Chapter 6 - A family secret
"So, the weekends starting tomorrow, what are you guys doing?" Lala asked
"Well, I have a huge pile of homework..." Ana began
"Oh come! We all know you will finish that tonight." Bella smirked
"Well, I found this really big book in the library and I am going to read it!" Cia smiled "It's about..."
"Dragons." Her friends all said and laughed
"Seriously is that all you think about?" Al giggled.
"No!" Cia frowned "I think about other things too!"
"Of course you do." Ana grinned.
"What's going on over there..." Bella muttered, the six of them stopped and across the court yard a bunch of year five Slytherins were picking on a first year Ravenclaw.
"That's Sasha Roberts. He's in my class..." Lala said
"Well, lets sort this out!" Cia thrust her books into Ana's arms and stormed towards them.
"They are three years above us!" Gia gasped.
"HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Cia called out.
"And we're so dead..." Lala whimpered, the fith years turned to her.
"What do you want little lion?" One smirked.
"Leaver Sasha alone!" Cia repeated, she watcherd Sasha run away, then glared up at the Slytherins.
"Living up to your house trait there. Bravery. You're just a pipsqueak. Why not go running off to your mommy." Another boy laughed, causing the others to laugh to. Cia balled her hands into fist.
"Don't you dare say anything about my mother." Cia warned.
"Or what?" The first smirked.
"She was probably and muggle, or a mudblood..." One began, he was silenced, by the fact they were no longer faced with an angry First year Gryffindor, but face to face with an angry teenage Dragon. It roared at them and they ran off screaming. The dragon snorted angrily and roared after them.
"What on earth..."Mcgonagall and Dumbledore came running over.
"professor, its Acacia!" Al told her. Mcgongagall faced the dragon.
"Miss...Miss. Potter?" She asked, the dragon bowed it's headf and Cia stood there as she had before, but this time looking ashamed.
"I'm sorry Professor...I didn't meamn too. Those boys called my mother a mudblood...and I can't control my animagus when I'm angry..." Cia said
"An animagus...how..." Mcgongagall was in shock.
"I've been an animagus since I was three. A long story sort, my dad and his friends were working on a potion that would allow people to learmn how to be animagus' faster. I kind of got hold of it and well, the rest you've seen for yourself." Cia explained, her friends stared with mouths open.
"Well, Miss. Potter, come with me. We'll have to get you registered as an Animagus, but I have never seen someone become a dragon before." Professor dumbledore had to led Cia away.
"Well, explains why she likes Dragons." Ana said, the other nodded then laughed
"I'm so sorry Professor, I know I should have told somebody..." Cia told the headmaster as soon as he sat down.
"It is fine Miss. Potter. And don't worry, I have told the ministry we have a animagus here who needs to be registered and they will be bringing a form for you to fill in, and you will be free to transform without being in trouble." Dumbledore smiled
"oh, thank you Professor." Cia said
A few minutes later, a ministry official came into the Headmaster office.
"So, this is the young Animagus, never seen one so young before." He said
"Oh, I have been an Animagus since I was three." Cia explained, both Dumbledore and the official looked at her. "My mom was going to wait until I was a little older to register, but then the whole Voldemort thing happened and I never did."
"Wow, Now, just fill in this." The ministry help Cia fill in the form. "Here you need to put in what you become."
"Okay." Cia wrote 'Dragon' in the box.
"A dragon?" The ministry looked at her in disbelief.
"Why not show him Cia, that way he can vouch for it." dumbledore suggested. Cia nodded, she got up and stood in a clear space.
"Sorry if I break anything." Cia said, the next thing she was a dragon. Her scales with a sunset amber.
"Merlin's beard." The Ministry official gasped. Cia smiled and looked over a Dumbledore.
"I do believe the species is a Amazonian Sky-Rager." Dumbledore muttered. Cia turned back.
"Yep, real rare and doesn't show it's self to humans. Despite being called a Sky-Rager, they only fly when hunting or when defending it's terrotiry." Cia nodded
"Right, is that everything filled in?" dumbledore asked.
