Harry Potter and the Anamagi

Chapter 12-animals

Everyone in the hallway waited with bated breath as the door to Aria's room opened. When no one came out they sighed. Harry was grinning for a reason no one else seemed to notice. He had seen something no one else had, he had seen a white dog exit from the room.

"HEY GUYS!" Aria called out from behind her friends.

They turned around but came face-to-face with a pure white wolf instead. Suddenly they laughed realizing who they were staring at.

"So it worked?" Ron asked.

"Yah," Aria said after turning back into a human.

"So is it my turn?" Nai asked.

"Yah," Aria replied. "Have fun!"

Nai grinned over her shoulder.

"I'll be back!" Aria yelled as she ran down the stairs to find her mom and dad.

She came back a few minutes later holding a bowl in her hands.

"This is a pensive," she said. "I need to teach you guys how to use it."

She sat down on the floor then beckoned for everyone else to do the same. Within five minutes, everyone had the concept, and within another five minutes, everyone had tried and succeeded at taking a memory out of their head.

"Wow," Harry said. "I liked that. I got rid of the memory of Cedric, now it is in the bowl, and...and I don't feel so bad about it."

"Cool," Ron said. "I'm sure that makes you feel a lot better."

"It does."

Just then, the door opened and a silver fox came out. Nai's fox form was a dark silver back with black stockings on all of her legs. On her left shoulder was a white sun mark.

"Nai you look so cute!" Aria said.

"Thanks, and Hermione its your turn," Nai said.

Hermione went in and Nai grinned.

"I don't know if she is going to like that," She said.

"I don't think she will," Aria said. "She will probably ask what the ingredients are."

"What are they anyway?" Harry asked.

"Its like a Poly Juice Potion, minus two ingredients, and a wolfsbane potion, and the hair of the animal you are going to be." Aria said.

Ron grimaced remembering his second year in Hogwarts. "Nope, I don't think Hermione will like that."

Harry also remembered their second year, but more or less remembered Hermione turning into a half cat. "I sincerely doubt she will like it," he said.

Six minutes later, Hermione walked out of the room. Everyone stared at her fearing that she hadn't taken the potion, but then suddenly a tabby cat was in front of them. It was orange and black with tufts of hair on-top of the ears. On the right hindquarter, there was a white splatter.

"Very nice Mione," Ron said.

The cat turned into a human. "Thanks," Hermione said. "And,"

"It's my turn, I know," Ron said as he walked to the door.

"What's he going to be again?" Nai asked.

"Phoenix," Harry said.

"That should be interesting," Hermione said.

They waited ten minutes in silence until a red bird flew out of the door. Harry thought it looked exactly like Fawkes, until he noticed the small white patch on the beak that looked like a broom.

"Wow, that's a beautiful form Ron," Aria said.

"I LIKE IT!" Nai screamed.

"Pretty," Hermione said, almost absent-mindedly.

"Thanks," Ron said after turning back into a human.

Harry walked past him, "Good choice," He said before he walked into Aria's room himself.

For the ten minutes that Harry was with Dumbledore, Nai, Ron, Hermione and Aria played with each-other in animal form. Then the door opened and a black dog, almost identical to Sirius except for it was smaller and less shaggy came bounding out of the door. Aria noticed a white zigzag shape running down the dogs forehead to his muzzle.

Harry ran up to Aria and the rest, then they all ran down the steps as Animagi to show Lupin and Sirius.
