I don't own Harry Potter or its characters.
For the next few weeks, Alex gotten use to being a girl, and with the help of her friends Laura and Tina, Alex started to ware makeup, dresses, and many other things girls do, even though it took sometime to get use to some of the things, Alex started to like her new image, and everyone was glad, that Alex had fully accepted it.
Also during Alex training, she was glad, that her hair stayed red and her eyes stayed green, since she was a fire elemental, and was glad, to look like her mother.
On Alex's birthday, a huge party was thrown for her in the great hall, like all parties before, all the students and professors was there, to make a big deal of it, making Alex's birthday the best she ever had, but unfortunately, even though she had a great time, a few had notice that Alex was sad, even if she looked happy during the entire party, they knew, Alex was not taking something well.
Soon after the party was over, Crystal called Alex to her office.
" Alex, tell me what's wrong, since I can feel something is troubling you," Crystal asked pleasantly, as they sat down.
" It is just I miss my old friends, and the birthday, reminded me of them, and now since they think I'm dead, and I can't see them, for everyone's safety," Alex sadly said, while looking down.
For awhile no one spoke, as Crystal looked lost in thought, at what Alex had said, then making a decision, since she didn't like Alex feeling this way.
" Alex, I know it is hard to have friends, and not able to see them, and since it is your birthday, I'm allowing you to go to see them tomorrow, but under two conditions," once Crystal said that, Alex brighten.
" First off, they must never know who you really are, and second, you must return before dinner, and if this works out, I will allow more visits on weekends, alright?" Crystal said smiling, since she knew, Alex was now feeling better.
" Deal, I promise they wont know whom I am, so when can I leave. Tomorrow?" Alex asked, sounding happier then she ever was.
" Well, meet me here in my office, after breakfast, and I will see if they are home, only then you can go," Crystal said, as Alex smiled.
Alex could only choke out "Thank you professor," as Crystal dismiss her, and was glad, that she could make Alex's happy.
The next morning, Alex dress to look like she was going for a jog, since she knew, she had to make it look like she had jog to the Borrow, then went to breakfast, to meet up with her new friends.
" Alex, I hope you have a great time," Tina said, as Alex came to them.
"Yeah, have fun," Laura said, since they both knew where Alex was going.
"I'll try, since it wont be easy to be around them and not telling who I am," Alex said.
"You be fine, just be yourself," Tina suggested.
"I'll try, but please can we talk about other things, I don't want to think about the visit till I get there," Alex said, and they went ahead to talk about their projects for their classes.
As soon as breakfast was over, Alex was again seated in Crystal's office.
"Now Alex, please picture the Borrow in your mind, and I should be able to get it location, and once I do, I can send out my senses, to feel out the actual Burrow, and check to see who is there," Crystal said, getting ready.
"Do you think I can do this, since I am a mind elemental?" Alex asked hopefully.
"Maybe, but it is not easy to try to send your senses to great distances, and you need a lot of practice, but it does come in handy, so let begin. Alright?" Crystal suggested, and Alex closed her eyes, and picturing the Borrow.
It took a while, till Crystal said something.
" I got the Burrow, look like most of the family is there, and they got a guest," Crystal said, snapping out of her trance, she was in.
" Thanks, can I go now?" Alex asked, looking anxious to see her friends.
" Yes of course, but remember our deal." Crystal warned, as Alex nodded, then in a second was gone.
Once Alex appeared, she was in the woods, on a well use path to the Burrow.
" Wow, it works!" Alex thought, seeing the Borrow in the distance, then she saw several specks in the sky.
"There is Ron, and the twins, I don't think they have fully accepted my 'death'," Alex thought, since she sense sadness in them, then sensing someone else, she spied, a girl reading a book under a tree.
" Hermione, I guess I should start with her," Alex, thought, and jogged onto the property.
Once Alex reached the tree, she spoke, getting Hermione's attention.
" Hi there," Alex said coming up to Hermione.
" Hi, where did you come from?" Hermione asked, looking at Alex.
" Just from town, I'm visiting a cousin, and I thought I'd go for a morning run, do you mind if I rest here, it was tiring trip," Alex asked hopefully.
" Ah, I'm not sure, we should asked the Weasleys, since this is their property," Hermione suggested, and got up.
