Home sweet home. I know, it's been how many months? Six? It's honestly not my fault this time! I accidentally left you at home. And thank merlin it was home where I dropped you, Julian had found it in my, Lima and Madi's room on the floor. He put it away in a safe place no one would find, and returned it to me unread. Sometimes I wonder how I was blessed with such a saint of a little brother, he didn't even try reading it from what I could tell and I believe him when he assured me no one, including himself, had touched it.
Now to fill you in on stuff that happened last term, we'll start with the 'Therapy Session' that surely could have made history!
This is how it went, I received a letter while out on the grounds, it was from Lex telling me to get the RoR (Room of Requirement) as soon as possible and so I was thinking 'Oh please don't let her have set anything on fire!' (because we've been working on this non-school related project involving potion work) and what do I find when I get there? Frederic Krum. HA, bad dream? I wished, at the time.
He put two and two together first, asking if I had gotten the same letter - which of course, I had. The letters were a trick, from none other than Alexis herself. We didn't know what was going on though, not at first. The hyperactive Gryffindor came in behind us and told us both to take a seat, she was all happy and cheerful; Asking us what was up, it was an obvious 'innocent' act that neither Fred nor I were fooled with.
I asked her what she thought she was playing at, trapping Fred and I in the same room if it weren't for our experiment (which it wasn't!) and refused to sit. I try not to ever be mean, but I was annoyed, she didn't need to go about it like she had - which I'll get to at another point you'll see. Yes, you. Papery journal. When I look back in this in my ancient years, I'm going to think I was a loon. Really.
Frederic was much more calm while asking what the whole idea was. Weird, I know it's like we momentarily switched places. When Lex spoke again saying she would rather I sat down, her voice was a little high pitched like it goes when she's upset sometimes. That made me feel bad, I knew I crossed a line, and did as she requested; I took a seat. After like the third time of Fred having to rephrase himself, Lexi answered the question: What the letters were about.
She said we (Frederic and I) have problems, and people with problems go to therapy. Therefore she was our therapist. Sounding insane yet? You don't even know the half of it. I told her we didn't need therapy. Not together atleast, couldn't speak for Fred Come on now, have you SEEN what happens when he gets mad?! Anywho, the boy had to go and say he didn't need it either, but if I did so be it. Mind you, this is normal behavior from us whenever we're in the same place we tend to bicker back and forth. Does NOT mean we need therapy!
Alexis ended up yelling at us, along with "Your opinions don't matter here! Haven't you ever seen how a real therapist works? The patient sits and tells their problems and the therapist goes 'and how do you feeeel about that?'" No options, blah blah. She moved two desks infront of us (with the help of some skilled charm work, might I add) and said if we really wanted to leave we would have to both write 'a good solid reason' of why we 'hate' eachother. Sam came in then, with a 'hostage', who unfortunately happened to be Curt. Don't get me wrong, I love having him around! But he really didn't need to be tricked into that too.
I suppose I didn't look very happy, Curt as confused as he must have been asked if I was okay. And I kinda sorta blew up at Frederic for the whole therapy comment, saying I wasn't the one who broke a glass last term due to temper issues. Also said I didn't hate him, I don't hate anyone which is still true. Not even Frederic could change that.
All I could say to Sammy was "Samantha I can't believe your in on this!" and told Curt aside from feeling like a child being unfairly punished, I was great. Then apologized, since I was having abit of an attitude. Uncalled for, but I don't care for being locked in places against my own free will because YES Alexis locked the door after Sam and Curt came in.
Trying to speed this up abit with less details, Lex tied Curt up with a rope spell unexpectedly and said if I didn't write down a reason she would torture Curt with muggle movies from the 1950s or something like that, and Fred's punishment was being attacked by TK. Now I will take a moment to say I am NOT proud of myself on this particular day, I was AWFUL and I know it. At this point, I blew up at Alexis for what she did to Curt and for trying to force us into doing something we didn't want to.. something about it being uncalled for to involve Curtis and my personal thoughts about Frederic were personal for a reason, as in not to be discussed.
