Chapter 3
the prophecy
"powers?"
"yes, me 'n' Te here can talk to any animal we want to so nature I guess you could say, the powers will probably be elements, Lils still has to find hers. See there is this prophecy that 9 young people who have wild cat animagus will meet up in this room, we will protect those in need and help bring the fall of Voldomort" Ivie and Sam didn't flinch good sign, "since you didn't flinch it points more to the fact that you will be the next two to join us the cheetah and the Lynx and we will only need the jaguar, the lion, and maybe the cougar if it's no Kell"
"wait that's 8 I thought there was 9?"
"there is Roxy is our bobcat"
"what are her and Kelly's powers?"
"well Kelly as far as we can tell is earth, Roxy has the power of ice and water, she can control water make snow so on, but more snow, Ivie you might share her power like me and Te do, have you ever made something happen when you feel strong emotions or wand less magic like when we are younger and don't have our wands only now we have are wands and there elemental outbursts?"
"yes actually, when the marauders were picking on us once I was so mad but I was trying to stop Lily and Sam from leaping on them and Te wasn't there, then all of a sudden they were all socked Lily, Sam, and the marauders and I was the only on dry"
"I remember that, that was cold!" Sam said shivering, "so that was you huh, well I think mine is air cause once when I fell off my broom the wind kinda picked me up and put me on the ground it's happened a couple times but only when people aren't there which is normally when I screw up cause its hard to magic quaffles at you and try to save them" the others nodded,
"I think whoever the jagaur is, is earth, and the king will be fire but what about you Lil's" Tay asked,
"what if I say fire slightly?"
"WHAT!"
"yeah I've lit a few things on fire when I'm angry and I think I might have a bit of each, I've put the fire's out that I've started, when I train with Te and I fall off the wind helps me and I've always had a connection to animals"
"you know that all most makes sense" Te said to herself, "the tiger is supposed to me the strongest and you are the tiger Lil"
"but maybe you were all unconsciously helping me minus the fire"
"that could be it after all you are the 'queen' even if your not dating the 'king'"
"ok well away from me" I interrupted, "lets get them to change they should be able to do it be cause we all got in a day and it's because of what we are"
"what exactly are we?" Sam asked,
"we are the cat people I guess slash elementals, ok anyways try, focus on your animal think of the way it will feel to be a lynx, cheetah" slowly they began to change then they finally did it after 3 hours, "good job stay like that and we'll change too" I changed into my black and white tiger with my emerald green eyes, Te into her black leopard with her green brown eyes, and Tay into her black panther with her green blue eyes, Ivie is a dark silvery brown colour with her eyes (smoky blue eyes), and Sam is a normal looking cheetah with her dark, dark blue eyes.

You guys all look like your tattoos
That was the point
Do we get tattoos now
Yes if that's ok with Ivie well you don't really have a choice but we forgot to tell you only other cat/elementals can see your tattoo so you can't show it off so we already know you were part of us, and the fact that the drink worked
What do you mean?
The drink would of knocked you out if you hadn't of been one of us
Well that's nice to know
Hehe sorry
It's ok
Yeah
Ok you guys now you get to pick the bed that has the colour on it like this one is mine and I jumped up on a emerald green platform with a bed on it,
And this one's mine she jumped on the purple one next to me one next to me on a different wall (2 per wall Lily shares with the aqua one, most likely Kelly),
Mine and Te jumped to the midnight blue one next to Tay on the same wall,
Well mines next to the orange one that's that Roxy person and the white one that's you Ivie and your next to the shadowy one which is next to the gold one which is next to Lily which is next to the aqua one that you said might be Te's and Tayli's cousin, which is next Tayli which is next to Te which is next to that Roxy person who is next to me and I can start all over again to…
Sam I think they get they've been here longer then us
Right
You guys we have to think of names well we are in this form because there are other animagus and if we talk near them and say our real names and they know us, we'll be in trouble
Mine is already Anarane
Mine is Earane
Mine is Eneyla, and Roxy is Valanina
Ivie you can be Finduilas it's your name in Elvish and Sam you can be Melawen then all our names will be our names only Elvish
Sounds good
Yeah ok
Hey those names are the names you said to get us in here
Your right it's because are names in elvish allow us to enter if we didn't know them and if you weren't the ones you wouldn't have gotten in
Really?
