Chapter 2
the rest of the train ride and hogwarts and the room
The marauders thought that enough time had gone by for us to say 'hi' it seems because there was a cough behind us, we turned around.
"Great the marauders just who I wanted to see" I whispered sarcastically to Tay who laughed,
"Going to introduce us Lilykins?" Black asked,
"I don't know Tay do you want to be introduced to them?" she put on a thoughtful look on her face and thought then she whispered to me,
"Why do they care I dressed this way to discourage people" I whispered back,
"Because your beautiful even when your punk as you seem to be today, so act punk not ditz" I suggested, she turned to the boys,
"Tayli Elm, and you are?"
"Sirius Black"
"James Potter"
"Remus Lupin"
"Pe-Peter Pe-Pettigirew"
"Nice to meet yeah bye now" we walked out pushing the boys aside,
"Are you related to Tear Elm?" Black asked,
"Yes I'm her sister" we went into the compartment where Te, Sam, and Ivie were waiting,
"This is my sister Tayli, Tayli that's Sam and Ivie" Te introduced them pointing to each of them,
"Hi"
"Hey, I hope your in Gryffindor with us" Sam said to Tayli, "are you good on a broom?"
"Yeah I played Quidditch at my old school I was a chaser" she answered,
"Good because we need another girl, it's only me but I'm Keeper and Te hear who's chaser as you should know and now that the other two have left you can try out and someone else"
"Ok sounds fun"
"Great! hey Lily you should go for chaser to" Sam said to me,
"No way that would mean more time with Potter and Black, I do not know how you and Te do it" I told her, "they would drive me insane" Tayli gave me a look, "fine only if you try to Tay" she nodded, "ok then I guess I'm trying out for Quidditch" just then the Marauders came into the compartment so they heard me say I would join the team.
"So Evans your going to try out uh?" Potter asked,
"Yeah I am" I said raising my chin,
"You any good?" Black asked,
"Yes she is, she's the one of the best I know!" Te said standing up,
"I guess that means your good because Elm here is good" Black said,
"That's it you guys OUT!" Tayli said sounding annoyed, they looked at her, "what?" she asked them,
"Nothing"
"Then get out!" they turned around and left,
"Huh… they're going to drive me INSANE! How do I let you get me into these things?" they shook there heads, "that helps"
"Anything off the trolley?" the cart lady witch person asked,
"Yes please, I would like a half dozen cauldron cakes, a few packs of Beartie bots every flavor beans and…."
"Tay lets just get the lot?" I suggested,
"Good idea Lil" she turned back to the lady, "we'll take the lot" so we got the whole cart, "someone pass the beans!" Tay yelled,
"Ok hear they are!" and Te through the box at her, Tay caught it as if it were nothing but we didn't know we were being watched by the bloody marauders, "yo, you should try out for chaser too" Potter told Tayli,
"BLOODY HELL! When'd you get here?" Sam yelled,
"Not long ago sorry" Remus apologized,
"Its fine you just scared us half to death!"
"What do you want?" Ivie asked them,
"Oh they wanted to know what happened to the food trolley" Remus told us,
"Well now you know, so you can go" Sam told them,
"Yes but we want food Sammy Wammy" Black said putting on his stupid puppy god face,
"Don't call me that Black I have already told you or do want to learn the hard way? Cause if you do you better run"
"And fast and lets hope your smart enough" I added, he looked scared,
"Ok Holly, bye Ivie Wivie, Lily Billy, Tearni Wearni…"he didn't get to finish because Te had jumped him, we started laughing Te was almost a foot shorter then Black,
"Don't ever call me that do you understand and if you have to use a stupid rhyme name at least use Te or Tear got it?" he nodded, no one had ever been able to get Te mad it wasn't that easy and her she was attacking Black who was a beater on the team and hate to say it, had a nice strong body, "good" Te whispered in his ear, he gulped we all started laughing,
"Way to go Te!" I called, Black glared at me I shrugged, Remus held out a hand to Te and she took it they might make a cute couple have to ask Tay I turned to Tayli, "think they'd make a cute couple?" she studied them,
"Yeah"
"Wanna get them together?"
