An: Here it is.. the one… the only… SECOND CHAPTER OF LITTLE EAGLE!

Little Eagle

"Guys," Lily said, stepping in front of them in the corridor. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have over reacted like that. And I shouldn't have taken the Cloak."

"It's okay Lily," James nodded, as she passed him the cloak.

"Yeah. We got a detention out of it." Sirius grinned. "Only ninety-eight to go until I break the record."

"What are you sorry for?" Peter asked.

"It's nothing Peter." Remus said.

"To make it up to you, could I humiliate Snape tomorrow evening?" Lily asked, praying for a yes.

"Yeah. We'll go tom-" Sirius started,

"No. I want to do this one alone. As a surprise for you in the morning." Lily smiled.

"Okay." Remus nodded, and poked James and Sirius.

"Fine." James smiled, and Sirius nodded his head.

"Why can't we come?" Peter whined.

"I'll need the cloak and the map," Lily said, ignoring Peter.

"It's not a full moon." Remus said, "So that shouldn't be a problem."

"I've got to do some research," Lily said, "I'll be down for lunch!"

Lily ran up to her room and pulled out a transfiguration book. She flipped through it until she found the spell she needed.

"Now, what to do…" She pursed her lips, "Ah ha! I know. Perfect. And if I do most of it now, it'll take only a few minutes, so I can spend the rest of the night looking for that potion." Lily preformed the spell on her handkerchief and then shrunk the results. Slipping it in her pocket she pulled out another book - on animagi.

"Hey guys!" Lily sat down next to James at the crowded table, "Change of plan. I'm doing it tonight!"

"Okay." James agreed, thinking of the upcoming quidditch match against Ravenclaw. Granted, it was three months away, but he needed to be prepared.

"So, whatcha gonna do?" Sirius asked.

"Not telling!" Lily poked her tongue out at him, "It's a surprise!"

Late that night Lily opened the door to the sixth year boy's dorm.

"Here you go." James pressed the cloak and map into her hand. "Luck."

"Thanks." Lily smiled, and slipped the cloak over her head. She slipped down the stairs and opened the portrait door.

"It's one of you, isn't it?" The fat Lady said disapprovingly. Lily said nothing and walked quickly down to the Slytherin common room. She entered went into Snape's dorm, and pulled out the minierized preperpared prank. She enlarged it, then transfigured it to look like one of Snapes robes. She hung it in the wardrobe, and slipped out again.

"Where would they hide it?" She asked herself.

In a secret passage?

Yes. Lily thanked herself, and hurried off to check all the secret passages.

"Nothing." She said sadly.

Have you tried them all?

Yes…. But… the shack! Lily ran out of the building and towards the whomping willow. She enlarged her wand into a long, long stick, and poked the tree knot. Lily slipped into the tree, and ran along the passageway, into the shrieking shack.

"I'll check the furniture." She said, and checked the torn up couch, armchair and footrest in the living room. "Poor Remus." Lily sighed, and started on the bed. When she slipped a hand under the mattress, she felt something smooth and hard. Pulling it out, she saw it was a bottle.

"Yes!" Lily smiled triumphantly. She pulled the animagi book out of her robes, and set about preparing the safeguards.

"Finally!" Lily smiled, about two hours later. The safeguards were finished, and all she had to do now was drink the potion. She lifted it to her lips, and poured it down her throat.

Agony. Pain. Lily groaned, and then suddenly she wasn't their. She had changed. Lily changed back again, almost instantly.

"What was I?" She asked herself, then spotted a mirror hanging on the wall. She lifted it down, and set it against the wall. "I hope it doesn't hurt as much this time." She whispered, then willed herself to change.

She changed. Lily waddled over to the mirror and look in.

Wow.

Lily was an eagle. She had a golden head, a white stomach and a brown back.

A little eagle. Lily identified herself. She had loved birds of prey when she had been little, and eagle's especially. Some of her favorites had been the white-breasted sea eagle, the osprey, the black breasted buzzard… and the Little Eagle.

Well, I hope you like. Cause I'm going to save this, get off, and do some cooking (oh joy!)… And I'll post this sometime this arvo.
