It had been ten years since it happened and Harry and Neville were still inseparable. They celebrate their birthdays together on Harry's because they're only one day apart. Harry had had accidental magic before when he was five he turned his mother's hair blue. His hair would grow right back when he got a haircut
That got the Marauders to burst out laughing.
Neville still hasn't had any accidental magic though. Albus would come and check on them sometimes and ask if Neville had done any accidental magic but would get the same answer, no. Now he was wondering if he had seen the right memory. They would see what would happen as they got older. Neville's grandmother will come visit sometimes and check on him.
It was the day they had been waiting for, the day they become an animagus. While James read the direction Sirius would pass Remus the ingredients and Remus will make the potion.
"Alright, it's finally done. Now when you two take it you'll be out for a few minutes and find out what you are." Remus said.
James handed them their potion and the three Marauders waited for them find out what they are. A few minutes later they were back.
"What do we have?" James asked.
"I'm a Phoenix." Harry said.
"I'm a wolf." Neville said.
"So, we have a phoenix and a wolf huh?" Sirius said.
They nodded.
"Alright, just focus on what you saw while you were gone and you'll be in your form." James said.
So Harry and Neville focused on what they saw. Harry was a red, blue and green phoenix and Neville was a grey and white wolf. Then they switched back and waited.
"So, how'd we do?" Harry asked.
"Awesome guys!" Sirius said.
"Shall we add them to the map? Have them come up with nicknames, a group name and put them in the map?" James asked.
"You two want some nicknames for each other?" Remus asked.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"Yeah!" they said together.
"Alright then, any ideas?" Sirius asked.
"Hmm, Dumbledore's phoenix is called Fawkes, and they turn into flames when they die." Harry said. "Flames because I'm so red?"
"Sounds good to me, Prongs?" Sirius said,
"I like it Padfoot, Moony?" James said.
"Sounds good to me Prongs, Padfoot." Remus said.
"Alright, next is Neville and a wolf. Any ideas?" Sirius asked.
"Hmm, grey and white wolf. Let's see, well wolves howl and you can get a howler. So maybe howler just for the heck of it?" James thought.
"What do you two think?" Remus asked.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"Yup! Fine with us." Neville said.
"Alright then, next up is group name, they haven't been in Hogwarts yet so we don't know what house they'll be in." Sirius.
"You wouldn't be mad if one of us was in Slytherin, would you?" Harry asked nervous.
James smiled. "Of course not, your grandmother was a Black so she was a Slytherin. Every Black but Sirius has been in Slytherin."
"Oh, I didn't know that. Why aren't you on the tree?" he asked.
"Why aren't I on the tree?" James asked.
"I don't know. I can add you two if you want." Sirius said.
"Sure, Harry?"
"Sure."
"Actually, I left everything in my will for Harry, which also includes the heir of Black. I got rid of Bella and brought me and Andy back on the tree. I trust Cissy but not her husband or son, you don't mind do you?" Sirius asked.
"Fine with me, what about you Harry?" James asked.
"Alright." Harry said.
"Good. Let's continue shall we?" Sirius said.
"Yes lets." Remus said.
"Hmm, Quicksters?" James asked.
"What would that mean?" Sirius asked.
"Wolves are pretty quick and phoenix's are quick." he said.
"What do you think? Good enough for now? Then when they get to Hogwarts we can think of something better?" Remus said.
"Good enough for now." Sirius said.
"Alright, let's go get the map and put their nicknames shall we?" Remus asked.
"Let's." Sirius said.
"You giving Harry the cloak when they get to school?" Remus asked.
"Of course I am. Harry's the next Potter so it's up to him. Maybe they'll play around with it like we did when they get there and sorted." he said.
"Maybe." Sirius said.
So they went to get the map and put there nicknames.
The next day they were at school and Harry was being chased by bullies. Then he jumped over a trash barrel and then seemed to have apperated and ended up on the school top.
When he was back down the headmaster called his parents.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
"I was being chased by some bullies and then when I jumped over a trash barrel I ended up on the top of the school. I didn't mean to! I think that was just a weird bit of accidental magic." he explained.
"OK then, um is it possible he apperated?" James asked.
"Maybe, but you would have to be strong. Then again, you two are quite strong witch and wizard." the headmaster said.
"Yes we are, and being our son he's probably going to be pretty strong." James said.
After the chat they went to grab Neville and went home.
