On Christmas day, Alex awoke to see piles of presents in her room. "WOW, is this all for me?" Alex said, sounding shock at the pile, but some giggle alerted her. "Actually no, we thought, we all should open our presents together." Laura said, as she and Tina sat nearby. "So hurry and get up and change, so we can get to work on opening them." Tina said, as they stood up, and headed to the presents, Alex went to the bathroom, to quickly shower and change.
In an hour, Laura and Tina, was banishing their gifts to their rooms, while Alex was simply putting hers away. "Alex, we better head to Professor Crystal's office, so you can tell her you are leaving." Laura said, reminding Alex, she was leaving for Neville's home that day. "Wait a second, I need to gather Neville's gift, and then we can go." Alex said, as she quickly placed a present into her backpack, and then called her familiars to her side. "Helios, Lily, you better stick to me like glue, I'm heading to Neville's for the day." Alex telepathically informed them, and they landed on Alex's shoulder, as she walked to Crystal's office with her friends.
As Alex walked to Crystal's office, she felt uneasy, at first she thought it was just nerves, since she was visiting Neville's parents, but as she got near the office, she knew it something else, but decided to try to shake the feeling off, as she enter Crystal's office.
Once seated in Crystal's office, Crystal spoke first. "Remember Alex, keep your familiars close, and the first sign of danger, get everyone out, no heroics, do I make myself clear?" Crystal warned, as Alex nodded. "I promise, I will just get everyone to safety, I won't do anything more." Alex said, looking to Crystal. "Then, I will see you later this afternoon, and remember no later then seven." Crystal said as she got up and hugged Alex. "Now be a good girl and listen to Neville's parents, and have a good time." Crystal said as she let Alex go. "I will," Alex said, and was hug by Laura and Tina. "Hurry back, we want to know everything, when you get back?" Laura said. "That means you better not leave anything out." Tina warned, and Alex quickly nodded. "Do not worries, both of you will be told everything?" Alex said smiling. "Alex you better leave, you don't want to keep Neville's parents waiting?" Crystal informed, and Alex nodded. "I better leave now then, goodbye everyone." Alex said, and then closed her eyes, to find Neville's location, then teleported.
When Alex appeared, she was facing a small two story house. "So this is where Neville lives. Very quaint." Alex thought, as she spied a large garden, on the side, filled with many herbs and other plants. "I should have known. Almost like the green houses at school." Alex thought, but headed to the front doors of the house and knocked.
The second Alex knocked, the door opened, and Alex was hugged. "Oh Alex, how are you, how was your Holiday so far?" Neville's mother Alice said, as she let go Alex. "I'm fine, and I had a blast since returning to Crystal's school." Alex said smiling at the attention. "Alex please come in, and get warm up by the fire. Frank dear, why get Neville down here, I'm sure he would want to see Alex," Alice informed him, and Frank quickly left for the second floor, while Alex was lead to a sofa, where she was offer tea and snacks, which she graciously accepted.
In a few minutes, Neville came running down the stairs, and gave Alex a hug, unfortunately they didn't kiss, because of Neville's parents. "Alex, I have your presents under the Christmas tree, I'll get it." Neville said, as he let Alex go and went to the tree. "I also have yours Neville." Alex said, as she opened her backpack and pulled out Neville's present, and they then handed each other presents. "Thank you," they said to each other. "Come you two, let sit down and open your presents, I also have a present for you Alex." Alice said, to a now worried Alex. "Oh no, I forgot to get you both something?" Alex said to the parents. "Nonsense, you don't need to get us anything, since you helped us regain our sanity and get reunited with our son." Frank said smiling, stopping Alex apology. "Frank is right, you don't need to get us anything, we are happier to have you here." Alice said, smiling to assure Alex.
