A/N: Hey everyone! This is my second fic. My other one had a lot of reviews but the site took it down so now I'm waiting for reviews on it. Please R&R this one and the other one I'm writing. Well, on with the story!

"Mum! Can we go to Diagon Alley now?" Alexis cried. "I need get all my stuff so I can pack tonight!"
"Alright darling. As soon as your father's done with his lunch. Then we can go," Alexis' mom said.
"Hermione! I have to go to work after lunch. They're expecting me. I mean, five killings already and it's only 12. They need the best aurors there," Ron said.
"But honey, I promised Alexis we would go shopping today," Hermione insisted.
"If only Harry were here. Alexis would've liked him," Ron sighed. "Just go without me. And be careful."
Hermione nodded gravely and told Alexis to get ready. They went through the fireplace, and soon enough, they were at Diagon Alley. Alexis took out her list and the two of them began to buy all her school supplies.
This was a rough time for all wizarding families. Harry Potter, the one who was destined to kill Lord Voldemort once and for all, was dead. In the final battle, Voldemort had killed Harry. Now he was back, killing muggles and people who defied him. Everybody stayed inside their houses, fearing that if they went anywhere, Voldemort would show up and kill them. Most people did their shopping by owl order. But not the Weasleys. The Weasleys were a well known wizarding family. Ron was a famous auror. Second best after Mad-Eye Moody. He had caught several death eaters and had a lot of experience. Hermione was a one-month pregnant mother who stayed at home and worried for her daughter and husband's safety. Alexis was their first offspring and now a mature fifteen. She was smart, brave, funny, and loyal to all her friends. Which made her a Gryffindor of course. Like all Gryffindors, she despised Slytherins, and wondered why they even bothered to come to Hogwarts if they were going to be death eaters anyway.
"Mum. Who's Harry?" Alexis finally blurted out the question that had been in her head ever since she had heard of that name.
"Oh he's just no one, dear. An old friend who died. That's all," Hermione said absently.
Alexis just nodded. They finished their shopping without another word about Harry and headed back home. The rest of the day was normal for the family. Alexis packed her trunk while her mother read a book about babies. As soon as her father got home, Hermione cooked dinner and they ate. At night, Alexis would kiss her mom and dad goodnight and get into bed. But instead of her usual dreams about her latest crush, Mark Chang, it was about a teenage boy with dark messy hair and glasses. What made him stand out most of all was his scar. Alexis tossed and turned, while her dream went on…
"Alexis. You must save them. I could not do it. Now it's your turn," the boy said. Alexis tried to get closer to him, but he kept drifting away, farther and farther.
"Wait! Come back! I don't know who you are!" she cried, stumbling to catch up with him.
"It's your turn…" and the boy faded into the mist.
"Wait! Don't go. I don't know what you mean!" but it was too late. He had gone and Alexis was left there all alone.
"Mum!" Alexis sat up in bed. The dream seemed so real. And the boy seemed so familiar. Like a memory.
"What is it darling? What's wrong?" Hermione and Ron rushed into her room, and light blinded her eyes.
"Mum. Tell me something. Who does this sound like to you? He has dark messy hair, glasses, and a thin lightning bolt scar on his head," Alexis said quickly.
Her parents looked at each other. "D-did you say l-lightning bolt scar?" her mother asked incredulously.
"Yeah," Alexis replied, now very confused.
"It can't be. She's never seen him," her father whispered. "It just can't be."
"Who is it?" the teen insisted.
"Honey, was he in your dream? What happened," Hermione pried.
"Well…he was just there…and said that I had to save them. He couldn't, so I had to. That's all," she said, trying to remember the vivid details of her dream.
"Bloody hell it was Harry," Ron said.
"Wait. Who's Harry? Was it him? You mentioned him earlier today," Alexis persisted.
"Honey. We can't tell you anything. Just be careful at Hogwarts this year. You might expect something you're not quite ready for," Hermione said, her tone grave.
