A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! THANKS TO MY BETA ELENA RAIN! ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT "Will We Find a Home Justin" by Im a Skyscraper! WARNING: MAJOR GINNY BASHING IN THIS CHAPTER!

Alex and Justin looked to each other. Could this green flash spell have something to do with the big secret Molly was hiding from them? Could it be the reason she keeps having these nightmares? Could these dreams really be her brain trying to remember her past?

"Is there any way for us to remember our past? Is there a spell or…or anything we can do to remember?" Justin asked.

Harry and Hermione shared a look. Hermione looked down at her hands. "No, no there isn't a spell I'm sorry."

"You sound like you're talking from experience." Alex said softly.

Hermione nodded. "I am."

"Were your memoires taken from you too?"

"No, but I had to take memories away from people I love to protect them."

"Who?"

Hermione inhaled and exhaled a deep breath. Harry squeezed her hand. "My parents. They had no real magic in their blood and only knew about magic because of me. So when Voldamort was going around killing all the none magic humans but who knew about magic they were in danger so I erased their memoires of me all together. They wouldn't know who I was if I was standing in front of them. After the war was over I searched and searched for anything that could make them remember but I always came up empty."

"That's rough I'm really sorry." Justin said.

"Mom is none magical human that knows about magic." Alex said.

Justin nodded. "But we don't have to worry. She and dad are safe in New York."

"Voldamort is dead too. So your mom and dad are safe." Harry said.

"Then why do I keep having these nightmares of this green flash?"

"Maybe it was that illegal spell that killed our real father and you witnessed it, maybe that's what Molly and Dad are trying to hide from you."

Alex shrugged. "That Malfoy boy said I was the reason he got killed. What did that mean?"

"I wouldn't listen to Malfoy, Alex. He just enjoys tormenting new people. He spent most of his time picking on us when we first got here." Harry explained. "I'm sure he was just trying to upset you."

Alex shrugged again. "Everyone at this school knows more about me than I do. It isn't fair."

"I know, that's how it was for me. I didn't even know I was a wizard until I was 11. Then I came to this school and everyone I spoke to acted like they had known me my entire life. The important part is to ask questions. That way you can learn about your life."

Alex nodded softly. "Do you know anything about me?"

"All I know is stuff I've recently learned. I know nothing about your past. I'm sorry."

Alex sighed and nodded. "Thanks for being honest."

Harry nodded and smiled. "Something I am sure about is how to make you smile." With that he poked her in the side and she shrieked. Everyone laughed.

"If you're ok now, I think we should go back to bed." Justin said.

"Yeah, I'm ok. Thank you, Justin. I love you."

"I love you too. Come get me if you need me."

Alex nodded and hugged her brother tightly. The two girls and the two boys went back to their rooms and went right back to sleep. Alex was able to sleep without any nightmares.

The next morning everyone was in the Great Hall eating breakfast.

"So, Alex, how are you adjusting to Hogwarts so far?" Ginny asked.

Everyone looked shocked. It was the first time she has actually said something…nice.

"It's going to take some getting used to but I'm doing all right." Alex answered honestly.

"Must be hard without your mommy and daddy here."

Alex nodded un sure of how to respond. "Um..it's ok. I'm a little home sick but I'll be ok.

"A little? It didn't sound like that last night. You were screaming on top of your lungs for your mommy and daddy!" Ginny said loud enough for the people at the other tables could hear her.

Snickers and muffled laughter could be heard throughout the room. Alex looked down to her food suddenly not feeling hungry anymore. Justin rubbed her back and glared at Ginny.

"Ginny, stop it! You have no right to tease her about having nightmares. Especially not when you spent all summer having nightmares of your own!" Harry defended.

"That's not fair!" Ginny said. "My brother just died!"

"Yeah, and Alex just learned her birth father was murdered by a dark, evil, wizard! So stop making fun of her!"

"Harry, you're supposed to be on my side."

Harry shook her head. "When you treat others meanly I'm not going to support you. So either stop picking on Alex or I swear this relationship is over."

