The Tale of Alexandria Black

Chapter 10

It was a few more weeks till the end of the school year. I could do it. I have done it. I have dealt with everything from getting detention to being beat up in the corridor in front of Potions to meeting Snape to losing my dad to my mum going missing, but nothing could have prepared me for this. Snape complementing me. Yep. Snape complemented me. I can’t believe that. It is like a miracle of some sort happened to him.

“Alex?”

“Alex?”

“ALEXANDRIA BLACK, YOU BETTER AWNSER ME BEFORE I GO ALL BALISTIC ON YOUR BLOODY ASS!!!” Raven, one of these days when you knock me out of a day dream I will punch you.

“Yes?” I asked calmly.

“You see if I did that, she would have punched me,” Ron said from in front of me.

“Well yeah, because you’re not me,” Raven said.

“Shut up, you two,” Hermione said. When she got over to where I was sitting in the common room without me noticing surprises me. I guess I really m out of it. You would be to if Snape gave YOU a compliment. Now tell me what would you do?

“I think her ego has grown,” Fred whispered from beside me.

“Remember what happened last time someone said something about her ego?” George asked.

“Sadly,” Fred and Raven said at the same time.

“As I was saying is that I still can’t believe it took these three this long to get detention,” Raven said as she gave Ron a noogie.

“Stop,” Ron groaned.

“Never,” She said giving him a worse noogie.

“How did you get detention?” I asked Harry.

A few weeks later the school found out that Professor Quirell was a puppet of Voldemort and that he tried to steal the Sorcerers’ Stone that was locked up in the forbidden corridor. Harry, Hermione, and Ron decided to stop him. They did. Harry ended up in the hospital wing for the last few days of school. Everyone was packed and ready to leave Hogwarts for the summer, but I still had one more thing to do before I left. To visit Harry. And that is what I did.

I went into the Hospital wing after Madam Pomfrey stop letting visitors in, but not to worry, she always lets me in.

 “Yes, Miss Black, back here. Be quick, please. We must all go the End Of the Year Banquet,” She told me.

“Yes, mam,” I told her.

I grabbed a chair and pulled it over to Harry’s bed.

“Hey, Alex,” He greeted me.

“Hello, Harry, how are you feeling?” I asked him.

“I could be better,” He answered.

“No joke,” I replied. He let out chuckle. “Everyone is worried you know.”

“Yeah, I know.” He looked at the table beside him at all the flowers and junk.

“Hey, don’t worry about all that stuff. The more you get injured the less people will send. I should know I get injured almost every day.” I told him.

“I really haven’t had a conversation with you,” He observed.

“Yeah, I know. We are going to have to change that. Who gave you the dung bombs?” I asked him, even though I already knew the answer.

“Your friends,” he answered. “Though the girl is a bit mental isn’t she?” He  is talking about Raven.

“You have no idea,” I told him. He chuckled again.
