[HP] Subversion - Destined

As Dumbledore said, my Animagus form experience has not progressed at all, and even Sirius persuaded me to start again, but I have firmly established this image in my heart, and I can't completely give up the idea of ​​​​the eagle for a while. , maybe subconsciously afraid of becoming a snake?

On Christmas Eve, Mr. Arthur was finally discharged from St. Mungo's, and to celebrate they invited me to the Burrow.However, since the Ministry of Magic is going to test the defense system of Hogwarts, both Snape and Sirius are quite busy during the holidays. I feel uneasy and always have a feeling that something will happen.

The so-called scars are healed and the pain is forgotten. I have been immersed in learning the transformation of Animagus, and I almost forgot my connection with Voldemort. Until recently, Sirius was too busy to teach me, and the dream adaptation also encountered a bottleneck. Scars It started to hurt sharply, and Voldemort might be planning something again.

In the middle of the night, looking at the night outside the Burrow, I made up my mind that instead of worrying about Voldemort's unexpected behavior, it is better for me to really connect with his consciousness to explore the truth.Decided not to chant the mantra anymore, I lay down on the bed and urged myself to fall asleep, but I couldn’t fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I just took out the DA newsletter to pass the time 1995.12.31

……

00:45am Harry: "Who else is awake?"

00:46am Cedric: "Huh? It's so late and you haven't slept yet? Aren't you learning Animagus? It stands to reason that you won't suffer from insomnia?" (My Animagus progress is almost known to all DA core members of.)

00:47am Harry: "Yeah, but there's no clarity at all, it's annoying."

00:49am Cedric: "Actually, I think, if it wasn't an eagle, would your beast be a lion? The symbol of Gryffindor College."

Is it a lion?I was stunned, after all, it is the symbol of the whole academy, I never thought about it...

Lying on my back on the bed, I raised my arm and stared blankly at my hands. Could it be that the feeling in my dream is really this kind of strong and vigorous cat with four limbs?The illusion of longing to fly is actually just an instinctive desire to run like lightning... Occasionally, a little growl squeezed out of the throat is to warn the intruders to get out of the territory... Due to the too flamboyant mane, there is no need to frequently Hunting is just pacing lazily, or patrolling majesticly... I don't often use sharp claws well, because I rely on the bite force of the teeth to seal the throat of the prey...

The image in my heart became clearer and clearer, and memory after memory popped up out of nowhere as if the gate had been opened, as if I had already been familiar with it and studied it...

Limbs and limbs stepped on the soft snow steadily, the thick fur cut off the cold air of the severe winter, subconsciously shook his body, and shook off some of the thin snow.One step, two steps, the pads on the paws made the original heavy body silent.I don't know where I am, and I don't know where I'm going, I approach cautiously, the noisy "tearing" sound arouses the irritability in my body, the scene in front of me is getting more and more gray, as if there is a force pulling me involuntarily Falling into a darker abyss...

I shuddered suddenly, and my vision turned into a bloody red color at some point, and there was a dizzy hissing tone in my ears, snake language?I should be able to understand, why is it suddenly so strange?Sliding forward uncontrollably, without limbs, without fur, and bitingly cold all over.I suddenly realized that I was once again connected to Voldemort's mind, dragged here directly from the dream in the Animagus form.

I tried my best to clearly hear every sentence and every command, but I was unable to think because of the perspective of a snake, and I couldn't resist the instinct that penetrated into the flesh... The tragic desire for blood, bite, and prey Calling... the body circled around the prey, tightened, tightened again, the violently beating pulse fueled the boiling desire, the nerves became more excited, and the snake letter swallowed and sipped the terrifying breath in the air...

All of a sudden, I experienced the fear that Snape was talking about, the fear of becoming a snake, the fear of being completely controlled by Voldemort... No, I am not a snake!I will not become a snake!I can't be a snake!I can't be a snake! !I struggled violently trying to escape from the shackles of this body - I am a lion, not a snake, I don't want to become a tool controlled by Voldemort!

I felt my whole body trembling, frantically twisting and slapping the ground, a heart-piercing pain that made me want to scream, but what I spit out was a hissing sound—the more flustered I was, the more fearful my identity was— —Have I become a snake?No, you can't! !

"Nagini?!" "Get out of the way!" "My lord, what happened to her?!"...

Finally, I heard a human-like voice, as if the whole world became lighter in an instant, and the pain became unconscious, and then fell continuously...

I woke up suddenly from the bed, the clothes on my body were soaked in sweat, and the night wind blew, shivering with cold.Top-heavy fell off the bed, the pain of the scar on my forehead urged me that time was running out, deep down I longed so strongly for the Animagus to transform quickly, I couldn't bear it, and I couldn't wait any longer—I had to—— Right now - complete my transformation...

I don't know if I was discovered when I used the Floo network to get to the principal's office, and then I woke up several portraits of the principals of the past, and rushed out before they could react.Hogwarts was as quiet as a tomb, and I walked through the long corridors with my wand in my hand, without even realizing I was barefoot, skipping everything and heading straight for the Forbidden Forest...

Until surrounded by the breath of the Forbidden Forest, I stopped to catch my breath.There is a thick layer of fallen leaves under the intertwined trees that cover the sky and the sun. Even if there is no snow, a cool air still spreads from the soles of the feet to the whole body. The sound, there is no sound of any living body.

