A good Beginning (Harry Potter)

Chapter 5: Anamagi

Harry is now 5 years old and his lessons with Dumbledore have made him an extremely powerful wizard already; he can summon things with his mind and he produce fire, water and air with his bare hands. He has found the aspect of air extremely useful because he has founds ways to make himself float or fall from extreme heights and slowly break his fall because of the way he is magically manipulating the air around him.

He has also become a lot more observant than most children his age, after some assessments Dumbledore soon realised that Harry has the capacity to store the same amount of information as 10 brains, and he can store somethings in his memory by only scanning the page extremely quickly. His mother's thirst for knowledge has rubbed off on him whilst his father's natural talent of flying on a broom has become very present as well.

Harry's spiritual magic is also coming along, he can now perform a full corporeal patronus at the age of 5, which has never been done before. Sirius and James have currently started their anamagi lessons with the boy as well; he has been forced to have a mandrake leaf in his mouth and use the mandrake leaf after a month to make a potion which determines which animal you can turn into.

After Sirius has finished staring the potion, he hands it to the child whilst James, Remus and Sirius all watch in trepidation. Harry closes his eyes and slowly takes a sip of the Luke warm liquid; as soon as the liquid is swallowed, Harry's eyes shoot wide open, as he begins to recite the animal which he sees

'What do you see Harry?' James asked.

'A phoenix, a lion, a puma, a bear, a grindolow' Harry replied as he began to come back to reality.

'How are you seeing multiple creatures?' Sirius questioned

'It's because of his power levels of course!', Remus said, 'I think that we should maybe ask Dumbledore about this'. James and Sirius nodded at this suggestion as they walked him to the fire place by the entrance of Potter manor; they all walked in and Sirius grabbed some floor powder and shouted 'Minerva McGonagall's office!'.

Harry felt himself spinning and going through all of the classrooms in Hogwarts before arriving with a thump in Professor McGonagall's office. She looked up slightly flustered and irritated.

'Sirius Black, James Potter! What have I told about coming into my office without my permission! Remus I assume that you had nothing to do with this decision?!' she scolded.

'I'm sorry Minerva, it was actually me suggestion that we all come here' Remus replied

'And why is that?'

'Minny, remember when you thought that I was a transfiguration prodigy', James began to speak, 'Well it turns out that Harry here sees 5 different animals when he takes the potion for his animals form!'

'Is that so', She replied curiously, 'well if he makes it into Gryffindor I'm sure that we'll be able to win the house cup with ease' McGonagall was now beaming at Harry

'Were here to see Albus, Minny' Sirius said, he always took pleasure in calling her Minny.

'I've told you over a hundred times not to call me Minny!', she retorted, 'Harry dear, why don't you go to the library and read some books on animagi and when you've picked out a good one, come back to my office and read it for a bit, your godparents, father, professor Al and I are going to have a little chat' McGonagall said in a sweet tone.

Harry nodded, left the room and made his way to the library; he turned the corner and could see the large doors which lead to the library, but something else caught his attention. 3 Slytherin 7th years pushed a blond Ravenclaw, who was presumably in the same year as them, against the wall with all of their wands against her throats.

'I've told you before you filthy mudblood, if you don't do my transfiguration, we'll hurt you horribly' the boy in the middle growled while the other two jeered at his comment. The girl was now whimpering in fright as the middle boy stepped back and hissed 'Sectumsempra!'. As the girl cried, blood began to spurt from her chest and limbs; Harry had already seen enough, he sent his phoenix pratonus to the girl so that it could heal her and raised the boys in the air. 

The boys bodies had now reached the ceiling and they began to become swallowed by the ceiling until only their faces showed; Harry made a small tornado by his ankles and it lifted him up into the air making him become parallel  to the faces of the bullies. He reached his small hands on the cheeks of the centre bully, closed his eyes and imagined a very long beard, when he opened his eyes the bully was sporting the exact beard he was imagining. He copied the process for the other bullies, lowered himself back down to the ground and began to tug on the beards.

All of the Slytherin boys yelped in pain as the 5 year old made them pay for what they did to the Ravenclaw girl; the Ravenclaw girl was now fully better got up and joined the laughing crowd. Harry let go of the beards and gave some other people a go; he walked over where the girl was and began to ask:

'Are you okay?' but before he could finish his question, the girl knelt down and hugged.

'Thank you', she said, 'what's your name little boy?'

'Harry Potter'

'Harry Potter?!' the girl questioned in a very loud and shocked manner; everyone had now turned around to see why she had almost shrieked the name. Harry turned to everyone, a bit startled as to why they were reacting so shocked, almost taking it out of proportion. He lifted the jet black bangs on his forehead to reveal a scarlet scar and walked into the library and grabbed the first book on animagi that he could find, before running out and back to McGonagall's office. His parents always told him that he was famous and a big deal, but he never truly realised the extent to all of it, at least not until today.
