As soon as the four met up, Buffy hailed a taxi and they al piled, giggling as soon as the doors were closed.
"That was hilarious." Kat gasped out.
"That was bloody brilliant." Draco finally managed to say after several attempts. 'Where did Marie come form?"
"It's her-" Alexa began
"Lexi." Kat whined.
"What? If you're going to use my middle name, I'll use yours."
"Marie's your middle name?" Draco asked with a smirk.
"Shut up Drakie." Kat shot back. "You think you're so cool, what's your middle name?"
Draco's smile dropped. "It's umm Thomas."
"Thomas?" Kat guffawed. "You have this weird first name and you get stuck with Thomas for a middle name?"
Draco shrugged and turned to look out the window. "It's a family name." Damn, if only they knew what kind of family.
"So's ours." Alexa explained. "It's quite weird. We were name after our grandmother's. They took the first name of one and the middle name of the other. Alexandra Marianna, so I was Alexa and she was Marie. And the other was Katherine Alina. So she was Katarina and I was Lynne. See? Nifty, isn't it?"
"Quite interesting." Buffy said. "But guys, that was really awesome. You did good, all of you."
"For a second I thought I was busted." Alexa said with a shiver. "Not really too keen on spending the rest of my life in jail, 'specially when I just got it back."
"It was quick thinking on Drakie's part." Kat said with a teasing smile. "Good thing we're all blondes."
"Probably wouldn't have pulled it off unless Alexa started howling." Draco laughed after throwing a quick glare at Kat.
"What can I say?" Alexa drawled. "My acting skills are exquisite. Thank god Kat remembered to put on a British accent."
"After you left though, Buffy totally intimidated that guy. He was all scared and he was like a foot taller then her."
Buffy smiled. "If you're all done patting yourselves on the back, we're almost there."
The cab slowed and they all stumbled out.
"Lex?" Kat asked as they reached the front door. "What was that about anyways? Why was he saying all that stuff?"
Alexa let out a soft hiss, forgetting her sister had no clue about the crap she went through last year.
Buffy unlocked the door and Alexa grabbed her sister's hand, leading her to where she knew Draco's bedroom was and yelling back to the other two that she would be right back.
"That's not going to be an easy conversation." Buffy commented flopping down onto a couch.
"Don't suppose it would be." Draco answered back, sitting across from her.
"Draco." Buffy began hesitantly. "Does she know? That your last name is different. That Lucius wasn't your father."
Draco looked to the door the twins had just entered. "I don't know. She was watching us but she says a lot of things were fuzzy still and she hasn't mentioned anything about it."
"You gonna tell her?" Buffy asked.
Draco nodded. "I will I just don't know how yet."
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
"What's with all the hush hush?" Kat asked nervously as soon as Alexa had closed the door.
Alexa sighed "They know but I thought it would be better if you and I talk."
She walked over to Draco's dresser and began going through some of the trinkets of hers that he had.
"Well?" Kat prompted after several minutes of silence.
Alexa looked up. "This isn't easy, Kit Kat."
Kat stared at her sister. "You found everyone didn't you?" She didn't wait for an answer. "No one told me that. I thought you heard about it and then you were sent to England or something. I had no idea."
"I had just finished work and I came home to talk to you but the door was open. Right away I knew something was wrong but I still continued looking. I went into our room and saw your-" Alexa choked up here and had to clear her throat several times.
"That's where they found me." Kat quietly said. ""They took me by surprise and stabbed me. Thinking I was dead, they went to look for you. But I guess they came across everyone else. I stumbled into Mom and Dad's room where they were holding them all. James and dad were already... gone. I jumped on one of them an they knocked me off and slit my throat."
Both girls were crying now and Kat urged her sister to continue.
"I must've come soon after. I walked into their room. They had mom and she told me to run, then they killed her. So I did run. I ran faster then ever but they chased me and I was barely able to escape. I had grabbed mom's purse so I hopped on the first flight, which was to England. I hid out, scared as hell, then I discovered that the police were looking for me. First they thought I was dead as well but why not with you guys? They never saw a body. Then they thought I was kidnapped but there wasn't a note. So they figured I did it or was an accomplice. You don't know how awful that was. I was going through hell without you guys.
"I decided to stay hidden and I dyed my hair black, used my blue contacts and went by my middle name. But one day, I had to leave the motel room I was hiding in and it think some guy recognized me. I freaked and by magic made all these jars fall down in front of him and I ran from the store, running into Harry. He helped me escape and I ended up at Hogwarts."
Kat pulled her sister into a hug. "I'm so sorry you had to go through all that." She whispered.
They held each other as they broke out into fresh sobs.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Forty-five minutes later, the twins left Draco's room with all of Alexa's stuff.
"You girls ready?" Buffy asked, trying her best to ignore their red eyes and swollen cheeks.
The twins nodded.
"We're going by Floo." Buffy continued.
Alexa groaned. "Can't I apparate there?"
"No, you don't have a license."
"Can't I just run over to the ministry and get my license."
Buffy gave her a look. "Yes, Alexa run over to the Ministry and show them that you're not only alive but able to apparate after being alive only for half a day. What you did last year was illegal and Dumbledore will look after everything else, like telling people you are back again."
"You know what, Buffy?" Draco spoke up. "Think I'll apparate over and me you there."
Alexa glared at him. "Rub it in why don't you?"
He smirked at her.
"Okay so what's Floo?" Kat asked, confused.
Alexa explained the whole concept to her and Kat had the same reaction as she did last summer. Kat fell to the ground laughing until she realized that they were in fact, serious.
