Chapter Eleven: Illusions
Life did go on for James and Remus. Sirius's parents were now their legal guardians, but they were still quite melancholy. Tricks were less frequent all through the month of March and into early April. Then Sirius convinced them to blow up the Slytherin cauldrons in the dungeons, and every thing was back to normal.
One day in late April Maxis decided to try a new subject. She'd been getting bored with material she was learning, and as always wanted a challenge.
"Illusions," she announced to us one day while we were sitting out side on the grounds "I'm trying illusions."
"Isn't that kind of hard?" asked Less
"So they say, but I've been doing some research. I can do it. They can be very useful for pranks."
"Well then, get started." Said Sirius.
"I can all ready do some things." She said "watch. 'Illusionus speratus' "
All of the sudden there were three of her.
"Which one am I?" she asked giggling.
We looked around.
"How would we know?" I asked
"Just guess. Hurry. I'm not great yet, and I can't hold it for very long."
Saraan looked at them closely. "The one by the lake. The others are wavering a bit. But otherwise they're very good."
With a 'whoosh' two of the Maxis' were gone and the real one stood.
"Cool." Said Remus "what else can you do?"
"I haven't really tried, but I can see."
So for the next half hour we sat out side testing Maxis to see what she could do. By the end of the time she had been able to copy herself 20 times, but could only hold it for about 10 seconds. Professor Mum had come by on her way to the green houses and applauded her work.
"You're really good." Said James when Maxis was done.
"It's really cool." Exclaimed Maxis "I'm glad I decided to try it."
We made our way back up to the castle and spotted Snape's best friend, Lucuis Malfoy. Sirius grinned at Maxis and I knew what he was thinking. The opportunity was too much to resist. So we ran be hind a thick tree and waited for him to pass. When he did Maxis jumped out.
"Hi." She said cheerfully.
Malfoy looked her up and down, "yes?" he sneered
"'Illusionus speratus'" she muttered.
She made it so that there were five of her. Malfoy's eyes widened. The illusions started walking around him. He looked very scared.
The figures started laughing.
"Which one is me?" chorused five voices.
Malfoy reached his hand out to one, and it disappeared into smoke.
"Oops!" whispered the four that were left.
"Ah, ha!" said Malfoy triumphantly. He went around touching each figure until they were all gone.
"Where'd she go?" whispered Peter.
"They're illusions Peter, remember. She could be this tree for all we know."
Malfoy now backed away and ran back up to the castle.
"Maxis?" said Less "where are you?"
The grass shimmered and Maxis crawled up.
"Camouflage." She said.
"Good one." Said James. "Lets go back up to the school."
Maxis kept working for about three weeks on this and soon became very good. Though there was probably a better use she could have put it to. She got caught about 3 three times but talked herself out of it by saying something about advancing the learning process. Needless to say James, Sirius, and Remus were very impressed.
Chapter Twelve: The End Of The School Year
Soon came June and we got our sheets asking us what two other subjects we wanted to take in our third years. Less, Saraan and I all wanted to be in the same classes with the boys but we couldn't decide between us what we would take. The boys wanted to take Care Of Magical Creatures, and also Flying Lessons. Us girls preferred Divination and Arithmancy. In the end Maxis made the decision for us.
"You'll take Care Of Magical Creatures, and Divination. It's a nice compromise." She firmly told us "I'm tired of hearing you yell at each other."
"Fine." Said Sirius "but Divination seems a bit…"
"Not another word." Said Maxis. "Now lets change the subject."
"So what do you want to be when you grow up?" asked James out of the blue. I think he meant it as a joke but it didn't look like any of us were taking it that way. We all sat in the grass in silence.
"I really don't know." said Less
"Um, I wasn't really serious." Said James
"Yeah but it's a good thing to plan." Said Peter joining in.
"Well I'm going to be an auror." Said Sirius.
"I want to run a store of some sort." Said Callisto who was also with us.
"I don't really know. I guess it'll come to Me." said Remus.
"I guess I'm going to be an auror." James answered his own question. What about you Lily?"
"I don't really know. Maxis?"
"Hunter."
"What!" exclaimed Less. "You, a hunter?"
"No, no, not that kind. I want to be a poacher hunter. You know they catch poachers and put them into Azkaban or where ever."
"We have time you know we're only 12." Said Peter
"15 this summer." Said Callisto indignantly.
"Ok, 15. But we still have time" said Remus.
"I wish we never had to grow up." said Sirius
"Ces't la vi." I murmured, and looked up at the blue June sky.
(A/N- this is the end of her second year. I'm not writing a summer story for this year because it drains so much out of my system, and I have to concentrate on my Sirius's daughter story too. I made a big mistake and was writing two stories at once, something that's not good for me. I'm also skipping her third year because I really don't know what happened there. I'm going to write her fourth year though because there is a lot of stuff that I have jotted down to happen in that year.
If you liked this then I recommend my Sirius's Daughter story because it kind of goes along with this. I'll probably be putting up her fourth year in little parts instead of big humongous chunks that take like 2hrs to read. Sorry about that. Well anyway I'm signing of now. Hope to read you're reviews soon (hint hint!).
