Carmela orbed into the living room after the Angel of Destiny left, she raised an eyebrow at the squealing sisters. She coughed and startled all four sisters and Leo.
"Carmela, you're back!" Alexis exclaimed before leaping at the Elder.
The Elder caught the girl and hugged her back, "Yeah, sorry. But I had matters to deal with in the Wizarding world, now what is going on here?"
"Piper's pregnant," Phoebe replies,
Carmela smiled at Piper and Leo, "Congrats, now would you mind if I steal three of you."
"Depends on who you are stealing?" Harry asks coming into the room along with Cedric,
"You three of course, school's starting in a one week, and I have a surprise for both Lexi and Harry," Carmela answers. "Go on, get your trunks, I'll orb them first."
Alexis looked between her pregnant sister and Carmela,
"Go on, I'll still be here when your break comes," Piper stated, "And if we need you, you'll only an orb or flame away."
Alexis nodded then went to her room, and got her stuff together, she already packed up her uniforms, and left her textbooks in the trunk, along with her wand, she needed to restock her potion supplies but other then that she was ready for another year at school, she dragged her trunk out to the living room,
Cedric used magic and summoned his and Harry's trunks,
"I can't wait to be seventeen," muttered Alexis, "Where are we going?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll explain everything when we get back to headquarters." Carmela replies, before waving her hand in the direction on of the trunks and they orbed off.
Alexis hugged Piper, Phoebe and Paige, then Leo as well.
"Leo, you will come get me if anything, and I mean anything happens." She threatened.
Then Carmela orbed off with Alexis, Cedric and Harry. They appeared in a dusty and dark hallway, there were voices coming from the end
"There's been no sightings," one stated. "No deaths. No proof."
"He almost killed Harry and Alexis. If that isn't proof enough" another argued
Alexis and Harry walked down the hall toward the door, Alexis felt like she's been in the house before.
"Yes, but guarding you-know-what is the most important-" someone else stated. Carmela walked passed and knocked in a secretive way on the door before sliding in. "We must trust Dumbledore on this."
"Was he able to protect Harry or Alexis last year? Well, tonight I say it's time to take action." one of the voice stated. "Cornelius Fudge is a politician first and a wizard second."
Alexis saw Molly Weasley, her father, Remus Lupin and more she didn't know talking. As they walked closer
Molly Weasley walked out into the hallway, and greeted them. "Harry, Cedric, Alexis,"
"Mrs. Weasley." Alexis and Harry greeted.
Molly closed the door and and came over and hugged her adoptive children. "I'm afraid dinner will wait until after the meeting's finished."
Alexis and Harry protested
"Nope. No time to explain. Straight upstairs, first door on the left." Molly explained.
The teens walked upstairs.
"Mudbloods, werewolves, traitors, thieves. If my poor mistress knew the scum they let into her house what would she say to old Kreacher?" a house-elf was muttering to himself. "Oh the shame."
a voice behind a curtain, spoke "Freaks."
"There, there, mistress." Kreacher soothed.
"Scum of the earth. Not like it was in the days of my fathers." the curtained voice stated.
Alexis felt herself drawn to the curtain, like another missing piece of her family was behind it, but jumped when she saw Hermione hug Harry from out of no where.
They entered bedroom,
"So, what is this place?" Harry asked.
"It's headquarters." Ron answers.
"Of the order of the phoenix." Hermione finished "It's a secret society, Dumbledore formed it back when they fought You-Know-Who."
"Couldn't have put any of this in a letter, I suppose?" Alexis asked "We've gone all summer without a scrap of news."
"We wanted to write, mates, Really, we did." Ron replied. "Only,"
"Only what?" Harry asks
"Only Dumbledore made us swear not to tell you three anything." Hermione answers.
"Dumbledore said that?" Harry asks, "But why would he keep us in the dark? Maybe I could help. We've the ones who saw Voldemort return, I'm the one who fought him, I saw him almost kill Alexis,"
Fred and George appeared from out of no where,
"Harry." Fred greeted "Lexi, Ced."
