This chapter is dedicated to everyone that has reviewed :) I love you all


How can you just forgive them for the way they've been treating you since Christmas? I really think it's

A bad idea that you stay with them, I don't trust either of them. I'll talk to me mum about you coming to stay

here for the rest of the summer. I won't have me girlfriendstaying at another blokes house.

-Seamus

After re-reading the letter several times, Lexi set it down on the table. She glared at it for a few moments before sighing softly. It wasn't surprising that Seamus was angry that Lexi had forgiven the boys so easily but they were her best friends. Pulling out a piece of parchment she thought about how exactly she was going to word her reply.

Seamus, I understand where you're coming from. But Fred and George are my best friends and they're helping me deal with my mum being gone. I can't just leave and come stay with you, Dumbledore said that I have to stay with the Weasley's. It's what will keep me safe from you-know-who. AND the boys are not just blokes that I'm staying with. They're my friends and if you can't accept that…. I miss you Seamus, I can't wait to see you

-Lexi

"Here ya go Hunter take this to Seamus." The owl nipped softly at Lexi's finger before flying through the open window. After watching him fly away, Lexi walked out of her room. She found the boys lounging on their beds and she plopped down next to Fred.

"What're you guys up to?" Looking up from the paper he was holding Fred smirked at Lexi.

"We're going over the plans of a store we want to open when we leave Hogwarts." Lexi grabbed the paper from Fred's hand ignoring the glare he was giving her. She quietly read what was written as the twins stared at her anxiously.

"This is awesome! Why didn't you tell me about it sooner? I want in!"

"Really? We -"

"-Just wanted to make sure it was a go." Handing the paper back to Fred, Lexi rolled over and start rummaging through the other items they had set aside labeled WWW.

The three spent the rest of the day excitedly discussing the layout and design of the store along with what they were going to sell. Right before dinner Mr. Weasley called for everyone to meet in the living room.

"Dumbledore has informed me that it isn't safe here any longer. Alexis' father has found out where she is staying which means that we need leave. We will be spending the rest of the summer at headquarters." Lexi started shaking at Mr. Weasley's words. If he was able to find out where she was how did she know that any where was safe. Mr. Weasley didn't have to explain what headquarters was, everyone knew it was where the members of the Order met.

"What do you mean Lexi's dad found her? Lexi doesn't have a dad." The twins looked up at Lexi curiously to find her shivering. Fred stood and wrapped his arms around her softly.

"Lexi's father is…"

"Don't -" Everyone turned to stare at Lexi with confused looks in their eyes. Dropping her eyes to the ground, Lexi sighed softly.

"-I didn't want you guys to know. But I guess I don't have a choice. My father is Voldemort." The sound of gasps filled the air and Lexi felt Fred tense slightly next to her. It was Ginny who broke the silence.

"I knew it! I knew there was something off about you. Why should we have to relocate because of her!"

"Ginervra! You will not speak about Alexis like that." By then, George had also stood up and was standing on the other side of Lexi. The boys shot stern looks at their younger sister.

"Come off it Gin-"

"-Would you be saying the same thing if it were Hermione or Harry?" A blush rose up Ginny's neck at the mention of Harry but she didn't say another word.

"Alright. Now I want all of you to go up stairs and start packing. We'll be leaving in the morning." Lexi walked up the stairs silently, she could feel Fred and George staring at her. They were trying to figure out what to say but Lexi didn't want to talk. She rushed into her room and plopped down onto her bed.

A soft hooting noise drew Lexi's attention to the window. Hunter was sitting on the ledge with a letter tied to his leg. Sighing softly she untied the letter and gave her owl a small treat. Returning to her bed Lexi opened the parchment to see Seamus' neat hand writing.

I didn't mean it like that Lexi and you know it. I just don't want them to hurt you again. If Dumbledore says it's safer for you to stay at the Burrow, then I guess it is. I miss ya too

-Seamus

Lexi smiled softly before scribbling down a quick response. She told him that they were having to leave and that she didn't know when she was going to be able to write again but that they could meet up in Diagon Alley. Once that was finished, Lexi packed away the few things that she had pulled out. A knock on the door drew her attention to the two identical red heads staring at her.

"Lex-"

"-Why didn't you tell us?" Looking away from them, Lexi frowned softly to herself. She didn't want to have this conversation but knew that it was inevitable.

"I was afraid you guys would think differently of me if you knew."

"Lexi who your father is doesn't define who you are."

"Is this why you said you thought your mum knew he was going to come after you?" Trying to fight the tears that were threatening to fall, Lexi shifted uncomfortable. The twins sat down on the bed each one putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"She'd always been really protective of me. More so recently than when I was younger. I think she knew he was coming back and she was afraid he'd find me. I'm not completely sure. I just don't understand why he killed her." Fred pulled Lexi further into his arms and tightly hugged her. Resting her head on his shoulder she let the tears fall silently.

"We'll protect you Lex-"

"-He won't touch you."


"George are you awake?" The twin grumbled something in response but didn't wake up. It was Fred who rolled over to see Lexi standing in the doorway. He observed her for a moment longer before breaking the silence.

"You can lay with me tonight if you'd like Lexi." Fred pulled back his blanket and moved over making room for her. Lexi smiled softly before climbing in next to him. He wrapped his arms tightly around her as she placed her head on his chest. It didn't take long for Lexi to drift off to sleep, she didn't notice the look Fred was giving her or the look George was giving the two after he'd awoke to their voices.
