A/N; Thanks to my beta reader Ryan A. Potts Ph. D, also there will be one more chapter concerns the next story, it will be up shortly, since I need to write it, and please review, I would like to hear your comments. Also I don't own Harrry Potter and it's characters.
Days after Alex's escape from Voldemort, the Longbottom's and Dumbledore, sat waiting, since Alex had not woken up, and they feared, that she may have lapse into a coma, when she lost almost all her magic, but they was hopeful, that Alex would return to them.
During this time, all the Weasley family, Hermione, Remus, Sirius and a few other friends were allow entering Crystal's school, for support, and hopes that if Alex heard her friends, she would soon wake up, but as the holidays slowly came to end, hope was almost lost, as everyone sat waiting.
A few days, before school started, Hermione and Ron were seated near Alex, while Alex's Familiars was resting beside Alex, the professors and families were attending other business, but would return shortly, since they hated to leave Alex like this. "There should be something we can do Hermione." Ron said looking to her. "I wish I knew what to do, even with Crystal's library at my disposal, there is nothing that could help Alex." Hermione said, looking sadly at Alex's still form. "We just have to wait, till she wakes up, I just hope it will be soon." Ron said, as he placed an arm around, and continued their vigil over Alex.
Sometime later, as Ron and Hermione comfort each other, a strange thing happened, as a glow appeared around Alex's neck. "What is that?" Ron asked, but was soon answered, as a silver necklace appeared, and attached to it was a miniature golden trunk. "Have you seen that trunk before?" Ron asked. "No, the trunk she usually use, look like a normal trunk." Hermione said, as Ron reached for the trunk. "Ron we shouldn't be touching it!" Hermione said, but the trunk came easily off. "What if we were meant to open it?!" Ron said, as he placed the trunk on the ground, it grew to full size. "How about we see what's inside?" Ron said, and started it open it with the disapproval looked of Hermione.
As the trunk lid was about to be lifted, a voice sounded. "Ron, Hermione where did that trunk come from?" Dumbledore asked, as he stood from the entrance to the room. "We found it around Alex's neck, it just appeared." Ron said, looking towards Dumbledore, and had notice the all the Longbottom's were also there. "Wait Ron, let me check it, we don't know anything about it." Dumbledore said, as he waved his wand at the trunk. "Hmm, I'm only picking up Alex's magic signature, so this is hers." Dumbledore said as he examined the trunk. "Alright Ron, you can open it, but be careful." Dumbledore informed, and Ron did, to reveal a ladder going down a dark hole.
After some hesitation, Dumbledore, then the others made their way down the ladder, and luckily for them, as soon as their feet touched the ladder, there was light at the bottom, and everyone was surprise the trunk was more then twenty feet deep.
Once everyone was of the ladder, they all were standing in the beginning of a long hallway, filled with many non moving pictures. "Shawnee Potter, Reality 9, I wonder what that means?" Ron said, looking to a painting of a four year old. "She looks a lot like Harry, but I can tell she is a girl." Hermione said. "Look here, all these pictures have a reality number." Alice said as she scans every picture name and number. "Let's see what down this hallway, maybe we can find some answers to this?" Dumbledore said, and then lead the group down a long hallway.
The group probably read hundreds of unknown names before reaching double oak doors, which Dumbledore opened to reveal a large common room, with a five doors to on each side. "WOW, this looks a lot better then our own common room." Ron said, looking in awe. "But why does Alex have this, this doesn't make sense." Hermione said, as she walked about the room, along with the others.
After a while, the group opened each door. One was a full potions lab, filled with both known and unknown ingredients. Another door was a library, that was ten times bigger then the library at Alexandria. Another door appeared to be a dueling room. Another door was a large garden, filled with known and unknown plants.
After leaving the garden room, Hermione was the first to speak. "Was I the only one to see plants that should have been extinct in there?" Hermione asked the group. "You are correct Miss Granger, even the potions lab, had ingredients that were long thought lost." Dumbledore informed. "Where did Alex get all of these?" Alice asked. "I wish I knew, Alex seem to be secretly hiding things from us, but let check the last door." Dumbledore said, pointing to the last door.
The last room was bare of anything, accept for torches line about the walls, but as soon as the door to the room closed, everything went pitch black, for a second, and then there was light, but not from the torches, but from the sun that shown high above.
It took the group a moment to realize that they were now standing on Hogwarts grounds. "How did we get here?" Hermione asked no one in particular. "I can answer some of your questions." Said another voice, and everyone turn to face Alex wearing Hogwarts uniform, standing before them.
