Chapter 6 explaining the wand
Bella brought a couple of movies on DVD she had brought with her from Arizona.
We had made the down stairs bedroom into our movie room.
It had the biggest bed and had the most pillows so we piled on top of it.
We were half way through the second movie with me in between Bella and Jake when it got to the part where something scary was going to happen and it was entertaining because I figured what was going to happen considering it was a vampire movie.
And sure enough a few moments later the pale evil guy attacked the young girl 's neck and red fluid flowed out of her neck.
"Gross…" Jacob groaned as he looked away from the TV.
I knew what to expect from Jacob simply because he was a wolf but Bella's shocked me most.
Bella Swan laughed at a vampire sucking blood from a girl's neck.
Edward was going to love that if he ever managed to see it. I would have to make her watch it with him at some point.
"I'm going to make more pop corn…" Jacob said as he looked away from the TV and got up.
Bella was in hysterics one because of the fakeness of the movie and Jacobs reaction.
Once she heard Jacob start the microwave she sobered up very quickly.
"Go make sure he's alright. I don't think he likes vampire movies." Bella said as she rolled off the bed and stumbled to the adjoined bathroom.
I rolled my eyes at her when I heard her "ouch." And went to find Jacob.
He was leaning back on my kitchen counter with his eyes shut.
"I can stand anything but vampires." He said shivering at the thought.
"Wimp."
"Wimp?" he asked opening his eyes. Those gorgeous eyes that I could get lost in. "I'll show you wimp." He said with an evil glint in his eye.
"Bella's in the other room." I warned figuring he was going to shift into his wolf form.
"Spoiled sport."
"Hey Harry!" I heard Bella calling.
"What?" I called back rolling my eyes at both of them.
"What's this?" she asked walking into the room with my wand.
"OOhhh… this should be fun…" was all Jacob could say as his popcorn went off and he sat at the table.
Sighing I took it from her and placed it in my back pocket where I normally kept it but seeing as how I was in the muggle world now I normally kept it either under my mattress or in the bed stand.
I looked to Jacob who shrugged and nodded at me.
This was the one thing I didn't want to have to explain to Bella –anything else I was fine with but this, no.
"It looks like a wand or something." She said with a smile as she stole a handful of the popcorn from Jacob.
"It is." Thankful that she had said the word wand and not me.
"It's a wand?" she asked skeptical.
"Yeah. You know like magic."
"Okay I think that is enough supernatural movies for you Harry." She said laughing thinking I was joking or lying.
I took my wand out of my back pocket and flicked it, casting the same spell Hermione did before she made them attack Ron.
Suddenly there were about six or seven small birds flying in a circle around her.
"Okay what did you put in that popcorn Jake?" she asked as she watched the birds.
"Nothing. That would be Harry conjuring birds trying to show he is serious and still avoid scaring you." Jacob said popping a piece of popcorn in his mouth.
"Really… do something else then. I still think I'm hallucinating." Bella said as she hopped up on the counter to watch me.
Racking my brain for something that was not to be used in defense of offense in war I came up with my first lesson in charms.
"Wingardium Leviosa." I said pointing at Jacob's bag of popcorn while he wasn't looking.
Bella squealed in delight as the bag left Jacob's reach.
Jacob grabbed my wand to get the bag back not even bothering trying to catch it before doing so.
"Do something to me." She said grinning again.
Once again I was struck with trying to find a spell that was fun or harmless.
With a very wicked smirk I remembered something. I flicked my wand and silently sent for the package of Weasley products that the twins had given me before I left.
It was full of all kinds of goodies.
"This is the twins creations. Pick one. Just one." I said as I handed her the bag.
I watched as her big brown eyes filled with wonder as she began to sift through the box.
"There's so much stuff in here… and it's all so tiny." She said as she picked up a small ball.
"Just be careful I'm not sure what most of the things do." I said honestly as she placed the ball back into the box with possible but not unnecessary caution.
