but I do have a good reason. This idea kept on coming in my mind giving me a writer's block for the others. So I decided to let my mind be at peace with this being written down. Anyways tell me what you think of this and if I should continue.
It was Halloween in Godric Hallow and children were running around in their costumes going to houses for free candy. It was a colorful night with houses decorated with Jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins, and ghosts. The moon was shining brightly down at the scene as the wind brushed the people's faces. Adults opened the doors and gave a gasp at the many different costumes before giving them candy. The kids said thank you and went off for more. One of the houses was a bit bigger and was beautifully (or is it horrifyingly?) decorated. They had tombstones, zombies coming out of the ground, and spooky noises. This house was the Potter manor. There were many people in the house laughing and talking having a good time. Whoever saw them would think they were strange with the robes and pointed hats they were wearing.
Inside the house a cake and a very big pile of presents told us that today was someone's birthday. Indeed it was and it was the Potter twins who finally turned ten. Harrison and Alexander Potter to be exact but they were mostly known as Harry and Alex. But no one knew that it was a twin birthday with no other name written name on the cake that said, "Happy Birthday Alex!" in blue icing. The pile of presents was given all to Alex and no name that said Harry. There were no pictures with two brothers instead of one who was doing several things. So the wizardaring world never knew that there was another Potter. Every family holds a dark secret this was the Potter's.
Let us explore the house shall we. The place had four floors on the outside but it had a basement making it five. In the basement there was a massive library that took the entire floor space. Comfy chairs and tables with lamps on them were set everywhere with the colors of gold and red. A fireplace was in a corner when lit gave warmth to the cold basement. On the second floor was the entrance which led to the exit. The hallways held many pictures of two parents and one child instead of two. The living room where everyone was gathered was radiating happiness and warmth without the roaring fire. A child was thanking everyone for the presents before going off to play with the children that came to the party. The kitchen was not far just across the entrance to the living room where the three layer vanilla cake was waiting to be eaten. House elves were busy making sure the table was set and ready. There were only two but that amount told how rich the family was.
Up the stairs that was at the end of the hallway was the third floor. There were five rooms. One was the master bedroom, Alex's room an attached bathroom, general bathroom, and the study room where James Potter did his work. At the end of the hallway there was a secret entrance, hidden by a portrait, which led to the fifth floor. The portrait was of Hogwarts and was enchanted to show the wind blowing leaves and the whopping willow moving. The fifth floor was where the secret was being held. In the attic was where Harrison Potter lived away from people, warmth, love, and being discovered. The attic was once dusty, full of cobwebs and spiders. Boxes were stored in there for so long that the family has forgotten about them. Harrison lived there and it was no longer the cold, dusty attic it was known to be long ago.
(Flashback)
Tria and Jake were standing at the entrance of the attic with Harry sleeping in Tria's arms. They looked around the room with anger. There were cobwebs and spiders in every nook and cranny. Large boxes almost took the entire space of the floor and had stayed there so long that they were covered in dust and dirt. To think that the boy's parents would be able to live here so they could take care of his younger brother without any "distractions" is sickening. The boy was only thirteen months old not even two! They couldn't do anything at all being house elves and having no rights. They both sighed and put little Harry on a sofa that Jake cleaned and started to get to work.
Jake got a bucket and a rag to start cleaning the windows. Tria took a broom and swept away all the dust and dirt. With the floor finally clean Tria summoned her feather duster and started to take care of the cobwebs. To at least put a cheerful mood while cleaning she started to hum a song her mother always sang when working. Jake finished cleaning the windows started to move the boxes. He stacked the boxes in a way that it became a table where Harry's nappies were changed.
Harry started to wake up from his nap so Jake quickly went to him and kept him occupied by summoning so blocks for Harry to play with now that Alex hated them. Harry smiled and played happily while watching the two elves work. He was curious but knew to stay where he was so he just looked around. The place was dark, gloomy, and smelled sort of funny. Harry saw a spider going across the room and watched the little thing move with wide eyes.
He gave a squeal of joy when the creature went up the wall. He wished he could do that! Maybe one day his friend could teach him. He thought and went back to watching Tria who was opening a box. She took out what seemed to be clothes but they were too big for him. Tria seeing this used a bit of her magic to make the item shrink and change into baby clothes. Harry liked the color blue so she made pajamas that were blue with white snowflakes before washing the clothing. She did it with the rest of the clothes and soon little Harry had clothes that were technically hand-me-downs.
With the box empty Tria transfigured the box into a small crib for Harry to sleep in. It was plain and dull unlike little master Alex who had beautiful designs carved into his. Harry loved Tria using her magic and clapped at the little trick. Tria smiled at how happy he was. Jake popped in with two towels that wear tattered and worn and with a bit of magic there was a pillow and soft bedding inside the crib.
Harry wasn't tired yet so the two left him be. They still had much work to do but right now they had to feed little Harry and hopefully he would sleep so they could go back to work with the other Potters. There was so little in the room that it was almost sad but with a bit of hard work that may change. Tria came with a bottle of warm milk that had a nutrient potion mixed in it so Harry would grow properly. Harry drank obediently happy that he was getting food since his mommy and daddy sometimes forgot from taking care of his brother.
Harry didn't mind since his brother needed all the care he could get to defeat the Dark Lord. Harry was the only one who remembered the truth about that night but he kept it to himself since he knew what he did was wrong. He killed someone and his parents always said it was bad so he kept quite. The elves told him that they would be gone for a little while since they had to do some important things. Harry nodded understanding and watched as they popped away like bubbles. He was starting to get bored so he started to spell words with the blocks. He wanted to write his name and Tria taught him a bit. So little Harry started to spell with the blocks to make the time pass by as he waited for the elves come back.
The elves came back after two hours and Harry was really starting to get bored and he smelt something stinky. Jake came in and realised what the problem was after Harry made an uncomfortable face. He transfigured a tissue into a nappy before putting him on the "table" and started to change Harry. Harry was happy that the smelly scent was gone and that squishy feeling he kept on getting whenever he squirmed. Now that Harry was in a clean nappy he handed him another bottle of milk and waited until Harry was done. When he handed the bottle back to him he transported the bottle into the kitchen's sink where Tria could clean it.
With his belly full Harry started to feel sleepy. Jake rocked Harry until he fell asleep. He placed Harry in the crib and put the quilt Tria worked on in her free time over him. Harry was soon peacefully asleep and Jake sighed before going back to work.
