Disclaimer: If you believe that I own Harry Potter you have more problems than I do. And that's saying something. All I own is my plot. Characters, spells and probably everything else you don't recognize, even the languages I invented.
AN: Sorry for the delay but I have another question for you, please answer it in the reviews, (but do review the fic at the same time) do you want chapters to stay at this size or do you want bigger chapters, but if you want the bigger chapters, it will take me longer to post, I'll probably post then about once a week.

Chapter 9: Animagi
When he finally opened his eyes, he was very confused at what had happened, he wondered why'd he'd seen all those animals instead of his animagus form, after all he knew it was impossible to have more than one animagus form and all of his forms had been magical and one could not be a magical animagi. Looking around he saw Hermione opening her eyes and Jasoph at the end of the table with a very wide smirk on his face. Not seeing Remus anywhere he decided to ask Jasoph, "Where's Remus?" with this question Jasoph's smirk became wider and he just pointed at the floor on the other side of the table from where he was.
Looking where Jasoph had pointed Harry found Remus unconscious on the floor. Confused he took out his wand and muttered an enervate charm. Remus at once opened his eyes very wide and shouted, "How the hell is it bloody possible. It isn't possible." Now Harry was even more confused, he looked over at Hermione and saw that she shared his confusion and looking at Jasoph only revealed him to be holding in laughter.
"Um…Remus, what isn't possible?" Hermione asked him before Harry could. Looking at them both Remus opened his mouth as if to talk only to close it again. Looking at them again he once again opened his mouth and said, "Both of you have more than one form, a lot more, I didn't count but there were a few of them." Harry and Hermione where now confused, how did Remus know they had more than one? And hadn't he said it was impossible to have more than one…but then again he was Harry Potter and thrived on the impossible.
"You have anywhere from nine to thirteen, but it depends, I think you have two shapeshifting forms, the first and the third." Jasoph said with amusement clear in his eyes. And when he saw Remus open his mouth to say something he intercepted and said before Remus could, "And Yes Remus, one can have more than one form, it's called being a multianmagus, and while they are rare, it is not impossible, in fact it is quite common in this times to have more than one form, though the most I've ever heard of was having 4 forms. But I guess when Harry decided to break the record he really wasn't kidding." He finished with a bit of humor at the end.
"But no one has ever had more than one form in recorded history, wouldn't someone had done it and the record still in existence in our time?" Remus asked him clearly bewildered. "Maybe no one has done it in a long time in your time, from what you told us about your two friends they got themselves out of the trance as soon as they saw their form, who's to say they didn't have others?" Jasoph answered him. "Well it is possible after all we didn't read anywhere about the shadows changing shape, and even after we saw them we didn't find anything saying that it happened." Remus said.
"So that's how you knew how many forms we have!" Hermione said. "Indeed, and most surprising of all, all of your forms are identical except for the last one." Remus added. "Why would that be?" Asked Harry curiously. "It is probably due to the fact that from what I can tell both of you have shared many experiences together and have a very close bond, due to this and your qualities is that you have the added animals, if I am not mistaken your final and different animal would have been your original and unique one, among the others some of them are probably originally from just one of you but doe to experiences you now share them. If you can tell me your animals I can most likely tell you from who it came." Jasoph answered him.
Looking at Hermione and seeing that she was processing all Jasoph had said Harry decided to list his animals. "Well first of all there was the Phoenix, bigger than Fawkes by about half as much its colors were different though it started with white in the middle, the feathers slowly turned blue, then orange, red and finally they ended in black at the tip of the wings and in the tail, it's eyes were the same as mine. What was strange though was that at one point as I was looking at it, it burst into flames and in its place was what looked like a man with the wings of the Phoenix, only bigger of course. I could not get anymore details because it changed back to the original form before I could."
"Mine was the same except that the tips where gold instead of black and think that in human form it should have looked like you, because mine did look like me." Hermione added to what Harry had said.
