A/N: I'm really sorry about not updating, guys! I had a math contest on Saturday so.... I got really busy! But this one is longer than usual... and I :hope: to have eight up tomorrow!

"So... let me get this straight. Textbooks, Robes, Wand, Cauldron, Quills, Ink, and a Bookbag...?"

"Yes, Tonks. Now could you PLEASE wake her? I have some things I want to buy also!"

Jax woke up to the sound of Lupin and Tonks' voices coming from a corner in her room. She lay still, trying to make them think she was still asleep.

"Okay, okay! Don't be so uptight, Remus!"

Tonks crossed over to the figure that lay in the bed and gently shook it.

"Jax? Jax, sweetie, wake up!"

Jax purposely didn't move. She kept as stiff as a log, not even breathing.

"Remus! She... she won't get up!"

Tonks shook Jax a bit harder, and Lupin's forehead creased as he crossed the room.

"Jax! Jax, wake up!"

Tonks started to shake harder, but Lupin stopped her. He mouthed 'follow my lead' to a confused Tonks, and put his hand up to the side of his mouth.

"Well, Tonks, since Jax is asleep, I'll just call in her brother to wake her up! I mean, what better position for Harry to meet her for the first time?" Lupin said loudly, knowing that Harry and Ron left early that morning with Mr. Weasley to go see a Quidditch game.

"NO!"

Jax abruptly sat up in her bed, confused and angry. Lupin laughed, and Tonks nervously laughed, embarrassed that she thought that there was something wrong with Jax.

"You are just like James... a good prankster, yet so gullible," Lupin said, chuckling.

Jax smiled, and got out from under the covers. There was some silence as Tonks settled down and Lupin tried to contain his laughs. Jax finally broke the silence.

"So... what were we doing today again?"

"Well just get dressed and we'll get you there, okay?"

"Okay."

Lupin and Tonks left the room, smiling. Lupin was still shaking his head, amazed at how good of a blend she was of her parents. She had Lily's looks and James' good qualities, just like her brother but reversed.

Jax closed the door behind them and locked it, excited. She picked up a pair of tight black jeans and a deep, long-sleeved red shirt and put them on. She had always liked to flatter her dark hair with dark-toned clothes. She caked on eyeliner and lipstick, smacking her lips together. She ran a brush though her hair and put her boots on. She didn't bother really doing herself up since she had no clue where she was going.

"Jax?"

Jax heard a knock on her door. It was Tonks.

"I'm coming!"

She grabbed her jacket and opened the door. Tonks stared at her, looking her over.

"I like your clothes. Especially the shirt... where'd you get it?"

"No where special. I think I got it from my best friend Maddie."

Jax looked away, thinking about her best friend. She shook off the thought, though. There was no turning back now.

"I'm so hungry. Is there any breakfast left?" Jax asked Tonks.

"Oh yeah! Sure!"

Tonks turned and walked down the staircase, telling Jax to follow. Immediately Jax smelled bacon, eggs, and potatoes.

"Oh, man that smells wonderful!"

"Grab yourself a plate and help yourself, dear. Glad to see you're finally awake!"

Mrs. Weasley greeted Jax with a warm smile, handing her a clean plate and pointing to the piles of food on the table.

"Everyone just left... they were all asking about you. But I told them that you needed your rest. Diagon Alley is a tiring trip!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley."

Jax walked over to the table and loaded on the food, it all was so tempting. She sat down next to Lupin, who was reading the Daily Prophet.

"Is that the newspaper?"

Jax craned her neck over to the paper, trying to read the headlines.

"It's nothing special; just like any other muggle paper. Except the pictures move."

Tonks laughed, nodding in agreement. She walked over with a glass of orange juice and placed it in front of Jax, and sat down herself.

"So, Jax, I know a certain person who had a birthday very recently..."

Jax blushed and started to play with her food. She hadn't been expecting them to remember her birthday.

"What do you want? Dumbledore slipped me a couple of extra coins last night after you were asleep," Lupin joined in.

Jax smiled, and remembered her experience the previous morning on the broom. She looked up to the three faces smiling at her.

"A broom. I want a broom."

Lupin beamed; he had been hoping that was what she would choose.

"Well, that's certainly easy to get! A Nimbus 3000 should be sufficient, right?"

"Is that what I rode on yesterday? Because that's the kind I want."

"Yes, a 3000 was the make you rode yesterday. And you rode it beautifully, may I add."

Jax blushed again, this time all the way down to her toes. Never in her life had she imagined being complimented on flying a broom.

