Weeks after weeks Harry and Alexis found life at Hogwarts after the dueling club incident highly irritating, there were whispers and rumors flying around the school, only people who weren't affected by them were Cedric, who Alexis has explained about how a Wiccan witch gained new active powers, and how the other Elders decided that Alexis should be given the power to speak to snakes without advanced warning, Ron and Hermione were the only ones who stayed true friends.
Harry and Alexis were sitting in Study hall working on coursework, when they felt eyes on them again, they turned and saw two Slytherin girls staring at them. Getting tired of the stares, they closed their journals and put away the quills they were using.
"I'll see you back in the common room." Harry stated.
"Me too." Alexis agreed.
As they were walking past all the students' heads turned to stare after them. Just after they entered the corridor, they heard the voice again. Harry and Alexis followed along the wall as they listened to the voice.
"I want blood. They all must die. Kill. Kill. Kill. Time to Kill."
the voice moved off and the two Parselmouth walked on. They turned a corner and saw Nearly Headless Nick floating petrified and on the ground was Justin. Harry and Alexis knelt beside him just trying to figure out what happened. When a voice spoke.
"Caught in the act."
They turned around and found Mr. Filch standing there. "I'll have you out this time, Potter, and you too Halliwell. Mark my words." he turned and walked away
"No. Mr. Filch! You don't understand-" Harry began.
"Just stop, nothing we say is going to matter." Alexis interrupted. She looked down as more spiders were crawling away from the castle.
Mr. Filch came back around the corner and he was not alone, Professor McGonagall was with him. She gasped when she saw the two petrified people.
"Professor..." Harry began. "I swear, We didn't."
"This is out of my hands, Potter." Professor McGonagall replied.
Harry and Alexis followed Professor McGonagall down a corridor to a Eagle statue.
"Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for you." Professor McGonagall explained. She motioned for the two students to step up beside the Eagle. When they did, she raised her hands, "Sherbet Lemon."
the statue began to circle around into stairs, the two step on one and rode the staircase to the top, when they came to a stop there was a small hallway leading to a door,
"Professor Dumbledore?" Harry called out as he opened the door. They walked around until they found the Sorting Hat sitting on a bookshelf.
"Bee in your bonnet, Potter?" asked the Hat
"I was just wondering if you put me in the right house." Harry replied.
Alexis stayed silent because she already knew she would never fit into just one of the houses, being a Halliwell meant being brave, smart and cunning. So no innocent found out again the struggle against Good and Evil.
"Yes. You were particularly difficult to place. But I stand by what I said last year. You would have done well in Slytherin." explained the Hat
"You're wrong." Alexis whispered.
The two walked away from the Hat and looked at a very old red-orange bird, who burst into flames.
"Harry, Alexis?" Dumbledore's voice asked. The duo looked up and saw him on the stairs above their heads.
"Professor." Harry began
"Your bird...there was nothing I could do." Alexis finished.
"He just caught fire," Harry added
"And about time too. He's been looking dreadful for days." Dumbledore stated. "Pity you had to see him on a burning day."
the two must have had a expression on their faces because Dumbledore walked down the stairs.
"Fawkes is a phoenix, Harry, Alexis. They burst into flame when it is time for them to die and then they are reborn from the ashes." Dumbledore explained.
Harry and Alexis step closer to see the ashes were moving and up popped a head of a tiny little baby phoenix,
"He's adorable." Alexis cooed, then looked at Harry when she saw him giving her a strange look, "What I'm a girl. I'm allowed moments like that."
"Fascinating creatures, phoenixes. They can carry immensely heave loads. Their tears have healing powers." Dumbledore went on as he leaned over to view the newer Fawkes.
The door burst open and Hagrid step in carrying a dead chicken. "Professor Dumbledore, sir! Wait! Listen! Professor Dumbledore, sir, it wasn't Harry or Alexis."
"Hagrid." Dumbledore stated.
"I'd be prepared to swear it in front of the Ministry of Magic" Hagrid went on
"Hagrid!" exclaimed Dumbledore "Relax. I do not believe that Harry or Alexis attacked anyone."