For a moment no one moved, till Ron excitedly ran to Alex to hug her, but ran right threw her. "What the?! Ouch!" Ron called out, as he fell to the ground, and Hermione ran to help Ron up. "Sorry about that, but to just let you all know, I am just a memory of Alexandra Potter." Alex said, looking to the group. "Alex, can you tell us about this trunk." Dumbledore ask, as he walked up to Alex. "I'm sorry, only the real Alex can tell you about this trunk." Alex said looking sorry. "Alex, the real Alex is in a coma, she suffered server magic lose, gave you help us?" Dumbledore asked, but Alex did not answer right away, she just stared for a few minute before answering. "Yes, I know how to help her, head to the library in here, and look under ancient magical cures for disorders and you will find a few potions that would help her, and the potions lab should have everything you need." Alex said. "Thank you Alex, but do we leave here?" Dumbledore asked, but in the next second, it went black, and the room appeared.
In few minutes, Dumbledore had the Longbottom's along with the children reading all the books on ancient cures, while he quickly left to get Snape, to make the potion.
Half an hour later, with Snape looking like child in a very big toy store, was rummaging into the potion supplies, grinning madly, as he read off many of the rare ingredients. "This can't be many of ingredients have disappeared centuries ago?" Snape said, looking both puzzle and happy at the same time. "Professor Snape, did you find everything you need?" Dumbledore ask. "There are probably enough ingredients to supply us for centuries, since I believe there is a complicated duplicating spell on all these ingredients." Snape answered, his eyes still glued to the ingredients. "That is good to hear, but I need you to come to the library, we found a number of potions that we hope will help Alex." Dumbledore informed, and Snape reluctantly moved away from the ingredients to leave with Dumbledore.
The potion was not easy to make, even with a potions Master making them, Snape had to redo the potion a number of times, before he even gotten close to a perfect potion, but still had a long ways of making a perfect one.
Days after the start of classes, only two people didn't return to their classes, Sirius, whom didn't want to leave Alex's side, had giving all his students to Remus, and Snape, whom was working all threw the day and night, trying to get the potion right, had a replacement for his potions classes.
Halfway threw January, on Saturday afternoon, with Sirius was still sitting beside Alex, the trunk lid opened to reveal a grumbling Snape. "How stupid of me, all those mistakes was done because I didn't add the right ingredient at the right time, why didn't I see that sooner?" Snape grumbled. "Professor Snape, did you just finish the potion?" Sirius asked excitedly. "Yes I did, we better get it in her now since the potion had a five minute life span." Snape said, rushing over to Alex, and with Sirius' help, got her mouth open, and the potion was poured in. "We must wait at least twenty-four hours, before we see any results, till then don't bother me." Snape said, as he lay down on an empty bed, and quickly fell asleep.
Saturday flew by slowly, as the hospital wing was quickly filling up, with Alex's friends and professors, since when they heard Alex was giving the potion, they all wanted to be there for her when she wakes.
It was late in the evening, the following Sunday, when the first signs appeared, when a silent hospital wing, was interrupted by a coughing fit, and Snape quickly went to Alex who seem to have a fever. "Don't worry, I was expecting this." Snape said, as he poured another potion into Alex's mouth, and it quickly dropped Alex's fever. "Alex, can you hear me?" Snape said, sounding caring, and as he said that Alex eyes opened, then widen at seeing Snape. "Calm down Alex, you are among friends." Snape said, nicely, and Alex nodded, but drifted to sleep.
After checking Alex, Eliza informed everyone, that Alex had just fell into a normal sleep, and should wake up in the morning. This made everyone glad, and Dumbledore and Crystal had decided to cancel classes the next day, until they knew Alex was all right.
It's mid after afternoon, on Monday, everyone in the Hospital wing, was split into smaller groups, talking about various things, the one closer to Alex, was Dumbledore, Sirius and few of the Order Members, they was talking about the now completed prophecy, since they decided to put it on hold till now. "Any idea of who is this Born of Light is?" Sirius asked. "Could it be Alex, since she seems destined to beat He-who-must-not-be-named?" Molly said. "It may not be her, since the prophecy stated that the person will come from another world?" Dumbledore informed them all. "But how, would who ever this person is, come to our world, and help us?" Remus asked. "I may have an answer to that." Said a dry and tired voice. "ALEX!" The group called out, alerting everyone in the room.
