chapter four
the talk

"Come on, have a seat." Alicia had said these simple words as soon as Lisa had entered the kitchen, immediately noticing how the only one present there was Alicia and herself.

"Do you know why are you here?" asked Alicia, which made Lisa go nervous instantly, her mind running at high speed to think back to anything that she had done wrong or a mistake that she had accidentally made.

And then she remembered. Oh, yes! It could be about the one one time she had accidentally let slip in front of Harry about how he and Cho are going to be a couple, but fortunately no one thought too much about it considering how they all had started laughing as Harry's face had turned even redder than Ron's hair color.

"Is-Is it about what I said to Harry? Because I can explain it. I-I didn't mean to tell him anything. I just said that in excitement." she asked immediately, her eyes wide as the woman before her started laughing a bit.

"Ok, calm down." Alicia chuckled. "I am not here to scold you or anything. We are gonna just talk about you."

"Me?" Lisa asked her. Have they already found a way to send her back? No, but isn't it too early?

"Yes, you." she nodded. "So, as you know it's completely impossible for a muggle to see Hogwarts let alone the fact you can go inside it. Hence, it's clear that somehow you have magical blood pumping through your veins."

Magical blood? Pumping through her veins? She has got to be kidding her. She knows one thing for sure that neither her mother nor her father is a witch or wizard. But what if they are? And they have been hiding it for her own good or some stuff like that?

"Professor Dumbledore talked to me about this. He said that you are doing some research on my family. Did you find any leads?" she asked eagerly.

"Unfortunately, no." said Alicia, crushing all her hopes of being a real witch.

"That's why I called you here, which I should have done in the very beginning, to know about your family. Anything you can tell me." she continued. "What your parents do in the future, your grandparents; the main things about your life in the future."

Her life? That won't be too difficult, because after all it's the only thing besides 'Harry Potter's life', that she knows all too perfectly. But still when someone asks you a brief synopsis of your own life....., well it does take a little thinking, maybe more than a little.

"Um..." she wrung her hands thinking hard, "My parents, they are both doctors. They have their own clinic-"

"What are their names?" interrupted Alicia.
