Chapter 18
Days after the botched attack on Hogsmeade Harry was in his common going over his long list of spells. "Hey Harry, what do you have there?" Hermione asked.
"Just a list of advance spells I thought would be easy to teach," Harry said, not looking up.
"What do you mean ''teach'?" Hermione asked as Harry looked up at her.
"I want to restart the DA. Want to help? I've almost got my lesson plan halfway done and it should be ready by the end of this week," Harry said as Hermione's eyes went wide..
"Will you be teaching the spells from your library?" she asked as Harry nodded. "Well I'm in. Let's see what you have." They spent the entire morning working on the lesson plan and only stopped to eat breakfast.
That same day Harry had only one class, Divination, which ended before lunch. Once Harry finish eating he went to his library then he went to finish his lessen plan. When he was done he apparated to Dumbledore's office door where he was called in.
Once inside Dumbledore greeted Harry. "So what can I do for you Harry?" Dumbledore asked pleasantly as Harry sat down.
"Sir, during my free time I been working on a lesson plan for the DA and I wanted to ask to reinstate it," Harry said hopefully.
"My I see the lesson plan?" Dumbledore asked as Harry handed it over. "Not bad Harry, many of these spells will be useful, but are you sure the DA can handle using them?"
"I'm pretty sure if I separate the one's who are best at defense spells and those who are best at offensive spells, I could just teach them the spells they are best at. Of course those who is good at both will be taught both types of spells," Harry stated and Dumbledore nodded.
"It looks like you have it all planned out. From what I observed last year you will do a good job. I will allow the DA meetings to continue, you have my blessing," Dumbledore said pleasantly as he handed the lesson plan back.
Once the plan was back in his hands Harry asked, "Can I teach advanced apparition?"
"That I'm not sure of. You know the dangers of apparating," Dumbledore said warningly.
"Yes I do, but the way I was taught had no dangers and I did it on my first try," Harry said proudly.
"I am still not sure, but if you pick two of the best students and train them without problems I will make a decision," Dumbledore said.
"Alright, I chose Ron and Hermione, I'm pretty sure they can," Harry said and Dumbledore nodded.
As Harry sat there he decided on one last favor. "One last thing, I was given a special animagus potion that would instantly turn a person into a Multi-Animagus like myself, and I only have enough for four. Can I give them to Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Remus?"
Dumbledore thought for a minute. "Yes, only if they get themselves registered, but why Remus?"
Harry grinned. "Merlin told me if a werewolf becomes an Animagus he or she will still have their mind during the full moon if they turn into a ordinary wolf just before the full moon."
Dumbledore nodded. "Yes, that will make Remus very happy. Can you make more potions?"
"Actually no, the ingredients are very rare, and Merlin only could make enough for five, and of course I took the first one."
Dumbledore nodded. "Then if that is all, I need to do some things."
"Yes I believe that is all I wanted, I will plan later for the apparition tests," Harry said before apparating away.
Later that day, with the help of Hedwig, Harry had met up with the DA. "Good to see you all," Harry said, greeting each member. "Now to let you all know, Professor Dumbledore is allowing the DA to meet this year. Meetings will be held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, eight till nine, and on Saturday and Sunday, which will be at whatever time we chose."
After a successful meeting, almost all learned to do the spell Harry taught them well, they all separated. The members couldn't wait to meet again on Wednesday.
Once the meeting was over Harry had Hermione, Ron and Ginny walk with him to his room where Remus and Sirius were waiting. "Alright Harry, why are we all here?" Sirius asked.
"Everyone please sit down while I get something," Harry said and went into a secret drawer, and pulled out four viles with a warm greenish liquid inside that looked like it was just made. "Merlin was right, the spell kept them the same way it was when it was first cast" Harry thought as he turn to his friends.
Harry looked at his friends. " Ginny, please come here."
Ginny was startled but went up to Harry and he cast a wandless spell, and surprised everyone when a image of a beautiful white swan appeared before her. "Ginny, that is your animagus form, would you like to be a one?"
Ginny stared at the swan for a minute then turned to Harry. "Yes, can I really?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes, you can. But I need to tell you, Ron, Hermione and Remus, this potion will automatically turn you into an animagus, but not just an animagus, a multi animagus like myself."
Everyone looked at Harry. "Are you serious?" they asked together and Harry nodded.
"Remus, when you become an animagus you can turn into a wolf that you can control during a full moon, so no more potions."
Remus' eyes grew wide. "Thank you" was all Remus could say.
"Now let me warn you all, you all know what your original forms are, but you get to choose the second one, but once you choose it there is no turning back," they all nodded.
"Hey what about me?" Sirius asked.
"Sorry, I only have only enough for four people, and I thought you want to know what was happening. Anyway, you are already an Animagus, this potion wont work for you." Sirius nodded. "Now, the third form is a hybrid of the two. Sometimes the two forms cannot be mixed, just to warn you all."
They nodded and took a vile each and with a cheer, after deciding on the second form, they drank the potion. Ron chose a panther, Hermione a lion, Ginny a snow leopard and Remus a falcon.
The potion took effect the second the vile was emptied. They instantly transformed to one and then the other form. Once back to human form they thanked Harry for this gift. "No thanks are needed, but you do need to register, Professor Dumbledore made me promise that you guys would. For your third form, you need to design it and then focus on that picture. So good luck, I will be in the library if you need anything, and also I need to see about your advance apparition practice for Hermione and Ron, that would be for later," Harry hinted and quickly left as Ron and Hermione eyes grew wide.
The rest of the DA meetings went well, and by the end of the week many of the DA members had learned a good deal of the spells, and as for Hermione and Ron, they were able to learn quickly to apparate, and soon could do advanced apparition. Dumbledore, who watched the advanced lessons, was able to learn to do advanced apparation. By Sunday they all could apparate in Hogwarts. Dumbledore gave Harry permission to teach advanced apparation to two more students. Harry choose to teach Ginny and Neville.
