Harry felt happy. Not happy like when he got his revenge on the Dursleys, or when he learned about magic, or even when he got Hedwig (although that was a close second). The feeling of his first kiss filled him with a sense of overwhelming joy. In all honesty, Harry never thought that anyone would ever love him, but now he felt that he had a chance. However, Harry soon became worried over the fact he was a Xenomorph. Could she really love a monster like him? Would she be willing to become a monster like him some day?

Feeling overwhelmed with these thoughts, Harry decided to go for a nightly run. He ran for a bit and then found a small clearing where he decided to lay back and ponder his worries under the night sky when he heard a voice, "So, how are things going for you?" Harry jumped up into the tree behind him and hissed before realizing who it was, Lady Magic. Harry jumped down from the tree and morphed back into his normal self and apologized.

"No, it's quite alright. I thought it was quite funny." She said chuckling a bit at Harry's embarrassment.

"So, what brings you here?"

"I told you I would visit on occasion to make sure you were doing well. Now I'll ask again,

"Well, I've been put into Gryffindor. As you can see, I haven't exactly been staying in the tower all night."

"Like going for moonlit runs through the woods, do you?"

"Yeah, in a weird way, it helps me remember I'm no longer in that cupboard anymore."

"Anything else going on at school?"

"Well, something happened today."

"What?"

"I… kissed a girl."

"Really? When? How was it? How well do you know her? Is she in your house?"

"Couldn't you just read my mind and find out?"

"Yes, but where would the fun be in that? Now details! What's her name?"

"Parvati Patil, she's in Gryffindor, same year as me."

"So, what was it like?"

"It was short, but it felt," Harry paused looking for the right word.

"Magical?"

"Yeah! She's smart, but also fun, we get along great. After we kissed, she asked me to be her boyfriend and I said yes."

"Being a bit hasty in getting a girl don't you think?"

"Am I?"

"You're young, you have seven years of Hogwarts, make the most of your time, but don't get overzealous."

"I was worrying about something though."

"What?"

"Would anyone be willing to be with me once they find out what I am?"

"When someone truly loves you, it doesn't matter what you are, but remember there's no rush. However, just in case, I want you to look up memory charms. So, is there anything else that's happened?"

Harry told her about the Chamber he'd found underneath the school and the Sanctum within, as well as his classes so far. She seemed to enjoy the conversation until Harry mentioned the previous evening. To say she was angry was an understatement. She told harry the effect unicorn blood has on whoever drinks it and warned Harry against the man. With that said Hecate disappeared leaving Harry to think over what they had discussed. He decided he needed to sleep on it and headed back to the common room.

He crawled up to Gryffindor Tower and entered through the window to find Fred and George in the common room. Staring right at him with a look of fear in their eyes as they reached for their wands. Harry quickly turned back into himself.

"Don't it's me!"

The twins were amazed, horrified, and full of questions. They were amazed at how Harry had apparently already obtained his Animagus form at such a young age. Horrified, because the shear look of the form was the stuff of nightmares, and curious because they had never seen a creature like it before.

"That was awesome!" both the twins exclaimed, "When and how did you become an Animagus?" Fred asked.

"I used an alternative method I found in a book from my family vault to find my form about a week before school started." Harry responded, 'That's a believable excuse, right? I mean there had to have been some way of becoming an Animagus before the test they perform now was invented.'

"So, you've been sneaking out every night by climbing out the window as a… What even was that?"

"Yes, and I'm not sure." Harry lied, "How did you two know I have been leaving the tower?

"Should we tell him, George?"

"I think we should, Fred.", and with that Fred pulled out a piece of parchment from his robes and handed it to Harry.

"What's this rubbish?" Harry asked looking down at the pieces of empty parchment.

"'What's this rubbish?' he says. That there is the secret to our success." Fred said before pulling out his wand saying, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." After saying those words ink filled the page.

"Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present the Marauder's Map."

"We owe them so much." George said, "The map shows where everyone in the castle is at any given time."

"Brilliant! Where'd you get it?"

"Nicked it from Filch's Office First Year, and we've been using it ever since. So, we noticed your name vanish from the tower last night, and decided to camp out here in the common room after we knew you left and catch you returning."

"You won't tell anyone will you?"

"Harry," Fred feigned a hurt expression, "I'm hurt you'd think we'd stop someone from breaking the rules."

"We're not going to tell, but maybe someday you can tell us how you managed to get your form, eh?" Harry and the twins talked a bit more about what they had been doing with the map and showed Harry how to return the map to its original state. The twins kept the map but said that if Harry ever needed to use it to cause a little mischief, he had to invite them in on the fun. Soon after their talking, Harry went to bed to rest.
