A LUPIN, A BLACK AND A POTTER: GOES TO HOGWARTS
Harry, Ron and Neville were fast asleep, both Ron and Neville were snoring loudly. Harry however had his face buried in his pillow, mumbling in his sleep. Suddenly there was a loud bang and something jumped on Harry. Waking all three boys. “Where’s the cannon?” Ron said stupidly blinking rapidly “Ronnie, Nevvy” Tristan squealed jumping on them “it’s Christmas!” “Yay Christmas” Selene said jumping on Neville’s bed. “SIRIUS GET OFF OF ME!” Harry shouted pushing a large black dog off of him. The black dog transformed into a man in Rudolf pyjamas. “Harry you know dogs have a sensitive hearing” Sirius said grinning evilly “Yeah, so what?” Harry said putting his glasses on “Well I thought I distinctly heard you mumble a certain redhead’s name in your sleep” Sirius said “Yeah….” Harry mumbled, and then he realised what Sirius said “I was just dreaming of playing a game of chess with Ron” he said quickly “Riiiiiiiiiight because I swore the name was feminine” Sirius said “Harry…. Are you gay?” Harry spluttered “what…NO! MELANIE GET RID OFF SIRIUS BEFORE I HAVE HIM NEUTURED!” Melanie who looked exhausted and annoyed came in and pulled Sirius out of the bedroom by his hair. “We’re opening the presents in the living room now” Sirius shouted as he was dragged down the stairs. They group sat down together, Ron in his maroon Weasley jumper, Ginny in her pale blue, Dora with bright red and green hair was wearing her neon pink Weasley jumper, Remus was wearing his grey Weasley jumper, Sirius was wearing a dark blue on with a large black dog, Melanie a blood red, Hermione in silver, Neville in dark brown with a sunflower on, Tristan in a mini version of Sirius, Luna in pale pink and Selene in lilac. Harry opened his Weasley package to find emerald green and like his family he shoved it on over his pyjamas. Hermione was peeking in one of her books when Remus, Harry and Sirius gasped. Harry had opened a parcel to reveal a silver liquidly cloak… the invisibility cloak. “James left that with Dumbledore” Remus whispered “I think Dumbledore thought it was time you inherited it” “I expect you to use that for pranks” Sirius said quickly “you have the map and the cloak now and when Luna joins you two the marauders will live again.” Melanie rolled her eyes “sweetie, just because you’re in a midlife crisis does not mean you can encourage the kids to misbehave” Sirius spluttered “I am not in a midlife crisis” he said indignantly then he grinned “now you lot, I hear you’ve been trying to figure out what fluffy is guarding and like I said in my letter… don’t.” Hermione, Harry, Ron and Neville raised their eyebrow. “Now what we’re going to give you is not keep you busy. You will not do the actual magic until you’re thirteen.” Remus said “but we expect you to do the research over the next two years” Dora picked a small wooden chest from behind the sofa; it had the marauders crest on it, the same on the map. Dora passed it to Melanie who took her necklace off and tapped it with her wand to make a key. She opened the chest to reveal…. Potion vials. Small vials with a deep midnight blue liquid in it. “This potion will reveal to you, your animagus form” Sirius said softly “the marauders have put a lot of effort in this. We made plenty of vials, though we have givin two away since….” “Who too?” Hermione asked “Lily and me” Dora said “I insisted and I expect Lily wanted to help Remus just as much as I did” “Only you four and Luna and Ginny can drink this. Sorry Selene but you’re too young when you’re eleven or ten we might let you” Selene nodded and turned back to her doll. The six picked up a small vial each and looked at Sirius and Remus. “Go upstairs and lay on your beds” Remus said “drink it, you’ll be in a trance for a while though I expect by the time you’re done dinner will be ready” The six nodded silently and headed up the stairs. It was dinner time and the six children came down the stairs grinning. They sat at the table and began to eat. Sirius slammed his fork down. “Go on then” he said “tell me what forms you’re got” “I’m going to be a stag like dad” Harry said Sirius cheered “you owe me five gallons Remus, I told you he’ll take after his dad” “I’m an owl” Hermione said “And now you owe me five gallons” Remus smirked “you’re father thought you’d take after him” Remus whispered to Hermione Sirius shrugged “owl suites Hermione I mean look at Hedwig she’s an intelligent creature” “I’m a dog” Ron offered Sirius grinned and patted Ron on the back. “What kind?” he asked “A Labrador” Ron said “a mixture of brown and Weasley red fur” “Labradors are good” Dora said “they have a habit of getting into trouble but they are very happy dogs” “I’m a wolf” Luna said “a blonde one” Sirius cheered “now you defiantly owe me five gallons” Neville chewed his potato slowly and swallowed “I’m a fox” he said “Never pictured sweet Neville the mischief type” Melanie said pretending to be shocked. “Ah but that’s what a good prankster is, the seem sweet and innocent but really they’re brilliant pranksters” Sirius said “What about you Ginny?” Dora asked Ginny looked embarrassed and annoyed. “I’m a doe” she whispered “with red fur and big brown eyes” Sirius, Dora, Remus and Melanie exchanged looks. Lily was a doe too. Lily and James’s animagus forms and patronus were doe and stag. In the magic world having matching animagus form and patronus meant you were soul mates. Harry and Ginny look a lot like Lily and James. Maybe it was meant to be or maybe their young marriage was taking an effect. Authors note: tada! I gave them animagus forms to work on. I couldn’t resist using J.K’s line from the fourth chapter in the first book; I thought it suited sleepy Ron perfectly.
