Lily's friend*Jess : Oh!!! I read your
profile and I'm really really glad!!!!! I'm so glad that I'm glad that I feel
so— ack! Been reading too much of Pollyanna :P ought to stop
using that word from now. anyway, here's a little tip. If you look carefully
enough, you'll see many faults that I make every now and then [probably every time!]
and did you really read all my L/J and those stupid poetries [I wish I could
kill them but I can't. they're literature and I love literature, in spite of
myself]?? *gazes solemnly at the sky* Mercury looked pretty cold today, don't you
think? [psst!!! That's my clue for my dream ^^]
New Name : Voldemort with peace
sign? *glances in puzzlement* I think I'm having a bad memory day…
Lori : I don't need to hide
from you at all!!! See, I'm on one side of the globe and you're on the other! I'm
positive of this fact! My mum told me it's bad to lie, but I always added a
little thought to the lie. For example: 'I hate writing and I couldn't read any
books because I'm blind.' NOT! That's a way, isn't it? I guess that isn't
lying, but telling whoppers [oh no!! now I've read too much of Anne Shirley!!!]
that are half real. You called the Hotline??? And you actually got the phone
answered???? *gapes at Lori* You're one great one, then. And Voldemort actually
answered, and he really said "Yes, Ma'am"?? That's nice!!! I was thinking that
Voldemort would probably say "Hahaha! Avada Kedavra! Hang on. I'm over the
phone." or maybe "Avada Kedavra – turn into a banana for me to munch!!!!" that
sounds nice, too. Just like me! Anywayz, I can't email around too much, cause
dad's at his wit's ends with me at the moment. But the dream's about … sorry,
can't tell. I really can't!!! Cause… *mutters under her breath* but the only
clue is with Lily's friend*Jess so maybe you can ask her…?
Noelle : hola to you, too! The
typing mistakes… If it's that weird "J" thing that keeps popping up, I simply
haven't got any idea how it appeared!!! I re-read everything twice before
sending it up, and it wasn't there before! Really!!! Pranks… next chapter,
perhaps? No, I'll write about pranks when I feel like it J depressing time is the best time for prank writing
because I think horribly stupid at that time. And you called the Dursleys??? I can't
believe it. I wouldn't dare make a call like that, because the bill will go
right off the roof! Answer to your question: The twins… I never really thought
of that *grins sheepishly* honest! I want them to just be there for the fun of
it and probably just turn up at a couple of scenes at the wrong time, if you
get what I mean. Most probably Marauder-Wanna-Be though I wouldn't understand
how anyone would want to be like them. They're a little egoistic, now that I think
of it. Oh, before I forget!!! Ps: I write really stupid l/j, but I like only
two or three from the load I'd written. Anywayz, I just can't say that this
series are that nice as you'd thought.
lily girl : thank you for the
email!!!! And I love you poetry!!!!!!!!!!

The Marauding Five : Year Five
Chapter 3: It worked! It worked!
'So please, pretty please, can you help us?'
Lily asked, turning a puppy dog eye to Hagrid. Sirius, James and Remus followed
her example and the huge man roared with laughter, shaking his little hut very
violently
'Ah'll try, mate, but no promises!' Hagrid
guffawed.
'You have to!!! Else, tell us where
to find them!' James said earnestly. He meant to go right to the end of the
earth if he could find them there.
'Nay, James. Yeh can't skip yer school at
all,' Hagrid said. 'Yeh have yer OWLs fer the year!'
'Christmas is coming soon,' Remus said
hopefully.
Hagrid turned to the girl right behind the
four. Adele was sitting at the back, making all possible signs of no and
shaking her head very violently. Hagrid was wondering why hadn't it fell off by
now.
'Ah'll do it, then,' Hagrid said, reverting
his attention back to the four earnest eyes that were waiting hopefully for his
answer.
'Hurray!!!'
