Recap:
Hermione and Ginny stared at each other then back o the two smirking Slytherins and before either one of them could do anything Ginny brandished her wand and Hermione simply held her hand up to the two armed slytherins when Malfoy disarmed Ginny thinking she was the only threat and laughing maniacally.
" You have no wand and your sister has no wand so what do you think your going to do to us with your hands up."
Snape looked smug like Malfoy but was slightly more alert and with a flick of Hermione's wrist they were disarmed of all three wands and were hanging upside down by their ankles glaring at the Gryfindor girls.
Sirius, James and Remus looked impressed they had never seen wandless magic performed by a student, and she never even opened her mouth. This girl was amazing.
Outside at the lake Ginny and Hermione sat down on the grass under a huge oak tree, it was a calm cool day, the sun was shinning and there was not a cloud in the sky.
As Ginny and Hermione were sitting there relaxing and enjoying the general silence, they were unaware of certain Marauders slowly making their way towards the girls under the Invisibility cloak.
The guy's stopped about 3 feet away from the girls by a large bush, even though they were under the invisibility cloak they felt the need to be covered less a breeze comes along and blows their cover.
" So Hermione what were you saying about last week?"
" Oh yes well you know why I was talking to Dumbledore well would you come with me for my transformation, I really don't want to go through this alone."
" Hermione I was going weather you let me or not and your not looking to well, worse than usual, plus you wont hurt me if I go as Vixy so everythings good."
" Oh thank you Ginny I really don't want to go through my first alone."
" Hermione you will never be alone, trust me I will be there with you through this as long as we live."
Hermione jumped on Ginny and gave her a hug to say thank you for everything when Hermione started laughing, Ginny looked at Hermione funny before asking her what she was laughing at.
" I just realised I spent the best part of a year before the war becoming an unregistered Animagus, and now ill barely need to use this power."
" Yes well at least since I'm one too. I can help you, see it will all work out, and you can still use your form if we decide to sneak off to Hogsmeade."
Hermione and Ginny were Laughing and joking for the better part of ten minutes when a light breeze drifted over to the girls from where the Marauders lay hidden.
Hermione caught the scent and realised it smelled oddly familiar and then it clicked … it was the Marauders she could not misplace the faint spicy smell coming from Sirius mixed with his natural musk. Nor the soft sweet smell coming from James but Remus smelled Different he had a type of Dominance mixed with his scent, yes definitely mixed with Hormones, he just reeked of testosterone.
She found this scent oddly endearing, she also realised they were under the cloak, she could sense their presence though not being able to see them she guessed they had the cloak. Hemione became entranced, but when Ginny had noticed that Hermione spaced out she asked her what was wrong.
" Hermione what's wrong, are you ok."
" Yes Ginny I smell something though."
The Marauders looked at each other curiously then back to the girls.
Hermione beckoned Ginny closer as she whispered something in Ginny's ear.
Ginny got a wide smile across her face and a devilish glint in her eyes as Hermione explained the plan further in her ear.
Without any notice, Ginny jumped up from her place and said goodbye, Hermione took a book out of her bag to pretend to read.
Ginny winked at Hermione and slowly pretended to walk back to the castle, the guys still had their eyes on Hermione, watching her intently, some more than others.
After a few minutes passed Ginny slowly walked up behind the unsuspecting Marauders and waited for Hermione's signal to tell her she was right behind them which was Hermione dropping her book.
When Ginny got the signal she stealthily moved up behind them like a lioness stalking its prey and whispered to the supposed empty space.
" You guys its very rude to eaves drop, let alone stare."
At the sound of Ginny's voice behind them, all three boys jumped backwards causing them to fall into a huge pile of tangled limbs and causing the girls to fall to the ground clutching their stomachs trying to breath through the laughter.
" Oh…my god…your faces…Ha so Funny…" Was all Ginny could muster through her laughter while Hermione was simply rolling on the grass laughing.
As the boys untangled their limbs from each other, they tried to gather their composure, but failed miserably as they began laughing themselves.
As the Marauders, Hermione and Ginny had calmed down they, all went to sit under the oak tree to talk for a while.
" How did you know we were under the cloak?" James asked and Hermione was the one to answer.
" Well back in our old school our two best friends had an Invisibility cloak and well if you see someone disappear under one enough you kind of get a sense to when there's one around and plus being Granddaughters of the headmaster has its advantages."
" How so."
Ginny and Hermione shrugged and just answered truthfully," He can see right through them literally, we could never sneak anywhere."
