The Animal Kingdom
The corridor holding the transfiguration classroom was deserted except for Sirius and Kaycee Handley. Kaycee was kissing Sirius and even though his lips met hers he was not kissing her back. Nobody would pass them because everybody was in class, what Sirius did not expect was for Katie to run late. She ran around the corner with her books in her hand and halted at the sight. Sirius pulled away and saw Katie standing there for a second and then she looked down and walked in to the class,
'Sorry to interrupt,' she told them.
'Damn it,' Sirius whispered frustrated that Katie found him that way. 'Katie…' he called out walking into the room forgetting that a lesson was going on.
'Ten points from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff,' Professor McGonagall, 'Mr. Black this is your third late class in a row, you will have detention with me tomorrow evening.' Sirius nodded and took a seat beside James and Lupin. 'As I was saying,' McGonagall started again, 'You have already paired off, you will turn your partner into the animal of your choice. Please no harmful creatures, let's stick to the basics. You may begin!' James and Chloe turned towards each other, they had already chosen to be each other's partner. Usually in this scenario James would ask McGonagall for Sirius to join his partnership however he just turned Chloe and asked,
'What animal do you want to be?' Sirius didn't stick around for the answer, he looked for Lupin who had paired up with Lily, he searched the room looking for an available partner. Katie stood searching the room too but never looked at Sirius. Professor McGonagall called out,
'Sirius, Katie, you two will partner up. Since you were late everybody else is gone.' Katie looked like she wanted to kill Professor McGonagall. Sirius walked over to her and sat down.
'Great,' she said sarcastically while rolling her eyes. Sirius didn't even know what to tell her he just stood there awkwardly. 'So what animal would you like to turn into?' Sirius just looked at her without saying anything. 'Ok…' she said. 'I'll just choose…' Katie looked at her surroundings. There were cats, owls, dogs, frogs, a wolf, Lily had just been turned into a parrot and was flying around the room. Katie flicked her wand and silently turned Sirius into a shark. He couldn't breathe because he was not in water. He heard a voice in the distance which could have only been Professor McGonagall's,
'Miss.Shoreman!' Katie sighed and flicked her wand and he immediately turned into a skunk, Sirius backed away from Katie in his skunk form extremely scared. As an animal he was powerless and could not use his wand. Gas filled the room and everybody ran out screaming and laughing. James, Lupin, Chloe and Lily stood at the door gazing in surrounded by the rest of the class some still in animal form. 'Miss.Shoreman you turn him back immediately!' Katie rolled her eyes,
'If you insist,' she flicked her wand and Sirius re-formed as a human. He stood there staring at her in complete disbelief. He actually didn't know she was so good at transfiguration, she could change him from animal to animal very smoothly.
'You smell,' she said scrunching her nose.
'Detention Miss. Shoreman! You can join me and Mr. Black tomorrow night!' Professor McGonagall told her straightening her glasses and smoothing her hair, 'and NO funny business!' McGonagall waved her wand and the smell vanished. 'Class!' she yelled out and the rest of the students filed in. Chloe was a raccoon and walked back into the room with James and Lupin along with Lily who flew in. 'This lesson is over. There will be a one roll of parchment essay on animal transfiguration due next Tuesday. Class dismissed.' Sirius looked over at Katie wondering what detention was going to be like.
A/N-for those who like the Sirius/Katie stories then good because they're kind of the big deal right now…but don't worry! James/Chloe/Lily lovers, those chapters are coming soon! Just be patient! R&R!
