—————————————————————

As you walked the winding staircase up to Dumbledore's office, questions filled your head.

Why was I an animagi? How did I transform? Is there a way to control it? Why was Umbridge concerned about it?

Snape was close behind you. You were thankful that he offered to come with you, considering you still had no idea where Lockhart went. His quiet presence calmed your already unsteady nerves.

Upon reaching the door to his office, you spoke the magic words. The giant gryffin moved to the side, allowing you to enter.

"Would you like me to wait outside?" Snape offered with an understanding look.

"If you wouldn't mind, yes. I feel that I need to speak with Albus alone." You smiled at him.

Nodding, he turned to face the corridor to watch for any unwanted intruders.

Turning to head further inside, you take a moment to notice the beautiful artifacts that lined the room. Along with these, an orange Phoenix was sitting on a small perch eyeballing you with curiosity.

"Hello, pretty bird." You cooed at it.

"Why, hello there!" A loud voice spoke from behind you.

You snapped back around, coming face to face with Albus. You hadn't realized he was organising some of the magical items on a bookshelf in the corner when you had stepped in.

"Is there something I can do for you, Miss l/n? I heard about Dolores taking you to her office to question you... are you alright?" The grey bearded man spoke, concern in his voice.

"Yes, I suppose I'm fine. However, she asked me questions about a subject that I wanted to ask you..." you let your sentence trail off.

"Hmm... yes. Quite. Sit down, my dear." He waved you to a beautiful oak chair in front of a matching desk.

As you took your seat, Dumbledore looked towards the doorway to his office; an eyebrow arched.

"What might Severus be doing here, I wonder..." he looked at you quizzically.

"I requested he come with me, I don't feel very safe on my own at the moment. I'll tell you the details later, right now I would really like to discuss a certain subject." You responded.

The old wizard sat down in his chair. His eyes never left you. You were sure he would already know the question you were about to ask before you even spoke it.

"I believe I am an animagi... do you know if this is true? Also, is there a way I could control my changing?" You asked tactfully.

"I was wondering when you would come and see me about this. Yes, you are an animagi. It runs in your family. As for controlling it, yes but it takes time to learn to do so." He replied with a small smile.

"Where can I learn? I'd hate to be stuck in wolf form forever. If it wasn't for Severus, I don't know if I would have ever changed back!" You told him somewhat impatiently.

The smile grew on the old man's face.

"Ahh, yes. Severus is quite resourceful when it comes to potions. I'm glad he was able to help you! You two have become quite close, as of late, correct?" He stated with a gleam in his eye.
