In the Dursley's kitchen stood : Hagrid, bending down so he wouldn't hit the ceiling, Hermione her brown hair bushier than ever, Ron leaning against the wall, Mad-Eye Moody who's blue magical eye whizzing around in his socket rapidly, Fred and George smiling, Bill horribly scarred from Greyback, Fleur slender and beautiful, Mr. Weasley kind-looking and his glasses lopsided, Tonks her hair her favourite shade of pink and short, Lupin greyer and more lined, Kingsley bald and broad-shouldered, and Lexi.
Harry's heart skipped two beats when he saw her standing at the end of this very long line of people next to Hermione. She was playing with her hands and looking at the ugly tiled floor in the Dursley's kitchen. Her blonde hair had grown a couple of inches since the last time he'd seen her. She had on heavy eye makeup and was wearing faded blue jeans, a white tank with a silver and black tie, a leather vest and worn out Chuck Taylors. She looked up and caught him staring, she smiled and waved enthusiastically. She ran over and wrapped him in a bone crushing hug.
"HARRY! It's good to see you." She said happily.
Harry hugged her back, but his hug didn't suffocate her. "It's good to see you, too. Were you at the Weasley's?"
Lexi nodded. "Yeah, I actually got there an hour—"
"ENOUGH!" growled an impatient Mad-Eye. Lexi now noticed that everyone's eyes were on them. The girls smiling widely at her, she blushed and went back over to Hermione. Tonks hopped up onto the kitchen counter and crossed her legs.
"Harry, look." She said happily as she extended her left arm and wiggled her hand in the air. That's when Lexi saw his eyes noticed the ring on her finger. Harry looked at Lupin then Tonks again.
"You guys got married!" He said shocked.
"Sorry you couldn't be there, it was pretty quiet." Said Lupin, examining the kitchen.
"That's brilliant, congra—"
"All right, all right we'll have plenty of time for cosy chit chat later." Mad-Eye said and the kitchen became utterly silent. Everyone eyes were either on Harry or Mad-Eye. "As you well know now, we had to abandon Plan A. Pius Thicknesse has gone over and most likely told You-Know-Who the plan. Now we cannot Apparate or use the Floo Network because he will have that under surveillance." Mad-Eye dropped two enormous bags at Harry's feet." Second problem you still have the Trace on you since you are under-age."
Harry looked confused. "I don't—"
"THE TRACE! THE TRACE! The charm that detects magical activity around under-seventeens, the way the Ministry finds out about under-age magic! If you, or anyone around you casts a spell to get you out of here, Thicknesse is going to know about it and so will the Death Eaters. We can't wait for the Trace to break, because the moment you turn seventeen you'll lose all protection your mother gave you. Shot form: Pius Thicknesse thinks he's got you cornered good and proper."
"So what are we going to do?" Harry asked.
"We're going-" Moody started, before being cut off by Lexi.
"We're using the only mode of transportation left, the only ones the Trace can't detect. Brooms, Thestrals and Hagrid's motorbike." She said, shooting a smile at the fuming Moody. Harry wondered how he could still be mad after seeing one of her smiles, but then remembered it was Mad-Eye Moody, ex-Auror, put many Death Eaters in Azkaban, he wasn't dazzled by smiles, and especially not when he was angry.
"Now," He started shooting a glare at Lexi, daring her to interrupt. She smiled again, and Fred and George laughed. "Your mothers charm will break under two conditions: when you come of age, or-" Again he was cut off my Lexi.
"Or you no longer call this hell hole home." She said, smirking at Moody. Harry knew he was about to lose it.
"That's our girl." Fred and George said in unison.
"So, you and your aunt and uncle are going to separate ways tonight, fully understanding that you're never going to live together again, correct?" He asked. Harry nodded quickly.
"This time, when you leave, there'll be no going back, and the charm will break the moment you step outside this range. We're choosing to break it early, because the alternative is waiting or You-Know-Who to come and seize you the moment you turn seventeen." Moody paused for a moment. Lexi took this as an offer to continue for him.
"One thing we do have on our side, Harry, is that You-Know-Who doesn't know anything about us moving you tonight. We leaked a fake trail to the Ministry, well they did, and I had nothing to do with it. They think you're not leaving until the thirteenth. But this is You-Know-Who we're dealing with, so we can't trust he'll get the date wrong; he's bound to have a couple of Death Eaters patrolling the sky in this area-"
"Lexi, are you kidding me? You'll take that risk, any of you will take the risk of dying to get me to a wedding?" Harry asked angrily.
"Harry, we aren't going to have this argument again, it's getting old, deal with it, Harry, and you're loved." Lexi said back, Harry bit his tongue, knowing it was no use arguing with her, because in the end she would win either way.
