Chapter 10: Full-Moon

1st sun 8th moon 5451st turn 7th age July 16th, 17849bc

Today was the day of the first full moon and neither Harry nor Hermione had mastered the animagus transformation. They had decided to start with their golden gryffin form. They know knew that griffins were to griffins what the drekans where to high dragons and the high dragons to dragons. They were stronger and bigger than griffins, and also had the ability to become invisible and control the weather, they where basically griffins capable of performing magic. And also had a very high intelligence that surpassed that of griffins and even most humans. As powerful as they were, they also happened to be very rare and around three were born every thousand years.

They had chosen to start with this form as it would help them with Remus as it was a very powerful animal and they would be able to control the werewolf easily, even more so than turning into their wolf or grim forms.

Once more Harry concentrated on the golden gryffin form and picturing himself changing in his mind from human to golden gryffin he willed himself to change. Slowly Harry felt the pain building up in his body as he started to change. First his fingers shortened as his hair turned golden and grew shorter and fur started covering the rest of his body. His pupils turned to slits, as his mouth and nose elongated into a snout as his teeth turned into fangs and whiskers sprouted from just behind his nose in his newly formed snout. By this point the pain was incredible and he had already spent close to five minutes in mid-transformation. As he fell into four paws his shoulder blades lifted and feathery golden wings started grow from just under them. As his wings grew in size and muscle each lung connected to his appendix which had grown in size to form a new long whose purpose was to hold helium or hydrogen to enable it to lower its weight and thus be able to fly. On the outside his spinal column elongated to form a tail that became bushy at the tip as most of his organs inside became tougher, stronger and bigger. His bones changed into an organic like eternium and even lighter than the metal.

Harry let out a roar of triumph at finally managing the transformation after the fiftieth time that day and innumerable ones in the last two weeks. Pulling his wings into his back where they practically disappeared Harry attempted to start running around the room, only to fall face first as he was not used to using four paws to walk. While trying to get up all he could hear was the laughter of his three companions, which made hi release a mock angry roar that nevertheless sounded very real to his companions and caused Hermione and Remus to jump while Jasoph remained unaffected. If he could have smirked he would have at seeing the other two jump.

After finally being able to get up, Harry slowly started walking around the room to get used to four paws. Once he was sure of his footing he started running and was thrilled at how exhilarating it felt. Even if his vision was better than ever, his nose could detect smell he had never noticed before and his ears hear the slithering of a snake across the forest floor miles away it didn't matter, because he could sense everything in his vicinity through the subtle changes in air currents. He could even see them through a kind of heat vision. All in all Harry was very impressed with this form and planned on attempting to fly once he got more used to it.

Stopping in front of his friends he gave them a mock growl to which Hermione only giggled at and came forward to pet him. "You know Ree, I think you should stay like that, you make a nice fluffy kitty, I'm sure Crookshanks would love to play with you." Said words caused Harry to glare at her, which caused her to giggle as if she knew what he was trying to do. Picturing himself as a human in his mind Harry started to will himself to change and was glad when it didn't hurt as much and that he took only three minutes to complete the transformation.

"No wonder few people attempt it, that hurt more than Moldyworts' cruciatus curse." Harry said once back in human form. Looking around he noticed that he could not see clearly, so he took of his glasses to clean them and noticed that he could see perfectly without them. To make sure he put them on again and saw everything blurry once more.

"I can see without my glasses! How ca that be?" he asked to no one in particular.

"Don't worry pup, it's only the first few times and it hurts less and less each time and eventually you'll be able to do it instantaneously. But still I must offer my congratulations; you really did break the record as you said." Remus told him while smiling happily and with tears of joy in his eyes because someone would go through so much pain for him.

"Look on the bright side Harry, your other transformations won't hurt as much, nor will they take as long a time since your body will be more used to changing. But allow me to make a suggestion, leave the biggest for last as I'm sure it will hurt a lot even then because of the size. And as for not needing the glasses anymore I'd say it's something to do with the transformation, because one always keeps a part of the transformation even when in your human form, because the animal is as much you as your human form is. So I'd say you kept the eyesight and the senses of the gryffin form." Jasoph said. Once Harry tried to examine it himself he noticed that he indeed did have a better sense of smell and hearing, he could even sense everything like he could in his animagus form and see the heat around him.

"Wicked!" He said in excitement. It was at this moment that Hermione got a good look at his eyes, which made her gasp. At Harry's inquisitive look she conjured a mirror and told him to look at his eyes. Upon seeing his reflection Harry grinned and said, "Bloody Wicked!" For staring back at Harry where not his normal emerald colored eyes but emerald colored cat like eyes, and the looked absolutely cool.

"Well, that's something I didn't foresee happening neither Sirius nor James got any physical change like that, well Padfoot's senses were increased as was Prongs stamina. But I must say the new look suits you." Remus said while looking proudly at Harry.