"Thought we heard your dulcet tones." George finishes "Don't bottle it up, though, mate. Let out.
"Anyway if you're all shouting, do you wanna hear something a little more interesting?" Fred asks
Fred, George, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Alexis, Cedric gathered around the stair case and listened in to the Order's meeting, using Fred and George's new invention that looked like ears
"If anyone has a right to know, it's Harry, if it wasn't for Harry we wouldn't even know. Voldemort was back." Sirius stated
"And Alexis and Cedric too, they were there." Carmela adds
"They're not children, Molly." Sirius declares,
"But they're not adults either. Harry's not James, Sirius, and Alexis isn't Evangeline." Molly replies, "Cedric is but he's still in school."
"Well, they're not your children," Sirius argues,
"They're as good as," Molly replies.
Ginny came up,
"Hey Ginny," Harry greets,
"They've got me, and the Halliwells." Sirius states.
"Have touchingly paternal, Black." Snape's voice came next, "Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon, just like his godfather."
"Now, you stay out of this, Snivellus." Sirius states,
Alexis giggles, "Snivellus,"
Crookshanks and Snowdrop, came down the stairs, looking at the ear that was dangling in front of the door.
"Snape's part of the Order?" Harry asks
"Git." Ron replies,
"About your supposed reformation," Snape stated
"I know better." Sirius replies
"So why don't you tell them?" Snape asks
Crookshanks and Snowdrop pounced on the extend-a-ear,
"Get off it."
"Quick."
"Snowdrop," Alexis whispers
"Crookshanks." Hermione seconds. "Stop it,"
"Get off, you bloody cats." George states.
The cats took off with the ear and ate it.
"Hermione, Lexi, I hate your cats." Fred stated
"Bad Crookshanks." Hermione whispers
"Bad Snowdrop, very bad snowdrop." Alexis states.
They went downstairs, as Molly came out "Well, we'll be eating down in the kitchen." Fred and George apparated in front of their mother. Molly jumped in surprise and smacked both twins, "Just because you're allowed to use magic now does not mean you have to whip your wands out for everything."
Alexis fought to keep a straight face, as Molly was lecturing the twins,
"You hungry, Harry, Alexis, Cedric?" Molly asks
"Harry Potter, Alexis Halliwell." Sirius greets from behind Molly and Arthur.
Alexis step in front of Cedric as he was about to pull out his wand, she turned to Cedric, "It's okay, he's innocent." she turned back around as Harry gave Sirius a hug.
Alexis' eyes filled with tears as she ran the three steps to her father, "Dad!" she launched herself at him in a hug.
They sat down to dinner, then.
"Alexis, I have to take you to the Ministry tomorrow, apparently I have register you at the Improper Use of Magic department for your Animagus form." Carmela stated
"Okay," Alexis agrees,
"Show them, they'll find out soon enough." Carmela suggests as Kingsley, an order member hands over the Daily Prophet to Harry, Alexis looks over. The headlines read, the Boy and Charmed One who lies?"
"He's been attacking Dumbledore as well. Fudge is using all his power, including his influence at the Daily Prophet to smear anyone who claims the Dark Lord has returned." Sirius explains.
"Why?" Alexis asks
"The Minister thinks Dumbledore's after his job." Remus Lupin answers
"No one in their right mind could believe that-" Harry states.
"Exactly the point, Fudge isn't in his right mind, it's been twisted and warped by fear." Remus began.
"Now, Fear makes people do terrible things, Harry. The last time Voldemort gained power, he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear." Carmela explains while putting both hands on her two charges' shoulders. "Now he's returned, and I'm afraid the minister will do almost anything to avoid facing that terrifying truth."
Alexis nods "Carmela, is there a chance that Voldemort will try to take over the Underworld?"
Carmela nods "Yes, the other Elders believe so. Since it's so much chaos down there now."
"We think Voldemort wants to build up his army again." Sirius stated, "Fourteen years ago, he had huge numbers at his command. And not just witches and wizards, but all manner of dark creatures. He's been recruiting heavily, and we're been attempting to do the same. But gathering followers isn't the only thing he's interested in." Harry and Alexis looked at him, Sirius sighed, "We believe Voldemort may be after something."
