Lexi was sitting up in her bed just finishing the breakfast that Lily had prepared for her when there was a knock at the door.

"Aunt Lexi? Can I come in?" asked Christiana from outside the room.

"Of course dear," answered Lexi.

Christiana slowly opened the bedroom door and stepped inside.

"Have a seat," said Lexi gesturing to a small table next to a corner window that overlooked the Quidditch pitch.

Christiana sat down in the chair opposite the one Lexi took.

"Uncle Sirius said that there was something you wanted to talk to me about," said Christiana after a short silence.

Lexi sighed and smiled at her niece. She had been wondering where to begin. The topic she was about to bring up was a delicate one and she couldn't afford to go about it the wrong way.

"Christiana," Lexi said finally, "I am an enchantress."

"What?" said Christiana disbelievingly.

"It's true Chrissy," said Lexi quietly.

"That is SO cool," said Christiana excitedly.

Lexi looked up at her niece. This was not the reaction she had expected nor was it what she was hoping for. Christiana was going on about how great it would be to play pranks on the rest of the family with their skills but Lexi wasn't really listening.

"Aunt Lexi, what's wrong?" asked Christiana realizing that her aunt wasn't as thrilled as she was. "I thought you liked playing pranks. Uncle Sirius told us all about the things you used to do to the Slytherins in school."

"That's not it Christiana," said Lexi a little more harshly than she had intended to.

Christiana looked extremely put down at her aunt's tone, but it seemed as if Lexi didn't notice.

"Do you have any idea what being and enchantress could mean?" said Lexi glaring at her niece. "It's not something to be taken lightly."

Lexi sighed finally seeing the upset look on her niece's face.

"Christiana what do you know about enchantresses?" Lexi asked quietly.

"I know that they develop skills earlier than other wizards and witches and that they're capable of performing certain spells without having to say them out loud," answered Christiana.

"Well that's a start then," said Lexi. "You see Chrissy not a lot is known about Enchantresses. They aren't very common any more. In fact I was the first one this century."

Lexi stood up and faced the window.

"Enchantresses were always looked upon as evil centuries ago. They were different from others which sparked fear in the hearts of wizards. Eventually they died out due to persecution," Lexi sighed and then continued. "For years and years there wasn't even a trace of them. Wizards began to regard them as myths that had never really existed in the first place. Books that had any information on them had been destroyed during the persecutions so eventually they faded from people's minds. They faded out of existence."

"When I was young I exhibited extraordinary powers for my age but everyone just thought that I was gifted. There was no reason to believe that I was an Enchantress. As I got older I realized how different I really was from everyone else. No other 11 year old child had the capabilities to transform into an animal or to become invisible at will. It was unheard of. But I could do these things without a problem."

Lexi stopped and looked a Christiana who was listening intently to the story.

"It wasn't until I was 16 that I realized the magnitude of the situation. That was when I discovered what I was and how much of a danger I was to myself and to others."

" Christiana this is a gift, being an Enchantress, but if it is not taken seriously it can destroy your life."

"Aunt Lexi what are you talking about? I don't understand," said Christiana.

"You wouldn't," said Lexi sadly. "I realize that this is a lot to take in at once but please promise me this. You must be careful. Going around shouting that you are an Enchantress is not a wise decision for they are still feared by many."

"Okay," said Christiana.

Lexi smiled at her niece.

"I think that there are some people waiting for you downstairs in the den?" Lexi asked raising her eyebrow.

Christiana smiled, "All the kids were talking about playing some muggle board game and with Harry and Griffin in charge they'll need a referee."

As Christiana closed the door behind her Lexi's smile fell. No matter what she said her niece would not understand the dangers that being an Enchantress came with. She had told her it was a gift, but the way Lexi saw it, it was nothing but a curse.
