I'm baack! My holiday was great, but there was no internet at all! What kind of camp is that? Anyway, the was a minor glitch with my updating, the alerts didn't go out as I updated, but (hopefully) now its fixed! I really hope that you enjoy this chapter, it will answer a question lots of people had about Ginny and to one of my reviewers, I know the 150th ep was season 5 but to fit with my story i just changed when Piper was pregnant. Imagine she wasn't in the ep (I know that's what Paige says to her but imagine something else, like they were still trying for one ok?) Enough with my rambling, ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
The potion is nearly ready and the people to take it are too. Wonder what is going to happen, hmm?
Chapter 4: Animagus Potion and Transformations
Kinetic Tower Attic…
The rest of the week had gone smoothly. Hermione had added the last of the ingredients and skipped dinner to watch the potion. Harry and Ron had made an excuse for her, which Ginny didn't buy entirely, but seemed to accept it. At 5:03 that evening, the potion turned murky brown. Hermione grinned widely as she waited until 5:15 when Harry and Ron said that they would be arriving with Piper, Phoebe and Paige. Those 12 minutes were some of the slowest of her life, and it was when they arrived that she realised that she had been breathing very shallowly.
"Potion done then?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded. She conjured 6 glasses.
Yes. Where's Leo?" She asked Piper.
"He didn't feel like coming. He said he wasn't to keen on the idea of doing something so illegal."
Ron snorted. "Really? I think it's a great idea, becoming an Animagus. You can get away from fights easier, its fun to do and not to mention, you get to hang around with a fully grown werewolf once a month."
"Ron please, don't start. Now, there is more than enough here, we made a bigger batch in case any was spilled. I'll measure it out now, could you conjure some mattresses. We need to be comfortable for at least an hour. That's the sleep which is a side effect. When we wake from it, we'll be in our forms." Hermione was carefully measuring out the potion with a magical measurer. Piper and Paige were transfiguring some of the furniture, like chairs, into mattresses and a huge cover to go over it.
"We'll be able to stay in it for as long as we want and when we want to turn back we just have to think of our human forms. The same for turning into the animal after this, we have to think of the animal and poof. I'd recommend less than an hour anyway. We may have our animal's minds for the first few minutes, but then we'll be able to override the animal and be in control." Hermione had finished measuring and was now taking her shoes and outer robes off, Ron and Harry doing the same. Piper, Phoebe and Paige were in baggy clothes and took their shoes off. Phoebe saw a flash of purple and spun around. Nothing was there. She shook her head and moved towards Hermione.
"Now, if we take this together, we'll wake up at the same time." She gave a glass to everyone, who then sat in a circle. "We'll take it at 20 past. That way, we'll know what time it is when we wake up, as there isn't a clock on the wall." Hermione looked at her watch. "Any last questions?"
A chorus of 'No' went around and she looked back at her watch. "Well, bottoms up." Everyone raised their glasses to their lips and swallowed the murky brown liquid inside. They place their glasses at the side and a wave of dizziness came over them. Their heads hit the mattress gently, as they had been preparing for the shock.
A figure came out of an invisibility cloak and smiled at them. Ginny walked over to the potion and took out her own glass. She filled it with the same amount of potion she watched Hermione put in and removed her purple cloak. She seated herself next to Harry and downed the potion. She had just enough time to place her glass down before she fell to the mattress too.
For the next hour, if any one was watching, they would have seen 7 people sleeping, until it reached the 45 minute mark. Then, bodies started to morph into new shapes. Fur and feathers started to grow, bodies grew smaller, claws and tails grew. Soon, there were 7 full grown animals laying on the mattress instead of 7 humans.
Somewhere else in the castle, a man consulted his watch. The transformation should be finished soon. He walked through the castle to arrive at Kinetic Tower. He gave the password and by the time the portrait had swung open completely, he had transformed into the familiar cat and bounded up the stairs to meet the newest Animagi of the castle.
Up 'There' was a familiar face looking down, smiling. Soon, they would be reunited. 2 months, that was it. Smiling, a wave of a hand cleared the Window to Earth and they departed from the room.
In the Kinetic's attic, animals were starting to wake. A blonde dog opened her eyes, looking around at the surroundings. She was surrounded by other animals, an owl, lions and a small cat. She growled at it, making the cat's eyes to open with a start. She barked and the cat meowed, running away from the barking dog. This managed to awaken the other animals. A puma shook his red fur and cocked his head at the lynx next to him. Her fur was a dark grey, but her eyes were a gorgeous brown. A lion lolled his tongue out at the lioness, who yawned and looked away. The owl flapped her wings and flew above them all. This continued for a few moments until the humans inside took control again. The owl landed.
'Ok, that is so damn cool.' Paige commented in animal speech, admiring her new wings.
'Sorry I tried to eat you Piper.' Phoebe sat down and let her tongue hang out.
'It's fine. I think I was about to claw your nose anyway.' Piper sat her cat form down next to Phoebe, watching the other animals. This was when she noticed something strange. 'When we fell asleep, there were only 6 of us. Now there are 7. Who's the trespasser?'
'Not me.' Harry the lion said.
'Or me.' Puma Ron told them.
'Well, its not me, so that just leaves…' Hermione's lynx form jumped away from the lioness who gave a grin, if a lioness can even do that.
'You guys, I'm hurt. Don't even recognise me.' Ginny said, sitting down. Everyone else's jaws fell as far as they could go.
'GINNY!?!' They shouted together.
Sorry, I'm gonna leave it there. Don't worry, I won't leave it long until my next update. Probs only a few hours so get your reviews in quick! And the cat is NOT DRACO!!! I Have to make that point clear, ok?
