The morning after helping Neville and his parents, Alex was in her room resting, she knew she was in trouble for what she did, even though Crystal had not yet called for her, Alex knew, it would only be a matter of time, before she does.
As Alex lay in bed, she notice it was time for breakfast, and quickly changed, grab her backpack, with her Guardian, and went out of her room, with Lily on her shoulder.
As Alex got to the great hall, Crystal's voice stopped her. "Alex, professor Dumbledore would like to see you, please head to Hogwarts now," Crystal said, while showing no emotions, that would have told Alex what was going on. "alright I'm going now, see you later," with that said, Alex teleported.
Once Alex appeared, she was in front of Dumbledore's door, and instinctually picked up thoughts and feelings of many people in the office. "I have a bad feeling about this," Alex thought, then with a gulp, she knocked on the door. "Come in Alexandra Potter," the voice of the Dumbledore called threw the door, and with that said, Alex opened the door, to reveal a good number of the Order of the Phoenix, sitting about the room, with Dumbledore sitting behind his desk. "Please grab something from the table, and be seated, we have a lot of ground to cover," Dumbledore said, gesturing towards a table full of breakfast foods. Alex quickly grab a plate, and filled up with some of her favorites, then once she was done, Molly Weasley gestured to an empty chair next her, which Alex sat down on, waiting to see why she was here.
Once Alex had settled, Dumbledore looked to everyone. "Now that everyone is here, I got some news I want to share, that concerns the Longbottom's, it appears that Frank and Alice are fully recovered, and are eager to rejoin the Order," Dumbledore said. "But how, I thought they went mad, after being hit with the Cruciatus curse?" Moody barked. "They made a full recovery, after Alex discovered a cure, that is why she is here," once Dumbledore said that, everyone looked to Alex in awe, and while she looked embarrass, suddenly looked down, Dumbledore stood up and went to her. "Alex please, you did a great thing, there is nothing to be embarrass about," Dumbledore gently said, as he took her hand, and once Alex looked up. "And we still need to talk about your leaving Crystals School without permission," Dumbledore said warningly, at which Alex gulped. "But that will be for later," with that said, Dumbledore went back to his desk, and sat down.
Once Dumbledore was seated, he looked to the Order. "Now is there any objections, to letting the Longbottom's, back into the Order," Dumbledore ask, and when no one said anything. "Then I will get them," Dumbledore said, and left to the fireplace, and disappeared, only to return minutes later, with the three Longbottom's, which included Neville whom was allowed to stay the night to be with his parents.
Once the Longbottom's was seen, many of the Order members, quickly went to them and warmly greeted them, but as Alice saw Alex still seated, she quickly excuse herself, to walk over to Alex. "Alex dear, thanks for everything you did," Alice said, as she hugged Alex. "No thanks is needed-," Alex said shyly, but was cut off. "Alex, you did the impossible, no one was able to heal my parents, and you did it in matter of seconds," Neville said, as he hugged her. "I'm glad to call you my girlfriend," Neville said happily, but a gasp alerted him of something he forgot to tell, then turning to his parents. "Sorry, I forgot to mention to you, that Alex is my girlfriend," Neville said nervously, but once that was said, Alice took Alex to one corner of the room, and Frank took Neville to another corner. They talked for an hour, about do's, don'ts and other certain things the two teenagers needed to know while they are a couple, the Order watch in amusement.
After an hour, two very red face teenagers were seated next to each other, while the Order continue there meeting. "Now with that settled," Dumbledore started, with an amused tone. "I can finally ask Alex, who is your little friend on your shoulder," once Dumbledore said that, a bright light flickered, and Lily appeared sitting on Alex's shoulder, since when they had entered the office she was invisible. "This is Lily, she has the habit of following me around," Alex informed, as Dumbledore nodded. "I'll make sure the professors know this, why not head out, and enjoy a couple hours here, but I want to see you off, before heading back to Crystal's," Dumbledore informed, and Alex took Neville's hand as she got up. "Come on let's go," Alex said, and started to leave.
As Alex started to head out of the door, she suddenly stopped. "Professor Dumbledore, I need to stay for a few minutes, sorry about this," with that said, then with a wave of her hand, conjured a square pillow, big enough to place her Guardian Egg on, which she took out of her bag, and place the egg in the center of the pillow. "Alex is that your Guardian?" Dumbledore asked. "Yes, and its going to hatch any minute now," Alex said excitedly. While the Order members watched from behind them wondering what was going on, since they weren't told about this.
In a few minutes the egg started to glow, and in an almost blinding light the egg shape changed into a bird like shape, and once the glow diminished, a beautiful golden phoenix about the size of Fawkes emerged. "Holy Mother of Merlin! That's a Grand Phoenix Lord," Dumbledore said sounding shocked to his core. "But they're only myths! Aren't they?" Charlie Weasley said, looking at the phoenix. "They were till now," Dumbledore said, then shaking himself. "Alex, you have a very powerful Elemental Guardian, I feel extremely sorry for anyone that threatens you." Dumbledore said as he smiled at Alex. "But for now, I'm sorry to say this, but you should head back to Crystal's, she would want to see your Guardian," Dumbledore informed, and Alex nodded. "Then I will see in December?" Alex asked. "Yes, we will be happy to have you back" Dumbledore said, and Alex telepathically called to the phoenix, and he flew to Alex's shoulder. "I think I will name you Helios," Alex said, then with a quick farewell, she teleported.
Once Alex was gone, Sirius who was watching the scene spoke up. "When did Alex learn to do wandless magic?" he asked to no one in particular. "WHAT?!?!" A few asked. "She just conjured a pillow without a wand," Sirius said, pointing to the pillow that was still on the floor. "Good question, since last I heard, Crystal school doesn't teach wandless magic," Dumbledore said, as he banished the pillow away. "We will need to question Alex about this later, once she returns next month," Dumbledore finished, and soon they concluded the meeting.
Once Alex appeared, at Crystal's office door, she was called in. "Wow Alex, not only you have a Familiar Guardian, it is the most powerful and rarest creature known to the Elementals," Crystal said as she smiled at both Alex and Helios. "Great another special thing about me, couldn't I have gotten a normal phoenix?" Alex groaned and Helios gave an offended trill as she sat down. "Just to let you know, you were never normal," Crystal joked, as Alex grinned. "I guessing I'm back to classes tomorrow?" Alex asked to change the subject. "Yes, I'm afraid, but now you will need to train with Helios, which shouldn't be any different then your normal training," Crystal said, as Alex nodded. "Then I should head out to the practice field?" Alex asked, and Crystal nodded. "Don't overwork Helios, just let him fly about for now, then in a week, you can start training him, using his Elemental powers," Crystal warned, and nodded, as she headed out. After a couple hours, Alex was in her room resting on her bed, lost in thought. "Helios and Lily," Alex thought. "Two powerful creatures protecting me, I wonder if I will be safe, with them around me," but with that thought, Alex inwardly knew. "No, I should not just rely them, I have continue studying, to get stronger," Alex said, then reach for the Hogwarts book to study it.
As Alex lay in bed, she notice it was time for breakfast, and quickly changed, grab her backpack, with her Guardian, and went out of her room, with Lily on her shoulder.
As Alex got to the great hall, Crystal's voice stopped her. "Alex, professor Dumbledore would like to see you, please head to Hogwarts now," Crystal said, while showing no emotions, that would have told Alex what was going on. "alright I'm going now, see you later," with that said, Alex teleported.
