~Lily's POV~

I woke up the next morning. It was the first day of my classes. I was so excited. I got up and showered and quickly dressed in my uniform. After dressing I grabbed my book bag with the things I would need for my morning classes. After that I practically ran downstairs I found the boys not in the common room. I rolled my eyes and walked up the boys' staircase.

When I got their room I walked in to find Remus up and ready, but the others were sleeping. I walked over to Sirius's bed and shook him saying, "Padfoot! Padfoot wake up!"

Sirius shot up out of bed yelling, "Don't hit me!" I pulled my hands quickly. Sirius blinked a few times and then looked at me. He shook his head and said, "I'm going to go shower." I nodded and let him go.

With that I looked over and found James rolling out of bed and pulling on some clothes. I roll my eyes and then make up Sirius's and James's beds. When done I throw the other clothes in the hamper where they disappear and magically are sent to the cleaners. I smile and put their books in their bags when the two come walking out of the bathroom dressed and ready for the day. I hand them there bags and we leave going down to breakfast.

I lead the way now, so that they know I won't get lost. When we got down there all of sudden I remember my potion. I haven't taken it in 3 days! Merlin how could I forget! I look at my brothers and say, "I haven't taken my potion for 3 days you guys!"

My brothers all understand immediately and we quickly run up to the Hospital Wing going inside I tell Poppy my problem and she immediately makes me sit down and she does some tests to see how much my illness has progressed. Scared I close my eyes waiting for her to speak.

"Lily you'll be fine. It has barely progressed and as long as you don't miss anymore doses than you should be fine. Here is your dose for today. Here this is for you. It's a special alarm that will remind you to come here every day for your potion. Now go to class before you're late." Poppy tells me. I nod and we leave the Hospital Wing.

"Man I was hungry." Sirius complains.

"I'm sorry I know I should have remembered to take it just with all the change and Bella and me losing control I totally forgot. I-I can't believe I forgot." I said.

James puts his arm around me and says, "It's alright. No worries Lils. It will be fine. Hey what do you say after classes we go for a ride just you and me?"

I smile at James and say, "That sounds great. Bella probably wants to get some exercise." James nods and we enter our first class Transfiguration.

McGonagall stands at the front of the classroom as we take our seats. I sit by James and Sirius takes a seat by Remus. We sit at the front of the class and wait for the rest of the class to file in. Sitting there I wait for her to speak.

McGonagall smiles and says, "Welcome to Transfiguration Year 6. This year we will be starting with simple things for the 6th years." McGonagall talks about all the stuff we are going to cover before Christmas then she starts to talk about after Christmas. "The main topic of this year will be human-animal transformation. Yes animagi. Now after Christmas everyone will take a Ministry required test and we will see if any of you are able to become animagi. Those of you who are will be taken through the process of becoming an animagi. Those of you who aren't will be studying the theory and will be making notes on the process. Those of you who complete the transformation, their final grade will be if they transform fully and correctly. Now first of all today we are going to start taking notes on animagi."

McGonagall tapped the board and lines of notes began to write themselves. We all pulled out our parchments and quills and started copying down notes. "When you are finished with the notes open your books and read chapter 1 and then do the questions at the end."

I looked at my quill and I pulled out another quill. I tapped one of the quills and whispered, "Copia il consiglio." With that the quill quickly began copying the board. While it copied the board I read the chapter and did the questions.

By the end of class I was done while everyone else was just finishing the copying. I placed everything in the correct place in my bag and was ready to leave. I was about to leave the class room when McGonagall called out, "Miss Evans please stay back."

I nodded to the boys to go ahead and waited until everyone had left the room. When the room was empty I asked, "Yes Professor?"

"I was just wondering what gave you the idea of copying the board with magic." McGonagall asked.

"Well back in Italy we were told to use magic in any class that we could. So anytime we would take notes I would simply charm the quill to take them for me while I did the other parts of the assignment." I told her.

"Well that is a good tactic; just don't forget to read over those notes." McGonagall told her. With a smile I nodded then McGonagall gave me a note and sent me off to my next class, Defense Against the Dark Arts.

I walked into the class room to find Ryan standing on the desk at the front of the room waiting for everyone to file in. The boys all noticed me and motioned me over. All the desks were gone and everyone was standing with their friends. When everyone filed in the door closed behind us and it fell silent.

All of a sudden Ryan shot a spell toward our group. I grabbed my wand and yelled, "PROTEGO!" The spell rebounded and the duel broke out between me and Ryan. I was doing well until all of a sudden I was hit with the animagus spell. For anyone who wasn't an animagus it would simply make then act like that animal but for me it would turn me into a wolf.