All Three boys looked on at the girls in awh haven not fully gotten over the fact they were related to Dumbledore.
When the three boys turned to look at the girls and smiled devilishly.
" Oh and thanks for the little present in the Entrance Hall, That was some cool magic though we thought they could hang around for awhile." James said thoughtfully.
" Ad where did you learn silent wandless magic Hermione?"
"As I said being the old Dumbly's Granddaughter has its advantages, "Hermione winked at Remus who just blushed.
As the Girls and the Marauders settled down to talking again, they had not realised how close they were sitting to each other. Ginny was practically sitting on Sirius' lap not that he minded in the least, And Hermione was sitting in the exact same position beside Remus much to both of their embarrassment, and James sat idly between the four.
Two hours later, they all decided it was time they went back in for dinner or else they would all be in trouble.
The Marauders had all come to the silent conclusion they would leave their questioning until the common room later that evening so they could get all the questions running through their minds answered, like:
' Where are these girls from ' James
' Does Ginny have a boyfriend ' Sirius
' I wonder what their Hiding ' Remus
' What were they talking about Animagus forms for ' James
' Does Ginny even like me, do I have a chance ' Sirius
' What did Hermione mean by transformation ' Remus
Dinner was rather uneventful the marauder's played their normal jokes on Severus and passed the rest of the time talking of quidditch witch Ginny enthusiastically joined in with. During that time Hermione and Remus held a quiet conversation with Lily on their latest Potions essay on the uses of Acromantula (Acromantula are the giant spiders that Hagrid is friends with, remember second movie) poison in a potion.
The common room was warm and welcoming, the fire was the only source of light filling the room and the quiet was beginning to get unnerving, as the crackling fire made the only sound.
Nearly everyone had retired to their rooms except the Marauders, Lily, Ginny and Hermione.
The Marauders were waiting for a time when they were alone so they could ask the girls the questions that have been running through there minds since the meeting under the tree near the lake.
Sirius being the most impatient of the group took it upon himself to break the silence that had engulfed the group for the last half hour.
" Ok so we want answers." Sirius' voice was direct and stern.
" What do you mean you want answers?"
" Don't act stupid, you knew we were under the cloak so you know we heard you talking." James voice was as stern as Sirius', they wanted answers Now.
" Wait you were eaves dropping on their conversation." Lily was becoming angrier the longer James spoke.
" Yes, but we wanted to know what they were hiding but they caught us."
" It doesn't matter, that is a major invasion of privacy. I can't believe you would do something like that James I…." Lily's reply was cut off by Ginny.
" Its ok Lily we'll explain everything we can but we cant guarantee we can answer all of your questions."
The Marauders and Lily looked a sceptical but were subdued by the response and began their interrogation.
" Where were you really from, before Hogwarts." James
" We were Home schooled like Grandfather said." James accepted the answer to the relief of the girls.
" What were you talking about Animagus for?" Sirius
" Well if we tell you, you can't tell anyone." Ginny was the one to speak then Hermione cut in.
" Were Animai." Everyone in the room looked shocked but Lily more so.
" Well that explains a lot." James, Sirius and Remus said in Unison.
" Really, could you show us, wait what animals are you." Lily's voice was filled with Curiosity.
" Well ok " The girls both looked around them before answering.
" I'm a Fox my Nickname is Vixy." Ginny spoke very proudly and then looked to Hermione.
" I'm a Silver Wolf and my nickname is Starfire."
' Kind of ironic now that I'm a werewolf ' though Hermione.
Hermione and Ginny both stood from their places on the couch an looked around one more time to make sure the coast was clear before they transformed. The Marauders and Lily were surprised though their forms shocked them.
Ginny was a beautiful red fox, with a large sleek tail and fur, her long slender legs that supported her nimble body were something to be desired. They were petit yet strong and overall she was indeed Beautiful, she was also slightly larger than a normal fox.
The fox was playful though sly which really reflected Ginny's personality perfectly, her red fur was a perfect imitation of her fiery locks that she sported in Human form.
Hermione on the other hand was a large silver fox with white paws her large body was intimidating to be around with her large teeth and claws.
Her Fur was soft and sleek like Ginny's though Hermione's took on a silvery sheen that was enhanced by the firelight.
The wolf was majestic with fluid motions it matched Hermione's personality perfectly both protective of its family or pack, majestic and an honoured figure in the wild society.
The Marauders were dumb struck and sat staring as the girls transformed back into their human forms and Lily had a large smile on her face and a mischief's glint in her eyes that the girls would have expected from the Marauders.
