Two months had passed quickly for James, Sirius, Peter and Milly. They had been preparing themselves from becoming an animagus. They had used the Patronus charm to know what their animagus form would be. They didn't have a hard time conjuring their patronuses except from Peter. James, Sirius and Milly were advance when it came to casting spells .They also read from the book that they can still communicate with each other even their in their animal forms. Tonight would be the night where they would become an animagus if they were lucky. After eating dinner in the great hall, the four used James' invisibility cloak and went to the room of requirements. They had accidentally found that room when they were hiding from Flinch in their third year. Milly stirred the potion and filled the four empty goblets. Milly took one goblet and gave the remaining three to her friends.
"Are you sure that the potion you made wouldn't kill us?" James asked looking on the goblet.
"Remus, Severus and Lily helped me making this potion even though they didn't have an idea that they were helping us." Milly assured them.
"If my Lily helped, I'm sure that this thing could do no harm" James said and Peter nodded.
"Let's just get this over with."Sirius suggested.
"I swear to Merlin I'll be a marauder if it worked." Milly gulped.
"Alright then, for the marauders and for our princess to be." Sirius raised his goblet and the rest followed. They clicked their goblets then they drank it.
As they drank the potion, they felt the liquid turned hot as it goes inside their body. The potion that they drank tasted much worse than the polyjuice potion that they drank in their third year for their prank. The four gryffindor's read the spell written in the book that Milly provided. Slowly, their body was being replaced by animal body parts. A horn grew on James' head, Fur grew everywhere on Sirius' body, Peter shrunk and Milly's mouth was replaced by a beak. A minute later, there was no visible human inside the room. Only a dog, a rat, stag and eagle were there. No sounds were made inside the room for the animal were too busy studying their animagus form. They were amazed that even without a help of a professional animagus or training from the ministry they managed to turn themselves into animals. Who would have thought that these four students who usually cause trouble could be an animagus in a very young age? They did, but to others they would call it madness.
"It worked! My mates, it worked!" James said but you can only hear a stag making a noise if you're not an animagus.
"We finally made it!" Sirius barked looking to his friends who were currently on their animal forms.
"My goodness! Look, I have fluffy wings!" Milly showed them her wings. Peter on the other hand, was speechless since his animagus form isn't something to brag about.
"Milly we succeeded!" James looked to Milly.
"I know, isn't it marvelous?"Milly continued to stare on her eagle form.
"I meant you're now our princess." The stag stepped forward and bowed to the eagle.
" Peter, let us pay respect to our one and only princess" The dog also bowed, so did the rat.
"Mates, stop this rubbish, it is not necessary for you to bow to me. " Milly chuckled.
"We waited for years for you to join us, Milly." James sighed.
"We should first transform back into our normal selves so we can celebrate!" Sirius yelled.
A minute later, the animals turned into humans.
"That's" Sirius said looking around.
"Wicked!" James exclaimed chuckling.
"And now we can truly celebrate!"Sirius and James said as the room of requirement changed into something that looks like the great hall which only has one table with foods and drinks on it. The four new animagi talked and had a good time. Peter on the other hand, kept on looking at his pocket watch.
"Peter you should stop looking at the time." Sirius scolded him.
"We should all celebrate remember?" James drank a pumpkin juice. Peter quickly hid his pocket watch.
"Anyway, what time is it already Peter?" Milly yawned.
"It is already two past midnight." Peter croaked.
"What? It is already late, mates. We have classes tomorrow!" Milly yelled grabbing Sirius and James' arm.
"What's with the hurry?" James and Sirius asked Milly.
"Were already late and you two are going to ask me what's with the hurry?" Milly raised an eyebrow at them.
"Fine, fine let's go to our dorms already before Milly turns into an eagle and peck our eyes" James said and all of them laughed except Milly. They left the room of requirement when James stopped.
"What is it, mate?" Sirius looked to James.
"We shouldn't use the cloak."James grinned at his friends. Sirius and Milly grinned back at him. Sirius and Milly already knew what James meant.
"The last one who'll get in our dorms, lose." Milly smirked at them but Peter on the other hand was nervous. He knew that he'll be the one to lose because his animal form is just a rat compared to his friends.
"In the count of three."James said. The four of them transformed into animals and went to their dormitories. Sirius was the first, Milly and James arrived at the same time and the last one was Peter. They entered their dorms, laughing with each other. Milly went to the girl's dorm while the three went to the boy's dorm. They finally went to bed and slept peacefully.