"of course you don't." Hagrid agreed before realizing what Dumbledore just said. "Oh, Right, well, I'll just wait outside, then."
"Yes." Dumbledore replied.
"You don't think it was us, professor?" Alexis asked.
"No, Alexis. I do not think it was you." Dumbledore answered. "But I must ask you is there something you wish to tell me?"
a few seconds of thinking, the duo shook their heads, "No, sir. Nothing"
"very well, then." Dumbledore stated. "Off you go."
Christmas Holiday came, Alexis chose to stay at Hogwarts this time with out orbing to her sisters.
Hermione and Ron were staying as well, at dinner. Hermione and Alexis came over with their plates and sat down.
"Everything's set. We just need a bit of who you're changing into." Hermione stated.
"Crabbe and Goyle." Harry agreed
"We also need to make sure that the real Crabbe and Goyle can't burst in on us while we're interrogating Malfoy." Alexis added.
"How?" Ron asked.
"I've got it all worked out," Alexis answered, she reached into her bag and pulled two cupcakes out. "I filled these with a simple Sleeping Draught. Simple, but powerful. Luckily Carmela is in the states right now playing Santa."
"Now, once they're asleep hid them in the broomstick cupboard and pull out a few of their hairs and put on their uniforms." Hermione instructed
"Whose hair are you ripping out, then?" Ron asked.
"I've already got mine." Hermione replied. "Millicent Bulstrode. Slytherin. I got this off her robes" she held a vile of hair up. "I'm going to check on the Polyjuice Potion."
"I'm not turning into anyone, I'm a default Slytherin remember." Alexis answered. "I can go anywhere." she pushed the two cupcakes toward Harry and Ron, "Make sure that Crabbe and Goyle find these."
Hermione and Alexis stood up and left.
A while later the four were in the girls' lavatory, Hermione was dipping out three glasses of Polyjuice Potion.
"We'll have exactly one hour before we change back into ourselves." Hermione stated. She passed them out, "Add the hairs."
Ron made a disgusted noise, "Essence of Crabbe,"
Alexis wrinkled her nose at that, "Well we got Ode to Goyle over here,"
"Cheers." Hermione stated
Alexis watched as her friends ran into different stalls like they were going to be sick. Only Harry didn't. Her eyes widen as Harry transformed into Goyle.
Ron as Crabbe came out of the stall, "Harry?"
"Ron."
"Blood Hell!" Ron exclaimed.
"we still sound like ourselves," Harry stated, "You need to sound more like Crabbe."
Ron tired once again to prefect Crabbe's voice. "But where's Hermione?"
"I...I don't think I'm going. You go on without me."
"Hermione, are you okay?" Harry asked.
"Just go. You're wasting time." Hermione replied.
"Come on," Alexis ordered as she started to run out of the lavatory. "The Slytherin common room's this way," she walked down a corridor of the dungeons.
As they were walking down the corridor.
"Excuse me." Percy's voice sounded as he saw them walking past.
"What are you doing d-?" Ron began Harry elbowed him in the side. "I mean, What are you doing down here."
"I happen to be a school prefect." Percy answered. "You, on the other hand, have no business wandering the corridors at night. What are your names again?"
Alexis smirked as she hid behind 'Goyle' he was taller and she couldn't be seen. She turned around when Draco came around the corner. "Help me" she mouthed.
"I'm..." Harry began
"Crabbe, Goyle, Where have you two been?" Draco asked. He walked up "Pigging out in the Great Hall all this time?"
Draco now stood in front of Alexis, he looked a 'Goyle' "Why are you wearing glasses?"
"Reading." Harry answered.
"Reading? I didn't know you could read." Draco repeated. He turned back to Percy "And what are you doing down here, Weasley?"
"Mind your attitude, Malfoy." Percy growled.
Draco walked off and the other three followed. Inside the Slytherin common room, Draco and Alexis flopped down on a couch. Alexis playing up the part of she belonged.
