Chapter 2

I woke up to the sound of a cat and two people arguing. I quickly got dressed into a black top and jeans. I grabbed Lana and walked. All of a sudden, Lana jumped out of my arms and started chasing the cat.

"Lana, stop!" I shouted while chasing after her.

I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry my puppy just ran after that cat." I said.

"Lexi?" A familiar voice said.

"Harry?"I glanced up towards him. "I'm so sorry."

"Come on let's go find your dog." he said.

As we walked towards the stairs he asked "Why do you have puppy, students aren't allowed them?"

"Well you see Remus gave it to me as a late birthday present he gave it to me as I've always told him that I love dogs and I've always wanted one. So he asked Albus if I could have instead of all the animals I'm supposed to have." I finished. "And here I am with a my puppy Lana."

"Lana's a beautiful name" He said. I nodded in acknowledgement. "Is this your first year?"

"Yeah, but I'm supposed to be in my third year, but Albus kept me out of school because my mum and dad died the day before I was supposed to start and I grieved for two years." I lied, hopefully he bought it.

"I'm sorry, my parents died when I was one, they were killed by Voldemort." He said.

"I'm s.."

I suddenly heard to people shouting.

"I'm warning you keep that bloody beast away from Scabbers or I'll turn it into a tea cozy" It was a male voice.

Harry led me down the stairs.

A female voice said "It's a cat Ronald what do you expect? It's in his nature."

"A cat? Is that what they told you? Looks like a pig with hair." The one the female called Ronald said.

I heard a bark.

"Lana!" I ran down the stairs and grabbed her "Don't ever run off like that again I was worried."

I looked up at the two people in front of me "I'm sorry I just got her she hasn't been trained yet. I hope she didn't make too much trouble."

The ginger haired one, Ronald said "no it was that cat's fault. I'm Ron Weasley by the way."

"Hi I'm Alexia Dumbledore" I replied. "You can call me Lexi."

"I'm Hermione Granger" the girl said "Dumbledore? Are related to Albus Dumbledore?"

"Yeah I'm his Granddaughter" I replied. "My parents died when I was about go into my first year of Hogwarts, I didn't go though because Albus decided that I shouldn't because I was grieving."

"Why didn't you come last year?" Ron asked.

"I was still grieving."I answered.

"How did they die?" Harry asked me from behind me.

"I don't know I wasn't there I was with Albus while it happened. And no one told me how they died." I said.

"Come on we should go and sit down" Harry said.

When we sat down Ron asked "why do you have a dog? We're not allowed dogs."

I opened my mouth to answer but said it first "Someone called Remus gave her the dog for a birthday present and he got Dumbledore to allow her to have it during school."

"Oh my god that reminds me I have to feed her." I ran towards a woman who worked there and left Harry and Ron talking about Egypt. "Excuse me do you have any dog food I need to feed my dog."

"I'll be right back" she said.

After a few minutes she came back with two dishes one with water in the other with food in it.

"Thank you very much" I said.

"Keep the dishes if you want" she said. She placed them on the table where Ron was sitting.

I sat next to Ron and placed Lana on the table so that she can eat.

"Where did Harry go?" I asked.

"Oh my dad wanted to talk to him." He replied "We're going to King's Cross tomorrow, do you want to come with us?"

"Sure" I answered. "I'm going to get myself ready for tomorrow, but first I'm going to take Lana for a walk. Tell Harry I'll see him tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

I went outside I saw a small field and let Lana run around and do her business. Once she finished, we went back into the inn called the Leaky Cauldron. We went straight to my room and straight to sleep.
