Chapter 7:
Harry went and sat beside the black lake with the Animagi training book after a long first day of classes. Harry was really engrossed in finding out how to find your animal that he didn't realise someone walking towards where he sat.
Harry only looked up when he realised someone was sat beside him, and saw Draco looking out over the lake.
"Malfoy." Harry said in greeting before turning back to his book.
"Potter." Draco sneered but not with his usual malice. Draco got out his transfiguration text book and started reading. Only sound that could be heard was turning of pages and the Giant Squid playing in the lake.
Harry looked up after a while and saw that the sun was starting to set, so he gathered his things. "Malfoy it's getting late. I am going inside it must be time for dinner." Harry said before getting up and picking up his book.
Draco followed and they went to the Great Hall just in time for dinner. Draco went to the slytherin table and sat with Blaise Zabini. Harry carried onto Gryffindor table and took a spot across from Hermione and Ron.
"So mate, where was you this afternoon?" Ron asked whilst piling his plate with the food.
"I was sat near the black lake reading on Animagi training. I want to try the technique to find out what my animal is." Harry replied. Harry could feel eyes on his back. So he looked up to the Head table to see who was looking. He met obsdain eyes looking at him before he turned away back to his friends. They ate their meals chatting over the day's events and making plans for the coming weekend.
Harry and his friends headed back to the common room to start on their homework. Harry was doing his potion essay on draught of the living dead. Harry went to the window and opened it when he heard the insistent tapping of a black owl to be let in.
Harry took the scroll from the owl and gave the owl a treat whilst he read
Potter,
Meet me in my office tomorrow at 7pm to discuss D.A.
Professor Snape.
Harry wrote a reply to the letter and gave it to the owl to take to Severus.
Professor,
I will be there. If you hear tapping on the door and no one is there it is me under my invisibility coat.
Harry.
Harry went back to working on his homework for another hour before playing exploding snap with Neville.
Couple of hours later, Harry went up to his dorm and did his nightly routine before bed. He got into bed and started meditating to clear his head. Concentrating on clearing his mind and seeing if he can see his inner animal like the book on Animagi training explained.
Harry finally saw what he was going to become with a smile and let sleep take over him into a restful sleep.
Harry woke the next morning and cast a tempus to see the numbers come up. '7am, I wonder what woke me.' Harry thought whilst stretching before opening his curtains.
Harry looked around the dorm before getting his clothes and going to bathroom to start his morning routine. He packed his school bag with the books he needed before heading downstairs to the common room.
Harry walked into the common room and not surprised when he saw Hermione next to the grate reading a book.
"Morning Hermione, did you have a good sleep?" harry asked whilst taking an arm chair opposite her.
Hermione looked up from her book with a smile. "Good morning Harry, I did have a good sleep last night. How about you?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Yeah mine was restful. Glad to have a decent sleep, no visions and no nightmares." Harry said with a smile.
They sat and chatted for a while waiting for Ron to come down to head for breakfast.
When everyone was up and ready the 7th year Gryffindor's left the common rooms together and headed for Great Hall. In the entrance harry bumped into Draco, who was also on his way in and gave a nod before heading to their perspective tables.
They sat at the table and filled their plates whilst chatting to everyone and catching up.
"Harry, when will Quidditch try outs be?" Ginny asked hopefully.
"I will sort out a day this weekend. I will talk to Professor McGonagall at lunch time." Harry replied before finishing off his breakfast and heading to Charms classroom.
They managed to get their early as Professor Flitwick had got there, so they took a table at the back of class and got their books ready.
"So Harry what did Dumbledore want yesterday?" Hermione asked intrigued.
"He wanted to see if I'd be willing to start up the D.A again this year, I said I would, but its going to be different, its open to all houses and…. Snape will be helping this time. Dumbledore's orders." Harry said scared of their reactions
"That's great Harry, it was a hit last year." Hermoine said before the door to the classroom opened to Professor Flitwick.
They turned their attention to the classroom and wondered what the lesson was today.
"Welcome all of you to NEWT level Charms, this year will be important and you will be learning all different things. I expect you all to work hard. Today's lesson is on the method of changing an objects colour." Professor Flitwick said with a smile as he knew it would be used for pranks. "The wand movements as follows." Professor swished and flicked his wand. "Now please try the wand movements."
Everyone tried the movements thinking of all the things they could do.
"Now let's try with the incantation. The incantation is abeo cultivate. You need to add the object or person in front and colour. Now try changing pillow into red. So incantation is abeo cultivate red and point at pillow." Professor explained to the class.
Everyone managed to change their pillow to red by the end of class with a bit of guidance.
"Homework is to practise and bring something in for next lesson and to perform the spell in front of everyone. Homework due in next class. Class dismissed." Professor Flitwick said before the bell rang.
Harry and friends left the class to head for the library to do more research on Animagus and on their animals for tomorrow's lesson.
A/N: hope you all enjoyed the chapter please review and tell me what you think.
