I swear I knew Hedwig was a girl! I totally forgot while typing though! Don't worry, I fixed the mistake and will try really hard not to do anything so foolish again!

Short chapter!

Enjoy!


4 Chapter 2: Retrieving Harry Potter

Alexis was pondering a very important question as the small, red, rented car pulled out of the Ottery Car Rentals. After their rather messy breakfast, Alexis, the Weasleys, and Hermione had made the short walk down to the Muggle village to rent a car so they could pick up Harry from his aunt and uncle's. The children had watched in amusement as Mr. Weasley struggled with paying for the car until Hermione took pity on him.

"Here, Mr. Weasley," said Hermione, taking the wad of Muggle money from him. She pulled out the right amount and handed it to the annoyed clerk in exchanged for the car keys. "Thank you, sir."

"Uh, huh," grumbled the man before turning up his radio and ignoring the odd group.

Sirius had also joined them in his animagus despite the protesting of both Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Alexis had convinced them it was only far that he come, seeing that Harry was Sirius's godson.

"Behave yourself, Grim," warned Mrs. Weasley with a stern finger.

Sirius nodded his dog head obediently much to Alexis's amusement. It would seem every man had a righteous amount of fear towards one Molly Weasley including her her uncle, the exAuror Mad-Eye Moody.

"I'll see the six of you plus Harry soon," Mrs. Weasley said as she hugged each of them. "Bill and Charlie should be home when you get back. You didn't forget the Floo powder, Arthur?"

"I've got it, Mrs. Weasley," said Hermione, lifting up a purple pouch full of dust. "Though, I'm still not sure what we need it for. Aren't we driving back?"

"Of course not, dear," chuckled Mr. Weasley. "It's a rental car."

"Silly Hermione," teased Fred and George but Alexis wasn't sure they understood what Mr. Weasley met either. Then again, Alexis had never used a rental car so she had no clue whatsoever.

It was as they drove off, with Grim laying his head onto her armrest when Alexis final asked her question.

"Don't you own a car, Mr. Weasley?"

Mr. Weasley, who had made the bad habit of taking his eyes off the rode when he drove, looked down at Alexis in the copilot seat and smiled sheepishly. In the back row, snickering could be heard coming from the twins.

"I did," Mr. Weasley said just as Alexis jerked the steering-wheel to the left, narrowly avoiding a tractor.

"What happened to it?" Hermione asked, her eyes wide from the near death experience Mr. Weasley seemed completely oblivious to.

"Well," Mr. Weasley started, turning around to face Hermione. Alexis put both hands on the steering-wheel as Mr. Weasley unintentionally accelerated the car. "We brought it along with us on our trip to Egypt."

"Only dad forgot to lock it up on the first night," continued Fred.

"And it got out," said George.

"You'd be surprised how much trouble a car can find in a pyramid."

"Tons of trouble."

"Suppose it's still trapping in one of them," the twins finished together.

Mr. Weasley cleared his throat, completely unaware of the car's increasing speed and Alexis's amazing steering. "But I'm sure she's happier now- oh, hello. Hermione, what are the cars with the flashing lights for?"

Alexis rolled her eyes. It was going to be a very long car ride to Privet Drive.

.

"Not a word about the ticket to your mother," whispered Mr. Weasley as the group of three wizards, two witches, and one animagus made their way up the steps of number Four Privet Drive. Alexis couldn't wait to see Vernon Dursley's reaction towards the odd group - not to mention the red rental car destroying the patch of pansies at the end of the driveway.

"It's not like you actually got a ticket," snickered Fred.

"Yeah, you Confunded the officer before he could write one up," chuckled George as Mr. Weasley rang the doorbell.

"Mr. Weasley has no idea what you're talking about," whispered Hermione. "I'm sure the officer just let him off with a warning because he thought Mr. Weasley had learned his lesson on taking his eyes off the road."

"Exactly," said Mr. Weasley, a knowing smile creeping on all six faces -including Sirius's dog face.

'I didn't know you were such a good lair, Moony,' teased Alexis.

'Learned from the best, Padfoot,' Hermione thought right back.

"Hermione," Alexis said aloud as footsteps could be heard coming from inside, "we can't be friends anymore. I'm a bad influence."

Hermione snorted, "Not as bad as Fred."

"Hey-"

The ordinary door to the most ordinary house opened up revealing the face of a grinning, green eye, fourteen year old boy with the most unruly hair Alexis had ever seen.

"Prongs!" exclaimed Alexis and Hermione.

"Padfoot! Moony!"

Harry Potter practically tackled the two girls into a hug that Alexis and Hermione returned with equal mirth. When he finally released them, he turned to the twins.

"Harry!" sang the twins as the hugged the fourth year.

"Hey guys!" said Harry. "Hi, Mr. Weasley!"

"Hello, Harry," smiled Mr. Weasley. There was a bark and his smile widened. "There's one other person that wants to say hello."

Harry's eyes lit up with happiness as Sirius pushed the two twins out of his way. Dropping to his knees, Harry hugged the animagus form of his godfather.

"It's been forever... Grim," Harry said with a wink. He stood up when he heard someone clear their throat behind him.

Vernon Dursley was standing in the hall, his arms crossed, and his face very purple.

"Hello, Mr. Dursley," said Alexis grinning. "Did you miss me?"

