Harry woke up in the middle of the night with the same nightmares. He laid there for a few minutes so that he could calm down. He looked at the clock, and it was only four o'clock in the morning. So first thing he decided to do was clean his room. Since it was still early, he crept downstairs to grab a bit of bread and a glass of water, he also grabbed some trash bags so he could properly clean his room. He started with all the broken toys that had piled up in the room. That filled up three bags alone. He put those near the door so they can be taken out. He glanced at the clock, it took him an hour to gather them. "Well four more hours to kill." He thought to himself. So he figured the clothes would take the longest so he took all the clothes out of the closet and dresser, he also took out all the hand me downs and all the clothes in his trunk. Once all the clothes were piled in the middle of the floor, one by one he decided to keep or get rid of. After filling another three bags, he set those by the door also. What few clothes he had left, he folded and put neatly on the bed to be put away later. Since that had taken two and a half hours to do, he grabbed a clean set of clothes and went to the bathroom quickly showered and changed. Within five minutes he was back in his room. He emptied the desk and placed the stuff on the floor. He placed all his school books on the desk and doubled checked his list to be sure that he copied down all the charms down correctly. He then went through what was left on the floor. All of it ended up in the trash, do to the fact that it was all old papers. He dusted the book shelves after removing all the books. He put the books back on the shelves and organized them. They only took up the top two shelves, so he put his school books on the third shelf. Hedwigs cage was sitting on top of the dresser so he pulled it down and cleaned it also. After putting it back in its place, he put what clothes he had left into the top two drawers since those were the only ones that weren't broken. It was 8:15 a.m. now, he still had another 15 minutes to kill before Uncle Vernon went to work so he decided to finish emptying his trunk. He put all his parchment, ink, and quills on his desk, put all his potion supplies on the bottom shelf of his book shelf. Now the only thing left in the trunk was Sirius' broken mirror. He heard Uncle Vernon leering, so he took his chance to take out the trash. He set all seven bags out into the hallway, closed his door, grabbed the two heaviest bags first. He was on his last trip when Aunt Petunia asked him to take out the kitchen trash, so he did. He went back to his room, took all the pieces of the mirror and put them into a pillow case, in the process of that he cut his right hand. So he wrapped his hand on the edge of the pillow case. It was now 8:45 a.m. so he decided to go ahead and go to Mrs. Figgs house. He told his Aunt where he was going and left. He got to Mrs. Figgs house early but Dumbledore was already there.

"Professor, Is there a way I can speak to Professor Lupin for a moment?"

"Sure Harry, just a moment." Professor Dumbledore popped out for a moment and popped back with Lupin following.

"Harry, Albus said that you wish to speak to me?"

"Yes, Professor Lupin.."

"Call me Remus or Moony, you of all people deserve to plus I am no longer your professor."

"Okay, moony. Well before we went back to school after Christmas holidays ... Sirius gave me a gift that I broke after that night he.. After that night at the ministries and I was hoping you knew where the other is and if you are able to fix this one."

"What is it Harry?"

"A two-way mirror" Harry walked over to the table and dumped the pieces on the table. It was at this point Dumbledore noticed his hand was bleeding.

"Harry what happened to your hand?" Harry looked at his hand and said quietly, "the mirror cut it."

Dumbledore looked at the cut and healed it.

"Are all the pieces here Harry?" Remus asked.

"Yes I believe so. It broke in my trunk and I emptied the trunk this morning."

"Okay Harry, I will try and find the second one and see if I can get it working." Remus pointed his wand at it and said "Reparo" Picked it up and put it in his pocket. "See you later cub, I will bring it back to you as soon as possible."

"Okay Moony, bye" Remus smiled then popped out.

"Okay Harry we should get started."

"Okay Professor." So Harry, Dumbledore, and Mrs. Figgs went up stairs to the office. Mrs. Figgs left some tea and biscuits in there and left them to their devices. Dumbledore sealed the room and set up a privacy charm, so they couldn't be over heard.

