SPOILER!!: Alex
QUOTE=Daydreamer11;11569228]After Alex asked Sander what was wrong, he went silent for a moment. She hadn't wanted to pry, but he looked so sad. When he confessed that he was going to miss Hogwarts and his friends, she understood. Alex had been in denial for quite some time. She was trying very hard not to think about graduating and having to say goodbye. Not normally a teary person, Alex did not know how she was going to leave school without having a hysterical meltdown. She had to look away from Sander, as the tears were threatening to appear just at the thought of saying goodbye. This had been her best year at Hogwarts. She had made such awesome friends....... Alex couldn't imagine how hard it must be to have to leave your school and your friends two years in a row.
As Alex pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind, she was able to look at Sander again. Trying to lighten the mood she said, "Whaaat, you didn't want to come to Hogwarts?" "You didn't know how much fun we are? Seriously though, I know what you mean. I've been trying very hard not to think about leaving. It's going to be soooo hard.......but, just because we're leaving school.....doesn't mean we can't stay in touch with our friends.. Even as Alex said those words, she knew that things would never be quite the same. "Hey Sander, you know you're my name twin and BFF. That means best friend forever. You can't get rid of me that easily."
When Sander pulled out more rats to tempt the Jarveys and called out to them, Alex was glad. Not a moment too soon. Taking a rat from Sander, Alex dangled it in what she she hoped was an enticing manner. "Here little Jarveys. Come out, come out wherever you are."[/QUOTE]
Sander laughed when Alex teased him about how fun Hogwarts was. Shaking his head as he grinned back at her, "
No I honestly didn't want to come here. I didn't think it would be much fun here, but then again, I didn't think I'd make the friends I did. It's all of you that had made Hogwarts fun. Without you, Tessa. Bay, Lux and Louis, I honestly think it would have been dreary." Sander shared his feelings with Alex.
"
Look at this crazy aging thing we're all going through...except lucky Lux, I would have slipped into a really bad depression if all of you hadn't been here to make me laugh and see the brighter side of things, like you're doing now." Sander looked at Alex.
"
Thanks Alex for being my best friend. And yes you're right, even though we have to say goodbye, it doesn't mean that it has to be permanent. We can still keep in touch and in fact, I intend to. So don't go hiding out on some remote hidden island," Sander grinned back Alex.
"
Best Friends Forever...no matter what happens," Sander agreed nodding his head. Then he saw movement from the corner of his eye. It was a nose peeking out from the bushes.
"
I think the Jarveys are coming out," Sander whispered as he pointed out the nose to Alex. A nose that was soon followed by other noses and then feet and then....
The Jarveys had come out to play...or rather in this case...eat. As Sander saw one pounce on the rat closest to it.
"
Here go ahead and feed them. Drop the rats near them but don't get too close to them. Their claws are sharp and they love to bite," Sander warned Alex as he handed the pail of dead rats to her.
