Chapter 3-Animagus
Remus was clinging to my neck for dear life.
Using Legilimency, I said,"Just open your eyes and let of my neck."
Hesitating, he did so before laughing.
"It feels like I'm free!" was what I heard.
Neighing so loudly I could hear the people in the castle wake up, I soared through the air towards the camp.
Seeing it come into view, I asked Remus, "Is it okay if I go into a dive? I won't let you fall off."
"Sure, why not? I want to see what it feels like!" came the reply.
Neighing loudly again, I plunged into a steep, almost verticle nose dive.
Right before I touched the ground, I pulled up and landed smoothly.
Remus slid off my back and then I changed back to human.
"Well. That was fun!" Remus exclaimed. He looked like he had enjoyed himself.
"Sure looked like it. What did you do to him?" Sirius directed the question towards me.
"Nothing. Just showed him how much he could have when flying," I whispered back fiercly to him.
Remus had noticed us talking to each other and quietly crept up behind me. Sirius saw this, but he kept quiet.
"BOO!" Remus shouted. Shrieking, I jumped into the air and transformed into a purple and black phoenix.
I flew a couple circles then landed back on Sirius's shoulder.
Feeling a sudden weight on his shoulder, he looked up and saw me.
"Where the hell did you come from?" he asked.
"Hey James! Come look at this! It just landed on Sirius's shoulder. We don't know where Kadi went though," Remus said to James.
James walked over and looked at me.
"Unique colors. I've only ever seen the red and gold ones. Pheonix's with this coloring are thought to be extinct. Guess one survived," James said.
"Hey guys?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think this could be Kadi? I mean, she already has two animagus forms, why not this one and possibly more?"
Just for a little show, I changed into a light blue phoenix.
Sirius's hand had gone up to pet me, but it stopped when he saw I was a different color.
"Bloody hell! How'd you change colors?" James asked.
"It's gotta be Kadi, doesn't it?" Sirius asked.
Shrieking a cry, I nodded.
Remus was the one who saw me nod my head because James and Sirius were bickering .
Looking startled, he said,"Uh, guys? The bird just nodded their head. I think it agreed with something one of you said."
"It's got to be agreeing with me that it's Kadi!" Sirius said.
Shrieking another cry, I nodded my head again.
James looked bewildered, Remus looked disbeliefed, and Peter was well... Peter.
"Well then. Kadi, would you get off my shoulder and change back?" Sirius asked.
Without another word, I jumped off his shoulder and transformed, landing on my feet.
"You know, it's fun watching you guys debate. It can be over the stupidest things, but it's funny," I said.
"Very funny. Now can we get the ingrediants we came here for and then leave?" James asked.
"Right. Almost forgot about that," I said.
Turning around, I walked over to Baldor and Firenze.
Without really any hassle, I got the ingrediants from them.
As we were walking back to the castle, Sirius asked me, "How do you have so many Animagus forms? You're only supposed to have one form. Do you have more than just those four or are they it?"
"Got a few more. Nothing big," I said.
"Nothing big!" James exclaimed. "Nobody can have more than one animagus form. You having two let alone more than four is seriously rare!"
"Really?" I asked. "I thought that you had to have at least two in order to get registered. Now I know why the Ministry acted the way they did."
"You're registered?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah. All my forms are. I got 3 dragons, 1 white tiger, the pegasus, the unicorn, 3 pheonixs, 4 wolves, 1 giant spider, and 1 humongous snake," I said.
They stopped to stare at me with their mouths hanging open.
"Now we know why you're called 'Animal One' by the centuars and the unicorns," Sirius said.
"Oh, that. Yeah, well I kind of saved the lives of one of the royal family in each specie."
"Wow" he said.
When we were halfway to the castle, I checked the time. Upon seeing it, I exclaimed," Oh shit! It's already quarter to 3. The Fat Lady only gets 15 more minutes of sleep!"
"What do you mean by that?" Sirius asked.
"Everyday at around 3 in the morning, the Fat Lady gets woken up by me," I said.
"That's weird," James said.
We walked in silence for a few more minutes, making it to the doors and in the castle.
"Just follow me and we can make the potion after I get the other ingrediants," I said.
Nodding, they followed me through a complex series of twists and turns only to end up right in front of a sleeping Fat Lady.
I knocked on the portrait a couple of times to wake her up.
Startled, she snapped her eyes open. Upon seeing the boys, she calmed down immediately, but had confusion on her face when she saw me in the lead.
"You're not a Gryffindor!" she exclaimed.
"Yes I am," I said back.
"No, you're not."
Not wanting to have this conversation with her, I changed to a short person with slightly wavy brown hair.
Gasping, she nodded and said,"You're the one waking me up early in the morning!"
"I do believe that we went over this, this morning. Didn't we?"
"Oh right. I should've gotten used to it by now. I mean, you started in first year and now you're in you third. Guess I'll never learn."
Nodding, I said, "Guess not. Can we go in now?"
"Wha-oh, yeah," She opened the portrait and we all climbed through.
The fireplace still had a few dying embers in it, but was about to die.
Gesturing towards the couches, I said,"Wait here. I've got to go get the rest of the ingrediants."
Running up the stairs, I opened the door quietly because my roommates were most likely sleeping.
Poking my head around the door to make sure, I hurried to my trunk and grabbed my supplies once seeing they were asleep.
I ran back down the stairs, only to find the boys talking about me.
"Don't you think it's weird that THE HOGWARTS PHANTOM ran into us and is helping us with a prank?" Remus said.
"A little bit. But we got to meet a pranking legend. I mean she's so legendary there has been news reports about her! The whole world's bound to know about her!" Sirius exclaimed.
"I bet they do. I just want to know what they see when they picture her, don't you?" James asked.
They carried on with their conversation, while I snuck up behind where Sirius was sitting alone.
James saw what I was doing, but kept quiet when I shook my head and put my fingers over my lips.
"They think that it's a little girl with pale skin, black hair, black eyes and that's a 7th year Ravenclaw," I said making Sirius jump so bad that he fell off the couch.
Laughing, I helped him up. I set the ingrediants on the table in front of the couch, then sat down next to Sirius.
Turning to them, I said, "Someone'll have to help me make it."
"I think Sirius is the only one here who knows how to," James said.
Nodding, I said, "Do you know the potion by heart or no?"
"By heart. How else you going to learn?" Sirius asked.
"You never know. Some people try to learn from a book."
He looked horrified by that thought.
Laughing, I beckoned him over.
Pointing to the red dye, unicorn hair and the 3 quarts of water, I said, "You do those and I'll do the rest."
"Alright."
I made a flame and put the cauldron on it. Sirius put the 3 quarts of water in. As it started to boil, he dumped all the red dye in. He stirred it 3 times counterclockwise. We let that boil for a few minutes then put the gold dye in, stirring 3 times clockwise. Letting that simmer for another few minutes, we put in both pieces of hair and stirred once clockwise and 10 times counterclockwise. We let it boil for 5 more minutes then took it off the fire and turned the fire off.
When the potion cooled down, we put it in 4 glass containers.
Sirius and I kept one for ourselves then we turned around and gave the last 2 to James and Remus.
"Come on. We've got to do this before they wake up," I said.
A/N: I'm in the process of writing the fourth chapter, so it might be a little bit before the next chapter gets up. I'm also thinking about doing a Twilight one where it's a Sam/OC story. What do you guys think? Yes, no? Please R&R with your answer
