Alex and others got off the train and goes to the castle through thestral carriages, Luna is carressing the thestral while the girls except Delphini are all giving Luna wierd looks, Delphini told them she can see the thestral pulling the carriage while Alex can also see them.
he also told them he can see the thestral while Hermoine said only those who witnessed death can see it which terrified all of them, while Cho asked about this. Luna told them about her mother's death while delphini about killing curse by voldemort infront of her when she is just 5 years old, and Alex didn't speak just shrugged it off.
although all girls wanted to ask but they didn't, Alex is comforting delphini who remembered her old days in that cell, he pulled her to his lap and hugging her while patting her head. this earned the envy of other's but they didn't say anything as they know it's to comfort Delphini.
the little girl on his lap is bright red now but she stayed like that and is enjoying Alex's comfort, after a few minutes she let go and sat beside him while lowering her flushed face.
they reached the castle and goes to the great hall, as usual many familiar faces greeted Alex, Alex saw the dinner on the table and started his feast, it has pork, chicken wings, soup, and others. Cho is eating and also occasionally feeding Alex. after eating Alex glanced around to notice Tracy Davis and Daphne smiling at him from the Slytherin table.
he also saw Snape's daughter Arabella looking at him with a curious gaze and as soon as Alex saw her, she lowered her head and pretending to eat. Alex also saw Dumbledore looking at him with weird expressions making him frown.
he sighed and smiled at Cho who is munching the desserts like a squirrel. he held back his chuckle while Cho blushed and pouted, then she smiled mischievously and whispered in his ear," let's see if you can chuckle like that later".
Alex tilted his head but didn't understand while Cho is having a flushed face and also a glint in her eyes, Luna wanted to say something but Cho gestured her not to speak, after the dinner all of them went to their common rooms and then to their dormatories.
after everyone is gone an Asian girl with pajamas can be seen sneaking in to the direction of Alex's room that is separated from all and only connected to the common room, this girl is none other than Cho, she knocked on the door while Alex who is sleepy opened to see Cho with a red face.
Alex has a mix of emotions but he allowed into the room, he sat beside her on bed and asked," is there something you need Cho?", but the girl fiddled with her fingers then she grabbed both his cheeks, then placed a kiss on lips, she said," I can't get sleep in my room, so I thought maybe I can come here, why don't hou like it?".
Alex smiled and said," of course i like it", Cho dropped herself on his bed and Alex joined her but he didn't do anything as he know they're still not at that age, Cho hugged him and asked," Alex, you won't abandon me right?", Alex looked at her with a smile and said," why would I abandon my first love? you're my queen and head of my harem?".
Cho pouted when she heard the harem and hit him on his shoulders, but she move closer and hurried her face on his chest. Alex also hugged her and they both slept like that but before anyone can wake up Cho returned to her room and moved to her bed, but she didn't notice Delphini and Luna peeking from blankets.
in the morning Alex who is enjoying his breakfast noticed two intense stares and looked up to notice Delphini and Luna, delphini is blushing but Luna is expressionless though her eyes has a ting of envy, Alex blinked and asked," what is it?".
Luna sat down beside him and asked in a low voice," did you do it with big sis Cho last night?", Alex who is drinking milk almost choked on it, and looked at Luna and Delphini who is staring intensely for an answer, Alex just shook his head while Luna and Delphini smirked at each other.