(End of flashback)
Years passed by and when Harry became four he opened one box of the attic acting like it was his birthday. Inside were books that were interesting and full of knowledge. He slowly learned to read the books with a bit of help from his parents which were now Tria and Jake understanding that his real parents didn't care for him. When his parents asked why he acted like the boxes were his birthday present Harry answered,
"When I open one of the boxes I feel like my ancestors gave me it to me. It makes me feels like they care for me." Tria cried a bit at his words. There were around fifteen boxes that were large enough to hold many things. The boxes were hidden away long ago so the other Potters couldn't take them away. The room soon became eligible for the young child. House elves where looked down at and treated horrible but no one did anything about it. But elves where also known to have great magic. Being distant relatives they gained the ability. Slowly by slowly every box that was emptied was changed into something for the room making it look and feel comfortable.
When Harry was almost three he was a child that held extreme intelligence for his age. He could talk like he was four instead of two almost three. He could read with a bit of help from the two elves and was slowly reaching the ability to count to twenty. As the months passed by Harry's room was well furnished for muggle status but not pureblood. Harry didn't care since he had a place to stay, got three meals a day and loving parents. The rest of the stuff was just luxuries to him.
His room was not very big unlike his brothers but he thought that having such a big room only covered in toys wouldn't really help you unless you had some useful things. The twin's room were completely different from each other. Alex's room had the red and gold colors of Gryffindor with toys covering the entire floor. His bed was fit for a king and the shelf held pictures and books for kids his age that mostly consisted of pictures. His wardrobe and dresser were full of clothes that he wore. One outfit for a day and also had a bathroom attached to his room. He had a large window on the side that reached the ceiling to the floor giving a spectacular view which he never thought much of. He never learned to clean up after himself making the room look like a hurricane went through it. But Tria and Jake took this to their advantage and while they cleaned the room up they looked for things that Alex no longer used but would be useful to their son.
Harry's room was small and held a bookshelf, bed, table, dresser, and wardrobe which Tria and Jake where able to get after seeing the Potters were about to throw them away but after giving a convincing lie was able to transport the item to the attic. The item was cleaned thoroughly for any dirt or bugs. After seeing that it was okay to use the three together put Harry's clothes and other utensils in there. Harry's clothes were nothing special unlike his brother who had imported silk or something like that. His baby clothes were transfigured into ones for his age. Harry didn't mind and whenever his brother was about to throw away a set of clothing that he didn't like his mother and father quickly sneaked it into his room. Those were one of his lucky days and would inspect the clothing. One day when Harry became three he opened a box to find a set of clothing that he didn't like. They were mostly itchy and had many layers. He handed the clothes to Tria and Jake. They couldn't refuse the offer since Harry was a master of the house and to make the clothes at least comfortable for them they changed it into shirts and pants. Unknowingly Harry freed the two elves that thanked him with tears and hugged the boy dearly. The two elves only stayed to take care of Harry and so that he wouldn't get punished from his parents. They kept their freedom a secret and disguised the clothes they wore into pillow cases.
Now as you read all of this you must be wondering how Harry lived in the attic and became forgotten from his own family. Well I'll tell you the sad story. Let us go back a few years...
A few years ago before Harry lived in the attic...
The Potter family was a happy family loving the twins equally. These few months were precious to Harry since this was when they were really his family. The family played with the two and watched happily as the two brothers played with each other babbling nonsense along the way. There blocks and plush toys surrounding the boys as they played. This was a peaceful and joyful time. Today was also the day when the two became one year old since it was also their birthday. The peace was broken by the sound of alarms you here when there's a fire. James quickly picked the two up and handed them two Lily.
"Run Lily! Go to the study and floo to Hogwarts with the kids! He's after them! I would hold him off-"James said when he was cut off from a large BANG! The door exploded and there stood the dark lord with his mouth turned into a cruel smile at the site of the two children. Lily ran up the stairs to the study as James held back Voldemort but was only able to for a few seconds. Lily closed the door behind her as the three hid into the twins' room. Alex was crying from the large noises while Lily tried to hush him. Harry was quite and staring at the door knowing that something bad was happening and being quite was very important right now. The door was thrown open and landed beside the three. Lily stood up with her wand in her hand. The muggle born showed no fear to the Dark Lord. Her mind went into protective mode as she blocked Voldemort's view from the children.
Sometimes it's very foolish to anger a mother when she deeply cares for her children. This is what the mother bear feels when her children are threatened and this was what Lily Potter was feeling as she stood in front of the Dark Lord. A fire was roaring in her eyes determined to protect her child.
"Stupefy!" she screamed aiming at the Voldemort. He easily flicked the spell away and threw the Devil's dream curse at her. She was flung back and lay motionless making her children even more scared then they already were. Her children were scared and defenceless. Alex cried harder while his older brother tried to calm him down.
Voldemort detested crying children after his time in the orphanage. He put a silence charm on the wailing child and studied both of them. The red face child was Alex from Peter's description while the other must be Harry. Alex had reddish hair that was similar to the Weasleys and stayed flat on his head. He was a bit pudgy and had a round face with brown eyes. Voldemort concluded that this wasn't the child that would vanquish him and looked at the second one, Harry. Harry was staring at the dark lord with no fear and looked at him right in his red eyes with stubbornness inherited from his father. The boy was a bit small and skinny unlike his brother. His eyes were emerald green obviously inherited from his mother but if you looked deeper you could see that his eye color was instead a richer green. The type of green you see in the healthiest forest out there. Those eyes unnerved him but grudgingly agreed that it suited him with his unnatural appearance. He was so pale that he almost resembled as a vampire unlike his brother who was well tanned and looked golden. His face wasn't round like most children and was instead sharp. His ears were a bit pointed and looked like the softest thing to touch. His hair was darker than coal and the raven's feathers but holding the quality to be softer than anything. As it shined against the light it tinted blue. His hands were small and somehow graceful but you could see the strength in there that would be shown when he gets older. The child reminded him a bit of the elves and made him wonder if he had a bit of their blood in him. He concluded that this was the child that would vanquish him.
He whispered the killing curse at him. He never really liked to kill children since they reminded him of his old life. Defenceless and innocent like him when he was when he was in the orphanage. It was as if time was slowing down at the green jet of light was coming towards Harry. Harry closed his eyes accepting his fate that he would die. The sounds surrounding him disappeared as he waited for the light to hit him. He did the one thing that many men, women, and Voldemort himself couldn't do. He embraced death making him wiser than any men and braver than any Gryffindor. As Harry waited for death he heard a sweet voice that was like a melody in his head.
