Tom Riddle - Animagus
He had researched for months upon months, taking in every bit of information he could from every book he could find, even risking stealing a mandrake leaf from one of the herbology green houses and sealing it to the roof of his mouth for the month required, and every day, twice a day, he spoke the spell required to even begin the slow transformation to become an Animagus 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus'
and when the potion to officially transform him was ready, upon the first lightning storm after the month he had the putrid mandrake leaf in his mouth-he went up to his dorm and took a deep breath, and then took the potion.
it was painful and it felt like he was burning from the inside out, lava pouring from every crevice of his body as his skin and bones changed to what he had meditated for his Animagus form to be.
He expected a serpent of some kind, or hopefully some sort of reptile, worthy of being his Animagus form.
But as he felt his transformation complete, and he shifted around, he didn't feel scales and no legs with a long tail for a body-no, instead, he had four big paws, fluffy fur, and a snout...
He snapped his eyes open, a grumbling whine coming from him as he looked in the mirror.
He was a fucking dog. A big fluffy dog with brown and black fluffy fur and two pointed ears, with a big fluffy tail.
Tumblr media
What kinda sick joke was this?! months and months of planning and research and pain staking waiting, for him to end up as a fucking DOG?!
Tom let out grumbly whines and barks, unable to contain his frustration, leading him to rip up one of the books he had gotten from the library about Animagus and then also his pillows, and his blankets, and even his scarf.
Tom sat pissed in the midst of his dorm, fluff from his pillows and paper everywhere, glaring down at his two big fluffy goofy ass paws. Why a dog? Hell, why a german shepherd? He could've been something scary like a Doberman or a cane corso or even a Belgian shepherd! but noooo he had to be a big goofy fluffy (adorable) german shepherd.
And there were no take backs or no overs, he was stuck with this form.
Great. Just great.