No one could move, since Eliza went straight to work on Alex, but unfortunately, all potions and spells were doing little to help Alex. "Madam Eliza, there is nothing you can now, there is no potion that can help me, because of the shape I'm in, but maybe after a week or two of rest they should start to help." Alex weakly suggested, and Eliza knew she telling the truth. "Alright, but you are staying here." Eliza said, in a tone that clearly said end of discussion, but Alex shook her head. "My trunk has a special room, secretly located in there, it will help me to recover, a time displacement ward is place on the room, so if you spend a day in there, and only minutes will pass outside the trunk." Alex said, hoping the healer will allow it. "Alright, I will allow it, as long as you spend three weeks in there, with me taking care of you." Eliza said. "As will I." Dumbledore, Sirius, and Remus said at the same time, and then planned to how to move Alex into the trunk, since she was still in no shape to walk.
After some levitating, and careful moving, Alex was inside the trunk, and down the hallway, but as the professors got to the double doors, they were surprise to find another set of doors. "I made this trunk using my magic, so it automatically knows my needs." Alex said, to a startle group, and then they went in.
The room, that Alex was talking about was spacious, and since the trunk seem to know what Alex needs are, there was a common room, five bedrooms, each with a bathroom and a kitchen, which Sirius quickly went into. "Wow, there is enough food for the three weeks." Sirius called to the others. "Actually we can probably send years in here, and not go hungry." Alex tiredly informed them, as she was placed in a room, and onto a comfortable bed.
During the first week, Alex spent most of the time asleep, while the other watched over her.
During the second week, most of the potions were working, and Alex was able to briefly walk around the room. Alex also spent most of the time playing chess, or talking to Dumbledore, Sirius, or Remus, about her parents, but unfortunately, both her magic and Elemental powers, were still pretty weak, and Alex feared it would months before she reached her full power again.
During the start of the third week, Alex was strong enough, to stay awake the entire day, and now was bored. "Can we leave here now, I don't really want to stay here another week." Alex grumbled to Eliza, whom was checking her. "Your magic levels is still dangerously low, even with your strength is back, I think it will be best for you to stay put, till the end of this week, and no arguments." Eliza sternly said, and left the room, while Dumbledore and the others came in.
Once seated, Dumbledore looked to Alex. "I know we have been putting this talk on hold, but I think it is time." Dumbledore said calmly. "Alex what happened when you were portkeyed away?" Dumbledore finished. "The first sign of the second darkness." Alex said, looking down. "Voldemort froze me, and use some of my life energy, along with almost all my magical core, and combine it with his, to create a new life." As Alex finished, she started to tear up. "He's going to raise our daughter, to become the next Dark Mistress." Alex said, not wanting to look at anyone, as she cried. "Alex, there was nothing you could have done." Sirius said, patting her hand, as the other too tried to calm Alex down. "Alex, I will see if we can get her, and maybe we can bring her to the our side." Dumbledore said, but Alex shook her head. "It won't be possible, Voldemort used some sort of spell to make her heart black as pitch, and in a year she will be all grown up, and pure evil, there is nothing we can do to change it." Alex said, sounding upset. "Incantesimo riposo!" Dumbledore whispered, and Alex fell asleep. "It would be best if she sleep for now, let leave her for now." Dumbledore suggested, and they all went into the common room.
Once in the common room, Sirius started pacing. "Damn him, why did he do this to Alex?!" Sirius yelled. "Professor, what are going to do, we can't force Alex to kill her daughter." Remus said, looking to Dumbledore. "I don't think it will be Alex that would fight her, remember the prophecy?" Dumbledore reminded them. "The one from another world, but still we have no clue to who this person is, and how is he or she coming to our world?" Remus said, looking unsure. "I have a feeling Alex may know, but we'll continue this once she is awake." Dumbledore informed, and change the subject to talk about other matters.
Unknown to the professors, Alex was listening to them, and had scanned their minds. "That is the complete prophecy. No it can't be, it must be Shawnee that will defeat Morgana." Alex thought." Great, and with my magic powers this weak, I doubt I can take on any Death Eater for the next couple month unless?" As Alex thought that, she knew what she needed to do. "Trunk, I need the most powerful magic restorer in the potion's lab?" Alex called into the room, and a potion appeared on the side desk, by her bed. "This potion is a temporary fix, and I only can cast one powerful spell, before I am weak again, so I better get it right." Alex thought as she drank the potion, then stood in a open area. "Portale magico!" Alex yelled, and the red misty portal opened. "It worked, I better leave now." Alex said knowing that even though time wont pass in this reality, she would probably not be back in another six or more months, just enough to get back her strength, and with that thought, she step into the portal.
