This is a continuation of Demi and Jeremiah's date . . .

The pair strolled down to the gates at the end of the drive, where Filch was prodding a group of fifth years with a secrecy sensor.

"Oww" said the man, who was rubbing his crotch, as Filch smirked.

"That must hurt," said Demi, who was looking over at Jeremiah.

"Yeah, you don't even know the half of it. It's painful as hell" he replied, laughing. The pair stood in line as the students were being scanned. He turned and looked at her, "have you been to the Hog's Head before?" he asked.

"Yeah, Uncle Ab owns it," said Demi, who was completely unaware of what she had said.

"Who?" asked Jeremiah, confused. They waited until Filch was done scanning them, and they were out of earshot of other students.

"He's Dumbledore's brother, you know, the headmaster?" she said, laughing.

"I didn't know he had a brother," said Jeremiah, thoughtfully. "I mean, a young Dumbledore, without the beard and spectacles would be odd."

"Believe me, if you ever saw the pictures of the pair. It's so strange. Almost like seeing a picture of your grandparents but when they were young. Like, they're so old, it's amazing"

"What, are you afraid of getting old?" Jeremiah asked, smiling.

"No," Demi said, shaking her head slightly, "it's being alive for too long, that frightens me." They walked down the lane, and the tops and turrets of Hogsmeade were laid out in front of the pair.

Although the discussion topic was slightly morbid, Jeremiah was intrigued nonetheless. "So you don't want to live for too long?" he asked confused. "Strange, I've always wanted to be immortal."

"You don't need to be alive to be immortal. Look at the founders of Hogwarts. They died ages ago, and are still remembered through their work. I just think people shouldn't live for 150 years, it's a bit unnatural, evading death for that long. Don't get me wrong, I love living and everything, like music and food, but too much of a good thing, do you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, I do. Never thought of it like that. Why aren't you in Ravenclaw?" Jeremiah asked, as he held the door of the Three Broomsticks open.

"The Sorting Hat thought about putting me in Ravenclaw, but I didn't exactly show much enthusiasm towards completing homework and studying. It's Lily and Remus that force me to do my homework. They've threatened to throw me in the lake if I don't study."

The pair made their way to an empty booth, sat down, and continued to talk.

Meanwhile, in the Room of Requirement . . . .

"We had to miss this trip. It's the first day we are actually all transforming, and we need to make sure that it works. If it doesn't, then the castle is empty enough for us to make our way to the Wing or to Dumbledore's office if we need to," explained James, to a whiny Sirius.

"Yeah, but I was going to prank Golde," Sirius explained.

James and Remus shook his head, while Peter sat there biting his nails, oblivious to the conversation.

"Why do you hate Golde so much?" asked James.

"Nevermind, let's just see how this goes," Sirius said. He focused all of his magic and the image of himself as a dog came into his mind. Suddenly, he imagined himself as he is. That is when things began going wrong. He felt his spine bend, he fell to the ground, and he felt his arms begin to change into forelegs. However, his head stayed the same. He opened his eyes up and saw the three boys looking at him in shock.

"Mate, you've still got your head" exclaimed Remus.

"Try to continue" said Peter, while James laughed.

Sirius glared at James for a moment before closing his eyes and imagining his face as a dog's. He did't feel any different, and opened his eyes. "Nothing happened. I'm going to try and change back." The others nodded, as Sirius closed his eyes again. He imagined himself as a human, and focused all his magic into making the image a reality. He didn't feel any changes. His spine didn't bend, his arms didn't elongate and he couldn't stand up. He began to panic and opened his eyes up quickly. "I can't do it. It won't work. I'm stuck!"

The four boys looked at one another. Remus ran to the sofa and flicked through the sheaf of parchment, all of it dedicated to Animagi transformations. "There's nothing in here about being stuck!" yelled Remus.

"Let me see" said James, pushing his glasses up his nose, and taking the parchment out of Remus' hands. He scanned the sheets, and looked up and Sirius, "nothing. Remus and Peter, go to the library and see if you can find something. Send us a note if you find anything. You have an hour. Come back when time runs out and we'll go to the Wing." Remus and Peter nodded and ran out of the room.

One Hour Later . . .

