Carmela stood before her family's estate, with her hands in her jeans. She knew she could just orb in and go though her stuff, but what was the point when you have no need of it from the wizarding world,
"So this is the place?" asked Alexis, as she glanced at the Elder, who had a sorrowful expression, the hybrid and Elder were on their way back to Hogwarts, not before stopping at the Brooks family estate, Alexis wanted to learn more about her biological mother's family, so the only person who could fill in the gaps of time would be the Elder.
"Yes, its locked up nice and tight waiting for the next Heir to make herself known at Gringotts." Carmela replied, "Its yours; if you want it, I mean if you want to return to this world that is."
"Maybe someday after Hogwarts, and everything is peaceful in both worlds," Alexis replied
"I'm sorry, I never told you about being Morgana, I didn't think it would matter that much, keeping a secret isn't easy," Carmela apologized,
Alexis shrugged, "All I know is I'm a Halliwell, We don't hold grudges for long, Well Prue does but I don't."
"We should get back to Hogwarts, I believe you have some presents for Ron and Harry," Carmela stated as she held out her hand.
Lexi smiled and placed her smaller hand in Carmela's. They orbed back to Hogwarts, and into the Gryffindor Common Room,
"I forgot about the time difference, everyone is still sleeping here," Carmela whispered,
Lexi shrugged, "we're still on break too," after that Lexi turned into her tiger cub form and curled up beside the fire to wait for her friends,
Carmela went over to a corner of the room and started to meditate.
Ron finally came down, Lexi-tiger stalked toward him and pounced,
"Lexi? What are you doing back here, and why did you just pounce on me?" Ron asked as he held the tiger cub in his arms, "Better yet can you do that to Harry?"
Lexi gave him a grin and started wriggle to get down, she padded to hide again.
"Harry wake up it's Christmas!" Ron shouted.
Lexi watched at Harry stood on the balcony of the boys' side, "I have presents?"
The tiger cub lowers herself to the floor again, not making any noise. 'Come on, Harry. I want to show you I'm back.'
"Yes, now come on." Ron replied hiding the fact that their friend was waiting for Harry to come down the steps.
Carmela opened her eyes to slits to watch what her charge was up too, she held back a smile as Lexi as She stalked forward,
Harry wasn't paying attention, when he felt something knocking him to the ground, and a small white tiger cub sat on his stomach,
Lexi then proceed to lick his face,
"Yuck, Tiger kisses!" exclaimed Harry,
"Lexi, that is enough." Carmela laughed.
Ron was laughing at Harry, "You got kiss by a girl!"
Lexi tilted her head to the side, she then hopped off of Harry's stomach and pounced at Ron again and this time succeeded in knocking him down.
"What are you going to do now, Lexi?" asked Ron, he was slightly scared of the look in the tiger's eyes.
Lexi then lowered her head and starting licking Ron on the face.
Carmela unfolded her legs and walked up to Lexi, who was still on Ron's chest licking him. She bent down and pick on Lexi by the scuff of her neck,
Lexi felt limp and curled up like a tiger would to being carried by its mother,
"That's enough sugar for you, Missy." Carmela stated, "Now change back, you silly girl."
Once Lexi was on the ground again, she changed back into her human form, "but why I was having fun!"
"Open your presents," Carmela replied,
"Answer to your questions, Ron. I came back because I spent the evening with my sister's then came back to school to spend the rest of the break with you two, as for why I pounced on you, it was fun." Lexi answered.
They took the next hour opening presents, Lexi got line paper to write more music on, a sweater from Mrs. Weasley with the letter A on it, she was still glaring at Ron for that one.
George and Fred were there too, making fun of their mother's gifts.
"Why don't you shut up, at least you have a mum and dad." Alexis barked after she heard the latest joke, "Harry and I don't. You should be grateful that your mum cares about you."
"We're sorry, Lexi" both twins replied now looking down at their bare feet.
Carmela looked at her charge, and felt sorry for her. "I'll be back." she then orbed out.
"I can't believe, you're dragging me from the afterlife, to some school I don't even know about!" complained a voice and made Lexi's head snap up.
Carmela materialized with a older woman with brownish red hair wearing a burgundy dress.