Jax finished up the food on her plate and handed it to Mrs. Weasley, who gave it a flick of her wand, and it immediately started to wash itself. Jax brushed aside her bangs, revealing her scar. The three adults stared at her, concentrating on the scar.

"What?"

Jax was confused at their looks. Tonks advanced to her, and put her hand up to Jax's forehead. She barely brushed the scar with her hand, but it was enough for Jax to get the idea.

"Oh, this?"

Jax brought her bangs up even more for them to see it. They all continued to stare, but Lupin broke the silence finally.

"Put your bangs down, dear. I'm going to tell you something, and it's very important. Are you listening?"

Jax put her hand down and nodded.

"Your scar is the only dead giveaway to your true identity. Not many people know that there was actually a second Potter, but many know about the Dark Lord's scars. And only three people possess them. Harry, you, and the Dark Lord himself. That means that you have to keep your scar hidden at all times, you hear?"

Jax nodded, understanding.

"Okay! Let's get a move on!"

Tonks, Lupin and Jax stood up and walked towards the door, Mrs. Weasley waving them goodbye.

"So, how are we getting to this place?"

"The only way possible. Muggle transport," Tonks replied.

"You mean car?"

"Yeah. Whatever those things on wheels are. They have a motor and little foot thingies..."

"Yeah. That would be a car. Do you know how to drive one?"

"Merlin, No! I wouldn't ever even touch one of those things! Arthur enchanted it to drive itself."

"Cool," Jax nodded, approving.

They all turned to look down the street as a car appeared out of nowhere, honking at the three. Lupin gestured for Jax to get it first, so she reached for the handle, but the door flew open before she could do anything. She stepped in, gasping at the elegance of the car. It was like a limousine, but packed into a small, ordinary car.

Tonks came next, and sat next to Jax. Lupin climbed in finally, closing the door behind him. Jax's face grew a confused look on it.

"Won't it look just a bit strange when there's nobody behind the wheel?"

"Oh, these nosy muggles. I'll take care of it," Tonks said, annoyed.

She took out her wand and muttered something, and in the driver's seat appeared a figure that looked exactly like her. She admired her work, and finally gave the wand another flick, and the car immediately started up.

"This thing is really cool," Jax exclaimed calmly.

"Well, Arthur is quite the genius when it comes to Muggle inventions," Lupin praised.

The car ride was silent, yet very pleasant for Jax. She had only been away from the muggle world for two days, and she already missed it terribly. She enjoyed driving along the roads she knew well, seeing all of her usual hangouts. She grew a disappointed look on her face when she felt the car come to an abrupt stop.

"Come on, Jax! We've got a big day ahead of us!"

Tonks held out a hand to help Jax out of the car. Jax took it, and pulled herself out. She looked around, and recognized the street she was on. She gave Tonks a confused look.

"We're not there yet, silly!" Tonks exclaimed, as if she could read Jax's mind.

Lupin started walking in the opposite direction of the car, motioning for Jax and Tonks to follow him. He stepped into a pub nearby, not looking back to see if the other two were following. Tonks quickened her step in order to catch up, and she caught the door as it was closing. She held it open for Jax, and followed Jax in. Lupin was waiting at the back entrance, calmly leaning against the wall. He looked to Jax, addressing her with his eyes.

"Are you ready for Diagon Alley, Jax?"

Lupin had a quirky smile on his face.

"Yes! Let's go, please!" Jax replied eagerly.

"Alright..."

Lupin pushed open the door, only to open up to a brick wall. Jax looked disappointed.

"A brick wall? This is what you get me excited for?"

"Have faith, dear. Always have faith," Tonks said.

Lupin pulled his wand out and tapped various bricks. The bricks then started to shift, alternating. Jax watched with content, amazed at what was happening before her very eyes. Lupin stepped through the opening, and pulled Jax along with him.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley, Jax."

Jax squealed with delight. She watched the witches and wizards pass in front of her; all of them busy shopping in order for the new school term to begin. Tonks took Jax's arm and walked her down the sidewalk, in the direction of Gringotts.

"Where are we going?"

"Gringotts, of course!"

"What's Gringotts?"

"The most trusted bank in the entire wizarding world," Lupin explained.

"Whoa."

Jax gaped at the enormous stone building in front of her.

"Let's get in so we can start shopping."

Tonks dragged Jax eagerly into the building. Jax stared at the small, hideous creatures behind the tall marble desks.

"Don't stare. They'll stare back," Lupin discreetly whispered into Jax's ear.

Jax immediately looked away. She instead chose a vase at the end of the hall to concentrate on. Tonks stopped in front of a goblin with glasses that resembled Dumbledore's. She leant in to the goblin, whispering something in his ear.

