The Other Chosen One
Chapter 5
APOV
The last 2 weeks of the term brought the snow. And another trip to Hogsmead. Harry and I were sat in the common room when Fred and George grabbed us and pulled us out of the room. They dragged us into an empty hallway, Harry and I protesting the whole way.
"What the Hell guys?" Harry exclaimed as they let us go, looking around to see if anyone was there.
"We have something for you two." Fred said, taking an old piece of parchment out of his pocket. I glanced at it, having a feeling I knew what it was.
"What is it?" I asked, crossing my arms. I needed to figure out if it was what I thought it was.
"That, Dear Alexis, is the secret of our success." George said, making me narrow my eyes.
"Call me Dear again and I swear to God, you will never be able to have children." I snapped, making him move his hands to cover his crotch.
"Point taken." He muttered, taking a small step back. "Anyway, your needs are greater than our, and we don't really need it anymore."
"What are we supposed to do with an old piece of parchment?" Harry asked, making the twins smile.
"An old piece of parchment!" Fred exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air. "Well, when we were innocent first years…" He started, making me laugh.
"You two, innocent?" I asked with a laugh.
"Well, more innocent then we are now." George continued. "Anyway, we got into a spot of bother with Filch,"
"And he dragged us into his office, threatening us with the usual. Detention, disembowelment," Fred said.
"And we couldn't help but notice a cupboard labelled 'Confiscated, highly dangerous.'" George continued.
"So you opened it and took that parchment. Get to the point." I said, getting impatient.
"Patience, dear Alexis." Fred said, making me raise my eyebrows. He realised what he said and moved his hands to cover his crotch, like his brother had done earlier. "Sorry. Won't happen again."
"What does it do?" Harry asked, smiling at their reactions.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." They said together, tapping the parchment with their wands. Ink started to spread out from the point that their wands touched, to form picture and words.
"Messers Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, are proud to present the Marauder's map." Harry read. I knew it! This is the map that Uncle Remmy told me about.
"This shows everyone in Hogwarts, where they are, and what they are doing." Fred said, opening the map and showing us.
"It also shows you all of the secret passages in and out of Hogwarts. This one, leads straight into Honeydukes Sweet Shop in Hogsmead." George said, pointing out the passage.
"When you're finished, just tap it and say 'mischief managed'" Fred said.
"Otherwise anyone can read it." They finished together.
"You do know that it is really creepy when you do that, right?" I asked, making them smile.
"Yep." They said, before walking away.
"What do you think?" Harry asked, looking at me.
"Let's go!" I said with a smile.

After what felt like hours, but was probably only minutes, Harry and I clambered through the trap door in Honeyduke's cellar. We threw Harry's invisibility cloak over our heads and quietly manoeuvred our way up the stairs and through the shop. I stole Nevil's lollipop on the way out, much to Harry's amusement. We found Ron and Hermione near the Shrieking Shack and were about to go over to them, when we saw Malfoy and his cronies walk over to them.
"Let's have a little fun." I said, smiling to Harry under the cloak.
"What do you have in mind?" He asked, smirking as well.
"I know the disillusionist charm. I'll make myself invisible and go to the other side of the clearing and we bombard them with snow balls." I said, already grabbing my wand from my Ugg boots.
"Deal. What about going and messing with them a bit more. I think they need a little scare." He said, making my smile widen.
"I think I'm spending too much time with you." I said, making him laugh. "Count to 10 and start the attack." I said, casting the charm and running to the other side of the clearing.

I counted to 10, unable to keep the smirk off my face. I started throwing snowballs at the 3 Slytherins, at the same time that snowballs started flying from the other side of the clearing. After throwing a few snowballs, I noticed Malfoy's trousers being pulled down. I followed Lexi's lead and grabbed Goyle, knocking him over and dragging him towards the Shrieking Shack by his feet, making him scream like a little girl. Lexi was spinning Crabbe around by his scarf and I saw Malfoy trying to pull his trousers back up, making me let go of Goyle so I could kick Malfoy from behind, making him fall on his face in the snow.
"Let's get out of here." He yelled as the 3 of them got up and ran over the kill and out of sight.
Hermione and Ron were laughing their heads off when I saw Hermione's hair being pulled up. I grabbed the tassels on Ron's hat and tied them in front of him.
"Harry! Lexi!" Hermione laughed as I moved my cloak and Lexi lifted the charm. We were both laughing as well. I looked at Lexi and noticed that her hair was snow white and her eyes were green. "What's with the look Lexi?" Hermione asked, also noticing her hair.
"Got to be disguised, haven't I? Since I'm not supposed to be here." She laughed.
We wondered back to the main road and I saw professor McGonagall, Flitwick, Hagrid and the minister of magic walk into the 3 broomsticks. Before anyone could say anything, I covered Lexi and I with the cloak and we followed them inside. They went up to a private room with Madam Rosmerta and started talking about the Dementors. They soon started to talk about Sirius Black.
"You remember who his best friend was?" McGonagall asked.
"Of course! Sirius Black and James Potter were practically joint at the hip!" Rosmerta said, making Lexi and I share a look.
"Precisely. They were the ring leaders of their little gang." McGonagall said.
"Nothing changed when they left school either." Fudge said. "Black was the best man at Lily and James' wedding, and James was the best man at Black's wedding." I frowned. I didn't know that Black was married.
"Didn't he have a daughter?" Rosmerta asked. I felt Lexi stiffen and my frown deepen.
"Yes. Not many know about her, and only Dumbledore and Remus know who she is." McGonagall said. "They didn't know who they could trust.
"The Potter's went into hiding under the fidellius charm." Fudge said. "Naturally, Black was their secret keeper. They told Dumbledore, since he was the only one they could trust outside of their little group. Barley a week later, they were killed. Black betrayed them before killing Peter Pettigrew and 13 other muggles!"
"I gave Alexis to him." Hagrid said, making everyone in the room turn to him. "Alexis and her mother were there that night. Evelyn was killed alongside Lilly, but Alexis had a scar like Harry's. Sirius turned up on his bike, gave it to me so that I could take Harry to his Aunt's, but took Alexis with him. I think he gave her to her Godfather."
"If he wanted to kill her, why would he take her to safety?" Rosmerta asked.
"So that he had something to plea in his defence." Fudge said. "During the trial, all he said was 'why would I take her to safety if I wanted her dead?' No one fell for it. He was always a rotten liar."
"What about Pettigrew?" Rosmerta asked.
"Peter Pettigrew, a little lump of a boy. He followed James and Sirius around like a puppy." McGonagall said.
"Pettigrew cornered Black. Muggles him confronting Black about James and Lilly's death, accusing him of killing them. He reached for his wand, but Black was quicker, blew him to smithereens. All that was left, was a finger." Fudge said, holding his finger up for emphasis.
"What neither Harry, nor Alexis know, is that Sirius Black was, and is, Harry Potter's Godfather." McGonagall said.
My mouth opened in shock and Lexi looked at me with wide eyes. She grabbed me and pulled me out of the room before dragging me back into the snow. We went back to the Shrieking Shack, sitting down on a rock with my head on Lexi's shoulder.
"Harry? Lexi?" Hermione asked as she pulled the cloak off of us. I snapped at her, shouting who Black was to me.
"I'm going to find him." I said. "I am going to find him, and I am going to kill him." I saw Lexi bite her lip, but ignored it. I was too angry to think of anything except finding Black.
Here you go guys. I realised that I put the wrong chapter up for the previous chapter, but that is sorted now.
Thanks for reading