"You have passed the test little one. I choose you to hold my mark. Wear it with pride little Harry." A voice whispered in his head before it disappeared. He was confused for a minute before he opened his eyes. Suddenly determination came into him. He didn't want to die when he just came into this world! His heart pumped faster as a gold circle covered him, his brother and mother. Voldemort watched in horror and fear as the curse rebounded back to him "killing" him. His spirit screamed before going out the window as he promised revenge.
The curse and barrier took a lot out of Harry and soon it collapsed making get a scar on his forehead that resembled a lightning bolt from the presence of dark magic. Harry was tired and collapsed but before he closed his eyes he reversed the silence charm put on his brother. Without much focus he accidentally put a cut on his arm. It was a weird cut almost resembling a V. As Harry slept on he didn't know that his birthday would become the day when everything became the worst for him and the best for his brother.
A few minutes later the order rushed into the house that was intact. They heard crying and quickly went to the twins. They found Harry sleeping and Alex crying deeply with a bit of blood on his arm. Lily was at the back of the room unconscious. After everything was fixed with James having a bandage wrapped around his head and Lily awake everyone was in the living room discussing what happened. Harry was sleeping soundly on his mother's lap while Alex was awake looking at everyone curiously from James lap.
"Albus which one of the twins were marked by Voldemort?" James asked. Everyone became quite wanting to know the answer. Dumbledore looked at the two examining them. Harry's scar was covered by his hair that grew a few weeks ago and was very faint to go unnoticed making Dumbledore announce that Alex was the chosen one. Everyone cheered for the Dark Lord was dead and peace finally came upon the wizard world. A few months later Harry was moved to the attic so they could take care of Alex the boy-who-lived without any "distractions". That is how Harry ended up in the attic being neglected and soon forgotten by people and the world but two still remembered. Remus and Sirius still remembered the child and snuck into the attic every birthday of the twins to give him his present.
End of the sad story...
Harry was now ten years old and always wondered who spoke to him when he was a child but gave up after he didn't come up with any answers. With the care from Tria and Jake he grew up without being spoiled. Harry was intelligent with books as his company when Tria and Jake were busy. Ignoring the ways of the purebloods Harry learned the muggle way but also learned of the wizardaring world. His bookshelf was filled with books and there were a few stacks beside it since there was no longer any space for the rest. Harry was sitting on a sofa that Tria and Jake were able to get seeing that the Potters were going to throw out. They said it was getting dusty, old, and a waste of space. When the Potters left it in front of their fence the two waited until they were gone before transporting the item into the attic. Harry with years of practice fixed the couch by stitching up the holes but before that he added more stuffing with rags that he no longer needed.
Jake was able to get a roll of shoe polish before and polished the furniture and the couch once. Tria helped by making the couch look more comfortable by making it into one of the soft chairs that was in the library. But the item was also enchanted to make it a bit harder so his back could stay straight. His mother and father were able to make some extra food before each meal. Jake dropped the food off telling Harry what happened so far as he ate a bit of his food. They made sure the food Harry ate was healthy instead of full of junk that Alex sometimes ate. He was only allowed to eat something that wasn't healthy on his birthday and Harry didn't mind. He was one of the kids who ate what he got without any complain.
To make sure that Harry also got exercise instead of being coped up in the attic they transported him into the yard at six o' clock in the morning that way he would be able to play for two hours before his parents discovered him. His parents have forgotten Harry and only remembered him when it was something important but then remembered that he died on the day Voldemort attacked. After a week they would forget him again but Harry didn't mind when his mom told him. It gave him freedom to do whatever he wanted. Being thought to be dead does have its perks. He read a few years ago about a history book that Tria took seeing that no one ever read and was thought to be useless. The book was very detailed about how the house was made, its structures and about the secrets the house held. He read it thoroughly fascinated and as he read a piece of parchment that was actually a pamphlet of something fell onto the floor.
He opened it and realised that it was a map of the place sort of like the Marauders Map that his uncle's told him about. Apparently this house was really old and had secret passageways that were long forgotten. He looked at the book cover and asked who William Potter was. Apparently he was his Great times ten grandfather and was once a headmaster of Hogwarts. Harry was delighted and decided to explore promising to stay hidden. There was one that led to the kitchen, basement, outside, and bathroom. He was glad for the bathroom and used it when the map told him no one was heading or in there. He only took showers when they left the house which was almost every day since they were busy being famous. His parents forgot and neglected him because of the fame his twin brother got. Harry knew the truth of that night but didn't say anything since he didn't want fame.
Who wants to be followed everywhere they go and their actions being recorded every time? He wasn't into the thing but apparently his brother was. Alex's ego got bigger with all the pride, attention, and gifts making him a brat but no one ever realised that since he was the boy-who-lived. Right now Harry was on his couch reading a book based on Occulumency. It was an art that was difficult to practice and he wanted to master it since it was useful and could save your life if used properly. There were five stages to mastering the art. The first one was to clear his head by meditation and to become close to his magical core. Harry sighed and continued to read the passage carefully since it was important to make the meditation right or else someone would go crazy from the amount of power their core emits.
He sat on the rug that he made a few years ago. It had images of Tria and Jake carrying a baby. There was a wolf howling at the moon for uncle Moony and a dog growling for uncle Sirius. There was also a snake, phoenix, badger, lion, owl, and many other creatures as symbols for traits he learned. Harry cleared his head as best as he could before going deep into meditation.
All I saw was black but it wasn't dark as most people say it was. I felt like there was a light that was deep inside me. I ventured deeper and blinked when a flash of light surrounded me. I was in room that was pure white and in the shape of a circle. There were several portraits that couldn't be paintings or pictures with the amount of details in them. Each of them went by age. So there were six portraits surrounding the room. There were a few creatures around the room. A snake wrapped around me but I wasn't scared. He hissed and I was surprised that I understood what he said,
"Hello my name is Drakun (dra-ache-oon). I am a mix of all snakes that was thought to be extinct." I replied back,
"Hello pleasure to meet you. My name is Harrison but I like to be called Harry. Tell me what you are all doing here." I hissed. I saw all the other creatures gather around me. There was a Phoenix, Thestral, Griffin, Dragon, Wolf, Owl and a Sable.
"We can answer that." The Thestral said.
"We are your animangus forms. Some wizards ignore or cannot go this deep into themselves. That it was why there is a potion that helps them see their animal forms." The Owl said.