"Well, Sit down." Draco ordered. Harry and Ron sat down. "You'd never know the Weasleys were pure-bloods, the way they behave. They're an embarrassment to the wizarding world. All of them."
Alexis saw that Ron's hand tightened into a fist. "What's wrong with you, Crabbe?" she asked too sweetly.
"Stomachache." Ron answered.
"You know, I'm surprised the Daily Prophet hasn't done a report on all these attacks. I suppose Dumbledore is trying to hush it all up." Draco stated. "Father always said Dumbledore was the worst thing to happen to this school."
"That's a lie." Alexis snapped.
"You think there's someone who is worse then Dumbledore?" Draco asked feeling glad that Alexis' was speaking to him again.
"Harry Potter?" asked Alexis, she hopped that Harry would forgive her for this, "I felt sorry for him, you know not having parents and all that."
"Good one, Lexi. You're absolutely right. Saint Potter and people actually think that he's one of the Heirs of Slytherin, You, Lexi have more of chance at being the Heir then him." Draco answered. He stood up
"Thanks. I think." Alexis replied.
"But then you must have some idea who's behind it all." Harry stated.
"You know I don't Goyle. I told you yesterday. How many time do I have tell you?" Draco asked. He walked over and sat on a desk.
Alexis stood up and walked over, and whispered "You know those two aren't bright enough to remember anything."
Draco stood a box, "Is this yours?"
Harry shook his head.
"But my father did say this: It's been 50 years since the Chamber was opened. He wouldn't tell me who opened it. Only that they were expelled. The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, A Mudblood died. So it's only a matter of time before one of them is killed this time. As for me I hope it's Granger." Draco went on.
Alexis closed her eyes and tried to find inner calm before she punched Draco in the face. She wasn't angry at him for calling Hermione a Mudblood but she wouldn't forgive him any time soon, unless he made a formal apology in her Common Room.
Ron stood up ready to punch Draco. But Harry grabbed him.
"What's the matter with you two?" Draco asked. "You're acting very odd."
"It's his stomachache." Harry explained.
Alexis noticed that they were turning back into themselves, "Well cousin, I'm going to bed." she took the attention off of the other two as they ran off.
She left and ran to the lavatory.
"That was close." Ron stated by to being himself.
"Hermione, come out. We've got loads to tell you." Harry called.
"Go away." Hermione ordered.
Myrtle float out. "Wait till you see. It's awful."
"Hermione?" Alexis questioned as she pushed open the stall door. "Are you okay?"
"Do you remember me tell you...that the polyjuice potion was only for human transformations?" Hermione asked. "It was cat's hair I plucked off Millicent Bulstrode's robes." she turned around and she was transformed into a Cat. "Look at my face."
"Look at your tail." Ron replied.
The three of them were walking up the stairs to go to their common rooms,
"Have you spoken to Hermione?" Ron asked.
"She should be out of hospital in a few days when she stops coughing up fur balls." Alexis answered. They stopped when they noticed water on the floor. "What's this?"
the three began to run down the corridor splashing water as they ran.
"Yuck!" exclaimed Ron
"Looks like Moaning Myrtle's flooded the bathroom." Harry stated.
They walked into the bathroom. They spotted Myrtle sitting in the window crying.
"Come to throw something else at me?" She asked.
"Why would I throw something at you?" Harry asked.
"don't ask me. Here I am, minding my own business...and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me." Myrtle explained.
"But it can't hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean, it'll just right though you." Ron stated.
Myrtle floated down angrily "Sure! Let's all throw books at Myrtle because she can't feel it. Ten points if you get it though her stomach!" she punched Ron's stomach. "Fifty points if it goes though her head!" she punched at Ron's head.
"But who threw it at you, anyway?" Harry asked.
"I don't know. I didn't see them. I was just sitting in the U-bend thinking about death and it fell though the top of my head." Myrtle answered her anger forgotten as it was Harry that asked. She started to wail and turned and floated away.
Harry walked over and picked up a book