His eyes opened very wide, and stared at Jax. Jax looked away, not wanting to look at the goblin's gloomy, yellow eyes.

"Very well," the goblin squeaked.

He got down from the desk, a lamp and rather large set of keys in hand.

"Follow me."

He waved his hand in the direction of a large door at the end of the hall. Tonks instantly followed, yet Jax was having second thoughts about going. Lupin gave her a shove, making Jax fall forward and catch herself with her feet. She reluctantly followed Tonks, Lupin right on her tail.

The goblin led the three to a cart, and handed the set of keys to Lupin, and the lamp to Tonks. He pushed forward a lever, and the cart started to move. It continued along the dark, gloomy tracks in what seemed to be a cave. The cart abruptly stopped, and the goblin got out.

"Lamp!" he demanded.

Tonks handed him the lamp. He hobbled over to the vault door, and held his hand out behind him.

"Key!"

Lupin gave the key to the goblin, keeping an eye on Jax at all times.

The goblin placed the key into the door, and kept twisting it until a loud 'click' rang throughout the cave. The door swung open, revealing a large pile of gold coins. Jax's eyes widened, as did Tonks'. Lupin, though, wasn't too surprised. He was quite aware of Lily and James' rather large fortune.

Jax instinctually got out of the cart and immediately wrapped her arms around herself. The cold air suddenly consumed her; making her body shiver and teeth clatter.

"Jax, go and help yourself. But don't take too much, or your brother will notice," Tonks warned.

Lupin chuckled at Tonks' remark. As if Harry would notice something like that. Jax walked over to Tonks and took the small pouch she held out to her. She walked into the vault, looking over her shoulder and making sure the door didn't close behind her. Jax picked a handful of money up and felt the cold coins slip through her fingers as they fell into the pouch. She repeated this twice more, and closed the bag when she felt satisfied. She turned to Tonks and Lupin, who were patiently waiting, and nodded; indicating that she was ready.

"Okay, onto Olivanders!" Lupin's voice rang.

Jax kept her hands tightly closed on the pouch as she got back onto the cart, scooting closer to Tonks so the lamp could keep her warm. Lupin handed over his dragon-skin coat to Jax; she took it with much appreciation.

The cart ride back was much shorter than the way there. Jax quickly got out of the cart, and ran through the doors; restless to see sunlight again. She impatiently waited for Lupin and Tonks and they thanked the goblin and passed him a coin as a tip.

"Can we GO, please?" Jax said.

"Yes, yes. Let's get a move on."

Jax handed Lupin's coat back to him, anxious to get the smell of dragon hide away from her before it got too attached.

The trio walked down the long hallway of the building, Lupin giving the goblin one last tip of his bowler. Jax hurriedly walked out the doors, which were opened for her by two goblins in red suits.

"Thank you," Tonks said loudly, trying to get a point across to Jax.

"Thanks," Jax muttered.

Lupin lead the two down a sidewalk, two young boys almost knocking him down as they tried to catch an orange cat.

"I never want to go back in there again!" Jax exclaimed. "They all just stared at me like I was some huge freak! And if there was anyone to call a freak in there, it would certainly be them!"

"Calm down, Jax! It wasn't that terrible!" Tonks said.

"Hmmph," Jax huffed.

She continued to walk with her arms crossed and eyes staring at the ground, trying to avoid eye contact with anybody else. She stuck out like a sore thumb in the crowd; everyone else was wearing wizard's robes. She was the only one in street clothes. She also took notice of everyone's shoes, having always wondered if witches really did have those pointy shoes with silver buckles. They didn't.

"Oof!" Jax said, as she ran into Lupin's back.

"Might want to watch out next time," Lupin mentioned as he looked down to a flushed Jax.

"Sorry."

"Don't be. Now let's go in before I freeze to death."

Lupin pushed open a door, and they were greeted by a loud 'clang' of a bell at the top of the door. Jax felt the warmth of the roaring fire nearby, and became very relaxed.

"Mr. Ollivander?" Lupin yelled.

He stepped behind a desk and peered down a long, dusty hallway.

"Mr. Ollivander!" Lupin yelled again, looking down the opposite corridor.

"Not so loud, Remus, or you might wake sleeping people in China."

Jax saw a wrinkled old man come from behind Lupin. He resembled Einstein in some ways, his hair especially.

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander. So wonderful to see you again."

"My pleasure, Remus. But what are you doing here? I thought I warned you about misplacing your wand!"

"Oh, no, Mr. Ollivander. We're here to get a wand for Jax."

