The Space Princess (Neat Tricks)

The next day dawned bright and crisp, one of the last summer days before fall began. The four friends decided to take a picnic and play the now popular game of Guess Sillenna's Past. As the group walked down the hall, Sillenna heard the sounds of people walking down the hall behind them. Her automatic reaction was to glance over her shoulder and see who it was. Draco and his goons were snickering about some nasty joke or trick, oblivious to the four ahead of them. Sillenna smiled evilly and thought, "Might as well put some of my "gifts" to use." Ron was walking on the outside of group and right as Draco was about to pass them Sillenna connected her mind to his and mentally told him

Ron stick your left foot out. Without even thinking about it, Ron stuck his foot out and Draco went crashing to the ground. There was a moment of stunned silence before Hermione, Harry, and Sillenna started snickering. Ron stood there staring, trying to figure out what had just happened. Draco pulled himself up off the floor, his face red with anger, his fist clenched.

"You're dead Weasly," he hissed.

"Really, Draco, there's no way in world he could have done that on purpose, he couldn't have known that was you coming up beside him unless he was physic," Sillenna said still laughing. At the sound of Sillenna's voice, Ron stopped staring at Draco and turned to stare at her with a look of shocked realization.

"I don't care how he did it," Draco said approaching Ron menacingly. "I just know that he's going pay for it." Before he could do anything, Sillenna reached her hand out and stopped him.

"Now Draco you wouldn't want to do anything rash now would you?" she asked sweetly, indicating something over his shoulder. He glanced behind to see a teacher coming down the hall.

"You're both dead meat," Draco hissed as he turned and stalked off with his goons in trail behind. As soon as he was out of sight, Harry, Hermione, and Sillenna started laughing hysterically. Ron just stared at Sillenna.

"Mate, that was brilliant," Harry said. "But how did you know that it was him, you couldn't have seen him?"

"I didn't," Ron said quietly causing the others to stop laughing. "You..you…" Ron stammered, pointing to Sillenna. Sillenna gave him a kind smile and mentally began to speak with him.

It's one of many neat tricks that come with having lots of secrets

But…but…this is impossible

Well obviously not

"RON!" Harry yelled snapping Ron out of his stupor. "What's wrong with you?"

"We'll explain later," Sillenna said steering the group out of the way of coming traffic and toward the lake. Hermione and Harry looked at her questioningly but followed when they saw the people approaching them. When they got to the lake and were away from any listening ears, Harry grabbed Ron and Sillenna by their arms and turned them to face him.

"Ok, now explain," He commanded.

"It would be easier to show you," Sillenna said.

"Then show us," Hermione said impatiently

Sillenna took a deep breath and connected to her three friends.

Hey guys She thought tentatively. At first Harry and Hermione just sat there then they realized something.

"You didn't move your mouth!" Hermione exclaimed.

That's the point Sillenna thought to them.

No way, Harry thought. This is not possible

That's what I said mate, Ron thought, or more like thought, I guess.

Telepathy, it's one of many neat tricks I know.

Wait, one of many? Hermione arched her eyebrows. What else can you do? Sillenna motioned to the picnic basket they had sat down on the grass. Using her mind, Sillenna began to unpack the contents and arrange them on the blanket. When she was done, she looked up at her friend's very stunned faces.

"Well?" she asked the three stupefied teens.

"You have got to teach me how to do that," Ron said making the others laugh. "But first let's eat, all the excitement made me hungry."

"You're always hungry, Ron," Hermione said rolling her eyes.

Anyone who passed the four friends that day would have thought they had gone mad. They would be eating away and suddenly they would burst into fits of laughter for no apparent reason. Many wondered if they had accidentally put spell on themselves. The fact was that the three were talking telepathically, something Ron fell in love with because he could talk and eat at the same time. Weeks passed in bliss as the four friends grew closer and closer and the two couples became the school's "it" couples. Harry and Sillenna's special spot was one of the castle's towers that had huge windows in which they would sit for hours talking or just gazing into the night sky. It was in this tower that the couple had shared their first kiss. If they each lived a million years apart, they would never forget that kiss, could never forget that kiss. It had been so passionate and powerful that Sillenna had been afraid it would pull her disguise off and send her flying through space. Harry had thought he was going to explode from the inside out and go shooting off like a bottle rocket. Every kiss after that had similar effects on the two and they found themselves coveting every kiss, feeling that others were not worthy to see such a passionate embrace.

Over the past couple of weeks, Sillenna had managed to tell her friends the gist of her reasons for going into hiding. She had made up a "bed time story" that covered the basics of her story. Of course there was no story in the world that could even begin to explain WHAT she was. The only thing she had managed to tell them was that she was not what they thought she was. She would just have to wait until she was released from the Binding and hope for the best.

This is the part of the story where all the nice readers leave a review! PLEASE!