Ginny sent evil glares at Alex. Alex knew if looks could kill she'd be dead.

"So um…what is our first class?" Alex asked nervously.

"Filius Flitwick. He teaches Charms. That's just a fancy way to say spells." Harry told her.

Alex nodded. She was good at spells right? This would be cake!

Alex sat next to Justin, on one side of her, and Harry on the other in the Charms class. She did her best to listen and to learn, but she had to chuckle at watching her brother and Hermione scribble notes like mad men, trying to write down every word their teacher spoke.

"All right everyone, who can tell me the spell that is used to take away a person's memories?"

Hermione and Justin's hands shot up instantly. Alex smiled and giggled to herself.

"Ms. Russo, why don't you answer this one."

Alex frowned and froze in her seat. "Oh…um…the spell is um… Cerebellum Erasus."

Justin smiled proudly at his sister. That was going to be his answer but he was proud of Alex for getting it right.

"Wrong!"

Alex and Justin shared a look in shock, how could that be wrong?

"I've never even heard of that spell before! Did you make that up?"

"No, Sir, that's the spell I was taught." Alex answered fearfully.

"Who was your teacher he sounds like idiot."

Alex growled. Justin and Harry touched her leg to calm her down.

"What about you, Mr. Russo? Are you smarter than your sister?"

"Actually, Sir, I was going to give you the same answer. Alex and I come from New York and that's the spell we learned that takes away people's memories."

"Pity, all right Ms. Granger, please enlighten us."

"The spell you're looking for is Obliviate."

"Finally! Somebody gets it right. I was starting to think everyone in the class was just plain stupid."

Alex looked down at her lap. She had been wrong; this was the worst class ever! She couldn't wait for it to be over.

After class Ginny was at it again. She was laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

"That was the easiest question in the world and you got it wrong! He was just too night to say it but you are the only stupid one in that class!" Ginny shrieked out in laughter.

"Ginny, that's enough!" Harry said.

Alex just looked down to the floor. She felt tears filling her eyes but refused to let them fall.

"At least she attempted to answer. You didn't even raise your hand." Justin bit back. "You didn't know the right answer until Hermione answered it."

"No, I knew. But I also knew Hermione knew, she knew it best because she's used it on her parents and they still have no idea who she is."

"GINNY!" Ron yelled.

He knew that was still a sensitive topic for Hermione and he wasn't going to let his sister upset her.

Hermione looked to the ground too.

"Ginny, I'm tired of this! The way you've been treating everyone since Fred died is just not right. I get your angry and hurting but that doesn't give you the right to treat others this way! I can't take it anymore! Ginny it's over!" Harry said.

"But…but Harry!"

"No, maybe we can get back together when you start being nicer to people, until then we're over."

Harry looked to Justin and Alex. "Come on, I'll show you to your next class."

They both just nodded and followed him. Ron looked to his sister and glared and then to Hermione. "Come on, let's go to our next class." He said gently and soothingly.

Hermione just nodded and walked away leaving Ginny alone. She growled. "Alex Russo I swear you're going to pay big time for this. Like I've said before. Hogwarts has very strict punishment rules."

Justin, Harry, and Alex arrived at the next class. Alex sighed. "I'm in this one all alone."

"It's ok, it's just for an hour. Then we get lunch. So let's meet up in the Great Hall after class."

"What about Ginny?" Justin wondered. "I will not let her hurt Alex."

Harry shook his head. "She's mean but not dangerous. She won't physically hurt, Alex."

"Are you sure?"

Harry nodded.

"Ok." Justin kissed his sister on the cheek. "Come get me if you need me, at any time."

Alex nodded and hugged her brother.

She went into the classroom and found a seat in the middle and sat down.

"Please, take out a sheet of paper and copy the list of spells off this board." The Professor spoke. "We will go over them once everyone is done."

The door opened and Ginny walked inside and over to Alex sitting down next to her.

