Chapter 9- Charming? Yea right.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Charms Class
"Right," Professor Flitwick said to the class as he climbed up to the top of his normal stack of books. "Please settle down. Class has begun." Just then, James, Sirius, and a flush looking Remus bolted through the door, and immediately came to a screeching halt. "Sorry we're late Professor. We couldn't find our-" Sirius trailed off as he noticed three sets of books being levitated in the air. "Well, then, it seems as if we just found the books we were looking for. Sorry for the disturbance." Remus said, he too noticing the books. "Quite all right boys, now if you'd please take your seats, and not start trouble for today, we'd be fine."
The boys made it over to the section that the girls had situated themselves in, and sat down. "You could have left our books you know." James hissed as he sat down next to his girlfriend. Lily smirked and replied, "And what, miss out on the fun?" James opened his mouth to reply, but Lily put her finger against his lips to quiet him.
James looked down at the finger, and then smiled. He opened his mouth just a fraction of an inch, so that he could take her finger into his mouth, but before he could do so, he heard a word that made his blood run cold "- animagus."
James shot a quick glance towards Sirius and Peter, and quickly glanced back at the Professor. That was when he noticed that Lily had gone stock- still. He narrowed his eyes at her. 'What the hell. Hmmm.I wonder.' James thought. "Lils." James hissed. She snapped out of her trance, and titled her head in an angle that made it look like she was watching the Professor, but her eyes were on James. "What's he talking about?" James whispered to her. Lily turned her attention back to the Professor, and whispered back, "The spell that determines what animagus you are."
'Oh, SHIT!' James thought. You see, with this spell you can be able to find out what animal you would be if you were to attempt to become an animagus, but if you had already became one, it shows you when you transform, step by step. Meaning, that the entire class would be able to see you in your human form, then your animal form. 'This is so bad.' seven people thought as Professor Flitwick continued.
"The incantation for this spell is 'revealio transformustia'. And the wrist movement is the same twirl and swish that you use in the emotion charm that we did at the end of last year. Right then, go ahead, partner up and practice." Flitwick finished in his squeaky voice.
James turned to Sirius to form a group, whilst Lily turned to Kayla. "What are we going to do?" Lily hissed at the same time Kayla groaned this out. Lily exhaled and sighed. "We fail?" Lily suggested in a whisper. Kayla shook her head. "I can't afford to do so in this class, you know that." Aria leaned over from her spot with Tiffany, and whispered in a frightened voice, "Any ideas?" Lily and Kayla looked at her and shook their heads in defeat. Boy were they in for it now.
"We are going to be thrown into prison. I'll never see me mum again!" Peter cried. "I don't wanna go to prison. I'm too young to have my soul taken away." He continued. "Peter! Shut up! There has too be a way around this spell! There's a way around almost ALL spells." James said agitatedly. Sirius sighed and noticed that the Professor was looking over at them, watching their moves. "We have to at least try. The Professor is looking at us, and might come over if we don't do something. I mean we don't-" just then he got cut off by a cry of- "I got it!" from Lily.
James, Remus, Sirius, - Peter was too busy complaining that his life was over and he was going to spend the rest of his days in jail- Kayla, and Aria all looked at Lily with questioning gazes. Lily, unaware that the boys were listening to her every word intently, whispered loudly enough so that it would reach Aria, but also in doing so she ensured that James could hear her. "Are we mages or not? (A/N: I'm sorry for the cliché, but I couldn't think of anything else!) I mean, all we have to do is summon a vision of an animal and we have it!" Lily exclaimed in a hushed but excited voice.
James's mouth dropped open. 'They're animagus! And they're mages too? Jesus things just get creepier and creepier.' James mused and then quickly turned back to his friends to tell them about his "idea". (Oh, did I forget to mention that James and his friends were mages also?)
"Wait, what's the spell?" Sirius asked as they readied to do the spell.
'Ooops.' James thought. 'Didn't think about that one.'
