Harry felt himself break out in a sweat as he looked into the mirror where he saw himself as a huge black lion with a stormy grey mane and startling green eyes. The others looked in shock as the lion looked around him.
Harry was consumed in his joy of the power inside of him as his paw had enough force to hit a woman or man unconscious with one swipe. His senses were going all over the place as he smelt the air and everything surrounding him, smells coming to his nose that he had never smelt before. The ears hidden by the dark raven black mane could now hear the slightest and smallest sound like a pin drop in the hall in front of the hospital wing. The power seemed to run threw every vein in his body as he stretched his body and walked to the chair hidden by the dark. The weirdness of changing back to his human form made him gasp, as the power seemed to vanish into a corner of his brain.
"Wow!" Harry spluttered looking down at his hairless human hands.
"What's it like?" Ron asked breaking the awkward silence letting his curiosity over take him moving of the bed.
"Amazing!" Harry said quietly looking through the darkness at Ron whose face was shining with excitement.
"Well here goes nothing." Ron said as he transformed with a small pop into another animal.
The others looked at the spot where Ron had been and instead of Ron there was a large fiery red chestnut stallion with his head held up high. The Stallion brought it's head around at checked it self out. Ron stared at himself in the mirror with some of the light of one candle stood a chestnut stallion with muscles rippling with every step he took. His head was slightly dished giving the affect of him being an Arab with a beautiful red flowing tail. His hindquarters felt powerful as he lifted one up, they were fine and skinny but yet more powerful than steel spring. The feeling was amazing as Ron reared up on his hindquarters feeling the speed and strength in his movements were just beyond anything he had ever felt before. He snorted in a low rumbling sound as he put his front legs back on the ground. The power seemed to ripple through every single muscle in his new body. His senses went on high as he heard someone move in the next room. He could smell the confidence in Harry and the uncertainty in the marauders and Lily. Ron walked quietly over to the bed and transformed back. Scratching his head he felt the power go away in a flash to a corner somewhere in his body.
"Wow. Are you an animagus Lily?" Ron asked sitting back on the bed.
"No but I might try now." Lily said her thoughts going around in circles as she looked at the notes. As Harry and Ron had said it seemed very easy. After a couple of minutes She realised that she was ready.
Lily took one final look at the notes before she transformed. Her transformation was quick as she looked at the mirror she saw a beautiful sleek black jaguar stalking up to the mirror its green eyes twinkling as she vanished in the darkness. The boys watched silently as she appeared. Her eyes twinkling mischievously as she stalked up to James, Remus and Sirius who shivered as she curled her tail around their necks. Lily purred to herself as she looked at the retractable claws that were sharp as daggers.
"Nice Lils." Remus said as she transformed back to her human form.
"Yeah. I could feel the power, speed and all that in every single step I took!" She said breathlessly "We better go now." She said looking at the door.
"Yeah see ya later." Harry said distantly.
"Remus will we be able to come with youse on full moons?" Ron asked as he went to leave.
"Sure." The four vanished suddenly under the cloak before walking into the dark corridor.
"How long until next full moon?" Ron asked watching the door as Harry climbed back into his bed.
"Mmh well today is Friday so on tomorrow night. Think we should tell Sims and Proney?" Harry asked running his fingers gently over the scar again.
"Probably, they won't be mad so night."
"Night." Harry replied before going into a dreamless sleep.

Harry yawned as they walked down the corridor towards the noisy Great Hall. The Hall seemed to be filled with a heard of elephants or a bomb of voices being set off, as the noise coming from the Hall was very loud. Harry sighed deeply as they pulled open the heavy doors. All of the sudden the Hall went quiet as a million eyes looked over to James and Sirius while Harry and Ron walked over to the Gryffindor table.
"Oh god." Ron muttered as the eyes turned back to them while they started eating. Ron had never seen such students in total awkward silence excepted when Cedric Diggory. The eyes stared intently down at their backs making them feel more uncomfortable as ever. Dumbledore suddenly broke the awkward silence.
"Students I have great pleasure in saying there will be a dance tonight so you can go to Hogsmead today if you wish but the dance is strictly formal." He announced as the quiet Hall suddenly exploded with people talking about the ball.
"Well we know we won't be missing much then." Harry said happily Balls and Dances really weren't his thing.
"Yeah. So what do you wanna do?" Ron asked shovelling in a piece of toast into his mouth.
"Well we have to talk to Sims and Proney so better get that over and done with first." Harry said getting up.
"Yeah." Ron sighed as they walked out of the Hall and up to Sims and Proneys' rooms.
As they knocked on the doors two heads poked out of the doors.
"Hi Harry, Ron." Sirius said happily.
"Hey." Harry said as they all went into Sirius's room, which was a total mess. Sirius had his stuff spread out over everything and lying on his desk was one of the marauder maps. Harry eyed the map weirdly, Sirius seemed to see this as he started covering it up.
