Emily was going to go with Remus and Sirius to Remus' home for the full moon tonight. She had decided and no one was going to stop her, and they knew that, so they didn't try. To be honest, she was a bit nervous. Last time she had met Werewolf Lupin, she had gotten a permanent scar, and during the day, she kept rubbing it. Nobody noticed, because they just thought it was a bad habit, but they didn't know that she never did that. How would they know. They didn't care.
When it was time to go, Emily grabbed Remus' arm and Sirius grabbed the other. Then, they all apparated to Remus' cottage. He groped around in his right pocket, but he didn't seem to find the key. "Didn't you put it in your left pocket?" Emily asked.
Remus tried his left pocket, and grinningly pulled out the key. He ruffled Emily's hair "You smart ass." he said playfully.
Once they were in Remus' 'tranformation' room, Emily decided to turn into a horse, then she could get some sleep without having to lie down. (Its true. Horses can rest while standing up) As soon as she transformed into her animagus form, Remus started panicking. "Emily? Emily! Where are you?" he shouted. Emily turned back into her human form. "There you are!" Remus exclaimed worriedly. Sirius just rolled his eyes.
"Where did you go?" Remus asked.
"What do you mean? I was just standing there!" Emily told the men.
"No you weren't. You were gone. Like nothing. No sound. No horse. Nothing." Remus explained to her.
"How is that even possible?" Emily exclaimed in frustration.
"I have no clue. Try again." Remus looked intently where Emily was standing. He blinked for one second, and then... Emily was gone.
Emily started to panic as she saw Lupin's eyes travel all around the room in search of her, but he couldn't see her. How could he not? She was standing right in front of him. She neighed, and Remus and Sirius jumped out of their skin. It didn't come out as a neigh, is came out as a soft whisper, sending chills down Moony and Padfoot's spine.. Both Lupin and Sirius looked around the room in fear as they took out their wands. "Who's there?" Sirius' voice asked.
Emily suddenly thought of something, rather some creature that she had read about in her third year. Thestrals. Visible to those only who have witnessed death. She couldn't. Could she? Could her animagus form have changed to a thestral?
She turned back into a girl and startled the two men in the room.
"Remus. Can your animagus form change?"
Remus frowned, looking deep into his memory of all of the books that he had read over the last 35 years of life, "Ehh, I think so, yeah. Why?"
"I think my animagus form changed to a thestral." Emily didn't sugar coat it. Just the plain answer.
"Whattttttttt!" Sirius exclaimed, then he pouted like a toddler, "That's not fair."
"Sirius, do us all a favour and shut up." Emily ordered.
"Wait, turn into a thestral, or your animagus form again." Remus told her.
Emily followed his commands without a second thought. She disappeared from sight again, and Remus strained his werewolf hearing and smell. He could hear the faint beating of wings as Emily restlessly flapped them around while moving.
"Emily!" he called out, "Think very heard about letting us see you."
Emily closed her milky white eyes and focused. She heard both Remus and Sirius gasp in shock as a gleamy black thestral came into view, with gleamy, milky white eyes that could stare into your soul and uncover your deepest secrets.