I think we ALL were amazed when Frederic spoke up, asking Lexis to unbind Curt since it wasn't fair, he had nothing to do with it. That's when Lex untied him, saying she was only playing and then the tears came. Alexis Chosen RARELY ever cries, I should have felt bad immediantely and went to comfort her but I don't know, I was mad. That's all I could come up with. Sam however wasn't having ANY of it. She scolded Fred and I; Alexis had dumped alot on us, she said, but how must she feel knowing we hate eachother.
GAH this is where I would like to interupt with: Do you have ANY idea how much easier life was as a second or third year? ALOT. Anyways, I was guilty of being a reason Lex was crying. I wasn't being fair or nice about it, and so I pointed out Fred and I have an agreement to be civil with one another and that I didn't start any of it anyways and told her I got carried away and was willing to listen.
Again, Frederic was just full of surprises that evening. FULL of them. He went over to her and was almost pleading for her to look at him, because she was sitting on the floor crying I know, some best friend I am. URGH. He told her not to apologize, too. It was actually kinda sweet. It proved to me, he really did care about her. That's when things changed though, Lex pulled away from Fred. Telling us we were childish for not having a real reason to dislike eachother, and that she didn't even know any children that would act that way so "we must be clowns right?" she summoned PIES into our faces.
Can you guess what happens next? I think not. She tried to leave, but Sam stopped her. Taking over the therapy session herself, and including everyone. We had to say something about one person in the room. Before I would obey my angry cousin, I had to get everything off my chest and fess up like Alexis had wanted all along. I told Sam she could be disappointed with me, but I couldn't help it. I turned to Alexis and that's when it began: You say Frederic and I are childish? What was that Alexis? What did you do tonight Alexis?
You're calling us childish. I completely fess up to it, I was being childish. I apologize for that, I wasn't thinking at all. I'm not perfect either, no one is. But look what you did tonight, you tricked us here for therapy. You could have just asked us honestly, we both would have come because you asked us to Alexis.
Yeah.. I remember it that well, word for word almost. I'm not proud of that day, like I said. But I think at the same time, it was all necessary. I think we all grew from it, or sort of. There's an exception to that, I'm not done.
I explained my real reasoning for not liking him. Rather, not trusting him. The only thing I could come up with. He infuriates me and he knows it, but that wasn't the main part. The main part was he was so close to Alexis, right alongside me. Us being the two she would run to with anything, that she trusted that much. It scared me, because I don't know Frederic - we haven't given eachother that chance I guess.. what I do know is his temper, and that with as much as Alexis trusted him he could hurt her. I know, we've been over this a thousand times but it was the honest answer. I was worried that she was falling for him, and she had. I was also being overly protective and stupid. I shouldn't have acted that way, I KNOW that now, but I really hadn't thought about it before.
I apologized to Frederic, and admitted I was glad he proved me wrong. We all went and sat back down, everything simmered down playing this little game, you could call it. Alexis and I agreed to no fighting, we fought once for nearly two weeks and the world could have easily ended in that time of seperation! When it was Curt's turn to go, he said he didn't have any problems with anyone in the room except that maybe Lex worries too much about our relationship (Mine and Curt's) and not enough about her love interest. That, mister journal, is when the unthinkable happened. Alexis told Curt to shut up, he didn't know what he was talking about and then left in a rush before any of us could have stopped her. Frederic (keeping good to his previous words about defending Lex if anyone hurts her in any kind of way) attacked Curt! Pushed him to the ground and covered his mouth with the hand that wasn't on his throat. Sam and I were quick to break that up, as soon as I shoved Frederic off and got into the middle Sammy was helping Curt up and kept him there. She suggested we switched places, and told Fred it was time they left.
Thank goodness for Sammy, I'm still greatful she was there after all. She had put me in my place earlier, and helped when there was a near fight at the end. Curt, surprising me, was worried about me. He asked if I was okay and then warned Frederic not to ever lay a hand on me like he just had Curt, otherwise it would be the last thing Frederic did - First time I ever heard him so angry. More than understandable! But still, that was as mad as I'd ever seen or heard Curt.
Fred and Sam headed back to the Lions common room, I think (not sure) and Curt and I were just as quick to leave the RoR for our badger lounge. That was that.
Now- Eeep, I'll continue another day, mum needs to go shopping so I'm incharge here. Later!
