Animagi and information.It had been six months since Harry had begun training and his family could not help but be impressed the stone had matured not only his body but also his magic. However, it was slow going, his magic seemed to be changing and growing each day. James had performed a power study spell on him and it showed him to have a score of 539 out of 5439 meaning at the moment he had access to 539 but when fully open he would have 5439. Normally Hogwarts children would on average have around 270 - 343 max Dumbledore at full power has 3001, Merlin was rumoured to have 3773 at his prime. No one ever checked Voldemort after school but he was in the high 300's entering school and that is normally 10% ish of their core. In the past five months, he had already learned the basics to house politics, Latin, French, and was beginning Bulgarian. He had also got up to second year in practical spells and third in theory, his Occlumency was also advancing with James and Sirius really struggling to get in.
So they set up a schedule that Harry himself added to and adhered to at all times to help him train.

21:00 - Bed
Sunday
Day of family rest.
During training, Lucy would participate in all of the theory and practical subjects not requiring a wand as she did not possess on at the moment but Harry had said he would make one for her. Lily had noticed that during their time together Lucy and Harry had been getting closer to each other. Be it just holding hands when they were walking around, cuddling up on the couch together when reading or the increased frequency of Harry being kissed or kissing Lucy, be it a good morning kiss, welcome kiss or just kissing to say thanks it seemed to be happening more often. She knew that it had not progressed any further than that but after getting to know Lucy they found out that though she now looked about five she was actually nearer 11. Therefore, this made her think that soon enough they would be dating each other when they realised that they had stronger feelings than normal for each other they would just need something that would help them realise them. Harry had been back to visit the guardians of his vault a few times each time bringing some of the best steaks he could for them he had also commissioned the goblins to make it more comfortable for them. So now, each had a comfortable area to sleep when off duty and there was a more comfortable place to sit at the tunnel entrance along with a constant supply of food and water.
Now today was family day but not just any family day. Today was the day that the animagus potion was ready so Harry would be able to find out what forms he had so everyone had decided that it was best to do it on family day as then everyone would be there to witness him finding out his forms. Lucy was also going to be taking the animagus potion to see if she could become an animagus as well. What the potion actually does is amplify a persons magic so that it can be manifested into their forms to allow the person to see what they have to make themselves look like and see how the animal moves around. They had decided to do it out side in case there were any forms bigger than about 10ft so they would be able to get a proper view of each animal knowing Harry was a multi animagus.
When they were all outside and comfortable on conjured chairs Harry decided Lucy should go first so with a little encouragement and a hug from Harry she stepped up and downed the potion. At first, nothing seemed to happen then there was a fuzzyness to the air beside her and as she looked she gasped at the sight. Beside her stood a magnificent white unicorn with pinkish silver horn this signified that it was a female. After having a good exam of the unicorn, she thanked it for coming and it nuzzled her hand before vanishing with a pop like a balloon with sparkling magic falling in its place. With that done, she retook her seat with a wide grin and wished Harry luck.
Now this is what Sirius and James had been waiting months for, so as Harry gulped down the potion they leaned forwards in their seats, only to fall flat on their face when his forms actually appeared.
"Bloody hell!" Sirius exclaimed, receiving a slap from Lily, which earned a giggle from Lucy. James was equally as shocked as he ran into the house leaving the others staring after him as if he was crazy. While they waited for James to return Harry began to examine his forms he had seven in total, a Dragon, a Griffin, a Wolf, Unicorn, a Snake, Merman and a Phoenix.
Just as Harry was about to ask about what they were James appeared carrying a large book that made Harry grin when he realised what it was. It was a copy of an encyclopaedia of every type of animal ever seen.
"So that's why you disappeared without telling us where you were going," Harry said as he pointed to the book.
"Well I thought we could use dome help identifying them." With that said, he opened the book and found all the necessary information. It turned out he had some rare forms:
The dragon turned out to be an;
Imperial Dragon - his was Pitch black, approx 70Ft long, Two large horns on top of its head (some smaller at neck/face joint) spikes protruding along its back and three large spikes on each leathery wing. Wing span approx 75Ft fully extended tip to tip this breed has not been seen since the times of Merlin, thought to be the ruler of all dragons. It is resistant to most forms of magic and weapons. This dragon is said to be the most powerful ever born, it is said that the light and dark creatures all revere it but do not fear it as it is only known to attack when an innocent life is in danger.
