About 3 years later:
"Listen, Peter you really have to get it right this time. Remus is counting on us. Remember to say animagus properly this time too."
That was James talking. I really wasn't counting on them but they had decided to do it anyway. I told them that they didn't have to, but they did. They became animagi. They did some research on werewolves and realized that we were only a threat to humans and small animals. If they turned into animals large enough they wouldn't be in danger from me. The only problem with that was the fact that when you became in animagi you couldn't choose your animal. If the spell worked this time on full moons they could be with me while I was a werewolf. Of course peter kept messing it up. The first time he fainted from the smell, the second he couldn't remember the words, the third he couldn't remember how to pronounce them. Now they were trying again for the fourth time. I watched with wonder, thinking wow they're doing this for me. BOOM! Smoke clouded the area that we were in. James, Sirius, and peter were dead fainted away. Oh well I thought to myself it must not have worked, I guess that that was best though considering what they were trying to do was breaking the law. I tried to wake them up but they didn't stir. So I stayed with them. In about 1hr they woke up.
"Yes, it worked" James shouted
"what do you mean it worked you guys looked like you were dead" I said
"that's what supposed to happen" said Sirius "watch"
he took out his wand and said some thing. And to my surprise he turned into a big black dog that looked like a grim. Then he changed back.
"Wow I hope your all big enough," I said
"well lets try," said James, as he turned himself into a stag.
Peter on the other hand became a rat.
"It's ok," said Sirius "you can ride on my shoulder. I'll protect you" he said the last part in a teasing way.
"Well the good thing about peter being a rat is he's small enough to fit under the tree with out being hit, and then he can press the knot when you guys come down." I said "and we can try this tomorrow because that's when the full moon is again"
We started to clean up our materials when Sirius had an idea
"if we can find a way out of the shack we can come back to Hogwarts grounds and maybe, just maybe find some other secret passage ways, I have this great idea for a map we can make"
"wouldn't that be kind of dangerous for me what if I got out of check and bit some one?" I said
"don't worry I'll watch you" said Sirius. From what we had seen Sirius easily was the biggest of all of us in animal form. We walked back to the common room in silence. When we got in Lily was there waiting for James, holding a book called Becoming and animagi
"we need to talk" she said, "now correct me if I'm wrong but you're breaking the law, aren't you?"
"You can handle this one lover boy, we're going to bed" said Sirius. We went up to bed and waited for James to return. When he did he had some bad news
"I-I kinda' told her. I'm really sorry, but she said she'd tell a Prof. I didn't give her the truth. But I didn't tell her why we did it. That's good right?"
"Well I guess as long as she doesn't tell any one." Said Sirius "she must real have power over you. LOVE power"
"shut up" after that we went to sleep.
The next day went quickly. I would have liked it to go slower considering the stunt that we were planning on pulling later. That night I went to madam pomfrey who took me down to the tree and opened for me I went in and waited. In about 20 minutes James arrived
