With the amount of chaos that they had all been through they didn't
waste time panicking, they all almost in unity grabbed there wands and
aimed them, read to cast. Moments after Hermione drew her wand, she
apparated. Everyone was shocked, but they didn't have time to contemplate.
"Ah, figures, the mud-blood runs, that's what you four should have done as well." Lucious grinned. With no warning, Ginny apparated as well.
"Fours a charm isn't it Moony" Sirius said happily.
"Sure is Pad foot", Remus agreed.
"Majora day-gadum" Harry shouted coolly, with this he picked up an unknown death eater , and following the motions of his wands, slammed on the ground over and over again for about 15 seconds, very hard. Seven more death eaters appeared, then out of know where, Lucious' head disappeared all together, and then Bellatrix was hit by a bat-bogey hex. Sirius gave a large laugh but this was snuffed when he was hit by a stunning spell which sent him flying back, in turn, Harry cast something back at the sender.
"Insci severus!" he shouted calmly, with that, the death eaters ribbons were torn to ribbons, leaving him with about ten very deep wounds.
From the window of the manor, where Ginny and Hermione were casting spells from, Hermione saw this and was amazed "That's ancient magic Ginny!" she gasped.
"Stupefy!" Ron shouted, a brilliant streak of red flew out of his wand sending Bellatrix into the tree she stepped from. Malfoy's body still walked around seeming quite confused.
"Binkinus Aparati" Harry said annoyingly calm, but with those words, all of a sudden, 3 death eaters disapparated with a loud crack, there were only a few left standing, one of which was headless.
"Remidus buscaste" Sirius said, wand pointing at a very upset Bellatrix Lestrange.
"Ahhh!" she shrieked
"Some one help me!!" She cried.
"Illusion spell haha" Sirius laughed triumphantly. Finally, Lucious' head reappeared. Before he had time to cast a spell, Harry got him first.
"Majora day-gadum" He said again, this time instead of slamming on to the ground, Harry gave a flick of his wand, sending Lucious flying at least a mile into the horizon, with that, all death eaters were unconscious, too wounded to fight, or Bellatrixes situation, terrified and huddled under the tree wimpering. Harry then cast a spell, gathering them al around, and tying them up with a thick rope that came out of no where.
"Take their wands and burn them." Harry said looking out at the horizon where he'd thrown Lucious.
1 Hour later
"Where-what-Professor?" Harry mumbled waking from his sleep to see Remus and Sirius sitting around him.
"Hello, Harry." Remus said.
"That was some ancient, advanced magic you did today, Harry." Sirius noted.
"What are you talking about? All I did was bewitch some pine cones, you did it to, we learned that spell first year!" Harry protested, not understanding when he went to bed but that was beside the point.
"We're talking about the fight today, Harry, with the death eaters." Remus said pacing the room.
"What death eaters who? Oh my god I remember! And the bodies of those muggles hanging from the tree it was horrible, I-I don't remember what happened after that though." Harry said trying to rack his brain to anything after Seeing Lucious and Bellatrix step from behind the old tree. Nothing. Not a thing came to mind.
"You...don't remember anything from today?" Sirius asked.
"Well, I remember seeing Bellatrix and Malfoy come from behind the tree, and then..." Harry choked still racking his brain.
"Okay Harry, we believe you, I think you have some toher visitors" Sirius grinned while he opened the door through which Hermione, Ron, and Ginny collapsed.
"Well, then, we'll leave ya to it" and with that Remus and Sirius made the exit.
"Harry, that was amazing! Those were very complex spells!" Hermione urged.
"You kicked some ass Harry!" Ron said enthusiastically.
"Do you really not remember any of it Harry?" Ginny asked.
"Yes! I thought it Voldemort could be possessing me but today, why would he possess me and kick the life out his beloved followers? Wouldn't he have rather had me curse you guys?" He said searching their faces for answers.
"Where did you guys go during the fight, I remember you two apparating?" Harry said thankful for remembering something.
