A Discussion ~Alex~

[Harry James Potter]

Harry sat in his chair waiting for the owl he had sent out to his son Alex to arrive back or for Alex to arrive, he didn't care which just that he was worried for his son. After all he was trying to save his son from the path that would lead to unredeemable actions, he was more than anything scared that he would lose both his middle sons. He was always worried about them James didn't seem to get in a lot of trouble but Albus and Alex did, so he wasn't to worried so he simply let it go and was merely trying to save one. He couldn't save Albus so he was trying to save his other son Alex, he was petting the dog who was sitting in his lap.

He looked around the room it was only the Living Room but still he was here alone which was rare, especially since that new Lord had taken over. He'd been playing it careful so that he didn't do anything harmful to his family or himself, he was trying to build the Order back up so that he wouldn't have to worry about any of the things that had him wound tight. He was still missing his best friend, Ron he couldn't believe he was dead honestly dead, but he was pleased that Draco Malfoy was. Oh how he'd been pleased he was more than anything wanting to laugh at that fact but he kept himself under control because Mr and Mrs Weasley were dead as well as a few others.

He was thinking back to when he had heard of the death's it was more than anything worrying that he had to bury his friend and his mother and father in law. He was getting somber with these thoughts it was rare for him to have these thoughts. He turned his gaze back to the door as he waited for his son to arrive, it would be an interesting conversation he was sure of that but for now he would simply watch and wait for him to arrive.

Alex was leaning against a wall as the owl dropped the letter in his lap, he sighed this was stupid and about the fifteen time his father has tried to find him. Alexander laughed as he ripped the paper up before throwing it to the ground. This was crazy he was really going to go home? Standing up he looked around this was his chance to get a shower and clean clothes for the first time in two months. You see when Alex left his father’s house. Sighing as he regretted not going to his twin or even his girlfriend for help, but he didn’t want to bug him or stress Liberty out he cared and loved her he didn’t want to hurt her.

Making his way to the house he laughed as he thought about how excited he was thinking about the hot shower and clean clothes he was going to get, seeing the house he quickly climbed up it and into his old room before running to the bathroom pulling his smelly, dirty clothes off her jumped in the shower standing there for a second as the water hit his body he washed up rinsed off and got out as he dried off and wrapped the towel around him as he walked into his room and slowly got dressed realizing that now he had to go see his old man. This was not going to be good, his father would probably want to know where Alex has been or want to talk about coming home and being the good boy that Harry knew he could be.

Xander didn’t want to be the poster child of the family James did that for them all so why did he have to step in line and follow the family? Why couldn’t he be himself? Why did he have to be like the famous Harry Potter? Alex never liked playing the hero roll. After he finished dressing himself he brushed his hair and looked at his bed sadly as he made his way back down the hall and down the stairs before turning and looking at his father. “What did you need?”

Harry didn't much expect Alex to actually come hom he knew how his son felt but it hurt because Albus was beyond redemption but Alex, he was saveable. He was worth trying to save from his evil misdeeds he was not yet to far gone, he loved his sons but Alex was still one that he enjoyed being around because he was not a truly evil person like his brother had become so he simply waited to see what would happen next. He saw the owl return and smiled it was always loyal though none would ever quite be like Hedwig, it still tore at him occasionally to know she died before her time. He waited and thought about his life of late, at least he and Ginny were back on track that was a bonus. So instead he just waited to see what would come of this.

Harry saw him, he smiled but he could smell the boy. He'd let him come home whenever he wanted for clothes and things so he simply let it go an would wait for Alex to come down and see him over this. He knew that the boy would come down with an attitude he always did whenever Harry was there or involved just like Albus but he sighed and let it pa*s. It would be interesting to see this played out but he would only talk after Alex had said something since it was not exactly something he wanted to do with his family but that was fine for now.

"I wanted to talk with you, I know that over the last year I've done a lot of things wrong...I know that I haven't been a good father. I'm sorry, now that I've said that do you want to come home? Sleep in your bed? I will open my doors to you again if you want that. I know I haven't treated you the best either but then again I do have other children James, Lily and of course Albus. So why don't we just talk about all of this and maybe come to a truce? Your mother is worried sick about you because she doesn't know your safe, she knows that Albus is safe at Malfoy Manor. He's with that girl and her brother but it doesn't matter I'll let you make your call on coming home or what your going to do next." Harry spoke quickly before he lost his train of thought it was interesting to think that he had twin boys, why couldn't they have been like Fred and George were inseparable but they were actually apart of the family, only Percy had ever been a jacka*s.

