Chapter 17: Learning To Be An Animagi

"Can you believe this," Hermione said as form one was coming out of Defense.

"What's wrong now?" Morrigan asked.

"Valentines Day is coming and I haven't gotten my parents a card."

"Why don't you make one and then send it," Morrigan suggested.

"Well, okay," she said, "But it can't be magical."

"Of course not," Morrigan said, grinning.

"So what are we doing next?" Hermione asked them.

"Well I'm going to the Library to look something up," Morrigan told her.

Tracy and Pansy both shook their head, saying, "You live in the Library, Morg."

"And why do you say that?" Morrigan asked her.

"Because you think that all the answers in the world can be solved by going to the Library," Tracy told her.

"And has it failed me?" Morrigan asked her.

"Well, no," Tracy said.

"Then all the answers in the world are in the Library," Morrigan told her and she and Hermione left.

Morrigan was looking for a book on how to become an Animagi. She had seen it in one of the third year books that had been lying open. She thought it would be cool to be able to change her form and not have to worry about anything, other than what an animal has to worry about. There were several books on Animagi, but nothing on how to change into one. She was sure that the book that she needed would be in the Restricted Section, but she had already been told that she would need a note to be able to check those out.

Of course she could just check out the books that she could get and work out how to change into one from the info. She checked them out, a look from Madam Pince, and then she left. When she got back to her dorm she opened the book and looked it over.

"Being an Animagi is a long and difficult road," the book read, "You must be focused and willing to take things slowly. This book can't show you how to be one but it can help you decide if you're able to be one."

"What are you reading?" Hermione suddenly asked, making Morrigan jump.

"Nothing," she said.

Hermione gave her a look and then she said, "Just reading something that will pop up during our third year."

"And I thought that I was bad."

Morrigan continued to read the books, taking down notes. She hadn't yet figured out how to change her form but she had done the spell to see if she could become one. It showed that her form was a raven. Morrigan figured that it had something to do with what her name meant. Morrigan decided that another book order was needed. This one on exactly how to become an Animagi.

"Happy Valentines Day, everyone," Dumbledore said on February the 14th.

"Don't remind us, Albus," McGonagall groaned.

"And what's wrong with the both of you?" Dumbledore asked, "You both didn't drink anything last night."

"No, we didn't," Snape snarled, "We just didn't get any sleep."

"And why's that?" Dumbledore asked.

Snape groaned and said, "Making sure that Quirrell doesn't get past Fluffy. Which I think is a stupid name for a dog."

"Well don't worry about that, today is fun day."

"I'm so going to fun him," Snape muttered.
