Chapter 2: Alexa Lestrange
Begin Chapter
'Hermione' grinned at the way the house was built. 'Hmm,' She wondered. 'Where are the dungeons?' She walked into a dark room, searching for a torch to light or a match to strike a candle. She found a light switch. The room was painted a dark purple and was small, almost like a child's room. A newspaper lay on the floor.
Bellatrix Lestrange Found Dead
The scheduled invasion of the Lestrange Manor proved a failure as the Aurors stumbled over the dead body of Bellatrix Lestrange found in her room. A few autopsies were done to figure out her way of death, but as of now, Aurors believe that Lestrange was killed in a combat. The Lestranges were a believed Death Eater family, and were believed to have a two year old child. But no one could find her in the Manor. The inset below, was taken at the scene. It shows Lestrange with a blow to the head. For further insight on the article, turn to page--
'Hermione' wasn't interested in more about it. A child? Of Bellatrix Lestrange? She looked around the room. It was the same room in which the photo was taken. Suddenly, from another door in the room, a little girl emerged. She was in a purple dress, innocently clutching on to a doll, her brown hair done in two pigtails with purple and silver ribbons through her hair. She looked up at her with grey eyes.
"Mummy?" She asked softly. 'Hermione' smiled and crouched down to the girl.
"What's your name, darling?" She asked softly.
"Alexandria." She said softly. "But my mummy calls me Ria." Taking her by the hand, 'Hermione' pulled her towards the room where she had left Tom. Walking in, he looked up at her.
"Ria." He said, the girl nodding towards her.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just mummy's here now, isn't she?" Ria asked him.
"Yes, Ria. Now, can you make you way back to your room?" Ria nodded.
"Bye mummy." 'Hermione' turned to him.
"Who is she?"
"First, I'll explain who you are. You are a part of Bellatrix Lestrange. That's why you look like that. You only have half of your real self, the other half is in someone else. Alexa is the mind child of the real you and a Death Eater's son who was forcefully given by his father. A mind child is a child created by the DNA of two given people and put in someone else's womb. Bellatrix Lestrange held her, and you look like her, so she thinks you are her mother." 'Hermione' nodded.
Walking slowly into her room, she thought intently about Alexandria. 'She had been in the article, but how come they couldn't find her?'
She dressed for a nap, as she was feeling a bit tired when her head felt dizzy.
"Let me out!" She felt her real self scream. The clock on the wall revealed 8:30, and it was dark outside. 'Hermione' clutched her head.
"No! You can't!" She felt herself changing slowly. The black hair she had come to get used to disappeared, as her curly caramel locks came into place, covering her dark brown eyes.
"Finally." Hermione said, stretching her limbs. She concentrated enough and let Bella, her name for the other subconscious, through a bit. Her hair turned black, but Bella had no control over her.
She sat at the dining table with Riddle, refusing to look up in the fact that her eyes were still brown. He rambled on about something or other, but she didn't seem to care very much about it. She was thinking about Alexandria.
'Mind child? Really now, I wonder who Alexa's father really is. Riddle said something about a Death Eater's son. Isn't that ironic, another half-blood in the house?'
By the time dinner was finished, it was 9:45. She had to get out. Forcing Bella out of her, she draped the hood of her black cloak over her head and crept out of her room. She tried to remember where Alexa's room was. She was going to visit someone.
She had found the room, but Alexa was sleep. Carefully, without waking her, she picked the girl up in her arms and carried her to the front door. Hermione slowly turned the brass knob, wincing at the creaking noises it was making.
Walking down the cobblestone path in the front yard, Hermione apparated away. The apparition guards around the place forbid her to do it on the grounds.
She found herself in front of the tall black Order building. Stepping inside, she walking up a few stairs, towards the rooms of the only two people she could tell about herself. Harry and Draco.
Harry was sitting up in the dark.
"I hear something. Malfoy, wake up!" He said, pushing the Slytherin, jolting him awake.
"What?" He asked, moodily.
"I hear something.." Harry watched as the door opened. He grabbed for his wand, but then heard 'Harry, don't!' in a soft voice.
"It's me." The hood of the cloak dropped, as the face was revealed.
"Hermione? You're alive! It's really you!" Harry said, hugging her. She smiled.
"Look, guys, I can't be here for long. I--" Draco interrupted her.
"Who's that?" He asked, pointing in reverence to the girl in Hermione's arms.
"Alexa. A mind child. Riddle created her from me, and some Death Eater's son, he says. She was Bellatrix Lestrange's until she died. Well, that's who my other self is! Bellatrix's soul is in my body, well, half of it. My other half is in there. Well, let me explain."
"My soul was split in half by the spell you two saw Riddle place on me. One half left, the other stayed. That was when Bellatrix's soul came in and my appearance changed. This girl, Alexa, is a mind child. Just like a real one, except the parents are chosen and just a sample of DNA can make one. I am the mother of this child, even though Bellatrix was carrying her."
"So, the father could be any free range Death Eater's son?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded.
"I can't stay." She said, looking at the clock to see she had sat here until midnight.
" I promise I'll be back, and we can find a way to get out of here. I promise you both that I won't give up." She said, hugging Harry and, much to his surprise, Draco too.
"Alright Hermione. Please be careful." Harry said, ruffling Alexa's dark brown hair as he studied her.
"Bye. Oh, and Harry. You can't tell anyone I've been here. Riddle will suspect something. But tell Dumbledore. That's all. Can't have too many people knowing." She said, shifting Alexa and waved goodbye to the two.
She opened thedoor to the Manor, letting Bella take her back over as she placed Alexa in her room.
Bella rubbed her head. She couldn't believe she had let the little girl out again! Sighing, she slid under her covers.
'I hope Harry and Draco find me.' Hermione thought.
'I hope the never do.' Bella thought back, before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Tom stepped out of her room. Bella would have some explaining to do later on...

Explanations
1. Alright, if you don't understand the soul switch thing, here it goes. Hermione has two chocolate cookies. Bellatrix has two muffins. Riddle took one of Hermione's cookies and gave it to Bellatrix, and took one of Bellatrix's muffins and gave it to Hermione. Bellatrix ate both the cookie and the muffin. So, Hermione can either eat the cookie first, or the muffin first. There.
2. Mind child. As for that, it's like this. Death Eater's son gives Riddle a hair. Riddle takes Hermione hair. He put them together in a Polyjuice Potion to make a fake child from the both of them, but gives it to Bellatrix, so she can have it as a normal one.
3. Bella is the evil Hermione. I have, at the beginning of the chapter, called her 'Hermione'. So, Bella is evil, Hermione isn't.
