... animagus. Well, it is either that or you brewed the potion wrong. Once you know what animal you are to be then it is easier to change into that animal because you can picture it in your mind and you will know your end goal." "For centuries, before the potion was invented becoming an animagus was even more difficult because no one knew what animal they were to be. Therefore, the process took even longer. Oh, they had a spell but it was not very accurate most of the time. Some of the ones who could never be an animagus wasted years of their lives trying to be one. If they had the potion like we do now they could have known that it was not possible for them and could have moved on and used their time more wisely." "So what will the potion do to me and where do I get it?" "You will need to take it before you go to bed. You will then have a vision that will either show you the animal you are to become or there will be no animal and only you will be there as yourself. When you wake up you will remember the animal vividly. It is that image that you will use to work on changing yourself into. Where you get the potion is questionable." "Questionable?" "Yes, you see normally I would have Severus prepare the potion for any student who is trying to become an animagus. That way the potion is guaranteed to be prepared correctly by a potions master.

"That is acceptable to me. I definitely do not want Professor Snape knowing about this…at all." "Somehow I knew that would be your answer" she said with a smile. "Where do I find the recipe?" "Here is the next book for you to read. You actually do not have to read all of this one since it mostly repeats what you have already read but the recipe for the animagus potion is in here. That part you will need. Now do you have a place to privately brew the potion? If not, I can provide you with one." "Yes, ma'am, I have a place. That will not be a problem." "Good, then I will need to meet with you again after you have had your vision. I will give you the first steps you need to work on. When do you plan on taking the potion?" "Is there enough time to brew it tonight and take it?" "Yes, plenty of time." "Then I will take it tonight." "Excellent! I will see you tomorrow afternoon." "Thank you Professor. I appreciate all your help." "Sweet dreams, Mr. Potter. I can hardly wait until tomorrow." Harry left McGonagall's office and headed straight back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Some of his friends were studying and others were chatting. He told them what he had to do and left them to go to his trunk and use his new potions lab. Harry opened the book and skipped over the parts he had already covered until he ...
