Draco and Harry hadn't left the infirmary all night. Neither patient had awoken and it was only by threats from Buffy that they left to change and have some breakfast.
They still had no idea who the blonde was, they wouldn't be able to find out until she had awoken. The suspense was killing Draco. He was hoping, praying, it was her. And if it wasn't, well it would feel like he was losing her all over again.
The thought really gave him no appetite so he decided to skip breakfast and stayed in his room talking to Rozaleane the girl in the portrait that guarded his room She asked him about his classes for the year when he realised he had get his class schedule from The Great Hall. Grabbing his stuff and with a hurried good bye to Roz, he left.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Someone was watching as he left the room. There was something about him. Something familiar. Something that the one who watched couldn't quite put a finger on but a lot of things were fuzzy at the moment. Remembering was a big issue at the moment. So far, all she got was she was a female and she was a little freaked out. Everything was weird. Pictures were moving, there was no electricity, and the whole place was just... freaky. Were pictures supposed to move? Was there no such thing as electricity? But there would have to be if she remembered it. Yes, everything was just freaky.
So she did the only thing she could think of, she followed the boy that struck something inside her. Maybe he knew her but something stopped her from rushing forward. So she stayed behind in the shadows as he went to the place with the sky that wasn't actually a sky. She woke up there many hours ago and stared at it, fascinated by the sunshine that wasn't warming her.
The teen-age boy walked inside but she heard the noise level in there and dared not to follow. Until she got more information she wasn't showing herself. Not that she felt threatened. To be honest she felt perfectly fine, except for a little piece in her that seemed to be missing. Her memory maybe? But no, she felt it was something more. She couldn't understand what it meant.
She grew tired of referring to herself as 'She.' She wanted to give herself a name. Something, anything in case she did meet someone and they talked to her. She didn't want to look stupid. Thinking hard, she grasped the first name that came to her mind. 'Lynne.' She thought to herself. 'I want to call myself Lynne.'
Lynne was brought out of her thoughts as the door opened and that blonde guy, followed by a guy with black hair, two burnette girls, one with bushy hair, and two red heads, one guy and one girl. Power was coming off of all of them and this also struck something inside of her. The same pang of familiarity hit her but she still couldn't get a firm grasp on it.
Speeding up, she followed them down to what looked like a hospital wing and watched as they all entered.
Something began tugging at her mind, pulling her in there. So Lynne silently opened the door and quietly entered, watching the group huddling over a bed. Beside that bed was another that was occupied by a man with black hair. He didn't seem familiar to her at all.
The group she had followed there now included an old man with long white hair and a long white beard, power was coming off of him in waves. A petite blonde woman and a man with hair the same shade as the boy she had been following. Both emanated power in their own way. The man sent a tingle up her spine. There was something odd about him, but again these three brought out something familiar,
Lynne wanted to see what was on the bed. She knew it held the key to something important but she did not dare to move forward for fear of being seen.
Then the red headed boy moved aside and she could see what was on the bed. It looked up and stared right back at her. Something jolted in her as Lynne held their gaze. The missing piece had fallen in place.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Draco had practically ran to the hospital as soon as he heard the girl had awoken. He was followed of course by the usual gang and entered to see Buffy, Spike, and Dumbledore already there. Immediately he was at the bedside, grasping her hand.
"Alexa?" He asked, looking into her eyes. It had to be her, he felt it. It just had to be.
She cocked her head as she gave him a quizzical look.
"Is that my name then? It's what they keep calling me."
"You don't remember?" he asked looking deflated.
She shook her head. "No, I'm sorry."
She had no idea who these people were or who she was. There was a sense of familiarity about them all and they kept calling her Alexa... So maybe that's who she was.
"Great. Just great." Draco swore, turning around. "We have no idea if this is really her."
"I'm sorry." The girl's lower lip trembled. "I'm trying, really I am."
Immediately Draco turned around. "No, no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."
"What about Sirius? Did he wake up yet? Maybe he could help." Harry suggested.
Everyone shook their head.
"This didn't happen to you ,when you came back." Spike pointed out to Buffy.
"I was very disoriented but they were very different circumstances." Buffy shrugged.
"When what happened?" The girl asked. Although they were talking very quietly, she heard every word they were saying. "When you came back from where? Where did I come from?"
Everyone looked nervous, unsure of how to answer her. They all shifted on their feet and Ron stepped to one side.
