A/N CHAPTER THREE HAS ARRIVED!
You lucky lucky people.
Ok. So.
The first two chapters were really short (but heythey could've been shorter right?) and I apologise for that.
And it took me really long just to post those bloody chapters. So I guess I'm a bit sorry for THAT.
And now before I make any more apologies, CHAPTER THREE EVERYONE!
Chapter Three-"I am a WHAT?" "She's a WHAT?!"
Remus walked into the kitchen, and looked at his calendar.
"Shnipe."he muttered, not actually swearing in case Lily was around. She was only five after all...
It was a full moon tonight.
And the Weasley's weren't home, they were visiting the children's old Aunt Muriel.
Remus really swore now.
"This is just great." He muttered.
"What's just great?" Lily's voice said, and he turned to see her walk into the room.
"Oh nothing." Remus muttered.
Lily shrugged and made to sit across from him at the rickety old table.
"Hey spitfire?" He asked casually.
"Yeah?" Lily asked as she clambered onto the chair.
"Why don't you um...go grab me some parchment and a quill?" Remus watched her make a face but she went to get the supplies anyways.
When she was gone, he sighed.
How was he supposed to protect her and his secret if he couldn't have her spend a couple of days at the Weasley's?
He was suddenly shaken from his grim thoughts by a loud clang and a shout of "DADDYS GONNA KILL ME!"
Remus ran into the room to see Lily covered in ink which changed colors every few seconds, and parchment scattered around her feet.
"My accidental magic makes accidents." She flushed.
"I would yell at you but this is kind of funny." Remus chuckled, and muttered,"Accio Camera!"
He quickly snapped a picture of the mess she'd made, and then helped her to clean up.
At seven, Remus noticed the sky growing dark. He quickly had Lily get ready for bed, then tucked her in without a story.
Once sure she was asleep, he crept downstairs, looking out the window.
Bad move, Lupin, was his last thought before the transformation begun.
His wolf ears picked up the sound of footsteps, and he whirled around.
Not quite fully a werewolf yet, he recognized Lily as she stood not ten feet away from him and murmured, "Daddy?"
All of a sudden, his transformation was complete, and his werewolf brain did not realize who the small morsel in front of him actually was.
He howled, and she did the only logical thing a small five year old girl would do in that situation.
She screamed bloody murder.
Her screams grew louder, and the air around them buzzed.
Her accidental magic...
Even in his wolf form he sensed danger, and yet sensed something else as well...
Lily meanwhile was still screaming, her tiny fists shaking, the air around her smelled as if it was burning.
As she screamed magic pulsed from her, surrounding her was a soft but powerful gold glow.
Inside she was changing more than anyone could believe, and later Remus wouldn't believe it for a while for it was unthinkable, undoable, purely impossible, for anyone.
Lily was becoming an Animagus capable of changing into any animal. Every animal.
And then the little girl before him was no more, and an eagle soared from the house, through the door Remus had opened when he looked out the window.
The eagles cries were soon gone as it flew into the distance, till it was a dot in the sky.
Until it was gone.
The werewolf hoped it would be back...it wondered what eagles tasted like.
Lily's POV
Lily flew until her arms ached. Or were they her wings? She wasn't really sure about that...
But when she thought about it, she wasn't really sure about anything right then.
Seeing a tree below, she landed on the ground and was a five year old human again as she began to cry.
Why had she been an eagle? Why had that...thing been in her house? Where had Daddy gone?
Confused, hurt and alone, Lily continued to cry.
She wished she had gone to the Weasley's. Then she and Georgie and Freddie would play pranks and tell jokes and have Quidditch matches with Charlie and Bill and Ron.
Lily sobbed harder as an image of the horrid beast wormed its way into the front of her mind.
She never noticed that she fell asleep until she woke up, and feeling like she knew the way home, she turned into another bird, black as night, and flew back to where she was staying with Remus.
Maybe, she thought hopefully as she flew over the hills with the sunrise at her back, maybe that horrid monster is gone.
And so it was. Lily made it home safely (mostly) and found her 'daddy' sleeping on the floor, curled in a tight ball.
She covered him with a blanket, trying to ignore the wreckage that the beast must have caused.
Lily didn't realise Remus was actually awake.
And as she trudged up the stairs, Remus opened his eyes and whispered to the destroyed sitting room,
"Little do you know spitfire."
Well what did you think? Two chapters in a day... I guess I feel bad for not updating? Review please! Even if it's not as long as you hoped...
Congrats to those who guessed Lily's birthday! (March 31st) here are those cookies *showers everyone with virtual cookies*
Hope you enjoyed it!
