Chapter 1

Alexis, getting out of the taxi, gave a big sigh, wondering what she should do after leaving her friends. She didn't like the idea where she had to leave her friends and protect Hogwarts all by herself. She's use to fighting with her friends. She didn't like having to split up and protect a school. Alexis wasn't a wizard nor a witch. She wasn't even a mortal/muggle.

As Alexis arrived at Diagon Alley, she looked around, walking back and forth.

"Wow," thought Alexis, "These people look all different. The—they—Ha! That one looks look the wicked witch of the west!" Alexis closed her mouth tightly, trying very hard not to laugh.

Alexis grabbed her book bag and opened it.

"I wonder where I put the list. Please tell me I didn't lose it!"

Alexis looked around and saw a fat boy being tug by his ear by an old woman. "I can't believe you lost your list again, Neville!" screeched the lady. "I'm sorry gran!" cried the boy.

Alexis looked in her pocket and pulled out a piece of folded paper. "Here it is, "sighed Alexis, looking at the paper, "I found it. Whew!"

She scanned the list up and down. "What the heck are these things?" she yelled to herself, "Now why can't they send me to a humanist school? At least I'm know what Math and history is."

Alexis looked at her list once again, and then she looked around Diagon Alley and sighed. "Well, I guess I should get the books first."

Alexis walked towards a book store. "Flourish and Blotts," she whispered, reading the sign. She peeked through the window. It looked much different then the bookstores in the humanist world. Maybe this was because in the humanist world, there wouldn't be any flying books with a tail.

Alexis slowly opened the door and went in. She was scared that the flying books would fly over her head and hit her.

"Hello?" she yelled, "Is anyone her—"

"Shh…" yelled the manager, not letting Alexis finish her sentence. "Please be quiet or you'll wake the b—"As soon as he spoke, a loud cry shook the whole store, literally. Soon more and more sounds joined in. "—Baby Dragons," he finished.

"Oh, I'm—I'm very sorry," yelled Alexis, trying to speak over the crying baby. "But why—why are there baby dragons here? I mean—I thought this was a b—book store." Alexis' throat was starting to hurt.

"Well, the baby dragons are books," he replied as he took one of the screaming books from the shelves. She notice that the shelves was wearing ear plugs. She then looked back at the manager. "These books are called How to take care of Baby Dragons. They just came in today."

"Oh," said Alexis, still confused, "I see."

"So, what can I do for you?"

Alexis took out her list and showed it to the book store manager. "I need to get these books."

The manager scanned the list. "Let me get these books for you." He led Alexis to the left side of the store. "I see you're staring your 6th year at Hogwarts."

"Yes," replied Alexis.

"But I must say," adding the manager, "you don't look like you're in your 6th year at Hogwarts. Are you new?"

"Yes, I am," answered Alexis. "Very, very new," she thought. "I—I just transfer to Hogwarts," Alexis thought up, "I just moved here."

"Here," the man said, handing Alexis the books.

Alexis paid him. It took her a long time because this was the first time she used the wizard's money.

She carried her books outside, struggling to get them from falling over and off her hands. "Where should I put these books? I can't carry them around with me while getting more things from the list."

Alexis stood there thinking. "I could 'ask' someone to carry them for me—but I shouldn't. Not here, at least. They might put a counter curse on me. Maybe there's a hotel somewhere."

She looked around the place. Soon after, she found a nice parlor where she could stay overnight and rest. She placed her books down. "This look like a decent place. At least I don't have to carry my things around the place."

Alexis took out her list again. "Ok, now what else do I need? I got all of my books already." She read the list out loud:

"1. Three sets of plain work robes (Black)

2. One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear

3. One pair of protective gloves

4. One winter cloak (black, silver fastening)

5. An appropriate dress robe.

Please note that all of pupils' clothes should carry name tags."

After she finish reading the "Uniform" section, she looked around to find a robe shop.

"Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasion," she whispered as she read the store's name. "I bet this place would robes."

Alexis walked towards the robe store. "Excuse me," she asked the lady, "Can you help me find a robe?"

