33 `Reasons's

The year started the same, with the Sorting Hat sorting First Years into their respective houses. Ginny was sorted into Gryffindor, Luna into Ravenclaw, Cho into Hufflepuff and so on. ``Children! Professor Dumbledore has a few announcements for all of you.'' Jack didn't know how McGonagall did it, without even a amplifying charm, she was able to make the whole Great Hall quiet. ``First of all, I would like to introduce you to your new Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart.'' Remembering the buffoon teacher he was going to have this year, Jack sighed indignantly and missed the rest of Dumbledore's announcements. After the students were dismissed, they made their way to their respective houses and turned in for the night. ``So Jack, what are we going to explore tonight?'' asked Ron with a drink in his hand a burger in the other. The group was currently in Magi Dio and were having a midnight snack and watching a movie, ``Well, we aren't going on any big adventures until we do a little bit of training.'' Jack had just finished his sentence when Hermione spoke as well, ``and you are not going anywhere today. We just arrived at Hogwarts and I don't want us to miss any of our classes tomorrow.'' Ron nodded his head in agreeance with Hermione and everyone laughed at his expense.

The next few days passed in boredom, they spent their time either in classes, asking the Teachers very advanced and high level questions that left the rest of their classmates in daze or in the library's forbidden section. As they were all exceptional geniuses and most of them had exemplary behaviour in class, they easily gained permission to enter the forbidden section. ``Man, I can't believe I was planning on not coming this year. Just this library alone would be a good enough reason to come back not to mention the Teachers.'' Everyone agreed with Neville's words but they all knew that there was another reason for the change in mood. ``That is true but I feel that there is another reason that you have changed your mind Neville, a reason that has the name, Luna!'' Neville and Luna's faces turned beet red from Dean's words and the whole group was laughing at them when Neville retaliated, ``Oh Yeah! There were a lot of other people that changed their minds as well!'' the group hurriedly restrained him in fear of Neville blurting out their `reasons'. Everyone in the group had gained `reasons' to return, Harry had Ginny, Dean and Seamus were with Padma and Parvati and even Theo had gotten with Pansy Parkinson. All of whom were currently sitting with them in their group.

There was a moment of silence but ultimately Jack came to their rescue, `` Oh My! Look at this guys, I think I found a way to increase our training!'' normally everyone would sigh at the fact that they had more training especially the new members but right now they all were filled with joy at the provided segue. ``What is it Jack? we already found a way to increase our health and make our bodies stronger.'' Theo was referring to the knowledge they had found in the Black Library which they had combined with information from other sources and made the `Magician's Body Strengthening Technique' [pls help with the name]. The technique used the same principle as the Mana Control Training but they used the newfound knowledge of Wizard's Anatomy and used specific pathways to channel Mana to significantly boost the body's strength, defence, agility among other things. ``Yeah! And we already used the Nascent Soul Formation Technique to increase our Soul Strength!'' Daphne looked at Jack with proud eyes while saying that as he was the one to find the information and modify it to their use. ``stop, stop, stop! We are having the same problem as before! We can't go on mentioning our achievements, is that clear?!!''

The group looked at Jack and stuck out their tongues at him at once and they all burst out in laughter. Jack signed in defeat and smiled at his friends antics, one minute they were all so embarrassed they weren't speaking at all and in another minute they couldn't stop speaking and even praising themselves. Once the group finally quietened down Dean asked Jack in an apologetic tone, ``Come on Mate, we were just joking. Now tell us what new form of tor.. training you have for us?!'' Dean was about to say torture when Padma kicked his shin to the sight of which, everyone smiled and felt amused. ``Well, I found this book that explores the possibility of Transfiguring into a Magical Beast!'' the group collectively gasped in shock, it was common knowledge in the wizarding world that a wizard or witches Animagus Form was only limited to a common animals. But then they remembered who they were with and who they themselves were. They were with a once in a millennium genius and they themselves were geniuses as well. if there was a way to accomplish a impossibility, they would find it! ``So, what did you have in mind?!'' for the first time since they arrived in Hogwarts, they group was genuinely excited. Reading books was good and all but they knew, every time there was a new form of training, there was fighting involved! Jack stood up answered Seamus's question, ``well, the concept is there but we now need to bring it to life! The biggest danger in Animagus Transformation is the lack of will and Mana Control but we have both.''

Jack went on to explain his plan and the group were inwardly shocked but then they used their brains collectively and improved the plan by a thousandfold making the possible end result even greater!
