"Yo Ginners, want some dinners?" Harry called out to his girlfriend. The feast will soon be over unless she moves her ass. She was sitting in the common room reading some book about magical fairies and unicorns.

"Wait lemme finish this chapter," Ginny said, not looking up from her book. Harry groaned. He thought having a girlfriend would be more fun and less annoying. She was really getting on Harry's nerves. "Hey Harry, help me up would ya?" She held out her hand for Harry to haul her up from the seat after she set her fairy book down. Like she couldn't stand up herself.

They walked out the common room just as Hermione and Ron came strolling in. Ron forced a frown after something Hermione said. None of them noticed Harry and Ginny. Ginny wasn't paying attention to them anyways, she was looking down at her nails, like they were the most beautiful thing in the world.

"So I was thinking, Harry, that we go to the library today and study, we both know we have a lot of work to catch up on," Ginny told Harry, still looking down at her nails, but this time like she noticed a chip or something.

Harry remembered that he couldn't, since today was a very special day. "I can't Ginny," Ginny looked up at Harry, confused, and sad looking. "I already promised to help Hermione with her cat, that thing is getting a full groom tonight," Harry lied. Tonight was his secret, he couldn't tell Ginny what was going on.

"Oh," Ginny looked down, sadly, but quickly recovered as they entered the great hall, and she stood on her tippy toes to peck Harry on the lips. "Good luck with grooming Hermione's cat," Ginny said, in a very sweet and forgiving tone. She grabbed his hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. Ginny could be annoying at times, but she was really an amazing kind girl, he was even jealous that she was Ron's sister, not his. But then he remembered she was his girlfriend… not his sister.

They took their seats next to Neville and Luna who were talking about some kinds of worms who were the size of a finger, but could open their mouth wider than your head, allowing them to swallow your head whole. "That's fascinating, Luna," Neville sighed, and excitedly looked at Harry as he sat beside him.

"Hi Neville, Luna," Harry greeted them.

The conversation about head eating worms continued as Harry poked around his food, not being able to eat properly because of the excitement.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. "Well, I'm done and I'm of to study- uh, I mean groom Hermione's cat, Crookshanks."

He got weird looks from Neville and Luna but Ginny shrugged it off. He ran out of the great hall without another word.

It was getting late so he went back to the common room first to get his invisibility cloak and the marauders map. He scurried under the cloak and zoomed out of the common room. He left the portrait door as he heard her mutter something like, "And where do you think you're going?" He wondered how she could see him when she realised he was talking to some other sneaky boy. Hm. Malfoy. Wonder what he was up to. But no time.

He quickly turned away to go to the seventh floor, where the room of requirement was waiting for him. He checked the marauders map to see Malfoy heading down towards the bottom floor. Eh.

He walked up the moving stairs and almost tripped because he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. He stopped to check for the last time if there was any professor or prefect that would be beside the room of requirement. No one.

The room of requirement opened at his demand. He then got to work. Whipping out his wand from his sleeve he recited the incantation that he would need. He concentrated very hard on his animagus form. He was frustrated when the first few times didn't work, because of the fouteen months that he had already spent preparing. But It wasn't working.

He decided to send his cloak and map back to the common room, so that if he turned into a wolf he wouldn't need to care for that.

He tried the spell the ninth time when it worked. The transformation was swift and quick, plus exhilarating. He looked all around with his new dog senses and it was way more intense. He suddenly felt the urge to go running, he was the most hyper he had ever been.

He looked at the mirror that was placed in the room of requirement. His fur was the same color and texture of his hair in human form, and his eyes were still green. After taking a look at himself in the mirror he turned and ran out of the room of requirement, down the stairs, and out of the hogwarts castle.

He ran the fastest he had ever ran, towards the forbidden forest, and felt like nothing could stop him, until he saw a gray wolf extract from the woods, blocking his path to go any further. Harry skidded to a stop to stare at the wolf.

He had gray eyes to match his gray fur, and he was slightly taller than the dog Harry. Harry had no idea who this was but the wolf poked Harry with his nose, and nodding towards the forest. The wolf's paws scraped the ground as he was preparing to run. Harry realised what was happening a little too late.

The wolf started racing into the forest, Harry only slightly catching up. They ran in the forest, their fur slightly brushing against each others as they were both running at the same speed. Harry attempted a laugh but found himself barking instead. The wolf howled. They came into an open space and the wolf playfully wrestled Harry on to the ground. Each one of them were trying the be the one on top. They both bit each other and clawed at each other, but both of them knew they were just playing.

Harry had never had so much fun in his life. They kept on going, and soon they were both very tired, it was very late, and both of them doubted they could neither wrestle anymore, nor walk all the way back to the castle. Both of them slumped down, Harry's head nestling on the wolf's stomach, and it wasn't long before Harry heard the wolf snore.

Harry wasn't really sure if this was an animagus, or if it was a monster from the woods. But he felt safe, safe right there, on the unknown wolf.