James looked at his friends with a sheepish smile, and turned towards Lily and her friends to see if he could somehow learn what the incantation was. He couldn't. They were all whispering under their breath, and moments later, a white jaguar with Lily's emerald eyes appeared over Lily's head, and James's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Next, a white Tiger with gray eyes appeared over Kayla's head. Sirius happened to see this, and his jaw skimmed the floor.
And lastly, a white fox with sky blue eyes formed over Aria's head. Remus's eyes narrowed.
'I've seen that creature before!' ran through the boys' minds.
The guys shook themselves out of their stunned states when they heard Professor Flitwick give his praises to the girls.
James steeled himself and tapped Lily on the shoulder. This was going to require a lot of explaining later. But, none of the Marauders could afford to lose ANY points in this class. To put it nicely, they all sucked big in this subject.
Lily looked at James and raised an eyebrow in question at him. "That spell. What was it?" he asked her. Lily's brow furrowed in confusion. For some reason, to her it sounded as if he had a different enchantment in mind. "It's," she started with a confused look still on her face. "'revealio transformustia'." James shook his head and said, "The one you used." Lily's face contorted in shock. James chuckled lightly. "I'll explain later. The spell please." Lily blinked at him in astonishment. 'How in all hell did he know that that was a different spell!' "Alright," Lily exclaimed, somewhat reluctantly. "It's 'projectium transfomrus animigusliam' and make sure you pronounce it exactly like that or it works exactly like the revealing charm." She said. James nodded and turned back to the others and replayed the message.
"Lils!" Sirius whined. "Help me!"
Lily giggled at the childish voice, stood up and walked in between Sirius and James. She looked at Remus and Peter and asked, "Are you guys in need of this too?" Peter nodded, and Remus looked thoughtful. "Remus, you don't. You don't transform on will. Peter, I want you to stress the 'ium on projectium, the o and u in transfomrus and the slia on animigusliam. Got it?" he nodded his head. "Try it." He did, and a misty figure of a rat- a very fat rat- appeared. Lily raised her right eyebrow in speculation. 'Hmmm.' She thought, then turned back to Sirius and James while the Professor awarded Gryffindor five points for Peter's success.
"Okay," Lily said. "You two would be different, considering what you two are. Yes, I do know. Now, as I was saying. All you do is twirl your wand as soon as you start the first syllable for projectium-pronounce it naturally- all of it- and then swish down after you finish s sound in transfomrus. Got it?" they both nodded, and tried it. Within seconds, two thinking bubble type of things appeared above their heads. One held a dog that resembled the Grim to every detail, the other pictured at white stag. "Congratulations Mr. Potter and Mr. Black, excellent work! Twenty points to Gryffindor for your efforts." Professor Flitwick exclaimed in glee. This had to be the largest amount of people who had ever been able to do this spell with out so much practice.
Suddenly, Remus gasped. Apparently he had also said the spell - the teachers way- because above his head was a replica of a monkey.
His friends - James, Sirius, Kayla, Lily, and Aria laughed. You'd think that a monkey would be the form most suiting for Sirius, not Remus.
Remus scowled. He did NOT ever want to become a monkey. Ever. Even if he was able to, he never wanted to be a monkey. Too much energy if you asked him.
"I'll trade you." Sirius said, also scowling. He had always wondered what it was like to be a monkey. And if you asked him, they had the perfect life imaginable. All you had to do all day is sit in a tree - or swing in a tree, it's your choice, and eat bananas. Now that is the life.
Remus just scowled more, over looking the fact that he had just gotten ten points for his house.
"Don't worry Remus." Kayla said, a smirk coming into her voice. "Yea, don't worry Remmie," James said, his voice mocking. "You'd be a boring monkey. You'd just sit there doing nothing. And those things are so icky!" James finished off with a female voice. Lily bopped him upside the head. "If you're going to do a females shriek, do it right." She demanded.
