Ok yea so where did we leave off? Oh yea now like I was saying.
A big cat-like animal jumped out of the forest and tackled James and Sirius. The two boys fell to the ground as the cat-like animal got off of them and turned back towards the forest.
James and Sirius just stared off at it for a moment.
"Wait." Sirius yelled. It stopped.
"Luminos" James whispered. The tip of his wand ignited, he pointed it at the cat to see what exactly it was.
"Bloody hell, that's a panther James."
"The funny thing is Panthers aren't native to the area." Sirius and James looked at each other for a second. When they looked back the panther was gone. I was on one knee one hand on the ground supporting me the other resting on my other knee. My dark red hair looked crimson, blood red by the moonlight, hiding my face, or rather I hid behind it.
"Not a panther, a black leopard actually."
They both jumped. I laughed as I stood up. I walked towards them slowly, seductively. One step almost on top of the other. My body swaying with each step. It was a very graceful, and very dangerous.
"Ellie you're…a…an..."
"Yes James I'm an animagus." I said, smiling wickedly. "I came out her for a run, looks like you ruined my fun. The least you can do is make sure no one else finds out. Oh and tell me how did you find me?"
By that time there only two inches between our bodies, I didn't really notice. I was pissed, they shouldn't have followed me.
"What about Charlie does she know?" Sirius asked.
"No and I want to keep it that way." He refused to tell me how he found me, but he did promise not to tell on me. A jerk he might be, but he was true to his word. I looked past James
"Shit." I mumbled under my breath.
He looked at me "What's wrong."
"Teachers."
"Awe, Ellie's worried that we'll get caught."
I looked back at Sirius. When I turned around to look back at James he was gone. "Shit" that I said to my self. I turned back around and Sirius was gone to.
Figuring that they probably ran to the forest I ran, as fast as I could. When I got to the edge I jumped in mid-jump I shifted to my leopard form.
After a few yards in I decided to track them, I found their secret Quickly. I followed it for a few minutes; it led into a clearing where I found a Stag and a huge shaggy black dog.
The rain stopped but there were a few puddles her and there. That was them. I shifted back.
"James, Sirius its 4 AM people will be waking up soon lets go." I said, pretending not to be impressed.
When we got back to the castle it was a little past dawn. I was tired and we didn't have classes today so I thought I'd take a nap , I set my alarm clack for 8 AM about 31/2 hours later. I was tired I wanted to go back to bed.
Deanna, a girl in my year who is kind of a friend but were not super close literally pulled my out of bed. I climbed back in but then she pushed me off, and sat on my be so I couldn't get back in. Mean people not letting me sleep
"Elinor Cali Washington its 8 o'clock in the morning, get your bum up and outa bed." I was up and I hated being called Elinor.
"My name is Ellie you mindless twit." As soon as it left my lips I wanted to take it back. "Deanna sorry I'm just tired and grumpy." She nodded but a look of hurt was still on her face.
I did eventually get up and take my shower. I added gel to my hair that made it very, very curly I put on a green long sleeve shirt with my favorite pair of Levis. My silver necklace with jade stones every inch decorated it and completed my outfit. I checked the mirror. I looked good.
It was around 9 when I walked down stairs for breakfast. After my shower I was wide awake, I couldn't say as much for Potter and Black though. Remus must have dragged them out of bed. Their heads hung low over their bowls and they had dark circles under their eyes.
"Ellie finally, thought you'd never show up. Here's your schedule, we have all but potions together." Charlie said, she seemed very energetic today. Did I ever mention that Charlie was smart? she's a year ahead of me in potions.
Today's September the 2nd. Only five more days left till D Day. I sighed.
"As soon as Deanna gets down here do you want to go for a walk around the grounds Charlie?"
"Sounds good." She looked over to Lily who was currently trying to get off Potter's lap. He picked her up and is now holding her there.
"Lily, do you want to come with us? It will get you away from him." Charlie asked. She said motioning over to Potter.
"Yea sounds good." She finally struggled free of Potter just as Deanna came in, Charlie and I grabbed the confused looking Deanna and drug her outside with Lily following behind us.