"Of course operation get Tear and Remus together is in operation" I nodded,
"Now what about you?"
"Me?"
"No the ghost behind you" I said rolling my eyes, she turned around to look,
"There's no ghost there"
"Ghost can be invisible if they want, but you're right there isn't"
"Then why'd you say there was?"
"Tayli you are so dense sometimes" everyone looked over at us, "what it's true she does not get sarcasm sometimes" I turned back her, "I meant you ok? I think Black" she looked at me like I have two heads,
"I think Potter for you" she told me,
"WHAT!" everyone looked at me again I ignored them, Tay was just nodding, "nonononono"
"Yesyesyesyesyes" I shook my head, she gave up.
"Come on we have to change the train will be there soon" Ivie said, we all nodded but the boys didn't move,
"Do you mind?" Sam asked them, they shook there heads, Tay and Te looked about to pounce, I grabbed the back of there shirts,
"Out!" I yelled at them, they nodded and left, I let go of them. We started to change and finished just as we got to Hogsmead station. We put our trunks in the trunk pile along with are pets and we to the 'horseless' carriages but I know they're not and so do Tayli and Te who can also see the Thresals, I saw my Grandma die and they were with me, we stopped and discreetly pet them then went in the carriage, "so Tay you better get into Gryffindor or else…" I said shaking my fist in her face,
"calm down Lily, I'll get into Gryffindor…by the way you two" she looked at Te and Me, "were are your nose rings?" gulp,
"umm…right here" Te said meekly pulling it out of her pocket,
"well that's not going to do very much put it back in, and were is your Lily?"
"I have an illusion charm on it"
"why?"
"so people wont notice it"
"why don't you want people to notice it?"
"because we're 'goodie goodies' no joking, cause we don't want to draw attention to ourselves"
"well that's going to change you will be yourselves again, like at home"
"whoa, whoa, whoa, you have your noise pierced since when? Why don't we know?" Sam interrupted, "I want my noise done"
"I can do it for you" Tay volunteered, "I did Lily's and Te's"
"yes please do"
"ok come here" Sam walked over to her, "what side?"
"right"
"ok then nez piercio (I know stupid spell) there you go"
"thanks!" Sam said jumping up and down like a little kid, "Te put yours in, Lily unhide yours, and Ivie get your done" Ivie shook her head, "pplllleeeeaaaassssseeeee!" Sam pulled a puppy dog face, "it'll be our groups thing"
"fine" Ivie sighed, Te did it for her too,
"we also have our stomachs done" Tay add,
"ours too" Ivie said quietly,
"well that saves me trouble, what about tattoos?"
"no Tay that's us three, they don't need them only when they get there you know what" I told her quietly, she nodded,
"what, you know what's?" Sam asked,
"if you can keep a secret we'll tell you" they nodded, "we're animagus"
"really? Awesome, so what's this about the tattoo?"
"well we have a tattoo of what we are"
"what are you Lily?"
"a tiger"
"how does that not surprise me, Te?"
"a leopard"
"Tayli?"
"a panther"
"can we see your tattoos?" we nodded, mine is a white and black tiger laying under the moon in a field, Te's is of a black leopard laying on log over the water under the moon, and Tay's is of a black panther laying on a tree branch under the moon, they are all on our lower backs and take up most of it, "those are so cool, but why are they under the moon and on your lower back?"
"we'll tell you later" they nodded, "look we're here"
"holy shit!" Tayli yelled, when she caught a glimpse of the castle,
"I know" we got out of the carriages and walked with the other students to the great hall, though we left Tayli with the first years, and went to Gryffindor table to our normal spot at the end. McGonagall walked in with the stool and sorting hat with the first years following behind her.
