Chapter 3 The Letter Alexa laid in bed that night thinking. "If anybody ever found out about what really happened to my parents...I don't know. It could be the downfall of Voldemort but then it might not be. I hope Dumbledore never makes me tell anyone." she said quietly. After an hour of thinking about it, Alexa finally fell asleep. *~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The next morning Alexa got up and dressed and went down to the common room to find Ron, Harry and Hermione with some twins with the same firey red hair Ron had. Guessing that they were brothers with Ron Alexa went down and joined them. "Hey Alexa, these are my brothers, Fred and George." "I couldn't tell," Alexa said sarcastically. "So you transferred from another school eh?" said one of the twins. "Yeah and don't bother asking beacuse it isn't in any books because its so small." "Lets go get some breakfast," said Harry. So they went down to the Great Hall and sat down. When they started eating their toast and porridge, hundreds of owls swooped in and started dropping letters or packages into their owners laps. A small brown owl dropped a letter in front of Alexa and a large snowy owl dropped a letter in front of Harry. "It's from-" Harry said as he opened it up. Harry, Ron and Hermione all looked up at Alexa. "How about you three read your letter and I'll read mine like people normally do with mail." Alexa said grinning. "Ok" said Harry. Alexa's letter read: Alexa, I heard you were going to Hogwarts this year. If you ever need to contact me just send me an owl. I'm not too far away so it'll be easier too talk to you without waiting days for an answer. Be nice to Harry Sirius "Hey he talked about you Alexa," Ron said. "What? Who?" "Shut up Ron." said Hermione. "Hermione if he knows who Alexa is, then it'd be ok to tell her. Alexa who is your letter from?" Ron asked. Alexa pushed her letter toward them and they read it. "See? It's ok to tell Alexa about what happened in our third year." Ron said. "What that you guys helped rescue him?I already know about that, he told me." Just then McGonagall came around handing out the schedules. "Here you are Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter and Alexa." "When did you sign up for your classes?" Ron asked. "I told you I was here over the summer getting everything arranged and I signed up then." "What are you taking?" Hermione asked. "Muggle Studies" "Oh that was boring" "Hermione your parents are Muggles so you already know all that stuff." Ron said. "I live around Muggles now that I've moved but my parents were a witch and wizard." "At least you don't have to live with the Dursley's," Harry said. "Where do they live anyway?" "Privet Drive, Number 4." "Hey I think that's near where I live! I'm neighbors with this really wierd lady and I think Privet Drive is only a block or two away." "Her name wouldn't be Mrs. Figg would it?" "Yeah I think that's her name." "So over the summer I could escape to your house and I would actually have a friend around and the Dursley's won't have me." "We have to get going to Transfiguration, or we're going to be late" Hermione said. "Ok I think it's time to get serious you guys. I think that as long as your with me your safe from Voldemort." Alexa said remembering her secret. "Why do you think that? Nobody's safe when Voldemorts around." Harry said. "No your wrong.People with secret keepers aren't safe because if you torture the keeper then they could eventually tell. Only one person is safe from him. And that's me." "But why you? No offense but your just a fifteen year old witch.How do you expect to survive an encounter with You-Know-Who?" asked Ron. "And Harry's probably the luckiest person alive when it comes to danger and you can't possibly be luckier than Harry! He's escaped You-Know-Who four times!" Hermione added. "Well I am...I'll explain it to you guys later. It's to early to tell you this but I think you should know before you really decide to be friends with me. But let me tell you this. I've never told a lie. In a way everything I say is true. Trust me on that" "Great leave us wondering what this big secret of your's is right before Transfiguration," Ron said sarcastically."Move it Peeves." Peeves who had been bouncing off the walls stuck his tounge out and zoomed away. "I'll tell yout tonight but trust me, you really don't want to know this." Alexa said. "It can't be that bad," Hermione said. "It is, come on we're going to be late."
