The forbidden forest was forbidden for a reason, it had a giant spider family and lots of other "monsters". But Harry James Potter, went into the forest a lot. He found it was a nice place to chill and do homework. Without Hermione looking over his shoulder every two minutes.

One night he found a patch of land with only a few trees. There was trees surrounding it, and the floor was covered in leaves. It was the only place he'd found that natural sunlight got in.

He often met up with his uncles (Siri and Remmy) there. Some times they came together, sometimes it was just one of them. Harry didn't care, he just liked having people to talk to about anything. And they would listen to him, without interrupting- unlike his current friends (except Draco, but Draco wasn't always around) But today he was alone, well that's what he thought.

A fact no one knows about Harry is that animals love him. Everyone knows about him and snakes, but just not about any other animal. Harry loves animals and if he was a muggle he would currently be at college/university for being a vet.

Harry was leaning against a tree just thinking when he heard rustling. He wiped his wand out and cautiously stepped forward. His mind was going mental thinking of all the spells he could use to defend himself. He walked up to the noise only to be pounced on! .... by a dog. Yes a dog definitely not his uncle.

Harry looked at the dog and started to try and get up, only to be pushed back. Harry decided that the dog needed a name so he decided to call it Sammy. As it was a gender neutral name, and he didn't know the gender of the dog. "Hey doggo do you mind if I call you Sammy?...ok! Sammy would you mind moving so I can get up?" Harry asked while slowly putting his hand up to Sammy's nose. The dog licked his hand and moved off him.

"Thanks mate." Harry patted Sammy. "You wouldn't happen to be animagus would you?" Harry asked. Its always his first thought since he found out about Sirius.

The dog cocked it's head before backing up. Harry still had his wand out in case it was a death eater, even though Voldy had been defeated he still was per cautious.

The dog started turning human. Huh Harry was right. Sammy was and animagus.
"Hi...."Harry looked up to see Seamus Finnigan. To be honest he was surprised, he thought something like this would of blown up in Seamus's face.

"Seamus?!...Didn't expect that..." Harry said while Seamus sat beside him.
"Hehe... you won't tell anyone right? Um it's kinda illegal what I'm doing.."Seamus nervously said.
"Why would I tell anyone?" Harry replied trying to brighten the mood "If it makes you feel better my dad and Sirius are an underage animagus and I'm pretty sure the ministry still doesn't know..."
"Wait.... really? Are you animagus too then?.... wait! That makes no sense.." The Irish rambled.
".....uh yeah I am" Harry whispered just loud enough for Seamus to hear.
"REALLY?!"he exclaimed, "can you show me?"
Harry nodded and turned into a beautiful stag.

Seamus looked at him and asked "does your uncles know about this," he pat Harry's head. " like make a deer noise for yes and....back away for no." He was surprised to see Harry walk away.
"You haven't told THEM?!" Irish boi half-shouted ,While Harry turned back to human.
"Should I..?" Harry asked while fixing his glasses.
"Of course you should!" He said while jumping up. "Don't you guys meet here anyway. I've seen you a few times while I've been strolling about."
"Hmm... I'll tell them as long as the next time you 'strolling about' I can join." Harry put his hand out. Seamus took it and they shook.
"Tomorrow I'll get you and we can go."

~~~

"Harry! Come on!" Seamus whisper yelled at dinner.
"Wait, now?" Harry said avoiding the weird stares he was getting.
If ron had saw the two, he would of thought of padfoot and prongs.

~~~

Ron and Hermione were in another date. Leaving Harry alone, again. Most of the top years had gone to hogsmead. All except Harry and Seamus. Harry decided now would be a good time to write to his uncle and godfather.

Dear Sirius and Remus,
I need to tell you something VERY important. Meet me in the forest next Saturday at 5pm?
-Harry

"Hey Seamus?" Harry asked sitting next to the boy who was trying to do his potions homework.
"Harry?" He said while putting his quill down, "whatcha need?"
Harry passed him the letter he's wrote. "I'm thinking of telling them about that next week. Is the letter fool proof?"
Seamus read the letter and nodded. "Im gonna come with you when you send it. I need a break from potions..." he said while pushing his homework away.

Harry stood up and walked to the portrait about to walk out, "Ireland, you coming?"
"DONT tell me that's my new nickname!" Seamus argued.  Harry laughed before saying "sorry mate but it's sticking."
Seamus snorted in reply, then it was silent. Harry hated it. Silence. Reminded him of bad times.

"You know it's kind of ironic..." Harry started.
"What is?" Seamus said as they reached the owlry.
"My fathers animagus was a stag-"
"Really!??" Seamus interrupted him.
"Yes. But you didn't let me finish."
"Oh. Sorry." Apologised Ireland.
"Dad was a stag, Uncle Siri was a dog." Harry stated then ended up laughing at Seamus's face. "The four of them -Dad, Sirius, Remus and the traitor-"
"Traitor?" There's mild Irish confusion.
"Peter Pettigrew.." Harry answered " well anyway the four of them called themselves the Marauders. My dad, Sirius and peter turned into animagus's to help Remus with his 'furry little problem'. Peter was a rat by the way. Ron's family rat, Scabbers."
"No! Really?" Seamus asked while walking back down the stairs of the owlry.
"Yup. Oh the furry little problem was what they called Remus's werewolf thing. Anyway, they all had nicknames. Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot and Prongs." Harry face wrinkled in disgust talking about peter.
"So are you saying that we should have nicknames. I mean I guess it would be useful. So no one knows what we're talking about." Seamus added thoughtfully.
"Mm I guess it would... Harry said. " and we already have yours!"
"We do?" Seamus asked.
"Yup! Ireland!" Harry exclaimed.
"What! No!" Seamus resisted.
"Yes!" Harry insisted. "But what about me?"
"We'll think it about it... I bet you I'll be in class when I think of it."
"My dad was prongs... my uncles call me Prongslet... could that work?" Harry asked.
"Yes!"

~~~

Harry,
We'll be there. Sirius is going mental trying to figure out what's wrong. Can we at least get a clue?
-moony and Padfoot.

To Padfoot and moony,
All I can say is 'prongslet' if that helps. Oh and a friend will be coming with me for 'moral support.'
-Harry ~•_•~

Harry and Seamus were walking into the forest. Harry was in his human form and Seamus was currently being Ireland. Once they got close to the meeting point Harry's breathing got faster, his palms got sweaty overall he was nervous.

"They're already there Ireland." Harry whispered before walking toward his uncles. Ireland ran forward, stopped and barked at Harry. Making him run forward. Harry dropped his bag at the tree he usually sits at.

"You've replaced me! I'm hurt, Harry!" Harry's godfather said while putting a hand over his heart.
"Not entirely, moral support remember." Harry said while running up to his uncles.
"Ok ok Harry, but what is this important thing you need to tell us about?"Sirius asked, " Did you and Draco breaks up?!"
"whaT NO!"
"Well, what is it then?"
Harry took a breath in and looked at Ireland. "Please don't cry...."he muttered.
"Harry? What makes you think we'll cry?" Remus asked from where he was sitting.
Harry shrugged before counting to three in his head. "You ready?" He asked them.
"For what?!" Harry ignored them and turned into Prongslet. Sirius just gaped at him while Remus just walked up to him and stroked his head, crying slightly.
"He looks so much like James..."Sirius was crying now as well.
"With that dog, it's like looking at Padfoot and Prongs..." Remus said. Harry turned back to being human and looked at Ireland.
"Seamus..."He whispered looking at the dog who looked at him as if he was saying "do I have to~"
In a few seconds he was back to Seamus and was also punching Harry's arm