Lupin looked to Jax, who had taken a seat on the dusty floor next to the hearth. Mr. Ollivander's eyes grew wide, and shook his head as if he was hallucinating.

"But... I thought Dumbledore had decided..."

Mr. Ollivander looked to Lupin in disbelief.

"Dumbledore decided different. We need a wand, please."

Lupin looked to Jax, who hadn't been paying attention.

"Jax? Could you come here?"

Jax quickly turned to Lupin as he said her name, just like a dog would. Lupin motioned for her to rise, and reluctantly she got up and walked over to him.

"Jax, meet Mr. Ollivander."

Jax stuck her hand out over the counter, Mr. Ollivander taking it slowly, still in disbelief.

"Nice to meet you, Sir."

"You also, dear," Mr. Ollivander finally spoke.

He quickly turned to the rows and shelves of wand boxes behind him. He looked over the boxes, muttering to himself while doing it. He picked a few boxes from the shelves, and turned to place them on the counter, when he dropped them all on the floor as if he had just realized something. He briskly walked over and picked a box that had been sitting on the shelf alone.

"Try this one," he said to Jax as he opened the box and gestured for her to take it.

Jax stared at it for a moment, and looked to Lupin for reassurance. He nodded, also gesturing for her to take it.

Jax moved her right hand to the box, and it hovered above it for a moment. She advanced it, but drew back. She took a deep breath and grabbed the wand out of the box. The area around her started to glow in some sort of way, and she felt a rush of wind overtake her. She fell down, her scar starting to hurt like heck.

"OW!" she started to scream.

She put her hands to her head and started to roll on the ground in pain. She felt a white hot pain form on her scar. Lupin rushed down to the ground and picked her up in his arms.

"Jax! Jax!"

Suddenly the pain all whisked away, and her hands left her head. She looked around in bewilderment, and then to Lupin, who was suspending her three feet in the air.

"Wha- Are you-"

"I- I'm fine."

Lupin cautiously put her down.

"What happened?"

"My scar. It- oops."

She stopped when she saw Mr. Ollivander staring at her out of the corner of her eye. She remembered what Lupin had warned her earlier that morning.

"No- go ahead. Its fine," Lupin said, seeing the concern on her face.

"It just started to hurt like hell the minute I touched the wand."

"Perfect!" Ollivander exclaimed.

"What do you mean, Sir? I'm not doing magic with a wand that is going to cause me pain every time I touch it."

Mr. Ollivander chuckled.

"Darling, that was just your wand's way of telling you that it was the one for you. I've had many different experiences- like when your father, James, came in here for his wand; it picked him up four feet in the air and dropped him on the hard ground! You can't exactly explain wands, really- they're quite odd. But I can tell yours likes you."

Jax arched her eyebrow at Mr. Ollivander. She walked over to where she had dropped her wand and carefully picked it up. She cringed, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did.

"Okay," Jax sighed. "I guess he's right."

"Of course I'm right, darling."

Mr. Ollivander took the wand from her hand and placed it back in the box.

"Mr. Ollivander, if I may ask, what is the wand made of?" Lupin questioned.

"12 inch, cedar, unicorn hair. It suits her perfectly."

"Unicorn hair? Isn't that very rare in wands?"

"Oh, yes. Very much so. But she's a rare witch, isn't she?" Ollivander questioned without looking up.

Lupin smiled.

"Yes. I would say so."

Jax smiled back. Mr. Ollivander handed her her wand.

"Professor, I don't know how much to pay him."

"Oh! Of course."

Lupin took the bag that held Jax's money in it and handed the man several coins.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ollivander. And, if you could keep this a secret, that would be wonderful."

"You know secrets are always safe with me, Remus."

All Lupin did was smile, and looked at Jax.

"Thank you, Sir."

"You're very much welcome, Miss Potter."

"Bye!"

Lupin and Jax walked out of the store, when Jax realized that Tonks wasn't with them.

"Professor, where's Tonks?"

"Tonks is right here!"

Jax heard Tonks' voice call out to them from behind. Jax spun around to see Tonks holding a stack of books in her right hand, and in her left, a brand new Nimbus 3000.

"OHMIGOSH!"

Jax ran over to Tonks and attacked her with a hug, and grabbed her broom as she pulled back. Various people turned to stare at the scene Jax was making; but she didn't mind.

"Thank you so much!"

Jax hugged a surprised Tonks again, as Lupin smiled from behind.

"Happy birthday, Jax."

Lupin came over and patted her on the shoulder. She looked up and wrapped her arms around his torso, giving him a hug also.

"Oh, so sentimental."

Tonks smiled at the two.

