I was only ten, but Dumbledore made an exception do to my birthday being less than four weeks after the first day of the first term. As I walked through Diagon Alley, I noticed that I had forgotten to get a wand. I noticed a girl, probably eleven, walking out of the shop. Her hair was brown, but it didn't seem naturally brown. Maybe, she was a metamorphagus as well. She walked passed me without noticing me, which was a rare occurrence considering my blinding white hair, and my bright yellow /br / An old man greeted me at my arrival, whom I suspect to be Mr. Ollivander. Mr. Ollivander perched himself high on a ladder, scavenging for a wand. The old fool had his back turned to the wand I knew would be my own. "Mr. Ollivander, I believe you have your back turned to the wand that is mine."br /br / "And which wand do you think is yours?"br /br / "I don't think; I know, and it is the wand in that burgundy box."br /br / "Oh is it? Well let's just see about that." The old man stumbled down his ladder and reached for the wand that I had pointed out on the bottom of the shelf. He read the label. "Cherry wood, thestral scale core, 12 3/4 inches, pliable." He reluctantly gave me my wand. "Give it a wave. Before following his instructions, I gazed at the beauty of my wand. The cherry was of a pale pink colour, and it had engravements, revealing the black, metallic scales that strangely shimmered, despite the darkness that it hued. "You can see it, can't you?" Mr. Ollivander /br / "The core? Yes I can see it, there are holes all over this wand. How would I not see it?"br /br / "Those are no ordinary scales, those are the scales of a thestral. A thestral is a beautiful creature, but the ability to gaze upon its beauty, is only granted to those who have witnessed death. Who's death have you witnessed, boy?" I proceeded to explain what happened to me as a child...br /br /...When I was five, my father attempted to turn me into an animagus. My father was ignorant of the fact that I would turn into a swordfish. As I lied there, flopping around, my mother walked in and killed my father with the spell "Avada Kedavra." My mum tried to comfort me after she changed me into a human, but I denied her comforting. The only thing I had to remember them was a necklace that had a gem that changed to whatever color my eyes were. The gem seemed magical to me, but I didn't understand what type of magic it held. After my parents' death, I lived with my cousin, Zacharias Smith, until my aunt was placed in St. Mungo's after claiming to be Helga Hufflpuff's descendant. I believe that I descended from Helga Hufflepuff, but I would never admit this, or I would be [placed in St. Mungo's as well. Instead, I live in an orphanage, and my cousin resents me..."br /br / "That is a terrible story, but do you mind if I see the gem?" Ollivander /br / I untucked the necklace from under my shirt and I noticed that the gem was blue, and my hair was long and black. I changed my hair back to white, and I did the same with my eyes, except /br / "Oh, this is the legendary emAnimus Terratius./em"br /br / "What does it do?"br /br / "It lets whoever wears it, turn into any creature they so desire. Which really makes your animagus ability useless." I bought my wand and I left the shop, but I heard the craftsman whisper "emGreat things/em" as I walked out and continued shopping.../p

Yesterday, I also bought myself an owl and a cat. I enchanted my owl, Dusk, to change his feather color to whatever color my hair is. My cat, Dawn, has naturally white fur, and I enchanted her to change her eyes to whatever color my eyes are. Of course, I used a potion, as to not break the /br / When I arrived at King's Cross, I knew immediately knew what to do, I ran towards the pillar between platforms 9 and 10, and I entered platform 9 3/4. The mighty Hogwarts Express stood before me, and I took my first gallant step onto the train. Well, not really, I saw the girl from Ollivander's and I tripped on the train. I picked myself back up and walked towards a room on the train that seemed promising. When I entered, my cousin, Zacharias was sitting next to two other /br / "Why's his hair maroon?" asked one of the /br / "I don't know." My cousin responded, acting as if he had never met me. He shut the door in my face and I found a new compartment. Someone else's stuff was already there. "Aurelia Hazel" read their baggage. I sat down, ignoring the luggage, and I waited for the train to leave. The door started to open, and when I turned my head, the girl from Ollivander's came /br / "Sorry," I said, and i noticed my hair now was pink. Her hair was pink too. I moved to leave, but she placed her hand on my shoulder and beckoned me to sit back /br / "It's fine," she said. We sat down in awkward silence while the train bustled out of the station. Eventually, I decided to let Dawn walk around the room. Dawn curled up on Aurelia's lap, and Aurelia petted her as she purred. "What's her name?"br /br / "Dawn." I answered, /br / "That's a lovel-" The train lights went out and everything was dark and cold. After a few seconds, I heard someone screaming. Suddenly, I felt extremely sad as our door slowly opened. I threw my necklace to /br / "Put it on and think of an animal!" I yelled. She put the necklace on and turned into a wolf. I turned myself into a swordfish and waited for the dementor to leave as I struggled to breathe. The lights came on and I turned back into a human. I removed my necklace to change Aurelia back to human. Her hair was pale yellow and she turned into a pale ginger, which looked like her natural color. I helped her stand /br / "How didn't they see us?" she /br / "Dementors have no eyes, they sense the thoughts and heartbeat of wizards and muggles, but they can't sense those of animals."br /br / Her hair turned brown, and she noticed that I was looking at it. "No, I'm not a metamorphagus. I can only change my hair."br /br / "Oh," I inflated my lips and continued to speak. "I am a metamorphagus."br /br /br /br /~Percival/p
