This was basically filler with a bit of Q&A thrown in for reference later.
Disclaimer in Chapter 1! Will add more as necessary.
Over the next couple days, the four kept busy. Harriet did physical training in the morning before breakfast and, after teasing them that she would be the one protecting them, the others joined in. After that they would eat breakfast together before showering, changing, and gathering in what had once been used as a ballroom. Harriet spent the next several hours training the special birds she had gotten for Clint and Bruce while the Marauders erected opaque privacy wards and went about their own thing. Harri was curious about what they were doing but knew they wouldn't tell her until they were ready. They ate lunch while they worked before stopping around two and going to the play room. The Marauders would either watch a movie or play with the Wii while Harri created some pieces of equipment for the new birds, Clint, and Bruce.
They were so into their new routine that Harri was only vaguely aware that her birthday had rolled around and that something was going on. She got up at her normal time and completed her work out but this time it was alone. Then she ate breakfast by herself and went to the completely cleared out ballroom to train with the birds. She had just fitted them with the pieces of magically protected armor she had created for them when she felt a tug on her magic.
Recognizing it as the magic circle she had given Jarvis, she conjured a large hood that would cover her face and apparated away. She landed with her wand drawn and a small ice blade in the other hand in the center of a rotating blue circle that was projected in the center of what she recognized as one of Tony's labs. "What's wrong Jarvis?" She called warily, "Is Tony hurt? Do you need help?" She looked around and saw only the curious bots in the lab.
"I apologize for the worry Miss Potter." Cane Jarvis' voice from the ceiling. "There is no threat currently, I just wished to check that the circle did work."
Harri sighed in relief and let the ice and hood disappear, "I see. This time is fine since it was to test the circle but please refrain from doing that without warning me unless it's an actual emergency. I was afraid something had happened already."
"Of course. I understand." Jarvis replied, "I did have secondary reason for calling you here."
Harri smiled warmly, "What can I do for you J?"
"I wish to fully scan you so I will know your signature but I also wish to get some magic readings." Jarvis said.
Harri nodded and sheathed her wand, "That's certainly doable. You will need to scan me three times though. I have three forms plus a glamour I will be using for safety purposes but you should be able to sense me under that. You could last time."
"Three forms?" Jarvis questioned, "Meaning what?"
"Wizards can undergo a process to allow them to become what is called an animagus. That means it will allow them to become an animal. There are two animagus transformations people can do. The first is one that directly reflects you, you have no choice in what this animal is. The second one can't be done unless you have done the first but you can choose this one, this one is all about will power which is why not everyone can complete it." Harri explained, "I have both of these forms as well as how I usually look, hence three forms."
"I see." Jarvis said, "If I may I'll begin with this form. I will need you to walk around a bit to get movement analysis as well." Harri nodded and began an even pace, greeting the bots by name at the far end before going back. "Very good, one moment please."
Harri stopped and patted Dum-E on his claw, "Hey buddy." The bot chirped at her and she smiled, "Have you been helping your dad?" The claw moved up and down frantically. Harri giggled, "Have you tried any new shake recipes lately?" The bot let put several chirps and a low whine. Remembering the sad sound from before Harri gave Dum-E a sympathetic pat, "He will like them, just remember he can't drink motor oil."
"Miss Potter, your second form if you would." Jarvis called. Harri nodded and changed into Godiva, Dum-E let out a startled cheap and rolled backward. Godiva meowed at him and rubbed up against his base before padding around the cleared space of the lab so Jarvis could get clear pictures. "I'm done with this form Miss Potter, one moment." Godiva sat down and wrapped her tail around her paws patiently. As she waited Dum-E and U rolled closer carefully and started to pet her awkwardly with their arms, it was a little uncomfortable but she purred anyway at the adorable bots. "Alright Miss Potter, I am ready for the third." Godiva extracted herself from the bots before giving a big jump and transforming into Glacia midair. She flew around the room, making sure to use her full wing span, before landing on Dum-E and cooing back and forth with the bot. "Excellent Miss Potter. Could you change back so I may ask some things?" Glacia glided off Dum-E and changed into Harriet quickly.