James looked at her, his face etched with innocence. Lily, a sucker for this face, bent down and chastely kissed him on the lips. "oooooh." Chimed through the group of friends, with a cry of, "I'm the godfather," from Sirius, and "I'm calling godmother," from Kayla. James and Lily looked at each other, and shook their heads. "You know," James said. "You'd think that by now they'd have grown up."
Lily cocked her head to the side, and stated, "Nah. Life'd be to boring if they grew up any time soon."
A round of insulted "HEY!" s went around.
"Yea, I guess you're right." James said, a grin on his face.
"You guess I'm right?" Lily said, astonished. "James, honey, I'm always right."
Kayla laughed. "Hunter, sorry to tell you, but no. You're not always right."
Lily mustered up an insulted expression, and came back with, "Name on time I was wrong!"
There was a course of, "Well."
"There was that one time that you said that a phoenix can only live for two days before you have to get a new one," Aria said with a smirk on her face.
"A mishap of information." Lily replied tartly.
"There was also the time that you said that all ghosts were mean." Tiffany piped up.
Lily scowled. "I didn't say that. Kayla did after Peeves attacked her."
"Oh." Was the reply that she got.
"Or the time that you said that you'd never date anyone with the last name Potter, and the first name James." Kayla smirked.
Lily turned red, and tried to think of a come back.
James had perked up at that last comment. "Oh, and when was this. Correct me if I'm wrong, Lily dear, but it seems as if we happen to be dating now, doesn't it?" James said to get a rouse out of her.
Lily bit the inside of her bottom lip and looked at him innocently. "Ooops." She said in a coy voice.
The group of friends looked at her weirdly, and all opened their mouths to ask what sort of answer that was, but the bell had rung and the Professor had dismissed the class, calling out that homework for tonight was to practice the charms if you had not already perfected it in class.
"Have you ever wondered why they call Charms a class?" Sirius pondered as they began to walk to their next class together. "I mean, charm is something that you turn on when you want something. Do you think that this class wants something?" Kayla looked at Sirius with a pitying look, while the rest tried to figure out what the hell he was talking about. All they got out of that was headaches, and they found out that you should never try to figure out something that Sirius says. It always leaves you with a migraine the size of Massachusetts.
"Sirius," James asked as they began to walk down to the dungeons of Hogwarts. "How do you know anything about charm?"
Sirius looked at him as if he was crazy. "I am the most charming man in this school, or did you forget that?" he asked, acting as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You, CHARMING? Yea, right." Five people chorused.
"I think that he's very charming." Came the small voice of Tiffany.
"Yea, after all, he does get a lot of girls." Came Peter's voice.
"See," Sirius gloated. "They think that I'm charming."
Lily and Kayla gave him a look that plainly said - to those who knew them- 'and since when have you listened to them?'
Sirius sighed and resignedly asked, "I'm not charming?"
Lily sighed, untangled her hand from James's, walked over to Sirius - who was standing on the opposite side of James, and threw her arm around his shoulders. "You can be when you wanna be. But you must not be the most charming man in school, or else you'd have already gotten my deprived Pouncy here. If you know what I mean. No offense what-so-ever to your ultra ego." She said for reassurance to Sirius.
Sirius in turn grinned, and replied with, "One of these days I'm going to date her, and then I'll be the most charming man in the UNIVERSE." With that , Sirius practically floated down the rest of the way to potions, momentarily leaving his friends standing in the hallway stunned.
"That is not what I meant." Lily muttered.
"Hunt. I swear to any god that is listening," Kayla started in a dangerous voice. "If that baboon starts making more passes at me, you better sleep with one eye open, cuz I'm going to kill you."
Lily looked at James, and squeaked out, "Help." In mock fear.
"Don't worry my dear lovely Pouncy." Lily shot back, making Kayla narrow her eyes at the nickname. "I know that you'd rather spend your time trying to kill Sirius, so I won't sweat it."
"Lils," Kayla said in a sweet voice.
"Hmm?"
"Run, and run fast, cuz I'm going to injure you severely."