Lexi stood up and glanced between the Elder and her grandmother "Grams!"
Penny Halliwell smiled at her youngest granddaughter, "Lexi, what are you doing here?"
Lexi ran full force at her grams and hugged her tightly, "I miss you, Grams and I go to school here,"
"I miss you too, darling." Penny replied "I might be dead, my baby girl but I need to breathe," she gently loosen her adopted granddaughter's grip.
"What are you doing here?" Lexi asked as she held her grams' hand and lead her over to one of the couches, sitting down Lexi crawled into her grams' lap.
"Carmela's idea, seeing as I was a mother to you and your sisters," Penny replied as she held Lexi in her lap, "Merry Christmas,"
"Lexi, who is she?" asks Harry,
"Sorry, I forgot about you two, Harry, Ron meet Penny Halliwell more commonly known to me as Grams." Lexi introduced, "Grams, two of three best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley,"
"Nice to meet you," Harry and Ron stated.
"What about us?" asked Fred and George
"Those two are Ron's older brothers Fred and George, I can't tell them apart yet." Lexi stated.
"Penny is only here for this one day," Carmela stated, "I have to take her back later tonight."
"Potter that name sounds familiar?" Penny stated. "I think I might your grandparents,"
Harry opened another present while thinking about what Penny had just said, in his lap was a slivery cloak, "Strange, no name."
"What is strange, dear?" Penny asked.
"This note, 'your father left this in my possession , I think its time I returned it to you'," Harry read the note.
"Well put it on," Lexi stated,
Harry stood up and put on the cloak, when he looked down, "My body's gone."
Carmela and Penny looked at each other in awestruck silence, they have never seen one of theses cloaks before but knew what it was.
"What is happening?" Lexi asked as she saw her friend's head appear to the floating in midair.
"It's an invisibility cloak, they're extremely rare to come by," Carmela answered,
"But who sent it?" Penny asked...
They four of them were confused,
Classes started again, Ron, Harry, Lexi, and Hermione were in the Great Hall studying, Lexi copying down multiples of notes a set each for potions classes and the book of shadows. Hermione came over and slammed a rather large book, making the three jump,
Lexi raised an eyebrow that was the same book, she was reading when she brought the BOS to show Hermione,
"I check this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading," Hermione stated.
"You call this light?" Ron asked.
They read a passage on the sorcerer's stone and Flamel,
"I read the same thing, in my book of shadows, most alchemists are evil." Lexi pointed out.
"that explains the blood," Harry wondered,
"Blood?" Lexi and Hermione repeated,
"When that Troll was let in, Snape was trying to get pass that three headed dog," Harry stated,
"What three headed dog?" Lexi asked, "Don't tell me you went to the third floor, I'm a Halliwell but I don't get into that much trouble."
"I bet that is what Snape is trying to steal, The Sorcerer's Stone." Harry stated.
"Harry, are you sure its Snape. I know he's a greaseball but I don't think he's really going to steal something like that," Lexi reasoned,
"Really, what would you do?" Harry asked.
"Simple, I would use a Truth Spell, but that has warnings, all the truth would come out," Lexi replied, "but cool it, the greaseball is heading this way,"
Snape walked up, then. "Good Luck today Potter, even if its against Slytherin,"
"Quidditch is today?" Carmela asked as she orbed down,
Lexi smiled, "Hey Carmela,"
"Hey, Let's watch some Gryffindors beat my old House," Carmela stated loud enough for Snape to hear, Snape's back straightened a little before he fully walked away.
"Oh how I love do that," Carmela laughed.
"Carmela, are you sure you're not a demon?" Lexi asked.
"No, Sweetling, I'm not." Carmela answered, "I'm just an Elder who doesn't follow the rules."
Lexi and Carmela were in the Gryffindor stand watching the game,
"Still not flying on a broom," Lexi commented. She gasped as Harry almost fell off his broom and was hanging on with just one hand,
"Snape is jinxing the broom," Ron stated
Hermione was about to go and distract Snape, but Lexi grabbed her sleeve, "Allow me, I need to get back and that greaseball."
Lexi changed her form to sneak around the stands, until she came to the teachers' stand, she grinned and set Snape's robes on fire,
then went on and looked on as Gryffindor won the game.
