"Err… Hello Saphira……………………………"
Chapter 2:
"Lupin, Potter." Severus nodded his head to them.
"Ummm, hi, person…who are you?" Loup asked bewildered.
"You fool! I'm only the bestest teacher in all of Hogwarts history!" Snape said in a snobby voice.
"HAHAHAHAHAHH!!! Yeah, your sure the BESTEST teacher…you said a word that doesn't even exist! I mean, YOU IDIOT!" Loup said aloud by mistake.
"WHY YOU LITTLE………." Snape started.
"Severus! SHUT UP! I mean look at this poor little wizard! Please, can you calm down for once in your sad, pathetic, greasy-haired life?" Saphira said.
"Yes ma'am!" Snape said. Snape is older than Saphira but still respects her as if she was his mother.
"Now, Severus, if I hear ONE complaint from Tigra or Loup about you, I will get your hide fire once and for all!" Saphira yelled again.
"Ugh, FINE!" Snape snapped.
"ONE COMPLAINT, SEVERUS! ONE!!!!!!!!!!!" Saphira started getting a tad bit red now.
"Mom, Ummm calm down… People are staring like they did before," Tigra turned around toward them, "AND IF I GET MAD AGAIN, YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN!!" Then everyone in the pub turned back to what they were doing before they started staring. They went to the nearest table and sat. Loup and Tigra felt a little weird, being the only two people in all the Leaky Cauldron with Canadian accents (saying aboot, and eh and all).
Severus decided not to join them and left.
"Hey Remus! Mommy gave me an invisibility cloak!" said Tigra.
"Saphira, YOU HAD AN INVISIBILITY CLOAK?!" Remus asked frantically.
"Err…yes…but no not anymore…its Tigra's now!" Saphira stated smiling, "Your sister also had one too didn't she tell you? Well, I actually don't think so because we wanted to get around Hogwarts after-hours without that retard Filch spotting us all the time and telling Dumbledore. Well, we already thought that Dumbledore knew because he knows everything!"
"No, I didn't know she had one, and HOW COME WE DIDN'T SEE YOU ON THE MARAUDER'S MAP???" Remus asked.
Saphira giggled, "Well, that's a little trick that I'm not gonna tell anyone but Loup and Tigra!"
"Come on Saphira, you can't expect me and Severus to favor Loup and Tigra all the time. That's just not fair. But… if you insist!" Remus said with a smile.
"REMUS LUPIN! I'M ASHAMED OF YOU!! You're blackmailing me."
"Yup!"
"Fine, fine. Well, you know that I and Daphne were in Ravenclaw, so we were the smartest in our year. Well, after you made the Marauder's Map, we charmed it so that when we were in our invisibility cloaks, you couldn't see us. It worked perfectly. We would follow you guys around, in your pranks, into the Shrieking Shack…"
"YOU FOLLOWED US INTO THE SHRIEKINGSHACK. I COULD HAVE KILLED YOU."
"Nope. When James, Sirius, Pettigrew, ::YUCK::, made the Animagus Potion, we took some and became Animagus too. Your sister was a grey wolf, and I was a midnight black, shiny puma."
"WHAT, how could you? That was brilliant. Stupid, yes…but brilliant all the same. How come you never told us about all that?"
"How do you think you would have reacted? Anyways, let's go get our rooms."

A day later…
The five of them, did the weird tapping on the brick wall and went into Diagon Alley. Loup was as surprised as a pig that could fly would be.
They walked through the crowds, and can to Gringotts. Once they left, they headed for Flourish and Blotts for their books, then they went to the Apothecary to get potion supplies. After that, it was onto Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Tigra, Loup, and Harry all needed uniforms. Then, it was for the wand shop. (A/N: not sure of the name.)
Saphira, Tigra, and Loup in, while Harry and Remus waited outside. Saphira walked up to the old rusted counter and rang the bell. An old withered short man came right away.
"Hello, Saphira! Gee, I haven't seen you since you and Daphne came in about twenty years ago! Good, golly gosh! I remember like it was yesterday!! Boy you guys had…" Mr. Ollivander said and was interrupted by Saphira.
"Ummm yeah, I miss you too…. I'm actually here for my daughter and her best friend Loup. They need wand fittings." Saphira glared.
