Chapter Six

Chapter Six


The next couple of days she eagerly waited for the results on the tryouts. Her next transfiguration class helped her waylaid her anxiety on whether she was choses or not.

Professor McGonagall entered the room to stand at the front with the students assignments on what animal they would like to become at her side. “Now, let’s see if any of your predictions are true shall we. Now I have before me an ancient amulet that will forsee what animal you would become. Not all of you will have this ability. The students that do have a vision will go on to advanced transfiguration. I will cyou you up one at a time to have a seat while I place the amulet around your neck. Ron Weasley...come up here and have a seat.” She said as she pointed to the stool. Ron looked around nervously to Harry and Hermione, then went up to sit on the stool. She placed the amulet around his neck, “Now, close your eyes and place your hand on the amulet.”

The class was silent as they began to hear sound, then gradually to become louder. They all looked up as they heard a screech and a large golden eagle soared above their heads. Ron opened his eyes and gave a relieved smile.

“It looks like your happy with that Mr. Weasley, as you should be. An eagle is a proud and noble bird.” Ron went back to his seat relieved that he had an animal appear, and that it was a bird.

Professor then called Hermione up. She placed the amulet around her neck where she put her hand on top of it. She closed her eyes ‘Please, let there be something there.’, she thought. She heard a loud roar as a beautiful African tiger seemed to leap out of mid-air to land in front of her. It’s black stripes boldly showing against the orange of the fur.

McGonagall wasn’t expecting such an animal from Hermione. “Excellent Miss Granger, the tiger is a beautiful and regal looking animal.” She then called the other students up one by one, leaving Harry and Draco last. Out of the other students, there were four others that were able to see their animal form. There was an owl, a red panda, a bear, and a snake.

She then called Harry up for his turn. Hermione and Ron crossed their fingers as Harry closed his eyes. After a few short minutes, they heard a low growl as a large black and grey wolf with green eyes leaped out, growling at them, until it seemed to dissolve before their eyes like the others did.

Next it was Draco’s turn. He sat down and placed his haner ter the amulet and closed his eyes. A low growl and a roar broke the silence as a large white tiger leapt out in front of Draco. It’s coat gleamed white making the dark brown stripes bolder and darker. It then leaped up where it disappeared.

McGonagall was silent for a few moments as she gazed at Draco. “Well, that is a first in the years I’ve been teaching about animagi, to have two students that have almost the same type of animal.” Hermione looked over to Draco who was also looking at her, both wondering why.

The Professor cleared her throat. “Okay for those of you that have seen your counterpart, you will be taking Advanced Transfiguration with a Professor Fisk, who also works for the Ministry of Magic. You will have these classes twice a week starting next week. Now class dismissed, you may go.”

The students filed out of the classroom talking amongst themselves. As this was their last class of the day and the week, they hurried to their dorms to change out of their uniforms before dinner.