The griffin was a rare:
Golden Griffin - head, front talons and wings of a golden eagle and back part of the body of a lion approx 7Ft tall at the head and 4Ft at the back with a wingspan of approx 10Ft fully extended tip to tip. It had a lovely golden brown colour with a slight black tip to the feathers along the edge of the wings.
What they read about the wolf intrigued them it read:
Shadow Wolf - Smokey black, 3ft long and 1 and a half Ft tall said to be one of the embodiments of darkness. It is said that the shadow wolf can travel from one shadow to another and not be hindered by wards.
The Snake was a:
Basilisk - his form was approx 60Ft long Black in colour.
Not much is known except it's gaze can kill or petrify, it is the most poisonous creature known and one of the most magical resistant creatures ever.
The merman did not give much information but his was:
Merman - 8Ft 5Inch tall head to tail well built, long ears, webbed hands and a powerful tail.
His unicorn form was:
Unicorn - Pure white, with golden horn. This signifying he is the alpha of a pack. Approx 4ft 5in at shoulder, horn approx 8inch long.
The phoenix was the most surprising and the book only said:
White Phoenix - Only ever seen by a human once said to be the true embodiment of light. The tears of a white phoenix are said to not only heal most wounds but also make anyone who it willingly gives them to, immune to all poisons including basilisk venom. It is also believed that the white phoenix has the ability to see bonds between souls as well as the auras and souls of all creatures.
After Harry had examined all of his forms, everyone decided to go inside for lunch.
When they got in to the house, a larger Ariel came bounding into the room with a fully-grown Elysia catching a ride.
[Hello Master, How did your and your mates form finding go?] Elysia asked with a phoenix equivalent of a smirk as she flew up to land on Harry's shoulder as Ariel climbed into his lap as he sat down at the table next to Lucy. Although no one but Harry knew, it both of his familiars had been making comments like this for the past few weeks and one night last week Harry had asked them why they did it when he had went to his floor for the night and their answer was simple.
FLASHBACK
Harry walked up the stairs to his floor and into his private living room where the fire was crackling merrily and sat in his armchair in front of it looking at his familiars that had followed him in and curled up on the rug in front of the fire as always with Elysia standing on Ariel's back as always. When he had got comfortable he decided to ask the question he had been meaning to for a few days now.
[Ariel, Elysia. Why do you both keep asking me when I am going to ask Lucy to be my mate? What do you mean by that she is just my friend.]
[Ah but master, we are both bound to you to help guide you to make sure that you get the most out of life. We can read you like a book even through your Occlumency shields. We know that you like her more than 'just as a friend', that warm feeling you get wherever she touches you proves that. Being a phoenix I can detect a bond between you I do not have the fully developed form of this ability only the a White phoenix or a Red and Gold soul phoenix can actually see bonds and determine how strong they are. However, the fact that I can detect the bond makes me think that it must be quite strong.] Elysia replied whilst Ariel nodded along.
[I agree I can't detect bonds but I can see how you act around each other when ever I am with one of you and the other is not there I can see a slight drop in that persons behaviour. However, when the other walks into the room the whole room brightens as you each have a secret smile that you think no one notices when you realise you are together again. Just think about it Harry you may only be physically one and a half and she may look only around five but you are each more mature she is at least 11 in mind and you are the same if not even older yourself. Just think about it you don't need to act immediately just don't immediately dismiss your feelings.] with that said Ariel curled up closer to the fire as Elysia flew up to her perch and put her head under her wing. After a few more minutes, Harry decided to call it a night and went to bed himself.
END OF FLASHBACK
[She is not my mate, I admit I have been feeling more and more attracted to her since we last spoke and I actually started looking at how we act around one and other but she would never want me as anything as more than a friend she still flinches slightly when I go to hug her.] Harry replied to Elysia's teasing.
