The Evil Spawn

𝚅𝙸𝙸

       Alexis was clearly not happy during the entire dinner. Her own stitch work was burning and needed ointment, and the laughter and talking were getting to her, making her more irritable. She had finished her food a while ago and was just waiting for a perfect time to slip away.

"Nearly time for bed, I think," said Mrs. Weasley with a yawn, almost like she read Alexis's mind right then and there.

"Not just yet, Molly," Sirius said, just as Alexis gripped the sides of her chair to get up, making her groan in protest and sit down with her arm on the table and her head leaning on the palm of her hand. From beside her, Fred Weasley chuckled slightly and leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"Are we too boring for you, Miss Alexis?"

Alexis turned over to look at him in his eyes. She raised an eyebrow and leaned close to his face; they were now inches away from each other's faces. "You may be hot Weasley. But I'd choose sleep over you any day."

She smirked and leaned back in her chair. Leaving a shocked Weasley staring at her in awe. George saw this interaction and whispered to his twin. "I think drool is coming out of your mouth. Like just a little bit." George reached his hand out to wipe off the drool when Fred slapped his hand away.

George laughed and raised his brows slightly. The twins looked back at Sirius, who pushed his plate away and turned to look at Harry.

"You know, I'm surprised at you. I thought the first thing you'd do when you got here would be to start asking questions about Voldemort."

The atmosphere changed as soon as Voldemort's name was spoken. The once joyful and relaxed room was now full of tension and everyone was on alert.

"I did!" Harry burst. "I asked Ron and Hermione, but they said we're not allowed in the Order, so—"

"And they're quite right," said Mrs. Weasley. "You're too young." Mrs. Weasley was now on high alert and any sign of drowsiness was gone from her face.

"But what about Alexis?" said Harry, the Twins, and Ginny all at once. Alexis looked taken aback at the fact that they decided to drag her into this argument when she just wanted to leave.

"Alexis is different!" Mrs. Weasley said nervously raising her voice slightly.

"How? She's only sixteen!" Fred said pointing at the girl next to him, who was now sitting with a raised brow. "No offense," he added quickly once he saw her facial expression.

"None was taken," she said with slight amusement in her voice.

"Alexis is different, trust us," Lupin said calmly, looking between Alexis and the rest of the kids.

"Harry's been trapped in that Muggle house for a month. He's got the right to know what's happen—" Sirius said before he was interrupted.

"Hang on!" George yelled out.

"How come Harry gets his questions answered?" Fred continued angrily.

"We've been trying to get stuff out of you for a month and you haven't told us a single stinking thing!" George yelled.

"You're too young, you're not in the Order," said Fred, in a high-pitched voice that was supposed to sound like his mother. "Harry's not even of age! Neither is Alexis!"

"Wait, so it's illegal for me to get with you, right?" Alexis whispered to herself. Apparently, Fred and George had heard, as Fred rolled his tongue against the side of his cheek to stop from smiling and George looked at Alexis and shrugged.

"They don't need to know," whispered George.

Alexis and Fred simultaneously turned to George in shock.

"It's not my fault you haven't been told what the Order's doing," Sirius said calmly. "That's your parents' decision. Harry, on the other hand—"

"It's not down to you to decide what's good for Harry!" said Mrs. Weasley sharply. "You haven't forgotten what Dumbledore said, I suppose?"

"Which bit?" said Sirius, readying himself for a fight if necessary.

"The bit about not telling Harry more than he needs to know," said Mrs. Weasley

Everyone was looking back and forth between Molly and Sirius, while Ginny was kneeling on the floor surrounded by butterbeer corks watching the argument with her mouth slightly open, and Lupin fixing his eyes only on Sirius.

Although Alexis was having fun joking around with the twins; her wound was getting more painful with every passing moment. She was now rubbing her temples with her eyes closed.

"I don't intend to tell him more than he needs to know, Molly," Sirius said, emphasizing the same words as Molly. "But as he was the one who saw Voldemort come back, he has more right than most to—"

"He's not a member of the Order of the Phoenix!" said Mrs. Weasley. "He's only fifteen and—"

"Mrs. Weasley!" Alexis said loudly making all the heads snap towards her. "I know you feel like you have this duty to protect Harry just because you care for him like a son," she said in a cold voice, Mrs. Weasley opened her mouth to reply when Alexis continued, "but he is not your son and you are not his guardian, Sirius is," Alexis said emphasizing certain words.

Everyone went silent. Alexis knew they feared her, even though she had made the unbreakable curse. Although Alexis would never admit it out loud, fear always made people listen to her and she liked it.

Maybe it was the cold voice she acquired from her father or the lack of feelings that she kept locked away, but one thing for sure was that at that moment almost every adult in the room could see how much she truly resembled her father.

Molly was in the spur of the moment and couldn't stop herself when the next few words escaped her mouth. "Well that's easy for you to say, you never had love, considering your father is—"

"Molly!" yelled Sirius and a couple of other people in the room at once. The teenager's faces turned to a face of confusion, trying to figure out what Mrs. Weasley was going to say and why she was so harsh.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Weasley's face went red from regret and embarrassment.

Alexis on the other hand had a bored expression but her eyes were full of anger. What she didn't notice was that her hand was on the dagger that was strapped on her thigh, which was very well hidden except for when it was halfway pulled out like it was now.

"Alexis..." Mad-Eye growled, notifying Alexis that he had saw the dagger she was pulling out slowly.

"You listen to me, and you listen well," Alexis said in an emotionless voice like always, while she put her dagger back in its place making sure no one saw before rising from her chair and placing her palms on the table. "You don't ever associate me with him like that ever again." Mrs. Weasley was opening her mouth to most likely apologize when Alexis raised her hand and looked straight into Mrs. Weasley's eyes making her blink a couple of times in fear. "I won't stand here and tolerate it. So if you would kindly shut up and let Sirius explain to his godchild what he has been missing out on, that would be nice."

Alexis kicked back her chair and turned towards the door. She took one step and stopped. "Hope you don't hate me for going off on your mother. I hate people who belittle me." She squeezed his arm gently and walked out of the kitchen. 

Fred turned to look out the kitchen door with a small sympathetic smile. 

"You're so whipped mate," George said, turning to look out the door just like Fred. 

Fred sighed. "Shut up, George."