"Well Nee? It's your turn, I know you can do it, you're the most brilliant person I know!" Harry said addressing Hermione, "And while you do that, I'll be getting more familiar with mine as the full moon comes up in about 12 hours, at 10pm." His mini speech finished Harry decided to turn once more into a golden gryffin and was pleased to see that he did it even faster than before at a bit over two minutes. While in this form he decided to stretch his wings and learn to move them as being able to fly under his own power was something he had always dreamed about, even while in the cupboard under the stairs. At first it proved difficult to as he didn't know exactly how to move them, but accessing the instinctual part of his brain, he learned how to control them until the point that he could not improve without actually flying and as eager as he was to fly he decided to wait until Hermione could transform to try. So with this thought in mind he started transforming into human and back to help the transformation be faster and less painful.

After about half an hour of this he was changing shapes in the blink of an eye and it no longer hurt, in fact all he felt was the warmth of the magic when it transformed him. Deciding to stay in his golden gryffin form for the time being he decided to go over to Hermione and watch her transform. He saw that she was in human form and saw her as she started her transformation. The golden fur covering her body, her eyes changing shape, her spinal cord elongates into a tail, her mouth and nose elongating into a snout, and for some reason he could not understand he was disappointed to see her breasts disappear as her chest changed into the golden gryffin form. At this time he started to smell something that made him to start getting aroused, he was very confused at this sensation that was coming from the instinctual part of the brain. Shaking it off, he looked back at Hermione and saw as the wings grew from her back and she fell to the floor in four paws completely transformed. At that moment the arousal became very strong and one thought came to mind from the instinctual part of his brain. In front of him was a female in heat, and he had to catch her before another came.

Before he realized it he was running to the other side of the room taking anything that was in his way down. He noticed as Jasoph and Remus got up and looked to see what was causing the commotion, at seeing him running like that they where quite confused.

"Ree what's wrong?" He heard Hermione say to him, he understood it even if what he heard was growls, purrs, and meows. Trying to stop himself he over balanced to one side so as to fall on the ground. He succeeded in falling and doing a couple of spins in the floor before standing up again, but this time he was in more control even if the urge to mate had only gotten stronger. "Nee, you are in heat" He forced himself to say while holding himself where he was standing. "Instincts taking over, can't stop myself, can't change back, can't concentrate enough." Harry said and let out a growl of longing that would have had everyone blushing furiously had the other two understood it and he and Hermione capable of blushing.

"You mean you can smell it? Well probably I can smell your arousal over here, this is so fascinating I have never been able to smell so..." She was interrupted as Harry yelled at her "Goddamnit change back! I can't hold myself back forever! Hurry!"

At that moment Harry once more lost control over the instincts that had taken him by surprise before and so taken over. Concentrating very hard Harry used all of his will to change back to human after he had jumped at Hermione. He succeeded in changing mid-flight but could not stop himself from plowing right into Hermione throwing them both into the floor.

Seeing their actions Remus wondered what they were playing at as they both could have gotten seriously hurt with that stunt. Going over to where they where Remus saw Hermione stand up as Harry rolled over to face upwards while still lying down.

"Harry, why did you jump Hermione?" Remus asked the boy and missed the flinch at the word jump. "Didn't mean too. Instincts took over." Harry answered while trying not to make eye contact with Remus. At that moment Hermione finished transforming back into her human form and went over to Harry.

"Are you okay Harry, you didn't hurt yourself did you?" She asked him and then started blushing along with him when he looked her in the eyes. Seeing this Remus couldn't help but smile even if he was still confused. "Would you two care to explain what happened? And why would instincts make you attack a female of your kind, if anything they would make you protect her." Remus said.

"They took me by surprise, so I couldn't control them." Harry answered. "That still doesn't explain why you tried to attack her." Remus said. Blushing furiously Harry said, "I didn't try to harm her, but…er…well…you see….argh….I kinda smelled that she...um…hehe….she's kinda in well….heat." By the time Harry had finished both him and Hermione were blushing so much that they could have been easily mistaken for two stars.

"Oh." Was the not so eloquent reply of Remus as he too started blushing when he understood what Harry had tried to imply. "Um…well I think I should go get lunch started. Yes I think I'll do just that." That said Remus positively fled the room where they were in at the moment.

"Sorry Nee. But it took me by surprise and I couldn't control myself. By the way your eyes look very pretty like they are now, cat-like like mine." He told Hermione once they were alone and once more started blushing. "It's ok Ree, it wasn't your fault, you didn't know, but how are we going to help Remus with this problem?" Hermione answered him with a matching blush.

"Well Nee the only way is to get used to it, so I'm going to transform and walk to the other side of the room, once there you transform, and since this time it will not take me by surprise, I'll be able to hold myself." Harry told her, and at her nod he transformed and they started practicing.

Hours later it was time for the full moon to rise so Harry and Hermione stood there in the golden gryffin forms as Jasoph stood in a feline form that looked very wild and dangerous that he told them was the ancestor of the first humanoids that eventually turned into the Arqans.