Once the gifts were unwrapped, and thanks were said, Alice stood up gathering the dishes. "Alex dear, why not come with me to talk, I will only take a moment of your time, then you can stay with Neville for the rest of the day." Alice said to assuage Alex's fears, and she followed Alice to the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen, Alice magically washed the dishes, as she gestured Alex to sit at the tables, with her. "Now, first thing, what are your plans after Hogwarts?" Alice asked. "I'm not really sure, maybe an Auror, or a DADA professor," Alex said, looking to Alice. "Wise move, I heard you are good in many of your classes, even got professor Snape to change his ways." Alice said grinning, since she heard stories from her son that made Snape sound like Adolf Hitler before Snape's duel with Alex. "Yes he changed a lot, I was surprised that he really accepted his fate, to act nice to everyone." Alex said, as she shuddered at the memory. "It was scary at first, but I think everyone has now accepted the new professor Snape." Alex finished, as Alice smiled. "But we are avoiding our talk about you, what I would like to know, is that have you fully accepted that you are a girl." Alice asked looking serious. "I have, since I changed, I no longer acted like a boy, and started acting like any girl would." Alex said, gesturing to her appearance, which she wore a pink blouse, green skirt, and makeup. "I'm glad of that, lets head back to the boys, I'm sure you want to spend time with Neville, then with his parents." Alice said smiling, as they stood up, and went to the parlor area.
The day was pleasant, as Neville showed Alex his large garden, and walked around the house, and once the tour was over they both sat on a bench, facing a small fountain, while Alex's familiars seem to enjoy themselves, by flying about in the garden. "Too bad we can't leave the yard, I would have loved to show you around especially the lake nearby, we can do almost anything there from swimming to boating." Neville said, looking sorry about the restrictions, for Alex's safety. "It's alright, maybe later on another visit, we can do those things, and plus, I don't have a swimming suit." Alex said while blushing, since she became self-conscious toward her new body. "Maybe you are right, if we ask professor Dumbledore he might allow us to go to the lake." Neville said, and then he started talking more about the lake.
Unknown to the couple, Neville's parents was watching them, from the kitchen window. "Do you think they have a chance together?" Alice asked looking toward her husband. "Fifty: one odds in their favor, yes I think so, since I do see a connection between the two, maybe enough to be soul mates?" Frank said, smiling at the sight of the couple. "Maybe you are right." Alice said, as she hugged her husband. "That is odd; I thought Neville got all his presents from his friends?" Frank said, since he spied a brown owl heading towards the couple. "You are right, maybe it's for Alex?" Alice asked. "No her presents and letters is being sent to her, by other means, but to be on the safe side, lets head out to check it?" Frank said, but as the couple made a move, the owl landed on Alex shoulder, and she automatically reached for the letter. "Wait Alex, don't-" Frank yelled out, but it was too late, as soon as Alex touched the letter, she vanished.
On the bench, Neville only could stare at where Alex used to be, as his parents, rushed out of the house, quickly waving their wands at where Alex disappeared. "Can't get anything, Alice head to the fire place, and call professor Dumbledore; he needs to know about this right away." Frank said, looking stricken at losing Alex, and Alice quickly ran back into the house. "Neville, please head back inside, there is nothing you can do." Frank said, looking sorry. "She will be alright won't she?" Neville said, looking very apprehensive. "She is a strong witch and an Elemental, I'm sure Alex will be back before we know it." Frank said assuredly, but was not sure about it himself, as Neville went slowly back into the house.
In an unknown place Alex awoke on a stone table, but was frozen in place, her eyes were the only things she could move she notice it was nighttime. "It looks like our guest is finally awake?" Said Voldemort voice. "We can finally start the ceremony, to bring my Heir to existence." With that said, Alex eye grew wide, but somehow she couldn't think, even though she was fully aware of everything. "Now Alex, don't be scared." Voldemort said, as he came in view of Alex's sight. "You don't need to worry about your so call virtue, there is other means of creating an Heir, but unless you already gave it away." With that said, Voldemort move his wand over Alex's body and smiled. "So you didn't, you been a good girl so far, we better do something about that later on." As Voldemort said that, he moved out of Alex's vision, and Alex closed her eyes, trying to get back in control of her body, but knew it was useless.
For some time, Alex kept her eyes close, trying to break the spell. Alex stopped as she heard chanting. For a while nothing happen, until Alex's body felt like it being pulled apart. Alex opened her eyes, to find a dark glow surrounding her, she wanted to scream because of the pain that was starting, but couldn't since she was still under the spell, then what felt forever a white sphere rose out of her stomach, and as it floated to the side, the pain was gone.
