Part three of this huge chapter. I really hope you like it. I loved writing it.
Chapter 8: And They Call It Puppy Love
Last Time…
"So with the transformation, you take a Wolfsbane potion, right?" Piper asked Remus.
"Yeah. It lets me keep my human mind in the wolf's body. Still bloody painful though."
"Well, I was thinking, maybe I can add something to the potion that will dull the pain too." Remus' eyes widened.
"Really? You can do that?" He asked.
Piper smiled. "I can try. But I won't be able to get it done until next full moon. I might even be able to make it a permanent potion, so it will activate on each full moon but you only have to take it once."
"Is that even possible?" Remus asked.
"Well, I can make it possible. Any friend of Lily and James is a friend of ours."
"And maybe more than a friend." Sirius muttered under his breath, looking at Phoebe.
Godric's Hollow…
"Phoebe, would I be able to talk to you for a minute?" Sirius asked. The Kinetics and Paige were talking privately and Piper, Leo, Lily and James were talking.
"Yeah sure." He led her out of the room. They ended up in the library. "So, what's up?"
"Well, it's just, I heard about the Halloween ball, and I was wondering if you had any one to go with yet?" He asked, slightly nervous.
"No not yet. Why, are you asking me on a date, Mr Black?" She said in a seductive tone.
Sirius grinned. "Why yes my lady, yes I am. I've been trying to figure something out about you. Ever since I met you in August, I feel like I'm drawn to you."
Phoebe thought back to when she first met Sirius. She finally figured out what it was about him. "I felt the same way. I've been trying to figure out why I felt that way since then."
Sirius grinned even more. "And it might have something to do with our Animagi forms." Phoebe looked confused and cocked her head slightly. "When two people are soul mates, their Animagi forms will be the same of similar."
Phoebe gasped slightly but not loud enough that Sirius heard her. Then she smiled. "I wonder if Harry and Ginny know that."
"And Piper and Leo. I know that Lily and James know, because me and James were the ones who found the book that said it. Although, when we went to get it just after graduation, the page with it on was ripped out."
"Wonder why it was just that page." Phoebe wondered out loud.
"The million galleon question. James, Remus and I have been trying to figure that out since we discovered it was gone."
"Well, maybe it will turn up soon. Or we could get Paige to orb it to her." Phoebe suggested. "Was it anything important?"
"Not really. Me and James know what it says but it would be nice to re-read it. There were some interesting things about soul powers, twin powers if you like."
"And what, pray tell, were these powers like?" Phoebe asked.
"Powers that connected them. Telepathy, but only between themselves, Empathy, feeling what the other is feeling or the ability to travel to where the other one is." Sirius explained. "But a couple can only receive these powers when they have become Animagi. But I can't remember how rare they are, if most people have them of just like 1 in a 1000."
"So why do you need this paper, if you can remember all of that?" Phoebe asked him.
"Because I can't remember all of it. That is basically clip notes version." Sirius told her.
"There you are!" Harry appeared in front of them. "We wondered where you went to."
"We were just talking." Sirius defended him and Phoebe.
"Right." Harry didn't believe him for one moment. "Well, are you going to rejoin us?"
"Yes. Don't think you can get away with patronising your godfather Harry. I am a Marauder."
"I'm scared, not. Now come on." The three of them walked back into the room.
Later, at Kinetic Tower…
The visit had taken another hour as they were all talking about the upcoming Halloween costume ball. Lily, James, Sirius and Remus had all been invited by Dumbledore, and Sirius had already asked Phoebe, Remus asked Paige. Leo would be going in his army uniform, Piper, Phoebe and Paige would be wearing 17th century dresses, like Piper and Phoebe had with Prue when they had been sent back to that time, Sirius would be going as Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, apparently he had seen the movie but no one knew when (Harry and Ginny suspected it was in Godric's Hollows electrical room while they were away at Hogwarts), Remus was going in traditional 17th century clothing, so to match Paige's outfit, and Lily and James were going as Rose and Jack from Titanic. Ron and Hermione were going as Antony and Cleopatra and Harry and Ginny's costumes were secret to everyone except Lily. Apparently, Ginny had already got her outfit, with a little help from Lily, and she would find the outfit for Harry before the full moon.
Oh my God, I am so disappointed with myself. My shortest chapter yet. But still, next few chapters, the full moon. Yayness! And please tell me what you think of Sirius going as Jack Sparrow. I think that he would make such a great Jack, but then again, Johnny Depp would have made a great Sirius Black, don't you think? Or am I just rambling on a bit?
