Chapter Six

He stepped into the room and was greeted by a peppy hello from Professor Greggors. "Well hello, Peter! How wonderful of you to grace us with your presence!" The boy blushed and took his seat next to Remus who grinned at him.

On his other side, he heard Gwen whisper, "Are we still going to do it?"

And Hallie replied, "Of course we are, you nitwit! Tonight, we'll do it tonight." She then pulled on a girl's ponytail from the desk in front of her. "Andrea?"

The blonde turned in her seat to face the girl behind her with a scowl. "Must you always tug on my hair?"

Gwen grinned at Hallie who said, "Never mind that, we're going to do it tonight." At this, Andrea's scowl intensified.

"We were supposed to do it yesterday but someone was screaming their head off in an insane rage." Hallie just shrugged and smiled.


"Just be ready."

"Today, dear class of mine," said Professor Greggors as he beamed around at them, "we will be exploring amulets."

At this, Andrea clapped and turned to Sarah Wilson, a sweet Hufflepuff girl. "One of my favorite things! I love jewelry!" Sarah laughed and rolled her eyes heavenward.

"I'm glad you are, Miss Pristine, but all things aren't what the seem to be." The professor held up a beautiful necklace with a pendant the shape of a young girl dangling at its tip. The figure was small and made of gold while the dress was studded with sapphires. In the place of the head, there was a diamond. "Can anyone tell me what this amulet's use is?" James raised his hand, along with a few others. The professor called on him. "Yes, Mr. Potter?"

"It's used as an object's second form or to imprison something or someone," he replied steadily. Professor Greggors looked at him searchingly and the boy shrugged. "My mum has one." And then the teacher nodded.

"Very well said, Mr. Potter. Five points to Gryffindor." He strolled through the isles between the desks looking at each student in turn.

"There is a legend, about a young girl named Rowe. She was very clever and very intelligent with long wavy jet-black hair and sapphire blue eyes. Then one day, she met a boy. He was handsome with silver blonde colored hair and glistening hazel eyes. They became involved and Rowe proclaimed she would never love someone else, but she promised that in vain for several years later, she met another man, with untidy hair and pale blue eyes. They fell in love and Rowe left the silver blonde for the untidy haired man.

"The silver haired man, to us known as Serpise fell into a deep rage of Rowe's betrayal and was blinded from all else. Angry as he was, like all other mortals, he did an unfortunately foolish thing. He cast the Curse of Imprisonment upon our dear Rowe. This curse is one most difficult to cast, it's properties are dreadful. And thus so, after the curse was bestowed upon Rowe, she was imprisoned into an amulet known as the Alloy Child."

The professor then swished his wand making an extraordinary boom shake the room and make the students jump up in surprise with yells and screams. After the gold and silver smoke disappeared, his face was grave as the students laughed nervously. "No, no, 'tis not something to laugh at, dear students. Everyone believed her dead, for no one lives through the Curse of Imprisonment, only their spirits thrive in life. Yet…it is trapped, held captive, in an amulet, never to be set free."

The students left the unnerving class of Charms pondering about the amulet of the Alloy Child. "Is Rowe really in Professor Greggors' amulet?" asked Lydia with wide eyes. Remus grinned.

"Nah, there probably wasn't even a girl named Rowe," he replied in consolation to her fear.

"Really?" she questioned.

He shrugged but a voice behind them said, "Oh yes, there was a Rowe, and she is in that amulet." The pair turned around to face Gwen who had a mysterious gleam in her eyes.

"Bugger off. That's just a tale to scare you little ninnies!" said Sirius from beside her with a smirk. James came up between them.

"Nope, I've heard that legend before…I'm not sure but I've seen the pendant on that amulet before." Sirius looked at him.

"There's a bug hanging about here, I need to set off some dung bombs, goodbye my good people," and then after this said, he strolled briskly away.

James glared after him with annoyance portrayed upon his handsome face. A vase nearby exploded making him look at it in shock as well as the rest of the group. He muttered a "cheap piece of junk" and then looked at Remus who was waving a hand in front of his face.

"What?"

"Still on the down side?" the boy repeated. James gave him a look, which made him put his hands up in defense. "It was just a question!" Lydia and Gwen laughed.

Sirius walked into the common room and dropped on all fours to search under the couch for his dung bombs but they weren't there. "You're looking for your dung bombs?" asked a voice. He looked up and saw Lily and Hallie looking at him with restrained grins.

"Er – yeah. You didn't, perchance, happen to know where they are, do you?" Lily shook her head but Hallie just smirked.

"Maybe." Lily elbowed her. "Ouch! Why do you and Gwen keep doing that?" she wanted to know. The other girl shrugged.

Sirius grinned. "Ah, the duo is back together again. Then all is forgiven?" At this Hallie threw a pillow at him.