"Interesting, this means that the phoenix is an original form for both of you as that form is not just a phoenix, but a Phoenix Lord, and those are humans that can take the form of a phoenix and have all their powers even while human. And it's a part of you something you're born with. You would have eventually discovered it even if you had not gone animagus training. But this is rare indeed for two to be born at the same time, you must be great indeed." Jasoph said with admiration in his voice.
"Before Nee tries to ask you all about them I'll continue with the animals." As Harry said this he shot a playful grin at Hermione when she mock glared at him. Continuing he added, "The next was a lion a very big lion from what I could tell and it had wings, I had never seen anything like it. It started golden but it changed colors to black, white and then turned invisible before reappearing again."
"That is no lion but a Golden Griffin, very rare it comes from a lion breeding with a griffin, and a very powerful one at that if it can change the shade of its fur and turn invisible. It has a high capacity for magic; it might even be able to control the weather as the Gryffins can. In fact it might actually be a Golden Gryffin, instead of a Golden Griffin., but I'm not sure we'll have to wait and see. This one I think is originally one of Harry's, I don't know why but I think it has something to do with his ancestry." Stopping for a bit and looking at both teenagers he continued, "Next animal?"
"Next one was really strange it was a wolf, but like the phoenix it also changed form, three times. The first form it changed to was kind of humanoid but it still had the claws, fur, ears, tail, muzzle, it had everything only it was a humanoid shape around seven feet tall. The second form was slightly smaller at around six and a half and this one looked far more human except it still kept the claws, fangs, tail and ears of the wolf, the rest looked human, and almost exactly like me, only no scar. Then it turned back to its original form." Harry said.
"An Akerian wolf, but those are nothing but myth." Remus said in awe of this creature. "Not a myth, I wouldn't say there are a lot of them but there are at least 40 clans of them around the world, and if you have myths of them I'm quite sure they're still around but well hidden, because from what you tell me of your government I don't think they would be liked a lot. The Akerian wolfs are very strong, almost superhumanly strong, but they are very loyal creatures and would protect their own to their dying breath, while not very trustworthy, if you gain their trust, you'll have a friend for the rest of your days. If I'm not mistaken this one could also be from both of you and probably arouse from your desire to help and protect Remus, and as he is a werewolf. What better shape than another wolf? It is an admirable sentiment from both of you." Jasoph said, and watched as Remus blushed at the sentiments from his two friends.
"Next one was a very easy to recognize, it was the grim, same as I met in my third year, only it too could change color, only it could change to white only." Harry said with a sad look at the remembrance of his godfather.
"But grims are only black, they can't turn white." Remus said, and looked at Jasoph for confirmation and saw shock in his eyes. "A Light Grim, I thought they were myths, my mother told me about them, but I never thought they were real. It seems that both of you had both forms of the grim and instead of it being displayed as to animals it is a single one able to change its fur color. As you probably know the grims are harbingers or death and supposedly bring bad luck. Of course I don't believe any of that. As for the light grim, it is the exact opposite of the normal grim. This one is also probably from both of you and comes from the time in your third year when you both risked everything to save Harry's godfather, who had the grim animagus. By saving him you created the bond that gave you this form, and as for the light grim it's because the bond was formed to save the life of an innocent." Jasoph told the other three.
"The next one is a stag, probably a doe for Nee." Looking at her for confirmation and seeing her nod, he continued, "I know this one probably comes from my father's animagus form and the connection he forged between us by dying to safe me."
"You are likely right, and for Hermione to have it, you must be very close indeed." Jasoph said and grinned when they both blushed.
"Next was an owl, an Atinean owl from Remus description, but can they grow and decrease their size? No insult meant, but Remus didn't say they could." Harry said with a bit of confusion and making sure he had not hurt Remus. "No harm done, pup. I didn't know that part."
