Chapter 2

Last Time:

"What's going on at home sweetie?" Alex sniffles, "I know you are scared sweetie. But I can help you. You need to tell me the truth and I will protect you and never let you get hurt." Alex looks up at McGonagall and they lock eyes. McGonagall can see complete fear in Alex's brown eyes, while Alex sees complete truth in McGonagall's green eyes.

"Daddy hurts me." McGonagall strokes Alex's hair out of her eyes, "He hits, yells and touches me." McGonagall holds in a gasp. She knew Eric Daniels hits and yells at Alex, but not touch her. She is only five years old!

"Would you like to come home with me Alex? You will never have to see that mean man EVER again." Alex nods. Alex lifts her arms out to McGonagall and she picks up the girl. McGonagall grabs Alex's backpack and outdoor shoes, and is gone with a pop.

Now:

As McGonagall and Alex arrive to Hogwarts, McGonagall opens the front doors and heads up to the headmaster's office. Alex lays her head on McGonagall's shoulder, her eyes closed. Once they arrive to the headmaster's office, McGonagall walks up the stairs after saying the password.

McGonagall opens the door and sees her husband, who is the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. As she walks over to Dumbledore's desk, she sits down rubbing Alex's back slowly bring her out of her sleep. McGonagall feels Alex bury her face in her shoulder while rubbing her eyes.

"Thank you." Alex whispers loud enough so the two adults can hear.

"You're welcome sweetie." McGonagall whispers as Alex looks at Dumbledore. She immediately jumps and buries herself in McGonagall's arms.

"Stay away from me!" Alex whimpers seeing Dumbledore stand up. Alex squirms out of McGonagall's arms and falls off her lap. Before McGonagall could help her, Alex gets up and runs out of the room.

Alex runs down the halls of the castle sobbing. She keeps rubbing her eyes to get rid of her tears. As she runs she crashes into a student. She falls to the ground, looks up to see a red haired boy, screams and begins to run again.

~H&A~

Charlie Weasley watches in surprise as the little girl runs away from him.

Charlie Weasley is fourteen years old as his older brother Bill Weasley is eighteen. His younger brother Percy is eleven, his twin younger brothers; Fred and George are seven, his youngest brother Ron is five and his youngest and only sister, Ginny, is four.

Charlie bites his lip and runs after the little girl. He picks her up and holds her close to him.

"Shh... I got you and will not hurt you." Charlie whispers to the little girl softly. He hears the little girl sniffle and leans her head on his shoulder. Charlie rocks her side to side, calming her, "My name is Charlie Weasley. What's yours?"

Charlie looks at the little girl in his arms and sees her looking up at him with big brown eyes.

"Alexis. I like being called Alex though." Alex answers softly.

"So where were you running from?"

"I don't know where, but I like the lady who brought me."

"Do you know her name?" Alex shakes her head before biting her lip.

"She's tall and is wearing green. Her hair is gray." Charlie smiles knowing who she is describing.

"Her name is Professor McGonagall."

"MCGONNY!" Charlie chuckles and nods.

"Yes. McGonny." Charlie begins to walk the way he saw Alex run. As he walks, he asks Alex simple questions. How old she is, her favourite colour, etc.

As he arrives to a statue at the end of the hall, he sees McGonagall run to him.

"Oh thank god you found her." McGonagall gasps breathless.

"MCGONNY!" Alex raises her arms to McGonagall and Charlie transfers Alex into McGonagall's arms.

Before they could move again, Alex buries her face into McGonagall's neck.

"I'm sorry." Alex whispers.

"It's ok honey. You're scared of guys, and it's normal. But the man you ran away from is my husband and will not hurt you." Alex nods hugging McGonagall tightly, "Thank you for finding her and bring her back to me Charlie." McGonagall smiles at Charlie.

"It's no problem Professor. Alex is very cute and I would love to be her friend." Alex looks at Charlie with a huge smile.

"Can you teach me to skip rocks?" Alex asks hopeful.

"Of course I will." Charlie kisses Alex's cheek and forehead, "Well I have homework to do. I will see you later Alex."

"Bye Charlie!" Alex waves at Charlie as he walks away. Once he is out of view McGonagall takes Alex back up to meet Dumbledore officially.

Please review. And the chapters will get longer as I go.
