Alexis paced around her common room thinking about her problem. Should she really go into the snake pit and meet Draco or should she just try to ignore him.

"All that pacing is making me dizzy; I'm here to help you know." Carmela stated as she watched from the couch. Lexi turned and faced the Elder.

"Its weird, Draco says i should be friends with him and yet, I've been hearing what a jerk he is." Lexi explained.

"I have to admit there is something about you that draws people in. who knows you could change Draco's fate by becoming his friend." Carmela pointed out.

Lexi sat down on an armchair, "I don't see how, I already have enough on my plate as it is. With Ron and Hermione being at each other's throats."

During the past few days Harry has become friends with Hermione, but Ron that was another story, he didn't like it that the smartest witch was giving him pointers in all of his classes and Lexi was in the middle of it.

"I would say tie those two up in a bundle and make them work together to get out." a voice replies from the doorway, both Lexi and Carmela turned to seed Harry standing there looking about the place.

"Hiya, Harry," chirped Lexi, "What brings you into my neck of Hogwarts?"

"Only place that is quiet, mind if I study here." Harry answers

Lexi waved her hand, "Go ahead, I'm finished with my homework. It helps when you have a tutor."

Harry sat down at Lexi's desk and opened his potions book. "How on earth did you finish with that thirty page easy?"

"Having an Elder who took Potions class helps," Carmela stated.

"Speaking of, what happening with the other higher ups?" Lexi asks, the last letter she got said that Piper and Leo were planning a wedding but it has to be on the new moon were the Elders wouldn't be able to see it happening.

Carmela groaned. "I and another Elder are backing Leo and Piper, but those stiffs are set in the rules."

"Rules?" repeats Harry,

"Sorry, its a bunch of laws that say Whitelighters and witches can't be in relationships, I don't see the point you can't help who you fall in love with" Carmela replied.

"All rubbish if you ask me," Lexi states as picked up her composition notebook and guitar she's been in the United Kingdom for a little over a month and she had already began to speak in their terms. She hoped she still had an American accent.

"Where are you going?" asks Carmela from Harry's side, he was having trouble with his Potions easy, she decided to give him some help.

"Well I'm bored so I'm going to use the last few rays of sunlight to work on a few songs. Since i have finished my homework." Lexi answered.

"Alright, I'll be here drilling my wisdom into Harry's brain." Carmela agreed.

Since her song, Carmela has been teasing her about an Elder's wisdom bringing her into the right path. Lexi knew which path in magic she wanted it was the side of good, she was raised as a good person and nothing or no one would divert her from that path.

She walked out of the portrait hole and onto the stairs; it was just a normal day at Hogwarts. But she had the strangest feeling normal was going to get really boring.

She followed the walkway, till she got to that bench she liked, she sat down, tuned her guitar, and she plucked a few notes and smiled to herself. She began to play just enjoying the rays of sun and the beauty of the Castle, the students outside heard the melodies, even in Dark Forest, the creatures stopped to listen.

Lexi played not knowing where or how these notes were coming together. It seem like she had a power to make music or she could be naturally talented. She didn't know if she would add lyrics to this melody but it was good.

A third year Hufflepuff student was so entranced by the music that the young first year was playing, like he had been at dinner last night, he just had to talk to the girl, she was pretty too, even for someone two years younger then him. He stood up from his friends, and started walking over. But the girl got up and left.

Lexi blinked and stood up from playing, she kinda noticed a feeling of being watched, but she was playing it was only to be expected. She walked back down the corridor between classrooms, heading for the staircases.

"Hey Halliwell." called a voice from her left.

The voice was familiar and sent chills up her spine, Lexi turned and came face to face with a pale blonde. "I have a first name, Malfoy,"

Malfoy looked around and grabbed Lexi's wrist pulling her into an empty classroom.

"Lexi," Malfoy began,

"Only my friends call me Lexi, as far as I know we're not friends." Lexi growled.

"I want to be friends," muttered Draco.

"Only because of me being a Charmed One," Lexi replied. "If that is your reason for trying to be friends, then leave me alone."

Lexi turned to leave but some force made her turn back, to see the look on Draco's face wasn't his normal arrogance, it was softer somehow.

"I just want to have a friend that isn't because of my family's name or money." Draco whispered,

Lexi knew what it felt like not to have friends. "If this is some trick, you will wish you never set foot on the train." she held out her hand to the Slytherin.

Draco smiled, it wasn't the evil smirk, and it was a true smile as he took Lexi's hand. "Thank you, I promise to lie off of you."

Lexi nodded, "I have to go before Carmela decides to do a surprise attack," she turned and looked over her shoulder, "I'll come visit later, if I can get out of my dormitory."

"I'll be waiting." Draco smiled again before letting his normal mask fall into place. "Nice playing by the way, everyone couldn't take their eyes off you, disgusting really."

Lexi left then turned around, just for show. "How dare you even think its disgusting that people like my music, I like to see you do better, jerk!"

She turned and ran with her hands covering her face like she was crying, as soon as she turned the corner; she stopped and broke out in laughter. She was a good actress.

Lexi walked a few feet then orbs swirled down, thinking it was Carmela, she stopped and waited. But it wasn't anyone she recognized, the guy that appeared from the orbs, has almond-shaped eyes the color of varnished wood. His silky, curly, medium-length hair is the color of chestnuts; what caught Lexi's attention besides his being a whitelighter, was when he looked up his eyes held sorrow and agony.

With a silent cry of horror, she knew there was only one thing in the world that would make a whitelighter upset, he lost a charge.

"Carmela!" she shouted then ran to the depressed and most likely suicidal whitelighter and wrapped her arms around him. Her sudden shout of her Elder's name brought a crowd of onlookers.
