Alex froze. Her whole life she had never been expecting any of this.

"How?" She asked, her eyes gleaming. Lily stroked her arm lightly.

"When you and Harry connected with Voldemort, all the horcrux was transferred to you just by chance." Alex stared at Dumbledore.

"So, I have to die?"

"There is going to be a battle at Hogwarts in a few weeks, all you need to do is lie low, make sure you have all your energy and keep this with you at every moment of the day."

Sirius handed Alex a coin and she smiled. It was the DA coin. How he had gotten it, she wasn't sure but she knew that magic worked in weird ways.

"You know how it works. When it burns, you get to Hogwarts right away. Don't worry, we've found a way to make sure Harry knows he's not going to die." Alex nodded and she felt herself drifting away.

"I miss you." They all smiled and soon they were gone.

Alex looked around. She was back where she was before the whole creepy thing had happened, looking down she saw the coin her palm.

She smiled. Sirius and his ways. She looked over the edge of the cliff and took a deep breath. The ocean water entered her nostrils and she grinned, the smell of oceans always made her calm. Setting up her tent she had 'borrowed' from Bill and Fleur, she sat at the small desk with a pad of parchment and a quill.

She knew how horcruxes got ridden of. You had to kill them, destroy them. She sighed and started writing the letters for her friends and adopted family. She doubted she would see them for long enough to tell them how she felt and why it had to be this way.

Letting a few tears hit the parchment as she started the first letter, Alex wondered where Harry was now.

Harry, Hermione and Ron sat facing each other at the table. Ron had just came back after he left and was filling them in on what he had heard from Bill and Fleur.

"Bill and Fleur are safe, the rest are being watched and Ginny had to get taken away from Hogwarts." Hermione sighed and muttered to herself about how none of this should be happening.

Harry however, was more concentrated on where his other best friend and girlfriend (if they still went out, he wasn't sure and neither was she) was currently.

"What about Alex?" Ron looked down awkwardly and Hermione turned to face him so all eyes were on Ron.

"Ron. Where. Is. Alex." Harry said a bit more forcefully this time. Ron looked up at them, staring at the duo from under his mop of ginger hair.

"She's gone." Harry and Hermione were shocked.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked slowly.

Ron shook his head. "Exactly that. Bill and Fleur managed to take Alex with them to the cottage, but when they woke up a few days later, she was gone. All she left was a note."

Ron showed them the note and the two boys didn't understand what the task was, but Hermione had a faint idea but didn't mention it.

"Well, if she's gone back to Vol-" Harry started slightly annoyed. Ron tried to cut in but he wasn't able to stop Harry.

"NO!"
"-demort, then wait what now Ron?" Ron quickly grabbed his wand.

"The name is taboo!" As soon as Ron said that, they heard the Death Eaters moving about outside, Hermione quickly packed everything up but left the tent, then they all ran away.

Unfortuantley, the were caught.

Harry's last thoughts before they entered Malfoy manner was staying with him.

'Where did Alex go, and where is she now?'

Alex didn't finish the first letter that night. Her scar was throbbing and she just couldn't. She had fallen asleep but she had forgotten about the mind connection between her, Harry and Voldemort.

She saw Voldemort standing, and she found herself standing beside Harry. Voldemort suddenly vanished and Harry and Alex were left alone in the dream demension. They quickly turned to each other and hugged.

"This is a dream." Harry stated and Alex nodded.

"Are you safe?" Alex asked and Harry nodded. He showed her a cut on his cheek.

"We were found by Death Eaters, but we escaped. We're back with Bill and Fleur now. How are you and what are you doing?" Alex sighed and ran her hands through her hair.

"I'm laying low, I've done my mission. That's all I can physically and mentally and emotionally say. You found all the horcruxes?" Harry nodded.

"There's four left. The cup, Ravenclaw's diadem, the snake and em, well, me." Alex sighed again.

"Look, I can't tell you how I know, but on my mission, I found out you are NOT a horcrux, okay? You've got to believe me." Harry relaxed.

"So I don't need to die?" He asked hopefully. Alex nodded, she was the one who would be dying but he didn't need to know that.

Suddenly Voldemort reappeared. "Nice trick Russo, your shields are too weak to keep me out though." Alex hadn't even realised it was her who had been keeping him out.

Suddenly she jolted up and was awake again. She looked around, she was still in her tent.

She continued the same routine of writing letters, reading a few books and practsising her spells for a good few days after that. One day though, when she turned her portable radio onto Potterwatch she was ready.

"Listeners, this will be the last radio message. We have news that a battle is starting." At that exact moment the DA coin burned in her pocket.

It was time. Alex had only hours left, and she was surprisingly fine with it.
