The past month had been pretty boring for Harry and Ginny. Their lessons seemed to be becoming far too simple. One morning though they found a note on the kitchen table. Harry looked at it curiously.
Pup,
The potion is ready.
Padfoot.
Harry was excited, "Ginny!" He said running through the house. Ginny was still asleep in bed. Harry smiled and shook her gently trying to wake her up. "Wake up Ginny."
She rolled around, "Not now mum." She mumbled.
Harry chuckled, "I'm not your mum Mrs. Potter."
Ginny sat up a little and blushed, "Sorry Harry I'm just really tired," She yawned while stretching.
He grinned and held the note in front of her face. "Come on we need to see Sirius!"
"Why?" She asked quietly.
"The potion Ginny. Sirius says it is ready so we should see him now," Harry said as he tried to pull her out of bed.
Ginny sat up, "Okay calm down."
Harry blushed and muttered an apology, "Sorry Gin I just am excited that we can start our training soon."
"I know, but at least let me wake up first," She said grumpily.
Harry laughed and laid down in the bed. 'It seems like someone is used to waking up late still,' he said silently.
'Yes I am.' Ginny thought back.
He tickled her lightly, 'you are in my clutches now.'
"Ha...Harry stop it," She said through her laughter
Harry stopped kissed her cheek, 'come one let's see Sirius.'
'Alright, but only because you seem so excited.' She thought.
Harry chuckled, 'aren't you excited too Ginny? We can finally discover what we will transform into.'
'I'm worried though some people do not have transformations.' Ginny thought
Harry looked up in fear, 'Some people don't have a form?'
'Yeah, that's why everyone isn't an animagus.'
Harry nodded, 'I guess there is only one way to find out if we have a form.' He reached out and grabbed Ginny's hand for comfort.
'I'm sure you will," She thought.
'You will too,' He led her down to the potions lab in the basement.
Sirius was sitting in a chair with a smirk on his face, "I hope I did not interrupt any, activities."
"Get your mind out of the gutter Sirius," Harry said.
Sirius laughed as he saw a blush creep up Ginny's face. "It seems that I touched a nerve with your wife little pup."
"Shut up Sirius I will Bat Bogey you," Ginny warned.
Sirius froze as he considered his option. Sure Ginny didn't have as wide of a spell range as Lily did but if he went against her surely Harry would take her side. "Fine fine... We will leave that conversation for another time."
"Good boy," Ginny said smiling.
Sirius scowled but then looked at the potion, "Are you two ready?"
"Yes Sirius," They both said nervously
Sirius pointed towards a bed in the corner of the room. "This potion will put you to sleep so it is best if you two lay down."
"Why asleep?" Harry asked.
"That's how you two will meet your forms. The potion puts you to sleep and well... I'll let the experience speak for itself," Sirius explained.
Ginny looked ecstatic now, 'See Mr. Potter I do get to sleep extra today.'
'Oh come on what are the odds?' Harry thought.
She chuckled and climbed into the bed. "Are you going to join me in bed Harry?" she whispered.
Sirius jumped in surprise, "You two always mentally talk and the one time you don't you say that."
"Just to get to you," Ginny said playfully.
Sirius eyed them carefully. He picked up two vials of the potion. "You both must drink the whole vial."
"Bottoms up!" Harry said drinking his whole vial at once. Ginny followed suit and soon they drifted off into a deep sleep.
Harry opened his eyes and looked around him. Wherever he was seemed to be full of mist. He turned to the right and surprisingly saw Ginny. She gave him a curious look and they suddenly felt a tugging sensation. The area seemed to melt and reappeared as a mountain. On top of the tallest peak were two phoenixes. One had fiery red plumage and the other black plumage.
"Wow!" Harry said staring at them.
"They are beautiful Harry," Ginny whispered and the sight melted in front of them again. They opened their eyes but were not back in the potions lab. Instead they were in what looked like a forest during winter. They heard a howl and two wolves prowled towards them. One was pure white while the other had a rich black coat. "Harry I thought we would experience this on our own. I also thought only one form was possible." Ginny whispered.
"I didn't either, but here we are," Harry said staring at the wolves.
