Chapter 12
Artemis P.O.V
Learning to ride a bike became one of my favourite things to do at Xaviers. Logan had taken it upon himself to be the one to teach me. I found it just as fun as flying. I had also applied for lessons to do my charms and potions mastery- yes, potions. I had found my mothers potion journal, and it had really helped me out. I found I had a flare for it. I was hoping that I could do my masteries, and then become a healer. I wanted to help people, but I didn't want to fight anymore. So, I was going to be a healer.
It didn't take me long to hear back from Emrys Academy, New York. They accepted my application, and was all set to start the last stages of my education. Now all I had to do was tell everyone what I was up to.
Logan already knew, and so did Hermione. Both of them had encouraged me to go for it. I told Sirius and Remus at the same time.
"A Mastery?" Sirius asked. "In potions? I thought you hated the subject."
"I found mums diary. It really helped. I found that I quite enjoy it. Besides, I need potions to be a healer."
"If it's what you want to do, then do it. Don't let anyone stop you." Remus said, smiling.
"Yeah, definitely, go for it! Sorry if I don't jump for joy, I just thought you hated the subject. Yet again, with Snivellus teaching, I can understand."
I shook my head at my Godfathers words.
"Where are you doing it, anyway?" Remus asked.
"Emrys Academy." I answered.
"I knew you were good! To get in there! Wow, that's quite an honour!" Sirius said, grinning. "Well done Artemis!"
"Thanks, Paddy." I said, smiling.
"Congratulations, Artemis. That's quite an achievement. Perhaps we should do something to celebrate." Remus said.
"Perhaps? Moony, there's no perhaps about it! We are definitely doing something to celebrate!" Sirius grinned.
I shook my head. "We don't have to." I said.
"Yes we do." Sirius insisted. "Emrys Academy is very elite. They only ever take those they think will be the best. We can go out to dinner. You can announce it there! I'll get us some reservations. There is this very nice place that I heard about in Salem. I am so glad that the Americans don't care about what the British MoM are saying about you." With that, he hurried off, no doubt to send off a letter.
"I really didn't want to make a spectacle." I said.
"He'll be a lot worse when it comes to your graduation. Trust me." Remus said, smiling. "Seriously though, well done. I'm proud of you. I know that your parents would be too."
"Thanks Moony, now, I'd better go. Logan said he had a surprise for me, and he's doing very well at hiding it from me."
"Go on then, go find him." Remus said, with a knowing smile. With that, I ran off.
No P.O.V
Remus watched as Artemis ran off to find Logan. Since the two had bonded, she had made excellent progress. She was smiling more and more, and they were genuine, not the, I'm-hurting-but-pretending-I'm-fine smiles that she had been using before. He and Sirius had a lot to thank the Feral for. If it hadn't been for Logan, then he feared that Artemis would have taken her own life. Logan had gotten her to open up, and she was well on her way to being the old Artemis once more.
Remus turned, and set off after Sirius, to make sure he didn't book for everyone at Xaviers. Artemis wouldn't appreciate that.
