Chapter 7

"Dumbledore! She is supposed to be with ME! Alexsis should go live with ME! I'm her only living relative left! So what if Jane didn't actually appoint me as Alexsis's godmother! I'm the closest she's got!"

"I will do no such thing Jenus. Jane and Marivian appointed Alexsis under my care. Now leave here Jenus, I do not want Alexsis to be awoken. She has went through to much lately and needs her rest."

But it was too late. I was awake.

"Ughnnrr.." Was probably what I would've said if my throat didn't feel like it was on fire. That and my face was was in a pillow.

But that's not the worse.

My back felt like a thousand white-hot knives were repeatedly stabbing it. I had to stay completely still. I was even to breathe softer.

My eyes felt like my back. They hurt so much that I couldn't even cry.

'What happened to me?' My head felt so cloudy. It's like the wires in my head weren't connecting.

'Dumble..dore…that sounds familiar..some how..but I don't..know..where I heard it..'

Then it all came back to me. My parents, Adam, Hagrid, Dumbledore, and..the transformation.

'So this is what Dumbledore meant 'bout my eyes being very sensitive. Sensitive doesn't even begin to cover it.' The voices in the room continued to argue.

"Don't tell me when to leave! I'll leave whenever I damn well please!"

'Who is this lady!' The voice was feminine, dripping with hate perhaps, but still feminine. 'I have to do something to get their attention. If they don't stop my head's gonna implode!'

I slowly attempted to move my left arm only resulting in a severe pain making me hiss quietly in pain; but I kept trying.

Finally I swept my arm off the bed, knocking something over in the process. The noisy sound of shattering glass got their attention.

I think. The voices had stopped and that was enough for me.

"Alexsis? Are you wake?" Dumbledore's footsteps came closer to my bed. 'Whoah. Wait, how did I know it was Dumbledore from his footsteps!'

My only reply was, "Mmhmmp..". Dumbledore took my incoherent response as a yes and called for Madam Pomfrey.

"Dear, we will have to inject the potion into your back, because we can not flip you over so you can take it by mouth."

'NO! Noooooo! Not the back!' But the nurse had already stabbed me with a syringe.

"MMMRYMPH!" My hands grasped the pillows as tight as I could.

All of sudden the immense pain was gone.

I turned over, eyes still closed. "Turn off the lights.." My voice was hoarse. 'Ow..'

The red light behind my eyelids dimmed so I opened them. 'Ahh…so much better.'

"OHH Alexsis! You're okay! My sweet Alley-poo!" The lady ran over to my bed, consuming me in a bone-crushing hug. "I was so so so worried! SO worried!"

I raked the stranger's black curls away from my face so I breathe and so I was able to say, "Who the hell are you!"

The woman straightened up. "I'm your aunt."

You know, in these kind of situations, you would probably say, 'Oh auntie, we missed you last holiday!' or some stuff of the sort. But this is where I get suspicious.

I don't have an aunt.

Dumbledore grabbed my 'aunt' by the forearm and practically dragged her outside.

"Minerva, take this woman outside."

"Yes Dumbledore."

"NOOOOO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS! ALLLEEYYY-POOOO!" By this time, my eye was twitching.

And my ears and head were pounding. It sounded like she was right beside me, screaming like a freakin' banshee.

The wails ceased as I assumed she was gone. Crazy lady has left da buildin'!

"Er..Dumbledore..who was that? 'Cause I don't have an aunt." I could tell that he was still angry even though it seemed to be dark.

"I will talk to you about it later, but first there's something I need to do."

Does anyone besides me think this guy postpones talking to me A LOT?

"Like what things?"

"Things like have four years of schooling inside your cramped head."

"Oh….wait!" Dumbledore smiled wickedly.

"So, the gramps here thinks he can make a joke 'bout my head eh?"

"Ooh, don't call me 'gramps' Alexsis. It makes me feel old."

"Don't call Alexsis. People only use it when I'm in trouble."

"Touché."

"So, can we get back to the thing you were talking 'bout?"

"Yes of course." Dumbledore put on his serious yet amused face on.

"It would be very suspicious if you came to school in your fifth year and you didn't have enough knowledge to do a simple 'lumos' spell.."

Until then I was nodding my head like I understood everything. "A lucas spell?"

He gave a laugh. "No no. A l-u-m-o-s spell. It lights the tip of your wand so you can see in dark areas."

"You're right. I DO need a lot of studying. Do I have enough time? Enough for me to pass as a 'fifth year'?"

Dumbledore shook his head amused. "No, I don't believe you'll have enough time to study.."

"Why not?" 'Didn't I have 'bout three weeks?'

"Because Alexsis, the students are coming in two days. You have been unconscious for a long time. " I waved my fist at him threateningly.

"You used my full name again. You know, you should be careful going down those stairs…don't want to fall and break a hip.."

"Ah..you wouldn't do such a thing..wait heh heh..maybe you would.."

"Okay, so how are we gonna do this thing?"

"Follow me to my office if you will." He beckoned me forward.

I moved over to the edge of the bed then got off, unfortunately..

"Ahh..oww."

I had lost the feeling in my legs and had fallen into a painful heap.

"Here Al." A wheelchair appeared beside me.

"Yay! I love these things!" I spun around. 'But wait..'

"How am I supposed to get upstairs?"

"You'll see." He walked out of the ward.

I noticed that all the torches had been extinguished making the throbbing in my head subside a bit.

We came to the stairs. My chair lifted up and floated along the stairs as we came to his office.

'Neat-o.'

I landed in his office. "Okay this is going to painful a bit, but it will submit the knowledge of the four years you were gone into your head so you'll be able to recall any information that would come up in a class."

Before I could reply he whipped out his wand, poked it at my forehead, and said "Resegneises informacias."

I fell out of my chair clutching my head.

"Owwww…..you suck."

Dumbledore just laughed.

I took out my wand.

"Lumos."
