Part sixteen:
The door to Sev's room burst open. He didn't see anyone at first but there was a slight rippling effect as Harry threw off his invisibility cloak. Sev was greeted with the site of a very happy Animagus.
"I did it." He squealed in joy. Sev pulled the other boy into his arms and gave him a tight embrace.
"I knew you could do it me love." He whispered. "So what animal did you become?"
"I am a stag." Harry replied slightly unhappily.
"What is wrong?" Sev asked gently.
"I don't know." He murmured, "I feel like I should have been something else. Something useful, something fierce." Sev smiled slightly.
"Like a lion." Harry nodded as he remembered his vision. "Well you are the heir of Gryffindor are you not? Try and change into one."
"But you only get one form. Why would I be any different?"
"The heirs are different." Sev whispered, "Voldemort has two forms." At the mention of Voldemort his arms involuntarily tightened around Harry. Harry laid his head against Sev's shoulder.
"What animal did you see?" Harry asked his love. Sev smiled slightly.
"I will be a."

"Potter." Blaise snarled. And Jamie took a step back. He had never been faced with such unbridled hatred before.
"Whoa, Zabini. You wake up on the wrong side of bed this morning.
"No, but that is not something you will never have to worry about. I'll make sure you never wake up ever again." James looked wildly at the boy in front of him. "Avad.
Zabini never had a chance to utter the ending of the terrible curse. A lightning fast black animal barrelled into him. James stumbled and fell against the wall. Watching the scene in front of him. On the ground lay the person the tried to kill him and top of Zabini sat a beautiful black panther. Zabini tried to move but the animal on his chest snapped his jaws perilously close to the boy's throat. The warning was as clear as day. 'If you move, I will rip out your throat.' The panther turned it's obsidian eyes onto he petrified form of James potter. And jerked its head in the direction of the Headmasters office. James got to his feet unsteadily, understanding perfectly what the animal wanted. He rushed off to get the headmaster.

A majestic lion was parading around Severus's small room. He let out a small growl of triumph. The growl was mirrored by that of a sleek Panther.
Harry watched his soulmate place about the room in his new form. He swore that he could almost see him smirking.
The panther stood up on its hind legs and morphed into his human form. Sev grinned at Harry. A black panther, it was perfect. Everything he could have wished for in an Animagus form. A couple of minutes later a slightly dishevelled Harry was also grinning.
"Sev it was amazing, it was better than when I became stag. This just feels so right." Sev pulled Harry into his arms and kissed him gently. "We need to think up an Animagus names for you" Harry whispered.
"And one for you. You can't go by Prongs in both of your forms you know." Harry giggled slightly.
"Yeh your right but lets think of yours first. Well you are a black panther. A stealthy, cunning animal. That can blend in with the 'shadows'." Harry had an odd glint in his eyes. "MMM that might do."
"Harry, what are you thinking?" looking at his soulmate suspiciously. Harry smirked slightly.
"Don't worry it is nothing bad." He gave him a quick kiss. "Just that Shadow would be a great name for you." Sev grinned.
"Ok, I could get used to that. Now it's your turn." Sev tilted his head to one side "Now what name could I pick that would drive you insane. MMM. Well there is Leo but that is so cliché." Sev scratched his chin and then grinned broadly. "How's about Lightning." Harry's smile mirrored the one that Sev was wearing.
"You failed." Harry said smirking.
"What do you mean?"
"Lightning wouldn't drive me insane; in fact I think it is perfect." With that he pulled his love into a mind blowing kiss.