Madam Malkin walked over to Alexis. "Gladly, "she smiled, "Now let me take your measurements." She took out her measuring rope. The rope flew out of her hands and flew towards Alexis.

"Stand still, darling!" she said to Alexis, "I just taking your measurements."

Alexis tried to stand as still as she could but the measuring robe was ticking her. The robe yelled out her measurements as Madam Malkin was recording them.

She went in the back and got Alexis robes. "Here," she said, handing Alexis the robes. "What house are you in?"

"House?" asked Alexis, "I don't know? What are they?"

"Are you new to Hogwarts then?"

Alexis nodded.

"Well, the houses are where you'll be sorted in, depending on your personality. I, myself, was a Hufflepuff. That's how I got this fine shop—working hard pays up finely. Don't worry, you'll find more about them when you get to Hogwarts."

Alexis paid her. "Thanks," she yelled, still wondering about what house she'd be sorted in.

Just as she was about to go, she remembered something.

"I'm sorry," cried Alexis, running back into the shop, "do you know what 'dress robes' are?"

The Woman looked at Alexis and smile. "Here," she said, "I'll show you." She led Alexis to a corner. Madam took a dress robe and showed it to Alexis. "These are called Dress Robes."

Alexis took a careful look at it. It was like a gown, but with a robe over it. "Oh," said Alexis, "I think I have one, but not the robes."

"What color is you dress?" asked Madam Malkin.

Alexis tried to remember. "It's…oh, it's light red with crème trimming," remembered Alexis.

"Well, lets see then..." said Madam Malkin, "hmm…this would work—" She handed a black and red robe for Alexis to see, but Alexis seemed to notice something else. It was an elegant light green dress with silver trimmings. The robe was plain black and seemed to go perfect with the dress.

"Well then, "said Madam Malkin, putting away her Black and Red robe, "what are you waiting for? Go ahead and try on the dress."

Alexis slowly took the dress and headed to the dressing room. Even though red was her given color, green was the color that she liked the most.

The dress looked perfect on her. It was sleek and shiny, showing her curves perfectly, not to much, but enough to be breathtaking.

She came out of the stall to show Madam Malkin the dress. "This—this is the dress I want, she smiled

After taking off the dress and paying for it , Alexis walked out of the shop and walked towards a shop where they sold a lot of things she hadn't seen before.

"Let's see, " she said, looking at her list, "What do I need in the shop?"

"Other Equipments"

1 wand

1 cauldron

1 set glass or crystal phials

1 telescope

1 set brass scales

(Students may also bring an owl OR cat OR toad)"

Alexis looked around the store. There were a lot of things there that Alexis hadn't seen before. They look very—"alien like. If I didn't know where I was, I'd think I was in another planet or dimension." She walked around the place. "But of course I am in another planet—the Wizarding planet," she whispered.

After 30 minutes in the shop, Alexis got everything on the list except for a set of phials, a pet, and a wand. She could have been done 10 minutes ago but she couldn't decide if she should buy the glass phial set or the crystal set.

"Hmm…the glass is cheaper, easier to use—but the crystal set is nice, pretty, and stronger."

After about another 10 minutes deciding, she decided to buy the glass one. However, the only reason why she choose the glass was because she saw a very nice, very expensive red crystal ambulate.

Alexis paid for her things and went out to get a wand. She was struggling to carry all her stiff. She still had to walk around and find a wand shop. There were a ton a shops for food, ice cream, Quidditch, books, etc, but she couldn't find one for wands.

Finally, Alexis spotted a narrow and shabby shop. The words "Olivander: Makers of Fine wands since 382 B.C" were in gold, hanging on the door. Alexis slowly opened the door. She saw that it was a small shop, stacked with boxes and boxes of wands.

"Hello there, "called the old man. He was Olivander. "Here to get a wand?"

Alexis nodded politely. The man took out his tape measure.

"Let see," he said, "now what hand do you write with?"

"My left hand," answer Alexis.

Olivander grabbed about 3 or 4 boxes of wands. "Here," he said, handing a wand to Alexis, "try this one," Alexis took it, still wondering what to do with the wand. Olivander signaled her to fling the wand back and forth. Alexis did what she was told and fling it, but a stream of dust flew out.

