Chapter 10: The Next Day was Saturday/I speak for the Trees

The next day was Saturday.

Normally, Scorpius, Kilee and Albus would either be relaxing or running away from Rose. That Saturday though, Kilee had dragged them to the library to get as many books on animagi as they could. Then she forced them to go to the Hospital Wing, distributed the books between them, James and herself and forced them to read and take notes on it. Albus was shocked to find that such a tiny, cowardly girl could be so effective in forcing poor innocent boys to waste away their Saturday.

"This is going to be more difficult than I thought," said Kilee after three hours of searching.

"I say we take a break," Scorpius said hopefully.

Kilee hit him across the head with a book, "No! You were the ones who wanted to do this so bad. So you are going to help me!" Kilee snapped.

"Look, Kilee," said Albus, "We've been at this for hours. I think that a break is a good idea."

Kilee snorted, "Al, five minutes ago, the three of you took a 10 minute bathroom break. Then, six minutes before that you took a two hour lunch break and, about a half an hour before that, you locked me in the closet for 47 minutes! Now get to work!"

"Fine," said Scorpius defeatedly.

An hour later, however, they still hadn't found anything in the books that would give them even a small hint on how to become animagi.

"Okay…" Kilee finally sighed, "Maybe a break would be a good idea…"

"If you insist," said Scorpius, closing the book he had been reading.

"Excellent!" James said enthusiastically, "Now we can move onto more pressing matters…"

Albus gave his brother a wary look. This couldn't be good…

"How are we going to get me out of the Hospital Wing? I think I'm slowly losing my mind in here," James finished with a grin.

"What mind?" asked Albus.

Scorpius and Kilee snickered as James chucked a piece of parchment at Albus' head.

Albus tried to retaliate by throwing another piece at James, but missed and hit Scorpius. He threw a piece at Albus, missed, and hit Kilee. Soon there was a full-blown parchment war taking place.

However, it soon got out of control and the next thing anyone knew, the four friends (even the injured James) were running around the school chucking parchment at each other.

Kilee was winning, partly because she had better aim, but mostly because she managed to teach Bai, Killer and Fluffy to steal paper from Albus, Scorpius and James. Just as Kilee was about to claim victory, one Albus Severus Potter mad the worst throw of his life.

Just as Professor Vector walked into the hall the last battle was taking place in, Albus threw. It hit him right in the eye.

"OW!" he howled.

"Crap," said Albus.

That was how the four friends came to spend two months in detention, cleaning out and alphabetizing the library. When Scorpius complained that all they'd done was hit him in the eye, Vector went on to explain the huge mess they left around the school and add on another month.

And that was how they found the book.

It was Kilee who found it. They were pulling all the books off of a shelf in the Potions section of the library. (the very same shelf they had climbed.) There, jammed in the very back, was an old leather bound journal that said in bold letters 'Property of the one and only Sirius Black. KEEP OUT!'

Which meant, of course, that James opened it.

Every page was filled top to bottom with writing, cross-outs and drawings. The first half of the book contained, to Kilee, Albus, Scorpius and James's excitement, step by step instructions on how to become Animagi.

"Yes!" Kilee exclaimed, "Let's read it!"

James turned it to the first page which read: Break into ole Sluggy's office and get that moonbeam stone. And steal Evans' mirror."

Kilee blinked.

Albus blinked.

James blinked.

"What?" Scorpius asked, bewildered.

"That's what it says," said James.

"Maybe it's some kind of code?" Kilee suggested.

"Right… so, uh… what could it mean?" Albus asked hopefully.

They spent the next hour searching the journal for the key to break the code but came up empty.

"Now what?" asked Albus.

"Maybe only this Sirius guy can read it?" Kilee said with a shrug

"Okay, say he can," Said Scorpius, "How are we supposed to read it?"

"We have to find him!" said James.

"Wait…" Albus said, suddenly feeling really stupid, "James, we're really dumb., What's your middle name?"

"Sirius. After Dad's… oh. Oops…" James blushed.

"Wait," said Kilee, "Your dad's who?"

"Godfather. Sirius Black. This guy. He's where we got the idea from. And he's kinda dead," Albus explained with a shrug.

"That's a problem," said Kilee.

"Yeah. But I know that moonstone thingy is a potions ingredient and I think they just needed a mirror. So, well, I guess we can start with that," Scorpius said doubtfully.

"Okay," said James, "Let's go find a moon stone."