" Interesting book, I read it myself," Alex said, spying the book.
" You are a witch," Hermione asked, looking unsure.
" I am, so don't need to worry about me seeing magic," Alex said, smiling at Hermione's relief.
As the girls started to the house, " Oh before I forget, my name is Alexandra Evans, or just call me Alex, and you are?" Alex asked pleasantly.
" My name is Hermione Granger, you don't go to Hogwarts do you?" Hermione asked.
" No, I go to a special orphan's school in London, that is unfortunately year round, I was lucky that I was allowed to visit my cousin in town," Alex said, while thinking of a story to tell.
" So you are a orphan?" Hermione asked.
" Yes, but only recently, when my aunt and uncle was killed, by you know who followers," Alex said, trying not to give out a lot of information.
" But if you have cousins here, why don't you live with them?" Hermione asked.
" The reason, that my aunt and uncle have no room for me, so I had to be place in a orphanage," Alex said, quickly covering up her story.
" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have barge into your life," Hermione said, looking sorry.
" It's alright, I like the school, and I have several great friends," she stopped talking, as they enter the Borrow.
Once in the Burrow girls found Molly Weasley in the kitchen preparing lunch.
" Mrs. Weasley, we have a guest," Hermione said, getting Molly attention.
" Hello dear," Molly said, looking Alex over.
" Hi, my name is Alexandra Evans, or just call me Alex, and I am a witch," Alex said pleasantly.
" Nice to meet you, I'm Mrs. Weasley. Are you new in town?" Molly asked, and Alex went into what she told Hermione.
Once Alex was done, Molly accepted Alex, and quickly got Alex settle down.
" Alex, you remind me of my friend's mother Lilly Potter, do you think you related to her?" Hermione asked, looking her over.
" I don't know, why do you think I might be related to Harry Potter?" as Alex said that Hermione eyes watered.
" Hermione it will be alright," Molly said, soothing the girl.
" Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought him up," Alex said, trying to help calm Hermione.
" It's alright Alex, it just hard to believe Harry is gone," Hermione said, as she wipe tears from her eyes, then to change the subject, they went into school, and found that they had a lot in common.
A little before lunch, Ron, Fred and George arrive, and to Alex embarrassment, the twins was trying to hit on her.
" My who is this fine young lady?" George asked, smiling at Alex.
" Do you have a boyfriend yet?" Fred asked, putting the charms on her.
" Ah no, I don't," Alex started, but Molly quickly intervene.
" Enough you two, leave Alex alone, and why not get ready for lunch," Molly scolded the boys, then turn to Alex.
" You are invited to stay for lunch, if you don't need to be anywhere," Molly asked pleasantly.
" Actually I don't have to be back before dinner at seven," Alex said glad to be able to stay all day.
Once plans was underway for lunch, Molly excuse herself, while Alex, talked with the others.
In the parlor, Molly quickly place some anti-listening wards, about, before throwing some powder into the fireplace.
" Professor Dumbledore," she called into the flames, and soon his head appeared.
" Molly, what can I do for you?" Dumbledore asked pleasantly
" Professor, you asked me to call you if any strangers appear, and I have a girl name Alex, who look like Lily Potter here right now," Molly informed, as Dumbledore eyes grew big.
" Did you say she resembles Lily, like a twin?" Dumbledore asked, looking surprised.
" Yes exactly, but this one is probably around fifteen," Molly said, wondering why Dumbledore was sounding excited over this.
" Molly, no matter what happens, I need you to keep her there, till I arrive in a few minutes, so keep her busy," Dumbledore said, before his head vanished, as Molly looked puzzled.
" That's strange, why is Dumbledore getting worked up over this?" Molly thought, then went into the kitchen.
At the same time, as Molly arrived in the kitchen, Alex looked to Molly, and knew something was happening, and she had to leave now.
" Sorry Hermione, I just remembered something I have to do now," Alex said quickly getting up.
" Alex what's wrong, please stay," Molly asked, trying to keep her here.
As Alex turn, she stopped, when she saw someone blocking the doorway.
" Professor Crystal, what are you doing here?" Alex said, surprise at her appearance.
" Alex please stay, we got some explaining to do to your friends, and good evening headmaster Dumbledore," Crystal said, looking behind Alex.
