Resorting of Gryffindor

13

He turned back to normal and took a seat. "My animagus is a Smoke Fox. It's a magical creature. Meaning some of the powers kind of transfer to my normal day-to-day form. Because of my animagus, my body temperature has risen, I can condense it to certain areas. I also cough ash in this form and sneeze ambers as a fox. So far I have not realized anything particularly dangerous about my form, although many people seem to differ. I got attacked by Professor Vince during the ball, and he was taken away. It's kind of why I'm in a hurry to ward my place so not even Aurors can come inside unless I want them to." Harry explained. 

Molly, Ginny, and George seemed very impressed. "I knew you were powerful. Even when you were a little boy. A magical creature as your animagus suits you. Just how Dumbledore turned into a Phoenix and Grindlewald into a Hippogriff." Molly agreed.

"I'm happy for you, mate. Although you'll need some protection. I've got some ideas for a new alarm system that I've been meaning to talk to you about. Since you are my trusty business partner." George told him.

Ginny couldn't help but feel happy for Harry. Mostly because his creature was perfect for nearly any situation. If he were ever captured, he would be able to escape.

Arthur, on the other hand, didn't say anything. He just continued to eat his food, not looking at Harry.

The others looked at Arthur, wanting to know his opinions.

"Pretty cool, father. Right? I mean as an Auror that would be a great asset. There would be only one way to catch him, and if no one else knew how to capture him, then Fumus would be almost invincible." Ron pointed out, trying to get a reaction out of him.

Ron patted Harry's back, causing him to feel a tickle in his throat.

Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a white handkerchief, and coughed into it for a moment. After, it was blackened with ash.

"Great. Now I've got to wash this one." Harry sighed and folded it back into his pocket.

Arthur stood up and walked over to Harry. "Harry. You are like a son to me. But I'm going to have to ask you to leave." He told him.

Everyone seemed shocked that Arthur could say that. Harry looked at him, but nodded. He didn't want to argue with Arthur. It was evident that Arthur was apart of the group who knew of the creature.

"I'll leave the house, but can you please tell me what's so bad about me. I've endured attacks by Professor Vince throughout the semester, and I have no idea why. Could you please just tell me what makes me dangerous?" Harry begged. 

Arthur thought about it for a moment. "I may have made an oath, but not a vow. Follow me, and I'll tell you. I just can't have you in the house. It would be a liability." He agreed.

Harry followed Arthur outside of the house, and the others watched from the window as Arthur lead him off of the Burrow limits.

"The Smoke Fox that you can become has a unique trait. It is the only known thing that can effectively and easily control Fiendfyre. The animagus that you become was actually the race that created Fiendfyre, which wizards tried to replicate, but couldn't contain. The reason certain people are afraid of you, is because you can create Fiendfyre and control it. So if you wanted to kill someone, or burn down the Ministry, for example, then you could. And no one would be able to stop you." Arthur explained. 

Harry soaked up the information. He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Can you tell me how I create the Fiendfyre? If I knew, then I'd be able to know what not to do. I don't want to accidentally summon it and get myself in trouble." Harry asked of him.
