Reima and Ciri enter the office to find Professor Mcgonagall sitting back in her chair with a Victrola blaring a classical song from it's large horn. The door closes behind them alerting the woman to their presence, her eyes shoot open and glare at them before turning back to a more placid expression.
Mcgonagall "My young Animagi, I forgot you were coming..." she says with them both giving her a funny look due to bottle of fire whisky also standing tall on her desk. "Well? Stop standing their and start meditating." she says while stealthily putting the bottle away.
The duo look at eachother and shrug, Ciri sits down while Reima places Snuffles on the desk in-front of Mcgonagall who like everyone else, cannot stop herself from spoiling the rabbit.
Reima sits down on his knees and begins his meditation, however somehow this time feels different from any other. As soon as he closes his eyes he finds himself standing on a mountain top, or more accurately, a volcano. Looking around he can see the scorched surroundings that look devoid of life as far as the eye can see. Cracks, crators and rivers of lava cover the landscape in an almost hellish display. He looks to his side and sees what must be the entrance to the volcano as thick black smoke billows out of a massive whole that must span half a mile wide. The cloud of smoke drifts into the sky and collects with the rest that linger above everything, blocking the sun and allowing a black snowfall of ashes to coat everything around.
Reima wipes some ash from his face and hair but finds his body unconsciously letting his aura out, causing it to glow dimly and start releasing embers from his form. The stone underneath his feet melts into lava as his clothes burn from his body, leaving him naked.
His brows furrow as he feels himself losing control over his aura which causes the area around him to start heating up and glowing dimly, small flickers of dark red fire appear and disappear around him. His attention his brought from his internal predicament to something inside the volcano, he can feel something enormous emerging and from the black smoke he can see two slitted turquoise eyes staring back at him. Without another moment to spare the smoke explodes and reveals it's form, the two gigantic wings with a pair of smaller ones behind them flap once and clear the smoke. Allowing Reima to see the familiar black scales covering it's body.
"You, have returned." it says, the voice causing the very floor to vibrate.
Reima looks at it's skull-like face and nods, "I have."
"You wish to take me into yourself?"
Reima "...Er, I'm not gay so, no..."
The dragon snorts, causing fire to escape it's nostrils. "Do not play your petty mortal games with me."
Reima "Yeah, I know the Jedi-schtick. I am you, you are me."
It nods, "Words of wisdom from a great prophet no doubt, this Jedi Schtick."
....
Reima just shakes his head, deciding that trying to explain Star Wars to an ancient dragon would probably be annoying and futile. "So... How do we do this?"
It lowers it's head to his level, "You must step in my mouth for us to become one." it says, opening it's maw wide, revealing it's horrifically sharp teeth and molten looking interior.
Reima gives the dragon a suspicious look, "You sure?" with it nodding at him.
He begins to step towards it while looking into it's eyes, he can see them dilating as he approaches and he can swear he can hear it's heart-rate increasing. Just as he's about to put one foot inside it's mouth he realises something. "Hang on a minute, if you're me you must know what Star Wars is!"
The dragon seems to tremble for a moment before slowly closing it's mouth... It then proceeds to burst into laughter, it's louder than anything Reima had ever heard before and he could swear a volcano just erupted behind him...
"Hahahaha! It seems you are not as foolish as I thought. Yes, I know what Star Wars is you imbecile! I am you're own personality, mind, emotions and soul manifest into a suitable creature. If you had stepped in my mouth I would refuse to work with someone stupid enough to allow themselves to be eaten!"
Reima "Yeah? Well, I'd cut my way out." he says indignantly causing the dragon to shake it's head, "I doubt that!"
Reima "No, I doubt you!"
"You cannot doubt yourself!"
Reima "WELL I JUST DID!"
Outside with Mcgonagall she can see something is wrong with Mr Ludvig. He's trembling for some odd reason but the weirdest thing is the fact he's frowning and then smirking, then repeating this for who knows how long.
Suddenly something catches her eye which has her gently awaken Ciri before pulling her away from Reima. His fingers had turned into brutally sharp black claws... His skin is turning black and she can see his clothing begin to retreat into his skin, something that happens to all Animagi as they don't wish to be naked every time they transform.
The duo continue to watch as Reima hunches over and begins slowly transforming. Even Snuffles is enraptured with just what is happening. Mcgonagall cannot tell what animal he is but Ciri does, shes internally panicking as she didn't know what'd happen if Reima turned into a giant dragon inside of this tiny room... However it seems her worries were unjustified as he seemed to be shrinking.
They watch as his body turns into some kind of lizard with two pairs of tiny wings on it's back that are clearly not enough to fly. It's only a few meters long from head to tail but it's face is cute, despite it looking emaciated.
It raises it's head slowly and looks at this with it's lizard-like turquoise eyes, it gives a squeak and belches dark red fire from it's mouth that sets fire to a nearby chair.
Mcgonagall "OH MY!" she exclaims after her brain finally takes in what'd just happened.
