Mother, Daughter Similar

Remus says quietly, "James, could you go get Sirius? I told him that I would come get him when she stopped changing but I don't want to wake her up since she looks so pain-free and peaceful."

James says, "Sure. I'll be back. After Marlene wakes up Lily and I have something that we need to announce."

Remus says, "Okay. Get going. I don't want Sirius getting mad at me for not coming to get him right after she started feeling better. I think that Athena may be the only one that will cause Sirius to willingly leave Marlene's side."

James says, "Alright." After James leaves everyone watches Athena closely.

Remus says, "Why did this have to happen to you of all the kids that are out there?" Remus turns to Dumbledore and asks, "Do you know why this happened to her?"

Dumbledore says, "I don't know. Is Sirius something that I don't know of?"

Remus says, "I don't know what you are trying to say, Professor Dumbledore."

Dumbledore says, "Fine. Keep your secrets. However, I hope that Athena doesn't suffer because of them."

Remus says, "I hope so too. But it's not my place to say. That I'll leave to Sirius to say if he wishes to."

Dumbledore says, "Fine. Don't worry, Remus. I won't ask him to tell me I will wait until he tells me himself without me prompting him into it."

Remus lets out a sigh and turns back to watching Athena who has her grey eyes open looking at him with her eyes looking soft even though their color is stormy grey and makes it look like she can look into your soul. Remus says, "Sometimes I think you can see into someone's soul because of your eyes. You seem to be wiser than you should be at the age of 1."

Athena as a wolf-pup tilts her head to the left like she wants Remus to figure out what he is asking himself.

Remus chuckles and says, "You seem to understand what I'm saying even though you only just said your first word ever today. I'm actually surprised that you didn't say your first word earlier since you showed your first signs of magic when you were not even an hour old."

Athena yips at Remus like he just figured something out. Sirius chooses that time for him to walk in with Marlene at his side.

Sirius exclaims, "What in the bloody hell happened to my daughter?"

Dumbledore says, "It looks like little Athena is an Animagus. Though how that happened I don't know."

Marlene says, "So in other words what my daughter is going through is my fault because I'm an Animagus."

Dumbledore says, "I have seen many Animagus have children and never have they been born an Animagus. Somehow you and Sirius created a daughter with the ability of being an Animagus. Marlene, what is your Animagus form?"

Marlene says, "My form is a Hawk so I don't know how she became a wolf Animagus."

Dumbledore asks, "What type of hawk is your Animagus form?"

Marlene says, "It's what's called a Red-shouldered Hawk. It is found most commonly in Mexico and the Americas."

Dumbledore says, "Would you mind changing into your Animagus form that way we can see how she reacts to it."

Marlene says, "Sure. As long as it won't cause Athena anymore harm."

Dumbledore says, "I don't think that will harm her."

Marlene says, "Okay. Sirius, you might want to back up."

Sirius says, "Okay. You're clear to go, Marlene."

Marlene says, "This is not a good time to be joking, Sirius!"

Remus says, "Just ignore Sirius, Marlene. I also want to see how this turns out."

Marlene quickly changes into her Red-shouldered Hawk form. Athena watches in her wolf form as her mother flies around and quickly she stands up if a little wobbly on her feet. She stretches her back and then she changes into a Peregrine Falcon juvenile. As a falcon she stretches her wings and then takes flight somewhat smoothly after her mother. Everyone watches Marlene and Athena do what looks like a bird dance while in flight. Marlene quickly flies back to the ground and changes back into her regular form. Athena flies down after her but she doesn't change back she sits there watching the people who care about her through eyes that can see so many different things. They suddenly hear a loud banging outside of the living room they are in. Athena all of the sudden turns into a white lioness cub with her teeth bared towards the door that the bang was outside of.

Dumbledore says, "Well, I won't be surprised if she is sorted into Gryffindor with that Animagus form."

James says, "Who is making that racket in my house?" James goes over to the door and opens it. As the door opens Peter Pettigrew falls through the door showing that he was listening in to what was going on. James says, "What are you doing, Peter?"

Peter says while stuttering, "I… was getting ready to come back in."

Remus says to Athena, "Easy, Athena, it's just Peter being himself. You are alright."

Athena tilts her head to the right and makes a growling noise that sounds like she is asking if he was sure. Athena turns her head back to the door and waddles over to it with Remus and Sirius following her. As she gets to the door she looks out and lets out a combination of a roar and squeak.

Sirius laughs and says, "Athena, you are funny."

Athena turns to her father and glares at him.

Sirius quickly takes a step back and says, "Okay. Sorry girl. I didn't mean to offend you."

Remus lets out a loud laugh and says, "Sorry, Sirius. But that is funny. You seemed to be scared of your own daughter."

Sirius says, "You should try having her glare at you as a lioness. It's bloody scary."

Marlene says, "Sirius, language! She is only a year old! I don't want her to start cursing all of the time like you do."

Sirius says, "Sorry, love."