The owl was white and had little splotches of black I named him Orcus. The Thestral was called Ronan and can only be seen by the people who have witnessed death. The Phoenix was a beautiful black and blue color. His head went blue but further down the shade turned into black. I called him midnight since he reminded me of the sky. The Sable already had a name and was called Nightlock after the berries. She had black fur with a lighter shade under her belly but her wings were a deep purple while her eyes were as red as a ruby. The dragon was a brilliant shade of green that was similar to my eyes while her eyes were a beautiful brown-gold. Her name was starfire and she was a cousin of the Hungarian Horntail. The griffin was large and majestic. From the way everyone looked at him he was the leader. His coat was ceramic gold color that seemed to glow I named him Arcer. The wolf was named Burnhide and had an intimidating look with his coat that seemed like it was the dirt itself. He told me that he had the ability to camouflage into the scene like the chameleon.
We talked for a while before I told them why I came here. They led me to the center of the room where there was a globe. Inside the globe it showed me my memories like a pensive. I asked them what it was and told me that it was my core. As my forms they guarded it since it was also a part of them. To damage a core is one of the vilest things you could do for it is your soul. I thanked them for everything they told me and told them I had to go. I promised to come back some time.
They all told me goodbye as I walked back the way I entered. Soon the scene faded and my eyes snapped open. I was breathing heavily and my forehead was covered in sweat. I looked at my watch and saw that two hours passed by. I smiled before wiping off the sweat with my sleeve. Seeing that I was soaked I opened my closet to change. I didn't have that many clothes since I couldn't go buy them. I decided to wear a white shirt with a blue short sleeved on top. I picked my blue jeans and quickly wore the clothes. Seeing that my bed needed to be made and some books were laid opened. I sighed and flicked my hand making the bed fix itself. I picked up the dirty clothes and put them in the laundry basket. I took the broom and started to sweep my room. The attic takes the entire fifth floor making it quite big but compared to Alex's room it was small. His room had an expansion charm on it.
My room was only small since I divided the place. I told Tria and Jake that they could stay here instead of the kitchen floor. They didn't want to but I begged them and after a while there were two beds for them across the room. Whatever small possession they had they took with them. Tria would sing me to sleep and I was now humming the song as I swept up the place. The windows needed cleaning so I imagined the washing rag dipping into the bucket and cleaning the windows. The rag went in the water and cleaned the windows. There was only five windows and gave the room lots of sunlight. Seeing that Potters ate healthy food but it wasn't a vast amount Tria and Jake bought some vegetables seeds when they were sent to go grocery shopping.
After turning some tissue into pots and digging a bit of dirt from the yard there was now an indoor garden. I loved watering the plants and watch as they grow into something else. I put the dirt into the garbage and filled the watering can with water. I hummed along as I watered the plant. They were a healthy green from all of the sunlight and care Tria and I gave. Jake watched over my education on academics making sure I was ahead of my grades. It wasn't that difficult with my photographic memory and all. Tria gave me the love my own mother never gave me while Jake made sure to give his son a bit of fun.
My schedule was packed making me busy everyday but I didn't mind. In the morning I play outside and by playing I mean doing exercise. Running, jumping jacks, sit-ups, those kinds of things is what I do. That made me have a good build for my age and with all the food I eat I got taller. My hair is messy and can never stay the way Tria wants it to. She told me that my hair was like my personality which caused Dad to laugh. I never called the Potters my family since they never took care of me.
I was done with all of my chores and could go back to reading a book I wasn't able to finish yesterday. It was about magical creatures and my interest grew even more after finding about my forms. I got comfortable and went back to the page I last read.
There are many magical creatures and hold different personalities. No species are the same although there are similarities. Elves and house elves are an example of this. They are distant cousins but hold similar personalities. Magical wolves called the Armoon are similar to a werewolf since they almost share the same blood. The difference is that the Armoon can change from wolf to human and hold the same capacity of intelligence as wizards sometimes a bit more. The Phoenix is known for its tear to heal wounds when it cries but to force the creature will make its power weaker. It is very rare for a Phoenix to willingly become a familiar to a wizard but there are records of this happening.
As said in the passage above each creature is different from another like the core of a wizards does not match with another unless the two wizards soul become to each other without knowing but it does not affect the people. But it is known by few that all magical creatures have some connection to each other no matter how different they are. This is way there are hardly any magical wars with them. A creature also lives in certain places or in other words habitat as the muggles call it. As they live there they are given certain abilities to survive in their home. For the Wolfrn would it is able to camouflage. If the Wolfrn is your animal form then you gain the ability of metamorphosis. People who have the ability naturally then there animangus are the Wolfrn most likely.
I paused after reading that passage. The ability to change your appearance at will is something great. It can make you almost untraceable and can allow you to go to certain places if you are disguised as the right person. I mused over these thoughts and was about to continue when there was a knock on the door. I put the bookmark on the page and placed the book back into its place.
"Come in." I said making sure I looked presentable. Uncle Moony and Padfoot entered. I sighed and smiled at them happy they came. I hugged them and allowed them into my room.
Sirius Pov
Moony and I chuckled as the muggle children ran around getting candy. We walked up to the Potter manor and knocked on the door. Lily answered and greeted us happily.
"Sirius, Remus! Come in." She said happy and closed the door after we entered. The place was full of joy and life. The living room was covered in beautiful colors. We said hello to Albus, the Weasleys, and many other wizards. I was attacked by a blur of red. I smiled and hugged Alex.
"Hey Alex, wow your ten! Next year you'll be going to Hogwarts. Man time sure does fly by." I said as we both handed him presents. He thanked me and put them along with the others. My eyes widened at the pile. It was taller than me! Remus eyes also widened and I looked at the names. All of them said Alex and no Harry. I sighed the kid has been neglected all his life but he didn't seem affected by it.
"Padfoot, Moony it's good to see you again after so long!" James said. We smiled at each other and gave a bro hug to him.
"So tell me what happened since we last saw each other?" he said as we sat on a couch with a goblet of fire whiskey.
"Well everything back at home is still the same and it's taking a while for me to clean up the place but its slow progress. I got an offer to work at some place and I decided to accept since the money will help with the place." I said as I took a small sip of my drink. Alex was playing with the other children but you could see that the kids were annoyed of his attitude. My lips twitched into an upwards smile seeing that other people were agreeing that the boy-who-lived was slowly becoming a brat.
"Well for me I've got a job that pays well and I've worked really hard that I earned a promotion." Remus said. We both congratulated him for his work. He really earned it. A witch who was a bit plump and short came up to James. They spoke for a few seconds.
"Sorry guys but apparently there are other people who wish to speak with me. It was good to see you again though!" James said before getting up and following the woman to a group of people. I sighed,
"He's really changed after that night hasn't he? I mean he doesn't even remember his other son!" I exclaimed in a hush tone. I drowned the rest of the drink before putting the goblet on the table beside me.
