What up, what up, what up? This story is slightly based off the song Waiting For Superman by Daughtry. I love that song and this idea came from listening to it. It's fun. I got the names Max and Allison because I had been also listening to Allison Stoner and Max Schneider sing Sweater Weather on YouTube. Enjoy!

Finding Her Superman

Chapter One

Lexis Potter felt the tears enter her eyes as she looked at her elderly headmaster. She looked back at the parchment, brushing her black hair out of her eyes. She traced the words written with a frown before looking back up.

"Why wasn't I told I had another aunt and uncle?" The thirteen year old asked quietly and he Professor Dumbledore sighed.

"We did not know about them until just a month ago. Apparently they did not know about you either."

"Why wouldn't they know about me?"

"Your father lost contact with many of his family after his marriage to your mother. They had no problem with your father marrying a muggleborn witch but your grandparents did. To avoid confrontation, they regretfully cut contact."

"So even after my grandparents died, they kept away?" Lexis whispered and he sighed.

"Your father was angry and they decided to respect his wishes of them continuing to stay away. So they were never told about you until the fact that your Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were killed hit the magical papers and your name was mentioned. They contacted me and we spoke for the past month." He smiled. "They have agreed to let you live with them."

"Wh-where do they live?" She asked hesitantly.

"Boston, Massachusetts."

"You mean, in the Americas? But what about my schooling and my friends?" Lexis asked in shock.

"You would attend Salem Witches' Institute."

"Isn't that an all-girls school?"

"It was but now they are excepting boys." He sighed but smiled. "As to your friends, I'm sure your Uncle Max would be happy to set up a floo connection for holidays and Hedwig can bring the Weasleys and Miss. Granger letters."

"What's my aunt's name?" Lexis asked.

"Allison."

"Uncle Max and Aunt Allison." She murmured. "Do they have kids?"

"Yes, you have a cousin. He is three, his name is Jason."

"So, I really don't have a choice, do I?"

"I'm afraid not Lexis. I wish there was another way, but you must be with family."

"Okay." She whispered. "When am I leaving?"

"You will take the floo there in a few days. That means you'll have time to go to the Weasleys and say your goodbyes. In fact, you will be flooing there in a few minutes. Molly will be waiting but no one knows about this so you'll tell them."

"I'm sorry you'll have to deal with Mrs. Weasley then."

"Yes, she does have quite the temper." He sighed before looking at the clock and standing. "You should be off."

"Goodbye, headmaster." Lexis said, shaking his hand.

"I will check in a week after you get there to see if you have successfully settled in. Goodbye Lexis."

Lexis went to the fire place, threw in some floo powder, stepped into the flames, and shouted her destination before disappearing.

Molly Weasley was waiting by the fireplace for Lexis while everyone was waiting at the kitchen table. They were all wondering if she was moving in with them after the death of the Dursleys. They had gotten into a car accident that killed all three of them and left Lexis homeless. Hermione Granger was there too and she figured that Lexis would be moving in with the Weasley family as they were technically her second family and the Burrow was her second home. How much of a shock they were all in for.

The fire flared and Lexis stumbled out with a cough. She muttered about stupid fireplaces before regaining her bearings. Once she did, she saw all of them and sighed. Ron spoke up with a hopeful expression.

"So, are you moving in?"

"Mrs. Weasley, I would sit down too." Lexis said softly and the woman did.

"Lexis, what's going on?" Mr. Weasley asked at her serious and sad expression.

"I know you were all hoping I would move in here, I was too, but apparently I have to live with family."

"But you don't have-"

"My dad had a brother. His name is Max and he and his wife and three year old son live in Massachusetts, in America. That's…actually where I'm going…"

It was silent as everyone stared at her in shock. Tears were building as she took out a letter and handed it to Mrs. Weasley who read it aloud.

Dear Lexis,

My name is Max Potter and I am your uncle. I'm sorry I have never seen you but I'm very pleased to finally be able too. Professor Dumbledore has agreed for you to come live with me and my wife. I know this will be a big transition for you but I hope you will like living with us. See you soon.

-Uncle Max

"Lexis, you cant really be leaving, can you?"

"Yeah, this is your home!" George spoke after his twin, Fred.

"You think I don't know that? I'm moving in with strangers and leaving everything I know and love behind." She said in a sad, quiet voice. "And I only have a few days. But, it's not goodbye forever. I'm going to ask him if he can connect his floo here so you can visit on holidays and I can still send Hedwig with letters."

She was suddenly impacted by a hug from Hermione and soon everyone was hugging her, that's when she finally broke down. Her crying was harsh and full of raw pain that Mrs. Weasley had to lead her outside so she could cry in private. Mrs. Weasley held the girl she considered her own as she cried, letting everything out. When she finally calmed, she went to bed and instantly fell asleep.

The next three days were very emotional for everyone. Mrs. Weasley did go yell at Dumbledore as predicted but his hands were tied. Lexis was given information from Hermione about America so she didn't stand out to much. Hermione had read a lot about the US and Lexis was grateful. The twins gave her as much prank items as possible and said to start her own legacy at the school. Ginny, who was very shy around Lexis, seemed to push that shyness aside and was very upset about the fact that Lexis was leaving. Ron was almost in denial. Almost. He knew he would not see his best mate every day at Hogwarts now and it made him feel awful.

Soon it was time. Mrs. Weasley also flooed with Lexis to the Headmasters office where Professor McGonagall was also waiting. She surprised Lexis by hugging her tightly. Lexis's trunk was shrunk in her pocket and Hedwig had been sent ahead. She hugged Mrs. Weasley one more time before taking a deep breath and disappearing through the fireplace.
