After several minutes of trying to coax the entire story out of Hermione, she finally told them how much longer it would be until the potion would be ready. In fact, all it needed were two more ingredients. For the potion to work, it needed a piece of hair from the people that were to become animagi, and a picture of the animal they wanted to become. Simple as it seemed, the hardest task for Harry, Ron, and Hermione, was deciding which animals they wanted to be. They all agreed that it would be useful if one of them could fly. Hermione finally took that role by deciding to become a robin. A common creature that people would not easily take notice of, but, had the ability to fly and listen in on conversations. Ron on the other hand decided to become a dog, like Sirius, this would be useful because seeing two dogs together would not be totally out of the ordinary. For Harry, the decision was easy, he wanted to become a stag, like his father, Harry would become the noble Prongs, in honor of his father.
Late that night, Harry, Ron and Hermione, sat awaiting midnight, amidst Ron's Chudley Cannons décor. After sending an owl to Dumbledore that they had made their decisions (but not telling him what they were), Hermione reached into her trunk and removed three beakers of sparkling, orange liquid. When the clock struck midnight each of them removed a piece of hair.
"I think it would be best if I try this stuff first," said Hermione.
Ron and Harry had no objection to that. Hermione dropped a piece of her curly brown hair into the bubbling orange liquid. Next, she placed a picture of a common robin into the beaker. It melted instantly and turned the goo into a deep shade of sapphire.
"Actually, lets all drink at the same time, just in case.."
Hesitantly, they agreed. Harry dropped in a piece of his hair, and Ron a piece of his fiery red hair. When Ron dropped in a picture of a dog, the liquid turned jet black. Harry dropped in a picture of prongs and the liquid went iridescent color, like bubble bath. Now all three of the potions were complete. On the count of three they decided to gulp the potions down.
Hermione counted"…ONE….TWO…THREE…" The beakers tipped upwards as Harry, Ron and Hermione drank every drop of it.
