Pain ripped through my body as a new form tried to replace my human one. In the book it had never said it was this painful. A curious ringing filled my ears making them hurt nearly as much as the rest of my body.

"You're doing it, Siri!" A voice said excitedly.

"It huuuuuuurts," I whimpered but his friend was far too excited to take any notice of that.

"What does it feel like, Siri?" He asked crouching down besides me.

My clothes were ripping down my back as my spine arched and grew, thick, black hair was sprouting all over me, my nose was growing and growing and yet my dear friend was asking me how it felt?

"Owwwwwwwwww," I moaned, hoping he would get the picture. No such luck.

"Wow? Wow as in its good? It must be sooooo cool to just change shape!" Prongs yelled far too loud for my hearing which had suddenly gone really sensitive.

"If you mean cool a-a-as in p-p-painful," I panted, I felt as if I had run a million miles. I felt like I had that time my dad had crucio-ed me and then… suddenly… it stopped.

The pain was gone, the ringing in my ears, the feeling of my body fighting, it was all gone. It was over.

"Sweet merlin," James breathed.

"What am I? What am I?" I asked excitedly.

"You're a…. you're a…."

"Am I lion?" I asked excitedly and then when I thought of the black hair I added "or a black panther?"

Prongs shook his head.

"Am I a stag like your patronus?" I pressed. Geez, why couldn't he just tell me already?

"Well?" I demanded impatiently.

"You're a… You're a dog,"
