Chapter seven

'Oh this just keeps getting fucking better and better, I think I'd rather be dead now,' Harry slammed his fist onto the table, 'I don't want this life, it's all about death,' Harry said as he waved his hand around and everything on the table floated up in the air, then hung there, 'Wow, what just happened?'

'Um, I think you did wandless magic Harry. Kids do that before they get a wand when their upset or angry. At the moment you don't remember using magic, so it's just coming out of you,' Kingsley pointed his wand at the floating stuff, then lowered it to the table.

'I think we should remind Harry how to use his magic or he could hurt someone without knowing what he was doing,' Minerva said staring at Harry.

'Actually, that just reminded me of something,' Hermione put her hand inside her small beaded bag and pulled our four old books, 'There's something in here about making a person into a horcrux,' Hermione flicked through book after book until she stopped on a page and started reading, 'Yes, here, if a person, either witch or wizard was turned into a horcrux and that piece of soul was destroyed but the witch or wizard survived, their magic would emerge. Depending on how long the person was a horcrux, will depend on how much magic will emerge. If it was a short period of time, then a small increase of power will show. If it was years, then a large amount of power will show itself. The soul or horcrux would block or smother the person's magic, not allowing the witch or wizards potential to show. A living horcrux will have fits of anger, sometimes they will get violent. There were cases when the living horcrux would go into a trance because they are physically linked to the original soul, if he gets angry or violent, so will the horcrux. The horcrux will also survive as long as the original soul survives. It is not recommended to make a living person or animal into a horcrux, as they can think for themselves and if the horcrux is a person of a loving nature and a caring soul, the original soul will try to turn that horcrux, make that person more like the original soul.'

'Okay, but what does all that mean for me?' Harry asked looking confused.

'You were an average student Harry, but you actually excelled in defence against the dark arts. All those years you were never able to access all your magic, all your power, now you can. That's why you just did wandless magic, only powerful witches and wizards can do wandless magic. Albus Dumbledore could, not for everything, but for a lot of things. The more power needed for a spell, the harder it was to use wandless magic for that spell, so a wand usually was needed to direct to magic.' Minerva explained.

'Over the next few weeks, I would like to test your power Harry, see how much you have. But you will have to learn it all again before we can do that, unless you remember.'

'Well, I'm sure Charlie will show me what to do,' Harry looked up at him.

'I don't mind, but I think you should have Hermione show you, she is the smartest witch of her age.'

'Thanks Charlie, but I'm not as good as Harry in defence. He taught us spells in the DA that normally wasn't taught until six or seventh year.'

'Like the patronus, I noticed all the DA could do one,' Kingsley said.

'Harry learned from Remus when he was thirteen, then taught us when he was fifteen.'

'What's a patronus?' Harry asked.

'Instead of telling you, I'll show you, then we'll see if you can do yours,' Kingsley pulled his wand, 'Normally I would do it non-verbally, but I want to show you. Now, you need a really happy memory to get it to work, the happiest you can think of. Okay, expecto patronum,' and out of the end of Kingsley's wand came a silver lynx, then it vanished. 'Why don't you try, with your wand for now Harry?'

Harry shrugged, 'Okay,' Harry pulled three wands from his sleeve, 'Why do I have three wands?'

'This wand,' Hermione pointed at the holly and phoenix feather wand, 'is the wand you got when you were eleven, this wand you won from Draco Malfoy, but we'll have to explain later. The other wand is also yours but you won it as well. But you said you were going to put it back with its original owner because you liked you're wand.'

'I'll use that one then,' Harry picked up his phoenix feather wand, closed his eyes for a minute, then looked at Charlie before waving his wand, 'Expecto patronum,' and out-burst the large silver stag, 'Dad,' Harry said softly as he stared at the silver stag.

'Yes, you're patronus is the same as you're father's animagus form. Remus told you that he thinks you're patronus became a stag because you used to think of your parents to get the happy memory. He told you about your father being able to turn into a stag,' Hermione said sadly.

'I remember something, a large black dog, what's that about?'

'Sirius, you're godfather, he could turn into a large black dog. His nickname was Padfoot, your dad's was Prongs, you call you're patronus Prongs,' Ron said.

'Oh, okay, I don't remember any of that, just a large black dog.'

'Try to do the patronus without you're wand this time Harry?' Kingsley asked.

Harry nodded, then put his wand on the table, then shrugged, but waved his hand but he never even said the spell and Prongs leapt forth and ran through the wall.

'Cool,' Harry chuckled, 'that was easy actually.' Harry noticed everyone look at everyone else, before they looked at him, 'What?'

'Why I asked you to try that wandless Harry, is that no witch or wizard in history can do a patronus wandless, some can do it non-verbally, not all. Not even Dumbledore could do a wandless patronus and he was known as the greatest wizard since Merlin himself.'

'So that means I'm a freak, right?'

'No babe, it just means you're powerful, very powerful. But you know what, I never learned how to do a patronus, I lived in Romania, so I never bothered.'

'Hermione, I don't think you'll have any trouble showing Harry anything. You just need to tell him what each spell is or used for.'

'All my old books are here, I have everyone from first year up to sixth, but not seventh year.'

