After the strange meeting, Tama and her dad walked to Grinngots, got some money bought all her book then bought all her potion supplies. At the end of the day, she said good-bye to her dad then walked to her room carrying her parcels. She opened the door, set the parcels on the table then shut the door. Her trunk that they had bought was open on the floor so she unwrapped her books and put them into her trunk but she put her wand in her pocket.
After she ate a snack, she knocked on the door next-door and a rat faced, short boy answered it. He called for Sirius, James and Remus then let her in. The three boys stood the kitchen covered in streamers and they earned a laugh from Tama.
"Remind me never to teach you a spell like that again, James," Remus muttered.
"Peter started it!" The messy, black haired boy said. "Evonesca."
Tama pulled streamers from Sirius and Remus as James performed the cleaning spell on himself. They laughed as he performed the wrong spell and doubled the amount of streamers causing all the streamers on Remus and Sirius to disappear. Tama pulled out her wand.
"Evanesco," Tama said.
All the streamers disappeared in a flash but James frowned and stared cut-eye at Remus, who shrugged and chuckled. Tama put her wand back in her pocket and Peter scurried into the bedroom before James could realize he was there.
"So how many charms and curses do you know?" Tama asked.
"I know a fair few but the mistake I always make is to teach them to these guys," Remus replied.
"I know around forty each. Hey, I can show you a good one! What to see?" She asked.
James, Sirius and Remus nodded while Peter stuck his head around the door so Tama pulled out her wand again. She thought about the time when she found out about her powers then put her wand in front of her.
"Expecto Patronus!" She said loudly.
A wolf with fairy-like wings and a long, fluffy tail that lopped over itself erupted from her wand and stood in front of her and she reached down to pet it. The boys stood there with their mouths hanging open.
"Close your mouths, you're letting the flies in," She said sweetly as it disappeared. "That was a Patronum Charm and this is Silver Streak. I make him when I'm lonely."
"T..that is very advanced magic, you know, Tama. The seventh years aren't even learning it until after their exams!" Remus said in awe.
Tama shrugged.
"I never knew that. I thought anyone could do that," She replied.
The boys made good friends with her that night but the next morning, Peter made a plan with James and Sirius while Remus was reading his book on his bed. Sirius and James agreed to the idea and planned to do it that night. When they walked downstairs for breakfast, they saw Tama sipping hot chocolate and rolled their eyes.
"Oh, hi guys!"
They greeted her as they sat down to have breakfast. She conjured their breakfasts for them and started to eat her toast and sausage. Sirius and James started to chow down on their food like pigs. Peter snorted in disgust at them but Remus ignored everyone and hid behind his book.
"What yah reading?" Tama asked the golden-brown haired boy.
He tilted the book so that she could read the cover. Sprawled across the top in silver writing were the words: How to Tell the Differences Between a Wolf and a Werewolf.
"Cool. It was interesting but I read it one too many times," She muttered.
Remus's eyes stopped and his eyebrows raised but he said nothing. He paused for a moment then continued reading but his eyes weren't moving. Tama nodded thoughtfully to herself as her got up to buy her robes and wand. She jogged over to 'Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions'. As she walked into the store, a witch with green, curly hair jumped up to assist her.
"Robes for Hogwarts, dear?" She asked.
Tama nodded and she was ushered onto a stool and the witch measured her then magicked a piece of cloth into the air. With a wave of her wand, it became a robe then it appeared on her. She nodded and asked the witch if they could be dark purple instead of black. The witch nodded and swished her wand. The robes turned purple and two more appeared on the counter behind her. She whipped the robe off and paid for the robes, which had been pack into a bag, then turned to see three boys standing into the doorway.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked.
James smirked.
"Looking at a figure of beauty," He said.
Tama raised an eyebrow in his direction and frowned.
"Was that a perk?" She asked, and then turned to Sirius. "May I hit him?"
Sirius nodded evilly then grinned and Tama clobbered James with an up-handed whack to the head. James staggered and held his head in pain. Just then Peter came running up to them holding a bag, that was kind of bulky, but he just grinned in a mysterious way. Remus, of course, paid no attention to him and looked at a bookstore. Tama followed his gaze then nodded appreciatively at the bookstore.
"Hey, guys, I'm going to get a new book. I've finished all my other ones," She said.
"I'll come with you," Remus said quickly.
The two pranced over to the store and entered the place. Books upon books were stacks on the walls. Tama quickly found one that interested her. It was one about a girl named Jessica Mastinai who got struck by lightning and, later, received psychic powers to find missing children. She paid 3 sickles for it and went over to Remus who was deciding which book to buy.
"Oh, I have that one so you can always borrow it from me," She said, pointing at 'Animorphs'.
Remus pulled out his wand to get the book from the top shelf and Rae gasped.
