Alex woke up, her mind clouded. She noticed that many things were wrong with the picture cause she was damn certain that she had fallen asleep in her blue and silver room and not in a purple and lilacroom. "What the...?" she muttered and her eyes widened in shock when she heard her voice. It did not sound like her at all and the panic attack had become full-blown when she saw her hands and feet. They were small! She looked up from the bed she had been sprawled on an witnessed herself in the mirror hanging in right in front of her. She was an eleven-year-old. 'How was this even possible?'In the middle of hyperventilating she spotted a sealed letter on the floor next to her feet. Calmed enough to pick the letter, she began to read. It stated.

Lady Fate
She flopped back onto her bed, her mind reeling with the unexpected revelation. She, Alexis McLean was in her favorite book series how cool was that? But wait, what of her mother and Leila. Sure, Lady Fate, if she existed, she was inclined to believe so, had said that her family won't notice her absence but how? She was going to miss her family that was for sure, she thought, her eyes teary, as she fingered her heart shaped locket which contained a family photo with her father and a mini clock on the other side.
Just then an onslaught of memories poured into her head. She closed her eyes and clamped her hands over ears trying to deal with all the information of the person whose body she had inhabited. Alexis McLean of the HP world was an orphan with no information on her parents. She had lived in an orphanage until she was eleven. On receiving her Hogwarts letter, the lady who she had met in a park while reading had turned out to be an old squib with the name of Laura Burke had already informed her of magic when the old lady had seen Alex's accidental magic. So HP Alex had already known about magic. Another interesting piece of information was that Laura, who was the last of the House of Burke, one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight had made Alex her heir. That would come in handy in the near future.
After having absorbed and processed all the memories, Alex called out for her house-elf, Tilly. "What can Tilly do for Miss Alex?" Tilly asked bowing. Tilly looked exactly like the books had described house-elves to be. The house-elf had been a present from Laura for when she had left the orphanage and has started to live on her own. Alex marveled at how different Dobby was from Tilly. Whereas Dobby had bandages wrapped around his body and a dirty, torn pillow case as his attire, Tilly was cleanly dressed in pretty, small blue dress. "Is dinner ready?" she asked. Tilly nodded and left to who knows where.
After Tilly had left Alex observed her room. It was decorated and furnished elegantly. Clearly the other Alex had taste. She had a huge wardrobe with designer clothes and a lot pairs of shoes that you'd expect a girl to have. By the dressing table there were some vanity products but not much. Next to her bed, there was a lavishly decorated trunk with her initials on it. She knelt by it and opened the trunk. Inside she could see a bottomless pit. She descended into the trunk, knowing that it was one of those trunks courtesy of her memories. There were 5 compartments all together. One for books, potions, clothes. One compartment was empty of anything while the other held Alex's valuables and private things. The last compartment was the most secure from all 5.
Leaving the trunk she walked through the door opposite her wardrobe and found a lavish bathroom with a spacious tub with many taps, a shower etc. She gazed at it in wonder before exiting the bathroom when she noticed something she hadn't before. On her bed were the Harry Potter books! All seven of them!
