No one saw much of Hermione for the next two weeks. She locked herself up in the library every chance she got. When she couldn't find anything there, she went to the closet wizard library, and when she still couldn't find anything there, she went to the Hogwarts library.

"Harry!" Hermione ran into the house. Lupin pointed upstairs. Hermione nodded and ran up to the guys' bedroom. "Harry! Guess what?"

Him and Ron were playing wizards chess. Draco was reading a book on his bed. Harry looked up just as his King got checked-mated. "What?"

"There's one other elemental mage," said Hermione.

"One? Really? Where? Who?" asked Harry.

"Yes, yes, United States of America, and Alexandra Chandler, great-granddaughter of Trisana Chandler," said Hermione.

"The USA?" asked Draco. Hermione nodded. "There's none here in England?"

Hermione shook for head. "She's the only known elemental mage in the world."

"Who's Trisana Chandler?" asked Ron.

"She was a famous elemental mage when she was around. Her and her foster-siblings were all considered great-mages. That's probably what you'd be Harry," said Hermione. "We need to go to Hogsmead and send her a long distance owl, asked her if she can teach you."

"Let's do that now," said Harry.

"Let's go then," said Hermione. They all apparated to Hogsmead and sent Alexandra a letter, knowing that it would be weeks before they even got a reply. The letter her almost everything about Harry, but the figured she might already know. It was a just in case thing anyway.

"Let's go to Hogwarts and tell Dumbledore," said Hermione. They walked to the familiar castle and through the familiar Great Hall doors.

"It feels like coming back to Hogwarts," said Harry.

"Yes, it does," said Hermione.

They walked the familiar halls to the familiar griffin that guarded Dumbledore's office. They stood there for a moment.

"Milky Way," said a familiar voice behind them. "Obsessed with muggle candy at the moment." They all turned around.

"Serveus," said Harry. "...Thanks..." He went up the ascending stairs, the others followed. He knocked on the door and was let in.

"Harry," said Dumbledore. "I'd like you to meet Alexandra Chandler." Alex held out her hand. She was around 28. Her red hair pinned up in a whole bunch of curls. She was about 5'6, two inches shorter than Harry, and was medium built. Her skin was littered with freckles. Harry shook her hand.

"Just call me Alex. Alexandra sounds to royal," said Alex.

"Hello," said Harry. "I'm sure Dumbledore told you all about me." She nodded. "These are my friends Ron and Hermione, and Hermione's boyfriend Draco Malfoy." Alex shook each of their hands.

"Well, I was starting to think that after I died, there would be no more elemental mages," said Alex. "Glad to be your teacher Harry Potter."

"Glad to be your student," said Harry.

"I'm due back in the US in two days," said Alex, "and your coming with me."

"What? I can't possibly leave," said Harry. "I have to stay. If I leave, Voldemort will be sure to attack."

"What makes you say that?" asked Alex.

"Because, this time I won't be here to stop him like I always seem to do," said Harry.

"Harry, everything will be fine," said Dumbledore. "From out latest discovery, we outnumber the death-eaters," said Dumbledore. "You have to go, or you will never learn about your powers."

Harry sighed. "As long as Ron and Hermione come with me."

"And Draco," said Hermione.

Harry sighed again. "And Malfoy."

"We leave on Wednesday at 11:00 sharp," said Alex.

"How are we getting there?" asked Ron.

"Apparating of course," said Alex. "Oh, have you ever meditated before?"

"Yeah, for about two weeks. Hermione's been teaching me," said Harry.

"Ok, great, then I won't have to waist time teaching that to you," said Alex.

After about an hour of talking, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco gave Alex a tour of Hogwarts. That literally took all day. They dropped her off at the Leaky Cauldron and went back to the Headquarters. There was an Order meeting tonight. That's when they'd tell everyone they were going to California, USA.

"I can't believe I-I mean, we have to go to the United States. I know Voldemort will attack," complain Harry. Hermione left to go pack all of her things. She didn't want to hear this again. "And it won't just be for a month or two. It might take years! What if Voldemort takes over by then and starts working for the rest of the world?"

"Potter! Would you shut up! You are so annoying," snapped Draco.

"And you forgot that Dumbledore will still be here. Voldemort is afraid of him. Everyone knows that," said Ron.

"I know, but what if" Harry started before he was cut off.

"What if, what if whatever! Stop talking or talk about something else if you must!" said Draco.

Harry sighed and shrunk most of his stuff. He put all his clothes, except for what he was going to wear the next day, into a trunk and shrunk that also.

Wednesday was here in no time at all. Harry, still not wanting to go, came downstairs with a trunk. Everything else was shrunk in it. They were meeting Alex at the Leaky Cauldron in about an hour. Harry waited down stairs for the others to come. There was a knock on the door. Harry opened it.

Alex stood there. "Change of plans, we need to leave in," she looked at her watch, "ten minutes."

"Ten minutes? Why?" asked Harry.

"My old professor's friend needs my help with something," said Alex. "She just fire-talked to me."

Harry sighed. "Alright, I'll be right back." He ran upstairs. "Change of plans, we are leaving in ten minutes." He told the others when he got to his room. Thankfully Hermione was in there with them.

"I'll go tell the others, I've been packed," said Hermione. She left the room.

"Come on, hurry up," said Harry.

"Why the rush Potter?" asked Draco.

"Alex's old professor's friend needs her help," said Harry. "So we need to leave."

"Alright," announced Ron. "I'm ready."

"Me too," said Draco.

"Come on then," said Harry.

By the time they got downstairs, everyone that was in the Order had came to say good-bye. Harry wasn't expecting this big of a good-bye. It wasn't like he was leaving forever. Just a couple years, was all. He said his good-byes to the Order and they apparated to Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

They arrived in an expensive looking neighborhood. All the houses were huge compared to the ones of Privet Drive, but they weren't as big as Number 12 Grimmauld Place. They followed Alex up the sidewalk that led up to her house. She told them to drop their stuff here. They then followed her out of the house and across the street. Alex knocked on the door. A Japanese woman, probably in her late 60s, opened the door.

"Ah, Alex, you're here," said the old woman. She let them inside.

"This is Arishia Toma," said Alex. "Arishia, this is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy." Alex waved a hand at each of them as they were mentioned.

"Nice to meet you," said Arishia.

"Now, what's the problem?" asked Alex.

"I need a protection spell put on my house," said Arishia.

"Don't you have one?" asked Alex.

"Yes, but the man I bought the charm from lied. It was very weak," said Arishia.

"Ah, I see," said Alex. "Follow me." She waved her hand at Harry. Ron, Hermione, Draco, and Arishia followed. "You'll be able to do this too." Alex put her palm on the wall and closed her eyes. Lightning flowed out of her fingertips and spread along the house like a spider web. Harry watched with awe. Ron's, Hermione's, and Draco's mouths were hanging open. "This is much stronger than wand-magic. No offense."

"None taken," muttered Ron, Hermione, and Draco.
