Gginsc: and that is okay with me. you don't need to like how I'm choosing to portray fem Harry. But I understand that if you don't like the main character, you often stop reading whatever it is that you're reading because of that. and I'd hate to lose a reader. So let me explain a bit about her character. She is a fourteen year old girl. I'm not sure of your gender or age, but I know from current experience that they are very hormonal. The world is always against them yada, yada. She's not acting like this because she's been betrayed. Well, not entirely anyway. Lets put it this way. She's stressed, and the stress is feeding the crazy hormones. The crazy hormones are feeding the underlying feeling of abandonment she has because her parents 'left her'. This feeling, added to the fear of abandonment, keeps festering and growing. And here the article waltzes in, all la dee da look at me I love causing stress. So the stress is feeding the hormones which are feeding the stress and abandonment which is feeding the outburst that was bound to happen. So all of those things equal the end of last chapter.

James sat their gaping like a fish. He closed his mouth, just for his jaw to drop back down. Alexandra giggled.

"I think we got off on the wrong foot. Hi, I'm Alexandra Lily Potter your daughter." she really wished she had a camera to capture James's face.

"Uh… I-I'm Ja-ames P-Potter. Please s-sit down." He gestured to a seat across from him. She gracefully sat down and looked at him with eyes full of curiosity. The door banged open making them both jump. It was Sirius and Remus. Their eyes widened when they saw Alexandra sitting there.

"Umm…we were just going. Right Siri?" Remus asked with a pointed look at his friend.

"We are?" Remus elbowed him. "Oww! I mean, we are!" they turned around to leave but she stopped them.

"Wait! You guys can stay. I want to talk to all four of you, and Lily's class should be ending in twenty. Just wait here. Actually, when classes are dismissed I would like for Remus to go down to Professor Snape's and ask him for some vertisium." He nodded and an awkward silence filled the air. Alexandra hadn't really planned what to do or talk to them about.

"How about we play that questions game again?" suggested James. Alexandra nodded and he smiled.

"Ooh I'll go first!" said Sirius, waving his hands around like a small child. "What's your favorite song?"

" 'Look how far we've come' by matchbox twenty."

"Do you have a pet?"

"My brother has a chameleon he keeps at home, my little sister has a rabbit, and another sister of mine and I share a yorkie dog named Bella."

"What do you like to do over the summer?"

"Umm…I like to read and watch TV and other normal kid stuff."

"What was the favorite thing you did with your friends over the summer?"

"Ooh! That's an easy one! My best muggle friend and I walked around the mall and bought some discount clothes before seeing 47 meters down! It was so cool. She could barely look the entire time! Everyone was killed off though…"

"Favorite thing you did with your family this summer?"

"We went to the beach with all of our cousins. That was pretty cool. But unluckily we went a few days after we saw 47 meters down…"

"What's so bad about that?"

"It's a horror movie about sharks killing. They kill one of the two main characters. They were on vacation."

"Oh." Silence fell for a few minutes before it was broken by soft knocking.

"James honey, do you have a student in your office? If so I can come back later." Lily's gentle voice flowed to their ears, slightly muffled by the heavy oak door.

"You can come in Lily." The door opened and in walked Lily wearing a spotted blouse, her hair pulled into a hurried ponytail. She gasped upon seeing Alexandra. Alexandra nodded to Remus and he hurried off to fetch some veritasium. He returned a few minutes later with a small bottle.

"Each of you four take a few drops. It's time to find out what really happened Halloween night of '81."
