The Animagus part 2
"Are you staying or what?"
"I..." She looked anguished. "Yes - yes, I'm staying. Ron, we said we'd go with Harry, we said we'd help -"
"I get it. You choose him."
"Ron, no - please - come back, come back!"
Timothy Davis had been a snatcher for all of 3 days, he was the newbie in this group of three that had been ordered out into rural England to see if any of the undesirables were hiding out in farms or on the farmland and abundant forests in the area.
But just because he was new didn't mean that he didn't hear the pop of an agitated apparition. "Apparition!" he exclaimed and began to point in the direction he heard the noise coming from.
"I aint heard nuthin' Tims"
"Don't call me Tims! And I tell you I heard an apparition out that way!" He says, continuing to point.
"A'ight, hold your 'orses." The older man stood up, albeit a bit creakily. "Well Davie, wadaya say? Wanna go see what the newbie's hearin' tha we don't?
Dave rolled his eyes at both the older mans nickname and the younger mans hearing and in one swish of his wand had everything in their woodland campsite save the fire stuffed into a bottomless knapsack that he shouldered. With a mocking grin and a wave of his arm, "Lead the way then... newbie. As if Mack and I don't know what the apparition sounds like - you do know we both were working for our Lord in the first war doing basically this same thing."
"I know what I heard!" Timothy shouts, he then takes his wand in hand and makes his way in the direction of the noise. It took them almost a minute to get to the area because the forest they were in was quite thick even though it was at the edge of farmland. When they finally did make their way out of the brush and out onto the grassy plain where the noise originated they found not a person but a reddish brown splotched holstein cow happily eating some grass, with many others in the background of the now obvious pasture
"Moo." The cow looked at them before dropping a rather large cow patty and walking forward a few steps before stopping to munch on more grass and flicking its tail a bit.
"Yea, that was some apparition allright. I can see it now Moo Movers, never worry about your cows again!" He smacked timothy on the back of his head before moving back into the forest to set camp back up, completely dismissing the younger man. The older man, just gave Timothy a disparaging look.
"I heard an apparition!"
"Apparition my left foot!" The old man argued back.
"See here old man!" He said quite agitated and yet still sure of himself. "Homenum Revelio" and suddenly he takes off back in the direction of camp. Mack just rolled his eyes, knowing Timothy was simply just picking up Dave.
"Moo."
Mack looks back at the cow, he gets a glimmer of an idea then immediately dismisses it. Whoever heard of a cow animagus anyway?
a/n: someone did make a note in the previous one shot that Ron would be a bull and now a cow - this is true - however there are plenty of holstein bulls out there that are bred to not have horns and I'm trying for humor so I use cow instead of bull. Also I figure the spell is there to pick up people, and right now Ron - if it really was Ron- is a cow!
