In the shadow of Hermione Granger.

Training

Thursday October 25th

The next day Sebastian and I met in an empty classroom after class was over to try to learn how I can control my emotions and transformations. I hand my wand to Sebastian so I can't use it, and then he says: "Are you ready?"

"Yes, so ready"

Sebastian: "Okay let's start"

"You name an emotion and I will try to find it"

Sebastian: "Deal"

I nod and we begin,

Sebastian: "Angry"

I concentrate and find a memory of my parents and I fighting about my powers, I feel the rage come from inside and I feel a full control of it, I think of a grizzly bear, and a short moment later I feel a transformation, but something in me makes me stop, Sebastian looks at me and says: "didn't it feel right?"

"It did, I don't know what went wrong, I'll try again?"

Sebastian nods and says: "Let's try angry again".

I nod and find another angry memory, this time its from my first school trip where my parents forgot to sign the form, so I wasn't allowed to come with the rest of my class, I was so mad, I didn't speak to my parents for a week, so all communication was trough Hermione, she hated it, she said she felt like an owl. I again think of a grizzly bear this time everything feels right and I have a 100% control of my transformation, and I transform into a big brown grizzly bear, I growl and stand up. I stay like that for a minute, and then transform back to my human form, just in time because Professor McGonagall comes in the room and asks: "Did I just hear a bear?"

"No professor"

Professor McGonagall: "I swear I heard something, what are you two even doing in here"

Sebastian: "We are just studying"

Professor McGonagall: "Then carry on"

Professor McGonagall leaves and Sebastian says: "Well that was a close one, maybe try a smaller animal next time"

I nod and Sebastian says: "Sadness"

I take a deep breath and close my eyes to find a memory, it doesn't take long before a memory pops up, it's a memory from when I was 10 years old and Hermione was started at Hogwarts and I was alone for the first time, I feel the tears in my eyes, but I take another deep breath and think about a raven, a tear fall down my cheek as I transform, I fly around the room with tears running down my feathers, I land and think about how nice it was to hug Hermione again when she was home again, and when I remember that I transform back into my human form.

With tears running down my cheeks Sebastian hugs me and says: "That was amazing, but maybe we should continue another day"

I nod and slowly let go of the hug. I wipe the tears away from my face when Sebastian hands me my wand back and ask: "What kind of core does your wand have?"

"It has a dragon core."

Sebastian: "Cool and what kind of wood"

"It's a wand made from Red oak wood with a dragon core 11 ¾" and slightly yielding flexibility."

Sebastian: "That seems like a powerful wand"

"Maybe it is."

Sebastian: "I will head off, but amazing work today, lets do that another time"

"Yeah, it was fun, let's do it again."

He gives me a quick hug and then disappears.