I quickly was transformed. I growled playfully and barked. I ran around the room dodging spell after spell. Then I ran behind him and barked. Ryan lost his balance and fell forward I jumped in the air did a flip and transformed in mid air with that I landed grabbing my wand and turning all in one fluid motion. I yelled, "Expelliarmus!"

Ryan's wand flew out of his hand and I pointed it at him. Ryan laughed and said, "Well done Miss Evans. You see I believed that spell would work on you and I would be able to get your wand, but I see you are in fact an animagus."

"Yes I am. I am unregistered, but that's because of some things that are none of other people's business." I told Ryan.

The class started to whisper and Ryan said, "Alright that's enough. I would like everyone to split up in groups of 4 and pick a table." Ryan waved his wand after I handed it back to him. Looking around there were 8 tables enough for each group they were round tables that would fit all 4 group members. With a smile the four of us grabbed a table to the front and sat down.

"Alright now this is what your assignment is. I want each group to come up with a spell that would defeat a dark creature. Now the spell cannot already exist and you must make up the wand movement, incantation, background, where you got the idea, and you must do an essay on your group's creature. You will receive all of this year to get this project done. When you are finished I will have your creature brought in and you will test your spell. If it works you will be given 50 house points and an O for the year. So to start we will get your creatures. One person from each group please come up and draw out a creature." Ryan said.

I got up and walked up to the front of the room. I was last in line and everyone else had chosen their creatures. They ranged from hinkypunks to hippogryphs. I pulled out the last replica and found my hand wrapped around a Dementor.

Ryan smiled and said, "This is the most difficult dark creature in this bag. You will have your work cut out for you. One last thing class you may not get help from any of the professors or your peers or parents. I will be walking around and giving each of you a bracelet that has your birthstones on them. The bracelets will only let you communicate about the project with those in your group or you will feel a slight shock. And all of your work will be burned and the group will have to start over. I have already informed all your parents about the project they have all consented. Please get to work."

I walked back over to my table and sat down. We placed the replica in the middle of the table and Remus said, "First I think we need to research other spells that have to do with fighting Dementors and work from that. Also we probably need to go ahead and do that essay on Dementors so we can find any kind of weakness."

We all nodded and pulled out our books to start looking for information on Dementors. We were just starting on the essay when Ryan got to our table. He placed the bracelets on everyone's wrists and smiled. Then he asked, "Doing well on the project Lily?"

"Sorry Professor but I have no idea what you're talking about." I told him and then he laughed and slipped a note in Remus's bag.

We worked through the class period and then said that tonight after dinner we would meet in the common room to talk about a schedule on when we were going to study and who was going to do what. I left the room with my brothers by my side. We had just got down the hall when Alice came running down the hall way toward me.

"Lily," Alice called out. I smiled and said, "Hey Alice how are you?"

"I'm good, but Lily my mum says that she would like to talk to you very soon and before the next full moon. So when is that?" Alice asked.

"The next full moon is next weekend on Friday night. Lucky me right maybe I won't miss classes. Anyway tell her I can meet with her this weekend in Hogsmead if she'd like. She can owl me any time." I told Alice sweetly.

"Thank you Lily. I will tell her." Alice hugged me and then went on to her next class.

The rest of my classes went pretty normal. Soon it was time for dinner and my meeting with Headmaster Dumbledore. I walked the same path I had followed the cat. When I got there I wandered how I would get up the stairs when McGonagall came up behind me and said, "Miss Evans what are you doing here?"

"I have a meeting with Dumbledore but I don't know how to get past the gargoyle and up the stairs." I told her.

McGonagall smiled and said happily, "Lily you simply use the password or if you are an animagus you can use your communication ways to open it. Mine is the meow you heard that night. Yours would be a howl if you were an animagus which I hear from Professor Marshall you are."

"Yes Professor I am. Since I am already an animagus will I have to take the test?"

"No you will not and for you, you will not have to do the assignment at all. You will be helping me along with Mr. Potter and Mr. Black. Helping me will give you your grade. Now I believe you are late I will leave you." McGonagall told her and with that she walked away

I took a deep breath and quickly transformed it was easy as could be for me. When I was transformed I took a deep breath and raised my head howling as loud as I could. The gargoyle quickly jumped aside. I transformed and walked up the revolving staircase. It didn't take long for me to get to the top. I knocked on the door and heard a call, "Enter."