Remus sat staring at Hermione throughout the whole time in both Human and Wolf form she was beautiful 'That must have been what she meant by transformation, and that would also explain why I could sense another wolf.' Remus Thought.
" Well since you have shared your secret with us and answered some of our Questions I think it's safe if we shared a secret with you."
" What secrets could you guys have to share with us." Hermione asked curiously though she knew they were probably referring to their forms.
Lily and Ginny looked and each other Curiously while James and Sirius looked at each other with their trademark glint and stood from their seats, and walked to the place where Ginny and Hermione had stood.
" Stand back miladies." Sirius said to Ginny and Lily.
" What is this about." lily questioned.
" Just watch lily and you will be amazed." James replied with his arrogant tone.
The Girls and Remus sat back on the couch watching the other guy's, and as they began transforming, there were some audible gasps, mainly from Lily who never knew a thing.
There in front of the group was a magnificent stag with long magestic slender legs a huge muscular body with dark brown fur and a large rack of sharp antlers the stag was a very proud creature with his head held high, demanding respect.
Even though the stag looked quite intimidating, you could sense the kindness in him and his eyes showed nothing but love for his friends and family in them.
Beside the stag, there was a large black shaggy dog; it was about the size of a small wolf, which is quite big.
The dog had the appearance of a Grim, a spectrum which supposedly was a sign of death, but this dog was anything but, with its shaggy hair flailing around its toned body as it jumped around the stags feet playfully.
Sirius was still quite handsome in his dog form, which was saying a lot since he had his tongue hanging from the side of his mouth drooling.
After the initial shock of nearly everyone being Animagus in their little group the Marauders continued with their interrogation, at least now they were on even footing.
" Ok so we are all Animagi that kinda makes sense, at least it explains your weird nicknames." Hermione said.
" Yeah well not to many people know about that not even Lily did." Said James cautiously glancing at lily.
" Yes well I know now don't I."
" Right so back down to business, where and when did you learn to become Animagi."
" Two years ago and Grandfather thought us." That wasn't a total lie on Ginny's part, they had learned two years ago but Sirius had thought them along with Harry and Ron.
" And what were you saying about a war?"
" That is something we cannot tell you at least not now, maybe later but not now." Hermione said tears now welling in her eyes and threatening to fall.
Ginny leaned over to Hermione to comfort her while the Marauders looked Suspiciously at the girls but said nothing. Sirius once again broke the silence proving to everyone he was extremely impatient.
" Has this war got anything to do with that voldie fellow who has been murdering the muggles?"
" Yes and no, but that's all I will answer, this is a very touchy subject for us."
" Ok guy's that is enough questioning for now, Hermione, Ginny why don't you go to bed and ill sort these out then follow you up, ok."
" Thanks Lily we should be getting up anyway, Night." With that, Ginny and Hermione walked to the stairs of the girl's dormitories.
" Night" The room said in unison.
After the Girls were at a safe distance from the common room Lily began to speak again to the Marauders.
" I know you want answers, so do I but you have to understand this is really hard for them. You should hear them at night, barely sleeping, they are always having nightmares, both of them."
" Sorry lily we didn't know." James said softly.
" And have you guys noticed that Hermione looks really sickly and I mean worse than before."
" Yes she hasn't been eating much lately and she looks a lot like Remus does at the full moon." Said Lily, but clamped a hand over her mouth after realising what she just said.
" Lily what do you mean." Sirius asked cautiously.
" Well I kinda figured out Remus was a werewolf in my second year." Lily viably flinched when she saw the boys shocked reactions.
Though Remus' reaction your shocked her the most, he had a faint smile across his face and a look of knowing in his eyes.
" I thought you figured it out." He said still smiling.
" Well it wasn't that hard, your always gone during the full moon then in the hospital straight after your senses are a lot stronger than these two and there was the give away that you never used silver in the great hall since its dangerous to werewolves."
" But that means you figured out before us." Shouted Sirius, " we only figured out in our third year and we're his best friends."
" Yes well I'm going to bed, and please lay off Hermione and Ginny for a while they really don't need this they're only here less than a month and they are Dumbledore's grandchildren.
The boys stared after Lily as she made her way to the girls Dormitories, they couldn't believe she had known for the better part of five years and had never told a soul.
Of course, Sirius was still shocked somebody had figured out his friend's secret before he.
The rest of the night was spent in relevant silence as the Marauders thought about everything that had happened today, they had uncovered one of the girl's secrets and told one of their own.
AN: ok I didn't end this chapter on a cliffy, but so what they do not always have to end in suspense.
