A/N: Hey People! This is probably the shortest chapter you will see in this story, but that doesn't take away from what is there. We will find out if the trio will have the ability to be Animagus and/or what they are if they have the ability. We also find out who made the Gryffindor Quidditch teams. Read on!!!

Chapter 10 - Animagus

When the week had finally passed, and Friday had come, everyone woke up and hurried their morning rituals in hope that when they got to the Great Hall for breakfast the Quidditch roster would be up, but to their disappointment it wasn't. Ron was about to go crazy. He kept asking Lillian if he had made it, but she would never tell. Classes seemed to drag on at their anticipation of finding out. After second class everyone hurried to the Great Hall for lunch. A group was surrounding the bulletin board so much that no one could get near enough with out bumping into someone.

"I can't get close enough to see," grumbled Ron.

"Hold on," said Lillian.

Lillian took out her wand and pushed her way through the crowd. When she got close enough the she could reach the paper with her wand she cast and engorgement charm and caused the paper to grow. The crowd cleared. The words were now visible no matter where one stood in the Great Hall. Ron skipped over the other teams and went straight for Gryffindor which read:

QUIDDITCH

TEAM 1:

Seeker: Snitch: Harry Potter (Captain)

Chasers: Quaffle: Lillian Praisley, Neville Longbottom, And Derrick Blane

Keeper: Ron Weasley

Beaters: Bludgers: Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper

TEAM 2:

Seeker: Ginny Weasley (Captain)

Chaser: Andrea Camdin, Jill Druthers, Adam Triocus

Keeper: Jake Sprinz

Beaters: Paul Brinkley and Caleb Sheman

"I made it, I made it," Ron cheered as he jumped up and down.

"We did too," said Harry to Lillian. "Neville and his friend Paul made the team as well. Even Ginny made it."

The noise in the hall was deafening as people checked to see if they made it.

"Let's get out of here," said Hermione, "I can't hear myself think."

The four got up and left the Great Hall. It was much quieter outside. They went out on the front lawn and sat down. The air was warm. It was a beautiful morning not a cloud in the sky.

"So have you practiced being Animagus yet?" asked Lillian.

Hermione shook her head. "I have a little, but haven't quite got it. I look like a winged cat."

"That is because you are trying to become an animal, but you aren't concentrating on one animal. You are most likely able to become two separate animals. Perhaps the owl and cat you spoke of."

"Can you tell us what animal if any we can change into?" asked Ron.

"I shouldn't," said Lillian, "but I don't see that it would hurt anything. Give me your hand."

Ron reached his hand to her. "You also can become two, a badger and a weasel."

"Not much are they?" he said a bit disappointed.

"Actually," Hermione explained, "a badger is able to carry its own weight and the weasel has the ability to get itself out of danger without much trouble."

Ron felt better now that he knew how each of his animals is beneficial. In turn Lillian informed Harry that he could become a snake and a stag. Harry expected since he was a Parselmouth he could change into a snake, but never did he believe he could become like Prongs. Lillian also confirmed that Hermione could indeed become an owl and a cat.

"Let's go to Hagrid's cabin to practice," suggested Harry.

When they entered Lillian watched each of them try to change. Hermione still had her two mixed a little, but Harry and Ron still couldn't change.

"I once read a book that said that the easiest way to change is to close your eyes and just think the way the animal would," said Lillian.

Harry closed his eyes and tried to think like a snake and before he knew it his arms and legs disappeared and he laid on his stomach a black cobra.

"Wow, he said. I've never felt anything like this before."

"Speak Parselmouth, Harry," said Ron.

Harry rose up as if he was going to strike and hissed, 'I'm going to get you'.

"Ron, it is your turn," said Hermione.

"Why don't you go next?" he said.

"Fine I will," she said and with a quick motion she turned into a brown striped cat.

Ron looked down at her as she rubbed against his legs and purred.

"Okay here goes," Ron said closing his eyes and concentrating first on the badger. When nothing happened, he concentrated on the weasel and began to transform almost immediately.

"Great, the animal that is easiest for me to change into is a weasel. Now everyone will call me Weasley the Weasel," Ron complained.

"Don't worry about it," said Lillian, "Just know that you are able to change into an animal is a great achievement."

"I have an idea," said Harry. "There are four us, just like there were four in my dad's group. They had nick names: Padfoot, Prongs, Mooney, and Wormtail. How about we create nicknames for us something associated with our animals."

"Which of our animals do you think we should use?" Ron asked.

"Maybe we should have one animal registered and keep the other a secret that only we know about just in case we ever need to get away from trouble." said Lillian. "Decide and tomorrow we will figure out nick names for ourselves."

They agreed and for the rest of lunch they practiced changing into both of their animals.

The next day, they again left lunch early and went to Hagrid's cabin.

"Has everyone decided what they want to register?" asked Lillian.

"I am going to register my deer," said Harry. "That way those who think just because I speak Parselmouth that I would be a snake will be surprised."

"I will register my owl," said Hermione.

"I think I will register the badger," said Ron.

"What are you going to register as, Lillian?" asked Harry.

"Man's best friend, a dog, a golden retriever to be exact," she answered. "I had one when I was a young girl. He died shortly after I turned nine. His name was Max. I want to register this way in tribute to him."

"Great, now what does everyone want their nickname to be?" asked Harry. "I'll be Cobra, since my animal is a cobra. Hermione, what should we call you?"

"Mine is a cat, so I shall be Whiskers," said Hermione.

"I couldn't think of a name," said Ron. "I guess I will be Weasley the weasel."

"How about you are plain Weasel?" said Lillian. Ron shrugged his shoulders.

"My nickname can be Venus. It is a broke down part of my name. So there we have Harry is Cobra, Hermione Whiskers, Ron Weasel, and I'm Venus. Are we in agreement?" Everyone agreed. "Great, we will show McGonagall Monday.

When Monday came, the four left the Great Hall after breakfast and went to Transfigurations. Professor McGonagall was already there when they arrived. Otherwise the classroom was empty.

"Professor?" said Lillian, "We need to show you something."

Professor McGonagall, whom was an Animagus, transferred herself from the cat form that she was at the moment back into her human form.

"What is it?" asked McGonagall.

"We have achieved becoming Animagus." said Hermione.

"This quickly," she said looking surprised. "Please show me."

Harry changed into the deer just like his father. Followed by Hermione into an owl, Ron into a badger, and Lillian into the golden retriever.

"Wonderful," said McGonagall. "I have never seen a student learn so quickly. You have received you extra credit and come Christmas we will have you registered."

They thanked Professor McGonagall and took their seats.

A/N: I know that in the Harry Potter books that there are only very few registered Animagus, but I really wanted them to get credit, but also have another identity to use if ever necessary.

I think if I ever could become an Animagus I would be something that could fly. I have so many dreams that I can fly. Is that normal? Does anyone else have dreams they can fly? If you could be an Animagus, what do you think you would be?

Drop me a review, let me know, and proceed to the next chapter. : )