" Good to see you again Headmistress Crystal, I'm glad that young Alex is now in good hands," Dumbledore said pleasantly, and everyone was seated.
Once seated, Alex was quiet, with her head down, while Dumbledore looked her over.
" Now Alex, tell me the truth, what is your real name?" Dumbledore pleasantly asked.
" My name is Alexandra Potter, daughter of Lilly and James Potter," Alex said, worriedly as she looked to her friends.
" It can't be, the Potters did not have any other children other then Harry Potter, I should know, since I read everything about them," Hermione said, as the others confirm this.
" Actually they only had one child, Hermione, and that child is Alexandra," Dumbledore confirmed, as everyone's jaw drop.
As the stunned group, except for Crystal and Alex, regain their senses, "Professor you telling us, that Alex Potter is actually Harry Potter?" Ron sounded shocked, and angry.
" Ron, Alexandra didn't even know she was a girl, since I myself, transfigured her into a boy," Dumbledore said, then went into what happen fifteen years ago.
Once Dumbledore was done, Alex, then Crystal went into what had happen the night, Alex was attacked and when they was done.
" But professor Dumbledore, you said you had confirmed Harry's death?" Molly asked, looking unsure.
" I did, since I based it on the life crystal I created to monitor Harry's health," Dumbledore started.
" What I didn't know, when I transfigured Alex into Harry, I had changed her life signs, and since the crystal was based on Harry's, the crystal went black when he was again transfigured back to Alexandra," Dumbledore explained.
Ron was about to asked something, but Hermione quickly stopped him.
" I'll try to explain this to you later," Hermione said, as everyone went quiet.
Once everyone got a say, it was Hermione who asked the next question.
" What now, what will happen to Harry, no, I mean Alex?" Hermione asked, looking at Alex.
" Well it will be up to Alex, since she already almost master her new abilities, and just need a few more things to train in," Crystal said, then looking at Alex.
" Alex, you can continue going to my school, or if you like, can go back to Hogwarts, during the next school year, and come back to my school, during the holidays and summer till you're of age," Crystal suggested.
" Can I really go back to Hogwarts?" Alex asked, sounding excited at the idea.
" Yes you may, but only as Alexandra Evans," Crystal suggested.
" It's a deal!" Alex said, looking very happy.
" Professor Crystal, we can use a transfer program, to allow orphans to attend an actual school, to cover why Alex is attending late," Dumbledore suggested.
" Yes that will do, and Alex," Crystal said, turning to her, " You may stay the night, but come back before dinner tomorrow, no later. Alright?" Crystal said.
" I will," Alex said.
" Then I will see you later, and so long professor Dumbledore, it was nice seeing you again," Crystal said, as she got up and was gone.
Once Crystal was gone, Alex turn to Dumbledore.
" Ah professor, are you going to let everyone know about me?" Alex asked worriedly.
" Actually no, the less people know, the better, but I think, we should tell two certain canines, what do you think?" Dumbledore suggested, with a wink.
Hearing this, Alex blush, since she knew who they were, Sirius her godfather, and Remus Lupin, her former DADA professor.
" Can you invite them here? I want to tell them myself," Alex asked hopefully.
" It will be done, they might arrive tomorrow around lunch, if they don't have anything to do, and I should be going, to get the transfer papers sign for you to come to my school," Dumbledore started, as he got up.
" And I'm glad to see you well Mrs. Potter," Dumbledore said, then apparated.
Once Dumbledore was gone, Alex turn to the twins, whom look grief stricken.
" What?" Alex asked smiling, since she knew why.
" We don't believe we tried to get a date with Harry Potter," both said, looking disgusted.
" Actually you didn't, since I am Alexandra Potter, but if you like me this way," as Alex said that, she shape-shifted to Harry Potter.
" No please return to look like Alex, you want us to loose our lunch," they both said as Alex laughed, while returning to a girl.
Once the twins was done talking.
" Alex, how did you do that?" Hermione asked.
" It is one of two things, I learn to do at the school I'm now attending," then with a smile, she turn to an exact copy of Hermione.
" Wow, you can be anyone?" Hermione asked, as Alex turn into Ron.
" Yes, anyone, or any animal," with that said, Alex turn into her favorite, a red and gold phoenix.
