Chapter 3

Practising

Harry woke up at six A.M., once again from a dreamless sleep. It reminded him of when he took Dr. Ubbly's Oblivious Unction after the Department of Mysteries. He decided that this was better.

After getting dressed he decided to eat in the practice room so he walked up there. Upon arrival he got himself breakfast.

Conjurus scrambled eggs and bacon, Harry said. And once again out of nowhere came what he commanded.

When he was finished he took out McGonagall's instructions.

1. Decide on three animals and put them in order.

"Okay," Harry thought, "Uuuummmm, Hebridean Black, wait I wouldn't be able to fit anywhere soÉ a midget Hebridean Black. Hmmmm, bald eagle, and aÉ tiger. No wait a wolf, yeah a wolf.

2. Having your number one choice in mind, take your wand, tap your hand twice and say the name of the animal. If you don't feel a tingling sensation by the third try then this is not your animal. When you feel the tingling sensation go on to step three.

3. Do the same thing as you did in step two but say Animangilens before the name of the animal. When you do this your hand should transfigure into the wing, claw or paw of your animal. The first couple of times it will not usually transfigure perfectly. If it does not transfigure at all you did not feel the tingling sensation before, but were just itchy. When it does transfigure correctly you will be quite tired and I would recommend an hour of sleep.

So Harry took out his wand and picturing a Hebridean Black he exclaimed "One, Two, Hebridean Black!" Nothing.

"One, Two, Hebridean Black." he said again. Nothing.

"One, Two, Hebridean Black." Nothing. "Oh well," Harry said, "On to the Bald Eagle. One, Two, Bald Eagle." Nothing.

"One, Two, Bald Eagle. Harry jumped in surprise. "I felt something," Harry yelled, " I'm a bald eagle. Okay on to step three. One, Two, Animangilens Bald Eagle. His hand melted, or so it looked like to him, into the tip of a bald eagle's wing.

"Wow this feels weird!" Harry exclaimed, "I wonder why it worked the first time? I'm not tired either.

4. Now that your hand is the tip of the wing/paw/claw of your animal do step three on your elbow to turn your whole arm into the animal's.

So Harry did just that and once again he turned partially into and eagle on the first try.

5. Now do step three on all your body parts but your wand arm.

"Alright left leg first. No never mind if I do that I'll crush my legs so I'll do my torso first. One, Two, Animangilens bald eagle." Harry's body melted into that of a bald eagle's.

"I wonder what I look like," Harry thought once the shock of feeling like a bald eagle with the head legs and one arm of a human had worn off.

"On to my lower half. One, Two, Animangilens Bald Eagle," Harry said tapping his waistline. Harry looked down to see the complete body of a bald eagle with one human arm.

"Now for my head. One, Two, Animangilens Bald Eagle. Suddenly Harry's vision was blurred until he took his glasses off. When he did this his vision was more than ten times better than any human not just him. He could see an ant across the room like it was right next to him.

6. To transfigure your wand arm tap it with your other wing, claw or paw and say the incantation in your head.

So Harry did. He was now a bald eagle.

7. To change back to a human say the incantation with human in front of it inside your head and vise-versa

"Before I do that step I want to take a flight around the room to get used to my wings.

So Harry took off. He felt a bit awkward on the first lap around the room but as he went on he felt more comfortable and felt like he was using less energy.

When Harry finally came down he was quite tired out. He said the incantation in his head and turned back into a human. He looked around and could still see perfectly without his glasses.

"WHAT?" he screamed.

"This is unbelievable," he thought, "My bald eagleness if that's a word must have fixed my eyes.

He took his glasses and popped the glass out, he put new glass in with no prescription. When he did go to the new headquarters he didn't want to show up with no glasses because he didn't know how much Dumbledore had told them about the practising situation and didn't want any funny questions.

"Why was I able to do it in one day?" Harry thought as he walked to his room. When he walked into his room he found Hedwig with Dumbledore's reply. Harry opened it and read:

Harry,

I got your letter and would have been happy to do what you asked but there is no need because there is a new Headquarters now and it already has exactly what you asked for and more. An advanced guard will be sent in ten days to take you there. I will see you then, keep on practising.

Professor Dumbledore

"That's odd. Why isn't he using # 12 Grimmauld Place anymore?" Harry pondered aloud while writing his return letter:

Professor,

Okay. Thanks.

Harry

When he couldn't come up with a reason he decided to sleep on it.

Over the next week Harry continued to practice. He reviewed all of the spells he knew making sure he could do it perfectly every time.

Harry also practiced more transfiguration. He learned how to make two things one bigger one. For example take two tables and make them one large table. He also learned how to do the opposite of that. His biggest feat of all in transfiguration was learning how to do wordless transfiguring and conjuring.

Charms were what Harry practiced most though. He worked on all the charms that would help him and his companions during a battle or otherwise. He learned the Disillusionment Charm that Mad-Eye used on him last year. He also learned strengthening charms and reviving charms. But the best charm that Harry learned was a stronger shield charm. This shield stays around you and blocks most curses spells and jinxes.

On the tenth day Harry was practising the spell that Anotonin Dolhov had used on Hermione. He had found it while skimming through Self-Defensive Spellworks. He was surprised when he saw it because he had reckoned that it was dark arts.

After five tries Harry finally got the incantation pronounced right. He put that together with the wand motion and watched as the Malfoy manikin fell down gripping his chest.

Harry had found a charm that made fake things act real when hit with a spell.

Harry was about to try the spell again when a voice came from behind him, "Hello Harry