The wolves then melted and suddenly they were in a dark forest in spring they saw two large boa constrictors one with jet black scales the other with dark red scales. Ginny cringed at the sight of the snakes. The chamber was still fresh in her mind. She and Harry watched for a few more seconds until their eyes opened and saw Sirius staring at them, concern was watched into his face.
"I thought you two were not going to wake up," he shakily said.
"Why how long were we out?" Harry asked.
Sirius looked at his watch and tensed up, "Four hours at least. What happened?"
"We saw our animals and there was more than one for each of us," Harry said.
Sirius sat up, "That's impossible! I've never heard of more than one form for a person."
"Well we have three," Harry said.
Sirius looked like someone smacked him across the head, "Three?"
"That's what we said," Harry said
Sirius stared at the two of them trying to figure out if it was some type of prank. "Okay what forms were they then?"
"Phoenix's" Ginny said excited.
Sirius fell off the bed and there was a loud crash. "Stop joking now. No one has ever had a magical creature be their form before."
"Well that was our first form," Harry said
Sirius drew up a chair and sat on it, "Okay then tell me your other forms."
"Wolves," Ginny said happily
Sirius grinned widely, "more dog animagi excellent. Now what was the last one?"
He noticed that Ginny turned white and had a hollow look in her eyes. Her hand reached towards Harry's before he spoke, "The third one is a boa constrictor..."
"Like the snake?" Sirius asked.
Harry looked at Ginny before nodding, "I think it is a Brazilian Boa Constrictor. I accidentally set one on my git of a cousin when we went to the zoo once."
Sirius smiled, "Good that kid was spoiled when I met him and I assume he got no better in eleven years?" Sirius asked remembering the chubby baby
Harry shook his head. "No he didn't but that is not important right now. What do we do now that we have discovered our forms?"
"You learn all you can about your animals one at a time," Sirius said.
'Save the... snake... for last,' Ginny silently whispered to Harry.
'Or not at all,' Harry thought back.
'So should we learn the phoenix or the wolf first,' she contemplated while running her hand through his hair.
'I say phoenixes first I love flying' Harry thought
Ginny smiled, 'you look quite ravishing when you fly.'
Harry blushed as red as Ginny's hair.
'Ah there is the famous Weasley blush,' Ginny muttered in her head while laughing.
"Whatever Mrs. Potter is thinking must sure be interesting," Sirius commented as he saw Harry blush.
"Well...uh..yeah sort of.." Harry said
Sirius gave his famous bark like laugh. "Thinking about going to bed early with Harry or something?" he asked before becoming serious. "I can't allow that to happen... Molly would blast my bits," he muttered to himself.
"True, and you may need those if you meet a women," Harry smirked
Sirius's face grew red, "Harry James Potter you are too young to be talking about stuff like that."
"You started it," Harry said.
"Harry I'm serious, where did you learn such things at this age?" Sirius frowned.
"Muggle school," Harry said.
Sirius swore under his breath. "Bloody muggles only thinking with their bits."
"Oh and you don't?" Harry asked.
Sirius's face flushed, "Now see here pup I am an adult so I can think like that openly. You and Mrs. Potter may be married but you are far too young even if teenage wizard and witches do mature faster than their muggle counterparts."
"We do?" Harry asked.
Sirius eyed his godson, "You didn't know or notice anything about the girls around you?"
Ginny glared daggers at Sirius as she cleared her throat loudly, "I don't think Harry should be noticing other girls."
"I meant before the bonding then after the bonding he would notice you," Sirius said.
Ginny glared at Sirius for another second before turning to Harry. "You really didn't notice?" she asked aloud.
"Notice?" Harry asked.
"That I... I mean we develop faster..." Ginny's face turned a brilliant red and Sirius shifted uncomfortably.
"No, actually I never had..." Harry said.
Ginny looked down sadly. It took Harry a second but he was able to sense Ginny's sadness.
"Real smooth pup," Sirius muttered as he eyed the two cautiously.
"Sirius can I talk to Ginny alone please?" Harry asked.
Sirius smirked and got up to leave. He turned to Ginny with a grin, "Don't blast his bits off yet." Sirius closed and locked the door on his way out. He would come back in ten minutes or so to see the damage.
