Chapter 10: Animagi Lessons and a Surprise
Walking into the transfiguration classroom, Harry saw Helga and Rowena standing in front of the blackboard talking. They stopped as soon as they noticed that Harry entered the room and looked at him with something akin to pity in they're eyes.
"Are you feeling better Harry?" Rowena asked.
"Yes, I am much better now, just needed some time to think." Seeing the dubious looks that the two women gave him, Harry rolled his eyes. "Could we maybe go on with this lesson? I'd like to know what my animagi form is."
"Of course Harry." Rowena replied after she shook her head quickly as if to rid her head of some stray thought and straightened her skirt. Stepping over to a cabinet one the side of the classroom, she drew out a small vial with a rainbow colored liquid.
"Here, drink this and chant the words Transformus Animagus." She ordered. "Don't forget the words or you won't be able to make it!" Harry quickly complied with the instructions.
After he emptied the bottle, Harry started chanting the words he needed: Animagus Transformus, Animagus Transformus, Animagus Transformus...
He felt small sparks in his hands and feet, which were starting to run up his arms and legs into his chest and head, gasping as his bones were pulled apart and put back together. It was an incredible feeling. After everything stopped, he opened his eyes and looked around. His eyesight was much sharper and he saw everything with a small gold and silver tinge. He walked over to the large mirror that was hanging there for exactly this purpose.
Looking into the mirror, the first thing he saw was that he was a big black stallion. It had a foot long gold and silver horn on the forehead, black wings with gold and silver tips and glowing green eyes. The scar was nowhere to be seen. His hooves were surrounded with flames, and they were leaving scorch marks on the floor as he turned back to Rowena and Helga.
It took a moment for Rowena to get rid of her surprised look, but then came forward and stroked his head. When Helga found her voice again she walked closer to him and stared at his horn, feet and wings. Once her inspection was finished, the stallion that was Harry gave a small cry and transformed back.
"Harry!" Rowena cried out and sat down next the groaning boy who was currently busy rubbing his eyes. "Man that was weird!" He groaned. "What was I? I know it was some kind of horse but which kind? And what's with the wings and horn?"
As Rowena helped Harry up, Helga spoke up. "Harry, I think you are a black Unicorn, they are much more powerful, more aggressive than normal animals, are able if they want, mind you, to kill humans and creatures with just a touch of they're horn or hooves. And they only let virgins touch them because if they are not it will drive them mad. Even if the Unicorn is an animagi." She had a brutally evil smirk on her face as she said the last part looking straight at Rowena who was blushing like a little schoolgirl.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Helga said, "and Harry wouldn't dare. Would he?" Harry shook his head and looked at Rowena with an apologetic smile as he stood up. He quickly sat down on the teacher's desk. Helga shook her head at him and Rowena gave him a disapproving look. Shrugging, Harry slipped down from it and went to sit in the desk chair.
"I got a question," he stated. "When my Dad and his friends became animagi, it took them five years. Why could I be one in only 10 minutes?"
"Ahhh, but you are not a complete animagi yet, you still need to learn to change into your animal side and back without the potion. To your question, your father and his friends needed that long to prepare they're minds, the potion, the spell and the training to change into the animals." Rowena answered with a knowing smile on her lips.
"What do you mean by preparing they're minds?"
"Well, it's like this, you have to have a strong and controlled mind to be able to transform. The longer you are in your animal shape when you drink the potion, the stronger you are in your animal form. You were in it for almost ten minutes, which is very long indeed for such a young wizard as yourself."
"Can I try to change again?" Harry asked.
"Absolutely not," Helga screeched in a stern voice. "You are tired and this is not something to be messed around with! You can be seriously hurt if there is something wrong.! Plus, you have a very dangerous and powerful magical creature!"
"Please? Please, please, please... I'll do anything if you at least let me try!" Harry begged and finished of with a puppy dog look that the two women could not ignore.
"Ok, but you are to do everything we say or we will stop ok?" Helga asked .
"Sure!"
Rowena started. "You have to concentrate at what it felt like when you transformed the first time and how the Dark Unicorn felt. Its form, the power it had, and how everything looked, felt and smelled. If you get this right you will transform and become a full animagus. Now, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes!" Harry replied with a determined voice, excitement filling his eyes. With their nod of assent Harry started. "Ok, here it goes!"
He closed his eyes and concentrated on the looks of the animal, his black fur, green eyes and the glow in them, the black wings with the colored tips and the flaming black hooves that would destruct everything that stood in they're way. Next he thought about how it felt to walk, the powerful muscles rippling beneath the dark fur, seeing everything in a gold tinge and having the feeling of absolute protection around him.
