School's Out
The screaming had started as soon as Harry had returned from Hogwarts but for once it hadn't been directed at him apparently his Uncle Vernon was having an affair. He had long since suspected that but with a war going on Harry had bigger things to worry about .One good thing was that his cousin Dudley had been sent off to Fat Camp.
For the most part he had been ignored and he liked it that way. It was nightfall and he was sitting in the garden listening to his aunt and uncle argument. Suddenly he heard a rustling in the bushes. He whipped out his wand but before he could react a strong pair of arms had grabbed him from behind. Although he struggled fiercely before he knew what was happening they had both disappeared into thin air.
In the blink of an eye he found himself in an empty playground in the bad part of the city .His assailant shoved him away roughly and he fell to the ground. As he lay on his back he got a very good look at the other wizard. He was huge, almost as big as Hagrid. He was dark and sinister looking. He pulled out his wand casually and pointed it at Harry.
'Get up boy. I haven't got all night,' he said casually.
Then the dual started. Harry threw every spell he knew at his opponent but to his annoyance the other man was able to block them effortlessly. That was how it went on for about fifteen minutes until Harry finally shouted 'What do you want!'
"First rule of dueling, Keep your mouth shut. Second rule never let your opponent see you sweat.'
He flicked his wand and sent Harry flying into the sandbox .Then he sauntered towards him and offered him one of his rugged hands.
'Don't touch me!' shouted Harry
'Get up boy. Third rule, don't be a sore loser, 'he chuckled
Harry brushed the sand off his clothes while the other wizard lit a cigar.
'Is this some kind of test?" Harry asked.
'How clever of you.,I'm sorry to say that you failed miserably. If I had been Death Eater you would have been dead. I'm here to teach you some real magic,'
'How am I supposed to trust you?'
'You're still alive,'
'I'll pass,"
"Third rule' you don't have a choice""
With that Harry felt a jolt as the two of them apparated into nothingness."