Yes
Oh ok then
Will we always have to say all are names to get in?
No because when we have all of us we can just say 'Ainariel' which will be the password
What does it mean?
It means 'the cats' in elvish which is what we are, but do really want to be known as the cats or 'Ainariel'?
Ainaril
But it will only work if we all her until then you have to use your name then I turned back and laid down, "wake me up in a hour would ya?"
"sure" Tay said smirking, she had turned back to so had the others,
"Te make sure she doesn't do anything and if she does threaten to get Rox please" she nodded, "thanks" and I fell asleep.
"when do we get tattoos?" Sam asked,
"come here, I read this in a book about the 'Ainariel' it this spell that brings out your animal and puts it into a landscape that suits you like mine is in the trees, and Te's is over the water, and Lils is in a desert, I like climbing trees and heights, were Te likes being in water and heights, and Lils is the heat for some odd reason, maybe it's the fire power? If she has it, and the open she doesn't like hiding stuff even if she does, Roxy's is her bobcat on a snowing hill under the moon like the rest of us, Kell's I haven't seen cause were not sure yet we still have to do this spell for her, hers will probably be here on rocky mountain she loves mountain climbing, all are animals suit us, not that leopard are known for there liking of water but whatever come here" she said the spell to them and the picture started to appear on there backs, Sam's is a Cheetah laying in front of a den under the moon, and Ivie's is of a lynx laying in a field with flowers and a small pond. "there all done, there nice, whatcha think Te?" Te nodded,
"there nice and make sense, Sam is keeper so she protects stuff must be why she's so good at it, it's in her nature, and Ivie definitely sweet just like you and it shows your openness, when you open up" Te smiled at her, she smiled back, "ok should we wake Lils up or have fun with her"
"no you heard what she said she'll set Roxy after you, wouldn't want that now would you?"
"nope definitely not, and I have a feeling it's not a empty threat"
"why wouldn't you want Roxy after you?" Ivie asked,
"oh Rox is great, good fashion sense, so does Lils and me but whatever, Roxy is Lils distant cousin or something like that there related, well you probably heard of her she's a Hufflepuff"
"Hufflepuff?" Sam asked looking at her strangely,
"yes well she should have been a Slytherin or a Gryffindor if not that, sure she's as loyal as hell and sweet when she wants to be, she's not like your normal blond ditz's no she has long black hair about as long as Lils, so light blue eyes they almost look clear, pale skin with a few freckles, she has a black tattoo on her lower stomach off to the right plus her bobcat one, her belly pierced, and her signature is a cat collar necklace, and is not afraid to beat the shit out of you so I try to stay on Lil's good side cause her and Rox are close and Rox will probably go after me if I do something to Lils, same would happen if something happened to Te" Tayli finished,
"what and she's a Hufflepuff?" Sam asked,
"I know who your talking about, I didn't know Lily had any magical relatives"
"it's just her and Roxy, like I said she's very distantly related, like there great-great grandma's were twins, and you know what's weird?" they shook there heads, "Rox and Lils are born 3 minutes apart, but on different days Rox on the 20 of march and Lils the 21"
"really weird, like twins" Sam said quietly,
"yup we practically are, you should see us standing next to each other, only she's black hair blue eyes and I'm red hair green eyes other then we're identical" I had woken up and heard Tay telling them why she was afraid to have Rox after her,
"hey Lil" they all said together, "she's right though they look identical except for that" Tay continued
"hi, I think you should meet Rox" she then went into a sort of trance then snapped out of it, she saw the others looking at her funny, "what we can talk telepathically, she'll be here in a few minutes" a few minutes later Rox came threw a different door the one we had used this one led to a hall with the same portrait on it, "hey Rox, this is Sam and Ivie, you guys this is Rox"
"hey, sup so you guys are 2 more to the group what animal?"
