[Harry Potter] Born an Animagus

Another story set in Helga's world, about a Hufflepuff and a Gryffindor. The Marauders start teaching themselves to become Animagi and bring in a Hufflepuff advisor. The story follows the timeline up to the founding of the Order of the Phoenix.

A few things to know before reading:

1. This is a story about an original female lead and Sirius Black. The female lead is an Animagus.

2. The timeline does not currently reach the beginning of the original books. I want to write a happy ending, so let's pretend we're avoiding the main plot. :)

3. A short-to-medium-length story, about 40,000 words. I've finished drafting it, so I'll post it all in one go.

4. I'm a Hufflepuff through and through, and I dream of becoming as kind and accepting as Helga Hufflepuff.