"Ginny?" Harry asked carefully.
"What do you want Harry?" she muttered as she wiped her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say," Harry said.
Ginny sighed as she looked up at Harry, "After a month or so of sleeping in the same bed you still haven't noticed me that way Harry?"
"Well I had honestly not thought about it I was enjoying our time together," Harry said.
Ginny blushed, "I'm sorry Harry. Sometimes at night... I..."
"You what?" Harry asked.
Ginny looked down, "I sometimes had... thoughts. Of us together that way..."
"Oh you did?" Harry asked.
Ginny blushed and turned away, "Yes Harry I do..."
"Oh, I don't know what to say," Harry said.
Ginny sighed. "Now that you know... do you think... that way too?" Ginny hesitantly asked. Sure she could have searched for the answer through the bond but it would not be as fulfilling.
"I have a few times," Harry admitted.
Ginny looked up hopefully, "You have Harry?"
"Yeah more and more lately," Harry said.
Ginny smiled as she lunged at Harry. Her lips met his and she seemed to melt into him.
Harry hugged her closer to him while kissing her back.
Ginny put more passion into the kiss as she ran her hand through Harry's hair.
Harry returned her passion and actually picked her up off the ground.
Ginny gasped quietly as Harry laid on top of her. Her hands flew underneath his shirt. Harry's hands flew under her shirt rubbing her midriff. Ginny moaned as she took off Harry's shirt. She blushed as she looked at his chest. Harry pulled her shirt up over her head and threw it too the side before kissing down her neck Ginny moaned more as her hands explored Harry's chest. His heart was racing and his body was warm against her hands. Harry's hands slid to the lining of her pants. Ginny pulled Harry closer to her body. She rolled ontop of him just as the door slammed open. They both gasped and saw Sirius with a fuming Mrs. Weasley behind him.
"Umm.." Ginny said awkwardly. Sirius gave the two a sharp look.
"Ginevra Molly Potter what do you think you two are doing?" Molly shouted as she eyed Ginny and Harry dangerously.
"I well I..." She trailed off not sure what to say.
Sirius stepped between them. "Now Molly let's all try to be civil about this."
"Civil did you see them?" She asked
Sirius gulped, "Yes I did. I only left them alone for ten minutes at most Molly."
"That does not help the situation!" She said
"They are also married Molly and they are maturing as well," Sirius noted as he glanced again at the kids. Ginny hastily put Harry's shirt on.
"They're so young though," She said
Sirius nodded, "I know Molly and believe me when I say that Harry, Ginny, and I are going to have a talk about this." Harry and Ginny gulped.
"Fine, but really you two?" She asked.
Both of their faces were red and Harry withdrew his hand from the inside of Ginny's pants. They moved cautiously to the edge of the bed. 'I thought your mum would warn us if she was visiting,' Harry said silently.
'I guess she forgot.' Ginny thought
'Sirius looks slightly amused,' Harry added as he gave Sirius a dark look.
Sirius shot him a look that said; 'I warned you to be careful.'
Harry blushed again and turned towards Ginny. 'What should we do now?'
'We wait I guess.' She thought.
Sirius frowned during the silence. "Stop talking through the bond you two. It gets unnerving after a while."
"Why?" They asked.
Sirius grinned widely, "It would be nice to know what made this happen..." Sirius looked at them in surprise, "I think I figured out what Mrs. Potter has been saying to you Harry that has been making you blush so much."
"No that's not it," Harry said.
Molly eyed the three of them suspiciously, "You had a feeling Sirius? You had a feeling that my daughter and Harry were... were..."
"Taunting each other yes," Sirius said
Sirius was shot a look by Molly, "You didn't think to try to stop this? At least they sleep in separate beds so at night they are safe."
"They can't it causes them physical pain," Sirius said
Molly seemed outraged by this, "Who thought that those sleeping arrangements should be allowed?"
"You are not listening so let me demonstrate pull Ginny away from Harry," He sighed reluctantly.
Molly smiled as she pulled Ginny out of Harry's arms. Harry tried to rush towards Ginny but Sirius held his hand out. Both kids soon were fidgeting and Harry once again tried to race towards Ginny but Sirius held him back as both of the kids fell to the ground in a fit of pain.
