Chapter 2

“Who can tell me about mandrakes?” The Professor asked.
Roxana looked at Professor Sprout as she continued to explain about mandrakes after a Slytherin students answered her, they had baby mandrakes in front of them while the adult ones behind them, she sneaked a bit and took the leaf of the adult mandrake without anyone noticing, the mandrake in question moved a bit but since Roxana didn’t take it out of the soils it did not scream.
Roxana folded the mandrake and put it in her mouth.
Here comes a month of soup. Roxana though. Eating soup for a month is better than accidently swallowing the mandrake while chewing, saves me from making a mistake.
She started the incantation at sunrise and sundown for a whole month after that.
Amato Animo Animato Animagus

Roxana decided to study runes, the room of requirement gave her everything she needed, for now Roxana uses basic runes, ones that even if they fail will not explode on her.
Runes are an art, if written wrong the whole thing will go downhill, like in a painting, imagine painting a horse but then you mess-up the legs, you will have to start from the beginning that is the same with runes.
Until she perfected the basics she will not go to the more complex ones, as much as she does not care about being dead, it is too early to say hello to Death.

A month passed, and Roxana can tell you that she suffered drinking only soup for a month, it is delicious really, but it is annoying to eat the same thing for a month.
It was a rainy night but surprisingly the moon was not hidden by the clouds, so Roxana took that opportunity to brew the potion as fast as possible outside of the castle in a hidden area to not disturb anyone.
Luck was by her side that night, because after brewing the potion she waited for five minutes for lightning to strike, and the potion turned blood-red.
“Amato Animo Animato Animagus” Roxana said as she pointed her wand at her heart before she consumed the potion. “Ugh, disgusting”
The shape of a creature appears in her mind, it was weird, it was a giant black snake with a dragon head and…it was biting it tail?
“Ouroboros?”
An uncomfortable feeling run down her body as it started to change, it was a bit painful but nothing she could not take, her arms disappeared …no, merged to her side will be more corrected, her legs glued with each other before they grew scales.
She grew, grew, and grew to a gigantic size.
When the transformation was complete Roxana found herself, a bit confused because of the new senses she just developed, thankfully even in her new body she knew how to move, so she slithered to the river below to look at herself, she had black scales that shined a softly under the light of the moon.
She indeed had a dragon head, her horns where long and strong, but not too long to make it uncomfortable, her whole body was that of a snake and it was bit dragon-ish, it was weird but impressive in a way.
She had huge red eyes.
I look like the incarnation of evil honestly. Roxana laughed to herself, she decided to explore a bit in her new body to get more used to it.

Roxana sat down in her corned in the table of Slytherin and watched as Harry was welcomed at the table of the lions.
It started. Roxana smiled at herself.

Roxana waked up to the third floor with dog food and a bowl, she opened the door with a non-verbal alohomora, Fluffy started to growl at her but came to a halt when she put dog food in front of him, he sniffed her for a bit when she gave him her hand before he let her pet him.
Roxana continued to do this for the next months.

Roxana was reading a book in the library, it was about Nicolas Flamel work, brilliant man really, the witch got cut off her thoughts by the ‘whispering’ Gryffindors.
“Are you crazy Hermione? You cannot ask her! She is a Slytherin! It will end badly!” Ron said.
“Well! We will not know if we do not try!” Hermione said before she started to walk towards Roxana.
Roxana raised her eyebrow when Hermione stopped in front of her.
“Excuse me, would you mind if I borrow that book you have in hand?” Hermione asked.
Ron and Harry stood behind her awkwardly while looking at her.
“Sure, I don’t mind, just let me copy this page.” Roxana said.
Roxana took out a parchment and put it besides the book before she pointed her wand at them.
“Effingo Crustulum.”
A copy of the words from the book floated before they attached themselves to the parchment, creating a perfect copy.
Hermione gasped. “I’ve never heard of that spell before!”
Roxana smiled. “I created it, the meaning of the spell is ‘Copy Paste’ after seeing the muggle printing machine and I decided to use it as an example to create this spell and use it to make copies of notes I need, if you want, I can teach it to you.”
“Brilliant.” Ron and Hermione said at the same time.
“Ron Weasley, was it?” Roxana smiled at him. “Tell the twins that I accept their little prank challenge.”

Roxana smiled as she walked out of the third-floor door, this time in her bag was a familiar red stone which she replaced the original with a fake.
She will have a big pile of gold in no time!

“Do you surrender?” Roxana asked as she pointed her wand at the Weasley twins.
The twins in question had blue hair, purple glitter on them, and their skin was full of multi colored polka dots.
“How did you even find us ?!” George groaned.
“Yeah, no one knows this secret place!” Fred pouted.
“Well, I do tend to create my own spells and object, why I created a mirror that answer any kind questions by using runes, inspired by a muggle story Snow White which answered my question about your location and besides.” Roxana smirked. “I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good”
The twins looked at her in pure shock.
Roxana chuckled at their face.

Slytherins glared at the Gryffindors when the lions won the house cup.
