Michael smiled down at Hope, "Well not many people have the courage to ask such a thing. I'm afraid that becoming an Animagus is INCREDIBLY difficult. If you were to mess it up the consequences would be... severe. This is why the Ministry of Magic has an Animagus Registry and keeps close track of EVERYONE that is attempting to become one, Hope." He said before tapping the blackboard. He sat down at his desk and unrolled a scroll of parchment before he began writing. He wrote until just before the last person finished writing the notes. He rolled the parchment up and sealed it with his wand. There was a flash of fire and a crimson bird appeared on Michael's shoulder holding it's leg out. Michael whispered, "Take this to Damien," before giving the parchment the bird. There was another flash of fire and the bird was gone. A male student up front was gaping at Michael and raised his hand. "S-Sir, was that a p-phoenix?" Michael smiled at the boy acknowledging his question. "Yes it was, he is mine. His name is Apollo and he takes care of all of my urgent mail. Now if you all are finished, homework for tonight is an essay on how to deal with werewolves. 2 feet of parchment in your own words to be turned in next Monday, class dismissed."
