James' POV
After a few weeks at Hogwarts, me and Sirius had gotten so many detentions, that the Professors knew to not put us in the same one. Unfortunately for them, we had Remus on our side, who said that we could talk to each other if we used two way mirrors. Luckily, my mum is very good at charms, so one day I wrote her a letter explaining.
Dear mum and dad,
How are things at home? Hogwarts is great, but me and Sirius get loads of detentions, but you already know about that from the owls that Professor McGonnagol has sent you. Anyway, they always put us in separate detentions and we want to communicate, and we would do this ourselves, but it's a N.E.W.T level charm. Could you cast the Protean Charm on the mirrors, please? It would mean a lot.
From your favourite son, James.
P.S. If you don't mind could you also send some cookies?
A few days later, at breakfast I got an owl back.
Dear James,
Yes, I know that you have a knack for trouble making, and I charmed the mirrors, just try not to get into too much trouble. It's good at home, but dad spends a lot of time at the Ministry. I don't want to scare you, but the Minister is scared that there might be a Dark wizard rising, what with all the disappearances. Anyway, are you staying at Hogwarts for Christmas, or are you coming home?
With lots of love, mum.
P.S. That was the only pair of mirrors I'll charm, so don't get them confiscated, because you'll have to learn to do the spell to use them if you loose them. Also, dad told me to send you his cloak, he forgot to give it to you before school started.
I looked at the package that came with the letter. Inside, were the mirrors, a silvery cloak and a box of Blinky's homemade cookies, much to Peter's delight.
"Wow, your mum makes delicious cookies, James." Peter mumbled, through mouthfuls of cookies.
"It was Blinky." I answered, fascinated with the cloak.
"Blinky?" Peter questioned.
"My house-elf." I replied.
"Oh"
"Remus, what do you think about this cloak?" I asked.
"I think it's an-"
"OMG! It's an Invisibility Cloak!!!" Screamed Sirius, as soon as he caught sight of the cloak. People turned to stare.
"Sirius! Shut up!" I shouted at him.
"Okay, okay."
Right after breakfast, I rushed up to the Common Room and tried on the Cloak. Peter gasped when I disappeared.
"Wow!" He stared in awe.
"Woah! Where's James gone?" Asked Sirius, who didn't see me putting the Cloak on.
I poked him with an invisible finger.
"Ow! James! Take the Cloak off, I want to try it on." He whined.
"Alright." I took my time slipping it off, so when I did, the bell rang and I pretended to be sorry.
"Whoops, well it got stuck. You can try it on later." I shouted before I ran off to Defence Against the Dark Arts.
"Hello class, today, we will be learning to Disarm each other. Grab a partner and practice. The incantation is 'Expelliarmus'."
I ran over to Sirius and we practiced together. Us two, Remus and Lily were top of the class.
