Chapter 6 – A Magic Mirror

Vi sat at the window looking out, almost as if she was a lost puppy at a shop window. Her dad had gone to pick Sirius up, she had been able to persuade her parents to let Sirius visit. Petunia had gone to see a friend and Lily had gone to see Severus. So, she and Sirius had the house to themselves, aside from her parents. Vi had claimed the dining for the day, her parents were going to be in the living room, she had baked a few things ready for his visit.

"He's here!" Vi smiled as her dad's car drove into the drive way. Sirius got out and waved at Vi, who waved back.

"Thanks for inviting me." Sirius said as he got inside.

"I couldn't leave you at home all holiday." Vi smiled. "I have claimed the dining room for today. I made a lot of treats for your visit too!"

"You really didn't have to do that." Sirius told her.

"I know, but I did." Vi grinned.

"Hello Mrs. Evans." Sirius noticed Vi's mom watching them with a smile.

"Hello, Sirius dear." Mrs. Evans smiled.

"Come on!" Vi showed him to the dining room.

"Wow, you made all of these?" Sirius looked at the table of treats.

"I had a bit of help from my mom and dad. But, surprisingly, it turns out I am not a bad cook." Vi nodded. They sat at the table. "so, how have your holiday's been so far?"

"Not that bad. James and I have come up with a way to talk without needing to send letters." Sirius told her.

"You got a phone?" Vi asked.

"That's the muggle device that you can speak to other people with, right?" Sirius frowned

"Yep, you don't have phones?" Vi was surprised.

"We can't, muggle devices malfunction around too much magic." Sirius explained. "Anyway, we found a way and I wanted to give you this." Sirius pulled and object from his pocket.

"A mirror?" Vi asked

"A two-way mirror, well, three way. This mirror will allow you to contact either me or James. Just say the name of the person you wish to talk to, and you will be able to see and talk to them." Sirius smiled.

"That is amazing. Magic is so useful." Vi said

"Well, this one is yours." Sirius passed it to her.

"Thanks, so, have you tried it yet?" Vi looked at him.

"Yeah, watch this." Sirius looked at the Mirror. "James Potter." The Mirror didn't change, the next thing Vi knew she was three other boys'.

"Incredible! Vi muttered.

"Hi James." Sirius grinned, the boys jumped and looked at the mirror.

"Hi James, Remus, Peter." Vi smiled.

"Wow, you really got out of that place to visit little Evans." James smirked. "Lily hasn't killed you yet?"

"My sister is out with Severus." Vi frowned at his name.

"Has he been bothering you little Evans?" James asked.

"You did look rather angry when you said his name." Sirius added.

"On the way back from the train station after Hogwarts ended, my dad was giving Severus a lift home. I was asking Lily about Godric Gryffindor, but I never got a chance to finish the question. As soon as I mentioned Sirius' name, he began saying Sirius is nothing but a trouble maker, and was going to end up on the wrong side of the law when he leaves school." Vi stopped. "I know you guys pick on him and all, and I don't agree with it of course, but… I don't like people forcing their own opinions of people upon me in hope I will share their opinion. Does that make any sense?"

"Yes, and it a reasonable reason to dislike someone, other than James, who just hates him." Remus smiled.

"How are you so different from you sister?" James asked amazed, Vi giggled.

"I'm not." She replied.

"You're not." James, Sirius and Peter looked at her surprised. Remus just shook his head.

"You are just receiving different emotions from us. You pick on Severus; thus, Lily doesn't like you. But, you guys seem pretty cool to me." Vi told them.

"Once again, she makes sense. I think like her, it would be nice to have a friend that actually makes sense when they talk." Remus said.

"Hahahaha, very funny Remus. So, you don't hate us?" James asked

"Not in the slightest." Vi fell silent, there was voices coming from the living room. "Uh oh, my sister is back."

"Oh, dear. We'll let you go. Good luck Sirius." James said, the Mirror returned to normal.

"This is going to be awkward…" Sirius said, helping himself to a cookie.

"Yeah, but Lily gets to see Severus, so I should get to see you." Vi smiled. "You should send some of this stuff to James and the others.

"That would be a cool idea, but these cookies are mine, and I am not going to share them." Sirius said, Vi grinned.

"I want to open a bakery now." Vi said

"Huh?" Sirius looked at her.

"It' my new dream. To open a bakery. My dad had a dream like it, but never achieved it." Vi explained. "So, I want too. To bake all sorts of treats and make people happy. It would be nice to make stuff that will make people happy."

"That is quite a dream. I hope you get to live it, I will be a regular customer." Sirius smiled

"Thanks." Vi took a cupcake.

"Hey Vi…" Lily and Severus entered the dining room. "what's he doing here?"

"Vi asked him around, isn't that sweet?" Mrs Evans said

"Mom, he…" Lily began.

"Lily, I don't argue when Severus comes around!" Vi told her

"But Severus…" Lily started

"He tried 'warning me about him! As if I didn't know!" Vi said, clenching her fists.

"okay, Vi, just calm down." Lily said

"What I said is true though! He is probably only friends with you to have more chances to get at me."

"Of course, I can't make friends because they just want to use me to get at you. The whole world revolves around. How come I never saw that before! It's nice to know you have such high opinions of me Severus!" Vi growled, Sirius grabbed her arm when it looked like she was going to dive at Snape. Mr Evans walked in. He placed a hand on Vi's head.

"Vi, calm down. Okay?" He said calmly. Vi took a deep, shaky breath.

"I guess we are even now Lily. I hate your friend and you hate mine." Vi sat down, Sirius quietly passed her a cookie. She accepted it and began nibbling on it.

"Lily, maybe it would be wiser to keep Severus and Vi apart." Mr Evans said.

"Right. Come on Severus." Lily and Severus went into a different room.

"I am sorry I caused you this much trouble. It's no secret I don't like Severus, I never really expected him to take our friendship out on you though…" Sirius apologised.

"You said and did nothing wrong!" Vi told him and smiled. "Besides, who are my friends is my business, I don't care what others think! I do care when they think I am friends with someone who is my friend for another reason."

"Vi is right. Thank you, for not kicking up a fuss, unlike you, young lady." Mr Evans looked at Vi.

"Ladies don't start fights, but we can finish them." Vi smiled proudly.

"This is from the Aristocats, isn't it?" Mr Evans smiled.

"The Aristocats?" Sirius asked

"It's a film, made by Disney. Haven't you seen it?" Vi frowned

"Many muggle inventions don't work around wizarding households; the magic sends them crazy." Sirius told her.

"Dad!" Vi look at her dad. He nodded.

"I'll go and put it on." He nodded

"You are going to love this, it is so cute!" Vi took Sirius' hand and pulled him into the living room.

"Hey, Vi." Sirius whispered part way through the movie.

"Yeah?" She looked at him.

"Next time, you should come to James', his parents are really awesome." Sirius smiled.

"That…Dad…2 Vi looked back at her parents.

"We'll have to meet his parents first." Mrs Evans smiled. "But, I see no issues with it."

"Yay." Vi and Sirius looked back at the Film "I'm glad we are friends."

"Me too." Sirius agreed.
