With the trio appearing in a nearby alley way from the Cauldron they quickly enter inside, the owner of the bar Tom raises an eyebrow at his and Ciri's new companion. In-fact, it's not just Tom who's keeping an eye on them, it seems as if everyone in the bar has gain a sudden interest in he and Ciri... Reima just pays for the room and explains that she's a friend and they're looking after her for the moment. He shrugs it off as this is probably a normal occurrence, additionally it seems the magical world values children above all due to the low population. Any attack on a minor is seen as the worst of the worst and could easily put you in Azkaban.
Reima ends up renting his and Ciri's old rooms, the two adjacent to each other provided easy access should they need something. Nerissa goes with Ciri, apparently not willing to let go even for sleep.
Deciding to just let Ciri comfort the girl Reima dives into the books of Morgan le Fay that he'd found in the \"Secret\" secret room in the basement. Skimming through some of the books to find the particularly interesting ones, he comes across a book fully detailing Morgan's transformation into becoming an Animagi, this was incredibly useful as the other books on the subject he had read only gave vague descriptions on what he actually had to do... Here however, it feels as if the ancient powerful witch was teaching him personally, if he were to put this in an auction after being verified he might become the richest man in wizarding Britain... Or richer than he already is? An artifact dating back to the time of Merlin and his greatest rival would surely draw attention to him however, and he had no intention to sell this book of before reaping all of the benefits.
Before, the books simply stated that through meditation he'd eventually find his animal and slowly start transforming, even after finding the diary on theories of various Animagi transformations he still only had a vague idea of what to do. These new books however, give a full detailed explanation on the process, is your Occlumency is good enough and you meditate during a full moon you'll get a look at your form, of course how detailed it is depends on your forms personality... If it's a predator that stalks prey it might be incredibly difficult to actually discover what your animal is, this is the reason not many people have completed the transformation. This was probably also the reason the marauders found it so easy to transform with their half-assed potion, the book actually speaks of people who'd skip the most essential parts to quickly gain the form. this forces some of the animals actual personality into the person, rather than the persons personality deciding the animal... Back onto the Marauders, from what Reima can remember the books theory explains quite a lot, James Potter and Sirius black found it the easiest as their forms were not shy at all. Peter Pettegrew took the longest, not due to him lacking the talent, but because his form of a rat was probably incredibly hard to discover.
Either way, he'll not take the easy route to gaining this ability and will not allow Ciri to either. Not that he knows how to create the potion anyway, the book states that the potion is an abomination of the original method and should be purged from history...
Continuing to read further it states that after you've found your animal you'll have to slowly meditate and try to passively transfigure your body into the animal. There is not spell needed and you don't have to be talented in transfiguration either, instead it's all about imagination. Essentially you're overlaying your animal's form over your own, imagining what it'd take to transform into it... It has scaled skin? How would your skin transform into that? It has wings? What muscles must be changed to adapt to that? And so on.
He stops reading there as he's not even discovered his animal yet and getting too far ahead of himself could have unforeseen consequences, instead he tries to rememer how the moon looked last night to find out how long it'll be until he can discover his animal... Almost full? he isn't an expert on astrology which will become readily apparent when he takes his Hogwarts test, he didn't put that much effort into learning either as stars and constellations change with each different universe h enters. Trying to memorise such thing would prove to be a pointless endeavour.
Sitting himself on the floor he starts to meditate, he was incredibly wary of actually attending Hogwarts, he knew the headmaster was a master Legilimens and would be able to breach his mental shields if he was off guard... Hopefully his short time training Occlumency would be able to hold off his unobtrusive scans, the last thing he needs is a nosy mage in his business. Another thing he was curious of was the famous sorting hat, well, not famous in the magical world as it was almost a taboo to talk about it, but famous in his old world. He wasn't sure what house he'd actually be in... Hopefully he'd be in the same house as Ciri as it'd make it easier to train her if they followed a similar scheduel, although he was sure they wouldn't be in the same grade.
Wait, what were they supposed to do with Nerissa? They couldn't exactly take her to school with them, he had promised to take care of her in her mothers stead and he was very opposed to leaving her with someone as he felt he was the only one powerful enough to keep her safe...
He sighs and continues meditating, deciding to leave these problems for future Reima.