"Come on, we have to get your robes, Jax!"

"Okay. Can I try my broom later?"

"Of course! But we still have some things to pick up."

Lupin led the two girls; both of them fussing over Jax's new broom; to Madam Malkin's Robes.

He made Jax lay her broom by the door, and stayed with it and her books as she and Tonks headed over to try on robes.

"Okay, you're going to mostly need black robes, 'k?"

"Um... okay."

"Maybe one or two dress robes... I actually try to avoid wearing robes, myself. But Dumbledore insisted me wearing them today since I was on 'official' business. Euugh!"

Jax wasn't paying attention to Tonks; she had taken a certain interest in a deep blue robe with white stars. She picked it up from the rack and fingered it, admiring the fabric.

"You like that one? It'd be a good dress selection."

"Yeah. I like it. Can I get this one?"

"Certainly! Um... here."

Tonks looked around for some place to hang the ones they had chosen. She didn't see anywhere, so she pulled out her wand.

"Windgardium Leviosa," Tonks muttered.

The robe levitated a couple of inches from the ground, and stayed. Jax looked at it, getting to see a complete view.

"It's beautiful!" Jax exclaimed.

"It'll look even better on you," Tonks praised. "We have to get your other ones- here."

She walked over to a rack full of plain, black robes. She picked up a medium size.

"Try these two on," she lifted the charm off of the blue robe.

Tonks draped the black around her, adjusting it in different places. Jax turned around, adjusting it also.

"Awesome! That looks amazing on you."

Jax blushed.

"They're just plain robes, Tonks."

"Yeah, but they don't look plain on you."

Jax smiled, still red.

"Okay, so can I try on the blue one now?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Tonks took the black one off of Jax and put on the blue one. Jax adjusted it herself, and then stepped back so Tonks could get a better view.

"Oh, Merlin! It looks fantastic on you!"

"Is there a mirror or something I can look at myself in?"

"Yeah, over there."

Tonks pointed to a long mirror at the back of the shop, around the boys' robes. Jax wandered towards the mirror as Tonks started to find more black robes. Jax found the mirror, and started admiring herself in it. Tonks was right; she looked awesome. For once, Jax actually looked like a witch. And that was exactly how she wanted to look.

Jax turned around and started to head in Tonks' direction. She stared at a deep green robe in the boys' section. She wondered about how good it would look on Harry.

"Oof!"

Jax ran into something soft. She looked up, and met the eyes of the most gorgeous boy she had ever seen. He had piercing blue eyes and pale yellow hair.

"Watch it!" the boy hissed.

"I'm so sorry.... I wasn't paying attention to where I was going..."

"Well, isn't that obvious?"

"I said I was sorry."

Jax tried to walk around the boy, wanting to not continue the conversation. He blocked her, and as she stepped in the opposite direction, he blocked her there.

"Would you please let me pass?"

"Not until I get your name."

Jax gave him a disgusted face. Like she would ever go out with a guy as stuck up as him. Even if he was a god.

"I don't think so."

She tried to get away once more, but he was too quick. He held out a hand and gave her a grin.

"Draco Malfoy."

She sighed, and she thought she might as well be nice. She took his hand and introduced herself.

"Jax Pierce."

He let go, and leaned against the wall, leaving a clear path for her to leave. But she was now under his spell, and she wouldn't leave. He was good, the bastard.

"Seriously? Hmm... I probably could have mistaken you for a Potter. Same black hair, facial structure.... Not that I pay much attention to Potter's looks."

Jax felt flips going on in her stomach. Was it that easy to tell?

"But... Harry Potter doesn't have any siblings."

"True. I thought maybe a cousin or something. Oh well. Where do you go to school? Durmstrang? Beauxbatons?"

"Umm... Hogwarts. I just transferred here."

"Really? What year?"

"Sixth. You?"

"Same. Now I find you not being a Potter a good thing... I can ask you out."

The spell was broken. Like she would ever do something as stupid as that.

"Uhh... that's okay. But thank you. It was kind to offer."

"Kind? A Malfoy is never kind, may I say. However, we can be generous at times."

"Right. I have to get going. I'll see you next week, perhaps."

"You can bet on it."

He winked, and walked over to the mirror and admired his new robes. Jax walked away, and found that Tonks had already paid.

"Thank God. Let's get out of here."

"Okay. What took you so long?" Tonks asked, as the two started towards the door.

"Nothing. Just some guy," Jax replied.

A/N: Could there be something stirring up between a Malfoy and a... POTTER? Nah, you wouldn't find out until later chapters anyway... hehe. So, REVIEW, PLEASE!!
