Chapter 37: Harry's 'Detention'!

{Transfiguration Professor's Office, Hogwarts}

{2nd Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

~Tick~~Tick~~Tick~

Harry was nervous as he stared at Professor Minerva who calmly made a cup of tea. He wanted to apologize but the woman in front of him had an oppressive aura so he simply waited for things to calm down. The magical outburst he had was interesting, he couldn't even remember the time he had last gone through something like that.

"Here, drink this. This has a calming drought mixed in it which is a potion that will keep you from wrecking my office." Minerva spoke as she pushed the cup of tea in front of him.

Harry blushed as he accepted the cup and spoke, "I'm sorry about that..." His words fell short as he didn't know how to explain what happened.

Minerva nodded as she helped him, "What you went through was an explosion of accidental magic, admittedly on a larger scale than most but your mana reserves are far larger than any student in scale as well."

~Tak~~Tak~~Tak~

Harry nodded as he looked down at the brown fluid in his cup, he sipped the tea, and other than a slightly bitter taste the forceful sense of calm that returned to him did stop his nervous gittering.

Minerva sighed as Harry finally calmed down and the noise he was making with his legs stopped. She kind of felt a little pity for the poor boy, getting to know the story about his family on the front page of a newspaper would not be a good story.

"I can understand your confusion. To get to know more about what happened to your family this way justifies your anger. I was going to talk to you about it soon but I wanted you to settle in first." Minerva sighed, she looked at Harry's and noticed she had his undivided attention.

"I taught your Mother and Father, they were some of the finest students that I taught in my tenure as a Transfiguration Professor. Your Father, although a handful was a genius in Transfiguration, and although your Mother was a dab hand at it as well, her focus was more on Charms." Minerva spoke and saw that Harry had a small smile on his face, his tense shoulders had eased.

"So if you had any questions I could answer them for you." Minerva offered and Harry almost jumped at the chance to ask questions. His origin had always been the biggest mystery to him, having grown up without one, family was the most important thing to him. And it was this exact fact that caused him to change his question at the last possible moment.

"The newspaper talked a lot about Rigel Black and it mentioned Parselmouth being hereditary?..." Harry started but he left the question remain open-ended. Seeing the reaction of the whole school he didn't want to reveal that he was a Parselmouth as well. But the need to know if he had a close relative in this new unknown world was clawing at him.

"Rigel?" Minerva was surprised at the turn this conversation took but her face did contort a little after she thought about what she had read.

'Those idiots at The Daily Prophet would push him more to the conservative side.' Minerva's focus was on abolishing the Hogwarts education bill and for that, she needed Rigel's votes, especially since he now might hold more votes than before.

"No, don't buy into the ramblings of those idiots at The Daily Prophet. Yes, Parselmouth is a Hereditary trait but he isn't a Dark Lord that the papers claim to be..." She vented before she calmed down and elaborated. "I was the first one to meet Rigel just like Hagrid came to meet you. Rigel was living in a muggle orphanage and he knew nothing about the magical world. A second-year Slytherin student is way more likely to be the next Dark Lord than him." 

Minerva huffed as she mumbled a few more choice words that Harry didn't listen to, his thoughts were now focused on the information that she had revealed. Rigel Black was an orphan just like him and they might have shared much more in their parentage since the ability to talk to snakes was incredibly rare in the magical world.

With more questions about their connection than answers, Harry nodded absentmindedly at Prof. McGonagall. The older witch smiled at him and offered, "If you have any more questions then you can come to my office anytime. Right now let's go, the rest of the students would already be here." 

Harry nodded as he noticed that he could hear several mumblings coming from outside her office. Prof. McGonagall gave him a small piece of paper that was titled Timetable for the first years as she spoke, "Let's go or we're going to be late."

"Okay, Thank you, Prof. McGonagall." Harry thanked the older witch as he genuinely smiled at her as he put the timetable in his robes. Both of them walked to the door and when Harry opened it, he noticed that almost all of the students from Gryffindor and Slytherin were there.

He bowed his head as he swiftly made his way to the back row where Ron was madly waving his hand.

"You okay dude? Professor Pomphrey distributed our class schedule, I grabbed an extra for you and your bag." Ron spoke as he extended another timetable toward him and pointed to his bag that was lying on the table.

"Thanks," Harry spoke as he took the second timetable and put it into his robe pockets as well. He sat down on the table and looked at Prof. McGonagall who was looking at the time.

His eyes whirled around to the other end of the room as he stared at Rigel who was sitting with a pretty blond witch. He looked away seconds later as Ron started asking about what happened. As he gave him a short version of what happened his thought couldn't help but plan how he would talk to Rigel without being ostracized by his newly found friends.

Chapter 38: Transfiguration Class! Part-1

{Transfiguration Classroom, Hogwarts}

{2nd Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

...

"Are you okay?" Daphne asked as she looked at Rigel. The boy had been surprisingly calm as he read through the detailed reports where his name was being dragged through the mud. 

