The Flower, the Snake, and the Stag
Chapter 10
"James…. James come on, wake up." Lily shook him gently.
"What?" James said groggily.
"I want to train a bit before breakfast."
"Lily it's the crack of dawn, besides you might not even be able to do it, lots of people can't."
"What's all the racket in here?" Sirius asked stepping out of the guest room.
"James here sais I can't transform, I'll show you can't transform!" Lily turned to stomp away only to find that she didn't have feet, but hooves. Lily was scared, she didn't know what to do she began to bleat helplessly.
James was just as scared as she was, "Stay calm Lily, it's all right."
"James she doesn't speak English at the moment," Sirius told him.
"What do I do?"
"Prongs," Sirius said exasperated "She's a doe you speak the same language."
"Right." With that James transformed, when he saw her through his new eyes, he fell in love all over again. She was so beautiful, even with hooves.
"Lily," he said "Calm, too change back you need to feel your human body, think human again."
Meanwhile Lily was just as stunned by James, 'Lord but he looks good as a stag.' She thought and did as he instructed, this was surprisingly easy, and suddenly she was human again, and James was right behind her.
"I'm impressed, that was very fast for a first go at it." Sirius said slightly flabbergasted.
"And you thought I couldn't do it." Lily said smugly to James
"I only said that so you would do it." James replied. "My first time was like that too, Sirius got me so mad and I just transformed, almost speared him too."
"What'd he say to get you so mad?" Lily asked eyeing Sirius as he left the room
"He said, if I remember correctly 'She doesn't even like you mate just forget about Evans, try for someone better looking.'"
"You attacked him over that?" She asked sceptically
"I wasn't about to let him insult you was I? Besides Love makes you do crazy things. I knew you couldn't resist a challenge Lils especially not one from me."
"You know me too well." She said blushing.
"He's telling you about the time he nearly speared me and all you do is blush, do I get no pity?" Sirius asked reappearing
"No."
"Well I did deserve it."
"Hey! That's not what you've been saying all these years. You've been holding it over my head." James scowled.
"At least I didn't bite you, I could have you know," Sirius scowled back at him.
"Boys, what's past is past. There's no need to keep fighting over it." Lily soothed
"I won't be fighting over it, as long as he doesn't repeat that statement he made in that dormitory."
"I won't be insulting your fiancé, I love Lily and you know it. I only said it so you'd move on mate and a fat lot of good it did too."
"I really am sorry about that James; I never gave you a chance,"
"I was being an idiot, besides 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.'"
Lily giggled "Five years of absence and insults and you're still just the same."
Lily spent the rest of the day changing back and forth, from doe to human and back.
James had so much fun watching his fiancé. It still made him smile to be able to call her that, and she was having so much fun, even Sirius was enjoying himself.
Lily was happiest when they were all animals, she found that she could understand what Sirius was trying to say when he was a dog, but she couldn't tell his exact words. Whereas she could understand James as clearly as she could when they were both human. It was fun she finally understood why they were always sneaking out to transform, even when it wasn't full moon.
The next morning Remus came by and was delighted by Lily's transformation {though at first he mistook her for James, until he realised she had no antlers}.
Sirius and James had kept their quest from him, as a surprise, the next full moon Lily would be joining them.