"Sirius." Moody warned.
"Something he didn't have last time." Sirius stated
"You mean like a weapon?" Harry asks
"No. that's enough. They're just children." Molly stated. She walked over and took the Daily Prophet away, "You say more and you might as well induct them into the Order."
"Good. I want to join. If Voldemort's raising an army, then I want to fight." Harry replies
"Me too. I'm a Charmed One." Alexis seconds.
Sirius claps his hands and sits back into his chair giving Molly a smug look. During dinner, all talk about Voldemort ceased.
"Lexi, how are your sisters?" Hermione asks
Alexis smiled huge, "Piper's pregnant. I'm going to be an Aunt."
"Congratulations," Molly replies,
"thanks," Alexis states, "i can't wait to spoil my little niece rotten."
"Are you sure, the baby will be a girl?" Ginny asks
Alexis nods, "Halliwell witches never had boys before, well not including Aunt Lily,"
"What did you say?" Sirius asks, looking at his daughter
"Oh, Lily was adopted by the Evans family, the bloodwards that were on the Dursleys wouldn't work after a real blood family member made the connection, I have a ability to sense Halliwell blood. I felt the connection when I first met Harry on the train. I just thought it was a different." Alexis explains.
The next day, Carmela, Arthur Weasley and Alexis went to the Ministry, Carmela lead the way to the Improper use of magic department where they registered Alexis' tiger form and what she used it for. Fighting demons, warlocks, other evil creatures.
Alexis saw one witch dressed in pink as she walked passed.
"Carmela, who was that?" Alexis asks
"Dolores Umbridge, undersecretary the Minister." Carmela answered before they orbed off.
The following day, the Order members escorted Harry and Alexis to the platform 9 ¾. A black shagging dog trotted right though the crowd. He walked right up to Moody and Tonks
"Padfoot. Are you barking mad?" Moody asks. "You'll blow the entire operation."
Padfoot trotted into a room and changed back into a human,
Harry and Alexis looked at each other before running off to the room.
"Sirius, what are you doing here?" Harry asks
"If somebody sees you..." Alexis trails off with shiver.
"I had to see you both off, didn't I?" Sirius asks
both teens walked over to him, and sat down.
"what's life without a little risk?" Sirius asked again.
"We don't wanna see you get chucked back in Azkaban." Harry replies,
"Don't worry about me," Sirius states, he reaches into the pocket of his coat, "Anyway, I wanted you both to have this,"
He hands Harry a picture,
"Original Order of the Phoenix," Sirius explains then points to figure of a woman, "Marlene McKinnon. She was killed two weeks after this was taken, Voldemort wiped out her entire family. Frank and Alice Longbottom."
"Neville's parents." Alexis whispered as she looked two people who looked just like Neville.
"They suffered a fate worse then death, you ask me." Sirius replies, "It's been 14 years, and still a day doesn't go by I don't miss your dad and your mum, Alexis."
Alexis looked at the picture of her mother, she met her once before as a spirit, but to see her in a picture that wasn't her wedding, was difficult. She looked up at her father, "Do you really think there's going to be a war, Dad?"
"It feels like it did before." Sirius answers.
Harry went to hand back the picture.
"You keep it," Sirius insisted. "Anyway, I suppose you're the young ones now."
"Thanks," Alexis smiled.
Everyone went onto the platform, and boarded the train.
The ride was uneventful, they walked up the carriages, Harry was staring at Cho Chang, as the carriage she was in pulled away.
"Hey guys," Neville greeted when he walked
"Hey, Neville." Alexis, Ron, and Hermione replies
"Hey there, Neville." Harry greeted.
Cedric, Alexis and Harry turned around like they heard something. What they saw was something that looked like skeletal body of a great, black, winged horse.
"What is it?" Alexis asks
"What's what?" Ron asks
"That. Pulling the carriage." Harry replies
"Nothing's pulling the carriage, Harry. It's pulling itself, like aways," Hermione stated.