"No, you aren't forgiven, Black," she retorted. He swatted the pillow away easily and threw one back.

"I didn't even read what was in it!" he admitted. The girl rolled her eyes.

"Of course you didn't, you nitwit! You don't know how to open the lock!"

He replied with a simple, "oh." And then he asked, "Er – where'd you put my dung bombs?" The two girls shrugged, then left the room laughing and speaking in hushed whispers about something about to happen that night.

Shrugging, he dropped the idea of setting dung bombs out in the dungeons went to his next class.

The rest of the after noon was mostly uneventful except that strangely, a load of dung bombs exploded in the dungeons. After the afternoon classes, James, along with Peter, Remus, and Sirius (who was still refusing to speak with him by the way) went out to the quidditch field where the Gryffindor quidditch tryouts would soon be taking place. When there, he saw Arthur Weasley, a fifth year chaser, Leo Garnet, the seventh year team captain who was positioned as a beater, and a third year goalie named Frank Longbottom, all lined up waiting for them. There were others as well, trying out for the first time.

"You all trying out?" asked Leo looking them over as if sizing them up.

"Er – no," said Remus. He smiled apologetically at James and Sirius.

"You coward!" exclaimed Sirius frowning at him in mock anger. The other boy just grinned and then he and Peter went to the stands.

Then, behind him, there were chattering voices. James turned around to see Lily, Gwen, Lydia, and Hallie advancing onto the field. "Hey all!" Leo looked at the girls.

"You're trying out for this team?" he questioned with sarcasm in his voice.

Gwen glared but Lily replied with a calm, "Yes."


But Gwen said, "No." Leo smirked. She looked at him, Arthur, and Frank. "Actually, make that a yes for me. I think I'll give it a shot. I just noticed there aren't any girls on this team. "

"There's a reason for that," replied Leo. Frank looked at him with his eyebrows raised and Arthur elbowed the team captain in the ribs.

Hallie said, "Two words for you, Mr. Know-It-All. Girl Power." The beater laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Just get on your brooms and follow me. Are all of you trying out?" Lydia shook her head.

"I'm not."

Hallie shook her head too and Lily exclaimed, "What? You said you were!" The girl shrugged.

"Sorry, buddy, but I'm afraid of heights." And then she and Lydia walked to the stands where Peter and Remus waved them over.

A week later, the team roster was up.

Keeper: Arthur Weasley

Seeker: Frank Longbottom

Beater: Leonardo Garnet

Beater: Sirius Black

Chaser: Lily Evans

Chaser: James Potter

Chaser: Molly Stevens

There was a party in the Gryffindor common room and Remus, Peter, James, and Sirius (though the two notorious best friends still weren't speaking) provided food taken from the kitchens.

Lily, Gwen, and Lydia watched as Andrea advanced on Sirius. "Hi, Sirius. We didn't get to finish what we were talking about last night," she told him with an alluring smile. He grinned and looked towards his friends.

He said, "Er – right. You know, you're right, I am a rather good-looking fellow." She laughed and looked towards the three girls watching in amusement and rolled her eyes. They fell over each other trying to stifle their laughter. Hallie looked around the wall holding her wand with a smile upon her face.

"I was thinking along the same lines. You're – you're adorable." Sirius looked at her in shock. "Of course, I may not have told you this before…"

"Yeah, you always called me a repulsive dog." Andrea smiled at him.

"I may have, but it was just to cover up my little crush on you." He looked at her for a moment, and then leaned away from her on his seat on the armchair.

"Crush?" He laughed making Andrea's smile falter. "You have a crush on me?"

"Be serious about this," she told him. He rolled his eyes.

"I wouldn't dream of being anyone else after being him all my life." She looked at him curiously. "Who else would I be other than Sirius?" She punched his shoulder and glared at him.

"You're right, I never did like you. You've always been an annoying git. Asking me out all last year and then starting it over this year. Ugh!" She turned and marched away making Gwen jump up.

"Andrea! That's not part of it!" Sirius looked at her, as did everyone else in the room.

"Part of what?" He stood and was about to walk towards her when there was a big explosion from under the armchair. The filibuster fireworks made it repel upwards and hit the ceiling wit a sickening crunch and then it fell back onto the floor inches away from a shocked Sirius. But the display wasn't over yet. The fireworks were charmed to not be harmful and kept ricocheting off the walls and avoiding to hit the students. The colors were brilliant and flashing white, reds, blues, greens and other tones of the rainbow.

Finally, the display died down and then left nothing but stubs of once full fireworks. Sirius looked at them and then at the armchair and then back again until he looked up and faced the four girls who were over themselves with laughter.

"Oh! So that's where my fireworks went…"