[I think you should talk to her about that Harry. She still having nightmares about her uncle I think that is why she flinches she is not over the experience. I think you should wait until everyone is sleeping tonight and go to her room and see if you can help her, she has not had a peaceful nights sleep since you stayed in her room with her she just tries to hide it so you all don't worry. Go to her tonight and see if she will explain her story maybe then you will know what we do.] With that, Elysia stopped talking and flew down to the small bowl of strawberries and melon chunks her usual lunch food. Harry then handed Ariel a bowl of steak chunks to devour as he turned to his own meal.
After lunch, they retired to the family room to discuss how their week had been. When they entered the family room as always Harry and Lucy took the love seat with Lucy curling up with her head against Harry's chest.
"So Harry, Lucy, how has your week been? Have either of you found anything anymore difficult than normal?" Lily asked.
"No, I don't think I found anything any harder than normal, I have managed to perfect my Latin so learning spells should get easier. I enjoy learning the runes and cannot wait to start learning warding and protection spells so I can study some of the more rare books in my vaults. I still hate the politics of purebloods but I can see why I need to learn about them." Harry replied.
"I'm the same although I find the runes a little hard to remember if I'm honest but I'm getting there, Harry is helping me in his spare time of course." Lucy said with a smile as she snuggled in to him deeper.
"Can you and Sirius test my shields at the same time again I have made a small edit that I think will be added to the Potter Grimoire as a family secret." Slightly confused but never the less interested James and Sirius both nodded and prepared their attacks.
Harry suddenly felt both their attacks and felt them one pounding on his shields the other subtly probing trying to find a weak spot after the one minute thirty time barrier Harry felt them transported to their cell as they usually were so he went to release them. After releasing them, he told them what he had done.
"You both know how I had my mind set up before well everything is the same except all of my important memories are kept in a different place a place only someone who knew where to look could find them." With that said, he led them to the fountain in the town square and tapped the crest whilst mumbling a password. What happened next shocked both men the bottom of the fountain turned into a spiral staircase leading under ground.
"What..? But how did you do that?" asked a very shocked Sirius with James nodding along to his friends statement.
"In here I rule it is my mind I can do anything here the only limit is the imagination. So I decided to create this to hide all of my memories from everyone." With that he began leading them down the large flight of stairs when they reached the bottom they found a door when Harry opened it both of their mouths dropped open they had entered an underground library which looked larger than he had ever seen.
"Every book has something in it be it irrelevant information to confuse a Legilimens or real memories I am the only one who will know which ones are kept where." After he had shown them a quick tour, he took them all out of his mind and reset his protections.
"Well that was a shocker and will definitely be added to the Grimoire." James said as he told Lily what they had seen.
"I don't know why no body thought of it before to be honest it's so simple yet so brilliant." Lily said.
The rest of the day Harry spent going over his noted he had been making on wand and stave crafting. Before everyone had dinner and decided to call it a night.
Later that night when everyone was sleeping Harry took his familiars advice and decided to pay Lucy a visit as he reached her room he heard sniffling coming from the other side of the door.
"Lucy?" he said as he quietly knocked and then stepped in to the room. What he saw made his heart clench painfully. Lucy was thrashing on her bed with the covers tangled around her with tears falling from her eyes as she continually mumbled, "Please, no, go away. Don't touch me." When Harry heard that he knew he had to do something so he crawled up on to the bed, helped untangle the covers before moving to rest his back against the wall, and pulled her head into his lap stroking her hair off her face.
Lucy startled awake glancing around fearfully before she felt comforting warmth that she only associated with one thing. Sure enough when she looked to the origin, she saw Harry.
"Hey my morning star, are you ok? Do you want to talk about it?" Harry asked only to sigh as he receives a negative shake of her head.
"It might help you Lucy you know I would never reveal your secrets, you know that you can tell me anything I will always have time for you even if it is just to sit here like now to make you feel better." He said as he places a kiss on her forehead, she smiles slightly, moves up her bed and burrows her head into his shoulder as she prepares to tell Harry about her life.