"What's happening?" She asked terrified.
Sirius ignored Molly and carried Harry over to Ginny. Once the two made contact they began to calm down. "This is why they have to stay in the same bed Molly. Dumbledore suggested the idea."
"What just happened?" She asked
Sirius looked towards the Potters who had curled into each other protectively. "It appears that they cannot be separated for too long during the first few months of the bond. They experience pain that matches the Cruciatis if they do stay separated and after a while death occurs."
"What then why did you let me do that?" She asked
"Because I would not let them die and it was easier than explaining it only," Sirius said as he crouched down next to Harry and Ginny. He continued to mutter under his breath as the two woke.
"What happened?" Harry asked
"You were separated from Ginny for a bit longer than I anticipated pup," Sirius whispered as he handed him Ginny's shirt to put on.
"You both have explaining to do," Molly said dangerously
Ginny looked at the ground in embarrassment but Harry cleared his throat. "I think we should continue this upstairs in the kitchen," he said in a controlled voice. 'I'll protect you Ginny even if it means taking all the blame.'
'Harry don't,' Ginny thought
'If it keeps you safe I will do it. Your mum can't take you from me and the worst she will do is yell. Besides I was the one who removed your shirt,' he added the last bit while blushing. The four of them had just entered the kitchen and Remus gave Harry an odd look for wearing a blouse.
"Uhh Harry that is a blouse you know," Remus said non-nonchalantly.
"I know Remus," Harry sighed.
Remus began to laugh until he saw the look in Sirius's eye and the look on Molly's face. "Maybe I said the wrong thing..." he muttered as the others sat at the table.
Molly eyed the children dangerously before she spoke, "Explain you two! What was going on downstairs in the potions room?"
"I got carried away," Harry said.
Remus looked confused but Sirius kicked him from under the table. 'Later,' he mouthed silently.
Molly looked between Ginny and Harry in anger, "How did you get carried away when it was my daughter on top of you?"
"We were rolling around," Harry said.
Molly stood up at this point, "HARRY JAMES POTTER WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY DAUGHTER!"
Remus backed away slightly as Sirius tried to stand. He was pulled down by Remus who just shook his head.
"I didn't it just happened," Harry said.
"It couldn't 'just happen and why wasn't an adult in the room with you," Molly said while glaring at Sirius.
"I wanted to talk," Ginny lied.
She turned her glare towards Ginny, "Don't lie to me young lady I know you can talk through your minds. Did you try to seduce Harry into trying to sleep with you?"
"I...may have played a part in it," Ginny said
Harry rose from the table and looked at Mrs. Weasley. "It wasn't Ginny's fault," he said slowly.
"Then whose fault was it?" Moll asked
Harry looked uneasily towards Ginny. "It was my fault. I was the one who started it," Harry lied.
"Harry, is that really what happened?" Molly asked
"Yes," Harry stated firmly while looking Mrs. Weasley in the eyes. Ginny shifted in her seat uncomfortably as Sirius put a hand on her shoulder.
"Harry Potter what do you have to say for yourself?" she asked angrily.
"I'm sorry," he whispered as he put his head down in defeat. 'That I didn't get the chance to continue,' he added in his mind while his face flushed. Ginny blushed, but kept her head down.
"Harry you need to learn self-control," Molly said.
Harry nodded, "I realize that Mrs. Weasley."
"You understand what you did wrong?" She asked
Harry nodded as he slumped into the chair in defeat. 'I got caught by the wrong person,' he muttered in his mind. Ginny kept turning red, but kept her head down.
Sirius opened his mouth finally, "Enough Molly. My godson has apologized and I will not allow him or his wife to be insulted in their own home."
"But Sirius," she started.
"No, Molly I understand it's your daughter, but this is over all he can say he's said," Sirius said.
Harry smiled at Sirius Before looking at Mrs. Weasley. "How come you did not give us notice of your visit?"
"There is a problem at home." Molly said.
Ginny looked up in fear, "What happened Mum?"
"One of your brothers found out," She said.
'If Fred and George told anyone I'm going to blast their bits off and then Bat-Bogey them,' Ginny's anger seeped through the bond. Ginny looked at her mother angrily, "Who found out and how?"