"Well, I apparated to the manor, so I could cast spells on them and they wouldn't know what was happening, and then Ginny apparated after me."
"You remember the prize I got from the first race in class?" Ginny asked. They nodded.
"The prize was she told me how to apparate after some one by finding their magical signature, every wizard has their own and it is unique from one another's. I searched for Hermione's because I was curious where she had run, it wasn't like her to shy away, but when I found her signal it made sense, so I went with her, I guess you could call this a really blunt legillamency skill, Brianna said she'd teach us all at the end, but I got it earliest." Ginny said in one breath, and by the end of this breath she seemed like she was going to have a stroke. After about an half an hour more of talking, Ron and Harry left the room to Ron's room.
"Let's look at what we do next for the animagus book we have" Ron explained.
'Now that you have identified your animal, you must do research upon it, it's bodily structure, everything about it, also, you must research abit about the human bodily system, this is very important, if you do not know enough about the animal you are transforming into, or enough about the body of yours that you'll be going back to, their could be fatal errors' the book said.
"Aww" Ron groaned.
"More reading" Harry groaned and laughed a bit as well.
"Well, let's see what we do after that part" Ron said obviously wanting to skip over the reading bit.
'When you've fisnished your research, you must then cast a spell that will create your animal, only it will be in a patronus like form, you must let it get used to you, you cannot instantly control your animal, you must let it know you, in time, you will gain control of it.'
"That's not too bad", Ron shrugged. Below that paragraph it showed spells how to create, and make your animal disappear, Harry figured this would be pretty important. Ron flipped to the back to find charts and paragraphs of the need information of almost every animal.
"They don't have a phoenix in here Harry!" Ron said gleefully.
"And that's a...good thing?" Harry asked in confused tone.
"That means there so rare Fred and George wouldn't put it into a book because they figured no one would be one!" Ron said in a joyous tone.
Over the next week, all Ron and Harry did was read up on their animals, and go to 1 more apparation class, and then they had their test their scores were as follows: Ginny-98%, Harry-91%. Ron-90%, and finally, Hermione-83%. Hermione was quite pouty over this. She tried to hide it, act like she was okay with getting the lowest score, but sometimes out of the corner of their eyes, they could see Hermione glaring at Ron. After their last class Harry had apparated to Flourish and Blot's and picked up a scientific book on the anatomy of a phoenix for Ron. Until the day they had to pack Ron and Harry studied these books more than any class they'd ever taken, Hermione was surprised that she hadn't even been reading lately, but the two of them had barely seen the light of day, after 8 days of reading, Ron had created 1 wolf, with phoenix wings, and a phoenix with a wolf snout and tail, and finally, the day before they had to go to kings cross, Ron had created both his wolf and his phoenix perfectly.
"Harry! Harry look!" Harry looked up form his book to see a white wolf, with no markings, and beautiful phoenix.
"Wow Ron, that's amazing!" Harry said encouragingly.
"Now try and pet your wolf, let it, I guess sniff you." Harry suggested. Ron looked almost as white as his wolfs fur as he approached it with an out stretched, trembling hand. At first, the wolf bared its fangs, but as Ron got a bit closer, the wolf warmed up a bit and let Ron touch it.
"I forgot! It's in patronus form, it's no solid, Ron said, all of a sudden, more comfortable with the wolf, then he began stroking the phoenix from it's neck down its spine gently. After a few more minutes marveling over the animals, Harry tried, this was the first time he did it in front of Ron, when Ron was sleeping, Harry tried it a few times, scared of embarrassing him self, and making a lion with antlers in fornt of Ron, which is exactly what happened, only Ron was in a deep sleep and had know idea. Harry took in a deep breath, and cast the spell, and like Ron, he had created two perfect animals, his lion, and his stag. Immediately, the lion ran towards Harry and settled itself next to him as if protecting him, and the stag was a bit more apprehensive, before Harry could continue, Hermione opened the door, interrupting him.
"Hermione, close the door!" Ron urged tipping his head to check if one was there.
