The group of Tenza moved passed the introductions, and followed the path.
Orientation wasn't until Monday. So they had a couple days to get to explore the school. Such as the cliff, looking out at an ocean of blood, which they were currently walking along.
As they were walking, Georgie suddenly burst into light, and reappeared as a teenager. He didn't even stop walking. Not until he noticed everyone else had stopped, and was staring at him.
"Aren't you going to get dressed?" Georgie innocently asked.
"Dressed!!!" Hermione gaped at not only the power, but the irrational use of magic.
Georgie blinked. "Didn't you read the pamphlet? The school prefers we stay in the form of teenager humans. Is supposed to help students learn better control of their disguises."
"We don't need disguises," Draco sneered.
Georgie stared at him like he was stupid. A look Draco didn't appreciate. Until The "teenager's" expression turned to a strange bewildered-realization. As if the conclusion he came to, didn't make any sense to him.
"Don't tell me..." Georgie stared at them. "You think THAT'S your true form?"
At his siblings confusion, Georgie pulled at his hair. "How is it possible to be this ignorant."
Hermione glared, "I am NOT ignorant." taking offense at the very idea that she didn't know everything.
Georgie rolled his eyes, and suddenly burst into light again... only this time, he stayed like that. He was now a floating ball of energy, the size of a man, with some kind of crystal crown for hair. "
"This," Georgie's voice echoed around them, "Is a Tenza's true form. Something I've known about since I was 8!"
The others, obviously much more inexperienced Tenza, could only stare at the floating ball of energy.
Draco quipped, "Well most of us didn't have the luxury of being trained by witch hunters."
The ball sighed, before Georgie reformed as a teenager.
Harry spoke up, "Can you show me how to do that?"
Georgie groaned, "I guess I have to. Can't really leave my siblings high and dry, can I?" Strangely that sounded like he was actually asking them.
"But before we start," Georgie warned, "Once you break the Perception filter. It will be harder for you to maintain human form. You might lose control if you get hurt, or emotional."
Draco frowned, not knowing if he could deal with that. Thankfully Neville voiced his concern for him.
"I don't know," worried Neville. "Gran might not like it if I lose control, and turn into a lumos." a simple light spell.
Luna smiled serenely, "We're going to have to, eventually. Better to start practicing now, while were at a school filled with people learning to disguise themselves."
Georgie nodded, "We have a natural Perception filter around us. But we can control it. Just like we can control our ability to make pocket dimensions, and bend the laws of physics." He said that like they should know about their apparent super powers.
Georgie deflated, "Guess I have a lot to teach you."
Breaking the perception filter... should not have been that easy, Harry reasoned. They just had to center on themselves. And focused their magic on breaking it.
Since they all had completed their N.E.W.Ts decades ago, and had already learned control of their magic, it might be why they had such an easy time pinpointing the spell, once they knew of it.
Unfortunately, once it did break, all their stuff fell into heaps on the floor.
"Should have thought of that," Georgie sighed. Before turning into his own ball of light. Everything they had been carrying, floated into him.
"I'll carry this for you, until you get better control of your telekinesis."
As Georgie gathered their stuff together... Harry realized... he was floating...
Experimentally, he raised himself higher, as if swimming to the surface of a pool... and he went higher... and higher.
"I'M FLYING!!!" Harry screamed. Flying without a broom!!!
He started doing loop-de-loops, and corkscrews, and barrel rolls. Flying with skill even he hadn't known.
It wasn't long before he was joined by another ball of light. And somehow knew, on an instinctive level, it was Draco. Malfoy always had loved flying as much as himself.
"Get back here!!!" Hermione demanded. Glaring at the pair, as they preformed stunts, hundreds of feet over the blood ocean. "You have any idea how dangerous that is!"
Georgie laughed at the idea. "Come on sis!" really getting into the spirit of having siblings. "Localized gravity manipulation, is as easy as breathing for us! You're doing it right now!"
Hermione "looked" at her lack of feet, floating a good foot off the ground. She never liked flying... yet this felt natural.
The whole thing felt second nature. Even how she was perceiving everything around her, in every possible direction. She had no eyes, yet she saw everything for miles. Had no ears, yet she could clearly hear just as far. A mile away, she perceived ants marching across the school grounds.
It was all just background noise. But if she focused on it... she could smell roses in the school's green house.
Yet none of this was overwhelming her... she felt... free. As if her body had been kept tense for years, but she could finally relax.
"Why doesn't this feel weird?" Neville asked.
Luna answered, before Georgie could. "I imagine it's because these are our real bodies. It's instinct. We may be used to our human form. But it isn't our natural shape."
"Come on guys!!!" Harry demanded. "You're not gonna let Malfoy have all the fun."
Georgie started rising up, "It will be fine. You literally have no chance of falling."
"Boys!!!" Hermione exclaimed. "Can't take anything seriously."
Luna smiled. Despite not having a mouth, everyone could see the happy grin. "Lighten up Hermione. Class doesn't start till Monday, we can afford to goof around a bit. There is no hurry." Before she too, flew into the air. Pushing Neville up with her.
Hermione sighed. But reluctantly joined them... and found, for the first time in her life... she enjoyed flying.