"Ron, and he found the paper," Molly said.
Sirius shrank in his seat at the news. "How much does he know?" he choked out.
"Not about the soul bond, but he knows Harry and Ginny are married and about the estate and it put him in a right state," She sighed.
Harry tensed up, "He can't tell anyone Mrs. Weasley. Does he know you are here now?"
Ginny turned to Harry while projecting thoughts of how to get back at Ron. She smiled widely with each one.
"No, he's out with Arthur," She said.
Harry nodded before speaking again, "What... What did he say?"
"He's very, unhappy to say the least. He feels you stole his sister," Molly said.
"I believe we stole each other," he said with a grin. 'I should owl your brother to see what he really has to say,' Harry considered silently.
'I don't know Harry,' Ginny thought.
'I can play dumb and say that I am at Hogwarts still and see how he reacts,' he suggested while looking up at Mrs. Weasley. Food appeared on the table as the house elves had just finished cooking lunch. "Would you like to stay for lunch Mrs. Weasley?"
"Well...yes thank you Harry dear," She said
They ate in strained silence as Harry entered the bond, 'I really want to start training with Sirius. Maybe we should ask him about which form to try first. He is the only one with experience.'
'That works, but what about Ron?' Ginny asked.
'We send an owl and see how he responds. I don't want to lose a friend but if it's a choice between him or you the answer is obvious,' Harry responded simply..
'Me right?' She asked sarcastically.
'Of course it would be you,' he leaned over and kissed her cheek while receiving a glare from Mrs. Weasley.
"What?" Harry asked. Mrs. Weasley just shook her head and continued eating in silence. After the meal was over she announced that she had to return home..
"Good luck," Harry said.
Mrs. Weasley nodded as she hugged her daughter goodbye. "Behave yourselves," she said as she disapparated home.
"Well now what?" Harry asked.
Sirius grinned, "I would say you should change but I think you look good in a blouse Harry."
"Harry always looks good," Ginny said.
Harry blushed as Sirius shot Ginny a look, "I know that Harry was not the only one at fault in the potions room."
Ginny also flushed, "I know that Sirius," She said.
Sirius sighed and put his hands in his pockets, "So how about we start training. I was thinking the wolf would be easiest to start off with because it is similar to my form."
"Alright!" They both said excited.
Harry and Ginny grinned as Sirius led them back down to the potions lab.
"Now, first no more snogging in this room," Sirius said.
Harry and Ginny blushed and Sirius cleared his throat, "and when I say snogging I mean anything that goes beyond snogging as well."
"Okay, we get sorry," Harry sighed
"Good. Now before we begin I must warn you that this will be dangerous." Sirius started as he gathered three chairs.
"How dangerous?" Ginny asked.
"If you try to fully transform when you are not ready he results could be deadly," whispered Sirius ominously.
"How do you know when you're ready?" Harry asked.
Sirius shrugged, "I guess when you can do all the partial transformations."
"You don't know for sure?" Harry asked.
"No James and I just had a feeling that we could do it and well we could," he transformed into the great black dog as proof.
"So, how long did it take you?" Harry asked.
"A few years of training in school. Since you two are going to have more time to devote to the training t should be much sooner." Sirius smiled, "Hopefully before your school year starts."
"You really think we can have wolves down by then?" Harry asked.
Sirius nodded, "with your bond it will be like two people working on a transformation. It's obvious that you will help each other out."
"That's amazing!" Harry said.
Sirius nodded again while thinking of Remus. Hopefully Harry and Ginny could help him.
"Well then let's get started," Harry said.
"Alright, we will work on wolves first. I need to talk to Remus and Albus about you having three forms..." Sirius scratched his head and stood up. "First you must picture your form. Try to remember every detail that you can."
They both closed their eyes and started to remember the details
"Now try to focus your magic as you try to transform your hand into a paw. When you feel you are ready try to change ONE hand."
"Okay, we can do that," Harry said focusing.
After a few minutes Harry and Ginny noticed that they sprouted some fur. Sirius chuckled, "Harry I don't know how to tell you this but... you're hairy."