"No, I need asigniture from Miss. Potter." The Official said, Cia signed it and he went on his way.
"So, I can transform now?" Cia asked
"Yes, but, I shall have to put up a notice. I believe you transformed because you were angry." dumbledore said. Cia nodded. "I will need to infor the students it is not wise to anger you. Is that okay?"
"Yes, Professor, thank you so much." cia smiled. Dumbledore let her go.
"Cia!" Gia and the other came running over.
"I am now a registered Animagus!" Cia beamed, informing them happily.
"Seriously?" Ana asked
"Yep, when my animagus form gets stronger, it will become big, who wants to go on a fly when my dragon form is big enough?" Cia grinned
"Do you even have to ask Cia, you know we all want too. Wait..." Al stoped and looked at Cia a look of complete understanding on her face. "Scales?!"
"Thats me." Cia smiled "I'll tell you the whole story."
"Are you sure?" James asked Remus for the tenth time.
"Yes Prongs, positive. But, how are we going to test it?" Remus signed
"We could ask Lily..." Sirius began
"you know she'll refuse." Jame looked at him. None of them noticed three year old Cia toddle in. Her brown eyes fell on her dad and uncles. Giggling she tried sneaking up on them, but a bright gold potion in a bottle caught her attention. She looked at it with wide eyes and changed direction. She tried reaching up for the bottle, but her little hands couldn't reach. Frowning, Cia looked around. She smiled as she saw her stool she used when she helped her Mom. She picked it up and put it next to the table. Climbing on to it, Cia faced the potion happily. She tried taking off the top, but couldn't. She frowned again.
"Oh!" Cia gasped with an idea. She got off her stool and dragged it into the kitched, the bottle still in hand.
"No, we can test it on Lily's sister. She is a muggle, I don't care how much we dislike her." James told Sirius. Cia got out her cup and held the bottle over the cup holding a wand in her other hand. She stuck her tounge out as she tried to think of one spell. The bottle suddenly turned upside down, with it in place, Cia was able to use another spell to take out the top, the potion poured into the cup. She put the bottle down and picked up the cup, and drank it.
"Spicy apple!" Cia smiled, her faveourite flavour! She drank the rest of it happily. The next thing was a blur. Cia suddenly became a baby dragon. she looked at her claws and put the cup down and getting on the floor. She giggled to herself and flapped her little wings. She wizzed around the kitchen, before knockinging to the side, which caused the cup and empty bottle to crash onto the floor.
"Cia!" James came running in, Dragon cia smiled up at him and hugged his leg.
"Dude, you are so explaing this to Lily!" Sirius ran from the house.
"Hey, you are part of this too!" James yelled after him. Remus rolled his eyes and picked up dragon Cia.
"Hey Cia, I want you to think about you being human again, okay. For your Uncle moony." Remus said, Cia closed her eyes and thought. "That's our girl." Cia was back to normal, Cia opened her eyes.
"Love you Uncle Moony!" She giggled. "MOMMY!" She cried as the door opened and closed. Lily bent down and hugged her daughter.
"Hey sweet heart, what did you do today?" Lily smiled
"I am a Dragon! Like daddy is a deer and Uncle padfoot a dog!" Cia grinned, James and Remus gulped as Lily looked up at them.
Cia was laughing along side her friends.
"So, what did your mom do?" Lala asked
"My dad and my uncles had to do all the house work for the next two weeks." Cia grinned "But, in all honesty, my mom was proud of me and the fact my dad make a potion that didn't cause any of my ncles to end up with something wrong."
"That's great." Ana smiled "So, how does one normally become a animagius?"
"You know what...I have no Idea. Even the potion has been lost." Cia frowned
"Oh well, on day, we'll do it officailly." Al smiled
"I can't wait." Cia nodded. "Now, who hungry?" They all agreed and headed off towards the Great hall, hopeing some was still left.
