Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Curse you fay. I'm reading that Pendle thing.
"Anyway, as I was saying; it's hard, it's risky, and it takes a long time becoming an Animagus. And practically all of the reasons you'd do it would be made completely useless if you actually then trotted off and registered yourself. Take your boss, for instance. Investigative journalism. Take me. Industrial espionage and general nosiness. To say nothing of all the unregistered Animagi in Wales and New Zealand - no need to ask yourself what they do it for -"
He couldn't help it. He interrupted.
"I'm sorry, Mrs Longbottom, you've lost me there. What do the Welsh and New Zealanders do it for?"

Reminder - AJ Hall's got the Boxing Day fic set in the Pendleverse due out on Boxing Day, although we have to wait until February for the Valentine's Day fic, which details how Draco and Neville got together. And Fearless Diva is going to try to get Seeing the Light wrapped in time for Christmas.

And hey! Remember, I had to shag the dead. Shit, your foreplay's gotta be bloody good to make an inroad there, I can tell ya.'
It is an ongoing source of wonderment to me that I read stories in which this is a perfectly reasonable remark. And, for that matter, have written them.

Mom did, I guess. She's started giving him hot chocolate to feed him up a bit. She thinks he's too thin, and she swears he's depressed.
Joyce niceness. Ahh.
