Albus was in his office pacing, there was a mystery about Alexis Halliwell, that seem to plagues the minds of every professor, She resembles the missing Morgana, who hasn't been seen since she was a year old; she was stolen out of the Potters' house the night they died; Alexis' ability to use wanded magic, and the powerful wiccan magic, boggles the mind of the Headmaster, he knew what every professor thought, she was the missing child of the mass murderer and Evangeline claimed the child was her daughter, and clearly stated that the late James and Lily Potter were her godparents.
"Albus, don't you suppose that Alexis Halliwell is Morgana Black, I mean Evangeline Brooks claims she is the child's mother, they couldn't be the same person could they?" Minerva asks; she was sitting in a chair that was magically conjured.
"I'm not sure what to think about this Minerva, but the resemblance is uncanny" Albus answered.
"The baby girl goes missing then ten years later Alexis receives the acceptance letter meant for Morgana," Minerva wondered outloud
Bluish white orbs filled the room, causing the Headmaster and deputy Headmistress to look. Carmela stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, and a scowl on her otherwise lovely face.
"Elder; nice of you to join us this night." Dumbledore greeted.
"Oh shut it, I'm not liking the reason, I'm here in the first place." Carmela snapped.
"Would you mind explaining, please?" Minerva asks.
"My colleagues and I have come to a mutual decision regarding Alexis Halliwell," Carmela answered, she was in her no non-sense, no-playing around Elder mode.
"What do you know about Alexis Halliwell, who is she really?" Dumbledore asks.
Carmela unfolded her arms and held her hands out, "I can't discuss this matter here, if my charge were to find out about the truth, it would do no good in the coming future."
Minerva trusted the Elder and took her hand, Albus took her hand, excepting something similar like apparition but it wasn't; one minute he was in his office and the next he was standing on a very large bridge, over looking a city.
"Where are we?" asks Minerva, looking around at the scenery.
"Golden Gate Bridge; San Francisco, California, United States of America. Only place where magical beings can be without being seen, also I haven't found place as good as this to make into a safe spot for Elders." Carmela answered, "Also we have been keeping watch over your side of magic ever since Alexis began studying your form of witchcraft,"
"So why did you take us all the way here, when you could have just told us about Alexis' past at Hogwarts." Dumbledore stated.
" Honestly, do you think I was born yesterday? I know that secrets don't stay secret in Hogwarts, what I am about to tell you must not leave this bridge, or else I will resort to using memory dust and erasing the memory of us speaking. you have guessed correctly about Morgana and Alexis, they are indeed one and the same." Carmela replied, she reached for a leather cord around her neck and pulled out a tan pouch, containing memory dust, if they didn't agree to what she was about to explain she was not going to let them remember anything on the subject.
"How do you know that?" asks Minerva,
"Because I was the one who 'stole' Morgana, I was assigned as her Elder when she was born. We found out about Voldemort, and I had to save her, because if she died that night, it would ruin her destiny." Carmela answered.
"Why didn't you tell us from the start of the year?" Albus asks.
"I didn't tell you, because the wizarding world would place a large sign on her forehead about who her father is. It was to protect her, and you should know that she needs it." Carmela replied. "You will not repeat this to anyone, unless you want this side of the magical community after you, believe me when I say we have an Eternal life-debt to the Warren line, Alexis included," she then orbed them back to Hogwarts, while she went up to talk with the other Elders.
Alexis blinked in surprise and shock at Draco Malfoy, the first night of school replaying in her mind, that if she found out she was related to him, that she would kill herself...she wanted to scream, throw a temper tantrum...and run off to her bed and never come back out.
"I just don't believe it," Hermione muttered. Alexis' eyes flicker over to her.
"Don't believe what, that I am related to that arrogant, self-center jerk?" Alexis asks.
"Alexis," snapped Prue.
The youngest Halliwell turned to her eldest sister, and ducked her head when she seen that Prue was giving her the look.
"That wasn't very nice; I thought we taught you better manners then that." Prue stated.
Alexis knew what was coming now, if she didn't apologize or at least put on a good enough show she would be in trouble, when Prue decided that she overstepped boundaries, she would be grounded from demon vanquishes.
"I'm terribly sorry for my rude behavior, Draco." Alexis apologized, putting enough sugary sweetness to her words that she wasn't likely to eat anything sweet for weeks.
Draco's jaw dropped at the formal apology that his new cousin gave him, he didn't know what to say in return.
"Do close your mouth before you catch flies." Piper stated.
"I think we had enough for tonight, I don't know about you all but I'm sure Alexis has homework to do, along with spending time with her sisters." Prue stated.
Lexi sighed and stood up from her place at her sisters' feet, and went over to her desk and began to work.
"We'll see you tomorrow Lexi." everyone stated in unison,
Draco stayed and was deciding on saying something,
"Draco, you're my biological cousin, but it doesn't mean i have to treat you like family, if you so much as think about using my status as a Charmed One for your own personal gain, I will curse you into the next century." Lexi threatened without ever looking up from her Transfiguration essay.
