Return To 9 3/4
Harry arrived at Platform 9 ¾ 15 days after he was done with training. Within that time he went to Diagon Alley under an alias, disguised under an illusion charm and polyjuice potion incase either stopped functioning since the illusion charm was commonly known to dysfunction easily when it was used over a moving object and the polyjuice only lasted one hour. At Diagon Alley Harry bought all his supplies and got money from Gringotts. The goblins there didn't seem to care even if you would have been a very well known thief as long as you had the right key for the vault. After, Harry left Diagon Alley, lingering no longer then he had to, and he apparated to Hogsmeade.
Harry considers the blessing for his ability to appear from one place to another is. He recalls when he learned how to apparate. It was 2 months back, one month into his training. One day he was done with his usual training when his instructors came to him and told him he would be learning something different then before. From 2 till 3pm Harry learned nothing except on the concepts of apparating then practicing the ability. Then when he was finished Harry learned the concepts of being an Animagus and again practicing his forms. They learned that he had two forms not just the usual none or the rare ones, something that greatly surprised the intructors.
Flashback
He was tested on his animagus ability and the result showed that he was to be a blacksmail dragon, a rare bread of dragon that wasn't the largest or anywhere near large compared to the rest, but this form had more power and it's scales repealed more magic then the others. The only known spells that were able to affect it were the unforgivables, some elemental magic, and large amount of combined spells. The endurance of the blacksmail lasted much more longer when they flew and their flames intensity and distance was almost doubled then the Chinese fireball that had the next best in the fire- shooting ability. Yet though the blackmails main weakness was, that even though other dragons were sometimes succumbed by the imperious curse (That was rare) the blackmail seemed to be much more vulnerable to that spells then most weak-minded animals. When Harry learned of this he was scared, but his instructors told him not to worry, the human brain overpowers the beast's brain once the beast is controled. Since Harry was able to throw off the imperious this was to be no problem if he transformed and controlled his transformation correctly.
His other form was to be a griffin (Surprise, surprise). The griffin was a rare half-breed between a lion and a bird. Despite popular belief the second half was not always an eagle. The griffin didn't have anything special except that it was a land and a flying animal kinda like a dragon. The griffin too was immune to many types of magic, and even be slightly immune to the crucatious. The griffin was about the size of a horse, length, width, and height wise. Yet when it's wings are spread apart it's width was nearly five to seven meters wider then it's original width. Harry's griffin form had the head of a red colored falcon and it's wings too, with a body of a golden lion, it's paws were however a blend between a regular lion's paw and a falcon's claw. Giving the paw/claw and good land grip yet a fierce talon-like claw at the same time. Altogether the griffin looked a lot like a beast with it's head ablaze and it's wings as a flame.
Harry had mastered his griffin transformation in a month thanks to the fact that he had accomplished apparition in a week, he got to spend the rest his free time was on the Animagus training. However for his dragon shape, Harry had a lot of trouble mastering it. To be blunt Harry didn't even accomplish the basics. His instructors told him it was normal that the more different the Animagus was to you the harder the transformation is, but Harry was still more then peeved for not being able to accomplish at least the basics. Harry was told that they would leave his transformation lessons up to Mcgonnagol as she had more knowledge on it then they.
End of Flashback
Harry got a carriage in the back, and put his luggage and Hedwigs' cage in the carriage. He then went outside the train to sit on a bench. He was going to wait for his friends there. Harry then re-accounted what happened at Hogswart about two weeks ago.
Flashback
Harry headed to Hogwarts with no problem. He even managed to not see Snape, which Harry was greatly thankful for. Harry went up to the gargoyle, and entered after 20 minutes of not-fun 'guessing the password game', finally ending the game after luckily guessing "pickled fresh toad." Harry headed up to the headmasters office with all his items in tow, when he realized he could put a shrinking spell on it. So he did and by the time he reached the entrance to the office he was basically luggage free to anyone else if they saw him. He politely knocked three brief short knocks, twice. After a couple of seconds Dumbledore opened the double doors. He was briefly curious on who Harry was then his eyes held their usual sparkle. He led Harry in and closed the door behind him.
"Hello Harry, how was your summer?" said Dumbledore with a laugh.
"Just bloody marvelous professor. How about you?" said Harry with his voice thick with sarcasm, yet his eyes held no anger or bitterness.
