Maltratar Camp

Chapter 21-Animagus

A/N: Merry Christmas to everyone!

Seth sat in the room of requirements. In front of him were two books: How to become an animagus and everything about it, and The history of Prince. The boy had read in The history of Prince that every male Prince had become an animagus before they left school. Of course the ministry didn't know about it. But as soon as Seth had read that, he wanted to become one.
He pulled a phial out of his pocket. Seth knew it wasn't right to steal, but he had needed the ingredients from his father's store to brew the potion that would show him in what animal he would transform. Taking a deep breath Seth gulped the liquid down.

"Are you sure you haven't seen Seth?" Severus asked.

"Yes, I am sure," Draco replied, getting annoyed. His godfather had woken him up at 4 a.m. and brought him to his office. For nearly an hour Severus had questioned Draco about Seth.

"Didn't he tell you where he went or what he planned to do?"

"What if he stole your ingredients to brew a potion?" Malfoy wondered. "Then you can let me go to bed again."

"You stay here," Snape said, walking into his ingredients store. A moment later he came out again. "He...he did really steal some ingredients...the ingredients he needs to brew a...a potion to show him what...animagus he will be."

Seth stared in the mirror in front of him. First he couldn't see himself, but slowly colour came into his body. A green iguana. Suddenly the colour faded. Then it came again. But somehow Seth wasn't a green iguana anymore but a snake. Then an owl. After that he became a boy again. Even though Seth was exhausted, he wanted to know what had happened. And there in the book it stood.

Green iguana shape shifter

This animal is nearly extincted. Only very few people are able to become a green iguana shape shifter. A green iguana shape shifter is able to transform itself into any animal it wants to. And not only that, but even when it isn't an iguana it is able to change colours. But beware: in the more animals someone transforms into the more exhausted he or she will be.
Any wizard or witch capable of transforming into a green iguana shape shifter is powerful. He or she usually can perform wandless magic. More abilities of the green iguana shape shifter is to read minds, see the future and, for the male part, be extremely strong. The female part has extremely good reflexes. Both parts have the needed ability to heal themselves and others. Also they can, if necessary, help others transform into a green iguana shape shifter when they are in danger.
Often these abilities are wasted because you have to learn how to become a green iguana shape shifter before your seventeenth birthday. Most people who should be able to become one didn't learn it. That is the reason why this kind of animal is nearly extincted.

Seth ripped the page out of the book. He then thought, a nice and cozy bedroom. A moment later the room was like Seth had wished. He lay on the bed and was asleep a few seconds later.

"If Harry had gone to the Gryffindor common room like he should have then he wouldn't be missing now," Albus said. "You lost him, you find him."

"He's the Boy-Who-Lived!" Arthur argued. He had come to Hogwarts because of the troll. Now he, Severus and his former headmaster argued about Harry who has gone missing.

"But it's practically Severus' fault," the headmaster pointed out. "If Harry would have gone with Gryffindor then he wouldn't be lost now."

"Oh, er...yeah. Yes. Snape, if you can't take care of the boy then someone else has to," Mr. Weasley said firmly, now seeing what Dumbledore tried to do. "He was sorted into your house, but then the hat resorted him into Gryffindor. Harry still went to Slytherin and now he is lost. If you can't find him until sun set then he will officially be in Gryffindor and no one can change anything about it."

"But-"

"No buts, Severus," Albus said. "If I were you I would start looking for him."

Seth yawned. Outside the sun was raising. It couldn't be later than six or seven o'clock. His eyes fell on the books lying on the floor. Slowly he got up. Memories from the night before came back. He shouting at his father, swearing, getting the books about animagus from the library, drinking the potion which showed him what animagus he would become. Seth closed his eyes and tried to concentrate. How had he looked like? A green iguana. He needed a picture of a green iguana. maybe there was one in the book? No. He had looked the night before. Then Seth suddenly had an idea. A picture of a green iguana, he wished. A moment later the picture appeared. The boy stared at it, trying to concentrate. His stomach wanted food. Then he had another idea. Flies, he wished. They too appeared. Seth stared at the picture, imagining eating the flies as a green iguana.

"And?" Dumbledore asked. "Where's Harry?"

"I wasn't able to find him," Severus admitted. He knew in a few minutes Harry would officially be a Gryffindor. And then there was no way back.

"Then I declare him officially and forever a Gryffindor," Arthur said, smiling.

Suddenly the window crashed. A hawk came in. The hawk suddenly transformed into a dog. The dog walked and at the same time transformed into Harry.

"How - how...?" Albus asked, opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish.

"He's an animagus," Arthur stated, shocked. "He - he needs to be registered."

"I do not need to be anything," Seth replied, putting the pieces of glass from the window together with a wave of his hand.

"Of course you do, my dear boy," the headmaster tried to argue.

"Do not argue with a green iguana shape shifter!" Suddenly Seth disappeared. Instead of him there was a viper. A big viper. It slithered towards Mr. Weasley and Dumbledore and hissed at them.

Another window shattered as a bat-like creature came into Albus' office. Millie. Then the first window broke again. An owl stumbled across the floor and transformed itself into a worm. Shaking her head Millie helped Draco transform back into his human self.

"A-are you all green iguana shape shifter?" Severus asked, shocked.

"No," Malfoy said, rubbing his head. "I'm not. M-Mione and Harry helped me."

"You need to be registered!" Arthur yelled.

"We do not need to do anything you tell us, human," Seth said calmly. He too had transformed into his human self. "We are no humans anymore. Wee green iguana shape shifter. We do not have to listen to you."

"Now listen to me," Albus said, grabbing the boy's shoulder. But that had been a mistake. Seconds later Seth was a viper again and bit him in the hand and hissed at the headmaster.

"They are Slytherins," Draco said. "If anyone should try to make them do things they don't want to do they will attack."

"Father, let's go," Seth said, turning to leave.

"You will pay for this!" Albus shouted, holding his hand.
