The next day, Alexis was sitting in DADA class, waiting on Professor Umbridge. Carmela has agreed to let her take this class again this year but she had the choice to walk right out.

Professor Umbridge walked in and incinerated at magical origami bird that Parvati had conjured. "Your previous instruction for this subject has been disturbingly uneven. But you will be pleased to know, from now on you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic. She magically passed out books, Hermione raises her hand "Yes?"

"There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?" Hermione asks

"Using spells?" Umbridge laughs "Why I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom."

"We're not gonna use magic?" Ron asks

"You'll be learning about defensive spells, in a secure risk-free way." Umbridge answers,

"Well, what use is that? If we're gonna be attacked, it won't be risk-free." Alexis spoke up, this fraud was getting out her nerves.

"Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all is what school is all about!" Umbridge exclaimed.

"And how is theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?" Harry asks

"There is nothing out there, dear. Who would you imagine would want to attack children like yourself?" Umbridge asks

"Oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort?"Harryreplies,

"Now let me make this quite plain. You have been told that a certain Dark Wizard is at large once again. This... is... a... lie!" Umbridge explains

"It's not a lie, I saw him! I fought him!" Harry exclaims

"Detention, Mr. Potter!"

"So according to you; I faked my own death for nothing?" Alexis asks, she stood up and threw the book on the ground, "I'm out of this class, Carmela is a better teacher then you." she was about to turn around and leave when something shimmered in behind Umbridge.

"Get Down!" Alexis shouted. She flamed behind Umbridge and the demon, and tap it on the shoulder. "Hello, looking for someone?"

"You, Charmed One!" answers the demon as he forms an energy ball.

Alexis backflips away, "Catch me if you can, demon." she flames away.

"What was that?" Umbridge asks shocked.

"One of the things, that isn't out there, A demon." Harry replies, hoping Alexis would be alright.

Alexis flamed outside of the school, and the demon shimmered in behind her. Alexis whirled around, when she sensed it. She formed her own fireball and threw it at the demon, not before the demon threw an Athame at her. It connected with her stomach, and she flamed back inside and landed in a heap on the floor of the DADA classroom.

Harry noticed the flames as Alexis came back in, and his heart nearly stopped when he saw the Athame sticking out of her stomach, "Carmela!" he shouted as he got up and ran to his cousin and best friend.

Alexis looked as Harry cradled her head in his lap, "Damn demons,"

Carmela orbed down and gasped as she saw Alexis' robes darkening with blood, "Harry, move away." the Elder knelt down, "This is going to hurt,"

"Just take the damn thing out," Alexis snapped then held her breathe as Carmela pulled theAthameout.

Carmela held her hands over Alexis' bleeding stomach, and Healed the wound, and robes.

Alexis gasped for breathe, and stood up.

"I hate demons wanting to kill me in order to take over the underworld," Alexis stated,

"A demon attacked here?" Carmela asked "and you didn't summon it?"

"Nope," Alexis answered, "I'm going back to my dorm, to look at the Book of Shadows." she left then.

"So much for a risk-free learning," Carmela stated, glaring at Umbridge. "Nice teacher you are, can't even save your own student." she orbs off.

Later that evening, Harry came back from his detention with Umbridge, Ron and Hermione were sitting on a couch by the fire. And Alexis had flamed in just before and was sitting on the floor crossed legged with the Book of Shadows in her arms,

"What's wrong with your hand?" Hermione asks

"Nothing." Harry answers,

Alexis looks up as Harry hides his left hand under his book and shows Hermione, his right hand "Your other hand." She reaches up and grabs his left arm from under his book, and gasps there craved on his hand were the words, 'I must not tell lies'

"You've got to tell Dumbledore!" Hermione exclaims,

"No. Dumbledore's got enough on his mind right now. Anyway, I don't want to give Umbridge the satisfaction." Harry replies,

"Like Hell, I know he's been ignoring us, but he can't ignore this, even my sisters wouldn't ignore this," Alexis states.

"Bloody hell, Harry, the woman's torturing you! If the parents knew about this..." Ron adds,

"Yeah, well I haven't got any of those, have I Ron?" Harry asks

"Harry, you've got to report this! It's perfectly simple, you're being..." Hermione began

"No, it's not! Hermione whatever this is, it's not simple. You don't understand." Harry interrupts

Hermione exclaims, "Then help us to!"

Harry just gets up and walks away,

Alexis stood up too, "Harry James Potter Halliwell, you will not walk away from me!" she began to chase after her cousin. Having to resort to flaming, she flamed in front of him and grabbed his shoulder and flamed out.

They flamed into Alexis' common room,

"Sit!" She ordered "Don't make me call Paige to bring Piper and Phoebe over here to kick Umbridge's ass. Because I want to save that for myself,"

Harry sat down, "You wouldn't understand."

"Wouldn't understand? You are more a Halliwell then I am, I've been your friend since first year, heck I've been your family all our lives, so trust me already," Alexis replies, "If I didn't walk out of that class, I would have the same thing on my hand,"

Harry just stared at her, not saying anything.

The months had passed, Alexis was concerned about Cole's deteriorating sanity, it seems that he wasn't coping well with his break up with Phoebe,

"Mermaids, insane humans with demonic powers, and mummies, Oh my." Alexis muttered, as she folded up Paige's last letter, and put in her pocket of her cloak, a lot has happened,

after class that evening, she went to her desk and got out a sheet of parchment and her quill and ink,

Piper,

I agree with the not vanquishing demons in your last trimester, I hope I can flame home for the birth, because it wouldn't seem fair if I miss it, I'll see if Harry wants to come home too, but I doubt it, since We're planning a home birth, after all how would you explain the swirl orbs the baby will be born in, things have been, let's say difficult this year, I won't go into it right now, since the Ministry is overlooking the mail.

Love

Alexis,

"So how is everyone?" a voice stated over her shoulder, she jump as she saw it was Draco,

"How did you get in here?" Alexis asks

"I knew the password, Charmed." Draco answers with his trademark smirk on his other wise handsome face.

"I'm going to smack that smirk right off your face, Ferret boy." Alexis snarled.

"Temper, yesh. I can't come see my own cousin?" Draco asked as he made himself at home in Alexis' common room.

"Kuari," Alexis calls, and her eagle-owl flapped over, she petted his crest before giving him the letter and he flew out the window. Alexis turns to Draco, "You know one of these days you're going to chose a side me or Voldy, and I will be forced to fight you and I won't enjoy it."

Draco just stared at her, "You do know, I'm on your side, I hate to admit it outloud but my father does need to go to Azkaban,"

"Good, be my spy then, when Umbridge tries to take over, you know that is why she was sent here for," Alexis replies

The next day, Alexis woke up with a cold, from sleeping with out covers on. She was sneezing and flaming at the same time, one sneeze and flaming later and she ended up in a very dark looking Hogwarts with about a million wands pointed at her.

"Oh snap." Alexis muttered.