"Just fine Harry. So done with your training I presume. So what brings you here Harry?"
"Well yes I am done with training, but first I need a place to stay, and second I need to see Prof. Mcgonnagol."
"Your first request could easily be answered, you may stay at Hogwarts, and your last.. I may seem to have lost Mcgonnagol for a while, why don't you try and find her with that marvelous map of yours." said Dumbledore while handing Harry an old piece of parchment.
Harry spoke the password to unlocking one of the most useful possessions possible in Hogwarts. With an "I solemnly promise I'm up to no good" the old piece of parchment began to fill with ink. Seconds later showing the Marauder's Map. A map made by his late father and his past friends to show all of Hogwarts in a map. The most useful functions of the map was that it revealed all the occupants of Hogwarts and all the passwords that are required in Hogwarts. For example Harry and Dumbledore was currently residing in Dumbledore's office and the password to Harry's common room, Gryffindor's Tower, was Godric. Harry looked around the map for his transfiguration teacher, Mcgonnagol, in the process he surprisingly found Draco Malfoy his arch enemy since his first year and the son of a well known Death Eater in the past, and unknowingly to most others, a high ranked Death Eater once again. Prof. Mcgonnagol was currently walking around near the Gryffindor's common room area it seemed.
Harry looked up into Dumbledore's face and instead of a "thank you"; the first question out of his mouth was "Why is Malfoy here?"
"Mr. Malfoy is here seeking refuge against his father after he refused to be a death eater. And I ask that you not pester Mr. Malfoy during his time of depression and suffering no matter the number of times he did just opposite of what I ask for you."
"Fine headmaster.." Harry sighed knowing he was passing a great chance to make Malfoy suffer, "I'll go find Prof. Mcgonnagol now." He got up to leave.
"Wait Harry, why don't you leave your possessions here so that the house elves would put it in your room for you later. I'm sure your items are still a bit heavy even if you have the lightening spell cast onto your shrunk items.
"Thank you professor I'll see you later" and Harry left after dumping all his possessions and undoing all the magic that was done on his items.
The only possession Harry took was the Marauder's Map, and his wand, to have an easier time finding Mcgonnagol. He found her 10 minutes later back in her office. He knocked on her door and not even 5 seconds later it was opened. She too like Dumbledore cast the curious and confused expression on who the young man standing before her was. Unlike Dumbledore however, Mcgonnagol did not figure out who he was. So Harry introduced himself.
"Hello professor remember me, the one and only from the dynamic trio of Gryffindor?" said Harry. He could see that it worked for Mcgonnagol had the light of recognition in her eyes then surprise.
"Ha- Harry? Merlin's beard is that really you?
"Yes it is me professor."
Mcgonnagol's PoV
'My, my, the ladies will be after this one. How I feel sorry for the poor souls of those girls if he takes on more after his father and his godfather then I imagine. School flirts and "Have 'em and Leave 'em" were one of the very many names they had at school. Why they just used those girls and tossed them away as if they were toys. Left many heartbroken ladies at school they did.'
"The reason I'm here is that I'm here for animagus training. I think that you have heard from Headmaster what I've been doing over the summer have you not?"
'What? Oh yes receiving those nonhuman training from those psychopathic aurors. Hmph, what Harry must have gone through to be from his previous short and underfed to what he is right now. At least he is alive'
"Yes I did, when did you want to start your training."
"Now would be fine with me."
"You do understand that this will not be easy." 'Understatement of the year, Harry will be lucky if get an Animagus at all.'
"Yes I do the form I have is a blackmail dragon that is why I need your help. I can't seem to even get the basics of that form."
'A blackmail? Oh my this one will have a very hard time indeed.'
Normal PoV
So that was how Harry spent the rest of his summer practicing his dragon Animagus technique. It was a good thing that she knew the truth about his godfather because Harry let it slip more then once on how is godfather was a dog Animagus along with his father on being a stag. Thanks to the professor Harry was halfway done with that form. He still had a normal head and his black scales were peach. Also his wings were still not formed and he was 12 feet long where he was supposed to be at least 50 feet in length.
End of Flashback
Harry understood though that since the school year was starting having animagus lessons with Mcgonnagol was going to be more rare and secretive. Too many hormonal teens that probably are hiding somewhere snogging might see him having lessons, and he couldn't risk that. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of voices that signaled the arrival of the first students.
