The morning after arriving at Hogwarts, she was almost done with her breakfast, when the schedule was pass out" great, first class is potions, with the Slytheryns" Ron complained "Alex, how are you doing in potions?" Hermione asked, ignoring Ron" I can do any potions without problems" Alex said truthfully" great you becoming like another Hermione, I hope you wont stop playing Quidditch" Ron said, hearing what was said" don't worry about that, I will never get tired of it" Alex said, as Hermione checked the time" we better head to potions" she ask, and they all got up to leave.
At the door to the potions classroom, Draco was standing there, looking all important like" Alex, I will forgive your rudeness on the train, if you be my potions partner" Draco said all nicely, to both Alex and Ron disgust" I have no idea what you are talking about, you were the only one being rude" Alex said not so nicely "why you-" Draco said angrily, and before anyone can do anything, pulled out his wand" Furnunculus" he called out, but it was deflected back at Draco, by a shield Alex created earlier, and he burst out in boils, just as the potions door opened, to reveal a grinning Snape.
Once Snape survey the group of students" Mrs. Evans attacking a student, ten points" Snape started" Alex didn't attack Malfoy, he attacked her!" Ron defended, as other Gryffindors quickly defended Alex" from Gryffindor and detention, right after you finish with Black, NOW IN," Snape said, not so nicely, and ignoring the Gryffindors" and Malfoy, get to the hospital wing, you are dismiss from both today's class and work" Snape continued, as a grinning Draco, left the group.
The rest of potions, did not go to well, as Snape criticize all of Alex's work, even though she had done everything right, but luckily Alex took everything well, and didn't say anything, since she knew it would be pointless.
Right after potions, Alex and her friends, entered transfigurations, Mcgonagal looked to Alex, but didn't say anything, until she sat down" welcome to fifth year transfigurations, for now, we will just be going over past years assignments, to help you for your OWLs, that will be coming up at the end of the year, also we will be going over animagus training, but for now, we will only go into theory, but if anyone is interested in going further, I will be doing the asking, so don't bother asking me, since only I can tell, if you got potential to be one" Mcgonagal said sternly, and went straight into the reviews.
As soon as class was over, Mcgonagal called Alex to the side, as the rest headed out of the door, and once alone" Alex, I got your papers, from your school, and it seem you are their top student" Mcgonagal said, as Alex nodded" the reason I called you, did you start animagus training yet, since from what I read, you probably can start now" Mcgonagal ask, as Alex stood
unsure what to say till" actually we tried, but it doesn't look like I am one" Alex said, hoping it would stop Mcgonagal from inquiring further" yes, that unfortunately does happen to the best of students, and thank for letting me know" Mcgonagal said accepting what Alex said" you better head to lunch" Mcgonagal informed, and Alex quickly left.
Once Alex was gone, Mcgonagal sigh" she is so much like Lilly Potter, I wonder if they are related" Mcgonagal thought, but shook her head" no professor Dumbledore would have told me" with that thought, Mcgonagal left her classroom, to head to the great hall.
As the day pass, Alex had also left the other teachers lost in thought, since they too had thought Alex was related to Lilly, but quickly dismiss it, since they knew Lilly had no living relatives.
As Alex finished the last class, she and her friends Ron and Hermione went to see Hagrid, since Alex could tell he was in pain, thanks to the death of Harry Potter, and she wanted to do something about it.
Once it was clear that Hagrid was alone, Hermione went up to Hagrid hut and knocked" why hello Hermione, Ron, and" Hagrid stopped, as he got a good look at Alex" my word, I thought you looked familiar, but I thought it was because it was dark then" Hagrid said shaking his head, then with a smile" please come in, and have tea, before dinner" the friends nodded, and went in.
Once everyone got settle down, Hermione turn to Hagrid" Hagrid, I want you to meet our new friend Alexandra Evans, or just Alex" Hermione informed, and Hagrid warmly looked to Alex" nice to meet you Alex" Hagrid said pleasantly" Hagrid" Alex said looking to him" I have a secret, that you must never tell anyone, will you promise me you wont tell, if I tell you, don't worry
professor Dumbledore knows this" Alex said hopefully" if this secret is worth keeping, then I will" Hagrid said, looking determine to keep it" then I will show you" Alex said, while standing up, and shape-shifted to Harry.
For a while Hagrid didn't spoke" Hagrid it's me Harry, but my real name is Alexandra Potter" Alex said, returning to a girl" Alexandra, now I remember where I heard that name, Lilly wanted to name her first daughter Alexandra, so you must be her" Hagrid said smiling, and went up to Alex to give her a hug" Alex I'm glad you are alive" Hagrid said as he release her, and they sat down to talk.
When the Alex left with her friends, she knew Hagrid was now happy, and was glad to help him, as they head into the school, talking about the past years.
Later the evening, soon as dinner was over, Sirius went up to Alex at the Gryffindor table" all right you little trouble maker, lets head to my office, and see about your punishments" Sirius said, all meanly, but Alex knew he was just making a show, stood up, and followed Sirius out with her head down, trying to look worried about this.
As Alex sat down in Sirius office, he looked to her" now Alexandra Potter, I want you to write a list of spells you know and can cast without any problems" Sirius said sternly" and once you do that, I want to see you perform them" he said, handing her a stack of parchments" no problem
professor" Alex said smiling, then started writing as fast as she could.
In an hour, Alex was sent to her common room, leaving a very startle professor" there got to more then enough spells here, to write a spell book" Sirius said, examining a stack of fifty parchments, each filled with spells, many he did not know of" and she says, she was not yet done" Sirius said shaking his head" with that photographic memory of hers, she could probably
copy all the books she read" with that in thought, Sirius left to see
Dumbledore.
On the second day of detention, Sirius had Alex continued her work on making lists of spells, this continued till the fourth day, and Alex had done over a two hundred parchments, and probably over a thousand spells.
Once Alex was done with her detention for the fifth day, Sirius looked to her" wow, we have enough here, for a book of spells, and you probably written almost everything for spell uses" Sirius said, looking over three stacks of parchments" actually not everything" Alex said, then thinking fast, she took out her wand, and transfigured the three stacks into a large book" too bad, it was not enough for light reading" Alex said, thinking of the book Hermione was reading for their first year" light reading as you say, there is no way I could finish this book, in a day, but we should do something about the blank cover" Sirius then got out his wand, and with a wave, a title was imprinted on the book" ALEXANDRA EVANS BOOK OF SPELLS" it read" there it is now finish, you should make a copy of it, and have Hermione and Ron study this, for your duel next week, I will take also make a couple copies for myself and Remus, for our classes" Sirius suggested, and three books was created" now run off, and have enjoy the rest of the day"
Sirius said, sending Alex out of the door.

Once Alex return to her common room, Hermione was more then willing to learn all she could from Alex's book, and even talked Ron into studying it, and with Alex's help, both learn many spells from the book, but still Alex's friends was worried, about the duel next week.
