Harry Potter and the Animagi

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does.

Okay, since I only got one suggestion, I will just continue. I hope none of you are disapointed....anyway...ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 10: The Animagi

Aria woke up early the next morning and slipped into Harry's room. Quietly she walked in thinking about how to wake him and what her excuse would be. Much to her surprise, she found he was awake.

"Come in," He said. He was glad to see her.

"Hi," Aria replied sheepishly.

"I was just going to talk to Sirius," He replied. "You wana join me?"

"Sure," Aria replied. "But someplace where as not to wake Ron."

At that moment Ron gave a jerky movement and muttered, "Hermione?" yet he was still fast asleep.

"Alright," Harry replied snickering over, "What are you doing here?" by Ron.

"I am not so sure I want to here this..." Aria said.

Harry laughed, "Yah."

They walked to Buckbeaks room. It was about 6:45.

"Sirius Black," Aria said.

They waited a few seconds. Then,

"Good Morning!" Came Sirius' voice.

"Morning," Harry replied.

"Good Morning!" Aria replied. They were both leaning over the mirror together.

"Does Dumbledore know about the Animagus thing?" Harry asked.

"Dumbledore?" Sirius asked. "Knowing him, he probably had the potion ready and will be there at noon."

Harry laughed. "Good point!"

"Do you know what you are going to be?" Sirius asked.

"I think so..." Harry replied.

"Defiantly."

"Can I know?" Sirius asked.

"No," Aria replied laughing. "You have to wait!"

"Dag..." Sirius said.

Suddenly the door to Buckbeaks room opened, and Lupin came in. He looked startled that someone was actually in the room, let alone Buckbeak.

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to...eh hem...interrupt..." He said.

Harry looked down at the glass and muttered something.

Lupin looked at it curiously. "What are you doing anyway, if you don't mind."

"Talking to Sirius," Aria said.

"Wah, how?" Lupin asked.

Harry showed him the mirror with Sirius' face in it. Lupin's face showed an expression between, Wow-that's-interesting and I-should- have-known-James-used-that-so-many-times.

"But how come you never talked to him before?"

Aria blurted out the whole thing and Lupin laughed while looking intrigued about the Animagus part.

"Yes, Dumbledore should know by now," He said.

Harry got up and handed Lupin the mirror.

"Here, you talk to him," He said.

"Thanks," Lupin said as he went and sat down in the corner.

Harry and Aria got up and left and went and ate breakfast. After breakfast was over, they retreated along with Hermione, Nai and Ron to go up to Aria's room to discuss the Animagi.

"Do you know what you are going to be?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," everyone replied.

"An Wolf," Aria replied.

"Silver fox," Nai said.

"Tabby cat," Hermione said.

"Black lab," Harry replied. "I was thinking about a stag or phoenix, but I like dogs."

"I like the idea of a phoenix," Ron said.

"I'm sort of scared though," Aria said. "I don't know what Dumbledore is going to do..."

At that moment Dumbledore walked in the room.

"What I am going to do for what?" He said, peering down over his moon-shaped spectacles with the familiar comforting twinkle in his eyes. In his left hand there was a big suitcase and a cauldron.

Aria laughed for no apparent reason.

Dumbledore closed the door. "Are we ready?"

"Yeah," everyone replied.

"Good," He said. "Lets get on with it."
