THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO REVIEWED! You know I love you right? Well, if you didn't then now you do. Lupus Argenteus Noctus, Betta-in-Blue, querty...I LOVE YOU GUYS!
The first thing Lily noticed when she came to, was that she felt like she was moving in molasses. Professor Dumbledore had warned them that it would feel odd...he hadn't warned them that it would hurt like a good junk shot to a guy. She was going to have to ask him about that. Standing up and surveying her surroundings, Lily noticed that she was in the Head Girl's Dormitory. Now, as to how she'd gotten there and exactly why she'd wound up there, she had no idea. However, it was plain enough that this was where she was. Lily walked to the door of the dormitory and opened it, walking out and down the stairs. She saw a similar scene as those watching her must have seen when she came down, as she watched James, Mirel, and Willow stumble down the stairs and fall onto the couches.
Remus and Sirius were beside their friends in an instant, both of them begging the four to forgive them. Lily, Mirel, Willow and James, however, were too dazed and felt too drugged to say anything about it. Lily looked up into Remus' worried, soft brown eyes for a few seconds before he and Sirius left her and James to themselves to go to their girlfriends, both of which seemed to be experiencing much more complicated side-effects of the power that was being sent into them from the woods and the castle...for indeed, that was the source of the power. Lily and James lay in each other's arms silently for what felt like hours, but was merely five minutes...and then everything went black.
The next day, the drugged feeling was gone, replaced by the feeling that moving the world was possible, so great was the power. All of it, however, threatened to leave her at the slightest misuse, if only for a while. Lily rose and dressed herself calmly, brushing her hair back into its normal ponytail before moving to the door of her dormitory. She reached for the knob, but the door opened before she could touch it, seemingly of its own will. Lily arched an eyebrow and walked out, turning to test her new powers. Sure enough, the door closed calmly and quietly on its own...but the power was still there. Why it hadn't gone, Lily didn't know, but she wasn't one to test fate. In fact, she was quite happy to let her new magickal abilities do her work for her.
Of course, she still had to use her brain, which expanded her knowledge of magick and its uses even more, but she had an extra bonus of not even having to hold her wand in her hand to perform the magick. She'd just use her mind to levitate the wand and perform the swish and flick move that the Charms teacher had taught, then she'd say the spell. Now, Professor Dumbledore had said the night before, before he started the transfer of energy, that they should not test the limits of their magick until it was needed. Lily, however, couldn't help it. That night, she, James, Mirel, and Willow all met under James' invisibility cloak to attempt to shift into their Griffen forms.
James went first, and if he'd had too much pain or been unable to shift, none of the others would even attempt it. However, when the time came, he'd just felt odd, and he gave Lily- who was shifting next- The go ahead. It was like nothing Lily had ever felt before, even when she'd shifted into her tiger form (Which James STILL didn't know about.) First she felt her legs growing swiftly shorter and stronger, then she could no longer stand on them alone, so she fell forward onto hands that were already forming claws of their own. Eagle's claws. She then felt a weird protruding of her nose and chin as a beak formed itself, which was followed by a sensation of being sprayed by water as her neck and head sprouted hair, and her body was covered in lion's hair. Her back legs were Lion's claws and she felt a weird jolt as not one, but four whip-like tails sprouted from her hind end.
Then came the wings. The main, flying pair exploded from her back first in a shower of bloody film, then the second pair, the cargo pair, that would help her carry heavier loads for further distances without having to use her claws. She turned her head, aware of every sight, sound, and smell of the forest around them. She knew when an ant scurried up a blade of grass in search of food, she could hear the breathing of a centaur, to the left of them, and she could smell the pack of wolves surrounding them in hopes of ending their famine and taking some food. Lily turned and quickly motioned for Mirel and Willow to shift, and they did. Then the Centaurs burst from the surrounding forest to surround the pride of Griffens. There was a herd of about twenty huge males, all with spears pointed towards the four great beasts. Lily studied the centaurs and let out a soft cry in her throat, a cry that only the Griffens understood. The other three looked at the girl, then they folded their wings delicately over their backs...James was the only other Griffen with two sets, and he and Lily folded them both over their backs, and under their soft bellies, serving a double purpose- one was to protect their soft, vulnerable bellies, and the other to keep them out of the way. The lead centaur jabbed Lily with his spear and the group moved off, oblivious to an older set of Griffen eyes watching the whole process.
Stardust's Ramblings: Well, that's it, another chapter up. Sorry for taking so long on Chapter Two! You know I love you all and stuff but yeah. I'm writing a book on the sidelines that I may start posting on here but it's not about HP (No shit, I'm not in the mood to be sued.) No, it's a sci-fi about an elf, a druid, and a human. You'll see, if I ever get it up. Do tell whether or not you want it up, kay? Kay.
