Chapter 209 - 208- Metamorphmagus (part 2)

HARRY'S POV

Saying goodbye to Luna who left to be with her father for Christmas and the twins who left as to work in Wonder Alley, Harry and Nagini were left by themselves for the holiday.

In the time since their bonding, the two of them learned to feel comfortable around each other.

Nagini had an easier time, since the bond seem to affect her so that she want to be as much as possible around Harry, changing to her snake form and making herself small before joining him wherever he went, had to adjust to being unable to be inside SWOR as a human and unable to communicate with Harry as both the ritual that gave her a human body and Parseltongue were based on arithmetically incorrect rituals, while Harry, who had harder time instead, learned to enjoy her company and witty jokes while in classes and outside of it, livening the Mandan parts of life in times when Luna wasn't there.

With them being together most of the time, she was the one friend that knew everything about his plans, and she approved.

"People are cruel, to nature, to animals, and more than all, to other people." She said when she explained why she doesn't care. "I've seen what mundane people can do to magical people out of ignorance and what magical people can do to mundane out of anger, I've seen wars and technology and magic that destroy entire landscapes with a single sentence. I just got my life back, and when you finish with this school I can finally be in this form forever, why should I care about other people?" Harry had gained a partner who knows most of his secrets that day, and she kept helping him by suggesting ideas and poking holes in his plan, forcing him to improve it.

For example, She was the one to think about having Lucius and Severus as the two leaders of the magical world.

It was why, when he finally was ready to do the ritual on himself, after checking the vitals of Bellatrix, making sure the scans were fine and doing a check on her mind by deep diving into it, with the only side affects being that her transformation talent is slightly related to her emotions, he asked Nagini to be outside of the room and wait for him, as he was very nervous.

Standing in the middle of a runic circle he has drown multiple times before, and with the needed creatures around him, Harry poured the entirety of his magic into the circle, putting even more when the ritual begun to send the magical energy of the creatures around him into Harry's body.

The circle of sending magic continued as pain started to fill his body, growing stronger and stronger as Harry started to see visions.

The third stage was called many different things throughout history beside fire stage.

The body forging stage, the stage of choice, the foundation establishment stage...

Every single one of the people who reached this stage and wrote about that talked about visions and dreams they had when entering the stage.

To have a complete breakthrough you need to have two visions/dreams.

Bellatrix, who spent time in Azkaban, only had one dream on account of her body not reaching the necessary requirement before she did the ritual, making her magic having to save her while undergoing the transformation and it beings stuck between the second and third stage, instead of changing from liquid into 'fire', it changed into boiling water.

Not that it doesn't have its own benefits.

She will have the biggest amount of energy sometime in the second stage can have, faster speed in casting, and while having a worse control over her magic than someone in the second stage of magic as it's the stage that focus on control, will have her magic more responsive to her emotion, like someone in the first stage, making her capable of saving her life with accidental magic, and able to learn basic wandless magic easier, though she will never have the control necessary for entirely doing wandless magic.

Harry's first vision was a lot like how Bellatrix described hers.

It was the four animals fighting for him to choose their side in a fight.

With Bella, he told her to have the bogart win before eating it because the ghoul can't win and the two dragons have too much magic for her body to handle, but his situation was different.

Instead of choosing a side, Harry killed all of them, taking the bodies and put it one on top of the other and transfigure them into his body together.

He used the Chinese dragon as the basis for his blood vessels and meridians, the western dragon for his bones and muscles, the bogart into the organs and blood, and the ghoul into the skin and heir.

When the new body that looked exactly like His appeared, he touched it and suddenly returned to the SWOR.

He could instantly feel the change of his body.

He was stronger, his magic was flowing outside of his blood, and when looking at his hands, with a single thought they transformed into bigger, smaller or different color.

He has done it, his body finally reached the third level, and with a new vision appearing in front of his eyes, it is time for his magic to do the same.