She decides since she knows only Harry will understand her she will talk in her own language.
*Iiit all started when my parents died, I was five years old when they died and I was sent to the only family I had remaining. I was sent to live with my uncle Tiberius, I do not think the people who sent me there knew my uncle or had heard of him, he was a gambling man he was always in debt and would do anything to pay it off. I had heard mum and dad talking about him and it always seemed to be about what crime he had committed that month mostly it was just robbing a few houses nothing too bad but sometimes it would be stuff that not even mum and dad would talk about. No one ever caught him because he was a well-respected man in most circles, but that was all because of my dad he was one of the 24 nobles on the Elvin council they were responsible for all the daily running of the Elvin communities. Most people never suspected a member of the family of one of the nobles to be involved. When I was sent to him at first he would just ignore me and pretend I was, not there I did not mind that my parents always said to stay away from him. But it all changed one night three weeks before you found me here it was just after my 12th birthday and he came home drunk, he had been out gambling and was trying to figure out a way to earn back his money. That was, until I walked into the room to get a glass of water when he saw me. He seemed to ponder something and then, I felt him come up behind me and he pulled my hair behind my ears and he…he.* at that Lucy seemed to find it impossible to continue, she just cried into Harry's shoulder as he pulled her closer to him. He was in his 12-year-old form just now he was around 3ft tall and just as well built as in all his forms. He lifted her up so that she was sitting in his lap with her head buried in the joint of his neck, shoulder, and wrapped his arms protectively around Lucy's body he could feel the anger he had fighting against his Occlumency, but he knew he had to stay calm if only for Lucy.
*Calm down Luciferum, you are safe here, I promise you that I will never let anyone hurt you if I can help it and I certainly wont let your uncle anywhere near you. You know the power I hold in the wizarding world as well as the goblin I will make sure your uncle pays for what he tried to do to you and make sure he does not try the same with anyone else. You have my promise morning star* He said as he began rocking his body from side to side. Rubbing circles on her back to soothe her.
*We can stop for the night if you want my star you need not continue.*
*No, I will continue if I don't it will only make me feel worse besides if I can't tell my boyfriend who can I tell?" she looks up and giggles at his gobsmacked expression. Then she does something that shocks him even more and kisses his lips lightly. When she pulls away, it is to see the smug glazed eye smile of the man she has been feeling so close to.
*You know it's funny my familiars have been telling me for ages to just ask you out but I just didn't want you to feel pressure or uncomfortable because of what your uncle did.* Harry said as his eyes once again became sad.
*But I thought you would protect me?* Lucy asked with sadness and worry in her eyes.
*Of course, I will!* He said scandalised that she would think he would not.
*Then I have nothing to worry about, I have been waiting for you to ask me to be with yours for a while now. But I need to finish this story then we can talk about us and where to go from here.* Lucy said with a single tear rolling down her cheek as she snuggled back into Harry gripping his shirt like a drowning person would a life line.
*After putting my hair behind my ears she trailed his hand down my arm until he got to my him then he began to stroke and grab my bum saying 'You are old enough now I could use you' After that night I thought he had forgot until that day. He tied me to my bed and said he would be back with a few people who I was to make sure enjoyed themselves. When he left my magic flared, and the ropes snapped and well, you know what happened from there.* she finished her story and moved down the bed curling into Harry's side and cried herself to sleep as Harry soothed her by rubbing circles on her back and stroking the side of her face murmuring comforting words. Telling her she was safe and nothing would happen to her as long as he could help it. That very moment Harry made a vow to himself that he would ensure that her uncle suffered 10x the pain he caused Lucy emotionally, but he would feel it physically and mentally with no freedom in death. With plans forming in his mind he too drifted to sleep.
It had been three weeks since Harry and Lucy had got together and talked and since then Harry had picked up his training ten fold centralising in politics and duelling, He had now got up to 3rd year practical and 4th theory. he had advanced so much that everyone was worrying about what had caused him to act like this. So one night after everyone had gone to bed and Harry kissed Lucy good night James decided he needed to talk to him.
