Phoenix: You know, I could bite you.

Wulfric: You know, I could hex you.

Phoenix: Why should I be afraid of a little person who just sits in front of her computer, typing out what she thinks should have happened within the Potter Universe..?

Wulfric: Ask Tobias.

Harry finished up his essay for Professor McGonagall before her arrival the next day. He had been up early, because of another nightmare. When Albus looked at his tired nature, Harry mentioned the dream, but told him it was just a bit ago, and therefore there wasn't much to be done.

"Minerva will be arriving in a little while," Albus told Harry.

"Is today going to hurt me at all?" Harry asked, just a tad nervous. He had read Albus' book on the transformation, and it had indeed mentioned pain for the first few transformations.

"No my dear boy, today won't hurt," assured Albus. Not ten minutes later, Minerva flooed into the home.

"Albus?" she called out.

"In the study, " came the reply.

When Minerva got there, she saw Harry sitting on the couch, and Albus in a chair across from him. Harry seemed much happier than what he was at the end of term, smiling Minerva realized that it was due to being with Albus.

"Professor McGonagall, I would like to thank you for coming and helping me see if I can achieve the animagus transformation. I'd trust myself with Alby alone, but, well it may be good to have another adult here. Seeing as Alby is more of a child at times, but loveable all the same."

"Hey, I'm not more of a child!" Albus said with a faked hurt expression. He was overjoyed though that Harry had called him loveable.

"Children, children," said McGonagall cutting into their banters. "Now I believe we're all together for a reason."

"You're right Minerva, " Albus said. "Shall we go one with it? Harry?"

"Yes Alby, I'm ready."

Minerva smiled when she heard him call Albus that name, as it seemed so long ago when Harry spoke one of his first words, which to James' horror wasn't Daddy, but Alby. "Okay then Harry, to find out your form, or possibly two forms, you need to drink this potion. You shall be put into a sleep, but the sleep itself will not last that long. Though, you should be comfortable before you drink the potion."

Harry looked over at Albus a moment, and Albus knew what he was silently asking. "Harry, you'll dream your forms with this potion, but that is all that will be in the dream."

"Okay, " said Harry as he got comfortable on the couch and took the vial from McGonagall. Almost as soon as he was finished drinking it, he laid back and was asleep.

"Albus," Minerva began as soon as she was sure Harry was asleep. "Has Harry been having nightmares?"

"Yes, he has been," came the reply from Albus.

Soon enough, Harry began to show the signs of waking. As soon as he was awake, he remembered what he dreamed and decided to voice a question he had.

"Professor McGonagall, Albus, is it normal to dream of more than one animal?"

"Sometimes it is known to happen, what animals did you dream of?" came the question from Minerva.

"Well, I was sitting under a tree near the lake, when I leaned back to rest my eyes. Next moment, there was a purring coming from my lap, when I opened my eyes, there was this cat. He was long haired, very long hair, and his coloring was orange and white. I believe he was at least part Maine Coon, a kind of cat I remember Mrs. Figg having from when I was little. He kind of looked like a lion, with a ruff that was orange. "

"Can you easily imagine how the cat looked?" asked Albus.

"Yes, almost like I had a photograph of it in front of me," came Harry's response.

"Then it looks like we have at least one definite form for you child," Albus said, with a bit of pride in his eyes.

"Were there any other animals present Harry?" came the voice of the Transfigurations professor.

"Yes, as I sat there with this cat, who I felt was called Godric, I felt a small wave of warmth. Looking above me, there was Fawkes sitting in the tree, and he was singing. For once, I was able to make out what he was saying. Is it possible to become a magical animal?"

"It's rare, but possible," answered Albus. "Was there anything else?"

"I could sense other animals nearby that wanted to show themselves, but for some reason held back. Is there a reason for that one?"

Minerva and Albus looked at each other before Minerva spoke. "Harry, those may be other animagus forms that might appear later on in time, or they could be spirit guardians."

"What are those?"

"They are animals, that protect you in some form. Usually one is in the form of the person's patronus," said Albus answering Harry's question.

"Like my father's stag?"

"Yes child, " said Dumbledore. "Just like your father's stag."

a/n: the cat I described.. is in fact one of mine, and his name is Godric. Plus, Godric has a son of his own, who looks and acts exacty like him.. Wulfric.. (my namesake) And Wulfric has 2 uncles Remus and Minerva and an aunt, Salazar.. Just to let is be known, Min & Sal looked almost identical when they were kittens, so the names ended up mixed. There was also a Sirius, but, well he's gone.. Wulfric has siblings, three sisters: Athena, Rowena, and Avis, and one brother Leonis. There's some more kits, Fred & George (orange and white identical twins.. brats).. Coonie & Callie (who i'm keeping along with my namesake), Merlin and Aeneas... Theres also older cats, girls: Phoenix, Centar, Benatar, Boo, Fuzz, and Badgirl.. and a boy.. Gryffin.

I guess you could say I'm a cat person... and therefore I own Godric when the cat's mentioned.. he's mine!

Wulfric

Phoenix: Who is Tobias?

Wulfric: He's from "Like A Grandson", you'd probably get along with him.

Phoenix: Is that so? Can I meet him?

Tobias: Of course you can meet me!

Wulfric: Oh no.. not both of them...
