Chapter 36
Harry smiled as he looked at his little brother and sister. Both were looking at him expectantly and he had to snort at how excited they were. Today he was beginning the process of the animagus transformation. Now it mostly depended on their will to learn it but it normally took a while to master it. Currently they sat in a triangle with Demeter and Mia having a potion vial in-front of them. Today was there first lessons, the lesson were they would be learning what their animal would be.
"Alright this is what you're going to do. Drink the potion and then you're going to relax and clear you're mind. To do that concentrate on one thing, be it your breathing, or something else, but let it relax you. Once you're mind it clear you'll be transported, mentally, into a place that represent you're animal. You'll know what to do from there." Harry stated and both Mia and Demeter agreed before taking the shining blue potion and downing it.
Harry watched his brother and sister carefully he realized that Mia was having a hard time concentrating and had to smile. A lot of people said that Mia was like him before he was sent back in time. Clossing his eyes he asked the room for the soft sound of a phoenix song. It was the only thing back then that had helped him in concentrating for this. The effects was immediate and Harry had to smile as Mia relaxed.
Demeters mind:
He was near a river but standing on what looked to be a field of flowers. Looking around he could tell that he had a acute sense of sight, smell and hearing because the river seemed quite loud even though he was a few kilometre's away. He could smell what seemed like fish in the river and everything was very clear. He took notice that he was rather low to the ground and that he had four limbs to walk on. Swiftly doing so, although it took a bit of time to get used to, he walked to the river and looked down at himself. What he found shocked the living daylight out of him. There looking right back at him was what looked to be a European otter. He had a sleek, streamlined body with a thick tail that seemed to taper to a point. He had small ears and a hexagon nose. His limbs were short and his feet were webbed but with toes that ended in sharp claws. That showed that he was both a land and a aquatic. He had long whiskers located on each side of his snout. His colouring was dusky brown and had a lighter brown belly. Some of his hairs were long while his underfur was shorter.
For a moment he just looked at himself then everything seemed to change and he found himself in what looked like a mountain range with snow all over the place. Looking around he found that it was quite cold but he didn't seem to mind at all. Suddenly he started to run and he found that he was still on four legs but this time they were long and his paws were broad. For a moment he just ran but finally he came to a stop were a river was going. Looking around he went towards it and looked down. What looked back up at him was something he had never seen. It was a sort of Lynx bit his fur was dense and silvery like with black markings. He had a furry ruff which resembled a double-pointed beard, a long thick tale that had a black tip. He frowned at that. He had seen different Lynx' in a book before but he knew the tail was not normal. Shaking his head he started to look at his appearance again. He had long furry toffs on his ears that were black and pointed. Growling at the water he found that he had 28 or some teeth, with four long canines. Looking down at his paws he found that they were quite tick and looked very powerful. In his opinion he was a cross between a Lynx and a snow leopard or something because his fur was just like one.
Suddenly everything turned dark and when he opened his eyes he found himself looking at Harry who was laying on a sofa relaxing.
Mia's mind:
Opening her eyes Mia was shocked to find that she was surrounded by snow, snow and ice by the looks of it and quite a bit of it as well. Everything was covered in the snowy white stuff that fell from the sky. It was beautiful and enchanting. Looking down she raised a paw and found pure white fur. It seemed she was some sort of animal that was meant to be in the arctic of something. Looking around again she started to make her way towards what looked to be a wall of ice. At first it was hard to walk on all fours but she got used to it. The moment she arrived though she was shocked at what she saw. There looking back at her was an arctic wolf. Her pure white fur glistered in the sun light, it's thickness protecting her from the cold. She looked beautiful and she knew she would be able to run fast.
Suddenly everything changed and now she found herself soaring in the sky. With a thrill she found that she had a second form and that this one would allow her to fly. Her body felt weird thought, larger then any bird she had seen before. Swooping down she landed and looking down she let a gasp leave her lips or beak. She had human legs but feet like a hawk. Her legs weren't bag though they were grey with darker grey strips like a tiger. Looking behind her she found long grey and black tail feathers that were beautiful. Spreading her arms she found that they were large wings with beautiful feathers covering them. Going she walked to the river side and looked down. Looking back up at her was the head of a bird with a pure black beak and feathers. She was gorgeous but the question was, what on earth was she?
End of minds:
"Well then, by the looks on you're faces everything went well." Harry commented and both Mia and Demeter gave him bright smiles.
"It was amazing mate, it was as if I was the animal and oh I got two forms!" Demeter exclaimed causing Harry to chuckle.