"I know what you mean Sirius but we can't do anything or else they'll kick us out and Harry will be left alone." Remus whispered back to me.
"Sirius, Remus how good it is to see you after so long!" Molly Weasley said as she came towards us. She was wearing a green robe that was beautiful with her hair color.
"Hello Molly it has been a long time since we've last seen each other. How is everything with your family?" Remus asked kindly. Molly sat beside him after hugs.
"Well Bill is working for well for Gringrotts and is always exploring telling us of the places he went to. Charlie is doing well at taming dragons and scares me very time he talks about the species. Percy is always working hard to get the best mark in his class. George and Fred are still into their pranks. I don't know what I should do with those two. Ron is excited to go to Hogwarts. Ginny is growing well and I can see her becoming a strong woman when she grows. Arthur has been busy lately and is slowly tiring from the stress and work. I hope the party will help him a bit. I'm doing fine as usual." She said smiling. We talked some more before it was time for Alex to open all of the presents.
After an hour with the cake cutting done and some conversations the party was over. Lily and James helped Alex gather all of his presents to his room. They soon retired saying tired goodnights. Moony and I looked at each other before we went upstairs. We passed by all the doors and reached the end of the hallway. There was nothing there or so they say but we saw a faint outline of a door. I opened the door and we both went in. The entrance smelled like stone and water and there were a few cobwebs. We went up the small flight of stairs after we made sure the door was closed. There was another door that was in good condition. Remus knocked on the door. We heard some shuffling and then a voice saying,
"Come in." We entered to see Harry. After we entered he hugged us smiling. I looked around the room. It was pretty big and well furnished in a way. The place had a bookshelf full of books that were pretty advanced for his age and three beds. There was a small garden that was growing well and the place was pretty clean. The beds were made and everything was put in their rightful places. I smiled at Harry and noticed how tall he got and the way his shirt was clinging onto him showing that he was getting a good build.
Harry and Alex were complete opposites of each other. Alex hair was a fiery red inherited by his mother while his eyes were a deep chocolate brown. His face was a bit round and tanned showing that he still had some baby fat but with his years at Hogwarts that may disappear. He wasn't really athletic to do running around much but he did love to play. He sometimes broke things because of his clumsiness which caused him to get many bruises. Harry on the other hand had a deep emerald green color that went well with his coal or raven black hair inherited from his father. His hair had that windswept look that James always had and made it look but it was actually very soft to touch.
He was pretty graceful for his age never stumbling or anything. Ambitious and intelligent from all the books he reads and understands things kids his age shouldn't. He never did forget his manners and was fine with whatever he got. Harry made the perfect heir for the Potter family too bad they have forgotten him. It was sad to see him live his like this in the shadow of his brother. I ruffled his hair laughing at the annoyed look on his face.
"How are you doing Harry?" Moony asked. We sat opposite to Harry who was sitting on a brown sofa. He was comfortable and his eyes sparkled with happiness. As I looked deeper I could see the large amount of intelligence from reading so much. He's going to be a Ravenclaw with that brain of his. I thought smiling.
"Oh I'm doing fine I was able to reach the grade ten level in my muggle studies and I'm slowly learning about the spells used in the fourth year. Mom and Dad made this schedule for me where I stay healthy, have fun but also study the same time. I was able to find a book based on Occulumency in the library. I read about it and I'm determined to learn about it. So far I am close to completing stage three and by the end of the week I may reach stage four if I can come up with this amount of focus." He said softly. My eyes widened again by the progress he was going through. The kid could do his OWL and NEWTS next year and might pass with O's. If only Lily and James didn't ignore him then they might have been able to see the potential he has.
"T-That's great Harry. What do you mean by mom and dad? Did Lily and James finally remember you? How do you feel now that you turned ten? Next year you'll be able to go to Hogwarts! How about for your birthday present we buy you the things you need for your time at Hogwarts." I said stuttering first. Harry seemed surprised and nodded in acceptance at the offer we gave him. The kid didn't act like he was his age. He was so patient and didn't whine for things. If the answer was no then he would just accept it.
"By mom and dad I mean Tria and Jake. They became my parents now since they took care of me so long." Harry explained and his eyes shone with sadness as he remembered that his own parents didn't want him. I grit my teeth at the thought but Moony interrupted me before I could do so.
"Speaking of you becoming ten we got you presents!" he exclaimed. Harry's eyes became so bright I thought I would become blind. I took out a small box and handed it to him. The box was gold and had a silver bow tied around it. Harry undid the bow carefully with his tiny fingers gracefully. He smiled as he lifted open the box and gasped. His eyes had some tears as he said thank you. He took out a necklace that was silver twined with green. In the middle there was a small ruby. When he opened it there two pictures of Moony and me.
"Whenever you want to talk to us you just press on one of the pictures and we'll be able to talk to you. It's sort of like the floo network and it took me a while to enchant it." I explained. Harry nodded I helped him put it on. He hid under his shirt and hugged me tightly. I just chuckled before going back to my seat. Moony flicked his wand and a trunk landed in front of Harry. Harry's eyes went wide which Moony and I laughed at. He asked what it held and explained,
"The trunk holds eight compartments. It's the type of trunk Mad Eye has. To make sure your things can't get stolen the trunk will open on your voice and a bit of your blood." He said. Harry thanked him over and over while he said it was no problem.
After he put the presents away we played games. Harry and Remus were playing a game of chess while I watched them. The two were thinking and making sure their moves didn't hold that many consequences. In the end Harry won three times while I teased Moony. After chess we played five rounds of Exploding Snap. We were about to play another round when Tria and Jake came. Harry gave them a hug before pushing a stone. A doorway appeared making me raise an eyebrow.
"Where are you going Harry?" Remus asked. Harry turned around and said,
"I'm going to do my daily exercise now that everyone else is sleeping deeply." He answered. We followed him and watched him as he did five laps around the yard that was half the size of the quidditch field. He wasn't breathless but his breathing was heavy. He then did sit-ups, jumping jacks, and many other things. After an hour of exercising did Tria and Jake played with him.
"No wonder he's getting a good build with all this exercise he does twice a day." Remus said to me. I nodded and decided to join in on the fun. After an hour of playing we went back inside with Jake giving us glasses of water. Harry drank three before going to the washroom. The house elves led us back to Harry's room by using another passageway. As we waited for Harry to come back Tria and Jake took out a very long box out. They then summoned some wrapping paper and covered the box. Remus asked what they were doing.
