A/N: Oh my gosh I feel so proud of myself. I finally updated after who knows how long. I have just been so busy with school at the moment. I don't think I'll get on track for a while so don't expect updates as quickly any more sorry to say. I will try my best though, I really will. But please enjoy.

"Ms. Granger, all I am doing is checking up on how well you are doing with your animagus form. You haven't been able to work on it as much since I started adding Ron and Harry to the classes as well to work on spells and stuff you'd need for the war. I need to check up on how well you are doing is all, it is that simple. I set out some obstacles for you to go through that any fox would be able to do," McGonagall explained to Hermione and then letting out a small sigh as she looked around a bit at the area. "You have no worries; Mr. Malfoy has no way of getting in here. I did invite someone to watch though."

"What! McGonagall, I don't think I can take anyone watching me."

"Well fine, I was going to support you through it all but I guess not."

Hermione turned to face Ron when she heard his voice and looked at him sadly before running over to him and hugging him. "Ron, I-I don't think I can pass this test," she told him as she buried her head into his chest.

"Wow, I never thought I would hear this from the famous Hermione Granger," Ron said as he lifted her head up to look into his eyes. "You can pass it, you are Hermione Granger. You've never failed anything and never will."

Hermione looked up into Ron's eyes then looked away slowly. "Yeah but lately I've hardly gotten to do things as a fox, what if I don't pass any of it?"

"You will, don't worry. I promise I will be right here cheering you on. You can do it, I promise," Ron told her then kissing her gently on the lips before letting go of her and giving her a small push towards McGonagall.

"Ready to go Ms. Granger?"

Hermione took one last glance at Ron before looking at McGonagall and nodding her head slowly. "I think I am ready to do it," she said very quietly before going into her fox form while Ron joined McGonagall.

"Okay Ms. Granger, all you have to do is go through the obstacles and I will grade your performance the whole time," McGonagall told Hermione as she got ready to grade Hermione.

Hermione gave a small nod before she carefully walked ahead into the obstacle course set up. Just from the first few steps so far she was expecting something to happen but yet nothing. She carefully put her nose to the ground and sniffed but still she didn't see anything.

She carefully walked through the path that was leading her through the obstacle. She yelped and ducked as an arrow shot of her head. She sighed softly and carefully got up and dogged a few more arrows when she looked back she sighed.

I better pay more attention now that I almost killed myself with that.

She went along again and was a lot more careful now, watching with her sight and sniffing around. She managed to make her way through the course until she got to a wall a lot taller then her. She thought and paused for a moment.

Hmmm… tricky but I think I can make it.

She stepped back a bit before running and then leaping over the wall. She made it thankfully and let out a sigh. She was very proud she made it because it wasn't something she normally practiced when she was a fox. She normally did sniffing and dogging. She was happy to know she had jumping skills too now.

She of course went back to going through the course after a few minutes of staring at the wall. She found the rest of the course was rather easy as well and she was very happy about that. They where all things testing her on what she knew well plus she got a nice treat along the way though she was nervous about taking it when she first found it.

When she found the end of the course she ran over to Ron and jumped up and he caught her in his arms. She rubbed her head against his chest and looked over at McGonagall curiously hoping she would hear that she passed which is exactly what she heard before McGonagall walked back into the school.

"Good job 'Mione. You did a very good job," Ron told her as he stroked her gently and walked her inside behind McGonagall. "Should we celebrate with Harry and Ginny tonight? Just hang out and talk the four of us?"

Hermione nodded before making herself comfortable and watching everything around her, liking the view a bit while she was a fox.

"Was that a yes or a no?"

Hermione shook her head and was forced to jump out of his arms and transform into herself again as she laughed gently. "That was a yes. I nodded, didn't I? Well that means yes," she told him softly as she took his hand in hers and walked next to him.

"Oh, I knew that."

Hermione couldn't help but laugh gently but remained comment less to what he had said. She knew very well he was just saying that though it wasn't true or else he wouldn't have asked her was she saying yes or no.
