AN: Hey guys, I'm having trouble writing. Please review…
The tournament's first task was about to end… Harry Potter was the final champion to compete and he had stepped out into the field, holding not a wand but instead a brush in his hands. With a few flicks of the brush vines flew towards the dragon, tying it up. With a few steps he grabbed the Golden egg and left.
In the stands a few students grinned to each other and left to go talk with the brush user…
Four years ago.
Harry walked into Ollivander's without Hagrid. He'd walked off to go grab a drink quickly.
"Ah Mr Potter… I have been expecting…" An old man said before trailing off and looking behind Harry. He turned around confused to find nothing there.
"What are you looking at?" He asked confused.
"Ah… Nothing Mr Potter… But… I believe that a wand will not suit your magic." He stated pulling out different boxes of various sizes.
"Why not? Is there anything else I can use?" Harry asked worried.
"Yes there is. We have many different magical foci that can be used, most just tend to use wands as other methods usually require something which makes it more difficult." Ollivander explained.
"Oh…" He muttered.
"First off we have a staff, good for channelling bursts of magic, good for combat and being flashy. But bad for practical uses…" He said showing Harry a staff. "Next we have a Grimoire. They have two functions. One of them lets them act as a wand, by using your blood as a connecter to your own magic, of course it takes time as you need to search through the entire thing for a single spell… The other, and my preferred method allows it to record any spells you need for if you use a different type of foci. For example…" He muttered showing off a book, which looked like a kindle or something, with a glowing button and an arm holster on the back, before opening the final box to reveal… "The brush. It's not easy to master as the spells all require symbols and ink to work, but with the Grimoire it becomes easy, you will be able to record any spell after using it once, and the Grimoire will supply all the ink needed… It even works as a pen!" He added as he let Harry hold the brush in his hand.
"I think the brush is best… It feels right." Harry told him.
"I believe it is best as well Mr Potter." Ollivander agreed, handing him the Grimoire and sending him on his way…
Few months later
Harry sat in transfiguration, trying to figure out why all he could make was a statue of a white wolf that had red markings and a strange disk on its back. "Mr Potter where is your wand?" McGonagall asked.
"I use a brush professor. Mr Ollivander said I should use it instead of a wand." He told her before trying again and making a different pose for the statue. He checked the grimoire quickly and tried away, thinking of a needle, "Please work…" He muttered as it changed into the Wolf on a needle. "… I guess that works?" He mumbled confused. "Why won't it work?" He asked annoyed.
"Mr Potter… What are you doing?!" McGonagall asked him.
"I'm trying to make this work!"
"Visualise the needle." She told him.
"I am! It's not working!" He shouted angrily as he tried again, swirling the brush around and jabbing at the statue.
"Well then…" She muttered trying it, successfully turning it into a matchstick. "Try now."
He tried again only to get the statue. "What's with the statue?" He asked confused.
"I'm not sure… Perhaps you should attempt to find some information in the library. Go now Mr Potter." She said letting him go to the library and look it up.
Five minutes later
Harry looked at the book in wonder. There was a picture of the statue that he kept making, but it was standing on a cliff howling at the moon… On the next page were more images, symbols and words he read quickly. "Amaterasu…" He whispered in awe. Slowly the book vanished into his hands and he went to the next class confused.
Potions
Harry sat in the classroom. "Today we will be making part of a potion for my next class. This is part of the animagus potion. It allows you to become a beast as well as human…" Snape said giving them the instructions. Harry started to make it as carefully as possible. Suddenly his grimoire activated and created a burst of light, causing the suddenly finished potion to cover him... In a scream of horrific pain he turned into a snowy wolf… With glowing red marks and a glowing disk on his back. "Potter?! Oh god…" Snape shouted worried, sending a patronus to Dumbledore he lifted Harry up and carried him to the hospital wing over his shoulder.
"Severus?" Madame Pomphrey asked noticing Harry and the small lightning shaped cut on his head. "is that Mr Potter?!"
"Yes It is! Something happened in class. We were brewing the animagus potion's revealing part and… It caused him to become this…" He muttered. "I'm not sure what caused it…" He added putting Harry's brush and Grimoire next to him on the bed.
"Well thank you Severus for bringing him straight to me." Pomphrey said with a smile.
"It was no problem…" He muttered worried.
"Severus?" Dumbledore asked walking in. "What a pure white pup…" He muttered.
"You… Do not see the red lines Dumbledore?" He asked confused.
"Ah now I do… Strange." He frowned as he saw the disk. "Why did you call for me?"
"Potter… That's potter…" He whispered scared. "I don't know what happened but it's Potter…" He explained crying.
"Severus calm down and explain what happened."
"I was having them brew the revealing part of the animagus potion… Something happened and it became a real potion which covered him…" He whispered in horror.