For a while, nothing happen, as Alex closed her eyes, since she felt very weak. "Now don't fall asleep yet, you don't want to miss our child's creation don't you?" As Voldemort spoke, Alex felt her self rising from the table, and then found herself standing in front of Voldemort, between them was two spheres, a pure black one, and a pure white one, that Alex knew was hers. "Now witness, the birth of a very powerful child." With that said, Voldemort chanted in a unknown language, and the two spheres slowly came together, and merge into one black sphere, then within moments, it changed it shape, to that of a human baby, which now laid on the ground squirming.
Once the new born baby was fully formed, Voldemort picked it up, and cradle it. "Congratulations, we have a daughter, I think I will name her Morgana, too bad she needs a year to grow to adulthood, but of course in less then six months she will be old enough to be taught the dark arts." Voldemort said looking at the infant, whom strangely looked like Shawnee, Alex had notice. "Now with this ceremony over, I think I should hide you somewhere, yes, I think the Riddle Mansion will do." And with a wave of Voldemort's wand, Alex was gone.
Once Alex appeared, she fell to the ground, but was too week to move. "Voldemort, you pay for this." Alex weakly thought, as she painfully rolled onto her back. "Great, the spell was lifted, but I can't do anything?" Alex thought. "Maybe I can still teleport," With that thought, Alex closed her eyes and focus on the hospital wing, in Crystal's school. "Please work." Alex thought, and disappeared.
Late at night at Hogwarts, in Dumbledore's office, everyone was frantic, as Dumbledore, Crystal, and the Longbottom's, was waiting for any news about Alex, since they sent out all the Aurors, and Order Members out to search at all Voldemort's old hiding places. "This is taking too long." Alice said, as she paced about. "Alice dear, please calm down, they are doing everything possible to get Alex back." Frank said, looking as worried as his wife. "Crystal is there anything you can do?" Alice desperately asked. "I'm sorry, there must be strong dark magic at work, I can't locate her, I been trying, since Alex disappeared." Crystal said looking sorry, but stopped, as she closed her eyes. "Oh holy Merlin no, Alex, I know where she is!" Crystal suddenly said, then opened her eyes. "Professor Dumbledore, please get Madam Pomfrey and Professor Snape, and have them gather all the strengthening potions and magic restorer potions here, my healer will need all the help she can get," Crystal said looking desperate, and without saying anything, Dumbledore left his office threw the fireplace.
About half an hour later, Dumbledore, Crystal, and the Longbottom's, only could watch as both healers from Hogwarts and Crystal's school, work desperately on Alex , whom was suffering from severe magic lose. "Everyone, there nothing we can do now, let get some sleep, I'm sure Madam Eliza won't mind us using her beds for tonight?" Crystal informed, and they all reluctantly went an available bed.
Some hours later, Eliza, Pomfrey and Snape, had done all they could, was also resting on a bed near Alex. Nearby in the other beds no one in the room could sleep, as they watch a helpless Alex, lay in bed, and they all knew she was still in danger from her magic lose, and because of that, no one couldn't sleep, but as they watch Alex, a familiar voice sounded.
The battle between Darkness and light will begin.
In six months time, Light and Dark will clash, and the light will win, while The Dark will bid it time to continue its fight.
In another six months, a new Darkness will begin, and the light will succumb to the Darkness, unless the one born of light is located.
The one born of light is born from another world, where the darkness took over.
Born years ahead of their time.
Born from the champion of the light. The one born of light will be the spark that will light the way, to finale defeat of the darkness yet to come.
The complete prophecy was finally said, and both Dumbledore and Crystal, knew Alex should be able to decipher it's meaning, but also knew, Alex was long way, of being well enough, to try to figure this out.
In an hour, Laura and Tina, was banishing their gifts to their rooms, while Alex was simply putting hers away. "Alex, we better head to Professor Crystal's office, so you can tell her you are leaving." Laura said, reminding Alex, she was leaving for Neville's home that day.