" Wow, you are a animagus," Ron asked, looking surprised.
" Actually I'm not, I am a shape-shifter, which mean I can turn into anything I want," Alex said, once she return to normal, then took requests to shape-shift into anything to entertain her friends.
After lunch, Alex was enjoying being with her friends, when she thought of something.
" Mrs. Weasley, where am I going to sleep, since I don't think Ron's room is now appropriate," Alex asked.
" Hmm, you can use Percy's room, since he did move out, when he got a job, and got an apartment," Molly said after a thought.
" Then I better leave now, to get a change of clothes from my room at the school," Alex said getting up.
" Alex, how are you getting there?" Hermione asked.
" Well, like this," Alex said, then teleported.
Once Alex was gone.
" Did she just apparate?" Ron asked surprised.
" No, that wasn't apparition, since there was no noise, when she disappeared," Hermione said.
" You guys can asked her, when she gets back, why not head out, and enjoy the day," Molly suggested, and the children all headed outdoors.
In half an hour, Alex return to a not so happy Molly.
" Alex Potter, do you know it is illegal to apparate without a license?" Molly sternly asked.
" But I didn't apparate, I teleported, which is not in the laws, since it doesn't need a spell to cast," Alex said defensively.
" Oh Alex I sorry, I should have known it was not apparition," Molly said, and to make it up, she help Alex get settled in her room.
The day pass, and during lunch the next day, Alex looked to the door, while sitting with Ron and Hermione.
" Great Sirius and Remus are here," Alex said, looking worried.
" Don't worry Alex, he will understand," Hermione said, as the door opened.
In the doorway was a man, and a large black dog, both Ron and Hermione, quickly got up to them to greet them, as Alex stayed seated, since they didn't know about her yet.
" Ron, Hermione, glad to see you both," Remus said gladly greeting them, then spied Alex.
" What in the-" Remus said, then using his werewolf sense of smell, his eye watered.
" But how, you are Harry Potter?" he said, looking unsure.
Remus dog, also had pick up the scent, quickly went up to Alex and whined.
" Snuffles, it's me, I'm alive," Alex said as the dog, turn into a man and gave her a bone shattering hug.
For a while no one spoke till.
" Sirius, she needs to breath sooner or later," Remus joked, but as Sirius let a blushing Alex go, Remus quickly hug her.
" Harry Potter, you have some explaining to do," Sirius said, as Remus let her go.
" Everything will be explained in due time," a new voice sounded, and everyone turn to Dumbledore.
" Professor, why is Harry a girl, and not only that why does she look like Lily?" Sirius asked, not looking away from Alex.
" Everyone, please be seated, and well begin to tell you everything," Dumbledore suggested, and everyone sat down.
In a hour, both Dumbledore and Alex explain everything, while Sirius and Remus sat closely to her.
" Professor, you should have told me, since I'm her godfather," Sirius said, not so nicely.
" I'm sorry Sirius, but both James, and I had decided it was best to keep her identity hidden, as long as possible, we actually didn't think we was going to keep her a boy for this long, I'm sorry for not telling you," Dumbledore said, apologizing.
" It's alright, I forgive you both," Sirius said, looking to Dumbledore.
" So what now, is Alex, going to stay at the orphan's school, or go back to Hogwarts," Remus asked.
" Actually both, she will continue till the end of summer, and come back to Hogwarts for sixth and seventh years, but will be going back to the other school, for the holidays, and the summers, till she is of age" Dumbledore said.
" Well I guess it is better then the Dursleys, eh?" Sirius said, squeezing Alex in a hug.
" Actually, I like it there, and there is so many things to do," Alex said, looking at Sirius.
" Well I should be going, see you the following weekend Alex, and see the rest of you later," Dumbledore said to the others and apparated.
Once Dumbledore was gone.
" Alex I hope you didn't start dating yet," Sirius asked, as Alex blushed.
" I didn't, I'm still getting use to the fact I am a girl," Alex said.
" Ah Sirius, look like you got your work cut out, since I bet you didn't care about Harry dating, but Alex..." Remus joked.
" Oh no, you are right," Sirius looked horrify at the idea.
" Alex, I forbid you to date, or have a boyfriend till you are forty!" Sirius said, all meanly.
