A/N: Sorry the chapters are so short, I just get really bored if the chapters are long. And I'm sorry that I had to make Mr. and Mrs. Zoel die, but it was the only way to get Arielle to connect with Hermione. Please follow and review!


-September 1st-

I sat on the blue sofa, exhausted. We had been practicing transformations again, and I had managed to transform my other hand into a paw. James thought it had something to do with me being in Foxpaw and having my gift that I could tranform so well. I didn't know.

Kira was growing fast, though she was still very small for her age and a little bit underweight, she was the happiest baby I had ever seen, and she smiled nonstop at everyone.

I jumped to my feet, remembering something. Today was when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were coming! I scrambled to the door to my room and pulled on my clean robes, and tried to do something with my hair. I ran back out, and barreled down the stairs. Dumbledore said that only a true Foxpaw could get into the tower, or him, since he had told me about it.

I pushed open the oak door, and saw three people standing there, arguing in whispers with each other.

"Do you think we did it wrong?

"Can't have, Dumbledore said-"

"Hey!" It was Harry who noticed me first. I pressed a finger to my lips, and gestured for them to follow me up the stairs. I heard the red-haired one, Ron, I think, say

"Wow, Hermione, she really does look like you."

I ignored them and pushed open the door to the common room. Lily and James were sitting together on a couch, and they looked up in surprise when I walked in. They, too, had evidently forgotten that they were coming today.

Harry ran immediately to them, leaving Ron and Hermione to look around in awe. I took the opportunity to fill them in on everything that had happened, and Hermione had the same views on everything that had happened, but she was astonished to hear that I was becoming and unregistered animagus.

"It's against the law!" She said indignantly.

"Hermione, when only 7 people know you exist, the same rules do not apply!" Replied Ron, who thought the whole thing was brilliant.

Lily asked me to hold Kira, which I did quite happily, and passed her off to Hermionewhile I showed them my transformation, my hands at least.

They were there for four hours, and I could not help feeling that I had found my true family at last.
