Chapter 4

"Well," James hesitated. This was not something u could just go and tell anyone. It was a VERY important secret. But somehow he just knew he could trust Kat and went on. "Remus is a werewolf."
Kat gasped but then smiled. "That is so cool. I knew there were different creatures in this world, but I never imagined being introduced to one. It's nice to meet you." Kat looked at Remus with a newfound respect.
Lily turned to Kat to talk to her more on the subject. "The other three boys are illegal (shh) Animagi. They go with Moony, Remus, on a full moon to help keep him under control and to keep him company."
Kat had been looking at Lily with eyes like a deer in the headlights. She was completely and totally lost. "Animagi," Kat asked, "what's an animagi?"
Sirius stopped shoveling food down his throat just long enough to explain. "Animagi are witches or wizards that can transform themselves into animals. When WE found out that Remus was a werewolf, we decided we definitely wanted to help him. We thought of the only way he couldn't harm us, and that was when we were animals. So we became Animagi. Bloody hard work that is." He went right back to slurping up some soupy substance that was in front of him.
"Thanks. I feel so stupid. I am still adjusting to this world. I feel so bad that you guys have to explain everything to me." Kat blushed as she looked around the table.
"No problem, I don't mind at all." Sirius was also blushing as he got to a drumstick on his plate. But his rosy cheeks were not caused by the same reason.
"Anywhoo," Tori cut in, "the three boys are all different animals, and because of these animals, they all have nicknames. James is a stag and we call him Prongs. Sirius is a dog (he acts like one all the time anyway) Sirius whacks Tori in the arm and we call him Padfoot. Peter is a rat and we call him wormtail. His tail really does look like a worm... I'm surprised that a bird hasn't carried him off by now..." Tori trailed off sort of talking to herself.
"As you can tell, Tori does not have the attention span to be an Animagus. Ariel doesn't want to get in trouble if anyone found out and Mollie does not know. Luckily, I have none of these problems and I am an Animagus too. I am a deer. I don't have a nickname, because I happen to like the name Lily perfectly fine." Lily finished this statement with a look of satisfaction on her face and began to daintily eat some potatoes.
Kat looked at her new friends anxiously and began to speak. "Is there any chance that I could learn how to become an Animagi too? I would work very hard and if I was too much trouble, you wouldn't have to continue teaching me. It would mean so much to me if I could learn." She had a look of yearning in her eyes. She wanted to badly to fit in, and this sounded like so much fun.
Sirius jumped at the opportunity, before any of his friends could even process what the new girl had said. "I'll teach you how to be an Animagi!" He was standing in his chair by now and had almost screamed the last sentence. He awkwardly sat down and awaited her response. Kat was overjoyed. A chance to become closer to the group, and not to mention the handsome Sirius. If none of the others at the table had noticed, Kat had been looking at this boy for quite some time. She was intrigued by him. He had deep eyes, which showed more than just his appetite and good looks. But this was no time to fall in love, she was adjusting to a whole new world. Just then Snape and his girlfriend at the time, Kate, walked over from the Slytherin table.
"Potter and you little girlfriend. Still with a mudblood (a/n i HATE that word) I see? You disgust me." He ran his hands through his disgustly greasy hair and gave them a look that could break a mirror. Sirius, Remus, and James all jumped up at the same time to hex Snape and would have if Kat, Ariel, and Lily didn't stand up and hold them back.
"Come on you guys, I know you are the Marauders, but I don't want to take off house points when you don't even have any." Lily looked disappointed as she tapped her prefect badge. She then ran over to the two red-headed twins that had now enchanted some chicken legs to start dancing.

"Those two are good! I wish I had learned that charm by last Christmas" Sirius pointed to the dancing food.