'Really, you guys go through all sorts for
the ingredients!' Adele said sourly, when they were walking back across the
field. She was still sorely hurt from the fact that she was excluded from their
plans on turning into an illegal animagus.
And it was all because she had resented the
idea at first.
'We're planning to get it done by the next
full moon, hopefully. That's a week later. Although we mightn't get it done in
time, it's still worth a try than no try,' Lily said, twisting her sentence a
little.
'Remus needs company,' Sirius nodded. He was
one of the few idiots who could understand Lily's sentence.
'You're merely hunting for fun and reasons,'
Remus said, rolling his eyes. This, Adele decided, was yet another of the idiot
people group. 'But I still appreciate you help, Sirius.'
'Guys,' Adele started. 'Do you want any help
on that? Cause I have the Elephant feathers and Owl Hairball already. And a
couple of others, too.'
'You do? That's simply wonderful!!!!' Lily
cried. In her enthusiasm, she pulled Adele into a tight hug. A very
tight hug.
'L- lemme g- g- go…'
'Sorry! Thank you soo much!' Lily beamed
gratefully. Adele smiled wanly whilst trying to fill her lungs with air again.
'Here, give it to me so I can brew it,'
Sirius said. He went pensive for half a minute. 'Hang on. Do conditions apply?
Again?'
The last time Adele had offered them some
information, she had the conditions on that she, too, will became an animagi
with the Marauders. Adele shook her head delicately.
'No. Don't worry, I didn't alter it,' Adele
said. 'It's in the cabinet in our hideout, next to my bed, since I just got it
yesterday.'
'Cool!!!!" James said. Just then, two small
figures ran to the group of five eagerly.
'Hi Pattempt, Pastilla,' Sirius greeted the
pair of twins.
'Hello James, Sivius, Vemus, Lily and
Azele,' the twins chorused in unison.
'It's Sirius' Sirius corrected in
annoyance. 'And Remus. And Adele.'
'Yes, Sirius. And Remus. And Adele,'
they repeated roboticly. Sirius smiled at himself in satisfaction.
'Ve tot you vold like to see out new pet. Iz
name iz Zamba,' Pastilla said earnestly.
'What pet IS Zamba? Or was it Damba or Ramba
or Samba?' Remus asked. He was certainly getting quite confused with his
letters now, with the twins speaking in their odd, demented English.
'It iz Zamba. Zamba iz a Peaniks!' Pattempt
said. ''e iz a baby Peaniks!'
'Whatever this "Peaniks" is, kids,' James
shrugged. 'Anyway, lead the way! This proves promising, if not fun!'
**
'Wow… it's fantastic!' Adele commented.
'Better than Fawkes!' Remus agreed.
'It's just some stupid bird,' Sirius said
heartlessly.
'It's magnifique!' Lily cooed.
'Large,' James said flatly.
'L.. arge?' Lily echoed.
'Big. Nice, fat and big.'
'Oh.'
'He means he'd like to have it for supper
later,' Remus said to the two first years. 'Look kids, I suggest you hide this
bird before Sirius and James make a barbeque outta the creature. I don't care
how this Pheonix is really going to be rebirth against from the ashes he was
cooked in, but I can assure you that he will most probably fail than succeed.'
'Isn't it lovely? Pattempt found it at ze
forest, when 'e iz doing 'iz deglension!' Pastilla said proudly, beaming, as if
twin brothers that got sent for detentions and find a pheonix is something that
should be proud of. 'Zamba iz ficks, at that time.'
'Sick, you mean. Does Pastira know about
this?' Adele enquired, referring to their elder sister in Ravenclaw fifth year,
who is a part to the infamous Ravenclaw Gossip Gang.
'No. ve keep zis to ourzelf,' Pattempt sai.
Just then, Remus remembered something important.
'Say, can we have one, just one,
feather from Zamba?' Remus asked.
'If Zamba lets, why not?' Pastilla said,
after a short conversation in french with her brother. Remus turned to James,
who took it as his cue to talk to the bird-he-was-about-to-have-for-supper-but-decided-against-it
about it.