James and Sirius were sitting in the room, carefully scanning the notes they'd made, and the books the room had conjured up. They heard a loud noise, and turned to the doors, which were being held open by Remus and Peter. "We went through all the books they had on Animagi, and nothing. Not one of them spoke of a spell or potion to reverse the change. The only information we got is that it is like being splinched. What does that mean?" Remus said, sounding as though he'd ran a marathon.

"Splinching is when someone apparates and they get stuck. Like half of them is in one place and half in another. They end up calling 'Spell Reversal' from the Ministry to help them," explained James.

"Now what?" asked Peter, who was beginning to get very worried. "We can't go to the Wing, Pomfrey will find out. All the books said that wizards should only go through with the transformation under the Ministry's supervision."

"He's right. We can't go to the Wing. It'll draw attention to what we're doing and why we're doing it. We'd be alerting al the staff and what not. It'll draw attention to Remus as well, which is the exact opposite of what we're trying to accomplish," said Sirius.

"What about Dumbledore?" suggested James.

"No, we'd practically be going to the Wing again, except Dumbledore would find out first, rather than second" said Remus, scratching his head. The four boys stood there in complete silence, trying to think of a way out of this mess. A way that would not entail unwanted attention. Suddenly Remus looked up, smiling. "I think I have an idea of who to ask. And they won't alert anyone." He ran to the door, opened it, and disappeared.

Things were going perfectly well on Demi's date until . . .

A loud bang caused everyone in the Three Broomsticks to turn and look at the door. A piece of parchment in the shape of a paper airplane floated towards Demi. She recognized Remus' untidy scrawl and ripped it open. Jeremiah watched as her eyes moved side to side, and she got paler. She turned back to him. "it's something urgent. Dumbledore needs me" she lied.

Demi looked at Jeremiah who said, "Go. He needs you. I understand."

"I'm so sorry." She pulled out a few galleons and left them on the table. "I had a great time."

"Me too." The pair shared an awkward hug and stared at each other. He coughed slightly and said, "you should hurry."

"Alright, alright," Demi and Jeremiah stood up. "See you around." She got on her tiptoes and gave him a peck on the cheek before running out of the bar.

Demi ran up the stairs and to the seventh floor, turned left down the corridor, where she saw Remus, standing by the tapestry of Barnabus the Barmy teaching trolls ballet. "You called?"

He looked up and saw her, his mouth open in shock. "I sent that note about five minutes ago. It's at least a half hour from Hogsmeade back to here, and s while longer with Filch prodding people. Did you take the coach?"

"No I ran" she said.

"From Hogsmeade?"

"Yes. What did you need me for?" she asked. "I knew you guys were researching Anmagi, but I didn't think you were going to try."

"Come into the Room of Requirement and you'll see exactly why we needed you" said Remus. He took her by the hand and the pair walked by the same chunk of the wall three times, until a door appeared.

"No way" muttered Demi. "You found it!"

"Yeah, by accident of course." Remus opened the door and gestured for her to go in.

"Who is that?" she asked. Upon entering the room she was face to face with a large black dog's hairy bum.

Sirius turned around slowly, he looked at Demi and back at Remus, "you brought her!?" he yelled. "She's the last person I wanted to see while I'm in this mess."

"Well, I can leave if you'd like" Demi replied sarcastically, while James, Remus, and Peter laughed.

"'No, no. I need your help. Please love?" Sirius asked, wagging his tail for added effect.

"Fine," she grumbled. The four boys explained what happened to Sirius. Demi sat there in silence for a moment, frowning.

"Are you mad at us?" asked James, tentatively as he walked over and sat next to her.

"No, she's mad at me" said Sirius, as he collapsed next to her.

"I am mad, but not for the reason you think. I'll help you on one condition."

"What?" asked the boys.

"I want to join you."

"NO!" they yelled.

"It's far too dangerous" said Remus.

"I'm not having my sister in danger" said James.

"Look at me? Do you wanna be like me?" asked Sirius, gesturing to his mismatched figure.

"It's hard" said Peter.

"No, I want to join you. Remus is my best mate too," she said. The four boys looked at one another before looking back at her. "Fine" they grumbled.

