Author's note: Finally we are in the next Universe. Well, we'll just have to see how Hex deals with the changes to come. Also, there should be a Poll up to decide which Universe should replace the Harry Potter one once the story has gone through all of the Books/Movies. The Poll will be up for quite a while seeing as it will still take some time until it get's to that point. I'm also still open to suggestions that I can still add to the Poll. Have fun :)

Astro Gobo: You're guess was completely correct and thanks so much for reviewing. Oh, and don't worry about rambling; I love it when people do that :P
When Hex opened her eyes she found herself on a field. Well, it looked more like a swamp with all of the mud and puddles. Hex also definitely felt a little different. Hex went to check her reflection in one of the larger puddles, to find that her appearance really had changed. It wasn't anything like last time though. All her features stayed the same, but she had gotten younger. She looked about 11 now. Where the hell am I. At least give me some knowledge like last time. Just as Hex thought that, her body and watch glowed again. Hex searched her mind for what was new and quickly found it. "Oh great. I'm in Harry Potter as an 11 year old. I hope the pouch the Tardis gave me also covers wizarding money" Hex said to herself as she dug into her hidden pocket and pulled out her pouch. She opened it, reached in and pulled out a golden Galleon. Oh it does. Well then it's not so bad. Now to find out where I am.
It didn't take long for Hex to spot a familiar strange wooden home not so far away. The Burrow. She could play a similar thing like with the Tylers, although it couldn't be about her boyfriend. She'll think of something on the way over there, but first she had to mess up her appearance. She also had to hope that she somehow already kind of existed here to get a letter from Hogwarts too. To be honest, Hex was quite proud of herself. In her opinion, she was handling the whole situation rather well. Just wait till you can't keep everything inside anymore and you break down. A little voice in the back of her mind told her, but she ignored it.
By the time that Hex had reached the entrance of the Burrow on shaky legs, still being exhausted from Platform One and as a result of not having slept in quite a long time, she had the perfect plan. She knocked on the door as best she could and waited. It didn't take long for the door to swing open to reveal Mrs Weasley, who only needed to take one good at Hex before she grabbed her and dragged her inside. Guess it helps when you look like an innocent 11 year old. "Oh sweetheart what happened to you. Come in, come in. You look terrible. Where are your parents? Wait, sit down and I'll get you something to eat." Hex was pushed down into a chair where Mr Weasley was watching the whole thing happen with great interest. "Molly, where did you find this one then?" Mr Weasley questioned his wife. "The poor thing was just standing out there all alone. Look at her though Author. I couldn't just leave her out there" Hex had to stop herself from laughing. It almost sounded like they were discussing a stray dog. "Here you go dear" Mrs Weasley said kindly as she put a bowl of soup in front of Hex. "Thank you miss" Hex said. Even her voice sounded different; so childlike. Well, she was a child now. "Oh just call me Molly. And this is my husband Arthur. Our children are upstairs because, well, it's too early for them. Except for Charlie and Bill who aren't even in the country at the moment. We are the Weasleys by the way. What's your name dear?" Molly asked. Hex took a second to process everything that Molly had said. How can she speak so quickly if it's that early in the morning. "My name's Alexis Firestone, but people usually call me Hex" Hex said, with a shy smile. Stop acting like a kid Hex. Wait… no. Keep acting like a kid… yeah. That makes sense. Thanks brain.
"Well Hex, how about your parents? Where are they" Molly asked. Sensitive subject woman! Even though Hex would never admit it, she did miss her own Universe to a certain degree. "I don't have any. At least…. not anymore. I have no one now. All I have left is what I have on me now. At least my parents did leave me with some money I guess" Hex replied, tears starting to form in her eyes. Both Arthur and Molly gave Hex a sad look. They were both thinking the same thing and that was that she had probably lost them during the first Wizarding War. Of course that wasn't true, but Hex wouldn't correct them on it if that was what they were going to believe. "Well, if you want to, you can always stay with us. Bill and Charlie don't use their rooms anymore and you could always share with our daughter, Ginny. I'm sure she wouldn't mind" Molly offered. She couldn't quite understand it, but just like Jackie had, Molly felt very protective over this young girl.
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to impose. I can even pay rent with the money I got from my parents and I really wouldn't mind sleeping on the couch or the floor. It would be a lot better than some of the places I've already slept" Hex said. She really did like the Weasleys and didn't want to give them any more trouble than they already had. "No, really, it should be fine" Arthur said, finally speaking as well. Hex slowly nodded and gave another shy smile. "Thank you. I really am very grateful" Hex said. It looked like Arthur wasn't done yet though. "Going from your clothes Hex, I'd say that you've been living with muggles in the muggle world up till now?" Arthur asked, suddenly very interested. Oh I'll have an easy time getting him to like me. "Yes, sir… um Arthur. That's right. I usually kept my stay by helping with home appliances and electronics" Well that's not really quite true but let's go with that. It would explain my knowledge in the subjects better. Arthur seemed to really be excited and quickly started rattling off different questions about how airplanes worked.
By the time the other Weasleys were up, Arthur and Hex had moved onto Cars, giving up on airplanes for the moment. "Mum, who's that?" Ron asked. Hmm. He looks about 11 as well so I'm probably in the first movie. Probably not the book as the characters all look like they did in the movies. "Don't be so rude Ron. This is our guest Alexis Firestone, though she prefers to be called Hex. She'll be staying with us from now on until we can work something else out" Molly explained to Ron, Ginny, Percy, Fred and George who had all come down the stairs. "Oh right. Hi I'm Ginny" Ginny said, holding out her hand to Hex. I don't remember her being portrayed this bold. "I'm Fred and.." "I'm George". Hex laughed a little. She knew they would do this. She purposefully looked at the one who introduced himself as George saying "Fred" and then turning to the other before saying "George". The twins looked at each other before pouting a little. "That's not fair" they both said at the same time before sitting down at the table where Ginny was already sitting. "And I'm Ron" Ron mumbled and then sat down. Percy was the last to introduce himself and he had done it so stiffly that Hex had a hard time trying not to burst out laughing. Once Hex burst out laughing there would be no stopping her, which she knew.
"Tell me then Hex, how old are you?" Fred asked. Hex was sitting next to Ginny and they were both sitting opposite to the two twins. "11" Hex said, not being really sure if that was true. At least she would know all the spells and things already, even if she didn't go to Hogwarts. She was pretty sure that she even had knowledge on spells that didn't even exist yet. "So that means you're as old as Ron. Did you get your Hogwarts letter yet dear?" Molly asked, sitting on the other head of the table across from Arthur. Hex shook her head 'No'. "That's all right. Ron hasn't gotten his either yet, though I expect them to come soon." As soon as Molly said that, two owls came flying through the open window. One dropped a letter in front of Ron while the other dropped one in front of Hex. Hex knew immediately from that green writing on the envelope what the letter was. Looks like I at least do exist here.
