Chapter 2
Rose smiled at Harry, her eyes filled with unexplainable warmth. Harry looked back to Lupin. "Rose is going to be your new bodyguard, an animagus bodyguard to be exact. She also tells us that you are a Pyromagus, and so she will teach you how to control your Pyromagi powers." As a confused look passed over Harry's face, Rose began to explain. "A Pyromagus is a witch or wizard that sets things on fire when they are angry or upset. A novice Pyromagus, such as yourself, cannot control what they set on fire, and is also exhausted easily by their powers. An advanced Pyromagus, such as myself, can not only pull fire into their hands and put it out, but can also sense when other Pyromagi are nearby."
Harry was taken by surprise when Rose turned into an orange tabby cat and jumped onto his shoulders. "We're going to try and get you away as soon as possible, Harry. I'm going to accompany you to the Dursleys and explain to them about Rose. You can call her Tigress when she is a cat, so as not to let anyone know who she is." With that, Lupin opened the door and gently nudged Harry out of it. As they walked down the sidewalk, Harry stopped suddenly. "Am I going back to headquarters?" Lupin sadly smiled at him. "No. You'll be going to the Burrow." Tigress purred for just a second, and Harry somehow felt better. Knowing he was going to the Burrow and not his godfather's home was a relief.
When they reached the front door of the house, Lupin rang the doorbell. Vernon Dursley answered the door, but was furious to see his nephew standing there. "What are you doing back here boy?" Lupin cleared his throat. "I'm sure you didn't think he had gone permanently?" When Vernon didn't answer, Lupin continued. "This cat must stay with Harry. You need not worry about taking care of her as she is very capable of taking care of herself." With that said Lupin turned around began to leave. "Wait! Professor Lupin, where are you going?" Lupin turned to Harry. "I have to meet Tonks. I'll be seeing you later Harry."
After Lupin had walked away, Harry heard a loud crack, and Harry knew that Lupin had disapparated. He walked inside, receiving glares from all of the Dursleys. Tigress, sensing his anger, jumped off of his shoulders and bounded up the stairs. Harry, feeling that prickly sensation once again, hurriedly followed her. When he had reached that landing, Rose was standing in the hallway. "Which is your bedroom?" Instead of answering, Harry walked to his bedroom door and opened it up. Upon entering, Rose laughed. "This reminds me of my room back home in the States. It's a good thing I know a few cleaning spells. Unfortunately, my roommate trained me to be neat, which I may add, took at least a year."
With a smile, the young witch pulled her wand out of her robes. She pointed her wand at the mess, waved her wand, and most of the fallen items were in their proper place. Tucking her wand back inside her robes, she turned to Harry. "It's a little late, so we won't start your Pyromagus training tonight. You should get some sleep. I'll turn into Tigress and hide somewhere while you change." Rose changed back into the orange tabby cat and ran under Harry's desk, turning her back on Harry and covering her eyes with her paws. Once Harry had changed into his pajamas he climbed into bed after taking off his glasses and placing them on his desk. Tigress crawled out from under the desk and jumped onto the bed, lying down near Harry's head. She began to purr, gently lulling him to sleep. I am so much more than a witch, Harry Potter, and in the end you will be extremely grateful.
Harry was standing in a dark room. All of a sudden, there were several bursts of flame and torches were lit on the walls. Harry heard the flutter of wings and saw white feathers dash around a corner. Sensing he should follow, Harry ran around the corner and saw a pair of bright white wings around another corner. Harry kept following the wings around several corners, never seeing the creature attached to them. When he rounded the last corner he was not faced with wings, but with the very veil his godfather, Sirius Black, had fallen through. Harry felt an ice-cold feeling in his stomach, which soon turned into the new prickly feeling he had been getting lately. As the prickly feeling turned into a hot, bubbly rage, he realized he was angry at the wings for leading him here. Then the veil started to flutter. It lifted up in a nonexistent breeze and an angel walked out of the archway. The angel's hand was holding another, and when he looked, he saw Sirius' face smiling at him once more.
Harry woke up, a warm feeling surrounding him. He glanced at Tigress, who was asleep, and was thankful that she was there. He smiled, knowing that while he was at the Dursleys he would no longer feel horribly alone because she was here. He somehow knew she would understand, and would listen patiently.
Thank you to all who reviewed! We appreciate it a lot! To those reviewers: Rose is entirely my (Tigress) creation. Rose happens to be one of my favorite names. Also, I myself have never seen a bodyguard fic, but that's ok. There is a lot more in here that I assure you is entirely original.
