Chapter Five - Animagi

When Harry woke up the next day, he stayed in bed thinking. By the time Remus and Sirius arrived, he'd made a decision. They asked how he was feeling, and then Harry asked a question of his own. "Remy?" Remus and Sirius both smiled at the nickname.
"When's the next full moon?"

They looked a little surprised. "In exactly three weeks and five days. Why?" Harry grinned. "Reckon you can teach me how to be an Animagus by then?" Their initial shock turned to happiness with a trace of confusion. Harry kept going. "See, I figured not only will being an Animagus be fun, useful for pranks, and also good for revenge... But also we can all go into the forest on full moons."

Sirius and Remus grinned and hugged him. Touched because he wanted to pull pranks in true Marauder style (Sirius) and that he cared enough to keep an old wolf company (Remus). Harry gave a lopsided smile. "I seem to be getting hugged a lot lately." He joked. "So is that a 'yes we'll teach you' then?"

They agreed that when Poppy let him out in the afternoon, they'd begin to prepare. They had breakfast together, and chatted until Harry remembered to ask. "Remy? When I was at the Dursleys, when I'd just... y'know"

"Tried to off yourself?" Sirius supplied. Harry glared at him for a second. "Yes, well.
Were you calling to me before I passed out?" Remus nodded solemnly. "Yes, I'd never been so scared in my entire life."


Well, that's that. REVIEW! Please?