"cheetah"
"lynx"
"really lynx? Do you have water powers?" Rox asked excitedly to Ivie, she nodded, "really? Yes!" she started to jump around like a little girl and ran an hugged Ivie which looked kind of funny from a girl in a black off the shoulder top and black cargo pants and black army boots, "this is so cool we can do water stuff now and drag Te with us she's always for water stuff, can I see your tattoos" she looked at them then showed them hers,
"you guys we still have to find out who the lion is, and jaguar, and to make sure Kell is the cougar and we can do that over Christmas break but you all have to come over" Te said seriously, "and we should start training it might be fun"
"ok" we all replied, I went to the punching bag, Tay brought Sam to a mat that we used for martial arts, and started to teach Sam some patterns, Rox took Ivie to a room that is provided for helping the water powers, it was labeled with a water drop and a snowflake, Te went into the nature training room, marked with a forest and a lake, after I was done, "Tay show Sam the Air room see if she can get into it, if she can then go to your own" the Air room was marked off by a swirling wind that you see in drawings and a twister, you can only get in the rooms for your powers, I haven't tried any only Te, Tay, and Rox have because they were sure of there powers, when they had gone to there rooms I headed for the Fire room the only room besides the earth one, that didn't have anyone in it I went to the door with a flame on it and opened it, I stepped inside and I wasn't thrown out like I had seen the Earth room do to Tay she then figured out that it wasn't earth but nature, we had come over one summer after we had found out what we were, we asked Dumbledor who gave us the book and permitted Tay to come to the school, that was when they had found out which room was theirs, I hadn't bothered but focused on my physical strength, now I entered the fire room and wasn't thrown out so my powers are fire, I left the room to go to the Earth room, I opened the door marked off with a rock and sand, I tried to walk in but I couldn't, I turned around to go to my bed when I noticed a door that wasn't marked off, I walked over to the door and opened it, I t wasn't a stair case and I wasn't thrown out, must be another power room but what? And why do I have it? I left the room, so my powers are fire and whatever that power room is for how is that possible? We have to get Kell here or go to her, I walked out of the room and went over to the nature room and knocked, Te and Tay poked there heads out, "I'm going to go see Dumbledor to see if we can get Kell to floo over for a couple hours" they nodded, I left threw the door Rox had come through then walked to Dumbledor's office, "ice mice" and went up the stairs and knocked on the door,
"come in" I walked in, "Miss Evans"
"professor Dumbledor, I have a request of you" he nodded, "it is for the 'Ainariel' we need Te and Tayli Elm's cousin Kelly Elm from Beauxbatons for a couple hours she may be the cougar"
"yes of course" he walked over to the fireplace, and called someone talked for a bit, "Miss Elm will be here in a short will" almost as soon as he said that Kelly appeared, she is not tall but not short, and slender with dark brown hair to her shoulders and brown eyes,
"hey Lil"
"hey Kell" we hugged, "come on" she followed me to the entrance and down the stairs, she knows all about us because we thought she was one, "Kell we have to see if you're the cougar"
"ok, where's Te and Tay and is Roxy here"
"there all here even the lynx and the cheetah"
"really? That means we only need the jaguar and lion, oh my god, oh my god" I went to the Nature room knocked then went to the Water room then the Air room everyone came out to meet the newcomer,
"Sam, Ivie this Kelly Elm, Te and Tay's cousin and possibly the cougar, Kell this is Sam and Ivie"
"hi"
"hey!"
"hi, what are you?"
"I'm the cheetah and she's the lynx" Kell nodded,
"well lets do it" Tay said getting the potion, she gave it to Kell who didn't pass out, "good sign" she then said the spell, Kell pulled up her shirt we saw a cougar laying on a rocky mountain under the moon, "yes we've found the cougar!" we all started to cheer,
"what colour Kell" Te asked,
"aqua"
"your beside me then" I said,
"party time!" Tay yelled jumping up,
"not yet we have to make sure she's Earth" I led her to the Earth room and she opened the door and stepped in nothing happened, "she is, but what about Lils?"
