I know I'm jumping around, but I need to make sure that I can get to the
end before I'm 80. Will people please review? I don't know if I should go
on. I might still go if you don't review, cause I hate to leave things
hanging. the little number at the top says three, and I think that's really
pathetic. Please tell me if you have any suggestions.

In Echo's third year, she was going to one of her classes when Sirius stopped her in the hall.
"Um.Echo," Sirius began, and Echo noticed that he was without his group, " I was, er, wondering if you could come to hogsmead with me. I mean, if you don't have anything else." He looked at her, slightly red. Echo wondered why he was so embarrassed. After all, he had gone with plenty of other girls.
"Sure. I could meet you at around 4 'O clock, if you want." Echo told him, while trying hard not to sound embarrassed.
"Okay. See you there." He waved goodbye. Echo just sort of stood there for a second, then went to her class.
At 2 'O clock, echo proceeded to her lesson with dumbledore. He greeted her, than said, "Echo, I was thinking that there might be more to this power with animals you have. I want to try finding out if there is anything else."
"Okay, professor." She told him. They went to the paddock like usual, and Dumbledore instructed her to ask the horse if he knew anything.
[Nightstar?]Do you know if there might be something else to this?] She asked the closest one.
[I don't really know. Ask Fava over there. She knows a lot.]
So echo went over to ask fava, a pretty dapple-gray mare with dark stockings.
[You could try changing to animal form. Maybe you can do something else. Try experimenting.] Was her reply. Echo relayed this to dumbledore, and he said, "changing shapes, hum. perhaps you might ask an animagus about it. I could arrange for Minerva to try. In the meantime, do what she said. Experiment when there's no one around. I will see you tomorrow." He walked away. Then Echo remembered her date with Sirius. She rushed to get ready. At exactly 4:06, Echo walked in to three broomsticks to meet Sirius.
"Hi." He told her.
"Hey Sirius. What's up?" she told him, smiling. She felt so uncomfortable! Was she blushing?
" Nothing, really. You want to meet the others?" lily had told her that James had asked her to go with him, too.
"Okay. Let's go." She told him, and they walked out and went on the path to the shrieking shack. They grew more comfortable, and soon Sirius was asking her about how it was at the muggle riding stable.
"It's nice, really. I learn a lot about them, but most importantly, they take wonderful care of the horses. The people are really nice, not at all what you'd expect from muggles, they're actually quite smart. I really liked it."
"I didn't really go close to muggles, but my grandmother was one. So I guess I'm ΒΌ muggle."
"Did you always know your friends? Remus, and James, and peter?" echo asked.
"Only James. Remus and peter we met here." Sirius told her. They arrived at the shack, and Lily and James were waiting there.
"Hey Echo!" Lily waved. Echo waved back. Everyone said hi, and then James asked everyone if they wanted to go to three broomsticks.
"We just came from there!" Sirius complained.
"Too bad." James said to his friend with a grin. They walked back, and Echo drifted back to talk to Lily.
"How long have you two.?" Echo asked.
"Not long! It was just yesterday! You know I would have told you!" Lily protested.
" Uh huh. Of course, Lily." Echo told her dryly.
"For real! You think I'm lying?" lily was speaking softly so the boys couldn't hear, but her voice rose a bit.
" Well, yes. Pretty much. Now how long has it really been?" echo grinned at her.
" Two weeks." Lily grinned back. They walked back up next to the two boys, because they were there. They talked, had a butterbeer, and then went back to hogwarts.
The next day, at 2 'O clock, when Echo went to meet dumbledore, she found professor mcgonall with him.
"Echo, I want to see if you can take the form of an animal. Professor Mcgonall will be trying to help you do it, she's an animagus."
"But professor, that takes years!" Change into an animal? Echo doubted she could do it.
"Your power is unusual, Echo. I'd like to try it." Dumbledore told her. Echo nodded, and decided she might as well try it.
"All right. When I change to a cat, I focus my entire mind on everything about the cat. Features, markings, everything," Mcgonall told her. She changed to a cat, then back, "I want you to try to change to lightning." She gestured to the bay mare standing and watching curiously.
Echo closed her eyes. She thought about Lightning. She pictured the mare in her mind as hard as she could. The result was absolutely nothing. She tried again. This time she felt a wisp of something. But it was gone.
"I can't. I keep trying. But it disappears before I can grab it." She stomped her foot in frustration.
"All right. We'll try again tomorrow. Goodbye." The transfiguration teacher and the headmaster walked away."
That night, Echo asked Shadow if she could try him.[of course,]shadow told her,[be my guest.] he sat to watch. Echo cast a spell on the bed so she wouldn't be disturbed, and closed her eyes. She felt a rope like thing in her mind, and grabbed it. It was gold, and gave off a light, when she touched it she felt herself changing. She opened her eyes. She saw shadow in front of her. He looked big. She looked in the reflection of the bedpost. A cat stared back at her.[shadow?] she asked,[am I you?] shadow gave her a sort of smile. He said,[I suppose. That was interesting. How did you do it?]
[I don't know. Can you give me a tour?] Echo asked him. They trotted off.
Can someone please tell me how to do Italics and other stuff? It's not showing up. Thank you. Please review. Also say if I'm going too fast.
