Chapter 14

It was two weeks later and Harry was about to do the last step needed to become an Animagus. After looking through the book that tells you what each form means Harry had decided that he would most like to be a wolf. The book said that if you become a wolf then you are pure of heart, brave, noble and loyal.

"Oh well here it goes." Harry thought as he said the last spell.

All of a sudden Harry felt a great warmth spread across him. He looked at his hands to find that they were glowing. The last thing he felt before passing out was the sensation of his flesh being ripped off his bones.

The next morning Harry woke up to someone pounding on the door to his room. When he opened his eyes, he noticed that the room was a lot brighter then he remembered.

"Did I sleep in here all night?" Harry wondered as he got up and stretched. The person that had been banging on the door entered. "Remus has a slightly canine scent to him. Wonder why I never noticed that before?" Harry thought.

"Harry. Harry where are you?" Remus said in a normal voice, although it seemed to Harry that he yelled.

"I'm in here." Harry tried to say but all that came out was a bark. "It worked!" Harry thought excitedly as he ran over to the mirror.

The animal staring back at him was a stunning grey wolf. His coat had almost a silver gleam to it except around the eyes. Two black rings that looked identical to his glasses, framed Harry's still emerald green eyes. Harry was so busy looking at himself that Lupin had to talk to get his attention.

"Harry?" Remus asked. Harry turned around and transformed.

"Hi." Harry said not knowing how Lupin would react.

"When did you become an Animagus?" Lupin asked stunned.

"Last night." Harry answered.

"Where did you learn how?" Lupin asked suspiciously.

"From a book I found in this room." Harry answered timidly.

"And what is this room?" Lupin asked looking around.

"Sirius made this room so he could get away from everything for a while. He was planning on training me in here this summer so I figured I'd go ahead and train myself." Harry answered.

"Harry your lucky the Ministry didn't find out you were using magic." Lupin began.

"I'm not lucky. Sirius somehow managed to find a way to block the Ministry out of this room. As long as I only use magic in here I'm fine." Harry cut in.

"Why didn't you tell me about this room?" Lupin asked sounding a little hurt.

"I didn't tell because Sirius wanted to keep this room a secret from everyone. I don't know why." Harry answered.

"I see why Sirius wanted you to have his room now." Lupin said with a small smile.

"So your not mad?" Harry asked slowly.

"Of course I'm not mad. I figured that if you found a way you would become an Animagus too. I guess I just thought that Ron and Hermione would do it with you." Lupin said.

Harry hadn't thought about this. Ron and Hermione were going to be really mad he hadn't told them. Harry had thought, and still did, that the less people who know about him being an Animagus the better.

"Remus is there any way that you could maybe not tell anyone else about this?" Harry asked.

"If you really want me to I can keep it a secret from everyone but Dumbledore." Lupin said.

"That's not fair. You never told on Sirius and my dad." Harry said.

"Yes but Sirius and your dad didn't always have someone trying to kill them, now did they?" Lupin said. Harry mumbled something that sounded like bloody Voldemort and then said.

"I guess your right. But only Dumbledore."

"Only Dumbledore." Agreed Lupin. "By the way if you would like any help with your training just ask."

"You'd help me?" Harry asked.

"Of course. Except when it's getting close to a full moon, then you're on your own." Lupin answered.

"Thanks." Harry said. "Some of these spells are pretty complicated."

"Change back so I can get a good look at you." Lupin said.

Harry quickly changed back into a wolf. He loved the feeling it gave him. Harry felt free when he was in wolf form. Harry ran around the room a few times before Lupin said that they should be heading down to lunch. It was only then that Harry realized how hungry he was.