"Before the attic became Harry's room there were many boxes that the Potters have forgotten about. So when his birthday comes his present is to open one of the boxes." They said explaining. When Harry came back and saw the present he hugged his parents and carefully opened the box. Inside there were more books which Harry gave a delighted whoop at. Beside the books was a portrait that was covered. Harry carefully took off the sheet. What we saw next gave all of us a gasp of surprise. The portrait was not any portrait. This was a portrait of the one and only Godric Gryffindor. The picture moved showing us that it was enchanted.
"It's great to see light again after so long." He said. He was pretty tall and his hair was blonde. His eyes were green tinted blue while his robes were in the Gryffindor colors, red and gold. Harry stared at him wide eyed.
"H-hello sir, may I ask who you are." Harry asked timidly. He turned towards him and smiled.
"You must be one of the Potters. My name is Godric Gryffindor in other words your many times grandfather." Harry gasped and bowed towards the portrait catching us all by surprise.
"Why are you bowing boy. I am just a portrait." He said. Harry quickly straightened himself but wouldn't meet the man's eyes. He kept his eyes down in a show of respect.
"Sir you are one of the founders of Hogwarts. You may be powerful but it is not the power that I want sir. I wish to learn from your wisdom and ask you in pure respect if I can be your apprentice." Harry said softly. Remus and I looked at each other with shock. We knew Harry was smart but not this intelligent! Godric had a thoughtful look in his eyes and analyzed the boy before his eyes widened.
"You hold strong magic boy. Wandless magic at your age with such experience and knowledge is rare to come by. We have waited for so long for a person with your personality." He mumbled. I was confused,
"Sir what do you mean by we?" I asked. Godric looked up and smiled,
"The founders have waited for so long for a person that wouldn't have a centered goal that would allow them to go to the house they want to. You must be cunning to be smart. You must be smart to be brave for power. You must work hard to not be crazy with power. The houses are like stepping stones and sadly the houses became separated instead of united." He explained. We understood what he was talking about.
"Oh Harry your answer to the question is yes. I will take you in as my apprentice but you must promise to work hard and your life may soon become hell while I teach you. Do you agree to these terms?" He asked looking at Harry seriously. Harry nodded and swore he would work the best he could. We all congratulated him on his achievement.
"We would love to stay longer Harry but we really need to go. Congratulations on your status though." Moony said before Tria transported us to the edge of the manor wards. We took in the silence with all the muggles asleep in Godric Hallow.
"Harry is really intelligent. At the rate he's going he could become one of the most powerful wizards." Remus said. I nodded,
"Then we better make sure to love and take care of him so he won't become dark. We love him no matter what he becomes." I said. We said our goodbyes before apparating to our homes.
Harry Pov
I was really happy. Today was the best birthday I could ever have. My uncles visited me, I got presents, and lastly I became an apprentice to one of the founders of Hogwarts! Tria put a sticking charm on the wall beside my wardrobe and hung Godric's portrait. He was grateful and thanked Tria.
"You are a freed house elf?" he asked. When Jake said yes he asked another question,
"Then why do you stay? I know how house elves are treated and it has always disgusted me." He said.
"We only stay because of Harry sir. His parents neglected and soon forgot about him because of the fame his brother was able to bring. Soon he didn't exist and the Potters only had one child named Alex." Tria said. Jake explained what type of fame Alex brought and soon Godric was disgusted by his descendants. I smiled at the sight and put the books from the book shelf in the last compartment of my trunk. I made the password apprentice since it would be hard to guess at school. After that I looked at the time and was surprised to find that it was almost ten o'clock! I was supposed to go to sleep at eight! I quickly changed and went to my bed with the covers up to my chin. Sleep soon over took me giving me a dreamless sleep.
I woke up and took some clothes before opening up the passageway to the bathroom. I took a quick shower that way the Potters wouldn't become suspicious. I decided to wear a red shirt with a white hoodie, black jeans, and black sneakers. I took the comb lying on the counter and tried to comb my hair. Seeing that it was six o'clock I went outside and did my usual exercise. I wanted to push my limits so I did as many laps I could which was eight. I was happy and made a goal to reach ten laps. I did the other exercises but this time doubling the amount. I was covered in sweat but with a quick clean up spell it was gone with my clothes dry.
I went inside and saw a plate of eggs and a sandwich that had peanut butter and slices of banana in between. I ate all of it and drank the glass of milk before cleaning up the dishes. I went in my room and did three chapters of Math, Science, English, French, and History. After that I did three chapters based on the wizard world.
I studied Potions, Defence against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Transfiguration, and Charms. By the time I was done it was 11 o'clock. I decided to finish reading the creature book since there was only around ten pages left. I read it with interest and took out a piece of paper where I wrote about the important things I learned from the book.
"Good morning apprentice Harry." Godric said. I looked up and smiled,
"Good morning mentor." I replied back and finished writing my notes.
Godric's Pov
I was woken up by Harry taking clothes out of his closet before disappearing in the passageway that leads to the washroom. I smiled and looked around the room. It was pretty big and the room was divided. One side of the room was for the elves and the other for young Harry. His room was clean and tidy and showed how intelligent the boy was actually. The books on the shelf were advanced and you only learned certain spells when you reached the age at Hogwarts but the boy has used the library to his advantage. He came back after two hours and from the way he ran outside it meant the boy exercised. Good your magic can only go so far if you're not healthy.
The boy then took out several books and lay down on the floor where he started to study. I was fascinated that the child was able to study for three hours straight. In the first hour he did muggles way of studying and then the rest was based on the wizard world. It was good that there were things I didn't need to teach him already. He looked at the time on his watch. It was 11 o'clock and instead of playing he took a book from the trunk that was about magical creatures. He finished the book in half an hour and used the rest of time to write about the things he learned in the book. I decided to announce that I was awake.
"Good morning apprentice Harry." I said. He looked up and smiled. He finished off what he was writing and put it away in the trunk.
"Good morning mentor." I shook my head at his manners. Tria came and handed Harry his lunch. It was rice with chicken and vegetables. He didn't argue and ate all of the food and before he could wash the plate himself Tria took it. Harry started to protest she just shook her head and said,
"You better not keep Master Godric waiting any longer." She popped away after. I chuckled. Harry looked up at mock glared at me before sitting in front of me.
"What are we going to learn today mentor?" he asked respectfully. I thought for a minute and decided to tell him what I found out about his core. It was a secret that I have kept from my family as I waited for another one like me to come and now the secrets must be told.
Harry Pov
I waited patiently for my mentor to decide what he would teach me. I was pretty excited to learn and I would do my best. I waited with patience and thought about what I would learn.
