Chapter 12: Harry… Dark or Light?


Harry woke up very happy the next morning, he thought about the scared look on Snape’s face and became even happier. Off course he didn’t know that his eyes were red like those of Voldemort whenever he was really mad. He slowly got out of his bed and looked to his right side to see that Ron was still sleeping, he walked to Ron’s bed and poured some water on his face. Ron jumped up screaming “ BLOODY HELL” Harry was doubled up with laughter and when Ron saw what had happened he turned to Harry, “Harry that wasn’t funny mate” Harry shrugged and walked out of the room. Ron quickly got dressed and followed Harry downstairs.

When Harry got to the common room Hermione was already there waiting for the both of them, “morning Harry” said a very happy looking Hermione, “morning yourself” Harry walked over to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek, Hermione looked at Ron but Ron just looked away like nothing happened. They walked to the great hall and when they entered they noticed that Dumbledore was missing from the teachers table. “Do you think something happened?” Harry asked, his two friends looked worried but didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile in Dumbledore’s office…..

Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk feeling older than he had in years, he heard a knock on the door and said: “Please come in Severus” Snape entered and turned to the headmaster, “Albus, I’ve told you what happened with the boy after our conversation yesterday, have you thought about the matter?” Dumbledore put his hands together and looked at Snape with a piercing look the twinkle in his eyes as bright as ever, “ I have indeed Severus, and after that I have done some research about young mister Potter, It turns out that his powers have increased because he has reached the age of sixteen”

Snape off course knew that a wizard or witch would get more magical power when they reached the age of sixteen or seventeen. “But the power increase in Potter worries me Albus, his powers are just so unbalanced” Dumbledore nodded and said that it was Harry’s time to choose the path of light or darkness. Dumbledore looked at Snape again and said: “I’m afraid I have more news about Mr. Potter, his powers are now about half of my own but I have discovered that he is only at a ten percent of his total strength” Severus looked at Dumbledore in shock and said: “ You have to be joking Albus, you are the strongest wizard alive since Merlin himself, How can Potter be that strong?” Dumbledore looked over his spectacles at Severus and said in a grim voice: “I’m afraid I’m not wrong, I didn’t believe it myself at first so I checked it four times and every time the same answer came to me” “But… if he’s ten times stronger than you that means he’s also twice as strong as the great Merlin himself” Snape said to the headmaster.

Dumbledore nodded and sighed, “I just hope Harry will stay on the path of the light because if Harry goes dark than there’s nobody who can stop him” Snape nodded and looked scared suddenly, “Albus, is it likely that he’ll turn evil?” Dumbledore was silent for a long time before he finally said: “Harry is a nice person and has a lot of good in his heart but after all that has happened to him and the sudden loss of his godfather he can be easily turned to the dark side, we have to help Harry in any way we can so that he won’t become evil” Snape nodded and asked if he could be excused, Dumbledore offered one last lemon drop and than Snape left his quarters. Dumbledore looked at Fawks and asked: “do you think Harry will turn on us?” Fawks just sang a beautiful song and flew to Dumbledore’s shoulder, Dumbledore smiled and said: “I hope your right my friend”

Harry was heading toward Transfiguration whit Ron and Hermione when Snape walked past and gave Harry a cold glare, Harry just looked back at Snape and was determined not to look away if Snape didn’t. Snape merely smirked and walked away. Harry and his friends entered the transfiguration classroom and took their usual seats at the front, moments later Professor McGonagall entered the classroom and told them that she would be giving them a potion to determine if anybody had the chance of being an animagus. Harry smiled and hoped he had a animagus form. Professor McGonagall called the students to the front of the class one by one and would say a spell and than a smoky figure would rise in the shape of your animagus form. “If you don’t have an animagus form than please return to your seat, everyone that does have one please stand next to my desk” Professor McGonagall said. She than began calling students, Neville, Dean, Ron and Seamus all didn’t have an animagus form. Harry was getting really anxious to know of he had one.

Finally Professor McGonagall called Harry’s name and he walked up to the front of the class to sit on the chair in front of her. She pointed her wand at him and said in a soft voice: “Animus Revalos” Suddenly the whole class went silent as they saw what happened, instead of one cloud of smoke forming above Harry’s head there were three clouds. Professor McGonagall was shocked but continued to hold the spell curious about the forms that Harry would have, The first one was that of a black panther, the second was that of a Phoenix but it was the last one that scared the entire class including Professor McGonagall, it turned out to be a Basilisk. “Professor McGonagall gasped and told Harry to report to her every Wednesday evening at seven to practice becoming an animagus, she then told everyone the class was over.

Professor McGonagall was lost in thoughts about what happened in the class, it was rare for a person to have more than one animagus form but their was only one known case of a Basilisk and that was Salazar Slytherin himself. But what shocked her even more was the form of the phoenix, it was said to be impossible to have an animagus form of a magical creature even Merlin himself had only two animagus forms and neither of those had been a magical creature , but somehow Harry had the managed to get three different animagus forms and even one of a phoenix, she decided that this was a really rare case, and that she had to inform Dumbledore immediately, she left the classroom in a rush and almost ran all the way to Dumbledore’s chambers. One she got there she told the password and stepped up the rotating stairway to the headmasters office, once the staircase stopped she knocked and when she heard Dumbledore say “Come in Minerva” she entered and stood across the headmaster breathing heavily and immediately started telling him about what happened in her lesson, Dumbledore seemed very interested in her story and didn’t ask question’s until she was finished. “Are you sure his form was a phoenix, Professor McGonagall?” She nodded and Dumbledore sighed. She looked confused and asked Dumbledore what was wrong, he looked at her and told her the same story he had told Professor Snape this morning. She looked shocked for a moment and then said: “You must be wrong Headmaster, Mr. Potter can’t be twice as strong as Merlin himself” Dumbledore smiled at her and said: “ That’s exactly what Severus said but I’m afraid that it’s true” She looked very pale and said that she needed a rest. He nodded and said that they could continue this another time. She left his office looking rather pale and worried, but she was now worried about the fact that Harry was so strong instead of worrying about his animagus form. She reached her quarters and decided to turn in early this evening.

Harry was sitting on the couch in the common room, Ron had already gone to bed complaining about a headache and Hermione sat on Harry’s lap, Harry and Hermione just had a very long snogging session and were in desperate need of some air. Harry smiled at Hermione and kissed her lightly on the lips before standing up and saying it was about time to go to bed. Hermione agreed and they shared one more kiss before finally goin their separate ways to their beds.
