The next morning, Hermione woke up on the couch. She groaned and looked around. Harry was nowhere to be seen. Nothing had happened the night before, but she didn't remember him leaving. She sat up on the couch, and swung her legs over the side.
She jumped when she heard dishes crash in the kitchen. Tiptoeing towards the door to the kitchen and poked her head around the corner.
She grabbed the wall as she almost tripped on her oversized pajama pants. As she gripped the wall, her hand slid on her sweatshirt and she slipped on the carpet. Falling forward through the doorway on to the tile floor, she saw two men staring strangely at her. She recognized one as Harry and the other one, she was sure was from Lexi's school.
She winced at the pain in her leg, which she had fallen on as she got up and tiptoed back out of the kitchen. Harry raised an eyebrow and turned back to the boy.
"Now, what did you say your name was again?" He asked. Hermione sat outside of the doorway listening into the conversation. She never really could resist a good eavesdrop.
"James Soltis, Mr. Potter sir. Except all my friends call me Jamie" He said fidgeting. Harry looked down at the boy.
"And what exactly do you need to see Lexi for?"
::Flashback::
Harry's eyes flew open as he heard a crash right in front of him. He looked over to see Hermione lying in his arms. Quietly getting up as to not to wake her, he stood up right in front of the fireplace.
At his feet was a boy struggling to get to his balance. He had bleach blonde hair and a firm figure. His blue eyes contrasted strangely with his pale skin. The boy reminded Harry of Draco Malfoy in a scary way. He stood up and was about to walk forward but bumped right into a solid figure. He looked up slowly to see the face of Harry Potter starring at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh, hi?" He said uncertainly.
"Who are you?" Harry asked the boy. He tried to get past but Harry stepped in front of him.
"Im a...friend of Lexi's" He replied shortly. He stepped to the side to try to get past but Harry slid in front of him again.
"Is she expecting you?" he asked him. He was not going to let this guys past, even though he was only about 13. He quickly turned around to see if Hermione was still fast asleep.
"No, I wanted to surprise her." He said crossly. The boy glared at him. Harry groaned and ran his hand through his hair. As he did this, he briefly showed off his scar. The boy's eyes widened.
"Oh Merlin. Harry Potter I am so sorry. I didn't know it was you." He stepped back a bit and bit his lip.
Harry tried not to laugh.
::End Flashback::
"Like I told you before sir. I wanted to surprise Lexi."
Hermione was still sitting outside the door. She wanted to laugh so hard. She had known Jamie for a while. Lexi had gone to school with him since first year at her school. It had always bothered Hermione that she didn't go to Hogwarts, but she had decided to think about sending her next year.
"Well, Lexi is still sleeping and I do not permit you to see her till she is totally awake and has her wits about her." Harry said, straitening up. It was so easy to tell that he was trying to be a good father, whether he knew if Lexi knew or not.
Jamie glared at Harry and drew in a deep breath.
"Who are you to 'permit' me to see Lexi?" He cried. "How do you even know her?" He asked harshly.
Hermione bit her lip and started to worry. She would might even have to break up a fight of Harry was stupid enough to fight a thirteen year old.
"In ways you might never know" He said coldly.
"Well if I don't know how can I see you as an authority?" Jamie yelled. His ice blue eyes flared.
"Im Harry Potter for Merlin's sake!" Harry yelled. He never really used that excuse, but that was all he could come up with without telling him the truth.

Lexi sat up quietly as she saw Caprice leaning down over the vent. She held in her laughter and Caprice gasped.
"What is it?" She asked. Caprice jumped.
"Jamie! He is downstairs and fighting with Harry Potter!" She cried. This was all too exciting for her. Lexi looked questioningly at her and then her eyes widened.
"Jamie? Really?" She asked excited. Hopping out of bed, she ran in front of the mirror to smooth down her hair. She ran her tongue over her teeth and checked her breath as she ran out of the room. With Caprice at her heels, they both slipped and slid on the carpet. They both jumped down steps two at a time. Caprice's very long red hair flew out behind her as she tried to catch up with Lexi.
Hermione jumped up as she saw the two running down the stairs. Lexi didn't even notice her as she ran for the kitchen.
"Jamie!" She cried before she even got to the doorway. She slipped around on the tiled floor in her baby turtle socks as she ran up to the pair of guys. Jumping into Jamie's arms, Harry looked livid. Jamie laughed as he picked Lexi up and spun her around. They both hugged each other tightly as Caprice and Hermione walked slowly into the kitchen with a sheepish look on each of their faces.
Harry walked stiffly over to Hermione.
"Do you think you could explain this for me?" He said through gritted teeth. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Har, you always did overreact. Its just one of her friends! Ok, well, a little more than a friend, but still! Calm down!" She said quietly as she looked at the two. She laughed as she saw all three of them do their 'happy dance'. It always seemed that whenever something good happened, they always had a happy dance.
Lexi was doing the twist as Caprice did some sort of Egyptian hand movement. Jamie had his right hand behind his head and his left had around his left ankle. He kept lifting his leg up to his chest and putting his head down (A/N: I know you know what I'm talking about).
Harry opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself. This was the weirdest thing he had ever seen a bunch of kids do. Well, minus the time Fred and George made Crabbe and Goyle to the Electric Slide in the Great Hall in front of everyone...