" Sirius," Alex pouted, " you can't do that, and plus I don't know when I'll be ready to have one yet?" Alex said, as her friends was laughing at them.
After a few more rounds of, trying to stop Alex from getting a boyfriend, Sirius asked about the school, which Alex was more then happy to tell, to stop her godfather from ruin her life, and started talking about classes, things to do there.
Talk continued till almost seven, and when Alex saw the time, " I'm sorry guys, I got to go," Alex said, getting up.
" Then well see you next weekend," Sirius said, as he hug her, as did Remus.
" Now be a good witch, and stay out of trouble," Remus warned.
" Actually, I never got into any trouble, since going to the school," Alex said, as she gathered her backpack, filled with her clothes, then with a finale farewell to her friends, Alex was gone.
For the next few weeks, Alex gotten use to being a girl, and with the help of her friends Laura and Tina, Alex started to ware makeup, dresses, and many other things girls do, even though it took sometime to get use to some of the things, Alex started to like her new image, and everyone was glad, that Alex had fully accepted it.
Also during Alex training, she was glad, that her hair stayed red and her eyes stayed green, since she was a fire elemental, and was glad, to look like her mother.
On Alex's birthday, a huge party was thrown for her in the great hall, like all parties before, all the students and professors was there, to make a big deal of it, making Alex's birthday the best she ever had, but unfortunately, even though she had a great time, a few had notice that Alex was sad, even if she looked happy during the entire party, they knew, Alex was not taking something well.
Soon after the party was over, Crystal called Alex to her office.
" Alex, tell me what's wrong, since I can feel something is troubling you," Crystal asked pleasantly, as they sat down.
" It is just I miss my old friends, and the birthday, reminded me of them, and now since they think I'm dead, and I can't see them, for everyone's safety," Alex sadly said, while looking down.
For awhile no one spoke, as Crystal looked lost in thought, at what Alex had said, then making a decision, since she didn't like Alex feeling this way.
" Alex, I know it is hard to have friends, and not able to see them, and since it is your birthday, I'm allowing you to go to see them tomorrow, but under two conditions," once Crystal said that, Alex brighten.
" First off, they must never know who you really are, and second, you must return before dinner, and if this works out, I will allow more visits on weekends, alright?" Crystal said smiling, since she knew, Alex was now feeling better.
" Deal, I promise they wont know whom I am, so when can I leave. Tomorrow?" Alex asked, sounding happier then she ever was.
" Well, meet me here in my office, after breakfast, and I will see if they are home, only then you can go," Crystal said, as Alex smiled.
Alex could only choke out "Thank you professor," as Crystal dismiss her, and was glad, that she could make Alex's happy.
The next morning, Alex dress to look like she was going for a jog, since she knew, she had to make it look like she had jog to the Borrow, then went to breakfast, to meet up with her new friends.
" Alex, I hope you have a great time," Tina said, as Alex came to them.
"Yeah, have fun," Laura said, since they both knew where Alex was going.
"I'll try, since it wont be easy to be around them and not telling who I am," Alex said.
"You be fine, just be yourself," Tina suggested.
"I'll try, but please can we talk about other things, I don't want to think about the visit till I get there," Alex said, and they went ahead to talk about their projects for their classes.
As soon as breakfast was over, Alex was again seated in Crystal's office.
"Now Alex, please picture the Borrow in your mind, and I should be able to get it location, and once I do, I can send out my senses, to feel out the actual Burrow, and check to see who is there," Crystal said, getting ready.
"Do you think I can do this, since I am a mind elemental?" Alex asked hopefully.
"Maybe, but it is not easy to try to send your senses to great distances, and you need a lot of practice, but it does come in handy, so let begin. Alright?" Crystal suggested, and Alex closed her eyes, and picturing the Borrow.
It took a while, till Crystal said something.
" I got the Burrow, look like most of the family is there, and they got a guest," Crystal said, snapping out of her trance, she was in.

"There is Ron, and the twins, I don't think they have fully accepted my 'death'," Alex thought, since she sense sadness in them, then sensing someone else, she spied, a girl reading a book under a tree.
" Hermione, I guess I should start with her," Alex, thought, and jogged onto the property.
Once Alex reached the tree, she spoke, getting Hermione's attention.
