Chapter One: Of Kittens and Foxes
Jo's POV
Snuggling further into my pillows, I glance around my dark room still half asleep. Not much to the small room: a small bed, desk and dresser; floor already littered with three and a half weeks of clothes and other random objects I own; and the plain forest green walls covered in various posters, offset by the deep blue curtains on the single window. Surprisingly this room feels more like home then the one in Dublin with mum.
Turning to roll over, I come face to face with a small black kitten with tiny speckles of orange. Pulling the blankets up over my head I groan, "Oi, go 'way, it's to early to get up."
I can make out a light thud before my burgundy comforter is forcefully yanked off of me, pulling me to the floor along with it.
"Get up ahlready Sionnach, it's nehley noon."
Glaring up at my best friend, I left out a small growl, "Youh have two seconds, Puisin, tuh run."
Smirking when her gray eyes widen as she runs out the door, I take a running leap, shifting into my anamagi form mid-air, only to be caught by my dad at the door.
"Ah, I figured you would do something similar to this." he smirks down at me in his arms, "Cheer up Pup, me and Sirius have a surprise for you girls."
Pouting, which is extremely hard to do when your a fox, I wiggle out of my fathers arms so I can shift back.
"Eh, an woht is this suhprise, da?" I question, left eyebrow raised with my hands on my hips.
"You'll find out as soon as you get dressed and come downstairs, Pup."
Turning to look back the stairs, I glare at my 'uncle', he's not really my uncle but I claim him so. "Well, Unchle Siri," I smirk at his slight glare, "Gimme tenh minutes an' I'll beh down."
With that, I turn and close my bedroom door, barley glancing at Cam when she glides through and sits on the bed.
"Woht yuh going tuh wear?"
Glancing at her out of the corner of my eye, I grin; her heads tilted to the side, shoulder length dark brown hair hiding her grey eyes, mannerisms similar to her kitten form. Shaking my head, I just start digging through my closet in search of something suitable.
"I was thinking jeans an' comfortahble shirt," looking back over my shoulder I raise an eyebrow, "Tha' fine with yee, Caimereon?"
Grabbing a random black and lime green stripped shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans, I turn and walk into the bathroom through the door by my closet. Grumbling under my breath, I huff when I finish dressing. My bed ragged hair sticking up like crazy, the white tips standing out greatly against the chestnut locks I had inherited from my father; bright green eyes staring back at me through narrowed lids, standing out against the row of freckles along my nose. Shaking off my analysis, I get to brushing my hair and teeth before Cam can start rushing me.
Walking back into the room, I lean down by the bed, grabbing my green flats before walking over to my nightstand, tripping over a random object along the way.
"Standh much, Jodi?" Cam, snickers a devilish grin on her face.
Rolling my eyes, I ignore her for the time being, turning back to my nightstand and the small little cage on it, its lid open like always, "Clúmhach, cume out boy." Picking up my small pet, I turn back to Cam. Rubbing his small head a few times, I place him on my left shoulder before slipping on the flats still in my hands.
"Dun tell meh your tahking him." Cam says, eyes wearily looking at Clúmhach, ever since he crawled onto her face to sleep a few years ago and she woke up with him there, she'd been a little weary of my tarantula buddy.
"'Course I'm tahking him, how would yee lihke it if me an' him went somewhere without yee?"
Cam just pouted, so I raised an eyebrow at her, still clad in pajamas. "And, yee, Cam, yee goin' in pjs?"
Cameron's brow furrowed as she looked down at herself. Letting out a yelp, she dashed off my bed and out of my room, only to come back moments later in ripped jeans and a black tank top, pulling on combat boots.
I grinned. "Ah love those shoes. They mahke yee look like an angry smurf." Cam stuck her tongue out, before turning and shifting into her animagus form, jumping into the arms of her dad.
"I take it you two are ready to go?" Sirius Black, forever Uncle Siri to me, set his daughter back on the floor, laughing as she transformed human again.
"Yes, da, we're readah. Are yee and Uncle Mooneh going ta tell us where we're goin'?"
"Nope." Cam and I exchanged exasperated glances, before following Sirius out the door and down the stairs. My dad was waiting by the door.
"So, da, how are weh getting ta this mysterious plahce? 'Cause weh need tha name to floo."
"We're not flooing, Pup. Side-along apparation." My dad held out his arm and I grabbed hold, as Cam and Uncle Siri did the same. We stepped outside, they spun in a quick circle, and with a faint pop sound, we were there, wherever there was.
"Ah hate apparahtion. Mahkes me mohtion sick."
Hearing a few snickers, I turn to glare, only to see a whole entire mob of red heads. Not. Kidding.
Staring at the group, I reach over and poke Cam, eyes wide, "Holey shiht, Cam do yee seeh whot ah'm seehin'?"
"If yee mean theh mob of red headhs, then ya Jo, ah do."
And so, in true Cam and Jo fashion, our gaping is cut short by a sound whack to the back our heads. I swear our dads even do it in sync.
"Be nice you two," Uncle Sirius is so mean.
"And no pranks while we're here." Oh, bad idea dear father.
Grinning mischievously, I turn to my dad, "Ah, da, you shouldn' of said thaht."
"Greaht Unchle Moonie, now weh goni' to havhe ta watch our bachs."
"Ah, don' worry Cam, I was jus' thihnkin' tha' there was too much red hair in thihs room."
"Pup, don't you dare."
Looking up at my dad, I give him the most innocent look I can muster, wide eyes included, "Wha da? Ah did' doh anythinh'."
Turning back to Cam, we share devious smiles, I mouth the question, "Soh ah tahke it, yourh in on it too?"
At her nod, my smile grows, before I turn to the living room full of people, "Soh, who are yee?"
