Chap 20 - Transfiguration
Back at school, classes resumed but I was bored. I knew it was good to learn basics but I wanted to be practicing the advanced stuff. Only Transfiguration I was having issues with. Professor Dumbledore called me into his office one day.
"Professor you requested to see me?"
""Ah, Mr. Potter. Please sit down." He beckoned to the seat across from him. Naturally I went to go sit down.
"Mr. Potter, I noticed you seem to be having some difficulty in my class. I have spoken to other professors and they are shocked to hear this because, according to them, you seem bored in their classes and put no effort towards them. I'm curious to know why this is not so in my class."
"Well sir... I just seem to be better at other classes."
"Yes but I do believe that your wand is made for Transfiguration correct?"
I remember what Olivander had said about my wand.
"Yes sir."
"Very well. Then let me ask you, what kinds of Transfiguration would you like to preform?"
I thought hard but I couldn't think of anything. Then I remembered why I was self teaching magic. Lily. Then it clicked.
"I'd like to change my own appearance sir."
"You understand that is the most difficult kind of Transfiguration?"
"Yes sir." I said it firmly. If I could change my own appearance I could protect Lily with no restraint. I would not use it to trick her into loving me. I must protect Lily.
"Very well. From today forth I'd like you to come to my office every Friday at, oh let's say, 5? I shall begin to tutor you."
I just stared at him. I was going to be tutored by the greatest wizard in magical history.
He smiled. "Dismissed."
