Chapter 6: The Killer B's
"Harry, Harry, wake up," Harry heard, groggily, as he felt someone lightly slapping his face.
"W-what happened?" Harry asked, weakly sitting up.
"You fainted. You had three animagus forms, and they were magical. I'm surprised you're up now, you should be resting like you were, but this idiot here," Mrs. Figg said, nodding in the direction of Sirius, "insisted on waking you up." Her face was pale, and she couldn't hide the fact that he was up.
"Well, we're glad you're up anyway," Sirius replied to her comment.
Harry noticed he wasn't in the wooded lot any more. He was lying on a couch that looked like it was from the seventies. He noticed a few cats slinking around, and the unmistakable smell of cabbage that only came from Mrs. Figg's house.
"I must be at Mrs. Figg's house," he directed towards Sirius.
"Yes, you are. We didn't know how long you would be out, so we brought you here." He replied with relief at seeing Harry coming back to his old self.
Harry decided to lighten the mood, therefore, not bringing up the dream he had while he was unconscious, so he brought up his animagi form.
"So, did you guys know what forms I am?"
"Yes, we do. We got them on film. Something called a Polaroid." Sirius said.
"We needed them to be still so you could study them easier. If they were moving, you would have had a tougher time memorizing them." Mrs. Figg clarified.
"Well, let me see them," Harry demanded anxiously. He wanted to know what exactly his forms looked like. Sirius handed him three pictures with a white bottom.
He turned over the first one. It was a lion! The fur was just like Harry remembered. A fiery red mane and a golden body, it was as big as a horse, if not bigger. His eyes were the same color, except the pupils were cat like. It seemed the mane came down a bit to form into a lightning bolt on his forehead. Other than the size, Harry didn't see what magical properties it had.
"Sirius, what is so magical about this lion, besides the size I mean."
"It is a Nemean lion. Its fur is like dragon hide. Impenetrable to physical and magical attacks. But you can still get hurt. Same weakness as a dragon, its eyes. You can still get thrown into walls, you just won't bleed all over the place." Sirius answered with pride.
Harry flipped over the next picture. It looked like a giant bald eagle he read about in primary school. Its head was more silver tinted though. It had the same eyes as Harry; the beak was a vivid yellow just like its claws. His body feathers looked black, but Harry knew they were really a dark emerald green. The eagle also had a dark emerald green lightning bolt on its forehead. Again, Harry didn't know what was so magical, besides the obvious. His last two forms seemed like they were Hippogriffs, if not for the weirdness of how they looked, they didn't really have any magical powers.
"Well, Sirius, what's special about this form?" Harry asked.
"This happens to be a very rare transformation. See, it is rare for someone to have an animagus that are out of their native region. All three of yours are. It's even rarer to have a magical animagus, different coloring and different sizes than they normally would have. Again, you have all three." Here, Sirius paused, getting his breath back.
"But the rarest transformation someone can have is an elemental animal transformation. That is what your transformation is. Yours is called a Thunderbird. It is very beneficial to have an elemental animagus. Once you are able to fully transform, you'll get an advantage from your form, but only one. The one I believe you will get, is an improvement on your eyesight, since that is its biggest advantage." Sirius again took a breath.
"That's not all," Mrs. Figg jumped in, "you'll also get an elemental power boost. See, all wizards are capable of elemental powers. But with an elemental animagus, you get a once in a lifetime chance at a forbidden element. I believe you will now have the power boost of Emerald Lightning. That, however, isn't your forbidden element. We'll try to find out what that is in few days when Sirius leaves so you can rest," Sirius started whimpering at this, but stopped once Mrs. Figg threw a glare his way.
"You'll also be able to move through your to special elements. Kind of like apparating, but not. You sort of open a portal of sorts to take you where you want to go." She also informed him.
"How do you know all this?" Harry questioned.
Mrs. Figg looked sheepish at this, and said "I did a history report on it in sixth year for history of magic."
"You still remember that far back?" Sirius blurted out suddenly, which he instantly regretted.
"YOU WILL GO GIVE ALL MY CATS A BATH RIGHT NOW, ONE AT A TIME," Mrs. Figg shrieked knowing that it would probably take him two days and when he would be finally done have a face full of scratches, if she was lucky.
Sirius knew better than to argue, so he left dragging his feet and whimpering.
Harry thought he would distract Mrs. Figg from Sirius, and asked another question, "What are some other elemental animals?"
Mrs. Figg immediately lost her scowling face to a warm smile and answered Harry, "a phoenix for one. It's a fire element, native only to Europe and Asia. All elemental creatures are native to one place and are always birds. Those two are the only ones I know of. Also, they are related to a non- magical animal. The phoenix with its natural grace is related to the swan, as I assume you have seen the resemblance. The Thunderbird comes from North America and South America, its relative is the American bald-eagle.
"The Americas have another unofficial elemental bird called Quezacotl. The reason it isn't an official elemental is because it has no fowl relative, and is actually a mix between two species. A snake and a bird." She answered.
"Well, what can it do, the Thunderbird, that is?" Harry asked.
"It can call on powerful thunder storms, and can absorb lightning to become ten times its original size. It can also summon lesser Thunderbirds. They are about the size of a parrot, and can't do what normal Thunderbirds can. They, however, can launch small lightning bolts at their targets, and in an air force a hundred or more can overwhelm a medium size army. They are always electric blue too."
Harry was shocked at the power of that form. He felt all the power of each form, on they were all equally powerful. He was fiddling with his hands when he felt the last picture in his hand. He turned it over to find the most beautiful animal he seen in his life. It was a snow white wolf. It was about four feet high, and had so much loneliness in its eyes. Harry knew though, that the loneliness was by choice, almost like his loneliness. It had the same green eyes and had a pink nose. His fur was extremely shaggy, like it lived in a very cold placed. He barely noticed a gold lightning bolt mark above its eyes.
"W-what is this animal?" Harry asked, still in awe at its beauty.
"Ah, that would be a Siberian Lone Wolf. Not much is known about it, except that it is abnormally fast, and has a great sense of smell. There also not a lot of them around. They are born to be alone and unloved. They are lucky if they run across another of their own kind in their lifetime. They also don't go looking for trouble, but if in a pinch, are ferocious fighters. They will also help the meek when in danger, unless it's their prey." Mrs. Figg replied, looking sad about the life of the wolf, and ultimately Harry's.
"W-wow," Harry replied in awe. He also wanted to get away from Mrs. Figg's pitying gaze. It wasn't his fault he was meant to be alone, and he's accepted it, so she should to.
"I, uh, I think I should go. You know a lot of information to digest," Harry gave a nervous chuckle.
"Right dear. Come back tomorrow and Sirius will go through the basics of transforming. Go get some rest." She said in an almost hushed voice, like someone just died.
Harry got up and made his way back to Privet Drive, already coming up with his names for his animagi forms: Blaze, Blitz, and Blizzard: The Killer B's
(AN: How was that. Hopefully good. I still don't know if I should continue with this one, the other one, both, or neither. If you want me to continue, tell me what the name of Athena's [the god] pet owl is. I think its name is Bubo, but not entirely sure. Like the animagus forms? How 'bout their names? I will change their names if you want me to. Anyways, Peace).
