Alexis snapped her fingers and the door to Magic school appeared, she walked through it and went to find Leo,
"Alexis!" Leo greets somewhat surprised to see his sister-in-law in her forest green robes, a contrast to the black robes the teachers here are suppose to wear,
"Leo," Alexis replies, as she sat down in front of his desk, "I know this is completely out of the blue but I need your help,"
Cedric walked up, "Leo, did you get the...Alexis, what are you doing here? Are the children alright?"
"Oh they're fine, it's me you should be worried about. Somehow darklighters got a new type of arrows for piercing my shield," Alexis answers,
"What!" both Leo and Cedric exclaims.
"If it wasn't for Wyatt and Chris, I would most likely be dead right now," Alexis states,
"We need a family meeting," Leo states, as he stood up
Alexis nods, "Right, that's why I came here."
"I'll be right back, I'll tell my TA to watch the class." Cedric states, with worry in his eyes for his wife.
"Paige! Your sister needs you at the manor!" Alexis shouts, as she turned and left the main hall and used the door to go to the manor.
Piper just came down the stairs as the door to Magic school appeared, it wasn't time for Leo to be back yet. "Le...Lexi?"
"Hey sis. I'm calling a family meeting." Alexis states,
"Mel, go up to your room." Piper states, as she and her youngest sister go into the living room.
"But mom...oh hi Aunt Lexi.." Melinda greets, then did a double take "Aunt Lexi?"
"Do as your mother says, Melinda." Alexis states,
"Alright," Melinda replies, "Nice robes, Halloween is a few months away though,"
Alexis states, "Was I like her when I was a teen?"
"Worse," Piper replies, "So what is this family meeting about?"
Paige orbed in along with Phoebe,
"What's going on?" Paige asks,
"I almost died that's what's going on," Alexis answers, as Cedric and Leo came from the door to Magic School then she began to explain what happened at Hogwarts.
"So do you need us?" Piper asks
Alexis sighed as she looked at her forty-seven year old sister, "No, that is why I had to lie to Wyatt and Chris, I want the four of them together since they're stronger under the same roof,"
"Alright," Piper agrees, "I still don't like the idea of them being away from home,"
"that's why I'm teaching Potions. So I can keep an eye on them," Alexis replies, "And I don't like the idea of my children fighting demons at the age I was."
"Now you see how easy it is," Piper states,
"What is?" Alexis asks, confused
"Worrying," Piper answers,
Alexis stands up, "I'll leave the gray hairs to you and Leo,"
"I believe I see a couple of them," Leo states, and he, Cedric, Piper, Phoebe and Paige had the enjoyment of seeing Alexis rush to the hallway mirror.
"Stop laughing!" Alexis exclaims, then she turned to her husband with her hands on her hips, "Ced, you're getting them first."
Cedric stopped laughing, then ran a hand through his hair, hoping there wasn't any gray hairs.
"I was teasing, Lexi." Leo states, "You don't have any for now,"
"Unlike you, oh decrepit one." Alexis replies, "I got to go back and set up for the class tomorrow, and for laughing at me, Ced. You're sleeping on the couch all summer."
"But, but, but, but." Cedric states, but Alexis apparated with a popping sound.
"Just be glad she's not making you sleep out in the yard," Leo replies,
"Leo," Piper warns,
With that said and done, Cedric and Leo ran for the safety of Magic School.
~~~Warren House~~~
Regulus paced back and forth trying to decide how to get his mother to agree to let him go back to Gryffindor,
"Forget it, Regulus." Alexis states, walking in the common room "I know that look and you're not going back."
"But mum." Regulus pouts,
Alexis rolled her eyes, "come over and sit with me,"
Regulus reluctantly went over to the couch and sat with his mother,
"why are you so upset?" Alexis asks,
"Because I wanted to be away from Nymphadora," Regulus answers,
Alexis blinked and had a sudden sense of familiarness, "We're more alike then you know, love."
"How so?" Regulus asks,
"I wanted the same thing growing up to be apart from the Sisterhood," Alexis answers, "Same thing with you now and you haven't reached your destiny yet."
"What destiny is that?" Regulus asks,
"to take over for your aunts and I." Alexis answers, "We're not going to around to battle for the Greater Good forever,"
Regulus let his male pride go and hugged his mother, "Don't talk about that, please."
"Sorry," Alexis apologizes and hugs her son back,
"Mum?" Regulus asks,
"Yes," Alexis replies,
"Can we do this again, you know spend some mother/son time together?" Regulus asks, "I like it,"
Alexis felt guilty now that she had been neglecting her son, she still couldn't get the image of Nymphadora dying in her arms out of her mind after the future was changed, "of course."
Regulus stood up, "I'm going to bed now,"
Alexis watched her son walk up the stairs, "Panther?"
Regulus stopped it was the first time his mother ever used his nickname before, "Yes, mum?"
"Love you, son." Alexis states,
"Love you too, mum." Regulus replies,
"And tell your sister, who's spying on us. I said I love her too," Alexis states,
Regulus turned the corner where the dorms went their separate ways to either side, and saw his sister
"How does she know?" Nymphadora asks,
"She's our mum, she knows everything." Regulus answers, "Night sis."
"Night bro," Nymphadora sighed as she went to her empty dorm room.
