The Heir of Gryffindor

Chapter 2: Dinner with the Potter's, Weasley's and the....Malfoy's?

~Alexis~
We got to the Potter's. Rose and I linked our arms together, making both of us giggle as Mrs. Potter let us in. Rose and I went to Lily's room. I knocked on the door, "Lilian Potter!" I said sweetly. Lily laughed and opened the door. We hugged each other like we haven't seen each other in a few years. All three of us sat on the bed and talked for about two hours. I smiled then heard the parents talking. All three of us smirked and went to listen.

"Harry are you sure you want to go back to Hogwarts? I mean the kids can take care of this..." Mrs. Weasley said
"I'm sure...Hermione, how well does Rose know Alexis?" Mr. Potter asked. I raised an eyebrow and listened.
"Harry. I know what you're thinking." Mr. Weasley started, "Alexis is Edward and Kenna's daughter. She is smart like them. This new threat is going after someone. We have to go to protect our kids." Mr. Potter sighed, "Fine."
Lily, Rose, and I went back up to Lily's room. "What was that about?" Lily asked. I bit my lip. Could it be about my parents?

Rose made the daily prophet appear. "Darkness falls over Digon Alley as former death eaters destroy three shops and steal everything in these shops. Also, they burn the pictures of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Godric Gryffindor that were being sold in these shops. Dozens of people are wounded, none were killed. Possible next targets are Hogwarts, the Potter and Weasley Manors." I bit my lip harder than paced. Lily and Rose watched as I was thinking. I couldn't think of anything. I sighed in defeat, then we started talking about this next year.

"Girls! Dinner is ready!" Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Weasley yell. We smiled then went downstairs. James already had a place for me to sit by him but I saw people come in with blonde hair. Malfoy. I looked away and James put his lips to my ear, "My dad invited them because of Albus being friends with him......it will be okay." He took my hand and turned away from me.

I pulled my hand away as Mr. Malfoy came to me. "You must be Kenna's daughter...I'm a very good friend of your mother's" Mr. Malfoy shook my hand. "You mean was." I said softly. He raised an eyebrow. "Sir my mother is dead....she's been dead since I was two..." He frowned and sighed sadly. "Well this is news to me....who do you live with now?" He asked.

"I live with my aunt and grandmother." I replied kindly. Scorpius came up to us. "Red." He hissed.  I straighten. "Malfoy....nice to see you." James was behind me. Since our 1st year, Scorpius has not liked me. If he was a professor, he would definitely fail me. "You're lucky to have a potter on your side, Red." Scorpius turned and walked away angrily. Mr. Malfoy sighed and took my hand, as gently as he could.

"Actually Alexis...your mother named me your godfather if that's okay with you." Mr. Malfoy was nicer than his son. I smiled softly, "That's quite alright with me." He smiled a bit. I sat down by James then everyone else.
Mr. Potter stood, "Welcome everyone. This dinner in is honor of family. I never had family growing up, but during the war and now.... I have family......Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Draco.... our children...I can't thank you enough." He sat then everyone at the table clapped for him. I smiled a bit then we all ate. Everyone started talking expect me. Mrs. Weasley turned to me. "So Alexis how is being a seeker on the Gryffindor team?"

I smiled, "It's great but I can't beat Mr. Potter's record." Mr. Potter laughed a little, "I bet James can help you on that." James rolled his eyes then I smiled at Mr. Potter. He winked at me then smirked a bit. I could hear a scoff from none other than Scorpius. I rolled my eyes and went silent again. All the adults wondered why. I held a fist under the table as James took my hand to stop. I looked at him and he smiled softly. I sighed and stood. "I need some air." I walked out the back door then went out. I paced a little to calm down.I heard someone walk out. "I'm not in the mood for a talk James." I muttered. A chuckled came out of the man's throat, "Well that's good because I'm not James." I turned and saw a man. "Who are you?" I backed away. He chuckled, "You look like your mother. Too bad she had to die." He vanished. I shook it off and went back inside, Rose and her parents were waiting for me and I gladly went with them.

"Kenna you're something special.....something that Harry Potter needs." An old man said to my mother. My mother looked at him. "He's going to die isn't he?" She whispers. The man nodded. "But you can save everyone when he is gone......" Kenna looked up, then walked to the man. "I know, father. I know."

I gasped waking up. "Mom....." I got my sketch pad out and my wand. "Lumos." I whispered then began to draw the man I saw. I finished then went back to sleep hoping to have a better dream then the last.

"Edward and Kenna Red. You are guilty of the charge of stealing the sword of Gryffindor and have been sentenced to death." The judge said. Kenna held me tightly, not wanting to let me go. "Alexis....you are so loved. Mommy and daddy love you, remember that." Kenna turned to the people watching, "My daughter has nothing to do with my actions. We never touched the sword of Gryffindor. My name is Kenna Elizabeth Dumbledore Red and I am not guilty for this crime." Mr. Potter had a tear down his cheek. My grandmother took me in her arms then my mother went on to death, greeting death like an old friend.
