Won't Get Fooled Again Keeperoliver Chapter 12
A/N: I wish to apologize for the delay. I was going to write this chapter Thursday, but to tell you the truth, I was too emotionally overwhelmed by something another author did. Not only did he dedicate a chapter to me, he said he may do another one. When I responded to his dedication, he wrote in his reply why he did it, and how he felt. To let you know, It was the author known as MK-One, and the story is Playing With Fire. It is an excellent story, but with much angst. It is part three of a trilogy. I have been following it since the beginning, and helped him through a slight depression during part two, when he thought no one was interested in the story. Well, I got him to continue, and the story took off, and he was happy with the results.
#1, (this is what I call him) is now writing another story called The Weapon, and it is doing quite well also. He is planning two more stories and possibly some one shots. Please give him a try. It will mean the world to him.
OK, enough of my tribute to #1, and now on to my own story. Fair warning, this chapter will be a happy one, then the next, not so happy, as Harry will do it once again. Only this time he is doing it to stop what he thinks caused the problem in the first place. As always, Ollie the Keeper.

It was as Harry thought, the next morning Lily had Harry sitting with his father at the dining room table ready to give him the talk.
"Harry, I just want you to know that this is your mothers idea. Of course I probably gave it to you years ago, when you started to notice girls, or at least Ginny. It is not my idea of fun, just of necessity. Now, where to begin? OK, Harry when a boy likes a girl, and she likes him as well, feelings begin to grow inside them both. These feelings are strong, and lead to some situations that tend to get uncomfortable. The two soon find them selves in compromising positions. To avoid these circumstances, at least one has to learn control. It would be best if both did this, but that is not always the case. To be honest with you, it is usually the girl, as they always seem to be the sensible one of the two. However, this is not always the case. This is when the male has to be the one in control. If neither is the case then something must be done to prevent further damage to the situation. What I mean is when things go to far, protection will become necessary.
If you and Ginny are enjoying each others company, and you begin to feel a sudden urge to explore further your relationship, and Ginny is in the same state of mind, then you must remember to use a spell to ensure that nothing will come by it. The spell for the male is Coitus Spermatosa Finite. This will block the sperm from impregnating the embryo in the womb."
Harry was turning green from what his dad was explaining. This talk of Sperm, Embryos and wombs made him dizzy. He hoped Ginny's talk was less detailed. Ginny and him may never get together in that sense if he was subjected to much more of this talk.
Ginny was in the same situation, only from Molly. She received the same talk, only from the female side of the situation. She was told what to look for, how to avoid it, and what to do if it couldn't be avoided, or the two did not wish to avoid it. She was taught the contraception charm, and what it did.
The talk of sperm, embryos, the womb and the rest of the female reproductive glands had her gagging by the end of the talk. She vowed no male would ever cover her embryo with sperm if she had anything to say about it. The results were just to horrible. She may even stay single to prevent this. She liked Harry, but not that much that she would have her stomach stretched three or four times it's normal size by a growing baby. She could not remember ever seeing a woman with child in person, but the picture in her mind was enough to scare her away.
She knew that her and Harry would be having a talk of their own, and soon. She would let him know that, in the future, if he wished to have kids, he would be the one carrying it, and giving birth to it. Ginny pictured this, and broke out laughing.
Molly was watching her when Ginny did this and surprised Ginny when she said, "You just pictured Harry carrying a baby and giving birth, didn't you?"
Still laughing Ginny uttered, "How did you know?"
"Do you think you were the first to have that thought? I had the very same thought when I was your age, maybe even younger. It was too long ago. I pictured your father going to work, and not able to sit at his desk because his stomach stuck out too far. He was unable to work. I saw him with his first case of morning sickness. I even took it far enough to see how they approached the delivery. I thought he would somehow poop the baby out, but they had to cut open his belly, and take the baby that way. It was quite messy, and he kept yelling "Never again. You can have the next one, if you want anymore."
Ginny was laughing so hard it brought the twins down wondering what was going on. When Molly joined her in the laughter, it just made the twins that more determined to find out was causing this fit. Unfortunately, the ladies were not offering any information, and the twins were left in the dark.
However, with out Ginny knowing it, Harry was getting the image of Arthur giving birth, and Ginny laughing at it, and he also was laughing, which got James interested. Harry wouldn't divulge his story though which caused James to grumble.
When Ginny caught her fist glimpse of Harry laughing, she lost it once again. When Molly looked at her . Ginny just said "Harry saw it." Molly knew what she meant, and joined her once again in laughing. The twins were lost, and the expression on their faces didn't help ending the laughter from the two females.

