So in the next few weeks, say good bye to it and hello to newer and better stories XP. Here is the Disclaimer

It was the next morning and the Golden Trio plus Padfoot entered the Great Hall. They saw Draco Malfoy entertaining his housemates by pretending to faint. He only stopped when Padfoot growled at them and tried to go over there but Harry grabbed the large dog's bandana. The Gryffindors made their way to their table and proceeded to eat some breakfast. George passed them their new schedules before asking what was wrong with Harry, ignoring Pansy Parkinson's lame joke. "Malfoy that's what." Fred and George glowered before telling the teens what the blonde git did when the dementor came to their end of the train.
Padfoot wasn't listening, he went to a group of first years, recognizing the first year girl from last night. "Oh! Hello again. How are you this morning?" asked the girl. Sirius barked and wagged his tail, getting his owner's attention. The girl laughed and gave Padfoot some bacon, much to his joy. Harry sat down next to the girl. "hello, I'm Harry. You are?" The brown haired girl blushed. "I'm Kathy." The green eyed boy smiled at her. "And I take it you know Padfoot already." The shy girl nodded, blushing. "Y-Yes. Last night I needed to use the bathroom and he took me to the nearest one. He left to go use the toilet too I guess and I was cornered by a Slytherin prefect."
Hermione, who came with Ron, narrowed her eyes. "Did the prefect do anything?" Kathy shook her head "no". "Padfoot came back and scared him off. After that he brought me back to the Common Room and tucked me into bed." She gave Padfoot a pat on the head, which made the dog lick her hand. That's when a light bulb went off in Harry's head. "You know Kathy, when I'm in Potions Padfoot will need someone to watch him. Do you think you can watch him for me?" Kathy looked at him with wide eyes. "I can?" Harry smiled and nodded, making the young girl hug him around his waist. "I'll make sure he's on his best behavior!" Kathy soon rushed off with her friends to tell them the good news.
Ron looked at his best friend. "Mate, why did you say that?" Harry took a bite of eggs, "Well, knowing Snape there will be no way in hell that I can have Padfoot in the same room. Besides, who knows what the fumes from the potions would do to him?" Hermione began buttering some toast, "Touché Harry." Ron and Harry looked confused. "Touché?" "Its French. For good point." that seemed to satisfy the boys and they finished their food...

The three Gryffindors panted as they headed to the North Tower, Padfoot ahead of them. He woofed at them to get a move on, making Ron wave a fist at the convict in disguise. "W-Where, wheeze, does your dog get his energy?" panted Hermione. Padfoot bounded back to them and began pushing them in the right direction. "Trust me Hermione if I knew I would be sciphoning off some myself." Harry said, hanging onto one of the railing that lined the stair case they were on. Pafoot barked at them, harry flipped him off. "We will move when we catch our breath Padfoot!" The large dog huffed and sat down, glaring at them.
They soon arrived at the North Tower, seeing that they were the last to arrive. Harry went up to the trap door on the cieling and read off the name. "Sybill Trelawney. Divination teacher." Padfoot mentally frowned, 'Trelawney? Where have I heard that name before?' Pafoot's train of thought was stopped when a silvery ladder landed on his head. He yelped in pain, making Harry rush over to his dog. "Padfoot! Are you okay?" The huge dog saw stars before shaking his head to clear it. That's when the incense from the room above hit Padfoot's nose.
The animagus felt sick as the scent hit his nose with a burning force. "Padfoot! What's wrong?" Harry began to worry about his dog, until Hermione figured it out. "Harry! The scent from the room. Its hitting Padfoot's sensitive nose!" Ron begas using his robes to waft fresh air towards the huge beast. "Best if we get him out of here mate. Padfoot! Go find Kathy!" said the redhead. Padfoot got to his feet, wobbily and began descending to find his new friend. Harry watched with his heart heavy, before going to Divination...

Sirius found Kathy in Transfiguration with Minnie. McGonagall looked at the large dog before going back to her lesson. Padfoot layed down at Kathy's feet, loving the fresh air. He stayed like that for McGonagall's entire lesson and when the bell rang, he got up to go find Harry when McGonagall said, "Padfoot, stay. I am teaching the Third Year Gryffindors next so Potter will be here soon." Padfoot nodded and licked Kathy's hand as she left, making the girl giggle. She waved bye and went with her friends to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
McGonagall configured a dog bed for Padfoot to rest in, until Harry showed up. The rest of class followedin soon afterwards. Not noticing the large Grim look-a-like that was currently resting in a corner. Soon the lesson started and McGonagall asked the class, "Alright, what is wrong with all of you? Thats the first time my transformation hasn't gotten an applause." Hermione cared to inform her Head of House while her housemates stared at the now blushing Harry. "Please, Professor. We've just had our first Divination class, and we were reading tea leaves, and-"
McGonagall told the class about how Trelawney always predicted the death of a student and was interuppted when Lavender Brown screamed. "Harry! Your dog! Its the GRIM!" Everyone stared at her. The Golden Trio, and a few others looked at the girl with a WTF look. "Lavender. Padfoot's been around me for nearly a month and I'm still alive. He isn't trying to kill me." Padfoot got up and went over to Harry's desk. Laying his large head on his godson's lap, the animagus glowered at the girl. "Miss Brown, I can assure you that Professor Trelawney is a faux Seer. And I can also assure you that if Mr. Potter does die he does not need to turn in his homework." This made a few students laugh and Lavender to blush...

