"Hermione you haven't owled your parents about our engagement yet have you?"

They were sitting in the common room of there private wing, sitting in there favorite chair by the fire. It was late Saturday night, so late in fact it wasn't Saturday night but now early Sunday morning. They had been sitting there sense dinner, they were all there earlier, they watched some movies on there muggle T.V, after that Draco decided to turn in, he was shortly followed by Blaise, Sam, and Ginny. Harry and Hermione had sense sat in a comfortable silence broken only by a few random snogging sessions.

"I'm so sorry Harry I've been meaning to but this week has just been so hectic with this being our N.E.W.T year and all the Head duties. But I promise that I will go up there today and owl them but only if you come" she tilted her head up and kissed him playfully on the lips " Well I'm heading to bed are you coming?"

"Yes, but I hardly think that, that was a proper good night kiss." he replied as he slowly picked her up and started to carry her to bed

"Oh' you don't do ya? Well hows this?" she then pulled his head down to her level and kissed him with a kiss that clearly said 'i love you'

Harry then continued to kiss her as he carried her to their bedroom, where he sat her down on the bed then sat next to her all with out braking off the kiss. They ended it a few minutes later only to fall asleep in each others arms.

Later that day Harry and Hermione headed up to the owlery to send the letter to her parents about there engagement. As they were heading back down they ran into Professor McGonnagal(really she was there aunt being her and Dumbledore had recently gotten married), and she asked to speak to them in her office. When they reached her office they were surprised to find Draco, Ginny, Blaise, and Samantha all waiting for them.

"This year Dumbledore would like you all to attempt to become animagus." she gave them all one of her rare smiles as she looked around at all their shocked faces.

"But Aunt Minerva isn't that really advanced magic?" Harry was the first to ask the question that they all wanted answers to

"Harry James! Do not act like you three boys have not been planning on becoming animagus this year. You want to know how I know this right?" at that they all nodded their heads in response " Dumbledore told me, you see he knows everything that goes on in this castle. I think that there is a muggle saying that goes along the lines of ' If these wall could talk', and that is exactly the case here at Hogwarts."

The three boys all sat there with stunned looks on there faces while their girlfriends and fiancée were staring daggers at them.

"Harry James Potter!" Hermione continued on with her rant even when Harry tried to interrupt her to explain "How could you? Didn't you think that we would like to try it too?Or is it because we are girls and you wouldn't like us to join in the fun or have some of our own?"

"Ugh! He is so getting the couch for at least a week!" Harry just sat there and stared wide eyed at her, for he could have sworn that he had just heard Hermione's voice in his head

"WHAT!" she snapped viciously causing every one around her to jump

"Oh' nothing" he thought silently while he prayed that this would work both ways . Then it was Hermione's turn to stare at him wide eyed until a look of realization crossed her faces

"Mr.Potter, Miss Granger can you continue your argument else where, and let us get on with our discussion?"

"Yes, Professor"

"Hermione, please call me Aunt Minerva your just as much family as anyone else here."

"Yes Aunt Minerva" Harry and Hermione replied at the same time

McGonagall then turned her attention on the other four in the room and said the same thing , then turning back to Harry and Hermione she said "this applied to all of you, you must still call me 'Professor' in class so it does not look like I am choosing favorites.

They all nodded in response to that.

"O.K, as I was saying this year you will be attempting to become animagus, and sense Albus knew that you were going to attempt it yourself he thought it would be best if you had a professional teach you the proper way. Now to become animagus you need to focus on your 'inner animal' and becoming that animal. Now while you are that animal you must focus on keeping your sanity so you do not act like that animal would but of your own free will. I will be doing a simple charm on each of you to show your inner animal or animals.

"Everybody ready?" They all nodded as they stood up waiting expectantly "The charm that I will be placing on you is 'accio inanima' . At first you may only have one animal but as you perfect it you may come to have many more, or in the case of very magical wizards and witches you may have two-three to start with, I wouldn't be surprised if all of you had two to begin with. Now Harry you first."

Harry walked over and stood in front of his aunt expectantly as she placed the charm over him. Within' a few moments he was surrounded by a silver sparkling mist, from that mist came a large black timber wolf. The wolf had sparkling green eyes identical to Harry's, they could have been his had they not been on the wolf. Then just as suddenly as it appeared it disapeared and was replaced by a small scarlet widget's with the same eyes. When that disapeared the silver light went with it.

"Very good Harry! Hermione next please."

Hermione stepped forward and from her mist she saw a brown dog a little more than half the size of Harry's wolf, it also had her amber eyes. As that faded away a large scarlet phoenix much like Faux appeared. The only difference was that its tail feathers were tipped with gold.

When Hermione saw that her animagus forms both had her eyes and Harry's had his something clicked. When one has a animagus form the animal will have identical eyes to the witch or wizard so close friends will be able to tell who it is.

Draco went next and saw a pure white arctic wolf with his steel blue eyes followed by a snowy owl identical to Hedwig only with different eyes.

Blaise went next and out of his mist walked a large timber wolf with bright blue eyes, it's coat was a perfect combination of khaki, brown, gray, and black. But soon it was replaced by a large hawk.

Ginny followed and saw a medium sized red fox who's fur color was almost identical to her hair. Next she saw a red hawk slightly smaller than Blaine's both with her amber eyes.

Sam was last and walked up very hesitantly. McGonagall must have noticed something because she said "Don't be scared Samantha it will all be over in a minute."

"I'm not scared about the spell its that I'm afraid that maybe I just ain't magical enough to do it like them." she turned around and pointed to a corner of the room and sure enough there sat three wolves, a dog, and a fox.

"Oh' my never in all my time have i ever seen even fully trained adult wizards do that!"turning back to Sam she added "They are just show offs you'll do just fine. Now step up so we will see what your inner animal is."

Sam stood strait and looked expectantly into the silver mist that now was surrounding her. A moment later a dog jut like Hermione's walked forward there were only two differences . One: hers had a black coat and Two: it obviously had her green eyes. When that was gone a black owl emerged from the mist it lingered only a moment before disapearing taking the mist with it.

Ten minutes later six animagus disapeared into the Forbidden Forest. Only to return to the castle at night fall.