"Yeah, a little excited, did you know what the transfiguration spell is, I couldn't find it in our books," Rigel replied. He looked entirely unconcerned about the reports.

'He's not that much of an idiot to take things like public opinion lightly. Does he have a plan?' She thought.

"Yeah, unlike charms or Potions, the spells used in Transfiguration can be a little more dangerous so other than the theory you would not find anything useful in the textbooks. Everything would be taught to us in the class." Daphne replied. Rigel nodded as he looked back as Prof. McGonagall walked out of the room with Harry Potter in tow.

The savior of the wizarding world looked a little better than he did in the morning, his outburst in the Great Hall did shock Rigel but he would not blame him considering the photo of his Godfather was printed on the front page of the newspaper.

'At least the story remained the same, with Sirius in Azkaban the tragic ending to the golden friendship between the Marauders would have remained canon. I don't need to touch any of that for a little while though so everything is okay for now.' Rigel though. He noticed that Harry was staring at him for a little bit before he stopped.

'If the Boy-Who-Lived came after me for revenge then this would become quite cliche.' Rigel thought as he looked at Minerva. Her green dress was cut in a deep v-neck displaying a good amount of cleavage with a black bra. Whoever was responsible for the revolution in wizarding clothing needed to be given a raise or two.

While the older girls wore a more translucent shirt under their robes his year hadn't caught onto the fashion trends yet. He was looking forward to that as much as he was looking forward to Prof. McGonagall's animagus transfiguration. What he was hoping for didn't happen though he received a slight nod from the Professor.

'Don't tell me because of Harry we don't get to see the animagus transformation,' Rigel thought. The story was already changing a little as the ramifications of the age difference pulled the story away from canon. In canon, Ron and Harry overslept because frankly they were 11 and their sense of responsibility was next to nothing. 

'Here though not only did they wake up on time, they went to breakfast where Harry saw the misfortune of his family plastered on the front page.' Rigel thought. The system or whatever was in control of the story before had pulled canon events together with forceful interventions but now that he was in the world, the carefully crafted web was starting to unravel.

'Now not only Harry knows about Sirius Black 2 years early, but I have to deal with his questions as well. And wasn't Harry's first class potions, why are our timetables different than canon.' Many questions and changes 

~Chime~ ~Thud~

The clock struck 9:00 and with a wave of her wand, Prof. McGonagall closed the doors. Her back as straight as ever she gave everyone a stern look and the little murmurs that were going around stopped. She looked at the quiet classroom in satisfaction before she began, "Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts..."

"...Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. You have been warned." Her starting speech was the same as canon much to Rigel's relief but the detail was a lot more in-depth as she began her demonstration. She took a step back until she was right beside her desk and with almost a playful wave the desk... transformed. 

Rigel didn't have a correct way to describe the process as it looked like reality was shifting. The desk collapsed into itself, its texture vanished, its color changed and a moment later a pig stood in its place. The process was... magical, it looked like a desk one second and a pig the next. The whole change wasn't instantaneous but there was too much to see that he couldn't describe.

At the same time, his mana sense gave him an entirely different answer, the desk before had been plain, devoid of any mana with but the most basic runes etched onto it. After the spell changed, molded its shape and structure into a pig, its whole surface, and even from the inside, it was brimming with mana.

'The change is a lot more thorough than a surface-level illusion, the desk is really a pig right now, but is it alive? Surely not?' Rigel thought.

"What I did was an Inanimate-to-Animate transfiguration. There are 5 kinds of Transfiguration that you would study in my classroom during your 7 years of schooling. At the start of your first year, we will begin with small things and Inanimate-to-Inanimate transformation. But as you get more familiar with the whole process your understanding of Transfiguration would increase and we would attempt your first at both Animate-to-Inanimate and Inanimate-to-animate Transfiguration." Prof. McGonagall spoke and she waved her wand again. 

The Class looked at the changing pig/desk in awe and after a moment's silence, she continued. "To achieve any form of Transfiguration there are some things you need to keep in mind. Firstly, Intent. Most of the Transfiguration spells, except for the first few ones in each genre are done using generalized spells. There are several reasons for this but I'll explain them when we begin learning generalized spells. But for the most part, Intent is the key ingredient that would allow you to force something to change its very nature..." Prof. McGonagall kept on going with her lecture.

"Secondly, Wand Movements and Incantation. While the Intent shapes your target, these two are important to form the spell in the first place. A mistake in wand movement would make it so that even if you are focused on the current thing, your results would differ from what you want."

"And Lastly, Practice. No matter how good your transfiguration would turn out to be, without sufficient practice you would not be able to master the spell, and in tense situations like during the practical portion of an exam you might fail to get a desired result." Professor McGonagall finished her continuous lecture. She waved her wand and different alphabets appeared behind her on the board.

"Note down these symbols for now until we begin." Prof. McGonagall started as the class erupted in motion. Rigel was a little late as he was staring at the desk that still had a lot of lingering mana that remained and was slowly diffusing into thin air.