'Whatever for?' Adele asked.
'The potion. We've been looking for a
pheonix for long, besides ol' Fawkes,' Sirius replied softly. He went on
loudly, 'Here James, why not I try it for ya?'
To the twins's enormous surprise, Sirius
suddenly lasped into a screech and into a haunting song. Or at least, what it
seems like to the audiences. Sirius had the bird's attention and started cooing
and screeching lowly, so that James wouldn't make out his voice.
Zamba turned to Sirius and gave him a
haughty look for a moment or two. Finally, he gave his feathers a strong
ruffle, shaking some of the loose gold-green-red feathers onto the cold ground.
Sirius grinned in satisfaction and picked the feathers up.
James gaped.
'Sirius, I can't believe it! You actually
learn how to speak to animals perfectly properly!'
The boy grinned.
'I've been practicing,' he said modestly.
The rest of them snorted.
'I'll bet that he just simply say something
and the bird thought it was a laugh worth, puffed his feathers and that's how
it really is,' Remus murmured.
**
'In with the wailing water,' Sirius
instructed. 'And soften its wails!!!' Sirius yelled, when Adele nearly tipped
it into the cauldron harshly.
'Okay, okay!!! If you stop yelling in my
ears, we wouldn't be getting an earache!' Adele hissed impatiently, slowing
pouring the wailing water they got from the Haunted Maiden Well in North
Hogsmeade.
Of
course, that didn't mean it was the easiest task ever, since it's more like
drawing water from a normal well. But like the old English nursery rhyme of
Jack and Jill who went up the hill, their "Jacks" and "Jills" had enough
trouble to fill the one with the broken crown.
The water wailed when they seperated some
drops from the bucket. It wailed when they tried to mop it. It wailed when the
tried to water-nap it. It wailed when they do everything that upsets a very,
very low self-esteem and very, very sensitive maiden.
'One would've thought that was Moaning
Myrtle in there,' Lily had once said. 'No, make that fifty Moaning Myrtles.
They wails were almost the same.'
'Me? Loud? You've got to be kidding!!! Now
maybe you'd shut up, cause you're the one who was yelling!' Sirius shot.
'Oh yeah? Well who was the idiot who—'
'Enough already! This takes six months of
hard brewing!!!!' Lily said in exasperation, trying to stop her two friends
from going into further details in their argument. It did the trick. They
stared at her, wide-eyed in amazement.
'Six months!!! That's near to forever!!!'
Remus nearly wailed in dismay. James gave them a flickered grin. One which
makes you feel frighten of him.
'You think we hadn't done any research,
wolf-boy? Well you're wrong. We've just looked up out potion books to find an
ingredient to hurry the brewing and not even destroy the effects of the
potions. The more of it, the fast it'll be. And the ingredient it…'
His friends lean over eagerly to learn what
this secret oh-so-powerful ingredient is.
'The Wailing Water!!!!' James
finished, tipping the remains of the water into the gold cauldron belonging
once to Emily Potter, James's gran. The water, as its name, wailed and sobbed
loudly as its contents mixed with the potion and faded when the water
dissolved.
'Shut up, James!!!!' they – the remaining
foursome – hissed.
'Never fear cause James is here!!!' James
said, proudly presenting four more buckets of the silvery-green water. Without
waiting for a reply, he tipped all the contents into the cauldron. This, of
course, resulted in loud wailings of the late maiden who had died in the well.
**
'What happened?' Tally asked in amazement,
staring at all five Marauders. Each of them had their ears in bandages and each
face housed a very sour and bitter look. They glared at her mercilessly at
first, for asking them such an obvious question.
'What do YOU think?' James said. Sirius
glared vindictively at James.
'You wanna know, Tal? Well Mr J. Potter
thinks that yelling is the best medicine – and no, I'm NOT lying, girl! Take
that look off your face! – when people are just nearly five inches from his
messy seaweed hair,' he snarled.
