Virgil was walking around the Hogwarts grounds, after unpacking his things in the Gryffindor common room. He then sat on a bench near the corridor, after walking around the grounds for no appearant reason. He was kind of tired, but he decided to sit out a little longer, to see what might happen.
Sky walked along the corridor, her long black hair swishing gently with her pace. She was wearing her school uniform without the cloak and a messenger bag at her side. She stopped when she noticed someone sitting on a bench. "Hi. I'm Sky. Are you new here?" She asked with a smile.
Virgil looked around at the voice speaking to him. He then said "I wouldn't really say new here, just erm.. late.." as he stood up. "My name is Vergil Hendrix, nice to meet you Sky."
Billie was walking around the forest restocking her clothes. She had a few shirts in her arm and she saw Sky and someone she didn't know. She put the shirt by a tree and skipped over to them. "Hey Sky... and Hi um sorry but who are you" she said. Billie smiled and waited for answer.
Sky gave him a friendly smile. "Well it's nice to meet you." She said to him. "Perhaps we will share some classes together." She seen Billie approach them. "Hey Billie."
"So what are you guys doin?" she said.
Virgil said to Sky "We might have some classes together. What are you taking?" as a new girl walked over. He looked over at the new girl that approached him. He then said "Hey, im Vergil Hendrix. Who might you be? Oh, and we were just talking about our classes, to see if we had some together."
"Oh I'm Billie Jones" Billie said. "Fun" She said. "I hate most of my classes."
"I like charms." Sky said happily. She looked up at a clock. "Which I happen to have very soon..." Sky muttered.
"So your a charms girl huh? Alright, alright. I've found it to be rather tolerable too." said Virgil as he too looked at the clock. "I have potions coming up, which I hate.. Hey Billie, what classes are you taking?"
Sky shrugged. "I like learning new spells. Potions can be okay when they are needed." She looked at Vergil. "Well it was nice to meet you Vergil. I hope that we may see each other again."
Virgil smiled and said "I hope we meet again soon too." as he stood on the bench and transfigured into a pheonix, and took flight.
Sky watched as Vergil took flight then looked at Billie. "Wow. He's an animagus." She said, surprised her was allowed to transform in school.
"Wow I guess you do learn something new everyday" Billie said watching him fly away.
"Yupp. I wish I was an animagus. I wish I atleast had some kind of power." Sky said, looking at her hands.
"I'm an animagus" Billie said. "I turn into an owl" She said dullie. "You probley do have a special power just havent found it yet" she said.
"Can someone learn to be an animagus or are they born with it?" Sky asked her.
"Both" Billie said. "You could work for a few years and become a unregistered animagus or you can be born with it like I was" BIllei said.
Sky looked at Billie, then to the stairs. "I'd better get started on that then." She said, a slightly anxious expression forming on her face. "I'll be at the library, feel free to join me." Sky took off and ran up the stairs.
Billie laughed and ran up the stairs behind Sky. She got to the library and walked in.
Sky was already in the Restricted Section, with a forged note. She grabbed nearly four very large books and dropped them on the table. "It's time I learn something." She whispered, taking a seat and quickly opening a book.
"Becoming an animagus can take up to five years, but sometimes it can be learned within a year with vigorous training and great dedication. It also depends on a person's history. If anyone in their family was able to become and animagus, it may be easier for the person. Though sometimes it may be harder." Sky read quietly outloud.
Bille stood across from Sky and listened to her read.
"I don't know my family history." Sky said to Billie.
"I bet you could find something out in here" she said looking at the library
Sky looked around at the many shelves of books. "Well..Gee, this is interesting. Animagi can only take on the form of one specific animal. This animal form is not chosen by the wizard, but determined by their personality and inner traits. Thus, one's animagus form is a reflection of one's inner nature. " Sky read.
Billie looked at the book. "So my inner nature is to be a freakin messanger?" Billie asked
"Not exactly..." Sky said, laughing at Billie's statement. "Maybe you're nocturnal or something."
"Yeah I guess" She said. "I mean I stay up more then half the night."
Sky stared at the book. "I wonder what I'd be...."
"See and find out" Billie said. "I'll help you" she said.
"Okay..." Sky said. "What kinda traits do I have?"
"Um your nice and smart" Billie said. "You have a lot of good traits"
"I think...I'd be a wolf..." Sky said, looking at the description.