Lunchtime came and with it went the usual Ron/Hermione Bicker. They were now heading off to Care of Magical Creatures with the Syltherins. The class got a shock of a life time when Fang ran up to Padfoot, barking. Padfot snarled back and the two proceeded to wrestle. Hagrid went and broke it up, locking Fang into his hut for the remainder of the lesson. During said lesson, Harry rode a hippogriff and Malfoy insulted one. But before Buckbeak could harm Malfoy, Padfoot came in. The dog animagus barked and snarled, keeping the enraged hippogriff busy until someone got his cousin out of there.
Hagrid calmed Buckbeak down and Malfoy got off scratch free, much to some of the Gryffindors dismay. Padfoot got dusted up but was alright, overall. After that lesson, the class went back up to the castle and went about their day...

The dog animagus was, to put it simply, BORED. His owner was doing something in the library, which was one of the most boring places on earth. Sirius layed under the table his humas were working at. So, after several hours of this, decided to go wander the castle. His owner told him to be back before they left for History of Magic and Padfoot left to wander. He soon wound up in the teacher's lounge to see Remus Lupin, asleep in one of the many arm chairs. Sirius wanted to run and run but decided not to. He needed to face his best firend and, gathering his courage, went up to the werewolf.
Remus jumped a foot in the air when something wet licked his hand. Once he calmed his heart, the new DADA teacher looked over to see a dog. A black shaggy dog that looked just like his best friend's animagus form. Remus blinked before rubbing his eyes. "Paddy, is that you?" Padfoot nodded, making Remus' jay drop. "B-But why are you here?" Sirius looked around the room before transforming into his human form. "I don't have much time but this will explain everything." Remus went to scream for someone but stopped when Sirius pulled out a newspaper clipping, instead of a wand.
The escaped convict shoved it into the werewolf's hanf before transforming back into Padfoot. Remus looked at the dog before looking at the clipping. "This is the Weasleys. What about it?" Padfoot gave him a look that said, "are you serious?" Padfoot sighed and barked, pawing at the photo Ron. Remus looked at the picture again and did a double take. For sitting on Ron's shoulder was Peter Pettigrew's animagus form: Wormtail.
"B-But how? What-" Sirius looked at him and that's when it hit Moony like a ton of bricks. "Son of a banshee, you weren't the Secret Keeper, Peter was?" Padfoot nodded, making Remus sit down. "Dear gods...I'm sorry Pads. I should've believed you instead of the rumors but-" Padfoot layed his head against his best friend's lap, saying that he was forgiven. "Now, how the hell do we catch that rat?" Padfoot did a dog shrug and was shocked when the bell rang...

It was after dinner and the Golden Trio was in the Common Room, doing homework. Padfoot was nawing on a bone, letting a goup of first years pet him. Ron looked over and smiled before nudging his best friend to look. Harry looked up from his Transfiguration homework to see one first year girl had put a bow around Padfoot's neck. Both boys snorted and bursted out laughing. The twins soon saw and decided to change the color of Padfoot's fur to match the frilly pink bow. This caused everyone to laugh for Padfoot then proceeded to tear after the Maurader heirs.
Hermione put a stop to it by changing Padfoot's fur back to normal. Soon after that, everyone went to bed. All except Padfoot. The animagus let everyone fall asleep before he left Gryffindor Tower to the kitchens. He wanted some hot chocolate and when he got there, he was shocked to see Snape sitting at a table, drinking something. The Potions Master looked up from his cup to see Potter's dog staring at him. "Oh grand, Potter's dog is here. Well, at least you can't speak otherwise I'll never get a moments peace in this place." Sirius wanted to leave but decided to stay, going over to annoy the living hell out of the half-blood by begging for scraps.
Snape sneered at the Grim look-a-like. "Shoo! I have no food for you!" Padfoot whined and layed his head on Snape's lap. The man sneered before sighing in defeat. "You are as stubborn as your master. Dobby! Find something for this dog to eat." Dobby squeaked, "Yes sir!" Padfoot sat doen on the floor next to his childhood enemy and looked at him before eating the treats Dobby brought him...