'Er, excuse me boys but I have a very short
statement to make: Huh???' Tally said in confusion.
'Better you don't know about it that you
know about it. That moron over there-' Lily jabbed her thumb at James, who was
whistling uncaringly – 'Yelled in out ears until they are what you see now.
It's a real great wonder that our eardrums hadn't burst yet,' Lily muttered.
'Ear…drums?' Tally echoed. In her mind's
eye, she saw a miniature doll beating a drum in her ears. It gave her a
headache.
'Yeah. And it's a great wonder, too, that
our cauldron never overflowed,' Adele muttered.
'Because that water's magic,' Remus said
logically.
'Cauldron? I don't remember homework
assigned for potions…' Tally said slowly. The Marauders were decidedly weird
now, if not before. They just change at any time, any minute, any day, any
week, any month and any year. All up to them.
'Er- it's for Lily! she destroyed her
Tantallia Potion, remember?' Remus said as casually as he can. 'She made a mess
outta that.' Lily rolled her eyes indignantly.
'Yes, Remus, and my name is Sirius Black.
How do you do?' Lily said sarcastically. 'Hello!!! I hand that it ages ago!'
she cried.
'For the sake of the law!' James whispered.
He cleared hist throat and spoke loudly. 'That was your Capertise Potion, Lily.
You forgot? No wonder you failed potions.'
'Oh. Okay. Yeah, how could I have forgotten
that, huh? The potion flunker, Lily Evans. And how could I have forgotten that
a new genius – namely James Edward Potter – is reigning my last crowned title
of glory?' Lily said, injecting a tiny bit of sarcasm in it.
'I don't care now what you five are playing
at!!! I'm exasperated!' Tally yelled. 'But I came for a favour,
oh-almighty-ones, Marauders of Hogwarts.'
'Oh?'
'Can you teach me how to kill Dan?
Preferably with fingers and hands? I'm in a dire need of seeing him dead and I
couldn't possibly do so unless someone teaches me the Avada Kedavra or
something similar or challenge him into a Wizard's Duel and finish him all,
once and for all,' Tally said with vengeance. Her cool posture had disappeared,
somehow.
'Yes we heard you, and why not you kick that
bucket over there and do us a favour? We'll be honoured,' Sirius said
boringly, waving at the last bucket of Wailing Water.
'And waste such a beautiful chance? No way!
I'll just throw its contents over Dan!' Tally said, stomping over to Sirius.
She grabbed the wooden bucket and stomped
heavily and elephant-like towards the Gryffindor Tower. The Marauders hadn't
much of a clue what happened, though, but loud wails and yells were heard for
nearly rest of the day, giving the old Hogwarts castle not a single moment of
silence.
**
Lily gulped nervously as her shaky hand
reached down for the silver goblet, adorned with beautiful carvings of, oddly
enough, a panda thing. Lily never noticed this, though. She was too busy
wondering about her fate in that cup.
James and Sirius were both chattering
excitedly about wondering which animal they'll turn into. Adele was talking to
Remus about something, but Lily decided it couldn't be too important. The
redhead sighed at her friend. Adele will definitely will NOT be too please
about this.
Adele saw Lily staring mournfully at the
goblet as if someone had just died.
'Lily, just take that glass!' Adele urged.
'I was thinking how will this taste like.
Maybe like a cupful of worms? Or maybe crawling spiders? I say, imagine that
tingling feeling down your throat if a spider or worm or rat is in it!
Must be pretty fine, eh James?' Sirius said loudly to James, so that Lily could
hear that pretty well. Lily shuddered. She hate rats.
'Well it might taste like a gobletful of
flobberworms. Suppose we turn into flobberworms?' James said in the equally
loud voice. Lily shivered. Anything has got to be better than a flobberworm.
'It certainly has more life than a talking
tree, don't you think?' Sirius said.
'Forget those idiots, Lily. Go ahead and
take it!' Remus said, seeing his younger frienc's nervousness. Lily gulped
uncertainly.