Alexis, Harry and Cedric stared at the creature, as they went to get into the carriage.
"You're not going mad." a voice stated,
Alexis looked up and seen a blonde haired Ravenclaw student.
"I can see them too." she finished putting down an upside down magazine. "You're just as sane as I am."
everyone climbed in, and sat down.
"Everyone, this is Loony Love—Luna Lovegood." Hermione introduced, changing the subject, "What an interesting necklace."
Luna looked down at her necklace, "It's a charm, actually. Keeps away the Nargles." she looked away toward the castle, "Hungry. I hope there's pudding."
"What's a Nargle?" Ron asks
"No idea." Hermione answers.
That night in the great hall, everyone sat away from Harry and Alexis at the Gryffindor table, just Ron and Hermione sat by them. Alexis looked over at the Hufflepuff table and they were doing the same thing to Cedric.
"Good Evening, children." Professor Dumbledore greets. "Now, we have two changes in staffing this year. We're pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank, who'll be taking Care of Magical Creatures while Professor Hagrid is on temporary leave. We also like to wish to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Dolores Umbridge. And I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing the professor good luck. Now, as usual, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you-"
"She works for Fudge, I saw her when Carmela took me to registered my Animagus form," Alexis whispers,
"Thank you, Headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me." Professor Umbridge interrupts. No one is smiling at her "I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends."
"That's likely." FredandGeorge sarcastically stated.
"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizard of vital importance. Although each Headmaster has brought something new to this historic school..." Umbridge nodstoDumbledore "progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be prohibited."
Soft applause starts
"Thank you Professor Umbridge, that really was most illuminating." Dumbledore replies,
"Illuminating?" Ron questions "What a load of waffle!"
"What's it mean?" Harry asks
"It means the Ministry's interfering at Hogwarts." Hermione answers,
when they were dismissed, Alexis and Harry went up th Gryffindor Tower, Alexis planning on going to her own dorm, later by flaming. One active power, Carmela bullied the other Elders into letting waving the Personal Gain thing because Alexis uses it to travel around the world, from the Manor to Hogwarts.
Harry and Alexis felt eyes on them, like everyone thought they were crazy and had copies of the Daily Prophet.
"Dean, Seamus, good holiday?" Harry asks,
"Alright, better than Seamus's anyway." Dean answers,
Seamus stood up "My mum didn't want me to come back this year."
"Why not?" Alexis asks,
"Let me see, because of you two! The Daily Prophet's been saying a lot of things about you both, Lexi, Harry. And about Dumbledore as well." Seamus answers,
"And your mum believes them?" Harry asks
"Well, nobody was there the night Alexis faked her death, besides you and Cedric." Seamus replies.
Harry states,angrily "Oh well, I guess you should read the Prophet. Then like your stupid mother, it'll tell you everything you need to know!"
"Don't talk about my mother!" Seamus exclaims
"I'll have a go at anyone that calls me a liar!" Harry replies,
"How dare you not believe the word of Charmed One," Alexis snaps. "I'll have a go at anyone too,"
Ron enters the common room. "What's going on?"
"He's mad, is what's going on!" Seamus exclaims, "Do you believe the rubbish they're coming out with about You-Know-Who?"
"Yeah, I do." Ron answers, "Has anyone else got a problem with Harry or Alexis?"
Harry turned and walked up to the boys' dormitory, Alexis flamed out.
Alexis flamed into her room, and flung herself on the couch,
"You alright, Lexi?" Melinda Warren asked as she walked into another picture,
"I'm fine." Alexis replies,
"But they'll come through. You'll see-" Melinda stated
"I said I'm fine Melinda!" Alexis interrupts
"Right. I'll just leave you to your thoughts then." She replies, then leaves the Common Room to her outside portrait. Alexis felt into a fitful sleep that night.
DarkPriestess66: The start of fifth year, I'm changing alot that has happened most of it will be the same. Also Alexis can use her transportion power in Hogwarts because it's not apparation