Gellert's training was harder than he imagined. He could find no wand that was as good as the one he lost to Dumbledore 50 years ago. That and his magical core was not able to build up to what it used to be. So, now he had to try another tactic. He would have to find one spell that could not be defended. One spell that would end it all. He had to research once again to gain his final outcome. He didn't mind research, it was just he had to make so many detours he was wondering if he was making the right decision in seeking revenge. Too many years have passed and he had no idea what Albus' strength was. Yes they were the same age, but he has been healthy and active all these years. He has been able to use his magic on a regular basis, and learn new magic along the way.
In other words, Gellert was beginning to think his idea was doomed to failure. Every thing he has tried to accomplish has backfired. Had he been that long that he could no longer function in the wizard world at the standard of Albus Dumbledore, who he once considered his equal.
So, Gellert began his search for that one spell that would at least give him a chance at defeating Dumbledore. His only chance at defeating him. Gellert who used to control FiendFyre, could barely start a fire now. He used to be able to control the thoughts of thousands. Now he could barely control one weak minded person. Any one he met that had Occlumency skills would stop him dead in his attempt to control him or her. OH how Gellert hated time, and growing old. Time was taking his life, and age was taking his power. He had so little of either left.

It was now time for the students to return to Hogwarts as they gathered on the platform of 9 ¾. The Express was billowing out steam as it sat waiting to be loaded.
Harry said his goodbyes to his mum and dad, as did the girls. It was to the sheer embarrassment of the girls that Lily gave them their talks as James was giving his to Harry. Theirs did not turn out as funny as Ginny's did. It just left them green as Harry had felt at first. Harry never shared the thought he got from Ginny about Mr. Weasley. However him and Ginny relived it several times in their minds, each time bringing fits of laughter. They knew their mums knew they shared the mind link, but their dads were as oblivious as the rest of the families.
This being Harry's third year, and Ginny's, Amy's and Luna's second, it would be one of interest as they learned that the Ministry was taking strict measures to ensure the safety of the magical population due to the escape of Grindlewald. They did not know to what extent they would take these measures, but they did not expect them to show during the train ride.
Three hours into the journey, Harry and the rest had been in the middle of a conversation, when the windows began to become frosted, and the air began to get quite cold. Luna scraped the frost off the windows, and saw creatures flying past it. Creatures that looked like flying death. When she had Harry to look out the windows, he knew right away what they were. He also saw them board the train.
Harry went to the door and threw it open. He saw students in the hallway begin to scream as they saw the Dementors. The Dementors went to the students and started to take their feelings from them. It would only be a matter of time when they would give them the kiss. Harry went into action and produced his Patronus sending the Stag against the creatures which chased them off. Harry kept the Stag in place as he walked the train to send any more of the creatures away. In all, Harry had chased off ten of the vile creatures. He would ask why they attacked when he got back to school.
Harry purchased all the chocolate the cart lady had, and started to distribute it to the victims of the attacks which caused them to feel much better. The two Heads made note to get Harry a letter of recognition for his actions this evening.
When the train pulled into Hogsmeade, and the students disembarked and went to the carriages, they were surprised to see so many Professors awaiting them. The two Heads explained what happened, and made sure they all knew it was Harry that had been the hero.
After the sorting and the meal, Albus stood to get everyone's attention, "It seems we are all her in one piece and able to share in the grand meal we just had, due to the efforts of one person. Harry Potter, would you please stand up and get the recognition you deserve?"
Harry shook his head as he sat there not wanting the attention. However, Luna would not let it pass. She grabbed his arm and pulled him up. She then sat back down to get out of the picture.
"Ah Harry, still shy around your peers I see. Well thankfully you are not shy about helping others when the need is there. Because of this the Professors are proud to present you with a letter of Appreciation to honor you heroic efforts to ward off the Dementors that boarded the train. Just to let every one know, the Dementors boarded the train because they saw an easy feast available. They feed on the souls of humans, and they can only be chased away by what is called a Patronus. It is a very difficult charm to perform, and very few witches and wizards can perform a full blown Patronus. From what was said, it seems Harry can and his form is a stag. Well done Harry, well done indeed. Now I think it is time for you all to be off for bed. Get a good night's rest and be ready to start bright and early.
Once settled in the dorm, Harry and Ginny snuggled on the single seat and were joined by Amy, Luna, Neville and Draco. Once again, Ron was off to find Parvatti, or Lavender, or who ever he was with now. Since Ginny started school, Ron had made himself scarce with Harry and Hermione. This also puzzled him. Where was Hermione? She didn't even sit with the group at the meal.
