Daughter of Padfoot

Chapter XV

March was a very good month. I learned that the talks between Vic, Shea, and the Vice President had been successful, Maxis came, back and I got to meet someone new.

"Come on, she's down in Hogsmead." Said Maxis. She was excited about something and was dragging Harry and I down to the little village.

"Who is it?" Asked Harry after being violently jerked by Maxis.

"You'll see, she doesn't know we're coming though."

We walked down the slope into Hogsmead quickly, when we got to the edge of the village Maxis told us to stay. She transformed into a dog and ran ahead. She was gone for about two minutes before she came running back.

"Ok she's there come on."

She led us down the street, and into Zonkos Joke Shop.

"Callisto!" she said slyly to a woman's back. The woman jumped and turned quickly, wand raised.

"James?" she whispered looking at Harry. "Maxis? Less? No wait Aphi and Harry." She grinned. "Where'd you two come from?"

"Maxis bought us." Said Harry. "You're Sirius's sister right?"

She nodded. "It's so good to see you two again. Sirius should have bought you sooner, and how've you been Maxis?"

"Fine. I'm teaching."

Callisto laughed "that's a good one, what are you really doing?"

"Teaching, well that and stuff for the league, but I do teach."

"What are you teaching them, how to blow up toilets?" Callisto was still laughing.

"No," Maxis grinned "though that would be fun, maybe I'll suggest that at the next staff meeting. No I'm actualy teaching Illusions."

"You were good at those. Where's that brother of mine? I haven't seen him."

"Some top secret mission."

"Top secret?" said Harry and I together "he told us."

Maxis rolled her eyes. "Well there you have it. But anyway, Callisto will you come up to the castle with us?"

"Sure I'm done here. I was just checking some of this stores stock. Let me grab a cloak."

Callisto decided to stay at the castle until dad and Remus got back. They got back about a week later.

I was out riding with Fleur. She was on her horse and I was on one we'd found in the stables. We were riding around the edge of the school grounds when we saw two tired looking men walking up to the school. Fleur said we should go try and help them. It turned out it was dad and Remus. Dad looked about ready to faint, but Remus caught him as he fell. The words he said before he closed his eyes were the best I'd ever heard.

"We got the traitor." Then he'd closed his eyes.