"Okay, I brought all the papers to be filled out. First we will start with the emancipation papers." So Harry took the quills and started writing. Once he finished the ten pages for the emancipation. Then started on the apparition forms. He finished those papers. Dumbledore looked at him and said "Lets take a break it is time for lunch." Harry nodded, set the quills down on top of the papers on the desk. Dumbledore was watching him and noticed the back of his hand.

"Harry, what happened to your hand?"

"Nothing" he said hiding his hand.

"Please let me see your hand, Harry." Dumbledore reached out for Harry's hand. Harry slowly handed him his hand.

"Harry, When did this happen?"

"When I was in detention with Umbridge."

"Harry, A blood quill was outlawed many years ago. Why didn't you tell any teacher about this?"

"When? You were ignoring me and she was passing educational degrees left and right. So forgive me for not telling anyone plus I wasn't the only one." Dumbledore looked shocked at this.

"Whom do you know of that had this done to them?"

"Lee Jordan."

"I will be investigating this Harry. Is there anything else you would like to add about him?"

"Not right now, I will write all I remember later."

"Okay Harry, lets go get a bit to eat." Dumbledore removed the charms and they went downstairs.

"Harry Albus, you gentlemen hungry, there are sandwiches on the table."

"Thank you Arabella." Dumbledore said as they walked into the kitchen and sat down and then begin to eat. They sat in silence for a while will Harry spoke.

"Professor, do you think we can have Professor McGonagall here for the next piece?"

"I am not sure Harry but I will go and see in a few minutes and I will take care of a few other items while I am gone."

"Okay Professor." Harry and Dumbledore went back upstairs. Dumbledore took the papers and made copies.

"When these are finalized the signature and seal will show up there." Dumbledore handed him his copy.

"I'll take a copy of the emancipation to Gringotts, also so there won't be any problems later and there I will drop off at the ministry. If you want to wait to fill those out with Professor McGonagall, you can read this book. I will see you later Harry."

"Bye, Professor." So with that Dumbledore was gone. Harry glanced at the papers stilled to be filled out and decided it would wait. So he opened the book The Beginners Guide to be an Occlumens by Lester Oclude. Harry was about half way done when some noise down stairs caught his attention. Harry was curious so he peeked down the stairs. It was Professor McGonagall talking to Mrs. Figgs. "Hello Professor McGonagall."

"Hello Mr. Potter, Professor Dumbledore asked me to come see you for you had a few questions that I could answer, but he wouldn't tell me what it was about."

"He couldn't tell you because of a charm. Is Professor Dumbledore on his way back?"

"He said that he had a few papers to drop off then was mumbling something about Umbridge. So I would hope soon."

"Oh, okey would you like to follow me upstairs?" Before she had a chance to say anything Mrs. Figgs asked if they would like some tea and biscuits. Professor McGonagall answered "I think tea would be nice, thank-you. Lead on Mr. Potter." Once they got upstairs, he picked up his book and handed the stack of papers to Professor McGonagall. "We will discuss these when Professor Dumbledore returns, Okay?" Professor McGonagall just nodded and started looking at what he handed her. She looked at him and smiled when she noticed what they were. Harry just sat there reading his book for just a few more minutes till Dumbledore returned.

"Hello Minerva, Harry."

"Hello Albus, we've been waiting for you."

"Hello Professor, I have read half the book."

"Very good Harry. Well lets get started." Dumbledore cast the necessary charms.

"Thank-you Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall there is a secrecy charm on anything concerning me, so anything you hear in here or help me with you won't be able to tell anyone whom you are helping. So now I ask if you would like to help me become an animagus?"

"Yes Harry, I will help you but you will not be able to practice without someone there. First we will start by filling out these papers, then I can perform the animagi charm to show us an animal you could do, and tomorrow I will bring the potion to show if you can actually do the animal."

"Minerva why don't you go ahead and perform the charm while I work on these papers."

