Chapter 3: Training Intensifies
Seeing the shock on Harry's face Maxwell had let him go to bed early. But that was two days ago, another surprising thing had happened since then, Harry had looked in the mirror the morning after (Maxwell said he would be training from 06:00 till 21:00) and had seen, instead of the black lion, a phoenix with a plumage of red and gold feathers with emerald green eyes. When Harry said that he had seen a phoenix this time instead of a lion Maxwell looked as surprised as Harry had when he had seen the colour of Maxwell's hair, but he quickly hid his surprise and his face, once again, became a place of no emotion. He explained to Harry that he could turn into more than one animal; (in Harry's case two animals) he was a numagus and that once he mastered one of his numagus forms he could turn in to any of them at will.
When he had seen this he had also intensified his training by adding another hour to Harry's routine. (It now became 06:00 until 22:00) But to Harry's benefit he had learnt to transfigure everywhere but his head into the black lion ( he had chosen the lion because it was roughly the same size as him the phoenix was smaller and would of added hours to his training).
Maxwell said if he could master transfiguring his head by 09:00 he would be given a break until 13:00 in which he could do anything he wanted to do except leave the small castle and send letters to his friends. At that point he had wondered what he would tell Ron, Hermione, Sirius and Dumbledore.
That morning he had finally transfigured his head and was given the, well earned he thought, break. But before he left he had asked when he would learn to turn into the phoenix and Maxwell said
"Think of the phoenix you saw in the mirror and imagine yourself turning into it" So he had tried and had found himself not a human but a phoenix.
In the time he had been given to roam the castle he had found out that it had six floors and he had spent the whole time investigating the six floors using both his lion and phoenix numagus form. Four hours later he had been called by Max to continue his training.
The next stage of his training, to his surprise, was to learn six different types of martial arts. Max had explained that he would need to be able to fight if he was disarmed. They had started off with basic fighting stances and by the end of the day had finished intermediate defensive techniques.
When Harry had gone up to his room he didn't change he just fell asleep straight away having had the feeling that tomorrow was going to be more tiresome than today.
He was right. Instead of moving on to advanced defensive techniques they were going to start offensive techniques. At 20:00 Harry had been taught everything Maxwell knew about the Martial Arts and Max said
"Boy you're a quick learner"
Then after that Max said he was going to teach him to mix his numagus animal forms reflexes with his human reflexes. Harry asked if this would help him dodge curses and charms and duelling. And Max replied.
"One of the many things it will help you improve at,"
Once he had mixed his animal reflexes with his human reflexes he felt very alert and found that he couldn't see properly so he took his glasses off and found that he could see better than he had been able to do since before needed glasses. He realized that he had received lion and phoenix sense of smell, eyesight and hearing.
"Night Max" Harry said and was out of the room before Max could reply.