"Me to! Oh it's going to be so cool doing this!" Mia exclaimed and Harry sat up a smirk on his face.
"Two forms eh, well good for you guys, it's going to be fun teaching you both. I suspect that your second form is magical?" He asked and they gave hesitant nods.
"Don't worry we'll know once you're picture is taken. We'll do that now anyway so let's get started." Harry said while taking something from his side. He sat in front of them and put the paper down before placing his hands on it. Closing his eyes he whispered,"Revelamini meum animal" while thinking of his grim form. Suddenly ink started to appear on the piece of parchment under his hands and formed a beautiful, or, dark picture of his grim form.
"Wow." Mia whispered while looking at the dark picture.
"This is the exact picture of my grim form. As you see it shows me all the characteristics I'd need to transform." Harry stated and both Demeter and Mia gave nods.
"All you have to do is concentrate on the form you want to show and then whisper the spell. You'll see it will work." Harry stated while handed four sheets of the parchment to his siblings, two each.
For a moment they didn't speak but finally Mia tried it. It took her a bit of time but at last a picture formed on one of her parchments and when she finished looked down at it with shock and amazement. Demeter seeing that his own sister had done it followed suit and in no time a picture also appeared. Finally they did their other form and handed the parchments to Harry who looked them over.
"Alright so Demeter, you have a European Badger and what looks like a chimera of sorts formed from a snow leopard and a Canadian Lynx. Quite the animals bro." Harry commented causing Demeter to smile brightly.
Then Harry turned to Mia's animals. The first one he saw was the arctic wolf but then he saw something he had only read about. It was another extinct animal quite like his second form.
"Wow." He whispered causing Mia to look at him worried.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Both of you have pretty unique magical forms, Demeter you have a Chimera, those are good because of the different powers that come with them. You Mia, you have a form much like my second one. People think they are extinct because they haven't been seen in hundreds of years. You're second form is known as a Featheredone. The female one has quite a different thing from my own winged form, you're body is in two parts one part human the other part bird. When you grow into adult hood your form will gain new, should I say parts, like armour formed by your magic. Your body also shows itself in this form so if per-say a person with this form was overweight then it would show in there form." Harry stated causing Mia's eyes to widen.
"So cool!" She exclaimed causing Harry to chuckle.
"You both have amazing forms and it will be an adventure to teach you both how to transform and use this forms to their fullest potential. You though will have to do all the reason on your forms. Most books can be found here in this room but you can also find information in the school library." Harry stated and both gave nods before Harry looked at the time. "Well you two best get to your dormitories, it's almost curfew for you two. I best return to the buss also. Oh by the way did you figure out how to open the egg Demeter?"
"No, all it does is scream and screech!" Demeter stated tiredly
"Try the opposite of fire." Harry stated before leaving the room.
Walking the walls of Hogwarts, Harry felt some sort of longing. Suddenly though he found himself in front of the transfiguration classroom and a light flickering inside. Going over her gave a soft knock before walking in. There Professor McGonagall sat at her desk grading papers. When he knocked again she looked up seemingly in shock then gave him one of her rare smiles.
"Harry, what can I do for you?" She asked causing him to smile.
"Just left my brother and sister, walking around, I came to your classroom and found a light. Correcting homework?" He asked while walking inside.
"Yes, yes I am. Would you like to help?" She asked causing him to chuckle.
"You sure?" He asked and she gave a nod before he sat down and grabbed a quill.
"I was quite impressed when I watched you against the Horntail Harry, very well done." She stated causing Harry to smile. "Was that just your wind elemental you used?"
"Yes, it's the only elemental I used because it would show the world that Elementals could be strong or stronger then wand waving wizards." Harry stated causing the Head of Gryffindor to laugh.
"Well I am very much aware of that fact but I also found that many more people learned that fact during your task. Now the question is how will you be doing the second task?" She asked causing him to chuckle.
"You'll just have to see for yourself Professor." He stated causing her to laugh softly.
For a few minutes there was silence in the classroom but then McGonagall spoke again. This time enquiring about his parents.
"What will you do after you inform them that you aren't a squib?" She asked softly.
"I don't know, they won't be happy that they've been lied to all their lives, well during my time growing up. But we were thinking of attending Hogwarts if at all possible. But you never know." Harry stated and Minerva gave him a gentle smile.
"It would be good having you back in Gryffindor Potter, Hogwarts has been slightly to calm with you, Ronald and Hermione gone." She stated causing Harry to chuckle.
