~Chapter 6~

*two weeks into October*

Alex finished up her work in the library and was putting away the books she had used. As the last book floated to its shelf, she paused to look outside one of the windows. It looked quite beautiful, it was halfway through October and the leaves were already changing colors.

One last look out the window, Alex headed back to the table she was using. There, at the table sat Sirius Black. As she got closer to the table, he stood up and smiled at her.

"May I walk you to dinner?" the black haired wizard asked, with a bow of sorts. Alex just laughed as she gathered her parchment and stuff.

"Alright," she sighed, Sirius just gave her a giant smile. They quickly went up to the dorms so Alex could put her stuff away.

Walking down to the Great Hall, Sirius linked arms with Alex, making her laugh as he tried to get her to skip with him. Sirius smiled widely, "you look better with a smile," he told her. Alex blushed and quickly looked away. "Was that a blush?" he said, pretending to be shocked.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about," she stuttered slightly. Sirius gave a barking laugh and Alex muttered, 'stupid mutt," under her breath.

"Mutt?" Sirius stopped laughing and looked at her, "You always call me that when you seem annoyed with me, why is that?" He looked at her curiously. Alex shifted under his gaze and quickly said, "No reason," quite softly.

"Really now?" Sirius now stopped, smirking, pushing away the dirty thoughts as she squirmed under his gaze, "So what would you do if I started to call you a mutt, when annoyed?"

"I'm not a mutt!" she glared at him, turning to face him. "I am nowhere near being a mutt," she said not thinking, "unlike your animagus form, mutt." She crossed her arms.

"How do you know I'm an animagus," Sirius asked, "and a dog?" Alex's hands went to her mouth, 'damn it! I'm not supposed to know about that!' she yelled in her head.

"W-w-we have to get to dinner!" she stuttered out as she began to get away quickly. She didn't get far when Sirius caught up, grabbing her arm, stopping her from getting away.

"Normally people answer questions they are asked," Sirius said, in a joking tone, as he pulled her to him. He took hold of her forearms, making sure she didn't get away. His dark grey eyes bore down at her, "I don't really care that you know, I'm just wondering about how you know." He told the witch quietly. He brought one hand up to Alex's chin, making her lookup at him.

"I saw you change once," Alex said softly, it was slightly the truth, "Also, I can smell the dog on you." She looked up into his eyes.

"Really?" he said smirking, he let go of her and transformed into his shaggy black dog form, he gave a happy bark. Alex bent down laughing and scratched his head. Sirius jumped up and licked Alex's face.

"Sirius!" Alex yelled, as she fell back on to her butt. "Two can play that game," Alex closed her eyes and she too transformed, she into a black border collie form, she gave a bark. Sirius's ears perked up and gave another bark. Alex made a gesture with her muzzle, motioning for him to follow her. After Sirius gave a nod, Alex took off running and Sirius was hot on her tail.

They ran down the stairs and past the students heading for dinner. They quickly circled around the Marauder group, with Lily, Hermione, and Ginny. They all laughed as the two dogs yipped playfully and jumped happily about.

"What are you doing, Snuffles?" Remus asked Sirius, in between laughs. Sirius just barked in reply. Remus went down on one knee and gave him a hard look.

"Mr. Lupin may I ask what is going on?" Professor McGonagall came through the crowd.

"I'm sorry professor," Remus stood and gently grabbed Sirius's fur, "I'll take him outside. Come on Snuffles." He maneuvered Sirius towards the doors.

"Mr. Lupin," McGonagall said, Remus turned to see what she needed. She pointed to Alex, in dog form. Remus opened his mouth to say something, but Hermione beat him to it.

"She belongs to me, professor," Hermione chimed in as she took a hold of Alex's fur, "I'll take her out, come on, baby," Alex gave a small bark as Hermione and Remus brought the dogs outside. McGonagall sighed as she got the students to go into the Great Hall. James, Lily, and Ginny snuck out of the castle, following their friends outside. Once outside they saw the two dogs playfully playing.

The three of them joined Hermione and Remus laughing. "Hey Padfoot!" James yelled, "Want to explain what you are thinking?" Sirius turned his attention away from Alex, to look at his friends. Just as he looked away, Alex tackled him. Giving a sigh, Sirius changed back into human. "Alright you win," he laughed, "you want to get off; we kind of have to explain." Alex gave him a lick, and then transformed back into herself, and smiled down at him.

"Alright," Alex smiled, then softly blushed realizing she was straddling Sirius. She quickly got off of him and held a hand out to help the wizard up. Sirius took her hand, and stood up also. They both turned to their friends, James and Remus looked confused.

Remus found his voice first, "So you're an animagus." He said softly.

"Yup, I've been one for about 3 years, same with Mione and Ginny, we all learned together." The black haired witch said cheerfully as she skipped over to her two friends.

"You all are animagi?" Sirius said slightly surprised. "What do you two change into then?" Ginny and Hermione exchanged a look, then closing their eyes and transformed. Hermione into a beautiful sliver wolf, the wolf barked happily its chocolate brown eyes the same as Hermione's. Ginny, on the other hand, transformed into a fox; whose fur was the exact fiery red as her hair was. Alex laughed and bent down to pick Ginny up.

"And if you think about it, our animals are quite fitting too," she laughed, Ginny squirmed in her arms. Alex let the fox go, jumping gracefully to the ground she ran over to Lily, who sat down to play with Ginny.

"A wolf, eh?" James whispered to Remus as Hermione came up to the two of them. James quickly retreated as the wolf began to circle them. Remus locked eyes with the circling wolf; his normal blue-grey eyes now had hints of amber in them. Hermione stopped her circling and was now standing in front of Remus. She went down in a crouch, as if to attack, her chocolate-brown eyes sparkled mischievously.

"Hermione," Remus said warningly. The others stopped and were watching the two. If wolves could smile, Hermione was. Both she and Remus kept still for a long time when suddenly she pounced, tackling Remus to the ground. A barking laugh slowly changed into Hermione's quiet laugh, as she changed back. Remus growled deeply, and before the witch realized it he flipped them, so he had her pinned.

Alex quickly took the attention away from the two, by changing and getting them to play catch with her.

Hermione was blushing madly; "Remus" softly came from her lips. Remus blinked quickly, and the amber in his eyes softly faded from his eyes. He looked confused at first, but then started blushing just as much as Hermione.

"S-s-sorry," He stammered and started to mutter how sorry he was. Hermione gently placed her finger upon his lips to quiet him. "What are you apologizing for?" she asked him. He started muttering again, this time about flipping her and pinning her.

"Remus," the brunette said, shutting him up once again, "You don't have to apologize to me." She told him, looking straight into his eyes. Hermione blushed even deeper noticing how close Remus was. 'If I were to lean a little forward I would be kissing him,' the thought ran through her mind. She shook her head softly, and tried to keep her eyes on his, but they kept going back to his lips.

Remus watched as her eyes flitted around, and then land on his lips, her cognac eyes seemed slightly glazed over. Remus unconsciously moved forward, he placed his lips tentatively on hers. Her eyes fluttered closed, as she kissed back. Remus softly brushed his tongue on Hermione's bottom lip, making her let out a quiet moan, only for him, with that he deepened the kiss.

They broke apart, blushing deeply, needing air. "Yeah, Mooney!" a voice broke their trance. The two of them looked up to see Alex elbowing Sirius.

"What was that for?" Sirius complained to her.

"You couldn't have let them a few more minutes of their moment?" she glared at the dark haired wizard. Sirius shrugged, muttering under his breath.

"Nothing we can do about it now," Ginny sighed, "Come on you two love birds, come play."