" Hi there," Alex said coming up to Hermione.
" Hi, where did you come from?" Hermione asked, looking at Alex.
" Just from town, I'm visiting a cousin, and I thought I'd go for a morning run, do you mind if I rest here, it was tiring trip," Alex asked hopefully.
" Ah, I'm not sure, we should asked the Weasleys, since this is their property," Hermione suggested, and got up.
" Interesting book, I read it myself," Alex said, spying the book.
" You are a witch," Hermione asked, looking unsure.

" No, I go to a special orphan's school in London, that is unfortunately year round, I was lucky that I was allowed to visit my cousin in town," Alex said, while thinking of a story to tell.
" So you are a orphan?" Hermione asked.
" Yes, but only recently, when my aunt and uncle was killed, by you know who followers," Alex said, trying not to give out a lot of information.
" But if you have cousins here, why don't you live with them?" Hermione asked.
" The reason, that my aunt and uncle have no room for me, so I had to be place in a orphanage," Alex said, quickly covering up her story.
" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have barge into your life," Hermione said, looking sorry.
" It's alright, I like the school, and I have several great friends," she stopped talking, as they enter the Borrow.
Once in the Burrow girls found Molly Weasley in the kitchen preparing lunch.
" Mrs. Weasley, we have a guest," Hermione said, getting Molly attention.
" Hello dear," Molly said, looking Alex over.
" Hi, my name is Alexandra Evans, or just call me Alex, and I am a witch," Alex said pleasantly.
" Nice to meet you, I'm Mrs. Weasley. Are you new in town?" Molly asked, and Alex went into what she told Hermione.
Once Alex was done, Molly accepted Alex, and quickly got Alex settle down.
" Alex, you remind me of my friend's mother Lilly Potter, do you think you related to her?" Hermione asked, looking her over.
" I don't know, why do you think I might be related to Harry Potter?" as Alex said that Hermione eyes watered.
" Hermione it will be alright," Molly said, soothing the girl.
" Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought him up," Alex said, trying to help calm Hermione.
" It's alright Alex, it just hard to believe Harry is gone," Hermione said, as she wipe tears from her eyes, then to change the subject, they went into school, and found that they had a lot in common.
A little before lunch, Ron, Fred and George arrive, and to Alex embarrassment, the twins was trying to hit on her.

" You are invited to stay for lunch, if you don't need to be anywhere," Molly asked pleasantly.
" Actually I don't have to be back before dinner at seven," Alex said glad to be able to stay all day.
Once plans was underway for lunch, Molly excuse herself, while Alex, talked with the others.
In the parlor, Molly quickly place some anti-listening wards, about, before throwing some powder into the fireplace.
" Professor Dumbledore," she called into the flames, and soon his head appeared.
" Molly, what can I do for you?" Dumbledore asked pleasantly
" Professor, you asked me to call you if any strangers appear, and I have a girl name Alex, who look like Lily Potter here right now," Molly informed, as Dumbledore eyes grew big.

At the same time, as Molly arrived in the kitchen, Alex looked to Molly, and knew something was happening, and she had to leave now.
" Sorry Hermione, I just remembered something I have to do now," Alex said quickly getting up.
" Alex what's wrong, please stay," Molly asked, trying to keep her here.
As Alex turn, she stopped, when she saw someone blocking the doorway.
" Professor Crystal, what are you doing here?" Alex said, surprise at her appearance.
" Alex please stay, we got some explaining to do to your friends, and good evening headmaster Dumbledore," Crystal said, looking behind Alex.
" Good to see you again Headmistress Crystal, I'm glad that young Alex is now in good hands," Dumbledore said pleasantly, and everyone was seated.
Once seated, Alex was quiet, with her head down, while Dumbledore looked her over.
" Now Alex, tell me the truth, what is your real name?" Dumbledore pleasantly asked.
" My name is Alexandra Potter, daughter of Lilly and James Potter," Alex said, worriedly as she looked to her friends.
" It can't be, the Potters did not have any other children other then Harry Potter, I should know, since I read everything about them," Hermione said, as the others confirm this.
" Actually they only had one child, Hermione, and that child is Alexandra," Dumbledore confirmed, as everyone's jaw drop.