"I know I'm Harry," He said while laughing.
Sirius eyed Harry before bursting out in laughter. He saw the two of them smiling and began to grin himself. "I have to say that you two surprised me. It took me a few days to even begin to sprout fur."
"Maybe were more amazing than you?" Ginny said.
"I highly doubt that?" Sirius said defensively but Harry grinned at his god father's discomfort.
"You know it's true," Harry said.
Sirius just smirked, "remember no one can know about this, especially Molly."
"Isn't that illegal?" Harry asked.
"Harry it would be best if only a few people knew of your forms. For now I think it is safest if you, Ginny, Albus, Remus, and I were the only ones who knew." Sirius sighed while adding, "not many knew of the Marauder's forms either."
"You told mum though right?" Harry asked
"Yes it was James who told Lily. She was shocked when she first heard." Sirius chuckled as he thought back to the time.
"I'll bet. Did she ever become an animagus?" Harry asked
Sirius gave the two a grin. "Yeah she was. She was a lioness."
"Wow! Really?" Ginny asked she seemed to idolize Lily the more she heard about her.
Sirius nodded, "She had a fiery personality and a lioness fit her perfectly."
"She sounds amazing!" Ginny said.
Sirius smiled slightly, "She was amazing."
"I hope I can do her proud," Harry said.
"You will pup, both of you will." Sirius patted Harry on the back as Remus entered.
"So Padfoot did they find their forms?" Remus asked hesitantly.
"Yes all three of them," Sirius said.
Remus stuttered as he stared at the children, "Impossible... three forms?"
"Yes three each," Sirius said.
"But... but Sirius I have never heard of this," Remus turned to Ginny and Harry. "What forms can you assume?"
"Wolves, Boa constrictors, and Phoenixes," Harry said
"Phoenixes?" Remus muttered while taking a seat on the bed.
Sirius laughed as he watched his friend sit, "I wouldn't sit there Moony. That is where Molly discovered Ginny and Harry, if you catch my drift."
Remus jumped away. He eyed Harry and Ginny carefully as he leaned against a wall. They both blushed and Harry nodded, "Yes Remus, phoenixes."
"Impossible no one can get magical animals," Remus said
Harry smiled, "How come Ginny and I saw phoenixes? I thought it was odd that we were in the same dream too."
"The same dream after taking the potion at the same time that's normal," Remus said.
"I never knew that," Harry whispered.
"Yeah not many do," Remus said
"What does this mean... the phoenixes?" Ginny asked curiously.
"I'm not sure," Remus said.
Sirius gave Remus a knowing look as he spoke, "They are learning to become wolves first."
"Is that so?" Remus asked
Harry and Ginny nodded, "Sirius suggested that it would be the easiest to learn."
"He has a point," Remus said while giving Sirius a knowing look.
The others nodded and looked at the time. It was late in the evening already. Sirius rose and stretched, "Well I guess it is time to sleep. I mean sleep in the literal sense Mr. and Mrs. Potter."
"Do we have to?" Harry asked.
"Yes you need to sleep. We have a long day of lessons tomorrow and I believe Remus and I have a new lesson that we need to discuss with you two tomorrow." Sirius said as he winced at the last part.
"NO!" Remus said.
Sirius looked up, "What do you mean Moony?"
"I will not talk about that," He said.
"Please Remus. Do it for Lily and James. I don't want to be another god father anytime soon." Sirius whispered.
"But..but.." Remus stammered.
"I'm serious Remus," Sirius said with a glint in his eyes.
"I know that your Sirius who else would you be?"
Sirius grinned, "I pulled a similar joke on Harry today. That doesn't change the fact that you are helping me."
"No," Remus said backing away.
"Please Remus..." Sirius pleaded.
"Fine," Remus huffed.
"Great. Now what should we tell them?" Sirius asked aloud.
"Let's do this tomorrow," Lupin said.
Sirius nodded, "Okay Moony."
"Good now you two go to bed," Remus sighed.
Sirius smirked, "Yes Mr. Lupin."
A/N- yes I know that Harry is only almost 13 and Ginny is only almost 12 but we believe because of the bond they would develop faster physically, mentally, and emotionally. On that note please review :3
