"Chapter 1: A New Mother." Remus read.

"Where am I? Harry wondered as he woke up groggy. He had been shoved into his cupboard after the fat man had discovered his tie had been turned orange."

Remus dropped the book in shock.

"Remus." Sirius said so darkly that even the twins scooted away from their fellow prankster. "Read that again."

"He had been shoved into his cupboard after the fat man had discovered his tie had been turned orange."

"Sirius." Remus warned upon seeing a twinkle in his friends eyes. "It won't do Harry any good to have you thrown back in Azkaban."

"Moony. Full Moon." Sirius suggested.

"Or me." Remus added.

"Fine." Sirius pouted. "Boys, get a list started. People To Prank On Harry's Behalf."

"Yes sir Mr. Padfoot." Fred and George saluted the Marauder.

Everyone else shown signs of outrage.

"Soon after, he fell asleep so suddenly while crying. The two year old human opened his eyes. Why did everything seem so big?"

"Big?" Ron asked in confusion.

"As in larger than himself." Ginny teased him as Ron scowled.

"He stretched his wings. Wait a minute? Wings? He opened his eyes, suddenly alert. He lifted two small blue feathered wings."

"An Animagus at TWO?" Remus asked in shock.

"Extraordinary." Arthur Weasley said in awe. He knew Harry was an Animagus because he'd seen him on the Anamagi Registry. "He's a Spix's Macaw isn't he?"

"Yes. I wonder who Jewel is then." Sirius said.

"His squawked in surprise. Then ran over to a nearby puddle and peeked in. He again, squawked in surprise. He was a birdie! A blue birdie! How? Was this why he was a freak?"

Sirius made a new list. "People to Torture Mentally on Harry's Behalf."

Remus's eyes flashed amber for a few seconds and he growled.

"He sat down on his feathery behind and just stared up into the treetops, the moon shining through. Was he in a rainforest? He heard all kinds of insect sounds, birds chattering (He could hear like it was human speech) And sounds of a nearby human city. Where was he?"

"A Jungle somewhere. Most likely Rio de Janeiro."

"THANK YOU HERMIONE."

"Can you hear dogs speak Sirius?" Ginny asked curiously.

"Yep. Animals are just like people when you become one."

"Wait a minute, if I'm a bird, I can fly! Harry thought excitedly. He looked at both his wings, and flapped them. He rose a few inches, then fell flat on his butt with a squeak."

"The girls in the room giggled (Tonks included) While Mrs. Weasley merely awwed.

"Jewel was tired. She had been flying all day around the rainforest that was her home."

"Wait, he was adopted by the bird in his picture he keeps on his nightstand?" Ron asked in confusion.

"What?" Sirius asked in confusion.

"He keeps a picture of a male and female blue macaw with three younger ones with the adults on his shoulder and the chicks on his head with the title "Me and My Family" on the frame." Ron explained.

"That's so sweet." Molly said fondly. Harry was such a good boy.

"The female Spix's Macaw settled down in a makeshift nest when she heard a young squeak. She looked down. A baby Blue Macaw! But where were his parents? She decided to say hi. Was he old enough to talk?"

"Not sure about birds. But Harry spoke his first word at seven months."

"Isn't that a bit early?" Hermione asked as even she said "Dada" at one year two months.

"It was "a'foo." Remus elaborated. "So we figured he was trying to say "Padfoot."

Hermione smiled.

"Aren't you precious?" Harry looked up to see a beautiful female blue birdie just like him! He opened his mouth but only a "cheep" came out.

"Guess that answers the question." Tonks awwed.

Guess he can't talk after all. Jewel thought. He's so adorable. "Are you alone? Where are your parents?" The chick looked sadly at her in confusion. I'll keep him. She decided. She picked up the baby Macaw in her wings and snuggled him. "Don't worry." She said calmly to soothe the whimpering chick. "I'll take care of you.

"So cute." Ginny squealed. "So that's his mysterious mother?"

"Apparently so." Remus said with a sad smile. At least Harry had a happy childhood as a bird. Flying through the jungles of Rio. He smiled as he imagined a smaller Macaw Harry flying with his adopted mother.

"I'll read next." Sirius offered and took the book from Remus. "Chapter 2: Blu's Arrival."

"I think that's his dad." Ron said. "He sometimes has dreams about home and I've heard him muttering the name "Blu" in his sleep."