"where's Tayli?" Te asked,
"Probably waiting to be called in the other room" the sorting continued, with Gryffindor getting 4 girls and 5 boys,
"Now may I have everybody's attention" Dumbledor asked standing up, "we have an transfer student from Beauxbatons, Tayli Elm" Tayli walked in then and you could see half the male population following her every move, she sat on the stool and almost immediately, "GRYFFINDOR!" we were the loudest to cheer of course, she walked over to us and sat in between me and Te,
"good you got Gryffindor I would of killed you if you hadn't" Te threatened, we all laughed trust Te to be the dramatic one, "oh Lily don't you have to lead the first years"
"no, the fifth years prefects do that, so I am free, free" then I started laughing crazily, I stopped suddenly, "just kidding, but I don't have to it, so come on we have to show Tay the way, hehe I rhymed, to Gryffie common room and I know the password"
"what is it" Ivie asked,
"umm… what was it again?" the others sighed, "right, the Griffie den" the others nodded.
"Hey Evans! What's the password?" Potter yelled behind me,
"ask Remus he's a prefect"
"he wont tell us"
"and what possessed you to think I would?"
"come on Evans" I shook my head, we continued onto the portrait of the fat lady gave the password and walked in, Tay gasped behind us,
"this is so much more cozier the Beauxbatons there it was all blue and white and so neat"
"really that must have been offal" Te said sarcastically, Tay nodded her head,
"so were is my bed?"
"come on Tay" I said, she followed me up to a door that read 6th year girls, then we walked in,
"which ones mine?"
"the one with your stuff at the end of it, which shouldn't be to hard considering your has a huge panther on it"
"well yours has a tiger on it and Tear has a leopard"
"that's why its easier" Ivie, Sam, and Te came up just then,
"hey guys" Te said, "they want to start the animagus work"
"ok come here" I pulled out a little veil, "this is a little potion we came up with it helps you find your animal, so instead of picking your own that you might end up not liking, this shows you the one that is your…spirit animal I guess you could say" they nodded, I continued, "you drink this then meditate and the animal should pop into your head, this drink will also help you so it happens faster, here take a sip" they took a sip and sat down and started to meditate, after a moment Ivie's eyes opened, and a few moments later so did Sam's, "so what were they, Ivie?"
"a Lynx"
"Sam?"
"a Cheetah" me, Tay, and Te exchanged looks,
"it couldn't be could it?" I asked them,
"maybe" Tay just nodded,
"what are you talking about?" Sam demanded,
"ok we'll tell you, but we have to go to a secret place, follow us" we led them to a portrait in our dorm of 9 cats a lion, a tiger, a panther, a leopard, a jaguar, a bobcat, a cougar, a cheetah, and a lynx, "Earane, Anarane, Eneyla, Melawen, Finduilas" the portrait opened and stairs appeared we walked down them, "ok we're here" the room was decorated with black and silver and there was a moon on each wall in a different quarter (full, ¾ , ½ , ¼ , and non) there was also a workout area with punching bags, weights, and so on. There are 9 chair/beds each one a different colour, in a circle around the middle. On the walls are 9 risers 2 per each wall except for one wall which had only one(probably for the king, the room is like a pentagram). I went and sat in the emerald green chair that was mine, Te sat in the midnight blue almost black one, Tayli sat in the purple one, "pick one that suits you, for it will be your chair and only you will sit on it, normally" Sam sat in the red one, and Ivie sat in the white one,
"who's are those?"
"the gold one will more then likely be our king, the orange one is Roxy's, and the shadowy silvery one will probably be the jaguar, and the aqua one is probably Kelly's" Tay explained,
"what do you mean by our king?" Ivie asked, "and who's Kelly?"
"well the Lion is the 'king' of the jungle and animals, so the person we find who has a lion animagus and is a good leader will be our king, and if he has our powers, and Kelly's our cousin her animagus form is a cougar and she has powers and Roxy is the bobcat"
"powers?"