The girl on the bed looked up at that moment and noticed someone else who was standing there at the back of the room. She peered closer and their eyes locked. Something clicked into place.
"Oh my god." She whispered.
Harry looked at her and smiled. "This has to be Alexa, that was her favorite expression. She always...." He trailed off as he turned in the direction that everyone was looking at.
"I'm gonna take a wild guess and they these are the actual two warriors." Whispered Dawn.
Harry nodded, shocked at what he was seeing.
Ron leaned towards Hermione. "Now how are we going to tell them apart?"
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Everyone stared at the two girls who were locked in some kind of staring contest, oblivious to those around them.
"I know you." The one standing whispered as she stepped towards the bed.
"I feel the same way."
"Anyone else getting the major wiggins?" Dawn asked.
Immediately, everyone's hand shot up, including the two girls.
"Do you have a name?" Buffy asked
The one standing, nervously chewed her bottom lip before answering. "Lynne, my name is Lynne."
Everyone turned to her. Including Draco. He had been so sure the one on the bed had been Alexa. But Lynne was Alexa's middle name. In fact she had used it at the beginning of last year when she tried to hide her true identity.
"Is that really your name or was it something you chose?" Dumbledore asked, watching her closely.
The girl looked down. "I-I made it up. It was the first thing I thought of."
"I see." Dumbledore replied.
Lynne looked back up at them, confusion lighting up her features. "you sound like you know us but you don't know who is who."
Dumbledore conjured up a mirror and handed it to her.
"Holy shit." She whispered, staring down at the mirror, then looking up at the other girl before repeating the process over many times.
"What?" The girl on the bed finally asked.
Lynne handed the mirror over and watched as the girl did the exact same thing.
"We're twins." They exclaimed at the same time.
"That was freaky." Buffy said watching them.
"Why?" They both asked, turning to her and tilting their heads to one side in perfect sync.
"Ack, stop it." Buffy replied.
"How come we don't remember anything or each other?" Lynne asked. "you all seem very familiar to me but I can't remember a thing."
"I feel the same way." The one on the bed seconded.
"Why would we seem familiar to both?" Dawn asked. "We only knew Alexa."
"What are you talking about?" Asked Lynne. She seemed content to do all the talking. "Why would you only know one of us. I think it's time for some answers."
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Perhaps you should sit down, Ms. Conners."
"That's my last name?"
"Both of your, actually." He replied with a smile.
When everyone was sitting, Dumbledore continued.
"A little over a year ago, your family was killed, murdered. Only one of you escaped."
"Which one?" The one on the bed asked.
Buffy gave her a look. "If we knew that, we wouldn't be having this little identity crisis now would we?"
"No, the name." The other twin asked.
"Oh, Alexa."
"What happened to the other?"
Dumbledore came in here. "She met the same fate as the rest of the family."
"So one of us died and came back to life?" Lynne asked. "That seems a little- wait I remember something, a-a portal. That's how I got here last night. So maybe as weird as this all is, that's me."
"There's more. Alexa came here to Hogwarts, where eventually, she had to fulfill a prophecy and ended up dieing herself."
"Which brings us back to square one." Lynne said.
"Or not." Draco interrupted. "Have you listened to her talk?" He pointed to the one who had dubbed herself Lynne. "She sounds very canadianized. Listen to the other.' He looked at the one on the bed. "Say my name is Alexa Conners."
She obliged and you could hear the faintest tinge of a british accent in her speech.
"But." Hermione put in. "Whoever was with Sirius could have picked up from him. It seems very obvious that she-" She pointed to the one on the bed. "- Was with Sirius. She could have picked it up from him."
Everyone grew quiet.
"If I may suggest a few ways we could check." Dumbledore said. "Mr. Mal- Draco here, undoubtedly knows Alexa best. He may be able to tell. Also, we could try Alexa's wand."
Draco nodded and walked over to the twins. First looking at Lynne, then looking at the one on the bed. Something in him knew this was her. It just had to be. Looking at her like this just felt so right.
He gently leaned forward and touched his lips to hers. He pulled away and she stared dumbstruck.
"Anything?" He asked in a soft whisper, hoping it would help jog her memory.
"Maybe we should double check." She replied grabbing him and pulling him to her. Their lips met once more when the other twin, the one Draco thought was Kat, spoke up.
"Hey, that is so not cool, I'm Alexa."