"That went well… almost too well." Jacob said with a grin.
"Don't jinx it sheesh." I whispered as I watched Bella.
It took her about half an hour to choose what she wanted before she handed the box to Jacob who grinned a very wicked smile that sent shivers up my spine.
Bella handed me the small pink fuzzy object and I pointed my wand at it and let it grow to its regular size.
It looked like a simple pink squishy fuzzy ball {think feathery keesh ball}. But I knew better.
I grabbed the phone off of the kitchen counter and dialed the number for the twins' store.
It rang about three times before I got a cheerful "Weasley's wizarding Wheezes. This is Fred Weasley how may I be of assistance to your pranking needs?"
"Hey Fred. It's Harry. What in the name of Merlin's saggy left nut is this pink fuzzy thing?" I asked as I eyed it warily.
"Oh that little thing? It's completely harmless."
"Uhuh sure… remember your canary crèmes that were completely harmless? I know better Fred Weasley…"
"No really it was Ginny's idea…" as if that made it any better.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better? Bat-bogey hex remember?"
"True. But it's just a creature detector. The activation spell is on the bottom. Pink is neutral. Red is vampire. Orange is centaur. Yellow is bugs. Green is any sea or amphibious creature. Blue is wizard or witch. Purple is muggle. Black is an Animagus. Brown is wolf or werewolf. White is house pets like cats, or dogs. Silver is reptile. And gold is a ghost, ghouls, or poltergeists." He said as I grabbed a scrap of paper to write it down.
"Okay got it… what are you doing up so early any way?" I asked now that I got what I needed.
"Hogsmeade day." He said simply as I heard a bell go off in the back ground.
"Alright well I'll let you get back to your store. Would you mind owling me a list of what you gave me so I don't have to bug you constantly or find out the hard way?" I asked.
"Sure it'll be there later today here… what time is it there?"
"Like eleven…" I said glancing at the clock on the wall.
"Ew. Ok. I'll send it before I go to close the store."
"Thanks Fred. Tell everyone I said hi."
"No problem and sure thing."
"Bye."
"Bye."
I flipped the fuzzy thing over to read the incantation; it was a simple one, thankfully one that I didn't have to say out loud. it was not something that I could say out loud and not get odd looks. Spotted dixus
I realized right away when it was activated. It turned black and blue which made Bella jump and Jacob snigger.
"There you go it's activated." I said handing the squishy fuzzy thing to her. Smiling when it turned purple.
"What in the world…" she said with her eyes big in wonder as she sat it on the table and I watched as it turned black, blue, purple, and brown.
This made Jacob scowl at it.
"What do the colors mean?" Bella asked as she looked at the paper I wrote them down on.
"Animagus? What is that?" Bella asked me.
"Means a wizard who can turn into an animal of some sort. Mine is a dog." I said with a smile.
"Can I see?" she asked hopefully
"I don't see why not." I said with a smile. I nonverbally cast the spell over myself and I felt the transformation began.
It had been a while since I had done this and I missed the feeling. It was relaxing.
I knew once I was in my Animagus form because I could hear Jacob's thoughts clear as day.
Bella's mind however was as silent as could be. I guessed it was because she was a muggle.
I didn't like intruding on thoughts but one from Jacob stood out from the swirl of thoughts in his head.
"My god he is beautiful."
The thought made me smile and feel the beast in my chest swell and sigh contently.
When I shifted back Jacob's eyes were locked on the box of stuff.
"What's this?" he said holding up something in an attempt to make his feelings unknown.
"Be careful with that!" I said quickly.
"What is it?"
"A dungbomb. Kind of like a stink bomb but worse. I do not want one of those going off in my house."
"Can I have it?" he asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"If you leave it on the table until you leave. The smell will linger for days."
"Swe-eet!" he said making it two syllables. "Pay back to Embory…" he muttered with revenge clearly ringing in his voice.
About that time Bella's cell rang.