'N-no! er, why don't you two drink it
first?' Lily said nervously to James and Sirius. They grinned at each other.
'I have suddenly acquired top Divination
skills and decided that I will turn into a dog, a grim,' Sirius said. 'And
Jimmy will be a deer – a stag.'
'Drink it!' Lily said.
'Aww… scaredy itsy bitsy teeny weeny lil'
Lily is afraid!' James cooed. Lily cheeks burned.
'Am not!!! You take care I don't electrify
you!!! And if you're so brave, why not you do it?' Lily shot impatiently.
'Lily, Lily, Lily… see, we're too high
ranked for this,' Sirius said.
'Oh?'
'Yep! So we'd decided who'll be out dear,
faithful guineapig!' James said, his brown eyes glinting mischievously.
'Whom?'
'YOU!!!'
'No! Get it out! I read-' Lily's yelled was
hushed down franticly. The gang stayed silent for a few minutes, wondering if
McGonagall, Filch or some other elders will stomp into the room, yelling at
them for staying up until four in the morning for a really unconditional drink
of purple goo to make them sleep.
No one came.
'C'mon here, Adele, give us a hand in this,
would you?' Sirius said, rolling up his long sleeves. Adele went over eagerly,
glad at the prospect of forcing the gobletful og purple goo down Lily's throat.
'Hey, I want the cup,' Adele said, when she
saw the little panda carvings.
That was pretty short. In less than 0.1
second, Adele Varens was grabbed by both boys as a subject to their experiment.
Remus had somehow appeared behind her. He pulled her jaw open and Lily drowned
her with the goblet Adele had just said she wanted. Adele's dark violet eyes widen
considerably in fear and the icy-flaming taste tingled her taste buds. They
tilted her head so that the goo flowed right down her throat smoothly.
'Yech!!!!' Adele yelped, when they released
her once the purple thing had gone down. 'What in the name of heavens are you
doing to me???'
'You wanted to be an animagus, right?' Lily
asked, smiling sweetly a smile people usually couldn't resist.
'Well here's your chance!' Remus beamed.
James checked his watch.
'In 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Now!' he cried.
Adele, who still hadn't recovered from the
shock they had given her, found her skin burning painfully under the flesh. Her
hairs all stood up in place and in a flash, Adele had disappeared.
'Aah…' Sirius said in concern.
'Er…' James agreed.
'Oh, my…' Remus whispered.
'Dear me!' Lily gasped.
It blinked at them furiously in surprise.
And, when things dawned, it glared. Spitefully. It lurched its small body on
Sirius and its sharp teeth (no one could place how this one has teeth) sunk
neatly into Sirius's flesh, passing his thick cloak and thin black robes in
process. Sirius bit his lips to try his best to refrain from yelling. He turned
blue in face. His black pupils contracted. And…
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Sirius
yelled, shaking his arms franticly from the clinging Adele. The little animal
fell heavily onto the hard stone floor and it whimpered a little. Its furry paw
reached to its head and rubbed the bruised part. Adele growled menacingly at
Sirius, who backed away in fear.
'Uh, hey pal… slow it… I'm sorry…' Sirius
stammered nervously.
'Here, Adele. Come here,' Lily said, slowly
reaching her hand out to the furry thing. Adele ran towards Lily and gave
Sirius a menacing glare.
'D'you think she can change back?' James
asked. In a tiny "pop", the small girl was back in her place in Lily's arms.
She turned angrily towards Sirius.
'Lily! Lemme go! Lemme get at Sirius! Lemme
kill him!!!' Adele said, scratching like a cat as she stomped towards Sirius.
'I didn't stop you,' Lily said in amusement.
'Oh. Yeah. Sirius Orion Black,
DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Adele yelled, pointing an accusing finger at the
boy, who was looking around the narrow old classroom for a place to hide in.
However, Adele was much quicker. Her Black Arts were so refined that, before he
had a chance to run behind Remus and James, he got Adele's taste of powers.
