James... eerrr Prongs breathed in the cool air under the full moon as Padfoot barked while rolling down a grassy hill near the Shrieking Shack. Padfoot stood up wagging his tail beckoning the Warewolf to join him. Meanwhile Wormtail chattered happily atop Prong's antlers. Suddenly the three Animagi and warewolf stopped in their tracks at the sound of someone talking.
"C'mon, man. I know there's gotta be people around here somewhere - Get back to the road you great blubbering -" A snarky gruff voice said.
"I aaam Groooot?" Another male voice asked before wind moved through some branches. The Animagi cautiously made their way to the road leading to Hogsmeade to investigate.
"Yeah yeah, you always want to look around -" Prongs leaped in front of the Warewolf as the sound of the two voices grew closer. But surprisingly, the Warewolf seemed curious and not ready to attack. The four magical creatures exchanged glances before walking to the side road and standing in the middle where the voices drew closer. "Seriously, man gimme a lift. I promise I won't accidently yank a leaf. It was an accident, Ok?" Taking a chance, the Animagi walked into the middle of the road and froze in their tracks.
Prongs stared at the sight before him and his friends. A raccoon wirh a large metal cylander slung across its shoulder was walking down the road accompanied by - a tree? The Animagi exchanged "bloody hell' looks before staring at the raccoon and tree who were staring down the animagi.
"I am Groot." The tree announced looking at the four animals warily.
"I'll handle this." The racoon said not noticing the increased panting and tail wagging from the shaggy dog. Prongs and the Warewolf shook their head half in warning but more in resignation as Padfoot bounded toward the talking racoon. "AAAAAAAAGH!" Padfoot soon had his snarky stuffed animal in his jaws (gently of course), and was giving it a nice bath with his tongue.
Rocket had experienced a lot of things in his life: death defying shootouts, escaping deadly planets, and the power of the infinity stone. However, nothing prepared him for being bowled over by a giant black dog who was enthusiastically barking and slobbering on his face. "Whoa - hey -" Sluuuurp! Rocket groaned as the dog licked his fur with his tonge. "No! No! Not behind the ears -"
Padfoot loved his new talking fluffy chew toy. Ignoring the exasperated grunts by the Warewolf and Prong's sighs, he licked the fluffy talking racoon across the face before a branch lifted him off the ground.
"I. Am. Groot." Padfoot whimpered as he stared into the tree - Groot's face. He yipped for help as the tree wrapped a branch around his hind legs and dangled him in the air. He knew the other animagi and the Warewolf would let him have it for his antics - at least for a little bit.
"Ok, Ok, Put him down." Rocket said as Groot flung the howling dog around. "I think he learned."
As soon as Padfoot's feet touched the ground and he felt the braches loosen from his middle, he ran behind the other animagi. Prongs gave a snort, Wormtail was shamelessly chittering, and the warewolf was grinning. Padfoot growled. Never mention this to anyone.
