hapter 17 The Anamagi Alexa was still crying about killing her parents when Sirius woke up, half an hour later. Alexa hadn't said anything since she had said goodbye to her parents. Sirius was so mad at himself that he wasn't awake to protect Harry and he wouldn't listen to any of them when they tried to tell him it wasn't his fault. So Sirius took Alexa, Harry, Ron and Hermione back to Hogwarts in his human form although they were all against it. The townspeople that were out were scared beyond belief but since Sirius was carrying Alexa, because she'd used most of her strength killing Voldemort, the people were confused. "Run kids! You're walking with a murderer! Run!" one of the villagers told them. They stopped and Hermione told the man what had happened. Alexa was extremely pale and trembling so he quietly told Ron he was taking Alexa back to Hogwarts. Harry went with, because he and Alexa would have to tell Dumbledore what had happened. They walked into Dumbledore's office and started explaining. "Professor Dumbledore?" Alexa suddenly asked, still white as a ghost. "Will I have to go to Azkaban because I used the fireball curse and the Avada Kedavra?" "No. "Dumbledore said. "You used all your strength doing it and I don't believe you could possibly do it again. You defeated the worst wizard of all time with it. I believe that you shall be getting an Order of Merlin, First class." Alexa had stopped crying by then, but tear marks were still on her face and she was still trembling and pale. Dumbledore had seen this so he told Sirius to carry her down to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey screamed when she saw Sirius but she saw Dumbledore and he told her it was ok, so she had Sirius lay her down on a bed. She gave Alexa a potion to go to sleep, which Alexa drank, almost gratefully. * * * * * The next morning, Alexa woke to hear screaming. "That's right! Fudge! Dead! Killed by the Death Eaters!" "They'll wake her if they yell anymore" Alexa heard Sirius say. "Doesn't matter. I'm already awake. What happened?" "Apparently Fudge was killed by the Death Eaters after they heard what happened so they took revenge. They'll be coming after you now." "Yeah, but if Alexa can handle Voldemort, she can handle the Death Eaters." "Don't remind me. I didn't want to kill them but I had to." "You did it for a good reason. Everyone could have been killed and the world would be chaotic." "Now I'm, just like my father. He killed his parents...well…his father anyway. Now I killed mine." Alexa said, not seeming to have heard Sirius at all. "Calm down. You were trying to save everyone from them and you did." "And now you just have to deal with the Death Eaters." Ron said. Alexa looked over at him, noticing him and Hermione for the first time, with a crazy look on her face. "How did you and Harry become Anamagi?" Hermione asked "We were studying all year. Well...since before Christmas I guess. But not all year." "You're gonna teach us how, right?" Ron asked. "No, you aren't." Sirius said, starting to smile. "Sirius, what if we register? That way we wouldn't be braking the law." Hermione asked. Sirius sighed. "Maybe. But you'd have to be registered." he said shaking his head. All four of them nodded. "Who do you think is going to be Minister now?" "Wouldn't it be funny if Mr. Weasley was the Minister?" Hermione asked, giggling. "It would be kind of funny." "Yeah, Weasley, maybe you could get some money for a change." "What're you doing here Malfoy?" Harry asked. "You're a murderer. You're supposed to be the one who's been said to kill Potter." "He's innocent. What do you want?" Hermione said. "I want to talk to Alexa. Alone." Hermione, Harry, Ron and Sirius all looked at Alexa. Alexa sighed. "All right. Go on. And don't listen!" she called after them.