Sirius was electrocuted.
'Yow,' James whistled. 'Never estimate those
girls.' Sirius coughed some black smoke that seemed to burn in him in
agreement.
'Yep!!' Adele said, rubbing her forehead
where the small triangle marking sat. It was burning a little, probably because
she used too much voltage in the attack. 'And I'm an animagus!! Woohoo!!! I am,
I am!!!! Walaa!!!! Hurray!!! But- but Lily! You can't turn into one now! And
say—'
'Oh, we planned this ages ago. I had an
extra goblet ready,' Lily said dismissively, pulling a lavender coloured goblet
from the table's desk. This one was decorated with studded rubies and the carving
of a floating dragon or snake. Adele couldn't make it out, with the distance
before her.
'NOW!' James yelled, lurching forward. Remus
and Adele instinctively puched the goblet from Lily's hands and tipped the goo into
Lily's shocked mouth, which, in case you don't know, is in a shape of an O.
Sirius and James drowned their throat with the disgusting-looking,
bubbly-sizzling, purple goo.
The same process Adele went through a while
ago began again and things immediately looked weird for Lily. She felt that her
eyes could look in nearly 360°, like a bird's, but she had the ability of human eye, too. And she had
a feeling that her legs weren't in existance, though. She could hear Adele
gasping in pride and felt Remus's stare of awe. Only one question played in her
mind at that moment: What had she turned in to?
Lily looked around her. In James and
Sirius's place was a large antlered deer. A stag, just as Sirius had predicted.
Next to that magnificent creature was a large, shaggy dog. A grim. So, Sirius's
predictions came true, Lily told herself in wonder. Sirius's predictions rarely
came true.
'Lily… Lily, it's fabulous! You're
fabouls!!!' Adele gasped. Lily felt like talking but, but couldn't find her
voice. She glared angrily at herself. For a genius 15-year-old witch who was a
Psychic, a Seer and a reincarnation, if she couldn't get back her form, what
will she be? Some stupid creature who couldn't talk.
Her body shivered a little, before the faint
"pop" popped. Lily stood on her feet, shaking slightly.
'Nice… I now know a panda, a doe, a stag,
and a dog,' Remus said in amusement, grinning broadly over his oval face.
'What's so fabulous about a doe then, if I
am one?' Lily asked blankly. It seemed quite common to her. But remembering she
hadn't had any feet when she had turned into that unknown creature, she
dismissed that Remus was just joking.
'Lily don't TRUST him! Tell me now,
truthfully, what did I turn in to?' Adele asked.
'A panda. What about me?'
'Gee,
James and you get along boo-tee-pull-lee now,' Sirius said mischievously. James
resumed his form.
'Shut up, Sirius! Lily isn't any common doe!
Couldn't find one nearby! She's a water dragon!' James snapped. Lily gasped.
Sirius and Remus gave him a look which clearly says "We need fun, Potter! So
give us some and don't spoil 'em!" and Adele beamed.
'I am? Which?' Lily said in daze.
'A dragani! Oh and you were marvellous!'
Adele said in admiration.
'How do I look like?' Lily asked.
'Like a dragani.'
'Yes, but I'm not any dictionary, you know.
I'm merely a tape recorder,' Lily said irritably. 'So how do I look like?
Nice?'
'Horrid,' Sirius said.
'Yuck,' James added.
'Ugly,' Remus concluded.
Adele sighed.
'The best thing, I think, is to transform in
front of a mirror and see it for real. What sort of panda am I? And I hadn't
murdered you all yet for giving me such a shock of my life!' Adele said.
'We planned that for ages already,' Remus
said.
'And you were a china panda,' James said.
'Dream on about killing us, lady,' Lily
waved.
'Huh?' Sirius said blankly, stupidly
grinning at her.
'You are all hopeless, hopeless,
hopeless!!!!' Adele wailed.
The four friends left Adele to wail for
herself.