"Well yes we were watching youse last night." He sighed as Harry snatched the map.
"Well that's kinda what we wanted to talk to you about." Harry said sitting down on the floor as he couldn't see any chairs in the room or they were hidden deep down under the mountains of mess.
"Yes you had four visitors last night didn't you." Sirius bragged.
"Yes but does the map say whether one is an animagus or not?" Ron said smugly as Sirius looked astonished at them while Remus just smiled at them.
"You didn't did you?" Sirius said his jaw dropping what felt the length of Mount Everest as the two boys nodded their heads. "What are youse?" He asked as they both transformed into the stormy black and grey lion and the fiery red chestnut stallion.
"Woah!" Sirius exclaimed as they changed back.
"Your illegal then." Remus said quietly as the three looked sheepishly down at the ground.
"Yeah we know." Sirius said quietly.
"I didn't mean you Sirius." Remus said sarcastically
"Well we know to." Harry said sheepishly looking up a bit.
"Well, well, well." Remus said repeatedly.
"Remus did you ever notice that you say 'Well' a lot?" Sirius joked breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Well Sirius I never would of. .Well noticed." Remus replied a smile playing on his lips as Harry and Ron started cracking up with Sirius poking his tongue out in mock menace.
"Well you should try and register when we get back to our own time." Remus said pacing the room.
"When will that happen exactly?" Ron asked nervously.
"When you tap your heels three times and say ' There's no place like home!' okay. " Sirius squealed transfiguring two apples into a pair of bright glittering, red high heels and passing them to Ron. Harry and Remus bursted with laughter as Ron looked at them in confusion.
"It's a muggle movie thing." Harry choked out before laughing again.
"Oh." Ron said slowly looking at the three maniac looking wizards. "So how will we be getting back, seriously?" Remus stopped laughing and looked around the room in great though waiting for the others to stop laughing.
"Well I don't really know. We'll have to look it up and figure it out then."
"Oh. Well I'm going to lunch see ya later. You coming Harry?" Ron said walking up to the door.
"Yeah I'll see ya later." Harry said as he walked out the door.
"Bye." Came two replies.

"Hey are you sure about letting them come?" James asked nervously that afternoon from his seat in the common room.
"Yes James I'm sure about letting Harry Potter come." Remus said through clenched teeth. "Oh I mean Harry Cerin." He added looking at the appalled look on James's face.
"Now that was an insult Moons." James joked.
"Funny James. Now we need to make another map or at least tell Peter." Remus said sternly.
"Okay let's see tell a lunatic something that might upset him or make another map. Well personally if Peters gone loony I don't think I'll tell him about it and instead just make another map." Sirius said his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Yeah agreed!" said James nodding his head.
"Right well lets get started. We've done it before so it should be easier this time! Right James, Sirius?"
"Yes, hey James where's Lily?" Sirius said slyly looking at his friend.
"Lunch." Said James absent-mindedly looking out the window.
"Well how about we join her?" Remus asked putting the notes in the front of his robe pocket.
"Sure I'm hungry." James said oblivious to his friends astonished looks.
~
As they were walking down to lunch James, Remus and Sirius heard two voices in talking in a corner of the corridor that made them stop in their tracks.
"Hell this sucks!" One of them cursed.
"Shut up Pad. We have to find more out about it-" A second voice said sternly.
"Still we have to see ourselves go through it again!" the first voice whined.
"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow is a full moon! I don't have the damn potion!" the second voice said anxiously.
"Well you could go back to the shrieking shack?" the first voice whispered.
"What about my other self? He'll be there too, with James and your own younger self!" voice 2 said.
"Yeah but Remus you can't stay in the castle. What about the Forbidden Forest?" voice number 1 suggested. James glanced to the side as he brought out the I. Cloak as he flung it over Remus, Sirius and himself as they crept silently up to the voices.
"But what if someone else goes down there Siri?" the second voice said urgently.
"Okay Remus those names suck so just call by first." The three marauders' jaws dropped as they went into the corner and saw Professor Proney and Sims standing there. James felt his jaw drop even more as he saw Sims pulling out the Marauders map from his robes.
"Whatever Sirius but if we get caught can you imagine what could happen?" Proney said throwing up his hand in mock dismay.
"Come of it you sound like Harry's friend Hermione. I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." Sims said in a mock British nobleman's tone.
"Oh crap!" James muttered to himself as the lines of ink sprawled out across the parchment. Sim's eyes went as big as plates as he looked down at the map.
"Ah Moons we are in deep shit!" He swore looking at the space where James, Sirius and Remus were standing under the I. Cloak.
"Why?" Proney asked his face filled with confusion. The confusion fled from his face to be replaced with shock horror as he looked down at the map.
A/n I'm really sorry that this took so long to put up but I was grounded from the computer and then I had to perfect my room which is as messy as what Sirius's room would be. Trust me the list is long but I want to thank you all for reading this story and hopefully I'll get the next chapter up sooner.
