Last chapter before we begin Hogwarts stuff. Aah I'm so nervous.

Friday, October 5th 1990

Alex was walking outside for recess when two boys from her grade, though in a different class, walked up to her.

"Hey!-T slur- whatchu doing." One of the boys said, Alex didn't bother learning their names let alone who was who.

"Trying to be as far away from you as possible so you don't lower my IQ anymore than going to the same school does." The girl shot back.

"Think your so smart do you?" The other boy asked "Well, if you know so much then what is your real name, huh?"

"Alexandria."

"No." The first boy began again "Your real name. Not that dumb -t slur- name you chose."

"My real, and legal, name is Alexandria Jasmine Dursely. Has been since I was five."

"And what was your name before you were five?"

"Alexandria Jasmine Potter."

"How about you shut up and tell us what your name really is, boy."

"I have-" before Alex could finish the original boy pushed her hard to the ground.

Normally at this point she would have gotten up and fought or called for a teacher. This time however she didn't seem to need to as her sister came up quickly after followed by their art teacher.

"Alex, are you okay?" The middle aged woman asked.

"Not really."

"Gregory, Marcus" Oh so that was their names "You have been warned way to many times this year. You're barely in school as you keep getting suspended for bullying, if not Alex then someone else.".

"But-"

"Not buts come with me, I'm tired of this."

The two 10 year old boys followed the teacher inside(not even they were stupid enough to try and fight said teacher) and Gracie helped Alex up.

"Hey, Al. You okay?"

"I'm better now. Thanks sis."

"Of course. Do you think we should call your therapist when we get home?"

"No, it's fine. I'll talk to her about it tomorrow."

"Okay. Just be safe."

"Of course Grace. Love you."

"Love you too, Alex."

And with that the girls separated to hang out with their own friends thinking about what the weekend would hold.