"That's because we aren't here to cause mischief." He stated and she laughed with him.
It didn't take long to correct all the transfiguration homework and after a cup of tea Harry left his Head of House for the bus. Arriving her went to the room he shared with Hermione and Ron. Both were there playing a game of chest. Sitting on his bed both looked at him with smiles.
"How did it go with Demeter and Mia?" Hermione asked.
"Great, both have two forms and they'll be very useful to them. After that though I went to Minnies class, or at least I past it by. Helped her with some of the correction. We talked." Harry commented causing both to look at him in shock.
"Bloody hell mate, you helped correct homework!" Ron shouted causing Harry to laugh.
"Hey, I got to spend some time with our Head of House and good friend. She misses us here at Hogwarts you know, says it's to quiet." Harry stated causing both Ron and Hermione to snort.
...
Hogsmead weekend came and Ginny was exited. Harry had asked her to the Yule ball and of course she had swiftly accepted. At this time though she was looking for a gown and so was Luna because Draco had asked her to the ball, Hermione who Ron had asked, and Susan who Neville had asked to the ball. As they looked through the dress shops in Hogsmead they could not find a single thing. Finally they decided to make there way to Star Alley and thanks to the shadows they were able to do so without anybody noticing their leaving. Unknown to them Harry had also gone in search for dress robes there with Ron, Neville, and Draco. Thankfully they were in two different sections of the alley and so would not be running into each other.
Inside a beautiful store the girls all looked around for a dress to wear something that would show of their bodies and make them stand out amongst the girls at the ball.
"You know Hermione, I wound what people will say when we show up?" Ginny said while walking out of the dressing room wearing a blood red gown with lots of beading.
"I think they'll be shocked but you never know." Hermione remarked before stepping out of her own changing room wearing a green gown with a lot of frill.
They looked at each other before scrunching up their noses. Clearly not happy with their choices they went back inside to try the other ones one.
"What until people see you Luna, going to the ball with the Ice Prince of Slytherin. They'll be so shocked." Susan said and both Ginny and Hermione agreed.
"And you Susan, with Neville Longbottom of all people. You know Neville is known as one of the most thought out boys in the school." Ginny said and Susan laughed softly.
"I know, but they won't be getting him." Susan stated and the others agreed.
"You know girls, it feels as though I've been married to Harry ever since we arrived back. I mean we've together for so long, longer then most married people." Ginny said and the girls gave hums. They all knew that before they were sent back most of the boys had proposed to them. Ginny and Harry even had a date set up for their marriage, they were going to be the first ones to get married out of all of them.
"I know what you mean Ginny. Wounder if the guys noticed it though?" Hermione asked causing Ginny to laugh.
"Don't worry, I ask Harry if you know we could do it soon and his answer was that our bodies were to young." She stated causing the others to aw.
"You know that is really sweat of him Ginny." Luna remarked.
"I know but man I wish I could just jump him or better yet he could just jump me. He admitted that he has wanted to do that for a long time but that he was trying to be responsible." Ginny stated causing Hermione to laugh.
"Harry is always responsible but it's really sweat of him to think about it." Hermione said before walking out of her dressing room in a blue gown. A few seconds later the others walked out and looked at themselves before brilliant smiles formed on their lips.
"Girls I think we got out gowns." Ginny remarked while looking down at her own and twirling slightly.
In another store, Harry, Draco, Neville and Ron were all looking through some dress robes.
"So Harry, how are you going to do the second task?" Draco asked as he pulled a set of robes of the rack before putting them back.
"I have my ways Draco all I can say is that wind isn't my only elemental." Harry laughed and Ron did as well. He knew quite well that Harry had three Elementals. Two main and one secondary. His two main Elementals were wind and dark his secondary Elemental was water.
"Come on mate, Ron has a hint why not us?" Neville complained causing Harry to chuckle.
"You guys will just have to suffer." Harry stated causing the guys to sigh.
"You are to stubborn Harry." Draco growled and Harry chuckled before pulling something out and grinning.
"Fine by me but I think I just found my dress robes." He stated.
Two hours after arriving in the alley, the girls left for Hogsmead, as when they arrived swiftly charmed their bags to look like other bags. From there they started to look around Hogsmead. Ten minutes of looking they finally found Harry, Neville and Ron. Walking over they sat down.
"Well hello my love, how was your day?" Harry asked while giving Ginny, was on his lap, a kiss.
"Um, found my dress, you?" She asked.
"Found my robes and no you can't see it. You'll see them at the Yule Ball." He stated causing her to pout.
