Ok. This is my story so I make the rules. He he! All animagus's can talk to each other through their minds while they are both transformed. Ok. You may read on now.

Erica's point of view!
--------------------------------------

I wander out of the dungeons and find an open window. I jump up and out into the yards, thinking, 'Good thing they have big windows here'. I sit down and think about where on the grounds that I want to go. I look around and notice the Whomping Willow.

'Perfect,' I think, 'I'll go and check out the old hide out.' I look up into the sky and see a full moon. Even though tigers can't actually smile, I smile in my mind. 'Just the kind of night to bring back great memories.'

I quickly walk to the Whomping Willow on all four of my paws. I dodge the branches and slip into the hole leading into the Shrieking Shack. I walk the path and enter the house. I see fresh footprints.

'Weird' I think. I hardly have to think about where the stairs are; I know this place like the back of my hand, well, paw at the moment.

I climb the steps and stroll into the room where we would always go to be with Lupin during his transformations. I turn into the room and come face to face with something hairy. I take a quick little step backwards and realize that it's a werewolf.

The werewolf bears his teeth and growls.

'Wait? Could this be who I think it is?' I think.

'Lupin?' I try to teleport. For a second it looks like I should be running, but then the teeth go back behind the lip and the eyes of the werewolf look into mine.

'Erica?' comes into my mind.

I nod my huge tiger head and get onto my hind legs and put my paws up. He puts his paws to mine and I can tell he's smiling.

I tackle him to the ground and lick his face. 'Oh my God! It's so great to see you Moony!'

' I can't believe you're here, Stripes!'

After about four hours of talking into each other's mind, we decide to hop onto the old bed and sleep. It was nothing sexual or anything, just two friends at a sleepover or something. We just happen to be animals while we do this.

In the morning I wake up next a man curled into a ball. I stretch and lick his face. His eyes shoot open, and he flings his arms around my neck. I purr loudly and start out the door. He trys to keep up to my quickly moving paws, but fails. I sink to the floor and let him climb atop.

It's kind of weird carrying around one of your old best friends. When we get back to the school I decide that I don't feel like changing back to the real me and walk in, Lupin now walking beside me. I walk a little slower for him this time.

We get inside the Great Hall and some people stare in amazement and others back up in fear. I laugh in my mind at them, knowing that I was harmless.

"Lupin, why would you bring a tiger to school?" demands Professor McGonagall.

"It's no tiger Minerva, it's Erica."

I transform to myself, not wanting Lupin to get in trouble. I walk up to sit next to Severus and both Lupin and Severus give me dirty looks.

"What?" I exclaim.

"What are you doing with him?" demands Severus.

"We're just old school friends. Relax."

"What? I went to school with him, so how could you have went and I not know you?"

"You might know me. I had a nick name. No one called me Erica. Everyone called me Elg."

He looked like he was going to faint. He grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of the Great Hall. He held my arm until we had reached the dungeons, where he threw me against the wall.