"So, we've given a dozen different houses every protection we can throw at them. They all look like they could be places we are going to hide you." Moody said, looking at Lexi, expecting her to interrupt again.
And that's exactly what she did. "They all have a connection to the Order, Moody's house, Kinsley's place, Ron's Aunt Muriel's, you get the idea." She finished, smiling at him.
"Yeah." Said Harry, not all truthful, and not all happy.
"You're going to Tonks' parent's house. Once you are in the protective boundaries we have put on the house, you'll be able to us a Portkey to the Burrow" Mad-Eye said.
"Er—yes. They won't know which house I'm going to but won't it be sort of obvious" Harry paused. "when fourteen of us fly off to Tonks' parent's house?" he asked.
"We forgot to mention the key point." Lexi said. "Fourteen of us won't be flying to Tonks' parent's house—seven Harry Potter's are going to be moving through the skies, each of them with a companion, moving to a safe house. Then using a Portkey to the Burrow."
Mad-Eye then removed a flask that looked like mud.
"No!" Harry said loudly. "I'm not letting you risk your lives for me."
Lexi groaned. "I knew he would say that." Hermione said.
"If you think I'm going to let six people risk their lives—!"
"None of really fancy the plan Harry." Said Fred. "Imagine us being stuck as a scrawny gits forever."
Lexi looked at Harry's expression, he was not amused. "You can't do it, if I don't cooperate." Harry fought back. "You need some of my hairs."
"Well, that plan scuppered," Said George, Lexi fought back a giggle. "Obviously there's no chance at all of us getting a bit of your hair unless you cooperate."
"Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke whose not allowed to use magic; we've got no chance." said Fred.
"Funny." Said Harry. "Really amusing."
Moody looked over at Lexi swiftly. Lexi understood and walked over to Harry, her arms wide, asking him for a hug.
"Poor Harry, everyone is being mean to you." She said, with fake sympathy. He all too eagerly wrapped her in a hug, loving having her close to him again. Then there was a quick sharp pain at the back of his neck.
"Ouch!" He yelped, rubbing the back of his neck.
"You're a wimp." Lexi said with a laugh, wiggling a few of his hairs in front of his face, and skipping to put it in the potion. She stuck her tongue out at Harry as she got in line for a swig, to become him. Mad-Eye handed each handed the six people in line: Hermione, Ron, Fred, George, Fleur, and Lexi a cup filled with Polyjuice Potion. The potion was a gold colour and the six drank the potion down. They all gasped and groaned as the potion hit their throats. Harry's eyes were focused on Lexi. Her skin bubbled as she became tanner, her hair changing colour and going back into her head. She began to grow taller, her eye sight became blurry and her clothes were tight. When it stopped, Lexi looked around and saw that everyone was identical.
"People's clothes who are too tight, c'mere and vice versa. Don't forget your glasses, there are six pair in the pocket and when you done getting dressed get your luggage." Mad-Eye ordered the clones.
Lexi and the rest of the fake Harry's made their way to the sacks, and rummaged for glasses and clothes then put away their own things. Lexi and the rest began to strip down to put on their clothes.
"I knew there was no tattoo on your chest." Ron muttered looking down at his bare chest.
"Harry, your eye sight is horrible." Said Hermione as she put on a pair of glasses.
"Wow, Harry Potter has abs, Quidditch has done good for you." Lexi joked.
Once everyone was done putting on their clothes, they all took a rucksack and cage with a stuffed owl to look like Hedwig."Good, now these are the pairs: Lexi is with me—"Mad-Eye was cut off.
"Do I have to be with you?" A Harry groaned, at the end of the line.
"Yes, now hush-up. Tonks with Ron, Hermione and Kingsley on Thestral, Fred with Arthur, George with Remus, Fleur with Bill also on Thestral."
"Looks like yer with me, 'Arry." Harry smiled at Hagrid. Harry stared at a duplicate of him standing, just waiting for Moody. Harry— the real Harry, wasn't sure how Lexi could make himself look beautiful, but she did. He smiled at her; she turned slightly pink and gave him a small wave. Moody and she led the group outside and they mounted on their broom, and Lexi wrapped her arms around his middle section, easier said than done. Harry almost laughed at himself for feeling a pang of jealousy when Lexi was holding onto Mad-Eye the way she should've been holding onto him.
"Good luck." Lexi said to everyone, but mostly directed to Harry. Harry nodded in thanks to her, telling her the same, and her and Moody took off into the sky. As the roar of the motorbike's engine filled his ears.
Lexi held onto Mad-Eye tightly, as they flew to their destination. The wind blew in her face—or Harry's face; she didn't see anybody else in the air. Right as they got up into the sky, Death Eater's and Voldemort were suddenly behind her. And Voldemort wasn't on a broom like the rest, but flying on a black could. "Oh god." She muttered.