'What do you mean you couldn't "find one
nearby"? Surely- Surely that hasn't got to do with the animal I turned in to!'
Lily said.
'Well, yes… We just took a tiny part of the
animal – fur or hair or maybe a tear or two – and we're supposed to mix it in
the potion,' Sirius said, scratching his hair.
'What?!'
'We had a panda, a stag, a dog and a
dragani. We jumbled up those goblets and took them randomly,' James explained.
'Guess you got that dragani, huh? I thought Adele was getting it.'
**
'Okay, transform!' Lily called loudly. Adele
sighed and clucked her tongue loudly, refraining from laughter at the same
time. Lily looked funny, doing those weird poses to get herself transform into
the Dragani.
'Lily, Lily, Lily. How many times must I say
already, Lily, you have to concentrate!!!' Adele said. 'That's the
keyword, Li, concentrate!' Lily nodded, closed her eyes and meditated
for a while. She reopened them again, held her right hand above her head in a
very fashionable pose and…
'What?' Lily exclaimed. 'I didn't know that
my hair grew half an inch longer! It'll be on the ground soon if my height
don't shoot fast enough!' the girl said.
'Lily!!!'
'Okay, okay!'
Pop!! Lily stared blankly at the full-length
mirror. Her usual reflection of dark red hair, tanned complexion and deep jade
green eyes were gone. They were replaced by a very different form that is a
stranger to her.
Lily's ears (as she'd seen it transform) had
turned itself into fairly small wings, attached to her now skyblue head. Her
almond shape eyes turned into large round ones. Her head was shaped into a
not-too-small-but-fairly-moderate one. Her body (or was it her neck? Lily
wasn't quite sure) and legs were formed into a long, snake-like, blue body of
the creature. A small silver bell hung just under her dainty chin and a tiny
horn was fairly visible on the head. The only thing Lily recognized from her
former human-self was her green eyes. It really stood out from the rest of her.
The Dragani isn't really that beautiful but it was mystical and very magical to
look at.
'Wow…' Lily said, looking at herself in the
mirror. But instead of her voice, she heard a tinkling song from the echoes of
the fairy bells across the mountains.
'Nice voice,' Adele said approvingly.
Pop!! And Lily was back. She sat down on the
nearby sofa.
'Wow!!! Never had I imagined I'll turn into
a dragani!!! Or that James and Sirius ever found this creature!' Lily said,
flushing in excitement.
'Found?' Adele repeated in puzzlement.
'Oh, nothing of importance. Your turn now,
Adele,' Lily said.
'Alright, Tinkle!' Adele said.
'Tinkle??'
'I like that tinkle your voice made! It's
beautiful, don't you think?'
'Well, I guess so…'
Pop!! Adele disappeared, leaving a small,
dwarf-sized panda sitting on the floor. On its forehead was a tiny triangle
marking which usually dwells on Adele's forehead, though almost invisible as it
is almost covered by her black fringe. The small black and white animal climbed
onto Lily's lap and stared at Lily out of its dark, violet eyes. Lily hugged
the furry animal.
'Mmm… you're like my old Teddy!' Lily said.
Adele squeezed away from Lily's death grip – no, it's hug – and with a small
pop, resumed her form, choking for dear breath.
'Lily… do NOT kill me!' Adele stammered.
'Sorry, but you remind me so much of my old
Teddy!' Lily whined.
Adele was about to think of a smart reply
when the hole burst open rather violently. The girls backed away in fear and
reached out for their wands. The first person entered. Then another, and
another, and another… millions of them entered, all bearing resemblance to
James, Sirius and Remus.
'What-???'
'Surprise!!!' All of them yelled. One of the
Sirius closed the mirror hole. The boys all turned to the two girls and started
pulling faces at them. Just when Adele and Lily were about to try a hex on each
and every one of them, they all faded, leaving only three, who grinned broadly
at the girls.
'How d'you like that?' Remus asked.
'What happened?' Lily asked in confusion.