As the stunned group, except for Crystal and Alex, regain their senses, "Professor you telling us, that Alex Potter is actually Harry Potter?" Ron sounded shocked, and angry.
" Ron, Alexandra didn't even know she was a girl, since I myself, transfigured her into a boy," Dumbledore said, then went into what happen fifteen years ago.
Once Dumbledore was done, Alex, then Crystal went into what had happen the night, Alex was attacked and when they was done.
" But professor Dumbledore, you said you had confirmed Harry's death?" Molly asked, looking unsure.
" I did, since I based it on the life crystal I created to monitor Harry's health," Dumbledore started.
" What I didn't know, when I transfigured Alex into Harry, I had changed her life signs, and since the crystal was based on Harry's, the crystal went black when he was again transfigured back to Alexandra," Dumbledore explained.
Ron was about to asked something, but Hermione quickly stopped him.
" I'll try to explain this to you later," Hermione said, as everyone went quiet.
Once everyone got a say, it was Hermione who asked the next question.
" What now, what will happen to Harry, no, I mean Alex?" Hermione asked, looking at Alex.
" Well it will be up to Alex, since she already almost master her new abilities, and just need a few more things to train in," Crystal said, then looking at Alex.
" Alex, you can continue going to my school, or if you like, can go back to Hogwarts, during the next school year, and come back to my school, during the holidays and summer till you're of age," Crystal suggested.
" Can I really go back to Hogwarts?" Alex asked, sounding excited at the idea.
" Yes you may, but only as Alexandra Evans," Crystal suggested.
" It's a deal!" Alex said, looking very happy.
" Professor Crystal, we can use a transfer program, to allow orphans to attend an actual school, to cover why Alex is attending late," Dumbledore suggested.
" Yes that will do, and Alex," Crystal said, turning to her, " You may stay the night, but come back before dinner tomorrow, no later. Alright?" Crystal said.
" I will," Alex said.
" Then I will see you later, and so long professor Dumbledore, it was nice seeing you again," Crystal said, as she got up and was gone.
Once Crystal was gone, Alex turn to Dumbledore.
" Ah professor, are you going to let everyone know about me?" Alex asked worriedly.
" Actually no, the less people know, the better, but I think, we should tell two certain canines, what do you think?" Dumbledore suggested, with a wink.
Hearing this, Alex blush, since she knew who they were, Sirius her godfather, and Remus Lupin, her former DADA professor.
" Can you invite them here? I want to tell them myself," Alex asked hopefully.
" It will be done, they might arrive tomorrow around lunch, if they don't have anything to do, and I should be going, to get the transfer papers sign for you to come to my school," Dumbledore started, as he got up.
" And I'm glad to see you well Mrs. Potter," Dumbledore said, then apparated.
Once Dumbledore was gone, Alex turn to the twins, whom look grief stricken.
" What?" Alex asked smiling, since she knew why.
" We don't believe we tried to get a date with Harry Potter," both said, looking disgusted.
" Actually you didn't, since I am Alexandra Potter, but if you like me this way," as Alex said that, she shape-shifted to Harry Potter.
" No please return to look like Alex, you want us to loose our lunch," they both said as Alex laughed, while returning to a girl.
Once the twins was done talking.
" Alex, how did you do that?" Hermione asked.
" It is one of two things, I learn to do at the school I'm now attending," then with a smile, she turn to an exact copy of Hermione.
" Wow, you can be anyone?" Hermione asked, as Alex turn into Ron.
" Yes, anyone, or any animal," with that said, Alex turn into her favorite, a red and gold phoenix.
" Wow, you are a animagus," Ron asked, looking surprised.
" Actually I'm not, I am a shape-shifter, which mean I can turn into anything I want," Alex said, once she return to normal, then took requests to shape-shift into anything to entertain her friends.
After lunch, Alex was enjoying being with her friends, when she thought of something.
" Mrs. Weasley, where am I going to sleep, since I don't think Ron's room is now appropriate," Alex asked.
" Hmm, you can use Percy's room, since he did move out, when he got a job, and got an apartment," Molly said after a thought.
" Then I better leave now, to get a change of clothes from my room at the school," Alex said getting up.
" Alex, how are you getting there?" Hermione asked.
" Well, like this," Alex said, then teleported.
Once Alex was gone.
