CHAPTER 8
The next day, all the school could talk about was Raven being a world renowned singer.
"Mione, have you seen Raven? Last time I saw her, she was going to the bathroom, crying."
But before Hermione could give her answer, Dumbledore stood up and motioned for silence.
"As you've heard last night, Raven is quite famous. I hope the whole school will continue to treat Raven with same respect as you did before. And also, Raven has agreed to do a concert for the school. Tickets are 5 Knuts. All proceeds will go towards St Mungos."
Harry, Ron and Hermione left the hall to find Raven. Luckily it was a Saturday, so there weren't any classes.
"Do ya want to go to that concert?"
"I wouldn't mind Mione, But harry is buying of course."
"HEY?!?!?! You can buy them yourself."
"Harry?" someone whispered.
As Harry turned to see who it was, he turned and saw amber-green eyes staring right at him. "Ray! Don't scare me like that. Oh and cograts on your concert. I didn't know that you could sing like that. I bet you won the whole thing."
"Great......... just what I need, another reason for people to chase me around for an autograph. Oh and by the way, Harry, I need to meet you at the room of requirements tonight after dinner."
"Ok Ray... See you tonight."
"What about us?!?!" asked Ron and Hermione.
"You can come as well, of course."
That night, they met in the room, and Raven told them, that she was going to teach them to become Animagi.
"COOL!!!!"
"Its actually easier than you think you know. Now, first of all, what animal do you wanna be?"
"You mean you get to choose?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah, unless you don't care, then the spell chooses for you."
"So Ron, what do ya wanna be?"
"Ummm......... How about a ferret?"
"Sure. Just keep a picture of a ferret clear in your mind."
"Hermione?"
"A fox."
"Just keep a fox in your mind."
"Harry?"
"I don't know what I wanna be."
"That's ok Harry; I'll choose something for you. Now clear your mind, except the image of your animal. I'll say the incantation. You will then change, and then you'll be a baby version of your animal."
As Raven said the incantation, the trio started to get drowsy, and just as she finished it, they were all out cold.
They were out for about ½ an hour. As Harry woke up, he was on a soft bed.
Harry looked at himself in a mirror, to find that he was a lion cub. He decided to scare Hermione, but was stopped by a baby ferret, which pushed him onto the floor, trying to get to the mirror.
"Stupid Ron." Thought Harry.
"I heard that Harry." Answered Ron.
"Wow we can communicate through your minds."
"Let's get Hermione."
They clumsily walked across the room to the third bed, where a baby fox was just waking up. Hermione opened her eyes to look strait at a pair of emerald green cat eyes.
"Hey Herms."
"Harry!! You're a lion cub!!!"
"Yeah, so, you're a baby fox, and Ron's a Baby Ferret."
"Where is Raven?!?!"
"We don't know. We just woke up as well."
They looked around, and saw a wolf cub sleeping quite peacefully in a corner of the room on a huge pillow.
"That must be Raven. We should wake her."
Harry got off the bed and walked clumsily over to Raven, he was still getting used to the four legged part, and nudged her with one of his paws. The wolf cub slowly stirred, and was pounced on by a lion cub and ferret.
"How embarrassing, being squashed by a juvenile lion and a scrawny little ferret that I could easily eat, hum......."thought Raven.
Raven went into a pounce position, and chased Ron all around the room, but her fun was cut short, when he changed back to his human form.
"Spoil sport." Said Raven, as she changed back.
Raven picked up Harry, and placed him on the bed where Hermione was.
"Hermione, you have to get of the bed and move so you can get used to your animal form." Said Raven.
Hermione reluctantly got up from the bed and started to walk around, but soon she lost her balance, and fell over, but never touched the ground, because Raven was there with her, and caught her.
After about 2 hours of playing around in their animal forms, they changed back and headed up towards the Gryffindor common room.
"Thanks for choosing my animal for me Raven." Said Harry as he was sitting by the fire.
"That's ok Harry; I thought you might like it. It was that or the spell would have chosen you to be a stag." Answered Raven as she was putting more wood in the fire, as it was dieing out.