"I'm going to teach you a bit of history. This history goes back way before the ministry was made and maybe near the time of Morgana and Merlin the two strongest wizards of our time. There were other wizards who got close to their level power but they almost got insane with the amount of power so they thought better to continue. At the time of Avalon witches and warlocks didn't use wands since they were able to control their magic with their mind or hand movements. Yes they did have staffs but the staffs were mostly used to controls someone magic until they were able to control it. Also staffs made a good storage for magic when they didn't have enough in their body to cast a certain special. At that time wizards' core were massive and bright and used properly can make the world a better place. But wizards at the time also knew that creatures that were born and made of magic were much stronger. They made a treaty with them so a war wouldn't happen and that the world may live in peace.
As time passed by the ability to do wandless magic has slowly disappeared. And the core of our people started to shrink. It went to the point where wands were made to make a person's magic come out and work. The wand is like a tunnel the magic in us to escape or be used. Some people need a different wand that is weaker or stronger as long as it fits the core size. That it is why no wand is ever the same unless one wand has an item that came from the same creature making them brothers. The line of the "wand chooses the wizard" was made since the wand knows whose magic core would fit with them. Now there are a few rare cases where the person's core is big enough to do wandless magic but they can only do so much without a wand.
Now that the ability of not needing a wand became so rare that the people who gain this ability are called mages. I am a mage myself and it had taken me a long time to control but with years of determination and practice. A mage can also be made chosen from magic herself is deemed worthy. First she makes them a test and if they passed she made them have a power to become a mage. From the amount of magic your birth parents and brother hold is almost nothing compared to yours. Also from the mark you have on the right side of your chest also proves my theory that you have been marked by magic." He said. I took all the information in and pulled my shirt down a bit and saw a mark that was a circle and ink black. It had a tree that reached up to the sky with what looks like a bird in mid flight while carrying an arrow with its claws.
"Everyone has a different mark and their goal is to find out what their mark means. No one has the same mark and there are hardly any similarities. The darker your mark the higher your power level but if you have white that does not mean you are weak. It means that you excel at a certain talent. Magic makes sure that she doesn't favor someone and puts equality in the world. The equality though is slowly disappearing and magic is doing her best to put the balance back in the world. Dark and Light is a balance that is crucial to stay the same no matter what the same.
The ministry though has been disrupting the balance is damaging the balance faster than Magic can fix. Creatures that are thought to be dark are being killed and light creatures are becoming enslaved. Remember my apprentice there is no light or dark only grey. The ministry only claims something dark when they are scared and can't control it. A Grim for example can be a good omen when the person wishes for death. Magic is neutral but it depends on the people who use it to categorize it.
I must warn you apprentice that what the ministry say may be lies or out of fear. Believe what you see and experience. Only believe the words of your people when there is true fear in their eyes. Yes it may sound dark but it is a way of knowing if they say the truth or not without using the truth serum which is cruel. The history of the old times has been lost and forgotten too many times. Salazar and I were not enemies. We were good friends and trusted each other with our lives. He used the basilisk as protection for Hogwarts and there were a few accidents that he tried to fix. What the people didn't know was that the children who died weren't only muggleborns there were also purebloods who died. Salazar sealed the snake away and searched for a way to make the snake's eyes not affect the students. A spell was being made but before he could complete it he died from the amount of work he did to make the spell. I lost a great friend that day. I think that's enough of history of the old times." He said. I stored all the information and wrote important notes on a piece of paper before storing it away in my trunk. I looked up at my mentor hoping that he would teach more. He smiled at my enthusiasm.
"Since you now know about being a mage my apprentice I must tell you the basics of being a mage. What every mage must learn and what limitations we have. Certain rules and all but they are all reasonable. So I shall start with powers. Every mage is much more powerful than any wizard but there are levels a mage must go through to pass their barriers and to gain control of their powers. Wandless magic comes easily to us and spells based on elements are not impossible but needs a bit more focus on. Blood magic that is thought dark is not. Blood magic can heal the user and people. There magic core actually diminishes but it doesn't disappear instead the magic goes into their very body. They become a walking power source and to unleash their magic they need to cut the rune into their skin where the blood charges it. The user must use their will and focus to make the spell work.
Soul magic is a bit different. It is like necromancy but you do not raise the dead you bring out the spirits or in other words there soul. It's a bit complicated but when you'll get older you'll understand. You can use the souls as spies. They can go inside the person and without them noticing. The souls stay, observe, and take all the information the person holds and reports it back to you. They're like scouts and spies.
Death magic is the darkest and no one meddles with it. They don't dare for one mistake can kill you. It is also horrible to mess with the balance of life and death. If you go to deep there is no return but if you do somehow survive then magic will take away your powers making you a muggle for going dark. Every mage knows of the consequences and only use the basics in the direst of circumstances. Take heed of what I said of this magic for it is not something you shall mess with apprentice. A mage can also have a patron from a mythology. Most pick Greek for the simplicity and advantages from it. For example Apollo is the god of truth you use him when you are doing an interrogation. I think that's enough for today apprentice. We will start the real work when you have learned all the rules." Godric said before disappearing from his portrait. I wrote notes again and decided to put it in a folder that way I wouldn't be able to lose anything.
I decided to visit my animal forms and learn some things about them. I cleared my head before going into a deep meditation. It didn't take me that long to find my core again. Everyone greeted me and I imagined a long table appearing where all of us could see. I also imagined the type of food they eat appearing in front of them. They thanked me and started eating. I waited patiently for them to finish so I can ask them questions. When they were full and content I imagined the food disappearing.
"I promised that I'll visit again but this time I have a bunch of questions to ask you." I said. They nodded as if to say ask away.
"What ability do I gain with you as my forms?" I asked. I was really curious since the creature book told me the possibility to gain new things based on your form. I wanted to know what I would gain so I won't be that surprised or overwhelmed when I change into them.
"Well from me you'll gain the ability to have erudite memory since I am mostly known for knowledge. I will also give you the ability to also be able read much faster than you already you also have the ability to move your body like you have no bones because of Drakun and how I can turn my head 90 degrees." Orcus said. I nodded and turned to Starfire.
"You'll have the ability to live longer than all wizards for dragons are immortal unless they fall in battle. My body stays warm so even in the harshest climate you will stay warm. You will have my instincts and memories of your ancestors running through you. You will gain the second sight dragons have. With this sight you will be able to see everyone's aura and a wizard's magical core." My eyes widened since it will tell me if a person is sneaking up on me and to be able to learn from what my ancestors learned through their eyes will be very helpful. I looked at Burnhide.