"Where's Draco?" Luna asked.
"He's waiting for you in Honeydukes?" Neville answered and Luna gave them a smile before leaving for Honeydukes.
"Hey want to go walking around Hogsmead for the rest of the trip?" Harry asked Ginny who gave him a bright smile.
"I'd like that." She agreed and with parting words the duo left.
Walking around the small village both Harry and Ginny relaxed and talked to each other about random things, they talked about the dance lessons, most of the males and females had to go through in the school especially the Gryffindors. Thankfully McGonagall had been able to get rid of all those who knew how to dance so that the twins didn't sabotage the lessons. That of course caused Harry to laugh at the thought of re-taking dance lessons with McGonagall.
Flashback...
Harry Potter was nervous, in all his sixteen years he didn't think he would have been more nervous but he was. The Ministry was having a function here at Hogwarts and the older students were allowed to attend. Of course it involved dancing and formal wear something he didn't normally do but for the love in his life he was willing to do anything. Ginny Weasley had wished to attend the function and so he had agreed to take her. Now though he was in a pinch. He, Harry Potter, didn't know how to dance.
Taking a deep breath he looked at the door of his head of house and gave a hesitant knock. There was no response for a bit but then the door opened to reveal Professor Minerva McGonagall.
"Potter, what can I aid you with?" She asked looking slightly worried.
"Um Professor, you know the function coming up and everything. Well Ginny wanted to go and I agreed well the thing is. Icandance,couldyoupleaseteachme." he muttered the last part, cheeks burning with embarrassment.
"Mr. Potter, I did not hear the last part for you were mumbling, now if you would stop your mumbling and repeat it I may be able to help you." She stated and Harry took a deep breath.
"I was wondering if you could please teach me how to dance Professor." He stated and for a moment the Head of Gryffindor didn't say a thing but when Harry looked up at her he say a gentle smile on her face.
"Your father came to me in the same manner Potter, just before his wedding to your mother. Asked the same question. Come in, come in. I'm sure if I could teach your father how to dance I cant teach you." She stated.
End of Flashback...
"I'm sure she can teach them after all she taught two Potters how to dance." He laughed causing Ginny to as well.
At last the duo left for Hogwarts at a leisure walk. In the distance they could see Draco and Luna and had to smile. They were the most unusual couple that could have ever come out of Hogwarts yet they worked together.
"Want to meet me for a bath tonight?" Harry whispered to Ginny who looked at him in shock. "Thought you would like to see the egg in all it's unscreaming beauty."
"I'd love to." She agreed before kissing him.
"Meet me at the Room of Requirements just before curfew." He stated and with a nod they both split, Ginny going into Hogwarts and Harry going into the bus.
Later that night Harry swiftly made his way to the Room of Requirements and started to passe. After three turns a door appeared and he waited. At last Ginny arrived. Wrapping his arms around her waist he kissed her deeply which she returned.
"Inside?" She whispered and he gave a nod before opening the door.
Inside the Room of Requirements was like nothing it had been before. Normally the room was used for meetings or lessons or research but not this. The entire room felt like freedom. Everything was tilled, with the ceiling showing the night sky. In the centre was a large bathtub almost like a pool, On the right was a set of chairs that they could put their things on.
"Wow." Ginny whispered and Harry had to agree.
"Shall we?" he asked and she gave a laugh before running over to the chairs and dumping her stuff on one.
Harry soon followed but when he turned he was not expecting what he say, Ginny Weasley, the love of his life, standing before him stripping. She had taken her top off showing him her white bra and was currently working on her jeans. Looking at her perfectly curved back he took a deep breath and started to undress as well. First thing to go with his shirt then his pants leaving him in boxers.
"Wow Harry!" Ginny exclaimed causing him to look up then down at himself as he say Ginny looking at his chest.
He had to admit that he was better built then the first time he had been fourteen. Not only that but he had a tan and he was taller then before. A faint line of black hair trailed from his belly button into his boxer shorts and his skin didn't have as many scars as before.
"Like what you see?" He asked with a chuckle.
"Loving it." She breathed causing him to smirk.
"Why thank you my beautiful love, might I point out that I am loving what I see as well." He remarked while looking at her almost naked form.
Of course Ginny gave him a smirk before turning around and getting rid of her undergarments. She proceeded to walk towards the pool sized tub making sure to sway her hips. At the edge she looked back at Harry and gave him a smile.
"Hurry up." With that she dived into the pool and Harry laughed as he did just as she ordered.