"Ah, yes, Loup! Daphne's son, she named you Loup because she was an Animagus, she turned into a wolf and Loup in French means wolf… Anyway… I'm just rambling on! Don't mind the old bag at the counter… Anywho! Let us see about the measuring…" Mr. Ollivander said. It must have been five whole minutes by the time that old fart stopped talking. He took out a measuring tape with a strange silvery glow out of his pocket and put it onto Tigra's side and let go of it. It did all these weird movements at Tigra and Loup, both. After it finished, Mr. Ollivander looked at the measurements. "Inter……estering………very interesting…"
"What, what, WHAT?? Tell me! Come on, old man!" Tigra said anxiously and started to get angry.
"Calm down, dear Tigra," Mr. Ollivander said, "I have no intention of floating for today. Let me just go get the suitable wands for you both. Be right back and I'll be spiffy! Isn't that a word you young ones use these days? Tee hee." He walked slowly to the back and came back with a couple of boxes that looked like they'd been around for at least a millennium. "Both these wands were made from Druids. This one, Loup, is made from wolfsbane (the herb), wolf's nail, and unicorn hair. Notice the wood is made from Willow bark and look, see the carvings?" He pointed to four carvings on the handle of the wand, "This one is symbol of protection, and it is a pentagram. This one here is the crescent moon, this one is the symbol for the planet Neptune, and this odd looking one here represents Pisces!"
"Yeah, I'm Pisces and my planet IS Neptune!" Loup said.
Mr. Ollivander gave him the wand. "Please wave it around."
"Yes sir!" Loup gave the wand a wave. He felt a tingle in his right arm. Then, green and blue sparks shot out of the tip of the wand.
"Excellent. It looks like you found your wand already. Miss Ila, your next." Mr. Ollivander wrapped up Loup's wand and handed it to him. Then he took out an 11 inch wand. "Tigra, this wand was also made by the Druids. It is made of Rowan wood, and has a Pegasus feather, rose buds, ivy, and the eyelash of a puma." Then he pointed to four carvings on the handle and two on the sides of the wand. "This carving is for Aries, like you, this one it for Mars, like you, this one is a rose bud, and this on is the sun. The two on the sides are carvings of ivy. Try it." He handed her the wand.
"Thanks." Tigra had the same feeling in her arm as Loup, and gave the wand a wave. Out of the end shot purple and gold flowers.
"Very interesting… Usually when you first get a wand it only shots out sparks, not flowers, but, you never know." With that he took back the wand and wrapped it up. After handing it back to Tigra, both she and Loup paid 11 Galleons for them.

Once they were outside they headed to Magical Menagerie.
***
"Mom, mom, I want that Owl!" squealed Tigra excitedly. She was pointing to the only black owl in the shop that was hooting softly. The owl was a little smaller than average, had soft, silky, black feathers, and baby blue eyes. The owner walked over to them when she saw Tigra pointing to the magnificent black creature.
"You like her, miss?"
"Oh yes! She's lovely! How much for her?"
"20 Galleons miss."
"Mom can I have her? PLEASE?" Saphira handed the storekeeper the money in exchange for the owl.
"YAY! I'm going to name her… Midnight. Yes, that's the perfect name for her. Hi Midnight." With that she stroked Midnight who was sitting on the perch in her cage.
While this was going on, Loup was looking at the rats.
"You sure you want a rat?" asked a voice behind him. "My friend had a rat; it ended up being a human."
Loup looked behind him and saw Harry. "Umm… Yay, I want a rat." Loup looked back at the rats. One particular rat caught his eye. The rat looked back at Loup with such innocence in its deep black shiny eyes. Its cream colored coat shimmered in the candlelight; Loup has fallen in love (you know what I mean…).
"So, you want this disgusting rat laddy?" The clerk asked with disgust in his face.
"Are you like rat-phobic or something? Well yeah…I would love to have this LOVELY creature!!" Loup said with determination.
"Ugh! Lovely not! Ok…just take the filthy thing…take it!"
"What do you mean….For free?" Loup asked.
"TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!" The man said as red as a tomato.
"Cool!" Loup reached his hand into the cage and took the rat. She looked ever so excited and Loup felt the warm of the rat against his chest as he gave her the biggest rat hug ever. "Oh my God…I love you!! I'm gonna name you……Pearly. You are as precious as a pearl!"
"Oh, HOW SWEET! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE STORE!!!!" He was getting real mad now.
