Hello! This is Sapphira, i would like to introduce you to the day of Sierra Shallows. Today she will go to her different subjects and maybe find a magical room (wink wink) hope you like it!!!!!!!!
I got my Advanced Potion Making textbook, Magical Drafts and Potions and my cauldron.
"Ready?" I asked Raela.
"Yeah." She said enthusiastically. We went to the common room and met the Marauders then we walked to the potion room.
"Who is the professor?" I asked.
"Professor Slughorn, he is the head of the Slytherin house." Sirius said. We got to the class. It was a dungeon that was green, it looked quite ugly. When everyone, the Gryffindor and Slytherin first years, were there, Professor Slughorn started to say potion partners.
James Potter and Rose Rowing, Rose looked happy, James didn't have an expression on his face except for one, uninterested
Remus Lupin and Raela Raring, both of them looked happy
Sirius Black and Sierra Shallows…..
Phineas Mulciber and Mary MacDonald, Mary whimpered beside me.
And ended with Severus Snape and Lily Evans, which Lily looked really happy with and James vice versa.
We all sat in our seats.
Then Professor Slughorn said a little speech that ended.
"I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory and stop death." My eyes widened. Cool! Maybe I would actually like this subject, despite the Slytherin Professor.
"Today, we will make Boil-Cure Potion, you will need dried nettles, crushed snake fangs, stewed horned slugs and porcupine quills, you will find those in the store room at the back of the room and you will work with your partners." Professor Slughorn said.
"I will get the stuff from the store room." Sirius said.
"Wait, bring the instructions along." I said after him.
"I don't need them." He said back. He came back one minute later.
"Where are the instructions?" He asked.
"Right here." I giggled as he took the book from my hands. He came back later with all the right things.
"Okay first we need to add that, then that." I pointed.
"I will add them, and you can crush the snake fangs, okay." I explained.
"Yes ma'am." He said, mocking a salute. Thirty minutes later, we had finished the potion, it looked pretty good from what I could tell, we were the fifth to be done. Lily and Snape were the first. We got 5 out of 5 on it, which I was very proud until Malfoy said
"That potion was for babies."
Then we had a ten minute break, in which we went to get our stuff for the next subject, Transfiguration. I didn't exactly like the first lesson of it. After that we had Charms, which seemed very easy and fun. The 2nd last subject was DADA, which was the best subject of all we actually got to learn how to perform spells to protect ourselves against other things that were against us. It was awesome, it was also James and Sirius' favourite subject. The last was the most boring History. We had to sit and hear this person drone on about history and it was just the first class. After all the classes, we one thing for homework, an essay for DADA. The Marauders, Raela and Me all went into this room that we found while walking on the seventh floor right across from a picture of a wizard with some trolls who looked like they were trying to dance. The room was cool it was defiantly made for people in Gryffindor. It was gold and red, with several comfortable chairs and coaches, it also had this neat library.
"Wow this is an awesome room." Sirius exclaimed.
"Yeah it even has this library with the exact books I was looking for." Remus said, while Sirius and James rolled their eyes. I sat down on one of the coaches and Sirius sat beside me. Raela and Remus sat on a coach facing us. James was busy exploring the room.
"Cool!" He yelled from another room.
"What!" We all yelled at the same time. He came from a doorway holding what looked like this display box with many treats and types of drinks in it.
"Wow, where did you get that?" I asked.
"It was in that room on the floor." He said. Sirius had gotten up and started looking through the box.
"Sweet, there is Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Then there is also Butterbeer and Gillywater!" He said excitedly.
"Really, cool!" Raela said. I got up and took a bottle of Butterbeer and some Beans. After the first sip of Butterbeer I felt instantly good inside, it really warmed me up. The others, except for Raela were stuffing the cakes and chocolates in their mouths.
"What animagus do you turn into, Sirius?" I asked, remembering the train ride.
"I am a huge black dog." He said, thankfully he had emptied his mouth before saying this.
"What about you, James?" I turned to James.
"I am a stag." He said, proudly.
"Do you like being animagus'?" I asked.
"It is awesome!" Sirius yelled.
"You can 'talk' to other dogs or whatever animal you are." He added.
"Why are you thinking of becoming one?" Sirius asked.
"'Cause that would be cool, then all of us could hang out when you have your transformations, Remus." James added.
"Yeah, that would be." Raela added.
"Cool, I wonder what I would be!" I wondered. I loved both dogs and cats.
"There was a book on animagi in the library." Remus said. I went over to the bookshelf. I took the book and went back to the couch and sat down. I looked at the table of contents, I was pretty sure there wasn't going to be anything concerning how to be one but I was wrong. How to Become an Animagi.
I flipped to the page and scanned it.
"Look it says you can become one in one day." Sirius exclaimed, reading the book over my shoulder.
"It took way longer for me to turn into one." James complained.
"Me too." Sirius said, from behind me. The page looked complicated but it said something about making a potion. The ingredients were complicated but I had this feeling that they would be somewhere in this magical room, it had done everything else for us.
"James can you check in the room where you found the food for these." I said, pointing to the book.
"And take the book along with you the first time." I said, mockingly glaring at Sirius. He flashed me a smile. James took the book and walked down a hallway.
"Found them." He shouted.
"You did." I screamed. I was going to become animagus' just like my friends.
James came back with a cauldron and box. I looked at the supplies and directions. It was all there! I quickly started to make the potion and to my delight it worked.
"Are you really going to drink that?" Raela asked. I nodded, enthusiastically.
"Okay in the book it says that the potion will go into your mind and it will pick the animal you most likely represent and that you like. It also says at the bottom that it will hurt for an hour or so." Remus said. I nodded and tipped the contents into my mouth. Instantly I felt my head start to ache. Oh crap! For the next hour the marauders, me and Raela sat and did our essay. An hour after, I took the potion my head started to feel better.
"Now my head hurts less." I informed the others. Sirius and Remus both jumped. Remus quickly took up the book and read.
"Okay next step, think of the potion and think of the animals you all like…oh and also go into a bathroom cause…well you know why." Remus said.
"No I don't but whatever." I nodded. Went down the hallway and into a girls bathroom. I started thinking of the potion and animals. Slowly I felt my body start to change. I didn't look at myself the entire time but by the end I was on four legs. I slowly took a step and almost fell, wow this was like learning to walk all over again. Maybe five minutes later, I pushed the bathroom door open and walked out. I was much smaller but I wasn't too far off the floor. I had an idea of what I was but I decided to just wait and let my friends see first. I turned the corner of the hallway and walked into the room. Sirius and James eyes widened and Sirius also gasped, Remus and Raela turned around and they also gasped.
"Do you what you are?" Remus asked. I cocked my head and shook it. James pointed to the floor length window. I slowly crept to the mirror and looked in it. My green eyes widened. I was a black dog unless Sirius had conjured himself up on the mirror. I wagged my tail and the dog wagged its tail in the mirror, nope it was me. In the background I could see a wolf creep towards me. It wagged her tail and nudged me. Raela! Slowly I saw Sirius and James transform. In a minute, there were two dogs, one wolf and one deer all in the room with one annoyed looking Remus.
Please review and tell me how you liked it or didn't. I know the anamagi thing was very quick but it seemed more better that way!!.
