Alexis Liddel is the daughter of Alice from Wonderland. Just like her mother, she was taken to the mysterious land, but...

I TOOK in the new aspects of the castle as Hagrid lead me towards the headmaster's office, even though I already knew my way anyway. I already noticed a new and quite strange looking tree which Hagrid said was called the 'Whomping Willow'. Why would a tree have a name like that? Although the branches were moving earlier...
"Where were ye' all 'dos years?" Hagrid asked me from in front, drawing me out of my thoughts. As I thought about his question, I frowned in confusion. How did I get here exactly? Mother told me her stories about Wonderland, but never did she say that it slowed down time for her. I was only in that world for... one night.
"In Wonderland." I replied, making my tall friend laugh hysterically. Why doesn't he believe me? Surely he must remember me telling him about the land. I mean, I only told him two days ago... well for me, anyway.
"Nice try, Lexi, but ye' gonna 'ave to tell Dumbledore the truth. Ye' can tell me if ye' got snatched away by 'dos death eaters, ye' know." He told me, and that's when I stopped in my tracks. Death eaters... where have I heard that before? The only thing I can remember about those two words is when Tom mentioned it one time in the library...
"Death eaters... how does that sound?" Tom asked, breaking the silence between us. I peered up from my book and met with his dark, emotionless eyes. I frowned in confusion as I watched him think, whilst writing some words down on a small piece of paper.
"What on Earth are you talking about?" I asked, but Tom ignored me. Instead, he wrote faster on the piece of paper, like he was trying to make himself look busy. So I asked him again, "Tom, what do you mean by... death... whatever you said?"
"Death eaters." he immediately said after I had asked the question in a harsh tone, correcting me. I was taken back; he's never spoken to me like that before. Surprising, I know, but he hasn't. I've noticed that during the past few months he's become quieter, and is hardly ever in the Slytherin common room anymore. He hardly ever spends time with me now, and just slips away whenever he feels like it, not to be seen again u too class the next day when he pretend that everything is normal. He murmurs things under his breath, like he is now, then after pretends like he didn't say anything, when he knew that I heard him.
"What about them?" I asked, feeling slightly nervous as he wrote faster and harder on the piece of paper that he ends up tearing it. I placed my hand gently on his arm but he just swatted it away, making me feel incredibly hurt. But then again, he is unable to feel, isn't he?
"The name for my followers."
That's when I remembered. He wanted to call his 'followers' something... better, so he called them death eaters. But... why did Hagrid say I was taken by them? Surely they can't be that dangerous. I mean, it's only Abraxas Malfoy and a few others like... Lestrange... ok maybe they're a tad threatening at times but they'd be grandparents by now.