"Yes it is indeed an Atinean owl, this one comes from Hermione and her studios habits, and probably her connection with Arith. I am not surprised you did not know about the size changing abilities, because if as you say they are extinct in your time then this ability that few know of in this time when they are quite common, would be inexistent in yours."
"The next was a very large Black serpent, second biggest I've ever seen, but this is probably because it was me and I'm only fifteen, well almost sixteen but that's beside the point. The only biggest I've ever seen was the thousand year old basilisk I killed in the Chamber of Secrets when I was twelve. Unlike that one, this one was a King Basilisk if her color is anything to go by." Harry said and looked at Hermione to see what hers looked liked. "Well mine was golden and so probably a queen basilisk, but at least it was smaller than the one that petrified me." Hermione added.
"Hmm…quite impressive to kill a basilisk at such a young age, especially one that old, I have never herd of a basilisk reaching such an age without being killed, but I'm sure there have to be some out there. This one could come from both of you or Harry. If I'm correct you would both have had a basilisk as your animagus due to your meeting and surviving that meeting with one, but now because of Harry's bond with Sarina, they have changed to queen and king basilisks respectively."
"The next one is a very large black dragon but that's about all I can tell you since it was massive around 1200 feet in wingspan if not more, and it was even longer. I have never seen or heard of such a dragon before." Harry said and once more looked at Hermione. "Mine was gold and huge, get the feeling that it was even bigger than Harry's"
"Damn, you got me there, never heard of such a dragon; it's bigger than the High Dragons and the Ancient Drekans. I mean I am a High Dragon descended from the Drekans and my wingspan is a little over 300 feet. And I do not know where your connection to these dragons comes from, they are simply unheard of." Jasoph said clearly confused and a bit jealous of the size of those dragons, when compared to his own, which he had considered extremely big, compared to the other dragons he'd seen.
"And the last one is the one that is different for both of us, mine was a winged snow leopard, but what I find even stranger than the wings was when it made the ground lift up and then formed ice on its feet."
"Mine was a small fox, and like Harry's snow leopard it too did strange things, first it caused a wind to erupt and then it lighted it's paws on fire and started running in the air."
"Control over the elements. Earth and water, thus the ice, it had both elements because neither earth nor water can exist without the other in nature. The same for air and fire, fire needs air to exist, if there's no air there is no fire. As for the wings that I cannot say as I have never heard of such a creature." Jasoph said with a pensive look.
"Well now that we all know the animals, you must choose one of them. Bring it forth in your mind, focus on it, examine it to its minor details and then you must will yourself to be it. You must know that you are it and that you want to have that physical form. But you must know that it will be very painful the first few ties you change into each animal as both your body and magic get used to the change and the new form. Now you must remember not to get exasperated as you will not be able to transform completely for a while. I'd be extremely amazed if you managed to master even one of the forms before the full moon. But before you try for the first time let's eat some lunch." Remus said and then proceeded to conjure their lunch.
AN: Sorry for the massive delay in updates. Due to university, tests, and work among other things I've been unable to work much, but here is the completely revised story. I have also changed the title from Origins of Hogwarts to the Fall of Atlantis since when I made a plot guide I noticed that the story would be very long indeed. And so I have made this the first part of the saga and Origins of Hogwarts will be the second.
And now I would like to ask question. I don't know if I should bring more people from the future so tell me if you want me too and who to bring your choices are either the Wesley twins, Neville and Ginny, or Tonks and Luna one of those three pairs, you chouse which one and if it comes. Either email me or do the poll in my yahoo group or review me your choice.
As for those of you wondering the golden griffin I got from Barbs stories, well got the part as to how it's born the powers I invented.
And yes there is a big difference between griffins and gryffins (it's pronounced differently, but I don't know how to show the different pronunciation in paper so don't ask). The difference will be explained at a later chapter, but you should be able to infer some from this one.
As for the dragons the black one has a wingspan of exactly 1157 ft and 1in the gold one 1207 ft and 1in. and they are both over one mile long.