"What do you need to know?" Harri asked, straightening her clothes.
"What type of bird was your third form? I have your second as an ocelot but I couldn't match the bird to any known avian species." Jarvis reported.
"You wouldn't have been able to." Harri said, "I'm an ice phoenix, it's a magical bird. It's even rarer than a regular phoenix."
As she spoke holograms appeared around her with muggle legends on phoenixes. "Phoenixes being fire birds who burn to ash and reemerge from them whole and healthy?"
"Yes." Harri said, "Phoenixes go through burning days about once a year when they are younger, however the older they get the longer they can go without it."
"It also says that phoenixes are birds of flame." Jarvis said, pulling said bit of information directly in front of her, "How does that work with you being an ice phoenix?"
Harri held up a hand and her blue flames engulfed it, "My flames burn cold and when they are applied to something they create ice." She tossed a small fireball at the ground and it created a small area of ice where it hit.
"Very interesting." Jarvis said, the stats going a bit crazy as they ran over the ice and the fire in her hand. "Could you show me some magic so I can get some more readings?"
Harri let the flames in her hand disburse and pulled her wand, "Sure, let's start with charms." She cast a levitation charm on Dum-E, "This is a levitation charm." The bot squeaked excitedly, his arm swiveling around curiously. Harri put the bot down and hit him with a color changing charm, he changed from all black to blue, "That's a simple color change spell." Dum-E beeped happily and U and Butterfingers poked at his chassis and arm where the color change was most noticeable. She canceled the spell and giggled as the bot whined. "Glamours are also considered charms." Harri said putting on the glamour she was going to have to wear soon, before taking it right back off. "Then a little bit of conjuration." She conjured a rose which she handed to U, "That will disappear in about an hour. Permanent conjurations take way too much power to accomplish for anyone to use on a daily basis."
She walked over to a stool and pulled it into the cleared area with her, "Now for some transfiguration." She waved her wand at the stool and it turned into a goose. "Inanimate to animate object transfigurations aren't permanent however inanimate to inanimate and animate to animate usually are until the spell is canceled." The goose turned back into a stool and Harri quickly turned it into a throne. She dropped into it, "Now a bit of defense, which is a bit tricky since I don't have someone to defend against but I can show you two." she cast her patronus and smiled as Prongs pranced around proudly, "This is a patronus, they can take many different forms but their main purpose is to drive off dementors which are creatures that make you relive your worse memories and suck out your soul."
Harri patted the stag on the nose before letting him disappear, "Finally there is Fiendfyre, the cursed flame. It can reduce anything to ash and takes a very powerful person to keep it from raging out of control." She cast it and let the flaming snake slither from the tip of her wand and over toward her other hand. She grinned at the ceiling as the snake hissed, "Question? Or is that enough for now?"
"I have obtained enough to being going off of for now, thank you Miss Potter." Jarvis said.
Harri stood, letting the snake dissipate and the stool go back to normal, "Alright, I'll be going but you know how to get in touch with me if you need to."
"Indeed Miss Potter, thank you for your help." Jarvis said, "And may I wish you a Happy Birthday."
Harri grinned, "Why thank you Jarvis." She said a quick goodbye to the bots before changing to Glacia and flaming back to the ballroom.
"There you are!" Remus called out, just as she changed back. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room, "I've got something to show you cub!" He said excitedly. Harri raised an eyebrow at her uncle but allowed herself to be drug along. Finally, he stopped at the doors of the dining hall and pulled her right in front of them, then with a flick of his wand the doors flew open.
"Happy Birthday!" Came the shout from inside. Harri gave a full grin as she stepped inside to see her father, Sirius, and Luna standing in front of the table with their arms thrown up. Looking around she saw streamers thrown across the room, a large cake and a small pile of presents on the table and Griphook and Luna's father sitting there.
"Thanks guys!" Harri laughed, "This is awesome!"
"Only the best for you Princess." James chimed as Luna ran forward and hugged Harri. Looking around at the friends and family around her Harri couldn't help but feel excited for the things to come.
