So clever! Remus laughed and gave a nod. "Quick to put that together. Yes, they learned to be Animagi, on their own, with no help other than each other. I didn't know about it for a long time, not until we were in late third year! Then one day, they showed me and told me their plan. I was against it - there was no proof it would even work! But then they told me they would find me even if I said no... and that was that. I had no way to fight them on it and j couldn't tell anyone my friends had performed illegal magic and were unregistered."