"Well, that was interesting," concluded Harry, as he, Tigra, Loup, Saphira, and Remus headed for Quality Quidditch Supplies. "Remus, there's a new broom out. I want to check the price on it. I mean, there hasn't been a new broom since the Firebolt came out. This on is called the Sky Streak."
As soon as Tigra heard the name Sky Streak, she just knew that she had to have that broom. "Mom, can I get one? Please?" she asked, begging her mom.
"Well… um… err… fine. But only it you pay 20 Galleons for it yourself, then I'll pay the rest."
"Yay! Thanks mom. I love you!" Tigra ran and gave her mom a HUGE hug.
"Remus," Harry whined.
"Forget it, Harry."

"Wow, Kings Cross is crowded," stated Saphira looking around. They go to the wall between platforms nine and ten.
"Why the hell are we just standing in the middle? There's no such thing as 9 ¾…." Loup said sarcastically.
"Yes, Loup there is. Ok, Tigra your first," Saphira said, "TIGRA GO!"
"Mom, can you like teach us how to ummmm….do this?" Tigra said puzzled.
"Okay fine. Harry, you go first." Saphira said. Harry ran forward straight into the big, solid, brick wall. Loup almost started laughing on how idiotic Harry looked charging into the wall until he saw him disappear.
"WHOA! What the FUCK just happened?!!?!?!?!??!" Loup yelled open loud.
"Loup PLEASE! There will NOT be any cursing when I'm around! Ok Tigra it's your turn!" Saphira looked at Tigra with her watery eyes and gave her a huge hug and a huge lipstick printing smooch on the cheek and forehead and said, "Oh dear me Tigra, your growing up way too fast! I'll miss you so much!"
"MOTHER!!! PLEASE NOT HERE!!!!!! I'll miss you too ma…I love you." Then Tigra ran straight into the wall with a nervous look on her face and disappeared.
"Ok Loup, go ahead." Saphira gave him a hug and a kiss.
"Thanks Saphira, for everything." Loup said.
Than he heard this five year old kid say "mommy I wanna disappear like them people!!" then he heard Saphira yelling at the kid and telling him to go jump in front a train, then he would disappear. Loup thought, *Now that's where Tigra go her anger problems! Oh well, here goes nothing!*
Loup looked skeptically at the wall. "To run or not to run. That is the question."
Tigra's head appeared through the wall. "LOUP GROVA, GET YOUR SORRY ASS IN HERE BEFORE THE FUCKING TRAIN LEAVES. YOU'RE SO IMPOSSIBLE!"
"I do try my hardest." At this Tigra glared at him with a look that said quite clearly 'come or die!'
"Ok, ok, I'm coming!" With that Loup walked through the wall to platform 9 3/4.
Together they walked onto the train, looking for a compartment to put their things in. At the back of the train the last compartment was empty.
"Finally, an empty compartment," sighed Loup.
Knock, knock.
"Come in."
A small girl with straight, shoulder length, brown hair walked in. She had blue eyes and pale skin. "Tigra?"
"Yeah?"
"Tigra, it's me, Jayda Frier," said the girl.
"Jayda? Is it really you? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh my gods. I haven't seen you in years. The last time I saw you was when Babe was born." Tigra and the girl embraced. Loup cleared his throat. "Oh yeah. Jayda, this is my best friend Loup Grova. Loup this is Jayda Frier."
Loup and Jayda shook hands. They both said hi to each other and the three quickly became best of friends in five minutes.
"So what house do you both wanna be in?" asked Jayda when they were all seated. All of a sudden the train gave a lurch and started moving.
"We're heading to Hogs Have Warts," said Tigra as she elbowed Loup.
"Hey! I was misinformed. It's not my fault." At this Jayda and Tigra snickered.
"I know what we need to do!" exclaimed Jayda.
"What?"
"Have nicknames for each other. Tigra can be, um… Tigz, I can be Jay, and Loup can be Lou."
Everyone agreed.
All of a sudden the door to their compartment opened. In the door way stood 4 boys and 4 girls.
"They look like Slytherins!" whispered Tigra.
"Looky here. It's the Canadian Minister for Magic's daughter. Hello Ms." The boy looked at Loup and Jayda. "What do we have here?"
"Hello Seth," said Tigra as she nodded her head towards the short guy at the front of the group. "Who are your bodyguards and bitches?"
"Take it back!"
"Make me!"
"Oh I will!"
With this, Seth's feet were no longer touching the ground.
