To Be A Lion
Chapter 3

It had been two days since Harry had made his breakthrough with his animagus, and he was confident he had been the first to completely discover his form, though Hermione and Ron seemed rather triumphant as well as they sat down in their normal spots in the Great Hall for breakfast.
Harry and Ron dug into the food before them while Hermione pored over a thick book. As Harry bit into a piece of buttered toast with jam, he looked up, then nudged Ron. Striding towards them was Professor McGonnagal, though Harry couldn't think of anything he'd done wrong.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger- Here are letters confirming your Animagus status, and important information you will need." The Gryffindor Head of House paused, then turned back to them.
"And congratulations." With that, she turned away, and briskly walked back up to the staff table. After a beat, the three friends turned to look at each other.
"Well, come on, then! Let's open them." urged Hermione. She set to carefully opening it, while Harry and Ron simply tore it open. Inside, Harry found a piece of parchment upon which it said:
Dear Mr. Potter,
Congratulations! You are now an Animagus, but you still have training to undertake. For this reason, you have been assigned a Hogwarts teacher to be your mentor for the rest of the school year. This is a high honor, and should be treated as such.
Please attend your first meeting with your mentor on the following Tuesday in the Great Hall at 7:00 in the evening. At this time, your mentor will be revealed to you. Please use the Colouris Exhaulo charm to send golden sparks into the air, which is how your mentor will identify you.
It is hoped you will enjoy your training, and flourish into a skilled Animagus!
Harry finished reading, and glanced at Ron and Hermione's letters, which where identical other than the color sparks they would send up, and, of course, their names.
"Brilliant!', exclaimed Harry. "Soon we'll be full-fledged Animagi, I can just imagine Malfoy's ugly face when he hears this..."
Ron laughed his agreement, while Hermione reread her letter eagerly. All around them, people were rising, so the three of them packed away their things, and headed off to their first class of the day.
I KNOW! THIS IS SOOO SHORT, AND I HAVEN'T POSTED IN FOREVER! I'M SO SORRY!
The thing is, I'm suffering from depression, so it's hard to find any inspiration to write. I sit down to write, and I just draw a blank. Sorry guys... Maybe if you review, I'll be convinced that this is worth the effort... Thanks.