"No see here-" but whatever Mr. Dursley was going to say was lost to him as Alexis and company entered his house. He did not seem comfortable with the fact that wizards were in his house.

"Still plain," said George as they made their way to the Dursley's living room uninvited.

"Booooring," said Fred. Hermione elbowed both of them.

"Hello, Dudley!" said Alexis with the biggest smile physically possible as the entered the living room to find Petunia Dursley attempting to hide her son behind her. It did not work very well at all. "These are the Dursleys, Grim."

Suddenly, Sirius Black began snapping violently towards the Dursleys, making even Mr. Weasley jump.

"Si- Grim!" snapped Mr. Weasley. "Was that necessary?"

"Yes," said Alexis, Hermione, Fred, and George at once. They all knew how Harry's relatives treated him and found Sirius's actions justified. Harry had to bite his lip not to laugh.

"So were going to Floo back, Harry," said Fred. Hermione pulled out the purple pouch and showed it to Harry.

"Yeah, the cars a rental," said George.

"Let's clear the fireplace!" shouted the twins together before Harry could ask what the car being a rental had to do with it. They immediately began pulling at the electric fireplace, ignoring the shouts of Vernon Dursley.

"And I'll go grab your trunk," volunteered Hermione.

"I'll help," said Harry, leading Hermione out of the room. Alexis couldn't help but to grin as they disappeared out of view.

"I swear, Grim," she said still smiling, "I'm going to get those two together."

She heard Fred swear loudly but when she turned around she saw nothing but a broken fireplace. Mr. Weasley continually tried to talk to the Dursleys but to no avail. When Harry and Hermione returned with Harry's trunk Mr. Weasley had all but given up.

"Done," said the twins. They stepped back and allowed Mr. Weasley, who had finally finally found talking to the Dursleys to be a fruitless waste of time, to take their place by the fireplace.

"Incendio!" said Mr. Weasley, pointing his wand at the hole in the wall behind him.

Flames rose at once in the fireplace, crackling merrily as though they had been burning for hours. Hermione handed the purple pouch to Mr. Weasley. He took it, untied it, took a pinch of the powder inside, and threw it onto the flames, which turned emerald green and roared higher than ever.

"Right, who's first?"

A screech pierced the air thanks to Petunia as Sirius Black transformed back to his human state.

"I'll go," he said grinning. He winked at Alexis and Harry before grabbing Harry's trunk and climbing into the fireplace. Then, with a nice, clear voice, he shouted, "The Burrow!"

"That-that was Black!" stumbled Vernon. His face was red as fire as he glared at Harry. "You let a serial killer in our house!"

"No, I let him in your house," corrected Alexis cheerfully.

"And he's my godfather," said Harry. He pointed to Alexis and said, "And her uncle."

Watching Vernon Dursley's face swell up like a purple balloon was great but not as great as when Dudley ate one of the twins candy inventions. Alexis was only able to see his tongue swell to two feet before Harry and her were pushed into the fireplace, after Hermione and the twins, by Mr. Weasley. They would have stayed longer but after two glass ordainments narrowly missed them Alexis and Harry decided it was best to leave. They grabbed each other's hand and with clear, unshaken voices, the two shouted,

"The Burrow!"

As I said, short chapter, but not too bad. Had to give you an idea of how Alexis interacts with the Weasleys and show you a different side of Hermione under the influence of Alexis and the twins.


caring16: hey, only a two day wait! Not to bad!

mwinter1: await no more! (This is my usual reply to you, do you know that)

aandm20: glad you're looking forward to it and I did fix my horrendous mistake in the last chapter about Hedwig!

NeverBeyondRedemption: Running and we won! Also, this isn't much of a spoiler so no warning but Sirius and Bellatrix aren't still friends. The fallout between them ended their friendship permanently but Sirius still remembers Bellatrix as what she was. He see that a lot in Hex. There was no reconciling in Azkaban the way you maybe thinking. As for your theory on a double agent Bellatrix... Err... As AWESOME as the idea sounds I'm sorry to SPOILER say that it's a no. I will not disclose anything about Hex's allegiance (it would take out all the fun). I find the Voldemort comment hilarious and no I'm the one rambling. Hope you like the chapter!

Pandakat312: thanks!

ThatOneGirlNoOneNotices: Thank you! I really appreciate your reviews!

SincereJoyy: I do that with ever story I read so I know how you feel! Ron's death was fun to work into my story so I'm glad you like/are confused by it! Jealous Cho may be back (you never know ;P) and maybe some jealous Harry but over who I wonder... Both Mrs. Weasley and Tonks, actually! It's safe to say there is something in this world that makes poor Moody uncomfortable enough to call for help. (Now imagine him trying to explain puberty to Hex and you might pee yourself from laughing to hard and so would Alexis) Anyway, thanks for the review!

Kuroi-Akuma-no-Okami: it's not, I swear! I'm just a foolish child that had a bad blonde moment!

Thanks everyone for the support and please check out my profile for the poll on it on who you all think Hex's dad is. I started another one called Who is Alexis's Father? Three votes for any of you indecisive people! Love to hear your theories why you chose who ever you choose! Oh, and Lucius Malfoy, Sirius Black, and Cornelius Fudge have been taken off the list ITS NOT GOING TO BE THEM!

Thanks again and REVIEW!
