~Chapter Seventeen: In Search of Polaris~
"You guys, it's 10:00 pm. Maybe we should go search for Polaris now," Lily suggested. We were still in the library, waiting for the right time to look for the star Polaris.
"Yep. But we better get the Keeys. We may not be coming back here," Loly sensibly replied. Earler we had gone to Future Dumbledore's office and had asked for weapons, now we had 24 clear, plastic balls of powder – they were called Keeys. Twelve of them were grey and twelve of them were pink. The pink ones were for traveling, you just sprinkled a bit on your eyes lids and you were there. The problem was that you had to be coming back to where you wanted to be – you had to see a picture in your mind to get there. And the grey Keeys were for fighting and protection. You sprinkled some on your eye lids an hour before you were ready to attack and the power would be there until you won the battle.
"Let's go!" Sirius proclaimed, shoving the Keeys in his backpack ::Dumbledore had also given us backpacks to carry everything in:: and we walked out into the night.
Once we were outside I was chosen to seach for Polaris, my being the best in Astronomy and all. I scanned the sky until I came across the big dipper and looked straight from it's handle to where Polaris was.
"Over there, by the wall," I said pointing to a wall covered with ivy near the side of the school. And although it was up hill from us, we made it there quite quickly.
"You guys, we have to seach for – no we have to find a hole in the wall. We have to!" Sirius declared.
And so we started to search, and search and search but we came upon nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing that could hide Cassie. And so the search went on, along that stoney, old, cracked wall covered in ivy.
"Look at that! I found something! Look, look, look!" Candy shouted, pointing to a odd place in the wall.
"What? It doen't look that much different! It's green, just like the ivy," Peter said.
"Excuse me, but aren't I the Questioner? I know what I'm doing! I am supposed to question if things aren't what they seem and I know that this patch isn't the same! Look, I can put my hand through. See?" Candy said waving her hand into the place she was talking about in the wall.
"I guess your right. But we'll never fit though there – it's way, way too small," Tod stated.
"Well, we aren't witches and wizards for nothing! Use the spell 'pettimus omnes' on us, and our stuff, Lily. You're pretty good at charms. Then use the spell 'pettio omne' on yourself." Candy said.
"Okay. All of you get into a line and I'll do the spell," Lily proclaimed. And we all stood in a line near the wall when Lily said 'pettimus omnes'. Then the world got larger and there was a great whooshing sound. Then I noticed that Lily was towering over us.
"It worked! YAY!!!!!" Peter screamed.
"Shut up, Peter. Lil has ta shrink too," James said.
Just then, Lily said 'pettio omne' and she was just as tall as us.
"Grab the stuff and let's go!" Val shouted. And we started the climb up the wall to the hole in the air.
"Ugh! This is really, really hard," Loly stated.
"Well, duh! Let's just keep on going, though," Candy retaliated.
"Hmmm… I wonder if my snow leopoard thing could help…" I wondered. "Oh, well what the heck – Snow Leopoard!" And then in a blinding flash I was on all fours jumping up the wall through the crevesses. It was wonderful to be able to jump and run like that and in no time at all I was where the hole in the air was.
As I looked through I gasped. It was the most beautiful place I'd ever seen! It's sky was a beautiful blue with white fluffy clouds. And since the sun was setting there were red and pink streaks across the sky. The grass was the greenest I'd ever seen. And the animals and plants were strikingly lovely in colors I'd never seen before. And as I looked closer, I saw humans that were our size. They were no special colors but they had the same striking beauty as everything else.
Better change back so I can tell eveyone it's safe, I thought to myself.
"You'd better come up. It's really pretty," I shouted to my friends who were only about six feet below me. Once they climbed up I saw them all gasp and stare wide eyed at the beautiful landscape, just as I had done.
"This place looks really safe," Lily stated.
"Well, don't be fooled, it's probably the most dangerous place in the world – no, make that two worlds!" Candy proclaimed. She said that because that was exacticaly what it was – another world! It had to be. There was no way around it. Everyone just had a feeling that it was a different world. It couldn't have been ours, it didn't feel the same.
"We'd better get going! Who knows what may happen next, and if it's something bad I don't want to be caught unawares," Loly stated.
And so we walked into the beautiful new world.
~Chapter Eighteen: Quinn and Squrrel Talk~
"Hello, uh, Madame, um… uh… well, we're kinda lost, ya see and we need directions. Do you happen to know a place called the Green?" Remus asked the first person he saw. It was a girl, and she was just a little bit older than us, maybe seventeen. She had long brown hair and dark, velvety purple eyes.
"Well, first of all, I'm not a Madame, that would be my mother, Madame Grandebas. I'm called Quinn Grandebas. And second, no, I'm sorry but I don't know a place called the Green," Quinn said.
"You're Madame Grandebas' daughter? We met her yester – I mean, um, fifteen years ago." Val said.
She looked at us skeptically, "How, may I ask, did you meet fifteen years ago if you are only fifteen?"
"Um…" Peter stupidly said.
"Well, our, uh, er, parents brought us there. Yes, that's what happened." Loly said trying to save the day.
"Sure," Quinn agreed sarcasticaly. "But really, who are you and why are you here? My mother and I are the only ones from your world that know about Serenity ::that world::. My father is a Serenitartian. You see, he came to you're world for some reason and he met my mother. How do you know about it?" She asked.
"Well, Quinn, we are on a quest. And we, uh, stumbled upon it." James said.
"Y-your not t-the Tricky T-trio and c-co., are you?" Quinn asked excitedly.
"Yes," Peter replied stupidly.
"M-mum said you'd pass through any day now. I-I never expected you so soon, though. OMG!!!!!!!!!!! You're all famous! Even the Sereniartrians know who you are! Oh, yeah, what was it that you wanted to ask me?" Quinn asked in a tone that was much different from the one she had used before. This one was nice, kind, and friendly while the other was cold and hateful.
"Well, we were wondering if you know a place that's called the Green." Loly asked.
"Hmmm… Nope. I can't say that I know a place called the Green, but I do, however, know a person called Mrs. Green. She's a widow that lives on the other side of Slice, that's the name of our town in the world of Serenity." Quinn told us kindly.
"Thank you, Quinn. Could you show us the way to her house, please?" Candy asked.
"No, I'm sorry. My mother needs me to pick up somethings for her. But use Valarie's powers, and you'll find her." Quinn mysteriously said. And then she was gone.
"Okay, Val, ask the first animal that you see how we get to Mrs. Green's," Remus told her.
"Fine!" Val said.
"Here comes a squirrel, Val, do your thing," Loly said to her.
"Okay, okay!" Val said, turning to a squirrel. "Chirp, cheep, cheeper, chirp! Thank you! Here's what he said: take a right on Lyra Street and a left on Will Street. Let's go!" Val told us.
And so we set off to find Mrs. Green.