'There's some seventh years around here, Bill, Charlie and Percy used them. Percy used them the most though, Bill next, Charlie, not so much,' Arthur smiled at his son.

'Well I preferred creatures than learning all that other stuff.'

'He still does,' Molly said as she sat down, 'Ginny's angry and doesn't want Harry here. I told her Harry lives here and can stay as long as he wants. She's not too happy at the moment, so you might have to get used to more bat bogey's.'

'I can get my own place, Hermione said I had money, I don't know how much though.'

'Um Harry, when Sirius left you everything, I did some checking at Gringotts, I work there,' Bill gave him a smile, 'The Black family was one of the wealthiest pure blood families there is. His vault, or should I say you're vault is in the deepest levels at Gringotts.'

'Oh, then I could probably buy a nice house or something.'

'Let's leave it for a while Harry, you need rest and to learn everything again. Ginny will just have to put up with seeing you and Charlie together.' Arthur said.

'If you're sure Mr. Weasley, I don't want to make her angry or upset, this is her home.'

'It's your home to Harry, has been for years,' Molly smiled, 'But I'm going to start lunch. You'll have to take you're other potion after dinner to Harry, don't forget.'

'I'll make sure he takes it. From what Hermione and Ron have told me about Harry, he can be very stubborn.'

'Very Charlie, when he doesn't want to do something, no one can talk him around. We got into a few fights because we always disagreed,' Ron laughed, 'Plus, he has no patience.'

'This is so strange to hear you say these things about me but it's like you're talking about a stranger.'

'I know babe, but you're starting to remember and if you get the pensieve in a couple of days that might make you remember more.'

'We'll be off, but Harry, maybe in a few days, could you come to Hogwarts. Albus would like to talk to you?' Minerva asked.

'I'd like to see one of these talking pictures, but how do I get there?'

'I'll take you, it's easy,' Charlie smiled at Harry.

'I need to organise the repairs, I'm sure I'll talk to you all soon.'

'Yes, I need to see my patients, don't forget your potions Harry and please, no more trying to kill yourself or I just might lock you in my hospital.'

'I won't, thanks for your potion even if it takes like shit.'

'Language Harry,' Molly scolded.

'You're lucky she didn't bust your ears and she didn't hear you before,' Charlie hugged Harry.

'We'll talk to you later,' Minerva and Poppy both stepped into the fireplace and vanished in a flash of green flames.

'Wow, that looked so cool, is that how you're going to take me to this Hogwarts?'

'Yep, it's the fastest way, well apart from apparating and before you ask, we'll show you soon what that means.'

'Harry will need to get his license, he couldn't before as Voldemort had control over the ministry,' Kingsley said, 'But I need to get back to work, oh, by the way, I wanted to let you know that Umbridge is locked up. She's going to face trial over everything.'

Hermione noticed Harry clench his fist, 'Harry, you clenched your fist when Kingsley said Umbridge, do you remember her?'

'No, who is she, one of those death eaters?'

'We don't know if she is a death eater, but we will find out. She did a lot of terrible things, some to you.'

Hermione straightened Harry's hand and showed him, 'See, she made all of us do that, but you were made to do it more. She used a quill, that's like a pen. When you wrote, without ink it would cut into your hand and the words you were writing appeared in your own blood.' Hermione showed her hand, which was just visible.

'I must not tell lies, what was I lying about?'

'You weren't lying, she just didn't want to believe it. You told everyone Voldemort was back.' Kingsley said.

'You got up in her first class and shouted that Voldemort was back and murdered Cedric, he was this boy at Hogwarts.'

Harry shook his head, 'Dragons and strange things under the water, human looking, but different,' he looked up.

'That's the triwizard tournament, you and Cedric were the Hogwarts champions. The first task was the get past a dragon to get the golden egg. The second task was in the black lake, you had to go rescue you're hostage, which was Ron. The human looking things were merpeople.'

'Ron told me to piss off, when was that?'

'Ronald Weasley,' Molly shouted, 'did you swear at Harry?'

Ron grimaced and all his brothers laughed, 'Um, yeah, I thought Harry entered the tournament without telling me, he's best mate, we got into a fight, we made up though.'

'I know what you mean about you're mum busting ears love, she yells loud. But I wanted to ask why this place is crooked, is it safe?'

Everyone around the table laughed, 'It's held up by magic and it's very safe Harry. Charlie, I can see you getting exhausted trying to explain things to Harry.' Arthur gave his son a smile.

'He does, but he really goes into detail, so I keep snogging him.'

'I'm glad you don't do that to everyone, or you'd be always snogging Hermione,' Ron said then Hermione punched his arm, 'What did you do that for?'

'You were saying, without saying, I'm long winded Ronald Weasley.'

Ron put his arm around Hermione and kissed her cheek, 'No, you just like to go into a full monologue when you explain something, but that's what I love about you, it's you Hermione.'

All the Weasley boys, Harry, Kingsley, Henry and Mrs. Weasley all smiled at Hermione and Ron. They could see Ron was going to make Hermione give in every time saying things like that but they never realised Ron could say those type of things, but it shows that you never really know someone like you think you do.
