Abracadabra Keeperoliver Chapter 14

Harry an Hermione were on the platform 9 3/4, waiting for Ginny, Luna, The rest of the Weasleys, and Draco. They were joined with a sullen Neville Longbottom. "Hey Nev, why the long face." Harry asked.

"Oh, nothing really Harry, just thinking about something. I'll be over it, once the tran gets going, and we re all together again. Do, are you looking forward to our second year." Neville asked, glad to get away from the subject.

"Oh yeah. Hermione has been going nuts, wanting the time to go by faster. I think she misses someone." Harry grinned.

Hermione swatted his arm, "Prat. You know I just want to get the year started, seeing as how Aunt Minerva promised to teach us how to start our Animagus training."

Neville perked up at this. "Is she really? Is this for everybody, or just a select few?"

Hermione looked into Neville's eyes, and saw he was really interested. "I suppose I can ask her about you joining the group. Right now, it is Harry, me, Ginny, Luna and Draco. Fred and George have already started. Once we learn what our forms will be, then maybe the rest of the group will be taught. Daphne, Tracy, Blaise, Susan, Hannah, and Padma. You should train with us, to help out with the rest. I'm sure Aunt Minerva will agree."

Neville had a grin that went from ear to ear. He wanted to learn how to be an Animagus since he learned his mom and dad were both animagi. He learned that his Mom was a leopard, and his dad was a bobcat. "I hope she agrees. It gives me something to look forward to this year."

They were soon joined by he rest of their party, and they bid the adults goodbye, and boarded the train. Harry, Ginny, Luna, Hermione Draco and Neville soon found an empty compartment and took a seat. The train took off, and left the station. The group fell into light conversations, when the topic of Lucius Malfoy came up, and Draco's face went sour. "Do we have to talk about that Arse?"

All but Harry and Hermione looked at him strangely. "Sorry, touchy subject with me."

Soon the food cart came around, and they made purchases and sat and ate the treats as they continued their talk. They were joined by Fred and Daphne, and George and Tracy. They struck up a friendship in first year, and are trying to see if maybe it could become more. Blaise had done the same with Susan Bones. Ron and Lavender had become more than just friends, as they were often seen hand in hand. Hermione and Draco were at that stage as well.

Draco felt at home with this group of friends. He often wondered what would have happened if Hermione hadn't saved him and Dobby back before first year started. Three times he has faced Lucius since then, and every time, he has been left looking like the loser he really is. The last was Harry showing him how strong his magic was. Draco believed Harry hasn't even touched the tip of the iceberg, as far as his strength goes. Hermione, was another factor that worked in the light's favor. They have yet to learn what she is fully capable of with that spell. Now Ginny is able to control the weather, and what is the power Luna controls. She is so funny with her sitting there blowing bubbles at every one. Fred and George have tried to copy her spell. trying to create their own version of the bubbles.

A strong sense of danger hit Harry, half way through their trip, and he looked up just in time to see Parkinson, Nott and two other members of Slytherins hit the five males in the cabin with freezing charms. They opened the door, and Pansy hit Hermione with a disarming charm. Ginny was also hit. Luna had her wand hidden in her sleeve, and Daphne and Tracy had their wands taken. What the four Slytherins didn't know was that Ginny and Hermione's wand automatically returned to them. Nott walked into the cabin, and ran his hand through Daphne's hair, then grabbed it, and jerked her head back. "I told you we would get back at you and Davies for abandoning Slytherin. Now, you two are coming with us, to join your friend Zabini. We have a nice little party planned."

All at once three spells were heard at the same time.

"ABRACADABRA!"

"ALLA KAZAM!"

"BIBBITY BOBBITY BOO!"

The three spells joined their magic, and surrounded the four Slytherins that threatened their friends. The magic formed a shield that would not allow any spell that the four cast to leave the enclosure. It absorbed the spell and did not redirect it. Then it lifted the four, and took them to wear they had Blaise. Blaise was then lifted from where he was bound, and brought to where his friends were and gently brought him to the floor, releasing him from his binds. The spell also released the five boys.

Everyone looked around to see the others rwaction. Luna was the one that was smiling, and said, "Perfect."

Hermione looked to the blond, "What was perfect Luna?"

"Our spell. Don't you see, we all wished for the confrontation to end, with the safe return of Blaise. They acted together to bring about what we wanted. I asked for a protective bubble, Hermione I would assume asked for them to be gone, and for Blaise to return,and Ginny wanted them blown away, which if we hadn't used our magic, Hermione, they would have been injured or worse, killed. Ginny you do need to watch what you ask for."

Ginny blushed at his comment. "Sorry."

"Luna, did you know this was going to happen?" Hermione asked?

