I was still in my common room and basically stayed there for two days. The pack well mostly Embry tried to get me out but failed epically. Harry stopped by once he found out and spent the night with me not wanting to leave my side. He's basically the only person I talk to and I told him I don't want him to tell my dad just so he won't get worried he has enough on his plate. Even though my feelings for Draco are starting to decrease it still hurt seeing him do that with Parkinson. There was a point in me where I love him and he was my first ever boyfriend so it still hurt. Embry was extremely worried about me and I sort of feel bad for doing this to him.

"C'mon Alex, your not like this." Harry's voice said breaking me from my train of thought. "You need to get out of this dorm and get some fresh air. Malfoy wasn't good for you so you shouldn't do this to yourself." He said.
"It still hurt Harry. I don't know where I went wrong with him. Was it because I was too busy for him?" I questioned looking at Harry.
"Even if you were he would understand and not do what he did." Harry ranted. "and honestly he's not worth your tears." He said wiping away my tears.
"Your right." I say and he smiles at me.
"Now lets go have breakfast than go for a walk to Hagrid's hut and he can make us his tea that you love so much." He encouraged making me smile and nod. I got out and got changed into something warm since we'll be going outside and applied some make-up just to cover the baggy eyes from all that crying. I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked decent and left my dorms with Harry and we went through the Common room to see the whole pack waiting there. They were shocked to see me out of the room but they were happy. Embry was the first to hug me tight which made me smile at how close.
"It's good that your finally out." He whispered in my ear and I Burried my face in the crook of his neck before pulling away and hugged Jake.
"It's good to finally have my cousin back." He said hugging me.
"I'm sorry for keeping you all worried." I told them out loud as I pulled away from Jake and looked at the pack.
"Hey your one on us now so if something happens to you it affects us now." Jared said.
"But I do want you to get some fresh air." Sam said with his arm around Emily.
"I'm taking her to have breakfast than we're going to Hagrid's." Harry told him making Sam nod at Harry.
"take care than." Sam said and I nodded and looked at Embry.
"Aren't you coming?" I asked him.
"I can't I have some pack business to take care of with your dad." He said sadly and I nodded.
"I'll see you later than." I said and he nodded and left with Harry as we walked in the hallway towards the great hall. Harry started talking to me just to keep my mood up,
"Everyone's been so worried about you." He said taking a hold of my hand as we walked.
"Really?"
"Yeah especially Fred, George Ron and Ginny. They wanted to see you but I told them to give you some space." Harry said and I nodded.
"So have you asked anyone to the ball yet?" I asked him.
" No." He said.
"Are you planing to asking Cho?" I asked
"How did you know I like her?" He asked confused.
"Your my brother Harry of course I know." I laughed quietly.
"I plan on asking her soon." He said not going any further.
"Well you better be quick cause I heard Cedric is planing on asking her." I said to him and he frowned at me.
"Don't worry I'm sure she'd say yes if you asked her." I assured her.
"but who are you planing on going with?" He asked.
"I don't know I don't even think I'm going." I said looking down.
"What? But you have to it's in the day of your birthday." He said.
"I don't have anyone to go with." I said.
"I'm sure loads of guys would want to go with you." He said "And I know that Embry guy would defiantly go with you." He smirked at me making me blush.
"I don't know probably if he asks me." I say.
"Do you like him?" Harry asks me.
"I've developled feeling for him." I say smiling.
"Well at least if you do date him everyone of your friends like him." He says and I laugh as we arrived to the great hall.
"You ready." he asked and I sighed.
"Yes."
"Here goes nothing." Harry and I entered the great hall with the students who are eating breakfast. Everyone literally stopped and stared at me once they saw Harry and I enter. The Weasley's literally ran up to me.
"Alex." They said Ginny was the first to hug me followed by the others.
"We missed you." Ginny squeals.
"How you doin Alex?" Ron asked working to my side as the twins followed behind.
"Harry made me realize that while I hid myself in my room would be something Alex would do so I  decided to come have breakfast with you guys." I say as they cheered.
"Alex." Hermione said hugging me.
"Hey Hermione." I say hugging back.
"It's good to see you. I missed you." She said leading me to our spot.
"It's good to be back." I say sitting down with Harry next to me, Hermione and Ron were across from us and the twins left us and Ginny sat with her friends.
"Malfoy's a real git for what he did." Ron said and I nodded looking at my plate as Harry started filling it with food.
"Embry didn't show him mercy though." Hermione said.
"Embry?" I asked
"Yeah just yesterday he beat the living day light out of him." Ron told me and I smiled and looked ahead to see Dra.. I mean Malfoy looking at me with a bruised eye. I just looked at him with a blank expression as he looked down.
"Yeah I guess he deserved it." I say and started eating.
"He bloody well deserves it." Ron growled
"But that gave Rita skeeter something to write about." Hermione said showing me the daily prophet. The head line read 'Hogwarts princess heartbroken.' Hermione started reading. "Young Alexandra Albus Dumbledore daughter of great wizard and headmaster Albus Dumbledore next in line to run the school, a young, adventurous, beautiful girl just broke up with her boyfriend of a year the heir to the Malfoy fortune Draco Malfoy. Sourced report that he cheated on her and she witnessed it just two days ago with a girl from his exact house Slytherine. Source have send that ever since the princess has witnessed this she locked herself in her dorms not getting out for the past two or three days. We will see if there is any information about the poor princess but we do know that Prince Harry potter has been by her side ever since hearing about this tragedy. No word hearing about the princess herself." Hermione read setting the prophet down.
"Has she been here?" I asked Ron and Hermione and they both shook their heads.
"Well how did she get this information?" I asked them
"We don't know Alex all I know is Dumbledore banned her from entering the grounds after the first task." Hermione told me. I looked at Harry.
"Can we go now?" I asked he nodded setting his fork down and we both stood up.
"You guys going to come we're going to Hagrid's." Harry asked and they both nodded following us. As we reached the door Malfoy and his crew stood before us. Malfoy and I looked at each other for a while but I walked pass him with the others following. I turned to the others.
"I think I'm going to catch up with you guys later I just need sometime alone." I told them.
"Are you sure?" Harry asked.
"Yeah I see you guys at the hut." I said walking away from them to a different direction outside. The only thing I wanted to do was cry but instead I thought differently. I thought of a song I heard:
If anyone asks,
I'll tell them we both just moved on
When people all stare
I'll pretend that I don't hear them talk
Whenever I see you,
I'll swallow my pride
and bite my tongue
Pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong

Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
Cry

If anyone asks,
I'll tell them we just grew apart (we just grew apart)
Yeah what do I care
If they believe me or not (believe me or not)
Whenever I feel
Your memory is breaking my heart
I'll pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong

Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
Cry

I'm talking in circles
I'm lying, they know it
Why won't this just all go away

Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
Cry
Cry

I breathed heavily as tears streamed down my face after. Looking at the trees around me. Even though I was hurt it never hurt anyone if the bravest person alive had to cry.