'More of what spell that is,' Adele said. 'I
never seen anything like that before.'
'I did it!!! Haha! I did it!!!' Sirius
grinned, jumping around stupidly. Remus laughed.
'Cut it out, Padfoot, Jimmy did it,' Remus
said.
'Padfoot?' the girls echoed.
'That's me!!!! Jimmy's Prongs, and
Wolf-Boy's Moony! At your service, beautiful ladies,' Sirius said, bowing low
before them.
'Beautiful? Sirius, you're out of your
mind!' Lily laughed. 'Anyway, you could do to get me a glass of water for your
service. I'm thirsty.'
'I don't mean THAT service,' Sirius said
sourly.
'What's with those names?' Adele asked
blankly.
'You can choose your own name, if you want
to,' James said.
'Or get stuck with our death names!' Remus
said maliciously.
'I'm choosing for Flower girl, too, then. Me
Teddy, Lily Tinkle,' Adele said earnestly. She seemed quite enthusiastic about
this name-thingy.
'Tinkle?' they echoed.
'You should hear her voice!!! It's nice!
Like tinkle!'
'You don't mean Tinkerbell, do you?' Sirius
said.
'I'm not that stupid fairy from Peter Pan!'
Lily retorted.
'Turn into that dragani again. The dragani
we found was dead, and we took its bell, since it was tied around its neck,'
James said. Lily obediently turned into her animagi form.
'Hmm…' Remus said, circling Lily the
Dragani.
'I propose Super Duper Gravity Defying
Animal,' Sirius said smartly, mainly to the fact that Lily was hovering above
the ground. That, Adele suspected, might be because of Lily's Psychic powers
are too much or too high for the original capacity the water dragon usually
holds. That would be the most probable reason (to Adele) to why Lily turned
into a dragani, too.
'Yech, no!!!!' Lily yelled. That, of course,
ended up with her bell's soft tinkling.
'She said "Yech, no!" to the proposal,
Padfoot,' James said.
'Tell that I'd choose the name Tinkerbell,
if that's my very last resort,' Lily said with sarcasticness to James. James
gave her an evil grin.
'She said Tinkerbell, guys,' James said,
looking at Lily smugly.
'No, you indespicable moron!!' Lily scowled.
Too late. Remus and Sirius were now writing
the names on a piece of parchment, where Adele's name – Teddy – was just above
hers, followed by Moon, Padfoot and Prongs. Instinctively Lily knew that she was
now blessed with the name Tinkerbell in this form.
AN: Trust me, I
do believe 50-50 that they turn into animagi because of a part of the animal [I
don't care what the book says!!!!] and the other belongs to the capacity
someone has. It's just a little hard to explain :P anywayz, yes, I KNOW that
Draganis don't exactly exist in this world of Harry Potter. But they can be
extinct, right? Or maybe Newt Scamander [weird name. Interesting one, though]
just left it out. Whatever it is, I'm sure you won't kill me for it, will you?
Yes, thanks, I'm really really tired at the moment *sigh*
Oh, just thought I'd share something with you
^^ my friend and I were at this lecture-thingy about being happy [?! Whatever
it is, my friend told me that I'm too happy to be even happier] and girls from
other convent schools were there. Seeing as my school has the most crowds, we
filled the balcony around the hall. My friend and I were staring blankly at the
students below when an evil plan [well, not really] crept into our minds and we
thought we'd play a joke on the lucky ones below [they got cushion seats and we're
jealous :P]. Every five minutes, we'll tip over a small portion of water at the
girls below, hoping that it'll hit all of them, making them think that the ceiling
is holed. We did so. The last time we tipped the bottle of water over was when a
girl was staring at the ceiling, rubbing her eyes. The water went right into her
eye.
Not a
really funny incident, but interesting, all the same. Just hope I'm not making a
stand-alone conversation here. There're a couple more funny things but I can't spend
time typing them all up!!
I won't write anymore
now and save your eyes some trouble. Review, please!! Ta, minna-chan!