"Very well Albus. Revealo Animagi."

Harry sat there relaxed as he waited to be told what his animal would be, he wondered if he would be a stag like his dad or a dog like his god father. After sitting there for fifteen minutes he finally asked:

"Has it shown an animal yet?"

Professor Dumbledore answered for it looked like Professor McGonagall was in shock.

"Well Harry it has shown us a quite a few animals and is showing us more," after another fifteen minutes past Professor Dumbledore spoke again. "Harry it looks like you are a shape shifter. After tomorrow you will know your primary animal. Occlumency will be able to help you focus on the animals. I have finished this first set of papers. Would you like me to pick up some books on shape shifters?"

"Yes please professor and any other books on animagi, plus Occlumency and Legilimency, and of course apparition. Are you okay Professor McGonagall?"

"Yes, I am fine. I am just shocked that you are a shape shifter."

"I have come to understand that there is never anything normal about me. So don't be surprised if I have more than one primary for that seems to be just my luck."

"Very well I shall see you tomorrow and I will have the potion for you to take, then we will be able to start your practicing."

"Harry I will take these papers to the MoM so they can be filed, pick up the next set of papers, and the books you requested, anything else?"

"Actually yes, a few blank journals, one for Occlumency, and one for animagi training plus one or two extras. I would like them to be charmed to be never-ending and password to open."

"Very well, finish reading your book. We will chat more tomorrow. In addition discuss Professor Umbridge." With that he removed the charms on the room and the professors left.

Harry waited a few minutes, then went downstairs.

"I think I will be going back now Mrs. Figgs. I will see you tomorrow."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay for supper?"

"I want to be home before Uncle Vernon at least for the rest of the week."

"Bye" Harry went back to his aunt's house. His aunt just looked at him funny when he came in, so he just went straight upstairs.

"Hello Hedwig I will write to them soon. Just in case be back early okay." She hooted in response then went back to her cage to rest. Harry put all his parchment, ink, and quills in the top drawer of the desk, then made his bed, and put his now empty trunk in his now empty closet. He went downstairs to grab the broom to sweep his room. His aunt was the only one in the kitchen when he got down there.

"What are you doing?"

"I am going to sweep my room."

"Very well, wait till I come up to bring your food and I will bring the broom back down with me."

"Okay Aunt Petunia." Harry then took the broom and dust pan up to his room. He also grabbed a small trash bag for the little trash can in his room. After sweeping the floor, he emptied the space beneath the loose floor board. The food and candy that he had he put in the bottom desk drawer with his invisibility cloak on top to hide them. He set the photo album on the desk and his useless broom surviving kit in the top of his closet. About that time Aunt Petunia came in the room. She looked like she was going to say something will she saw the open photo album on the desk. She instead just set the food and glass down and grabbed the broom and dust pan, then she turned around and left. He ate the food and put the dishes on top of the dresser so that he could use the desk. After putting the photo album on the night stand by the bed. He placed all his letters on piles of who wrote him on the back part of the desk. His box of old letters went into the bottom drawer held the owl treats. He sat at the desk for a while then pulled out a sheet of parchment and wrote a letter to Dumbledore detailing Umbridges detentions and what he felt about all of it. He folded the letter up once he was through and placed it back on the desk so that he can take it with him tomorrow. He grabbed his book and took it over to his bed. He sat there reading the book for some time. Once finished he started the first part of organizing his mind. He pictured himself in a large room with his memories he created doors around the room, the first one he placed was the prophecy he took it put in a box in happy memories. He had a room for the ten years in the cupboard under the stairs plus anytime he stayed with the Dursleys. There is a room for all his school work, daily things and finally his nightmare room. Now that the main room is cleared, he shrank the room to the size of a hall. He came out of his trance to realize that it was the middle of the night, so he decided to try and get some sleep. He made sure his mental doors were closed then closed off the hallway with that he fell into a light dreamless sleep.