I opened the door and found Dumbledore sitting behind his desk. He smile lightly and said, "Take a seat Miss Evans." I moved to the chair in front of his desk and smiled. With that Dumbledore continued, "My dear I want to start by saying your mother told me on the first day that you came here about your condition. You are in no danger of my students and vice versa. Next I have a common room with its own dorm and everything that is connected to secret tunnels under the school. In these tunnels you could run and be free and away from everyone. I could come and lock the door connected to the tunnels and when the sun rises I could come and unlock them. The tunnels come out at different places on the grounds and in the school but they all must be activated by a wand tapping them. You would leave your wand in the common room. The choice is up to you. You would still be able to get into the Gryffindor Common room and your password to your rooms would be chosen by you."

I looked at Dumbledore and thought, this is perfect. What would mum think? What would my brothers think? But most important what does my wolf think? I took a deep breath and closed my eyes searching for my wolf. I found it sitting in the back of my soul. I gently pet it on the head and whispered, "What do you think?"

My wolf looked at me with those eyes and howled. I smiled and it whispered in my mind, "If it makes you happy it sounds perfect." I kissed my wolf's head and hugged her around the neck and then moved back out of the area. I smiled at Dumbledore and said, "It sounds perfect. Please when can I move?"

"I have moved your things and now we will go and see your rooms and set your password." Dumbledore smiled and stood motioning me to follow him. I moved from my seat and the two of us walked through the corridors until we were on the top floor by the astronomy tower. I smiled as we came to the portrait of a red haired woman with bright green eyes.

She looked so like me that it was scary. I looked at Dumbledore as he said, "My dear Amy I have brought Miss Evans."

Amy smiled at me and spoke in a voice so like my own, "Hello dear. It is good to see you. Now first we must decide on a password. I say we because it must be something I like as well because I will have to hear it all the time. Now what would you like?"

I smiled at her and said, "Lupo." Amy nodded and swung open saying, "Excellent choice my dear." With that we walked into my new common room.

The room had shiny honey oak floor with purple walls. On one wall was a built in bookcase full of books. There was a fire place and comfy chairs and couches in a half circle around it. In the other corner was a built in round table with four chairs surrounding it. Beside the fireplace on the wall was a picture of the founders of Hogwarts. It was huge.

"Behind that photo is the entrance to the tunnels. Also you will find in the middle of the tunnels there is another common room like this one for you to rest at on your full moons if you so choose also it is for your use with whatever you like as long as it pertains to school rules." Dumbledore told her.

I nodded and walked through the door on the other side of the room. I walked into a bedroom. I smiled and found that the floor was honey oak like in the common room and the walls were purple with a silver swirls. I smiled and saw that on one side of the room were a large wardrobe and a large vanity on another wall. On the last wall was a huge four poster bed that had a wooden frame and a deep purple curtains and bedding. I smiled at the room and found that by the vanity was a door. I walked through the door and found my very pretty bathroom.

My bathroom had blue and white tile flooring and a shower with a joining jet tub. There was a huge counter area with a huge mirror hanging above it. I loved it. I went back into the common room and said, "Thank you sir this is a beautiful place. I am so very grateful."

"You're very welcome Miss Evans. Now I do believe that you can catch dinner if you hurry and then you can come back here for bed. Goodnight Miss Evans." Dumbledore told me and then he walked out of the room.

After he left I went down to the Great Hall and found the boys eating dinner. I sat down in my regular place next to Sirius and across from James and Sirius. I smiled at them and piled my plate full. I started eating and telling them about everything that happened. Surprisingly they were happy for me. I was afraid they would want me close to them. They were okay with it.

We were talking and laughing when someone came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and flipped my hair. I connected eyes with Lewis Michaels. I smiled and said, "Hi Lewis what's up?"

"Hi Lily I was just wondering if you by any chance wanted to go to Hogsmead this weekend with me?" Lewis asked.

"Oh umm…I'm sorry I can't I promised the boys I would help them shop for this ball we are going to on the Holidays. I-" I was cut off with Remus saying.

"Lily we can catch you in the afternoon and we could shop then. You could go to Hogsmead with Lewis." Remus told me.

I turned back to Lewis and said, "Well I guess I'm free after all. So yes I will go with you."

Lewis beamed and said, "Alright meet you in the Entrance Hall round let's say 8 o'clock?" I nodded and Lewis walked off.

When he was out of hearing distance I rounded on Remus and hissed, "What were you thinking? I told you I don't really pay attention to guys. I was using you guys as an excuse."

"Lily it is high time you get more friends than just us. You know I love you like a little sister, but Howler you need to get out of your comfort zone for a little bit." Remus told me. I rolled my eyes and said, "Fine."

Later that night I crawled in my new bed and fell asleep.
