Chapter 18:Teasing Sisters and The Battle is Beginning

Alexandria hobbled over to where her brother sat in the common room with Meghan. The two fifteen year olds were laughing. Her brother was blushing a deep red and smiling a bit shyly. "Hey Chase. Meghan." she said,clearly amused. She plopped down on the floor infront of the two. She threw her head of blond hair back and shone a radiant smile up at the two. Harry(Chase) glared at his sister's smirking face and grunted,"Hey." His arms folded over his chest.

"Hello Alexa. I forgot to ask,how are you?" Meghan asked with a soft,friendly smile not noticing Harry(Chase's) glare.

"Oh,I'm fine. My legs are healing nicely enough. I just hope these bruises go away." Alexandria said,frowning a bit as she looked at the bruises that marred her otherwise flawless skin.

Meghan smiled down at her. "Of course they will heal. I remember when I was your age I was bit by some animal that Hagrid brought and I had bruises on my hand. That seventh year,Hermione Granger healed them for me. You should ask her to heal yours."

Just then Hermione walked in her arms filled with books. Harry(Chase) and Meghan raced over to help her. She threw a greatful smile at the two as they relieved her arms. "Thanks." She said in a friendly way,her dark eyes resting on Lexi who was still staring down at her wriist.

She walked over to her future daughter and sat on her knees beside her. "Are you okay?" She asked with concern. She felt bad that she hadn't been there for her daughter all to much this week but with NEWTS coming up and Head Girl duties she hadn't had much of a chance.

"It's my hand. It's really bruised." Alexandria said flatly,eyes looking down at the soft carpeting. She didn't know why she was sounding so distant. She knew it wasn't her mother's fault that she had been so busy with NEWTS and her duties as a head girl but she couldn't help but be a bit...disappointed.

"I'll fix it for you." Hermione said,pulling her wand from her blouse and taking Lexi's hand in her own but was surprised when the girl glare coldly and jerked her hand from Hermione's grasp. She stood from her seat on the floor and moved fast torwards the girl's dorms.

Meghan looked quickly torwards Hermione and up the steps of the girl's dorms and said,"I'll go up and see what's wrong with her." She pushed her cascading waves of black hair over a shoulder and walked up the steps.

Hermione sat down on the couch,knees tucked under her and let out a sad sigh. Harry Arthur moved to her quickly and sat down,wrapping an arm around his mum's slender shoulders in a comforting manner. Something his father always did when she was upset. "It's okay mum. Lexi is just upset. She hasn't gotten to see much of you this week. I know you couldn't help it but you have to understand how she must've felt. I mean you,dad,and Harry all spent so much time with us since you found out who we are. Now she sorta feels as if you abandoned her or something." He said comfortingly but at the same time sadly.

"I know. I feel terrible for that." Hermione said,swallowing roughly.

"I know you do. But...regret doesn't help any. Lexi and I...we need to realize you have your own life here in this time. Your gonna be busy. We need to accept it. But...maybe you should go speak with Alexandria. Explain thing to her." he said seriously,sounding so much like Hermione that she had to smile.

"I do love you two you know? I just.." She trailed off and instead opted to hug him.

Harry Arthur laughed and gently pushed his mum torwards the stairs and said,"I know mum. Now go on and tell her that."

Hermione smiled and headed up the stairs and opened the door for third years tentatively.

Her daughter sat on a bed that must be hers and Meghan was looking at the girl with her mouth open. At first Hermione didn't realize why but then she noticed that the glamour charm was now off and her dark eyes and bushy red mane where back again.

Meghan noticed her first and jumped up.

"Hermione,I um..I'll be going. I n...need to talk with Harry Arth...I mean Chase about something anyway." With a small,flittering smile Meghan hurried from the room.

Sitting down briskly Hermione looked at her daughter,"Lexi."

The girl looked up,red eyed. "Hey mum,I guess you wanna reprimend me for tellin' Meghan who I am don't ya?"

Hermione looked down at the girl and said,"I should..but I won't. You where clearly upset."

Alexandria snorted softly. "Well looks like the insufferable know-it-all finally figured things out." she said rudely.

"Lexi,I am sorry for everything but I have been busy." Hermione said ignoring her daughter's rudeness.

Alexandria softened and looked at her mother. "I know that. It's just upsetting." She whispered,moving closer to Hermione.

Just as the two where about to hug a scream was heard and when they went down the steps they realized that the war was beginning.
