Chapter 56 : Result?
"Very good Percy, now, try to switch into your animagus form all by yourself, and then change back."
Percy nodded as closed his eyes. He remembered the feeling being a pegasus granted him. The wings, the muscles, the way his hooves hit the ground clacking their way around. Percy then pushed his magic forward, and slowly transformed.
Percy's wings burst out of his back tearing through his shirt. His pants tore as his legs turned into hooves, the muscles tearing apart the stitches.
Percy had successfully transformed into his animagus form, but his human clothes was torn apart.
"Figured this would happen," Hecate snapped her fingers and turned Percy back into his human form while fixing his clothes. "You forgot to vanish your clothes didn't you?"
Percy blushed, "I-I never did it before."
"I know. And that's we are doing this now. Again!"
One hour later Percy was ready. He closed his eyes and transformed himself into a pegasus. As his body grew bigger, his clothes vanished. He spread his wings proudly at the successful transformation. He then slowly reversed the process and turned human, pulling back his clothes from wherever magic had stored them.
Percy grinned, "Yes!"
Hecate clapped, "congratulations Percy, you are no officially an animagus!"
Percy grinned, "this is so cool! I can't wait to show Harry this!"
"Hm, well you might want to wait up on that, I still want you to train more," Hecate told him, "practise wearing different clothes and other items when you transform.
Like while wearing the watch or with your wand. I want you to perfect the ability before you go around boasting about it. No student of mine will walk around like a half baked pie!"
"Right, got it. And when should I register this at the ministry?"
"Give me a few days, I'll get you an appointment for it. Maybe after the world cup finals, lazy wizards will probably push all their work until it's over. So until then I don't want you showing off, I trust Harry, but is someone sees you doing this and you aren't registered that's a one way ticket of Azkaban for you!"
Percy nodded and for the rest of the day he practised transforming with different clothes. He even tried with his wand, watch and riptide.
Percy was half afraid that Riptide would just magically drop next to him instead of disappearing, but it seemed whatever charms the pen had worked with the animagus transformation as Riptide vanished and reappeared like any other normal piece of cloth.
Percy spent the next few days working on his hoverboard project. He was so close to completing it he could almost taste it. One night when he was working on the board's power output Hecate walked up to him and put down an opened letter.
"What's this?" Percy asked, he looked at the letter and found the seal of the ministry of magic on it.
"It's your OWLs results, they just came in!" Hecate beamed unable to keep a smile off her face.
"And you opened it?" Percy asked pulling the letter out.
"Well yes! I was too excited!"
"How did I do?"
"See for yourself!" the goddess grinned causing Percy to smile in return. She wasn't angry, that probably meant he didn't screw things up.
The letter had the ministry of magic seal on the top with finely written formal document below;

Percy's eyes popped wide, "holy shit!" he laughed as read and reread the paper over and over again, "this is fantastic!"
"Yeah it is!" Hecate cheered, "you did me proud Jackson! Four months and I managed to change someone who was as knowledgeable as a squib into an O level wizard!"
Percy grinned as he looked over his marks again. "Charms are a surprise, I didn't think I would actually be good at it!"
"I think the bewitching sleep charm you used impressed them, got you and I didn't it?"
Percy nodded, "yeah...O++ for potions, O+ for rune and an O for arithmancy. Not bad. Oh and O- for transfiguration, I wonder what my mark would be if they knew I was an animagus. Let's see... Well looks like I didn't do that well with the practical side in care for magical creatures, I knew that foreign pixie would come back and bite in the ass! Stupid thing! Keep biting me!"
Hecate chuckled, "well I suppose that's my fault. Couldn't get you enough interaction with the creatures, so you don't have to worry. But hey, at least you did well enough in your theory to pass, that's something."
Percy nodded, "right. Astronomy is okay, don't really care about that though. Oh, I got an O in DADA!"
"It was the spell creation wasn't it? Told you they would be impressed. Not every wizard can just make up new spells in Percy."
Percy nodded, "yeah. This is amazing! I got an A+ in Herbology, no great loss there, and the same for history. Hm, I was sure I did a little better than that."
Hecate nodded, "it was the blood band, it probably helped you put a lot."
Percy nodded, "yeah. Ha, guess they are going to have to change the, 'no cheating since 1896' policy huh?"
Hecate ruffled his hair, "that's my ward. Alright, guess it's time to enroll you into Hogwarts huh?"
Percy grinned, "Harry's going to be excited when he hears about this!"
"Right, speaking of the little runt, I'm sure he would love to see your results. Go on show him.."
