Comments from the Author:

I am very horrible with beginnings, so bear with me. I wrote this first chapter, I deleted it on purpose, then rewrote it, stopped in the middle and edited the beginning, finished it and then edited it all over again.

I also decided to move on to Harry's 6th year, except for the fact that Dumbledore did not die. In fact, the events that happened at the end of book 6 did happened…but failed. Snape brought Draco to the Order for safety, and though he is rather…damaged, for lack of better wording, in what happened, he is still the snide, evil Malfoy ferret. Harry and Ginny are a couple but that may change evil smile and yes, Ron and Hermoine. So sorry all those Ginny/others and Hermy/others. But it may change. I do have an uncanny ability to be cruel in love life stories. So I don't know. I will try my best to write a great fanfic that will nearly surprise you all almost as much as Rowling does.

Why a T rating?

To be on the safe side. It will begin to become more towards the teen audience with action, adventure, and yes, some romance.

I, unfortunetly, do not own, nor do I claim to have come up with the original ideas presented in Harry Potter. That credit goes to JK Rowling.

I do, however, claim the fanfic characters and the plotline presented in this fanfic to be of my creation and if I see them used anywhere without my knowledge or credit, or without you asking me, I will raise Hell. Thank you.

Chapter One
Alexandria Lexington

"Draco! You'll destroy everything! Please! Please…Help us! Help him...Do it for me…Draco. I know there's good in you…I—I love you. Please, help us…"

Bright blue eyes shot opened as she lurched forward slightly. Alexandria Lexington blinked once, she blinked twice and then she yawned lightly. What kind of dream was that? It was so weird, and Lexi wouldn't help but shake her head, trying to clear her thoughts. Draco…as in Malfoy? "Ew…" She said, before laughing quietly. Oh well, dreams happen, it does not mean they are real or are going to happen. In fact—

"Can I sit here?" The male voice startled her and she jumped in her sit, innocent eyes looking towards the door. "Are these saved for anyone?" All Lexi could do was stare at this boy, eyes widened slightly, distressed by her being woken up.

Harry Potter.

He was late again, to the train, to another school year at Hogwarts. Well, technically not late, for if he was, he wouldn't be on the train. Regardless, he had that look in his green eyes like this was the absolutely last apartment on The Hogwarts Express. It was also strange, seeing him in his uniform already. Usually he walked right past her own compartment on the train, still in his muggle clothing, and found space for himself and his friends. His hair looked the same it always did, though, messy and very black. Her light brown hair, on the other hand, was brushed through and braided to the side and over her shoulder, a few strands of bangs hanging in front of her eyes, though she made no move to brush them away.

Now, Alexandria Lexington was in the same year as Harry Potter. In fact, they were in the same House, and in most of the same classes…and it looked as if he did not recognize her. Then again, she was the quiet type and did not like to bring attention to herself. And Harry tended to bring way too much attention to him and all his friends. Not only that, but he always seemed to be in his own little world where He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is always after him. Lexi shouldn't blame him, though…because You-Know-Who really was back and has been for a year now.

"No…You can sit here if you would like! I'm sorry…you startled me…" Alexandria laughed quietly, before turning red and looking back out the window. Oh…that's what woke me up. We are on our way to Hogwarts now…

Blue eyes met green and she stared at him while he put his trunk up above, then sat across from her. Alexandria watched him as long as her shy demeanor allowed her to before she looked out of the window at the passing scenery.

Harry stared at her and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the opening of the compartment door.

"Harry!"

"Harry, how are you?"

"Everything okay, Harry?"

Neville, Luna, and Ginny walked into the compartment and shut the door, Luna taking a seat beside Alexandria, Neville beside her, and then Ginny next to Harry. The Ravenclaw immediately pulled out an issue of the Quibbler and began reading it upside-down. Alex had this strange look on her face and then turned and looked out the window, feeling Ginny and Harry's eyes on her.

This was something she was not used to, these people. She was just used to being alone and having quiet. Instead, it was becoming loud, what with the four others in the train compartment talking. Alexandria let out a sigh and wished that the ride would hurry. Instead, it dragged on forever, until finally, at last, the train pulled slowly towards Hogwarts, to everyone's home.
