It was September 1st. Harry woke at 6:00am that morning. Harry got dressed and started to pack his things inside his trunk. He got done around 7:30 and went downstairs. He was surprised to see Dudley awake so early. He took his normal seat between Uncle Vernon and Dudley.

"Hurry Petunia, I have to leave in ten minutes." Uncle Vernon said gruffly over his newspaper.

"I'm coming Vernon." She said bringing over a plate for Vernon and Dudley. She then got one for herself. When she sat down is when she noticed Harry sitting there.

"Your going to have to make yourself breakfast, we don't have time." Aunt Petunia said and began to eat.

"I'm not hungry thanks. Where are you going?"

"Well if you must know. I'm going in to work early and your aunt and cousin have to go get Dudley tailored for his new year."

"What about me? Who's going to drop me off at the train station?"

They all looked at him. To what Harry could get they had forgotten all about Harry needing to be at the train station.

"You all forgot didn't you?" Harry said abruptly.

"Well since we haven't for the last four years. We didn't know we were supposed to now."

"Well, have you noticed I've left before the begging of starting term? That might have something to do with it." Harry said angrily

"Fine I'll take you when I get back with Dudley."

"Oh heaven only knows how long that will be." Harry muttered under his breath. Within the thirty minutes all three Dursley's were gone. Harry made up his mind and decided to call one his best friends, Hermione.

"Hello?"

"Is Hermione there?"

"This is she."

"Hermione! This is Harry."

"Harry good to hear from you. What's wrong?"

"The Dursley's are gone. I have no way of getting to King's Cross Station. Do you think you could come pick me up?"

"Yeah hold on. Let me go ask my parents." Harry didn't wait long before Hermione came back on and said "Yeah sure when do you want to be picked up?

"It doesn't matter to me as long as I'm not in a hurry or it doesn't put pressure on your parents."

"Okay then we'll come pick you up in an hour and a half."

"Sounds good to me. Thanks Hermione."

"Don't worry about it. See you later Harry."

"Bye Hermione." Harry said and hung up the receiver.

And sure enough Hermione and her parents came to get Harry at around 9:30. Harry was waiting patiently with Hedwig in her cage and his trunk already in the hallway. Hermione's father helped him get his things in the car. Lucky they left when they did, there was some convention happening in London and the traffic was horrendous. It took them an hour to get to King's Cross Station. Hermione said her good-byes to her parents and Harry said thank you to both of them for bringing him to the train station. With a quick kiss on the cheek to both of her parents Hermione went through the barrier, and was shortly followed by Harry. They were both surprised to see the number of students that arrived early.

(Alexis)

"Ma hurry up we're going to be late!"

"We're not going to be late."

"You don't know that for sure."

"We have plenty of time, we still have an hour!"

"Well with that convention happening I'm not to sure about that."

"…Oh fine get your things."

"I've already put them in the car. Shall we go then?"

Alexis and her mum had a short 30minute car ride. Elizabeth went through the barrier with Alexis. They kissed each other on he cheek and then hugged. Elizabeth whispered in her ear, " Now be careful Xandi. I don't want the things happening like they did in the past, got me?"

"Yeah I promise." She whispered back.

Then once they put her things in the luggage compartment they hugged quickly again and departed. By the time Alexis found an empty compartment the whistle blew. She was alone for about 10 minutes before the compartment door slid open. She jumped a little when she heard someone clear their throat.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you." Said the deep voice of Harry Potter.

"Oh hello, and don't worry about it. Where are your friends? Umm, Ron and Hermione wasn't it?"

"Yeah that's them. They're in the Prefect compartment. They said they'd meet me later."

"Oh." Alexis said with a small smirk on her face.

"Soo…What's you full name?" Harry asked while sitting down. She looked at him awkwardly then smiled.

"My full name is Alexandra Sara Myers. If you don't want to call me Alexandra then you can call me Alexis, Lex, Xandi, or Xander. I go by all so it doesn't matter."

"Interesting I like all of them so I'll have to call you each on separate occasions."

Lex smiled broadly.

"So what's your middle name? Of course I don't need to know your first or last."

Harry smiled. "James.'

"Harry James Potter. Hmmm…interesting." She said looking up at the ceiling and rubbing her chin. They both started to laugh. The mid-afternoon came around and the old witch with the trolley came by.

"Anything off the trolley dears?"

Harry bought a few things but Lexis didn't. Harry split half of his stock with her. They sat in silence for a good 20minutes before the compartment door sled open. It was Harry's two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

"Oy! We thought we'd never find you."

"If I stayed in that compartment with Draco Malfoy for another second I would've gone insane" Hermione said frustratingly. Alexis was looking amused and tried not to laugh.

"You remember Alexis don't you?" Harry asked then both.

Ron looked over just then noticing her and said, "Yeah I remember, hey."

"Of course I do, hello." Said Hermione.

"Hi.'

"So Alexis what's you full name?" asked Ron. Harry and Alexis laughed.

"Well my full name is Alexandra Sara Myers. If you don't want to call me that then you can call me either Alexis, Lex, Xandi, or Xander."

"Cool."

"I like Xandi," came both of their replies.

"Yeah that's what me ma calls me most of the time." She said

They spent the rest of the trip talking and getting to know Alexis, playing wizard's chess and Exploding snap. Then Hermione and Alexis went to go change into their robes.

"So Harry, do you like Alexis?" Ron asked pulling on his robe.

"Yeah I guess so," he paused thinking then said, "Why do you?"

"As a friend yeah. She's pretty cool." Ron answered opening a chocolate frog

"Oh." Came Harry's muffled answer as he pulled on his sweater. Then the door slid open, and the two girls came in.

"Good timing." Harry said sarcastically

"Why do you say that?" asked Hermione

"I just pulled on my shirt before you two walked in." he said pulling on his robe then sat next to Alexis.

"Oh sorry Harry." Hermione said and Alexis just laughed.

"Well at least you didn't come in when I was pant less." Harry muttered.

"Okay Harry that's enough," Hermione almost yelled. Alexis just laughed and thought amusingly to herself 'boxers or briefs'. She not wanting them to think she's crazy she just laughed silently to herself.

They all stepped out of they're compartment and saw Malfoy gripping some poor girls wrist rather roughly. That poor girl was none other than Ginny Weasley. Harry and Ron both hexed him and then his robes caught on fire. Ginny slipped away and while that Crabb and Goyle tried to put the fire out but it only increased. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Alexis were rolling on the ground at the site that lay before them. When they reached the carriages they were still laughing with tears rolling down their faces.

Then Harry just stopped. Alexis ran into him and then looked out to see what was keeping them both. Ron got out and put a hand on Harry's shoulder. He didn't as much flinched.

"Harry come on." Alexis urged. Harry jolted back and realized what he was staring at.

"Oh sorry." Harry said trying not to think of what he was remembering. It was a silent five minutes until they joined the rest of the school. It wasn't long before the sorting was to begin.

Alexis separated from the trio. They all wished her luck and went to sot down in the middle of the table. It didn't take long for it to end though.

"Now we have a transfer student this year. Alexandra Myers." McGonagall announced. Alexis sat down on the three legged stool and McGonagall put the old hat atop her head.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? I see your much like your father dear girl. I see a lot of him in you. So I'm going to have to put you in the same house as he. Gryffindor!" the hat shouted to the crowded room.

Cheers come from the Gryffindor table. Alexis shot up and directly saw Harry. She walked up to him and sat on his right across from Ron.
