Chapter 208 - 207- Metamorphmagus (part 1)

Standing inside the runic circle in the middle of the SWOR, Harry looked around to make sure everything is in place.

Becoming a perfect metamorphmagus was finally with in reach and he had no plan at messing it up.

Differently from the rituals Harry did till now, this ritual is not about balancing something in a person, but adding something new to him, and as such It needs additional ingredients to be preformed.

To the north there was a conjured box with bogart in it in a runic circle of its own which will be sacrificed for its transformation ability.

To the west there was the body of a western dragon.

To the south there was a Chameleon Ghoul who was also there for its shape shifting ability, only its ability to actively choose what object should it transform to instead of the instinctive ability of the bogart is what made it a balance to the other creature.

Finally, to the east there was the body of a Chinese dragon.

When doing a ritual, the most important thing has to be balancing the ingredients while making sure the potency of the ingredients have a minimal decrease.

Using the Bogart would make Harry's body unstable and he used the shapeshifting ghoul to combat that while the bogart's no need for god would combat the hunger for human flash the ghoul has.

The dragons will compensate for the lack of strength and speed both the bogart and the ghoul possess, and each of them will also symbolize the combinations of paths Harry is going through as he will study everything around him.

Even the room in which he was inside was part of the ritual, the combination of blacksmithing of the goblins and runes of humans, magical creating and AI, every part of the ritual was calculated as not only was this a ritual He is about to perform on himself, this is a ritual that will determine his potential.

Looking at everything and making sure it's perfect, Harry yelled outside. "Bella!"

Bellatrix, who was waiting outside, walked in. "Is it ready?" He nodded and walked outside while she went and took his place.

"Thank you sir." She said as he was about to close the door.

"No, thank you." He closed the door.

Harry checked everyone of the prisoners and the only one who had the necessary magical powers to transform to the third level was Bellatrix, though she didn't have the necessary body, meaning she will forever be stuck at the beginning of the plasma level of magic, she was the perfect subject for the experiment, as Harry would never do something irreversible for his body without testing it first.

It took half an hour till a young Bellatrix came out of the room, her hair changing shape and color as she wished before settling on her black hair.

Looking at him, Bellatrix bowed.

"It went perfectly sir." Tears starting to fall from her eyes. "Not only did you get me out of Azkaban but you gave me a new chance with this, not to mention gave me the ability that was lost to my family for centuries! Thank you!"

"We need to run some tests before everything." Harry said, trying to ignore the fact that an incredibly attractive woman who looked in her early twenties is bowing to him while calling him sir and was programmed to do anything he asks for even as his hormones raged.

"Of course sir, what do you need of me?" She asked.

"Only for you to stand still." He said as he started to cast both healers' standard diagnostic spells and his own. The results were quickly remembered and he was planning on later reviewing them after uploading them to the computers for the AIs to review.

"What do you remember from the ritual?" He asked Bella.

"Well, after you went out I had all of my magic poured into the circle and it lighten up as energy returned to me only like hot metal being poured into me." She shuddered at that. "I screamed in pain even as I continued to pour the new energy in me back to the ritual circle, and I could hear the living creatures with me screaming as well.

The circle continued till eventually the ghoul and bogart died and with them My consciousness disappeared." She paused for a second to sort out her words.

"The next part was the dream you told me that would happen, where I stood in the middle of of the four creatures the ritual was made of, each whispering the benefits of taking his side, but I did as you told me and started natural as they fought, with me only occasionally helping the bogart as it killed and devoured the rest, and when it did, I killed it before eating it. When I finished eating, I woke up in SWOR, and I gained the ability to shape shift."

Harry nodded before saying "Change into a few animals." She complied and with the knowledge she had about animals from her time with the SLH changed into a dog, cat and a bear.

"Tell Voldemort to purchase more of those creatures in the next three days." Harry said barely able to contain his excitement (he had his golem have his rich servants [with the exception of Lucius] buy the creatures for him) when she nodded in understanding He summoned Dobby and popping back to Hogwarts.

By the time Christmas will pass he would be a shapeshifter.