"Hey, I'm sorry about being so mean to you before. I'm just angry about losing my brother and I took it out on you. Can we be friends?"

"I can't trust you or forgive you yet, but I'll give you a chance."

Ginny smiled. "I understand, thank you."

Alex smiled and looked back to bored and continued to copy something onto her paper.

"Oh here, the teachers like us using pens." Ginny said handing her the special quill pen.

"Thanks, um, we're just supposed to copy what's on the board to our papers."

Ginny smiled and nodded and started to copy everything down.

Alex was in the middle of writing when she felt a sharp pinch on her hand. She didn't think anything of it. She just thought it was a hand cramp so she continued. When the pain didn't stop she thought she had too tight of a grip so she loosened it. But the pain continued. Sighing she stopped writing and laid her hand flat on the desk to give it a rest. It was then she noticed the entire top of her hand was covered in everything she had just written down on her paper on it wasn't in ink, it was engraved into her skin, so deep that it was bleeding. She let out a blood curling scream and shook her hand like it was on fire.

"Ms. Russo, is there a problem?" The professor asked.

"My hand!" Alex shrieked! "My hand!"

The Professor walked over and looked to Alex's hand and then to the quill on her paper.

"Ms. Russo where did you get this pen?"

"I didn't have a pen of my own so my friend Ginny gave it to me." Alex answered as her voice cracked.

Words were still appearing on her hand, ripping her skin in two.

The Professor looked to Ginny. "It would be one thing if this was Ms. Russo's pen, she is new here and doesn't know these types of pens are banned from the school. But you Ms. Wesley, you know better. I have no other choice but to assign you detention. After your last class you are to come back here."

Ginny groaned but nodded. She glared at Alex who just whimpered and held her hand close to her chest. Words were continuing to rip into her skin, causing Alex to feel a ton of pain.

"All right class, that's it for today. Everyone is dismissed. If you didn't finish your assignment that's ok. You will be able to tomorrow."

Alex grabbed her things and bolted out of the class room. She could here Ginny rushing after her. Suddenly she heard Ginny scream "Locomotor Mortis!"

Alex felt her knees lock and she fell to the floor. She quickly grabbed her wand but Ginny called out "Expelliarmus" and her want flew out of her hand. Alex tried to scramble away but her legs didn't work. Ginny walked over to her and glared.

"First you take my family, then you take Harry, and now you made me get detention? It's over Russo, this ends here."

"What are you going to do to me?" Alex whimpered.

"Like I said before, Hogwarts has a strict punishment policy."

Alex gulped and squeezed her eyes shut. Ginny smiled and pointed her wand at her. Then she spoke "Crucio."

Alex started to scream on top of her lungs as she felt like a million knifes were attacking her. Ginny just stood there was a satisfied smirk on her face.

Ron, Hermione, Harry and Justin were just coming out of their class when they heard a scream. They all raced toward the sound. They stopped and gasped when they saw Alex on the floor screaming in agonizing pain.

"Expelliarmus" Harry yelled, catching both Ginny and Alex's wand in his hand.

Alex laid on the floor panting hard and crying hysterically. Hermione and Ron went over to Ginny and grabbed her arms making sure she didn't run away. Harry and Justin rushed to Alex.

"Alex, Baby, are you all right?" Justin asked.

"Justin!" Alex whimpered.

"Shhh, I'm here, it's all right, shhh." He soothed.

He pulled her into his arms.

"Ow!" Alex cried out.

"What, Baby Sister, what hurts?"

"My hand."

Justin looked to her hand in shock. Harry growled and looked to Ginny. "You've turned into a monster, Ginny. I hope you get expelled!"

"Will she be ok?" Justin asked.

Harry nodded. "I've experienced everything Alex just did. It's painful but it's not life threatening."

"Justin, I hurt everywhere."

"I know. I promise I'll make it all better."

He kissed her forehead and glared at Ginny. She had taken things too far and now, Justin could only hope she got expelled. If not…well things were going to get really ugly.