I leaned against the tree trunk, my toes were curled up with the cold, and the mantras I had learned by heart over the past few months kept flowing on the tip of my tongue, but I never uttered them.Tell yourself rationally, there is no one here, you are not really ready, you are doing a stupid thing now!But, I can't wait anymore...I can't wait anymore...

I don't know if my heart was beating violently due to nervousness or excitement. I grasped the wand tightly, almost embed it in my palm.Close your eyes, try to concentrate your thoughts more, let the figure, momentum, strength and speed be deeply engraved in your mind...

The invisible force pushes and fiddles with every syllable of the mantra, every word seems to be blurted out slowly, or it only exists in the throat.Gradually, I felt that the magic power in every cell became active, and as those characters jumped and danced, more and more gathered, converging into a torrent of power, reaching the top of my head and restraining my breathing...

Perhaps, there is something wrong... I have never felt such a huge and suffocating power, even if its final form has the title of the king of all beasts.But I can't stop, even if it's wrong from the beginning, the mobilization of magic power has been far beyond my control, and it has started to hit every inch of my body crazily-this is a strange experience, obviously losing all five senses , but clearly uses magic power to describe the magical changes of each part, as if I am no longer me, and as if I am still me...

It is almost difficult for the messy thoughts to maintain the obviously very firm shape, personality, and characteristics. The familiar syllables of the spell overflow in a strange way, as if there is a force in the dark manipulating the soul and shaping the body, causing a creepy dizziness... When the short incantation casts the last talisman, the magic power begins to condense and condense towards the heart, gradually climbs up, chokes in the throat, and keeps accumulating until a critical point——

"Roar——!!!" The strange roar came out with the excess energy, and the erratic soul was finally bound in a body, with a reassuring weight, heavy but belonging.The five senses were restored and sharpened, and the vision seemed to have changed. The darkness became brighter, but the surrounding scenery was blurred.

I squinted my eyes, my brain was dull and unwilling to think, my muscles and bones hadn’t moved for a long time, and I was sore and uncomfortable. I instinctively stretched my forelimbs and pulled my back back. There was a soft crackling sound of bones. I opened my mouth and yawned, and a low sound came out from the bottom of my throat. Hey, it's finally a lot more comfortable.Shaking the fur, I felt a little itchy in my head. I stretched out my head and rubbed against the tree trunk beside me, and my movements suddenly froze.

I succeeded?My Animagus succeeded? !Restraining my excitement, I straightened my chest, lowered my head and saw my furry paws in a vision that became clear at some point, and tried to lift a foreleg and step on it. The strange, familiar, novel, complex and contradictory feelings made me Get excited.Turning his head, he could see a part of his body behind him, which seemed to have golden or brown fur, and his tail was swaying instinctively, just in time to throw it into his line of sight.I tried to see a little more, but my body was twisted to the limit, my limbs twitched, and I almost lost my balance.

"Hey..." I shook my head again, the mane stretched all the way to my shoulders and chest, the shorter ones were messily raised, and the longer ones were swaying meekly.I arched my back to make an attacking form, and all the sharp claws on the claws shone out, which surprised me.I gritted my teeth and exhaled heavy air from my nostrils. I opened and closed my mouth several times, and I could clearly feel the strong force of my bite.

I can't see the whole picture of myself, but my body should be not small. I am an adult male lion—strange, I am still underage at human age, why did I become an adult male lion at the peak of my physical strength?

I lowered my head and arched the pile of clothes beside the tree. There might be something inappropriate, but I couldn't think of it for a while.It seems that after I turned into an animal, my thinking also became dull. I was immersed in the joy of Animagus's successful transformation. I didn't want to think complicatedly. I took small steps to adapt to my new body, and then ran faster and faster. A kind of excitement and The impulse prompted me to run wildly like an eagle eager to fly, and the surrounding scenery flashed quickly. I didn't know where I was running, but I just followed my instinct and fled in the forbidden forest.

But this place did not satisfy me. The protruding tree roots from time to time and the undulating terrain hindered my speed. Even if my endurance is strong, it is not enough to achieve the feeling of running and flying.I gradually slowed down, and roared a few times into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, shaking the ground so much that it shook off part of the snow accumulated on the dense branches and leaves, and it started snowing in the dark night.

Shaking the fur on his body vigorously, he was bored trying to find some prey to chase, but he didn't know what happened today, he didn't even see a Thestral.Suddenly there was a small sound drifting close, and I suddenly pricked up my ears to be alert. After listening for a long time, the sound disappeared again.Just when I thought I heard it wrong, the tip of my nose smelled the breath of magic—yes, it’s amazing. After I turned into a lion, I realized that magic also has a smell, like, a terrible burnt smell.

I wrinkled my nose and decided to look for the source as I had nothing to do. I have to say that animals have a very sensitive sense of smell. As a road idiot, I can clearly distinguish the direction of the smell.The closer you get, the more and more sounds you can hear. It turns out that I didn't hear wrong just now.Smugly flicking my tail, I continued to approach the fighting scene with light steps.

Who is fighting here in the middle of the night?Through the undergrowth, with the ability of the lion's night vision, I can see the situation in the field clearly.It seems that the duel is coming to an end, the two sides stand clearly, one side is Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick who I am very familiar with...well, and Umbridge...they are facing the Death Eaters ? !

In an instant, I felt the fur all over my body explode, and my tense back slowly arched, staring at the rotten and scorched flesh hidden in the cloak and mask.
