'Lils, what are you looking for?' James asked for the thousandth time. Lily had spent the past hour picking up books, flicking through and putting them back on the shelve. It was getting late, and Filch would be checking the library soon.
'We need to go,' he whispered as a light emerged from behind one of the shelves. Lily finally looked up. She tucked the book under her arm and allowed herself to be covered by the cloak.
'Who's there?' It wasn't Filch; it was Peeves.
'Show yourself! I'll go to Filch; he won't like to know students are out of bed! Already got himself angry, he as. Got covered in slime because someone dropped a bucket on his head, they did. Come on kidywinkle, you'll only be hung from the dungeon ceiling!'
Peeves started singing one his ridiculous songs and zoomed out of the library.
'Evens, tell me right now, what the hell is that book about?'
Lily opened the book and showed him a page from it.
UNDOING MYSTICAL SPELLS AND ENCHANTMENTS'Why is this in the restricted section?' James wondered aloud.
'Oh,' he muttered, reading what Lily was pointing to. 'That's why'
Further on in the book were pages containing well-not very nice pictures, and had sections on Killing, Blinding and Cursing. At first glance it didn't seem to bad, but when you got to the different ways of killing people, and the curses…lets just say James had never before known you could make someone grow two heads out of an eye.
'To undo spells and enchantments of the mystical and deadly kind, you will need blah blah-Lily-this is just nonsense. I mean, do you really need to know how to reverse the two heads out of an eye curse? You could simply look up the undoing of nature's works in reversing spells books. It's not that hard, I mean, you could pick up a reversal spell from Madam Promfey's store cupboard…'
A glazed look came over Lily's face. How could she have been so stupid? She took the book back and replaced it on the shelve. Then she moved down the isles and stopped at one she had once borrowed a book from. Of course, she had looked through the book she needed many times, just never realized. In fact, she had used it once for an essay on reversal spells in third year. At that point in time she hadn't seen why it was in the restricted section, but it didn't matter, because it could help her. She really was stupid…
She pulled out a thick book from the shelve and sat down to read. James stood impatiently behind her, tapping his foot.
Lily flicked through the book and stopped at a page about halfway through.
Reversing a spell concerning the nature of lifeThe natures of life include;
Nature itself
Body parts
Houses
Buildings
Ears, nose, eyes, mouth
Lily made a whooping motion with her arm and showed the page to James.
'Lily, if you can pull of that spell, I'll never swear in my life again,'
Lily held out her hand and James shook it. Now all she had to do was wait for the next full moon, boil a potion for two weeks and some how get the tail hair of an animal gifted with the power of speech. Oh that was why it was in the restricted section.
Sorry you had to wait so long, and Sorry it's really short, juts I'm ill and tired…BTW-YES I CHANGED MY NAME!