"Hold on!" Mad-Eye shouted as they gained speed.
Lexi from the wasit up was turned to face the Death Eaters and Voldemort. Voldemort flew above the rest of them, waiting for the right moment to join the little battle below him. Lexi and Mad-Eye managed to dodge a whole lot of spells for a good amount of time until-
"Avada Kedavra!" She heard Voldemort shout.
"Mad-Eye DUCK!" Lexi yelled, as she ducked down to dodge the Killing Curse. She reared back up and realized Moody was no longer on the broom. She looked down to see him falling to the ground, his eyes closed except his magical one, and then he was gone.
"NO!" She shouted, as she gripped onto the broom tightly.
"Poor baby Potter, just give up now." Bellatrix screeched, she winced and tried to make the broom go faster, Lexi was successful, but so was Bellatrix and her lot. Voldemort was gaining on her, and she could feel his presence drawing closer and closer towards her.
Spells flew back and forth, from the Death Eaters and Lexi. She had stunned most of the Death Eaters following, which was good.
"Give up, Harry Potter!" Voldemort yelled.
Lexi gave out a small laugh. "You can suck it, Voldy!" She screamed at him. Voldemort balled his fists and shot a spell at Lexi. It narrowly passed her ear. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Lexi screamed and looked away from her opponents.
"Master, we've found the real Harry Potter." A voice said from behind her. Lexi's eyes widened. She looked down at my hands, and that's just the thing, they were her hands, not Harry's. Lexi's eyes widened, the hour couldn't have been over, not yet. She looked behind her, as she began to change back to her true form.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort's sick, cold voice shouted at her, once he realized she wasn't Harry. Lexi ducked just in time as the curse flew past her head. When she got back up, Voldemort was gone, and Lexi was in her true form. How did they know about the plan? She asked herself mentally.
Her eyes met Bellatrix's and her lips curled. "Crap." she muttered, and blonde hair fell into my face.
"Oh, it's Potter's girlfriend." She cooed.
Lexi shuddered. "I'm not his girlfriend" She said mummbled. "Stupefy!" She shouted, aiming for Bellatrix but instead hitting another Death Eater in the process. They fell to the ground, and Lexi smiled victoriously. "Obliviate!" She screamed, and it hit another Death Eater in the head. They fell to the ground, damn she had good aim.
Only Bellatrix was left, Lexi raised her wand. "Die, bitch! Ava—"
"Expelliarmus!" Lexi's wand flew out of her hand, and plummeted to the ground. "Potter's wittle girlfriend, trying to kill? Ha, you can't kill me!" Bellatrix laughed.
Lexi looked forward and saw the safe house. She did a nose dive towards the ground dodging a curse Bellatrix had sent. Lexi jumped off the broom once she was a foot from the ground. She began to run towards the house, it came clearer into view every second.
"You can't escape us, foolish girl!" Bellatrix's shrill voice screamed. Lexi whirled around and was now faced with two Death Eaters.
"Stupefy!" Lexi yelled and her spell hit Bellatrix, in her chest sending her backwards. The other Death Eater advanced toward her wand pointed at her.
"Stu—"
"Crucio!" they screamed, Lexi screamed out in pain. Her body was set on fire, everything ached, and she fell onto her knees in agony. She let out a blood-curdling scream; the Death Eater was now in front of her wand an inch away from her nose. They tore off their hood and revealed themselves to her. It was Draco Malfoy. His face hard, expressionless. He increased the spell for a couple of more minutes then stopped.
Lexi breathed heavily, as she stared up at Draco. Lexi got up shakily and raised her wand at him.
He muttered something and her wand flew out of her hand like before. Lexi dug into one of her pockets and took out a pocket knife. Draco didn't look surprised or anything at all.
She lunged at Draco, about to stab him until Draco grabbed her wrist and twisted her arm behind her back. She dropped the knife to the concrete floor as she faced the house. She was so close to the safe house, but she failed.
"I'm sorry." Draco whispered in her ear. "I have to or else."
Lexi was confused, what was he talking about? Suddenly Lexi felt a sharp pain on her side. She gasped and fell to the ground as Draco released her. She glanced down to where the pain came from, she was bleeding. Draco had stabbed her with her own knife.
"Son of a bitch." She said aloud as she clamped her hands on her side. Her knife was covered in her blood beside her. Lexi picked it up and put it back in her pocket. And Draco was gone.
Lexi began to feel dizzy and lightheaded. She was determined to get in the house but when she tried to get to her feet, she only fell back down. Her blood drenched her clothing, as her eyelids began to weigh tons. She fought to keep them open but she failed. She fell onto the street and blacked out.
