The Insights of the Gods, Deducing the Forbidden Spells at Hogwarts

Ordinary Animagi acquire their abilities through training.

For example, Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts prefers to transform into a tabby cat.

Sirius Black can transform into a large black dog.

Similarly, Charlie and Harry's father, James, could turn into a stag.

However, Charlie's innate Animagus ability is different from theirs.

Regular Animagi cannot transform into magical creatures.

But Charlie's unique ability breaks this limitation.

Unfortunately, he still doesn't know what kind of creature he will become.

And, it seems…

His ability isn't entirely under control yet.

Just after witnessing Sirius's transformation, Charlie's body started to react.

Until now

The reaction had become overwhelming.

"Oh my god, James! What's happening to Charlie?"

Lily panicked.

She held Charlie tightly in her arms.

Tears shimmered in her eyes.

And it was understandable.

Charlie's current state was utterly bewildering.

James was calmer than Lily.

But the anxiety in his eyes was undeniable.

Both of them held Charlie tightly.

"Dumbledore, right! We need to send a letter to Dumbledore immediately!"

Lily was crying now.

Because in her arms

Charlie's skin was beginning to sprout scales.

The sight was truly terrifying.

Charlie, on the other hand, felt an immense surge of power within his body.

Seeing Lily's distressed expression, he felt a little touched.

He reached out and gently wiped away her tears.

Lily flinched in shock.

Then, she became even more worried.

"My baby, my baby…"

Uh…

I was just trying to comfort you, Mom.

Why are you crying even harder?

I'm fine, really.

Charlie was at a loss.

But his transformation was accelerating.

Suddenly

A low growl escaped his throat.

A sound no human infant should be capable of making.

"James! Hurry, send a letter to Dumbledore!"

Lily urged.

"Alright, alright, I'm going now!"

James lifted his leg to leave but was stopped by Sirius.

Sirius was the calmest among the three.

At this moment

His expression was extremely complicated.

There was concern.

There was doubt.

And even a hint of fear.

"James, Charlie might be… transforming… Animagus…"

James and Lily were stunned.

They quickly turned to look at Charlie.

But at this moment

Charlie's appearance had changed completely, shocking everyone.

He no longer looked human.

Instead

He had transformed into a young fire dragon.

A fire dragon.

A magical creature.

One of the strongest species in the world of fantastic beasts.

There are many types of fire dragons, like the Australian Opaleye or the Norwegian Ridgeback.

James and the others had studied them during their time at Hogwarts.

Now, right before their eyes

Charlie had taken on the form of a fire dragon.

Though the specific subspecies was unclear.

"A… fire dragon…?"

Sirius swallowed hard.

"James, Lily… Charlie is absolutely terrifying. This must be the legendary innate Animagus ability recorded in ancient texts, the power to transform into a magical creature."

James let out a deep breath.

It took him a long time to regain his composure.

He gently stroked Charlie.

To his relief, Charlie did not resist.

Only then did the weight in his heart slowly lift.

Lily, however, threw herself onto Charlie and began to sob.

"It's possible… The probability is extremely low, but we can't rule it out."

James nodded, his expression still filled with shock.

"I just never imagined… that Charlie would transform into a fire dragon. This is beyond anything I've ever heard of."

"Exactly. James, I think you and Lily need to keep this a secret. Otherwise, it could bring unimaginable danger to Charlie."

Everyone understood and agreed.

A wizard who was born capable of transforming into a fire dragon.

Just those words alone

Even a single one of them attached to a baby

Was beyond belief.

"For now, let's not tell Dumbledore or anyone else."

Lily made the decision.

She could no longer make sense of her own son.

Charlie had shocked her too many times.

For safety's sake

Everything about Charlie had to be kept a secret.

At that moment, Charlie lifted his hands and feet, falling into deep thought.

What exactly have I turned into?

And how do I change back?

Also…

I'm starving!

Charlie wriggled out of Lily's embrace.

He was surprised to find that he could crawl and walk with ease.

This new body came with tremendous changes.

Then, he moved toward a mirror.

And carefully examined himself.

Yep.

A fire dragon.

Absolutely ridiculous…

Although this transformation had made him significantly stronger

It was also beyond terrifying.

No wonder his parents were so scared.

After calming himself down

Charlie let out a low whimper.

Signaling for his parents to bring him food from the table.

James and Lily were startled.

Then, with some hesitation, they handed the food to Charlie.

After all, he was still just a baby.

Charlie didn't hold back.

In his Animagus form, he had no trouble swallowing food.

He was nothing like a weak, helpless infant.

Right now, he was starving.

He needed food to replenish his energy.

Charlie devoured the food in just a few bites.

Sirius noticed something unusual.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Charlie is still just a baby. Even in his Animagus form, he's only acting on instinct."

Then, Sirius went to fetch more food.

And handed it all to Charlie.

Charlie didn't even lift his head before he started eating again.

Before long

He had cleaned the plate.

Charlie let out a satisfied burp.

Then, something bizarre happened.

His dragon body began to grow

Visibly.

At first, he was only the size of a small stool.

Within mere seconds, he had grown by a third.

Then, Charlie yawned.

And under everyone's watchful eyes

He slowly reverted to his infant form.

At this, Lily finally lost control.

"My baby, you're finally back!"

She burst into tears again.

She had been constantly worrying that Charlie would never regain his human form.

James and Sirius also sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, Charlie's dear little brother, Harry

Was trembling where he sat.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down his cheeks.

His instincts told him to stay as far away from Charlie as possible.

His big brother… was way too terrifying.

But since he was just a baby, he didn't have the strength to crawl away.

"James, I think we need to take Charlie's situation very seriously."

Sirius sighed.

Just in this one day

Charlie had already shocked them beyond words.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a baby could possess such power and talent?

He could wield a wand and cast spells.

He was born with the ability to enter an Animagus state.

And not just any creature

But the most powerful magical beast: a fire dragon.

With Sirius's heavy sigh

The room's atmosphere turned ice-cold.

Because, yes

None of this information could ever get out.

James and Lily were already in grave danger as it was.

If the Death Eaters ever found out about Charlie

They would turn the entire world upside down to find the Potter family.