"What are you two-, Ah! It's a lion can't you see.!" Hermione yelped, to full of fear to scream.
"It's ok Hermione, it's patronus form, it's not solid, look!" Harry laughed and made his beautiful animals disappear.
"If you two don't start explaining, right now, I'm going straight to Mrs. Weasley. In fear of the wrath of Mrs. Weasley, they gave in, explaining everything.
"That's very dangerous! You could get seriously hurt, but on the other hand, no offense Ron, but, Fred and George are not as good at magic as Harry is, so I suppose, if they can do it fine with out killing them selves. What are you two any way, I guess Harry's a lion, judging form his projection, so what are-,"
"I'm also a stag Hermione" Harry interrupted, knowing Hermione would be amazed.
"Harry! You can change into two animals! Only 10 people can do that Harry, icluding you!" Hermione gasped.
"Actually, there's 11" Ron smiled hinting himself.
"Who?" Hermione said dumbly.
"Professor McGonagall said in transfiguration that only 9 living people could apparate and-,"
"Me you twit, I can do it too!" Ron said cutting her off, offended she wouldn't put two and two together.
"Ron that's incredible!" Hermione said approvingly.
"What are you?" She asked curiously.
"I'm an arctic wolf...and a PHOENIX" He said loudly.
"Ron! No one has been a phoenix...ever I think!" Hermione said completely over whelmed.
"Well, can I see what I would be as well?" Hermione said meekly.
"Of course, just don't tell any one about it due to Fred and Georges, 'delicate situation'." With that they taught her the spell, and a small cloud of smoke flowed out of the tip of her wand and she went into the same trance like Harry and Ron and with in moments she snapped out of it.
"I'm a-,"
"We have to go! We're late! Hermione, you were supposed to be getting these two, not stalling them let's go! We'll miss the train!" Mrs. Weasley said in a hurry.
"I'll tell you on the train" She whispered with a grin as she skipped out of the room. When Ron and Harry arrived down stairs they were greeted by Moody, Tonks, Sirius, Remus, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
"Okay Harry, you will be going with me and Sirius" Moody said in a lightest tone he'd ever heard Moody use. "Ron and Ginny, you'll be going with your mother and Tonks. Hermione; you will be going with me" Remus said happily. Everything from the time they left to the time they left to the time they arrived being perfectly safe. When they finished with all their goodbyes, and a very long hug between Sirius and Harry and Sirius said with a wink,
"See you soon, Harry", it was weird, he was not the only one who said that to him today.
As they all boarded the train, Ron and Harry could not wait to here what Hermione had to say. When they arrived at their normal compartments, Neville, Luna, Seamus, and Dean were already in deep conversation about the O.W.L. scores and their apparation scores, before Harry and the rest had a chance to sit down, the room swarmed with Slytherins.
"A message from my father Potter" Draco spat sending Harry flying into the wall. Quickly Neville rose to the occasion before anyone else, with his wand.
"A message from everyone who thinks your family is a bunch of pussy prats" Neville said, trying to hide his joy. With that he shouted "Gelatinous cuerpo!" With that everything from Malfoy's neck down oozed into jello and the only thing that was solid was his head.
"You'll pay for that Longbottom, you'll pay." Draco said as Crabbe and Goyle picked him up with great difficulty.
"Anyone else?" Neville asked he said turning to all the Slytherins in the room, with that, they almost stampeded out.
"Neville, that was amazing! I've never seen you do anything like that!" Ron said obviously impressed.
"Well, I broke the wand I'd been using before at the department of mysteries, and I finally got my own as opposed to my dad's wand, I've been able to cast things I never had before its great!" Neville said happily. They all exchanged turns congratulating him and giving him a pat on the back before rain started pouring though the window that Harry's flying torso broke. With a quick fix spell from Hermione, she, Ron, and Harry, all huddled together to discuss her animal.
"I'm a..."

"Ah, figures, the mud-blood runs, that's what you four should have done as well." Lucious grinned. With no warning, Ginny apparated as well.