"From me you will be protective of your pack and be able to blend well into the scenery. You will gain the ability to be a metamorphic and have natural leader skills. Your teeth will become sharper and your senses will enlarge with all of us as your forms. The glasses you need will no longer be needed after you change into us. You won't gain hair in unnatural places unlike my brothers." I nodded and was grateful I won't have hair like Uncle Moony since it will cause certain problems. I smiled at Nightlock seeing her curled up.
"As a Sable you will be able to see bits of the future and when people's time to die are near or when their death is closest to them along with my brother Ronan your sight of future will enhance a bit more. You will be a natural in air since you have all forms that go in flight except for two." She said before going to sleep. I laughed at her actions before turning to Drakun.
"From me you shall be smooth with your warnings and will have a sense that will tell you if danger is near. You will also be immune to all poisons. You become a brother to all snakes and no harm shall come to you. You can paralyze people by activating it by thought if they look into your eyes since I am a friend of the basilisk." He hissed and I nodded. Midnight was comfortable on sitting on my shoulder.
"The tears of a Phoenix can heal you so you will be able heal quicker. We are known to sing beautifully and match the sirens. You will be a natural in singing and Phoenixes are also known to be able to tell you if a person is lying or not. Since your forms are somewhat part bird or something else you can pick a part of your animal and be able to use their wings. A Phoenix can travel fast but a dragon is faster. A Thestral's wing is strong and can be used as a shield. An eagle's wing doesn't need to be flapped as much allowing you to glide." He said before singing a soft song. Arcer was a quiet for a minute.
"The only ability that I have the others don't have is that my coat is like armor nothing can pierce it as I am cousin of the Nemian Lion." He said. I nodded and store all that I learned at the back of my brain. It seemed that I had much to learn and that it would take me a long time for me to gain control on my forms and powers. I sighed and went to my core. My core was strong and emitted power it was tempting but I stopped myself from becoming crazy with power. I crossed my legs and went to meditation. Stage five is where the person must meditate inside their meditation but this time beside their core.
I calmed myself and emptied my mind of everything and let my core cover me. I felt power and it was tempting me but I pushed away the temptation and did what the book told me to do. I had to make barriers around my mind so no one would be able to see my thoughts. I imagined nature being strong and never stopping like time. I imagined the water surrounding my mind and protecting it. I gave the water a duty if a part of it breaks another piece will replace like a never ending army. I've done all I could lets now all I have to do is practice getting into the mind of other people and protecting my memories.
I opened my eyes and found myself surrounded by many colors. It was beautiful and I realised that this was my core without the memories. I loved the sight but I had to go back. I walked and kept walking until all the colors disappeared and I was back in my room. My heart was beating fast and my breath was heavy. After a few seconds my heart rate went steady and I was no longer gasping for breath.
I looked at the table beside me and saw a plate of food set for me. I suddenly felt really hungry and ate the food with love. This meal was one of the best Tria has made so far! After finishing my plate I drank the glass of water that was beside it. With my stomach full and me finally mastering Occulumency after three years has put me in a really good mood. I decided to get a new book from the library now that I finished the rest.
I decided to get a book that had every wizardaring school there is. Since I'm ten I should at least know a bit about the schools and hopefully know about their classes. It's best to make a good impression on the professors or else they might not take you seriously. I opened the map to see if there was anyone in the library. I was surprised that no one was in the house except for mom, dad, and me. I guess I was really into the meditation. I entered the library and went to the history section. The library was big and I was able to go through the most of the important books in the library. I studied the ones that are most likely taught at the schools. I also did some extra studying since I wanted to be the best I could be. I do take days off though where I just relax or help around the place when the Potters are away.
My fingers brushed pass the books as I looked for the one based on schools. Potter bloodline. Potter history. Ways of the old times. I stopped and took out the book and leafed through the pages. It was a pretty informative book and I was surprised that the book hasn't been used in a long time from the amount of dust it has been collecting. I decided to take it with me and continued searching. Magic basics book one. Names of school in the wizard world. I took the book out and looked at the table of contents. This was the book I needed I put it with the other one and decided to take the book that was also about the family bloodline. Having what I needed I went back to the attic.
I put the two other books in my trunk and started to look through the pages of the schools. There were around five to five schools. So the entire book told what each school was like. I started with Beauxbatons. The school was apparently an all girl school. It was like Hogwarts except only girls. The same was for Drumstrang except this time it was only boys. I read about the school and it sounded harsher but stricter than Hogwarts. I read about Hogwarts and wasn't surprised about it being the most attacked school in Britain. I asked my mentor what the Chamber of Secrets was. He explained it was where the Basilisk was being kept and it was also where Salazar did his work.
There was another school I never heard about its name was Le Fay Art of Magic Collegiate. I understood why since the school was a secret and the only thing the wizard world figured out was that whoever entered and exited the school was the best of the best. The place was somewhere its place was a mystery. People tried but the school was so secretive that not even the Aurors couldn't find the place. There was another school called Arces and it was apparently a school that trained people who did the dirty work. Assassination, spies that type of people. If you were able to get there services after finding them than you have a hundred percent chance of your goal being completed only if you pay a large sum of money.
These people mean business. I thought and put the book away. I looked at the time and noticed that it was slowly becoming six o'clock. I took a book out that Sirius gave me a few years ago. It was based on how to transform into Animangus. I read the book and decided to do the transformation when I could do the transformation when I'm in Hogwarts. I didn't have the ingredients I needed for the potion that reveals your form but now I don't need that anymore. I read on how to transform into your form and made sure to memorize the instructions. It was pretty simple but many things could go wrong.
I decided to try and transform into Nightlock first since I knew her form the best. I imagined my body and then imagined myself shrinking and changing into Nightlock. I felt some tingles and I opened my eyes. Everything in my room looked bigger. I looked down at myself to see black fur. I ran to the mirror and looked at myself. I was Nightlock! I gave a whoop of joy that was a mix of a growl and a hiccup. It was pretty funny. I practiced running, walking, swerving, and other things before being able to comfortably walk in this form. I looked at my wings and tried giving an experimental flap.
The wings moved but it was a bit jerky. I tried to do a series of flapping and I found myself a few centimeters off the ground. I was exploding with joy but quickly grew tired. I decided to practice more tomorrow since it was time for me to sleep. I imagined how I was right now before changing into the real me. I looked at myself and found my hands back to normal. I went to bed happy about my accomplishment.
Tell me how it sounds so far? No Harry won't become like really powerful or anything like that. He's just intelligent and he needs more experience. That's why there's Godric to teach him along the way. Did you guys like the history of the old times and what I added? I worked pretty hard to make it as unique as I could and it's a slow progress but the book may become pretty famous if you guys do review!
