The decision to become an animagus was an easy one. Yes the process could be long and tedious if the proper conditions took awhile to come around, but Lucy was hopeful. Lucy’s fear of magic and the Wizarding World really boiled down to her being afraid of losing Ellie. What would she need of her mother if she had spells and potions and magical objects to help her get through life? Learning about the animagus process showed Lucy that she could potentially join Ellie’s world. Being the first muggle to successfully become an animagus would allow her to be closer to Ellie, to maintain some bond with her daughter.