"Well, I guess that one doesn't work," the man said as Alexis handed him the wand back. "Here, try this one." As Alexis fling it, the wand didn't let out a stream of dust, but instead it sneezed, "Ah-choo!"

"That one doesn't seem to work either. Here, try this one." The manager handed her a pink one. Just as Alexis was about to grab it, the wand flew up, away from Alexis hands.

"Hey! Come back here!" yelled Alexis. She waved her hands back and forth over her head. The wand flew higher and higher; flying away from Alexis.

The manager, quite amused and frustrated, handed Alexis another wand, and then another and another; all with different effects, but with the same conclusion. "Well, I guess you aren't a wand kind of girl, eh," Olivander joked. Alexis let out a small laugh. "Yeah, I guess not," she replied.

Olivander looked at her and said, "You are a witch, right?" He said that in a small tone.

"Of course she is!" Alexis looked around and saw an old man standing there. He wore these funny glasses and his hair was white and long.

"Dumbledore!" cried Olivander. "How are you? Not very likely to see you here."

"Dumbledore?" asked Alexis in a surprised tone, "Aren't you the Headmaster at Hogwarts?"

"Yes I am," replied Dumbledore, "and you must be Alexis Lang," Alexis nodded, "It is nice to see you," he added as he shook Alexis' hand.

"Do you know her?" Olivander asked Dumbledore, "Because I have a problem. I can't seem to find a suited wand for this young lady."

"I see," Dumbledore said, reaching into his robe. "I think I might have a wand for you—here it is!" He took o a wand. It was read like fire. Professor Dumbledore handed the wand to Alexis. "I think this wand should work."

As soon as Alexis held the wand, she felt a rush of hotness and steam rushing into her arm and then all around her body. She fling the wand and out came a stream of fire.

Olivander looked at the wand, amazed at its power. "There we go!" he yelled , excitedly, "finally a wand that fits you."

"Yes," Dumbledore said calmly, "It is as though it was specially made just for you," grinned the Headmaster.

Alexis smiled back, understanding what he just said.

"So, Miss Lang," said Dumbledore, "Do you need anything else?"

Alexis checked her list. "I just need to get a pet—but I'm not sure which kind to get. Any recommendation?"

Professor Dumbledore led her to a shop called "Magical Memegerie".

"Wow!" Alexis whisper softly, "These owls are so pretty. Maybe I should get one of these."

"Well, before you choose," said Professor Dumbledore, "You should go over here."

Alexis followed him, still startled that he had heard her comment, as soft as it was.
"Maybe he's a mind reader too. Not a big surprise if he is," she thought.

Professor Dumbledore led Alexis to the clerk's table. He whispered something to the owner of the store. Pretty soon, the owner came out with a cage. He set it down for Alexis to see.

"Pull down the curtains," Professor Dumbledore signaled Alexis. She did as she was told and pulled away the cloth. Inside the cage was an owl. It was snowy white and fluffy, but it also had red streaks in its feathers.

"It's the most beautiful owl I've ever seen," said Alexis, "Not that I've seen a lot of owls before," she added.

"It's part owl and part phoenix. The owl part makes it resemble an owl. The phoenix part makes it trustworthy and fireproof."

"Fireproof?" thought Alexis. "It's just what I needed!"

"So—"asked Professor Dumbledore, "How do you like this owl?"

Alexis nodded. "Oh, it's wonderful!"

Alexis paid the store owner. Even though it cost a lot of gold Galleons, she still thought it was worth it.

"I better get going, Alexis. I'll see you at Hogwarts."

"But wait," Alexis said suddenly. "About my—my—" she looked back and forth, making sure that no-one else could hear them. "About my—"

"Don't worry," said Professor Dumbledore, "the other professors and I are still discussing the issue and whether we should keep it secret or not. We'll inform you of our decision when you arrive at Hogwarts. Have a nice day." And with that, he walked away.

"Ok," said Alexis, in a disappointed voice.