Ginny felt this in her mind, and giggled. "Harry, and case you haven't noticed, Fred and George are missing as well. I think you may find them all together, or George and Hermione are together, as are Fred and Daphne. I believe George may be corrupting our bookworm friend. And heaven help the Ice Queen if Fred is influencing her."
Harry laughed at Ginny's description of they play of events that was taking place in the school. Then the door to the dorm opened up, and both George and Hermione walked in. Hermione seemed to be straightening out her clothes as she entered. George had his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Ginny looked at them and asked. "Where have you two been, Harry was worried about you both?"
George just winked, "Well, Harry will just have to keep worrying as we are both grown people and can take care of ourselves."
This was when Harry got serious, "Even from Dementors? You know they are guarding the school now, don't you? Hermione, we need to talk. I think we need to start teaching every one how to do the Patronus charm. It may come in handy if more than just me can do it. What do you think Ginny?"
This took Ginny back. The serious tone of Harry's voice startled her. Luna and Amy were also stunned.
Luna took this chance to answer for Ginny, "I think Harry is right. We won't be taught this until our sixth year, and it would seem it may be needed this year. Harry, maybe you should talk to Professor Dumbledore and see if you could train anyone who wishes to learn it. We could find a place to train that wouldn't interfere with the Professors teaching. Maybe we could get one of them to help."
Harry liked the idea of everyone learning the charm, but, paled at the thought of him having to teach it. He was thinking more in the line of him teaching Hermione, then she could do the teaching to the others. He thought about it further, and it started to make sense that he taught everyone at the same time
to save time. "Alright Luna, I will ask the Headmaster tomorrow morning before classes to see what he thinks. Why don't you, Amy, Hermione,and Ginny make a list of everyone who wants to learn it."
Hermione then spoke out, "Harry, why stop at just Patronus charms? Why not teach everyone who wants to learn what you know about DADA. You know more than all of us, and it would help in our being able to protect ourselves in case anything should happen. It will also help in our end of term tests. You by far had the best scores of any of us."
"Hermione, if I did that, then why would we need a DADA Professor? Remus is a great instructor, and we all learned a lot from him."
"I'm not saying he isn't, Harry. But it would make it a lot easier on him if we all were at the same level as you, don't you think? Don't you get bored when you already know what the rest of us are trying to learn? In case you hadn't noticed Harry, you have beaten seventh years in the Dueling club. No one else has even come close to that. Don't you see Harry? You are brilliant in DADA. I am sure Professor Lupin wouldn't mind the help."
The next morning Harry asked to see Albus, and brought up Luna and Hermione's thought. Albus was astounded that the students had been thinking the same thing he had. They acted faster than he did. Albus was going to wait two or three weeks before he approached Harry with this request.
"Harry, tell Luna and Hermione that I thank them for this idea, and that I fully support it. I just need to know where you will be conducting the class, and who all wishes to attend. I believe it should be open to the whole school, all years. With the castle playing host to the Dementors, every one should be able to protect them selves."
"But what about Professor Lupin, sir. Wouldn't it be insulting for me to teach the same things he is?"
"Just ask him my boy. Professor Lupin is a fair minded person. Perhaps he will even assist you."
"Assist me? Wouldn't that be the other way around. I could never presume that I know as much as he does."
"Yes yes Harry, but this is after school hours we are talking here. You will find that you can communicate with the students better at their level."
"But what about students from higher year levels?"
"Harry, this is not mandatory. It is all by choice. If they choose to participate then they are there because they want to learn, not embarrass you. You must understand Harry that what ever you do to help the students and the Professor is much better than seeing someone get hurt because they can't perform a spell correctly, or know the correct wand movement."
"All right Professor, I will tell Luna and Hermione to pass the word around about the training. Do you think we should call this class something special?"
"I am sure Miss Granger or your sister can come up with something appropriate. If you wish to call yourself something though, it has to be accepted by the majority of entire group, not just you three."
"Yes sir, and thank you sir, for listening to me ."
"Harry, to let you know, I was planning on approaching you on this very same subject in two or three weeks. I fear that we may be facing something bad this year, and I want you all prepared."
"We will be sir. I will look for the best area to train in, and let you know when I find it."
"Thank you Harry for doing this. You don't know how much this eases my mind. You are stronger than you think you are Harry. Far stronger."
"So I have been told sir. I guess I have to believe it now."