"Harry.. Harry!... HARRY!" James exclaimed trying to take Harry's attention away from another new spell book from Merlin's vault.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked wand drawn with a faster reaction than even James had.
"I wanted to talk to you about your new additions to your study schedule. Don't you thinnk you are studying a little hard you have even started research on property protection so I'm assuming you are trying to make sure you can protect the rarer books in your vaults so you can start learning them. But you are working too hard even on Sundays you have a spell book in your hand and don't even deny you go into your training room at night to practice on the training dummy's you have in there. When I ask the house elves to get you just as an experiment they said 'I is sorry sir but master is not available' that gave me the idea you were training as well so what has made you do this?" James said with a little annoyance in his voice.
"I can't tell you why I am doing this all I can tell you is it is to put Lucy's mind at rest I have decided in two months we are going to see the elves, by that time I should have made my staff and Lucy's wand. She has not trained her power enough to handle the change in power access a staff would give. If you will come into my mind I will show you something else that I will be adding to our family Grimoire." With that Harry went silent waiting for James to do as he asked.
When they entered Harry's mind James nearly had a heart attack as all around him were copies of Harry's animagus forms some flying patrolling the skies others walking around the ground or standing outside of shop doors.
"This is not what I will be adding as this was actually Rowena's idea although she only had one animal so she just has loads of ravens all over her mind. She theorised that the only reason she could do that and no other animal was because she was able to become that animal and the ones in her mind were just an extension of herself so they would know what she wanted them to do where as wild animals may actually attack her when she entered her mind. You know after I was able to transform into my phoenix form the others were easy well the dragon did take a while longer but I finally got it. I actually forgot I put them all in here I was planning on pranking you and Sirius sometime next week, oh well you will just have to keep it quiet so I can get Sirius. Anyway back to the point remember the power station that was not doing anything look at it now." As James looked at the power station, he had to rub his eyes to make sure he was actually seeing what he thought he was. The power station had a gold aura with a small platinum hue to it the same as Harry's aura.
"As you can see the power station has my aura around it that is because it controls my power levels, come inside and I will explain." James just numbly nodded with his mouth wide open in shock. When they got inside there was what looked like a giant golden sun with a control panel in front of it.
"this is my magical core I have taken all of the blocks off of it and this is it a five percent power which is a normal child's if I put it any higher with you here you would be blinded. I don't mean that mockingly, it is just a simple fact. When I learn a spell not I learn it at this level then train it myself at all different power levels to see what one gets the best result for that spell. I then put that memory with the spell so that I can subconsciously change the power level immediately with no delay between spells so it just looks like me normally firing spells where in reality my power level changes for each spell. Lets go back out and I will let you feel me at full power." With that, they returned to the real world and Harry waited for James to nod signalling he was ready.
After the nod Harry put his core to full power, when he did James took a step back Harry was glowing with his aura blindingly visible, his hair and robes were billowing in a non-existent wind and raw pure magic was crackling at his fingertips ready for him to wield. However, what really made James stare in awe was that his emerald green eyes were glowing with power and he began to float a few inches from the ground. After a few seconds, Harry returned his power levels to his usual and sat back down.
"Well Harry I can see that your training is helping you and I have guessed that you have heard Lucy's full story now and that is what is making you act as you do. Therefore, I will do everything I can to help. I will increase your political training and look up the family journals and see if I can find one on Elvin relations and how to act around them, to see if I can give you an advantage but for now lets go to bed and rest it will be a long two months.
AN:
Hi everyone I'm not too sure about this chapter I think I should have took more time with it but I was struggling a bit as my mind kept jumping to the next part of the story. I am thinking of doing a time jump with flashbacks after Harry finishes his training with the goblins but I am not sure yet. Well let me know what you think and anonymous reviews will not be accepted unless they are worth my time, as making your self-anonymous just to criticise is just cowardly. If you are going to speak your mind do it in a way I can defend what I write or explain what I have done as some of the reviews I have deleted are related to things that will come up later. But I hope you enjoyed and thank you all for reading next chapter will be up ASAP.
