Summary
I have always loved the idea of harry as an animagus like his dad, though I'm probably making up a lot of the rules for animagi.Title from Soldier, Poet, KingI'll be posting a list of the songs used for titles at the beginning of each chapter-There will Come a Soldier-Harry inherited the animagus trait from James, but only discovers it because of Sirius and Pettigrew his third year. This changes things as he moves through his years at Hogwarts, summers with the Dursleys, and the battle with Voldemort.
Note
TitlesMain: Soldier, Poet, King // Chapter 1: Iris - the Goo Goo DollsJuly 28th-31st, 1980 Godric's Hallow, the Potter CottageI'm not really sure where this is going but the idea wouldn't leave me alone. I'm shit at updating because of spoons and work and all that. Most of the information about animagi is made up by me! Let me know if there's an answer in canon (from the original books because that's all I've read or care about)I will be trying to be accurate about as much as possible, including real world issues like mental health (thanks Psych degree!).This is cannon divergent so I may not kill off certain characters, or change some things, but more on that as I write!P.S. please do not hate! I understand KJ Rowling is Not Good (TM) but I also respect the art for what it is and what it means. Also no hate based on identities, religious beliefs, gender, or any other thing!-Thanks xxFi@paintings_by_fi