Harry didn't even realize when he had changed and only came out of his trance after the transformation was finished.
Chapter 11: Meet Merlin, visiting the hospital wing and a old professor
Opening his eyes and standing up he didn't even realize that there were any other people in the room until someone started clapping. Turning around he saw two people standing next to Helga and Rowena. One was Salazar and the other one had an aura of power around him that could only belong to Merlin.
Still in his animal form he snickered which came out as a clicking sound and bowed to the spectators.
Suddenly he felt something, something that he could only describe as a warning of some sort. Getting up from the bow he looked around carefully and saw that Merlin was missing from Salazar's side. Sensing a movement from behind him he whirled around and stood before a white tiger that was about twice the size of a normal tiger. He could almost see the attack before it actually came and prepared himself. Dodging the creature, Harry threw his head back and gave the tiger a sharp bite, followed by a kick. The Tiger swayed and suddenly he was attacked by a big golden lion who bit into his throat deeply. Feeling a deep pain in his throat he concentrated on his human body and transformed back.
Looking up he saw the white tiger transform back into Merlin and scream a spell that made the lion fly into the far wall. Then he fell into blackness.
(A/N: You have NO idea what a nice cliffhanger this would be! But I decide to play nice and keep writing.)
Harry awoke with a throbbing pain in his neck and throat. He slowly remembered what happened and groaned. He attacked Merlin and was almost killed by a lion had Merlin not helped him. "Great!" he thought, " Now all I need is to be in the Hospital wing and I made my day!" Slowly opening his eyes, he was blinded by the white sterile walls. "I really should not have jinxed my luck like that! But what did I expect?" He ended the conversation with himself and suddenly noticed a man sitting next to his bed, holding his hand.
Feeling the movement on the bed, the man looked up with red and swollen eyes. "Harry?" he asked and as the boy tried to speak, all that came out was a raspy cough. "Here drink this, it will help your throat." A goblet was pressed into his hand. After drinking it he felt better and took his glasses from the table standing beside the bed. Taking a better look at the man he could not believe who it was, it was ...
(A/N: another nice place to stop, but I won't.)
"Professor Lupin! What are you doing here?" Harry said with happiness in his voice. His voice was still raspy but he could at least speak now. A big grin appeared on the professor's face as he pulled the boy in front of him into a tight hug which the boy returned eagerly. After a while they pulled away and looked down, both trying to hide the blush that was spreading across their cheeks. Getting even redder after a few giggles could be heard, both turned to the three man and women that had entered.
Rowena and Helga were giggling like schoolgirl and Salazar was smirking that smirk that said "I know something that you don't know!" Godric wasn't even looking at Harry but the floor and lastly Merlin had that dammed twinkle in his eye that looked so much like Dumbledore's.
"What happened yesterday?" Harry asked curiously and frowned when he saw Godric flinch as if he had been struck.
"What do you remember Harry?" Merlin said back and Harry started.
"Well, I remember that I took the animagi potion and became a Dark Unicorn, then I became a full animagus because I could transform without the potion. Then it all becomes kind of blurry, I got this weird sense of danger and looked around for it, I noticed that you were gone Merlin, and turned around. Then there was a very big white tiger standing in front of me a started to attack me so I defended myself." Here Harry stopped and frowned as Godric flinched again. "The tiger was you Merlin right?" Merlin just nodded and motioned for him to continue. "After I blocked your attack a lion or something similar jumped at my throat and bit down hard. The last thing I remember is Merlin blasting that animal off me and into the far wall."
Merlin looked sad for a minute and then turned first to Godric then to Harry. "After I transformed into the tiger, I wanted to test your strength and speed, I attacked you and you defended yourself as is expected. But Godric here, thought that you attacked me and was about to kill you because he didn't know that it was you at that time. Blasting him of you was the quickest method of getting him away from you, but he had already severely injured you in that short time span. You've been asleep for almost a week now Harry and there was a chance that you would never be able to speak again. But seeing you healthy and about makes me happy and now I want one of those fancy creams that Salazar talked about!" Merlin ended smiling.
Harry looked confused a moment but then it dawned on him. "They're called Canary Creams, Merlin, and I don't have any here because Salazar took one from Filch's office when he was bringing me here."
Merlin gave Salazar a strong piercing look and sighted as the other only grinned and shrugged. Then Harry frowned and looked around. "Where is Godric?"
"He is not here? Man, where ,pray tell, did all that Gryffindor bravery go to?" Salazar piped up from the corner he was standing in. Turning once again to Harry, Merlin shook his head and gave Harry a potion.
"It's a dreamless sleep potion. Drink up and go to sleep.