At exactly ten pm the full moon rose and Remus began the painful transformation into a werewolf. As they watched they could hear the bones breaking to reform themselves into the wolf form and the screams of pain from Remus. They saw as he was completely covered in fur and then his hands changed into paws as his rear paws broke the boots Remus had been wearing. They saw as a snout elongated on his face and his eyes taken over by the amber color of the wolf inside of Remus. After about two minutes a werewolf was standing in front of them. He let out a howl at the moon and then proceeded to smell all three of them. When it failed to smell a human around Remus was able to gain control as the beast could not go wild.

That was how all four of them found themselves running around the mountain, and in the case of Harry flying once in a while, while vowing to make Hermione try flying at least once. All in all they enjoyed the night playing around and even mock fighting. It was the best full moon Remus had had since Prongs had died and the two of them plus Padfoot had gone around.

When dawn finally came Harry had to carry Remus back into the tent as he had fallen unconscious during the transformation back. With that they all went to bed so they could rest for the full moon that night. And so the pace was set for the next two full moons that night and the next.

AN: Hope you enjoyed this chapter, please RR. And do remember the question of last chapter it will be going until the 23rd when we shall see which character was selected, if any.

Sixteen reviews for last chapter! almost half of all the reviews I've gotten for this story, Thank you! After all it is the greatest gift to an author (even if this is fanfiction, I do have a few of my own that might just get published) to just let him know that you enjoy his writing and to give them constructive criticism. So please do continue with the reviews.

bows "Arigato gozaimatsu"

For those wondering eternium, if they haven't changed the name, is an alloy created a few years ago that is until now virtually indestructible and very light. The only way to change its shape once dry is by melting it in temperatures higher than the sun's core. And once it's solid it becomes stronger the more it is tried to be destroyed. Don't remember the name of the person who made it, but I have but one word for it. Wicked! The only thing that comes to mind to describe it is X-Men's Wolverine's Adamantium. Which is more or less how strong etenium is.

Reviews:

King Dimension – thanks for the review. And I think I agree, easier to post chapter of this size than bigger, not to mention faster which I'm sure a lot of people find as a good thing.

shion20 – once more thanks for the review

Hermy-78 – well I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes the animagus forms do have a purpose but some of them will not be revealed for a long time to come and some of them will not be revealed in this part of the saga. And yes it is indeed HHr but not for some time, Harry is a 'bit' dense when it comes to love , so he will have to get beat into him, literal or not I don't know yet. My muse doesn't seem to want to reveal that information to me yet. And as for your choice it does have good reasoning behind it, and it is in fact the reason I put that pair there, but I won't say any more or my muse would get annoyed and stop revealing things from farther than the next chapter or so. Hope you enjoyed this chapter like the rest.

shdurrani - nice nick. Thanks for the review, and do enjoy the story.

Samantha – the large dragon is something that won't be explained for a long time to come, probably fourth or fifth part of the saga, if not farther. Because at the rate it is going Fall of Atlantis will go through another name change, and this title be left to the second part and Origins of Hogwarts to the third, if my muse doesn't decide to add something else n the middle, which it just might. As for the dragon, while the black is originally mine the gold comes from a saga of books that started in 1964 and is still going strong that I like very much. If you look you might find a clue as to where it comes from, but I have already said too much. And yes I did think adding the bond to those forms would be a nice touch, not to mention that Remus would feel very proud and happiness, which he sorely needs. Once more thanks for another review. Enjoy!

Lord Anime – while I am indeed busy, it would be easy for me to incorporate new characters as other people will appear eventually once they get into civilization. The reason for which I portray some scenes from multiple perspectives is so that you readers know what they are thinking and usually there are some variations to the scene. The only one that was almost exactly alike was when Harry and Hermione found their animagus forms, but that could not be helped and they still where different. Once more I thank you for your review and for your opinion. And hope this helps you understand why I do the scenes from different perspective. Hope you enjoyed this chapter too.

gaul1 – thank you for your review, funny thing got two different reviews from you for the same chapter, lol, while I'm glad that you liked it so much, one review for the chapter would have been enough, but feel fee to send as many as you want.

NessaFefalas – does the nick mean anything? And thank you, but I assure you that you have seen nothing yet, I still have not gotten to my most amazing creatures…grins maniacally…thank you for the review and hope you enjoy this character. warra – I'm glad you enjoy it, and as for the size of chapters unless a lot of people tell me to make them bigger they will stay mostly the same size, but that depends as some chapters come out at three pages and others at eight, and I'm sure some will be longer than that even without trying. I thank you for the review, and hope you enjoyed this chapter. Jessica – yes Neville does indeed has the same background, but I am sure that if he got it into himself he could be very great as he proved in OotP, while in the department of mysteries. All he needs is a bit of confidence. As for Gred and Forge (insert insane evil laughter of choice here). Need I say more? Thank you for the review and hope you continue to enjoy the story.