"Here." Alexa said, pushing Draco forward. "Draco will show you how it's done."
Draco grabbed some Floo powder and threw it in the fireplace, yelling out his destination. He was gone in a flurry of green flames.
"That was so cool." Kat exclaimed, stepping forward.
She didn't wait for Alexa to say anything, just grabbed some Floo powder and did the exact same as Draco, laughing as the flames engulfed her.
"I swear, she is so weird, so you or me?" Alexa asked Buffy.
"You go." Buffy told her. "I have some things to finish up."
Alexa nodded and took some Floo powder, yelling out her room at Hogwarts as she was also engulfed in the flames.
She discovered that traveling by Floo still sucked and still made her sick. Then it was over and she was being tossed onto her common room floor. She tucked into a roll before gracefully springing to her feet.
"Now that was pretty cool too." She heard Kat say.
Alexa turned to her sister only to be greeted by a big crowd of people.
"Surprise." Everyone shouted.
Alexa broke into a big grin. "What's this?"
"Your birthday party." Harry said. "Well yours and Kat. Happy 17th."
Alexa smiled sheepishly. "I missed your again, huh?"
Harry waved it aside. "I think I can let it go."
She smiled. "Thank you."
She looked around to see most of the Gryffindors there along with a few others from other houses. With the exception of Draco, there was no other Slytherins there. Not that she expected them to be. She also saw Spike, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape at the back.
"Thank you so much, all of you." She called out. "I know it seemed weird seeing not only me but my sister Kat back from the dead. Thanks for making it easier for us."
Everyone clapped and somewhere music was started. Everyone then began talking, dancing, or snacking. Taking turns to come up to the twins and welcome them back. Many telling Alexa they had missed her and were glad she wasn't evil, referring to her time as a spy.
Alexa introduced Kat to everyone and eventually left her with some people she seemed to enjoy chatting with. She was exhausted and needed to sit down. She sat on a chair in a corner and closed her eyes.
"Not out there being the life of the party?" A voice asked.
She opened her eyes to see Snape conjuring up a chair and sitting beside her.
"No, I thought that was more your thing." She replied with a sickenly sweet smile.
Snape scowled.
"Good to see some things haven't changed." She remarked.
"It has only been six months, Ms. Conners, not six years."
"Well thank god you're using my last name again. Got to tell you that really freaked me out."
"There are two of you now, I might have to revert to that."
"So have you met Kat yet?"
"I must say, I haven't had the, what do you say, pleasure?"
Alexa snorted. "Good luck with that one. You think I'm bad, she's worse."
Snape slowly nodded. "There does seem to be many differences between you two."
"Yeah? Like what?"
"It is obvious the other Ms. Conners is more outgoing."
"That's an understatement."
The two turned to watch Kat as she chatted up a group of people.
"She'll do well here." Alexa quietly said.
"And you?" Snape asked.
Alexa turned to glare at him. "Have you been taking lessons from Professor Dumbledore?"
Snape raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.
"He always seems to know something is going on. You seem to as well."
Snape shook his head. "He does seem to know everything. As for me, I'm just aware of others who seem to be disturbed by something dark. As much as I hate to ask, would you care to tell?"
Alexa smiled. "That sounded almost convincing. Tell me Professor, what has happened to you with Voldy moldy?"
Snape smirked. "It is out now, about me being a spy and I have been hiding out here all summer. It seems I have lost my edge with some students as a downside."
"And why are you here? Never thought to see you partying with the students."
Snape gave a small shrug. "Someone has to make sure that nothing becomes out of hand."
Alexa nodded, not completely convinced. Snape stood up.
"Also Ms. Conners, last year, I received a letter from someone special. It gave me hope, made me see that not all was lost."
Before Alexa could reply, Snape turned and walked out, his capes billowing behind him.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
"Was that Snape having a civilized conversation?"
Alexa looked up to see Ron and Hermione in front of her.
"Hey guys, how are you?" she asked with a big smile.
"We're good, Alexa, you?" Hermione asked.
"Not too shabby, having fun?"
They both nodded.
"Thanks for the party, it was really nice of you all." Alexa told them.
"Not everyday a girl turns 17." Hermione told her.
Alexa smiled as she had said the same thing to Sirius the night before.
"Was Snape really just talking to you nicely?" Ron asked.
"Yes Ron, Snape is actually pretty cool."
"You are joking right? Are you sure you are Alexa?"
"No and yes. Last year with the whole spy thing, he helped me out. He was pretty cool."
Ron and Hermione stared in shock.
"It's true." Alexa told them.
"Hey." Harry said coming up to them. "What's going on?"
"Alexa was just telling us that Snape was nice and cool." Ron explained.
Harry gaped. "Are you serious?"
"Yes." Replied an exasperated Alexa. "It's not that hard to believe."
"I think it is but that's not why I came over here. Alexa, can I borrow you for a minute, I have to show you something."
"Sure."
She allowed herself to be pulled up by him and led towards the door. Quickly she turned and caught Draco's eye, who was watching them and she slightly shook her head, telling him everything would be okay. Then she caught her sister's eye, communicating with her.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked, watching the whole thing.
"Telling Kat I'm leaving for a few."
"But you didn't say anything."
"I did." Alexa smiled. "It's a twin thing."
Harry pulled her through the portrait, giving a quick wave to Roz.
"I have something to tell you." He said.
"What?" Alexa asked, seeing the excitement shining through his eyes.
"It's Sirius, he's awake."