" Did she just apparate?" Ron asked surprised.
" No, that wasn't apparition, since there was no noise, when she disappeared," Hermione said.
" You guys can asked her, when she gets back, why not head out, and enjoy the day," Molly suggested, and the children all headed outdoors.
In half an hour, Alex return to a not so happy Molly.
" Alex Potter, do you know it is illegal to apparate without a license?" Molly sternly asked.
" But I didn't apparate, I teleported, which is not in the laws, since it doesn't need a spell to cast," Alex said defensively.
" Oh Alex I sorry, I should have known it was not apparition," Molly said, and to make it up, she help Alex get settled in her room.
The day pass, and during lunch the next day, Alex looked to the door, while sitting with Ron and Hermione.
" Great Sirius and Remus are here," Alex said, looking worried.
" Don't worry Alex, he will understand," Hermione said, as the door opened.
In the doorway was a man, and a large black dog, both Ron and Hermione, quickly got up to them to greet them, as Alex stayed seated, since they didn't know about her yet.
" Ron, Hermione, glad to see you both," Remus said gladly greeting them, then spied Alex.
" What in the-" Remus said, then using his werewolf sense of smell, his eye watered.
" But how, you are Harry Potter?" he said, looking unsure.
Remus dog, also had pick up the scent, quickly went up to Alex and whined.
" Snuffles, it's me, I'm alive," Alex said as the dog, turn into a man and gave her a bone shattering hug.
For a while no one spoke till.
" Sirius, she needs to breath sooner or later," Remus joked, but as Sirius let a blushing Alex go, Remus quickly hug her.
" Harry Potter, you have some explaining to do," Sirius said, as Remus let her go.
" Everything will be explained in due time," a new voice sounded, and everyone turn to Dumbledore.
" Professor, why is Harry a girl, and not only that why does she look like Lily?" Sirius asked, not looking away from Alex.
" Everyone, please be seated, and well begin to tell you everything," Dumbledore suggested, and everyone sat down.
In a hour, both Dumbledore and Alex explain everything, while Sirius and Remus sat closely to her.
" Professor, you should have told me, since I'm her godfather," Sirius said, not so nicely.
" I'm sorry Sirius, but both James, and I had decided it was best to keep her identity hidden, as long as possible, we actually didn't think we was going to keep her a boy for this long, I'm sorry for not telling you," Dumbledore said, apologizing.
" It's alright, I forgive you both," Sirius said, looking to Dumbledore.
" So what now, is Alex, going to stay at the orphan's school, or go back to Hogwarts," Remus asked.
" Actually both, she will continue till the end of summer, and come back to Hogwarts for sixth and seventh years, but will be going back to the other school, for the holidays, and the summers, till she is of age" Dumbledore said.
" Well I guess it is better then the Dursleys, eh?" Sirius said, squeezing Alex in a hug.
" Actually, I like it there, and there is so many things to do," Alex said, looking at Sirius.
" Well I should be going, see you the following weekend Alex, and see the rest of you later," Dumbledore said to the others and apparated.
Once Dumbledore was gone.
" Alex I hope you didn't start dating yet," Sirius asked, as Alex blushed.
" I didn't, I'm still getting use to the fact I am a girl," Alex said.
" Ah Sirius, look like you got your work cut out, since I bet you didn't care about Harry dating, but Alex..." Remus joked.
" Oh no, you are right," Sirius looked horrify at the idea.
" Alex, I forbid you to date, or have a boyfriend till you are forty!" Sirius said, all meanly.
" Sirius," Alex pouted, " you can't do that, and plus I don't know when I'll be ready to have one yet?" Alex said, as her friends was laughing at them.
After a few more rounds of, trying to stop Alex from getting a boyfriend, Sirius asked about the school, which Alex was more then happy to tell, to stop her godfather from ruin her life, and started talking about classes, things to do there.
Talk continued till almost seven, and when Alex saw the time, " I'm sorry guys, I got to go," Alex said, getting up.
" Then well see you next weekend," Sirius said, as he hug her, as did Remus.
" Now be a good witch, and stay out of trouble," Remus warned.
" Actually, I never got into any trouble, since going to the school," Alex said, as she gathered her backpack, filled with her clothes, then with a finale farewell to her friends, Alex was gone.
