... indicate that you are a protector, a resourceful man, and above all, a loyal person." Ron looked happy with that assessment, and Neville went next. "I'm a wolf." He looked surprised with the form he had. Remus seemed incredibly pleased with that one; having another wolf in the group would be nice. "It means you are intelligent, cunning, loyal, protective, and compassionate, Neville. I have to say, I completely agree. Wolves take care of their pack, above all else. I know that you will take care of your friends, no matter what." Neville looked pleased. Susan was next. "Eagle." Sirius nodded. "Dominance, freedom, power. I completely agree." Susan blushed, but smiled. Hufflepuffs usually had a reputation as pushovers, but, like her aunt, Susan had long established herself as being a grounded individual with a desire to break free and soar, much like an eagle would.

You need to figure out how to let it break free." He had them all move to the library, where they spent several hours studying their forms using muggle animal anatomy books that Sirius had picked up from the Potter library a few days earlier, remembering that they had been left there after Sirius, James, and Peter had completed their own transformations. Shortly before everyone left for the evening, Sirius guided them through the meditation, telling them to focus on their inner animal, and try and will it to move to the outside. No one saw any change that evening, but that was to be expected, Sirius said. He told them all to take the animal books home with them, duplicating pages as needed, since several of the animals were in the same book. He then told them to spend one hour meditating every night, but warned them to use caution, and to meditate with another person in the room, just in case something went wrong.
