On day three of his stay at the Leaky Cauldron, Harry finally got his supplies list from Hogwarts. He looked through it and decided to get the things needed. Also, he remembered what Prongs said. Apparently, when one gets an Animagus form, then they should see if they need a new wand, especially if it was a magical creature, like a Kneazle, or a Nundu. So, Harry decided to go into Diagon Alley to get his supplies and see if he needed a new wand.
After a couple hours, he found that he might need a new wand in the next year or so, but wasn't worried about that. He went into his last stop, Flourish and Blotts, a bookstore, to pick up new books. One of the things on his list caught his eye. It was titled "The Monster Book of Monsters by Edwardus Lima" He found himself full of excitement and joy. What if he could find out what his beast was? Then he could find out what he was capable of.
So, he walked into the bookstore, humming to himself before he asked where the books were. The man at the front counter told him where each was located. He grabbed them and brought them up. However, while he was grabbing the Monster Book of Monsters, he saw another book on the same shelf. He looked at it closer before raising his eyebrows. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" he said aloud. He read the author's name. Newt Scamander. Sounds like some guy named by someone who loves lizards and amphibians. He ended up grabbing that one too, in case the school issued book didn't have what he needed.
When he arrived back at his room in the Leaky Cauldron, he immediately started research for his beast. Though, when he tried opening the Monster Book of Monsters, it came alive and tried to attack him. However, it instantly submitted, as though it knew it was in the presence of a terrifying beast. Harry furrowed his brow and opened the book, flipping through the pages. There weren't many pictures, so he skimmed through the words. No luck. The closest thing he got to it was the wild Roman centaur, which was half man half horse, with what seemed like goat horns. He sighed and closed the book, tossing it into his trunk.
When he opened Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them, he saw a note in it. It said, "Hello, reader, and welcome to the amazing world of the unique creatures in both, the Wizarding World, and the Muggle world. In the following chapters, you will find creatures who love shiny treasures, to terrifying beasts who can freeze anything with it's voice. But, you will never have to worry about being attacked by them. Only when you scare them, will they attack you. Almost all creatures in this book are passive in nature and will only attack when provoked. Please enjoy this amazing catalogue of different beasts. Thank you for reading, NS"
Harry smiled when he read about the creature who can freeze with it's voice. He read through the book. There was Windigo, Djiinn, vampire, werewolf, Niffler, Obscurus, Ajiin, ghoul, thunderbirds, and tricksters. None of them, except for the Ajiin, was relatively close to Harry's beast. The Ajiin was only similar because it can freeze with it's voice. Harry found that Newt's book was better than Edwardus' book, because of the fact that Newt seemed to know each creature personally.
When he was about to give up and close the book, he finally saw a picture of the creature. Though, it wasn't like his beast in the form of color or looks. It was skinless, with yellow veins, with three eyes, and the horse's front legs had webbed feet. He read intently.
"The Nukalavee is a terrifying beast from Nordic mythology. It was said to be taller than most of the ancient Viking's longhouses when close to full grown, and even taller than the ships when fully grown. When a child, around thirteen years, it would be around fifteen feet tall. It is said to live for centuries, only grow in savagery as time goes on. It can paralyze it's prey with it's voice, and wilt crops with it's breath. It looks like a crossing of man and horse, seemingly skinless, with veins filled with yellow blood. The horse had one eye, and the man had two. Though there are rare occurrences that the Nukalavee was not skinless, but instead had black skin with bone armor, which protects the head, chest and arms. I, however, am sad to say that I have never seen one. In fact, no one has seen one since the year 30 BC. There are, however, are rumors that there are some still out there. If you find one, don't kill it. Befriend it, hope to find another, and hope they replenish it's population. Please"
Harry was dumbstruck. His beast was ancient? Supposedly dangerous? He leaned back in his chair, mouth agape. This was such a big revelation. He wasn't worried, scared, or indifferent. He was excited! He extended his arms into the air in a cheer so quickly, that he tipped his chair backwards so much that he starts to fall back. Flailing his arms, he tries to regain his balance, to no avail. With a loud thud and a weak "ow" he fell back and hits his head on the floor.
He sighs and sits up. Though happy, he still needed to finish his shift. He sighs and closes Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and pulled out his journal, which he started early in his life, when he first learned to write.
It was the only thing he managed to keep the Dursley's from taking. He smiles as he grabs his pen. He doesn't really like using quills on regular journals, as they tended to rip. He writes in his journal, the newest entry, as he does every day, recounting whatever he can remember.
He actually got a new journal, only to write what he experiences from his time as a Animagus. When he finished, he signed his newest entry with his initials, a lightning bolt, and the time he finished it. He smiled as he set both journals into his truck.
He decides to call it a day and lays in bed, falling asleep almost immediately.