"Alright. So, to fix Sirius, I need paprika, some water, and some hellebore, a bit of green tea, and a lime." The room provided her with those ingredients, a cauldron, fire, and spoon all on a small table. The boys watched as she mixed the ingredients in the cauldron and allowed it to boil. A few minutes went by and she poured the liquid into a small goblet that the room had conjured. "Okay Sirius, you need to drink this, in one go. Otherwise it won't work."

Sirius trotted over to her and sniffed the cup apprehensively. "It smells like piss, probably tastes like it too."

"Have you had experiences with that Sirius?" James asked casually, while the others laughed.

Sirius growled, and looked back at Demi, "this better work."

"Oh, it will" she said, nodding her head and holding the glass so Sirius could drink. They watched as he placed his lips on the rim and drank it all. When it was finished, he stumpled backwards and closed his eyes. "I don't feel anything. Is it working?" he asked.

The three boys and Demi watched as Sirius stayed the same. Slowly, Sirius opened his eyes. "What the -. Nothing happened," he said frowning.

That was when Demi burst out laughing. "Oh, I can't believe you fell for it," She said, wiping tears out of her eyes. They all watched, as she fell to the floor and rolled around.

Sirius walked over to her, "what did you say?"

Just then Remus began to laugh as well, "she tricked you" he said as he gasped for air. "She made you drink that shit for nothing."

Suddenly Peter and James began to laugh as well.

"Hey! Love! I know it's bloody hilarious and everything, but get me out of this shit now!" Sirius yelled, stomping his foreleg.

Demi stopped laughing and pulled out her wand, "homorphus" she said, and suddenly Sirius was back to normal, but with a very red face.

"I can't believe you pulled one over on me," he said, burying her in a hug.

"I'm sorry, but you lot were making such a big deal about me wanting to become an Animagi, I took advantage of the predicament you were in. The look on your face was hilarious, that's definitely going in the photo album."

"Wait, you're actually going to join us?" said James. "I thought you were joking."

"No, I want to do this," Demi said, sitting back down on the sofa.

Sirius came and sat down next to her, "you can't. It's too dangerous. Someone has to be able to explain things to the adults should anything happen. That's your job."

"Who was going to explain the problem you were in to the adults if it weren't for me? I know about Animagi, McGonagall used to teach me about it during the holidays. I know more unknown facts about it than you lot, and I know the problems, as well as the solutions. I just proved it now, didn't I?" she said.

The four boys looked at one another and nodded. They all knew how stubborn Demi was. She was practically a female Sirius. "Fine, you can join us. Just don't blame us if you get hurt" said Remus, sitting on her other side.

"I won't."

"I'm surprised you didn't follow us here today. We thought you were in Hogsmeade with Golde," said Sirius.

"I was," Demi replied.

"When did you get back?" asked James.

"When Remus called me," she replied.

"But Remus left the room for like 5 minutes. Hogsmeade is half and hour's walk from here," said Peter.

"I know, I asked her about it when she got here," said Remus.

"How'd you get here so quickly?" asked Sirius, while the others listened closely.

"I got Remus' note, and I ran back here as fast as I could," she replied.

"You managed to run a 30 minute walk in like three minutes? What are you an Olympian?" asked Remus. Demi shook her head laughing.

"A what?" asked James and Sirius.

"Nothing" said Remus.

"I'm just a fast runner okay?" she said. The others dropped the topic. They knew pushing Demi for information wasn't a good thing. She would get very emotionally distressed when they pushed her. "So, is it only Sirius who can transform?"

"No, James can as well," said Remus.

"Really? In to what?" asked Demi.

"A stag."

"Seems appropriate," she replied, "what about you Peter?"

"My patronus is a rat, so I assume that is my animagus form as well. I just can't transform. I" find it difficult."

"So, your forms are based off your patronus, which means you can all conjure a corporeal patronus?" she looked around at the four, impressed.

"Yeah, mine's a wolf" said Remus. "No surprise. We just have to teach you and then we'll be able to figure out what you are."

"Well, that should be easy" Demi mumbled sarcastically.

"Come on love, I'll teach you" said Sirius, standing up and offering Demi a hand. They walked into the middle of the room. "Okay, so the incantation is Expecto Patronum. Now, for this to work, you have to think of the happiest memory you have . . .
