(A/N): Hey Guys! Crap, crap, CRAP! I only just realised this chapter was missing, a few weeks after I uploaded the next one... oops. That must have confused you guys pretty majorly...

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my own stupidity... now where did I put that receipt?

I was shaken awake the next morning by Elaine, who held up a finger to tell me to be quiet.

She dragged me out of bed and gripped my wrist tightly, pulling me through the corridors to the Room of Requirement.

"Elaine, what's going on?" I asked as we entered, before the sight before me answered my question.

In front of me was a circle, made up by ingredients, ingredients I recognised as being vital for the animagus transformation.

"Elaine..." I said warningly, but she shushed me. Actually shushed me!

She stepped into the circle, moving to pop a bay sprig in her mouth.

"Don't." Both of us jumped in surprise, turning to see Leo leaning against one of the tables.

"I'll do what I want." Elaine told him defensively, moving again.

"Don't." Leo said again, standing in front of Elaine, now with the bay sprig in his hand.

"Why?" She growled, and I could tell that she was resisting the urge to stomp her foot.

"Because if you do it like that, you will die." Elaine and I stared at him for a minute, and he shrugged. "Or at least lose a limb." He snapped a single leaf off the bay sprig and handed it to her, leaving the rest on a table. "Don't chew." She stared at him with wide eyes before nodding sharply.

"Sit." She hesitated for a second before doing as he said.

With her in the centre of the circle, he studied the ingredients for a minute, rearranging some, breaking bits off others.

"Okay, you should be good." Elaine stared at him before she raised her wand, pointing it at herself, and starting to chant.

"Proserpina, dea mutationem-"

"That's an a, not an e." Leo told her. Several times. Eventually, he just sighed, took out his own wand, and did it himself.

""Proserpina, dea mutationem nobis pro nobis melius mutare, coibant cum spiritus animalis. Concede nobis ut cum ipsis verus Deus Persephone!" The ingredients started to glow, and Elaine's eyes widened in terror.

""Spiritus animalis apparent!" There was a slight flash, not actually bright, but more blurring Elaine's form. Then, the flash disappeared, and she started to change.

"Moony, get out." Leo's tone was serious, completely so, and I headed for the door without question, closing it tightly behind me.

(A/N): Sorry for the mixup guys!

This chapter has had minor edits made to it on 30/12/22 - Please note that the animagi transformation isn't accurate to canon, because at the time where I originally wrote the transformation scenes, there was very little information on the animagi transformation available. By the time the information came out, it was way too late for me to be able to change it without rewriting large chunks of this story.
