Lexi felt someone shaking her shoulder; she rolled away from the offending touch.
"Alexis Portia Halliwell, get your ass up or else I will orb you into the great hall." Carmela growled; trying to wake her charge was like pulling teeth.
Lexi blinked sleepily "Why did you have to wake me?"
"Because if you don't get up, you won't be able to eat breakfast," Carmela answered. "Breakfast is served early here since class begins today."
Lexi sprang from the bed and rush around the room trying to get everything together then stopped as she remembered something.
"Now what?" asks Carmela, a little worried about the young witch hybrid,
"When we were shopping for my supplies, none of the wands accepted me." Lexi panicked, and then she noticed what Carmela was wearing. It was the Whitelighter's robe. "What's with the get up?"
Carmela rolled her blue eyes, "My formal whitelighter robe, you mean?"
Lexi nodded.
"I'm also here as an Ambassador of the Elders" Carmela answered. "Get dress, your wand will arrive today before Charms class."
"Playing messenger isn't enough." Lexi teased, as she pulled on a pair of shorts under her skirt. She ran her brush though her hair, sighing as the purple strips glistened. She shouldn't have try making a potion, when Piper wasn't home. It blew up in her face, leaving her with purple striped hair.
"See you down in the great hall, tiger." Carmela stated as Lexi ran out of the room.
Lexi almost ran into Ron and Harry,
"Good morning you two" greeted Lexi.
"Good morning," both muttered.
Lexi got in between them, "Care to escort a lady to breakfast,"
The trio laughed, and walked to the Great Hall, and sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"How was your private room?" asks Hermione coming to sit beside Lexi.
"earth tone colors, and my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great blood-adopted Grandmother is the painting," Lexi answered as she gather eggs and bacon and toast on her plate, she didn't like pumpkin juice, she might just have to have Carmela find a way to keep some milk or tea on hand.
"It's way too early for mail?" Ron stated confused. Causing the students to look out. To see an eagle-owl flying in. Lexi smiled, as the bird drop a rectangle wrapped package from its talons.
"Hello Talon," Lexi greeted as she petted the eagle-owl's crest. The Eagle-owl hooted in respond and closes its eyes.
"What is it?" asks Harry,
Lexi unwrapped the package, and smiled at a beautified craved wand, she picked it up, and blue light shown from it. The same kind as the power of four, "my new wand, when I was shopping none of the wands had accepted me, since I'm a hybrid witch, Wicca and wizard magic runs though me."
'Makes me wonder just how Carmela is going to introduce herself?' Lexi thought as she looked at the schedule, Transfiguration, Potions, Defense against the dark arts, Herbology, Charms.
"This is strange, my Defense Against the dark arts, doesn't say a teacher," Lexi thought outloud, just then the familiar jingle of orbs floated in.
"Sorry to interrupted," Carmela stated as she solidified, Lexi wanted to blast her though a window.
"Who are you?" asks Dumbledore, standing
"Just a simple whitelighter, my name is Carmela Brooks." Carmela answers.
"Oh for the love Merlin," Lexi moaned.
Carmela turned a little "Did you say something Alexis?"
"Nothing Carmela," Lexi replied.
"You two know each other?" asks Harry.
"Carmela is my whitelighter, and there is nothing simple about her." Lexi replied, grabbing her books and wand. "I don't need to hear why she's here, I see you in class."
Lexi sat at a three seated desk, waiting on everyone; that is when Professor McGonagall came in.
"Ms. Halliwell, why aren't with the others listening to Carmela's speech." Professor McGonagall asks.
"Whitelighters are guardian angels who protect good witches, in the Wiccan world that is." Lexi answered in an off hand manner. "Like I said before Carmela is my whitelighter. She's here as an Ambassador of the Elders, I don't need to know anymore."
"And to give certain charmed one more protection then just a cat." Carmela stated walking into the door; she sat down on a chair that was near Professor McGonagall's desk. "I'm here to be your shadow, I go wherever you do."
Lexi's eyes widen as Professor McGonagall turned into a Cat and sat upon the desk. Every student piled in, all but two. Ron and Harry; the class was chatting to each other when the two missing students came running in.
"It's a good thing the teacher isn't here or else we're going to be late." Ron stated.
Lexi and Carmela smirked then the Cat jumped and transformed back into Professor McGonagall. Lexi didn't pay attention to the exchange; she was too shocked that someone else could turn into an animal.
Lexi raised her hand,
"Yes Lexi?" asks Professor McGonagall.
"I didn't know that someone else could change forms." Lexi stated.
"Lexi, i wouldn't go there if i were you." Carmela warned.
"But i want to know why i can change into a tiger while my sisters can't." Lexi argued "Please Carme,"
Carmela waved her hand. "Go ahead, I think i like you better when you can't talk."
Lexi stood up from her desk, where Harry and Ron sat, and smirked before leaping up into the air and landing on all fours. She let an out meow, which was supposed to be a roar.
Professor McGonagall turned to look at the whitelighter, "How long has she been able to transfigure herself?"
"To be honest, since she was three, i should know i used to baby-sit her; scared the hellfires out of her older sisters," Carmela answered as Lexi-tiger padded over to her, to play with the sleeve of her robe. "Alright young lady, turn back."
Lexi-tiger titled her head to the side then nodded then charged back.
"But i was having fun, now i want a saucer of milk," Lexi stated as she sat back down. Carmela glanced at the ceiling and scowled, "Alright, Alright, I'm coming."
"Has she lost her mind?" whispered Ron to Lexi,
"No she hasn't the Elders but must calling her." Lexi answered.
"Sorry, Lexi but my bosses want me." Carmela apologized then orbed out. The class went by slowing, Lexi taking notes, she thought she could add to her duplicate of the Book Of Shadows, it might help future generations of hybrid witches, Lexi copied every word Professor McGonagall had spoken,
by the time, Transfiguration was over, the young hybrid witch's hand hurt. Hermione, Harry, Lexi, and Ron headed down to the dungeons to the Potions,
"I hope I don't end up with more colors in my hair," Lexi stated as they entered the classroom.
"more colors; I thought you dyed your hair purple?" Hermione asks,
Lexi shook her head, and took a seat next to Hermione, "No, I was trying to mix a vanquishing potion by myself, it didn't turn out so well,"
"There will be no wand waving or silly incantations in this class." Professor Snape stated as he entered the classroom, then went on to explain the class, "I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death."
He stopped and saw that Lexi and Harry weren't paying attention because they were writing notes, "However, it seems some of you have come to class with powers so formidable that you feel confident enough... to not pay attention."
He walked around to where the two were seated, "Mr. Potter, Ms. Halliwell Our new... celebrities." then he went on to ask questions,
Lexi was having a hard time controlling her temper, her skin felt hotter, she gritted her teeth, and raised her hand. "Sir, I know the answers,"
"Oh really?" replies Professor Snape,
"Asphodel and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of the Living Death, a Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for Monkshood and Wolfbane, they are the same plant which also goes by the name of Aconite." Lexi answered, "And most of those Ingredients found in the common demon vanquishing potions."
Carmela orbed in sensing her charge and friend was going to lose it, "Alexis, I need you to come with me,"
Lexi gathered her books, and glared at Snape and ran to Carmela, "Orb now, I'm not sure how long I'm able to hold back"
Carmela orbed Lexi to a meadow close to the school, just in time as flames burst out of thin air.
"Damp it," Carmela ordered,
Lexi struggled with her pyrokinesis, to dampen the flames until they were out.
"Stupid Snape," muttered Lexi, as she passed out.