"I'm fire for sure"
"great now we have at least one for each, I wonder what the jaguar and lion are going to be"
"probably either Earth, Air, or Fire"
"your probably right, lets go to bed it's 10:00 and we have class tomorrow, Kell has to get back to Beauxbatons, and Rox has to go back to her common room" Te said to us,
"a lot has happened in a day" Sam murmured, we all nodded,
"I'll take Kell to Dumbledor's office, and Rox you might want to go in bobcat form" she nodded, Kell followed me out of the door, "do want to go in our forms? We'll get there quicker and not get caught"
"sure sounds like fun" we changed, and trotted to Dumbledor's office,
"bye Kell"
"bye Lily" she went to the fireplace and flood to Beauxbatons, I walked back to Gryffindor common room and changed back before I got to the portrait entrance, "the Griffie den" I walked in and up to my dorm, Te, Sam, Ivie, and Tay were already waiting for me, "Roxy gone already?" they nodded, I walked over to my trunk and pulled out my silk emerald green night gown, Te and Tay were in similar gowns only midnight blue and Purple,
"I've always liked those night gowns" Ivie said quietly,
"want one?" I asked, her and Sam nodded, "Tay got one for every colour there was in the den same colours to" I grabbed the red and the white one and tossed them to Sam and Ivie, "should we send Kell hers?"
"yes! Elpine!" Tay yelled, my owl flew threw the open widow,
"hey that's my owl!"
"well I'm borrowing her, take this to Kell" she passed the aqua coloured night gown to El and she took off,
"does Roxy have one?" Sam asked,
"ya she helped design them, Tay didn't wan them this practical"
"what?"
"well Tayli wanted them to them to be long with slits up to the mid thigh, a very deep neck and so on, they agreed to the short slit and having slightly deep neck, and the spaghetti straps" Te told them, they nodded, Tay just stuck her tongue out at us,
"come on lets go to bed" Ivie said and crawled into her bed, "goodnight"
"night"
"night night"
"g'night"
"nighty night" we all fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up to a cold soaking wet bed, "ahhh! Cold! Who did it?"
"that would be me" Sam said laughing,
"hey I helped" Tay said pouting, I pulled out my wand, "run!" they ran out of the room with me chasing them of course we were all still in our night gowns and got a few looks, "help us! She's mad!" Tay yelled,
"ya I'm mad, I just woke up freezing and soaking wet! I think I'll set you on fire or get Roxy after you, or just hex to next week" I was pulling my wand out again when someone grabbed my arms from behind, it was Potter,
"calm down Evans"
"he's right you know Lily" Te said walking up to us, she was also still in her night gown and I noticed Remus's eyes didn't leave her, ok so plan get Te and Remus together might not be needed,
"there both right leave us alone" Tay said stinking her tongue out at me,
"fine" I relaxed and Potter let go of me, I pounced on Tay like the tiger I am and started tickling her and whispered in her ear, "look at your sister and Remus" she looked, and answered me as much as she could through her laughs,
"do you think we still have to the plan?"
"yes knowing Te"
"ok can you….please get off now?" I stood up, and turned to the people watching us,
"I have gotten my revenge you can go now" I looked at the marauders pointedly but Remus was to interested in Te and Black in Tay and Potter in me…wait in me! And Pettigrew was no where to be found, "ok we're going now bye" I walked up the stairs and the others followed,
"Tay did you see how Black was looking at you? I told you I was right"
"no!" I nodded my head,
"well did you see Potter?"
"yeah"
"I think he likes you" Sam said suddenly, I shook my head,
"it was because we are all in our night gowns" they all shook there heads then went to find their uniforms,
"why do we have to wear uniforms?" Tay asked us,
"I don't know, I guess it's so we don't wear something inappropriate" Ivie suggested,
"maybe" we put on our cloths then our robes, then went down to breakfast. We had just started eating when the marauders sat down near us, or should I say Remus sat next to Te, Black next to Tay, Potter next to me, and Pettigrew next to Ivie and Sam,
"nice night things" Black said as he sat down, we just rolled are eyes, that was so Black,
"why thank you Black" Tay said flirtatiously,
"great she's having a ditz's day" Te whispered in my ear, we giggled a bit, Tay shot us a look, we went back to eating trying not to laugh, well Sam and Ivie just looked at Tay like she was crazy, then they started talking about something.
"so Tayli you play quidditch?"
"yeah chaser"
"cool I'm beater, what's your favorite team?"
