Ok, I got this really fun little review. I'd like to share it with you, and
if the person who sent it doesn't like it, too bad! (No, I'm not mad at
all; I thought it was really funny.)
"Who is Hawk? You sad, sad, sad, little person. You are sick and wrong, and we didn't read your story. We just found the name Hawk and pounced. Get a life you loser."
Ok, now isn't that like the funniest thing you've ever read? I was just WAITING for a review like that! You really made my day! Thanks! But I'm just curious-does 'we' mean 'you' or is there actually more than one person out there?
Alright, now that that's over, I'll put up chapter 8. If it sounds weird or has a lot of mistakes, it's because I can't stop laughing about that review, and I apologize ahead of time. Happy reading!

The next Wednesday night, Hawk had a strange dream. In the morning, all she could remember was a circle of men, and a little red streak running between two of them. but it had seemed as if she was watching it from above the rest of the people. She could remember being scared, but that was all.
"No need to upset yourself over a dream, Hawk," she whispered to herself as she got dressed, "it's not like you've never dreamt about the MotD before."
She met Taran a little late that day. She had been trying to remember her dream while she flew, and she lost track of time. But she finally got it.
"Hey there, Birdie! What's up?" Taran called from the bookshelf when she entered the room.
"Vould you believe me if I told the truth?"
He looked puzzled. "Well. I guess so. I don't see why not."
"I am going to become an animagus."
"Cool! But, uh. do you really have enough time?"
"I vill make it be enough time. Consider this as a sort of last vish."
"Well, then I'll help you."
Hawk stared. "Vhy?"
"Why do you have to question everything? I'm your friend. You're attempting something nearly impossible. I wanna help."
"I don't need help, thank you anyvay." She turned away from him and moved to leave, but he stopped her with his next words.
"That's my job, Birdie."
She spun on her heel and took a few steps toward him, her hands clenched in fists at her sides. "Your job? Your job should be to KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE!! Forget me! I can do this on my own. I do not need any help. I vill NEVER need any help."
"If you say so. The offer is still up if you ever need it though."
"I vill not."
"Ok, ok, just forget it. I found 'the Subtle Knife' for you."
"Thank you. Is it as good as the first book?"
"Better, I think," he said as he handed it to her.
"I'll read it as soon as I can. For now, however, I must go look through the library for books to help me vith the animagus transformation." She left without another word.
"Wonder how long it'll be before she comes crawling to me for help," Taran said to himself. "I'd give her 3 days." He laughed and went back to searching the bookshelves.
Meanwhile, Hawk went to the library and started looking around. It didn't help that she couldn't see the top three shelves, but from what she could see, she got 3 books that looked like they might help. Then she suddenly got an idea and smacked herself in the head. "Stupid. I haff a broom. I can reach those shelves."
So she started all over again at the first shelf, looking at the top half. Up there, she found another 5 books that mentioned animaguses.
***
Up in her dorm room, Hawk searched through all the books for anything that might help her. She found an entire chapter in a book about all transforming arts.
"Concentrate on your animal. vot is my animal, though?" after a few seconds, she came up with it. "The red-tail. It must be." She looked up at Jai, who was perched on her trunk.
Of course, Trixie and Jillian decided to walk into the room right then, so Hawk couldn't get any more done.
"Hey there, Hawk!" Trixie called.
"Hello. Vere haff you been?" Hawk tried not to look annoyed at their interruption.
"Around. Looking for stuff to do. Didn't find anything." Trixie flopped down on her bed.
"YOU didn't, you mean!" Jillian laughed.
"Oh, but Jilly found her knight in shining armor," Trixie added, like Jillian hadn't said anything.
Hawk rolled her eyes. "Vell, I am glad you found something interesting. I did too, actually."
"Really? What?" Jillian asked.
"None of your business," Hawk snapped. She sat up and rubbed Jai's head absently.
"Ooookay then. I won't pry. Got any more chocolate?"
A/N: once again, I can't stand to type any longer, so I'm stopping there. More soon, I hope. Byez!!
