Alexis Portia Halliwell walked down the hallway, following behind Professor McGonagall, she was being led to the special dormitories for someone, who hasn't be shorted into a House. Meaning the uniform to Lexi's horror, she still had to wear; would have the Hogwarts Crest on them.

"This is a first for the Shorting Hat not to place a student," The Professor stated in the silence of the hall.

"Hogwarts hasn't had a student like me now," Lexi replied as she walked up the stair case,

"Do becareful the staircases like to move, oh yes here we are; fourth floor dormitories, we have one no one has been able to open," Professor McGonagall explained.

Alexis was led to a dark out cove, she had to summon some of her fire ability just to see,

"Who has awoken me," a voice questioned. Lexi gasped as she glanced at the painting that moved; she was a young blonde haired woman with kind blue eyes,

"I have; only a blood descendant of yours could know who you are, Melinda Warren," Lexi replied after catching her breath.

"Then I shall of you the Password." Melinda smiled,

"Triquetra" Lexi stated.

"This is the password but you have to different forms of magic, you are the charmed one adopted by blood adoption are you not?" Melinda asks as the painting swung open,

"Yes; I was blood adopted when i was one into your line, I haven't done anything to upset the balance," Lexi answered as she and Professor McGonagall, who was wide eyed that the Portrait spoke and acknowledged Lexi as family.

"Blessed be, and have a good year," Melinda replied. Lexi walked into a nearly fell over anime style at the room. The private room, had a common room that was in earth tones, in the corner was a desk with a ink well, quills all set out, along with a book stand, Lexi thought that was where the Book of Shadows would go, she had her own duplicate of the Book so if she needed to vanquish demons she could; on the other end was a couch and fireplace and perch with her owl already dozing on it.

Snopdrow was curled up beside the fire, staring at her.

"Well I see my stuff is already here." Lexi murmured.

"You will have your schedule at breakfast with the other students. I believe that door is your bedroom." Professor McGonagall explained, Lexi was treated as a Gryffindor student and was under McGonagall's watchful eyes. So if she did anything stupid, Gryffindor would lose points. But other then that she could seat in the Great hall were ever she chose,

'Maybe being here isn't so bad, I have my own space. That is a good thing since my powers are tied to my emotions' Lexi thought as she went up the stair case to her room, blinking as she lit candles, with her power. Her jaw dropped at the queen size bed with plush covers, five pillows and there was a closet at the other end of the room.

Quickly changing into her tiger cub form she jump onto the bed and playing pawed at pillows. Until they were spread over over the bed. Yawning she wondered, if she would sleep in this form or human.

Laughter filled the room; as orbs filled came down. When the person soidify; Lexi gave the whitelighter a tiger grin.

The whitelighter; She has deep-set eyes the color of blue tropical waters. Her silky, wavy, yellow hair She is talk and has a slender build. Her skin is tan; she was dressed in a green shirt and black slacks.

"This school hasn't changed their uniforms, and hasn't added anti-orbing spells, which I am glad of." the Whitelighter stated with a smirk. "Now why don't you change back into human form so I won't have to look crazy."

Lexi the tiger cub backflips and landed back on her bed, laying stomach down in human form. "Gee, and I love it when you talk to a tiger cub, anyway what are you doing here?"

"You think those big heads upstairs would let the youngest Charmed One go off to school without a guardian," the whitelighter answered.

"Carmela; They sent you as babysitter." whines Lexi.

"Would you rather have me or one of your sisters?" Carmela asks while flopping down on the bed besides the girl; she was assigned too.

"I guess between and my overprotective sisters, I would chose you." Lexi sighed as she got up. She went to her trunk and got out a pair of short and a tank top to sleep in. she changed, she didn't care if her whitelighter watched, besides Carmela might have changed her diapers.

"I would ask how you knew where I was but I forgot about the sensing charges." Lexi stated as she crawled under the covers.

"Go to sleep, cub, you have class tomorrow." Carmela ordered.

"Night, Carme." yawned Lexi as she drifted off to sleep.
