Harry thought he was going to go crazy wondering about Alexa.
"I just wish someone would tell me something," he complained to Hermione one night.
"If only we had a pensieve," she mused. Harry nodded.
"Why is it so important to you?" she asked suddenly.
Harry thought for a moment. "She knew my parents. And she was close to Sirius. And something strange obviously happened to her. Something unusual. I just want to know."
Hermione nodded. "Well, I think I may be able to help," she said.
Harry's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "What? Really? How!?"
Hermione laughed at his expression. "The wizard registry. You can look up any wizard in there, dead or alive."
Harry groaned. Why hadn't he thought of that? "Well, what are we waiting for?" he asked, excited.
Hermione bit her lip. "Well, it won't be easy. Usually you go to the Ministry to look in the registry. And we can't send out owls willy-nilly, or we could be found…"
Harry wondered if he would ever find out about Alexa.