"Holyhead Harpies"
"really? Me too" Sam said butting into the conversation, "I think it's great that it's all girls"
"they're my favorite too" I said joining in "then it's the Appleby Arrows"
"I like the Falmouth Falcons" Black told us,
"I like the Montrose Magpies" Potter said,
"I think I know why, it's because they always have the best seekers right?" Sam asked him,
"pretty much"
"I don't have a favorite" Remus told us, Ivie nodded,
"same" Pettigrew said, we talked about quidditch for a bit then headed for Transfiguration, not my favorite lesson, but Te's and Potter's favorite I thought sarcastically, we then had charms, which is my best class, we went to lunch,
"Tay what do you have?"
"care of magical creatures" we all nodded, at least the 3 out of the 4 marauders didn't go to that one, they had divination, "then I have ancient runes"
"me and Te to" I told her,
"Ivie and me have muggle studies." We set to class, at CMC (care of magical creatures) we we're learning a bout unicorns and the professor had a mother and her foal for us to see, her told the boys to stay back and asked for a volunteer from the girls, I put my had up strait away it was normally me or Te who went first so no one was surprised,
"ok now miss Evans walk slowly to the mothers head and careful of the horn pet her head gently and speak quietly, I walked up to her and stopped and raised my hand,
"may I pet you?"
yes
"how can I hear you?" I asked her shocked, I walked closer and petted her,
I do not know you can understand me and I you
"what is your name and your foals?"
I am Aoife and my foal is Chaya
"I'm Lily Evans"
hello
"hi"
why are we here?
"your here because my class is learning about unicorns"
really, will they hurt my baby?
"no, they'll probably only look at you and maybe some might pet you"
alright I turned back to the class, "well done miss Evans, now I will send you up in 5 groups, I will number you right now, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … now 1's go over to miss Evans 2's to miss Holly, 3's to miss Elm, 4's Mr. Lupin, and 5's to Mr. Thomson" my group has me, Tay, Roxy (we take this class with the Hufflepuffs) and Amos Diggery a tall blond Hufflepuff.
"hey Lil" Tay and Rox said together,
"hi" Amos said to everyone, and I just nodded, I pulled Tay and Rox to the side,
"you guys I could talk to that unicorn and her foal"
"so I can to" Tay said totally missing the point,
"Tay your part elf and you powers are nature"
"right, that's weird, what do think Rox?" Rox looked up at her name,
"Lil can you take with other animals?" I shook my head,
"so far only her, but I can when we're in form, but all of us can do that, so no"
"then I don't know maybe you have a connection to magical creatures"
"maybe… I found another door"
"really where? I haven't seen any" Tay said getting all excited,
"it's by my riser, it's green with nothing on it and I can get into to"
"cool, must be your power… or other power" Rox said correcting herself,
"that means you have two, I don't think anyone has two or ever has, it doesn't say anything like that in the book" Tay said matter of factly, she maybe a not so smart person but when it came to books she remembers almost everything she reads, "ok well off of you Lils I have an idea to find our jaguar and king"
"how?"
"we just go out every night from sunset to around dawn but going in shifts, we all go out at sunset but at midnight four of us go in and get some sleep then after 2 hours two of us come back out and they go to sleep, then at 4 another 2 come out and the people before get some sleep, that way we wont be to tired for classes"
"good idea Tayli" Rox said nodding,
"group 1 go up" the professor called, we walked up to the unicorns, Aoife lets us pet her but only let Roxy, because we explained to Aoife about the Ainariel, she had heard of us too and had bowed, Tay, and me pet Chaya. Aoife and Tay talked for awhile and with Chaya silently so not look suspicion. After class we split up Roxy, Te, Tay, and me to Ancient Runes and the others to Muggle Studies. Class was the usual, after we put our books away and agreed to meet in the room after dinner, as we were walking out of the hall I saw a gryffindor boy in our year meet up with a Slytherin girl in the same year, that was odd most gryffidors and slytherins made it there duty to hate each other no make that practucaly all except a few me being one of them, I just thought it was stupid so did Te, but I do hate that they're prejustesed against muggle borns, the gryffindor boy Ric Norsewood actually happened to be the other beater on the quidditch team and a good friend of hers and Sam's and Te's and the girl Jasmine Meali was know to be really odd and mysterious and not get along with people but here she was talking to a gryffindor, I shook my head and walked away.