Alex leaned against the door way for the living room and listened to his father’s stupid speech about him going home and being in the family. Alex rolled his eyes Albus and Liberty was all he needed and he was soon he was going to be back in school and have a roof over his head so why would he care about moving back here with his brain washing father? “Harry I am not coming home. You yelled and hit Albus for being who he is and I for one don’t want you to turn on me” he said in a dark tone, it was a knew fact that Alexander was dark and cold true he didn’t have a side and the good members of the family thought that just meant they could get him to pick one which was not true. No one could get Alexander to give up what he believed in.

The boy walked around the door as he disappeared and grabbed some food before returned to the door way as he stay silent hoping to make his father sweat a little before he said anything. He knew his father was not going to like his answer but it had to be said; the question was would Alex do it the nice way or the bluntly way? With a smirk on his face look looked at the plate and tossed it pa*sed his father’s head and watched as it hit the wall and break, laughing he stepped forward.

“I will never come back to live here again! I will not be brain washed or forced to believe in your views, I have my own beliefs and I will never betray them” he stated in the darkest tone he could think of, he had to see what his father would do about all he said.

"Alex, oh Alex. I would never turn on you my son, you have never turned on me the way Albus did. So for now I want you to know that I love you no matter who you side with," Harry told him as he smiled pleasantly to his son that he loved, Alex was so different from his other son. He enjoyed being able to talk to Alex here, so for now he would deal with it at least he didn't treat him like he was dirt the way Albus did. Harry let it go and simply decided to think over his next words carefully for Alex was still able to be saved unlike his brother but Harry was going to try and get him here.

"Just live here so you can be fed and taken care of, I'd offer the same to Albus if I thought he might take it. Just live here so your safe, I'll ignore you and you'll do the same I'm sure so that your safe. Your mother is driving me up a wall son." He said to him hoping that maybe Ginny was a weakness with Alex, it seemed to be a minor one with Albus. So he sighed and waited to hear what Alex would say to him next for now he was just worried about Alex and in some small corner of his mind Albus.

Harry had heard Alex's words and they had stung but he would not allow that to show to much in how he talked to his son about these things. He had seen and heard the plate and all he did was call to Kreacher "Kreacher, I know you might be busy but come do some cleaning." Harry said in a quiet tone as the House elf appeared and bowed to Harry and went to clean the plate, Harry smiled it was plesant that Kreacher was all right and still alive amazing that he was but still Harry was fine with that as long as Kreacher was there for him.

Alexander laughed if his father only knew that Alex was probably stronger and meaner than Albus of course he wasn’t saying that his twin was weak because Albus was everything but weak but Albus was lost and confused teenage boy that didn’t know what to do. Where Alex knew exactly what he was doing and was playing the death of this father, this ravenclaw had to prove that he was more then what he let people see after all he was a murder and a killer only Albus knew that he killed someone during the war if his father knew he would be lock up by now. The truth is Alex was a little sad about what the death of Mr. Goldstein did to his daughter she was a cool girl and it pretty much destroyed her. He was hoping to see her over it when school started so that his nerves were better and he could enjoy that he has killed before.

The kill did change him but he was good at hiding it the only one that knew he did change was the one that knew him best and that was Albus, if it wasn’t for his twin he would have lost it and told his father and been sent away. ”If only you knew father you would have turned on me already” he thought as he listened to his father’s stupid speech. “I will never love you and I’m going to warn you know Harry! You touch Albus again I will come after you and not stop until you are not breathing!” he said in a cruel and harsh tone. Xander was not lying the only reason he didn’t get his father back for the last time he hit Albus was because Percy Jr. stopped him.

Alexander laughed as he listened to his father almost beg him to come home, this case would probably be the last time he was in this house well in less it was for Lily he loved; speaking of that girl he had to get in touch with her to check on her she was in his house this year and he was going to be able to cheer her up more and get to the bottom of her change. Xander cared so much about his little sister and would do anything to protect her and never hid that. “I don’t care what is happening to Mom or what wall it is driving her up” he said coldly as he leaned against the door. “This is really stupid I’m not going to come home but if it helps you sleep at night which I don’t really care if it helps you or not but I will be moving in with my girlfriend and her family” he stated as he grabbed and apple and took a bite before throwing it at the back of Harry’s head.

“Now is there anything else you want to beg me to do?”