Luna answered, "I didn't know what the spell would be, but, I knew they would connect, to control the situation. I knew Ginny's wasn't intending to harm anyone, but, the way she worded her thoughts, could have. My spell was meant to control the magic to prevent this from happening. Yours was like a mild banishing, and summoning spell."

The rest of the people in the cabin sat dumb founded at what Luna was saying. All except Harry. He knew Luna was something special. He felt she was a calming force for Ginny. Ginny he knew, was a fierce protector of her friends. Hermione was a gentle soul, who did not want to hurt anyone, but, if upset, she would come to your aid with out a thought for herself. What amazed Harry, were the wands. There was something about them, that had him feeling good about who had them. Hermione's Abracadabra was what he considered a wishing spell. Not so much a proprietary spell, but a happening spell. She wants something to happen, and it happens. Ginny's was in his opinion, not weather controlling, but feelings that affected the weather, or atmosphere. If she was happy, then the weather would reflect it. If sad, cloudy, if angry, thunderstorms. Hers could be the most deadly of the spells. Luna's was a calming spell. It created a serene setting for the people she directs it at. Bringing them to a peaceful state of mind.

Together, they could take control of ones thoughts, and put any emotion it wanted to the individual. if the person wasn't expecting it. He or she had to be weak willed for it to work, or unaware of the emotion being planted.

Harry also wondered what other material could be used to make a wand, and what could be used for a core. Did it have to be Magical? Could it be Biblical, or Historical. Scientific. Biological, Genealogical. Archaeological. The ideas were endless. He had to get with Ollivander to test his theory. First he had to find the right materials. He would have a special wand, for when he had to face Tom.

The gathering in the common room had Harry and Hermione going over what they would concern themselves with this in their special classes. Remus, with the help of the two founders would teach them how to defend them selves from the stronger spells from the Dark Arts. True, no one is supposed to survive the Killing curse, but, it does not mean you can't defend yourself from it. Obstacles thrown in it's path Walls created to absorb the spell. Using another dead body to take the curse. These are the things they will be taught. Not the whole school. No, just those in the study group.

In another part of the school, a young girl was writing in her new diary, about her first day.

Day 1

I can't believe I finally made it here. It's so amazing to see all the magic it took to create the paintings, the staircases, the scenery in the great hall. and the food served at the meals. I can't wait to start learning magic.

I met some really interesting people here as well. Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, Harry Granger, Daphne Greengrass, Tracy Davies, oh and Blaise Zabini. He was so nice. He helped me with my trunk, when I boarded the train. We talked for a bit, but, he said he had to see some friends, but, we could talk later. I hope he does.

Well so much for first my first day, I will start day 2, in the morning.

End Entry

She started to close the book, when she saw all her writing start to disappear. "What the heck?"

Then a new entry was being made.

Hello, my name is Tom. I am glad to see you enjoyed your first day. I hope the rest are just as fun for you. If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?

Then the entry also disappeared.

She closed the book, not daring to open it again that evening. She wondered what kind of magic could be used to to create a book that answers your writing. It was kind of spooky and scary. Oh well, she would worry about it tomorrow, it was time for bed.

Remus was settling in to his new surrounding, along with Rena, Rick, and Sirius. Severus soon joined them for tea. Severus could not get over James and Lily in their new bodies. Hermione's Magic was more powerful that he imagined. He was forming a relationship wit Cissa,and she would be joining him in the castle in a few days, after she finished with her divorce from Lucius. He was still furious about the incident that Took place in Diagon Alley. Malfoy had used Severus' own creation against Draco, and had hurt Miss Grange with it. Then the surprise of Harry's being able to use wordless magic, or silent magic. This group was just full of surprises.

Sirius had been having fun with James and Lily, getting them to talk to different people using their different voices. Filius was the funniest incident. Sirius thought back to about six hours ago:

"Filius, I would like you to meet Godric Gryffindor, James Potter, and Dobby the elf. And this is Rowena Ravenclaw, Lily Potter, and Libby the elf."

"Sirius, there are only two people here, Where are James and Lily, and the two elves you talked about?"

"I'm right here Professor." Said James from the body of Godric.

"Oh good. I love a good Ventriloquist act. You must show me how you do the Sirius." said Filius.

Then Lily spoke from Rowena's body. "Filius, it really is us."

Filius looked at Sirius, "You do female voices as well. I'm impressed Mr Black. They are very hard to do. And you sounded just like dear Lily. Is she still with Hedwig, Harry's owl?"

"Filius, I'm right here. Sirius is not doing this." Lily continued.

"Sirius, have you got any other voices?" Filius asked?

Dobby got into the act, "Professor sir, does this work. Dobby will be here if you need him."

Filius started to rock on the balls of his feet. "Oh this is marvelous Mr. Black. Will have to give a show to the students, to present your talents to the students. Perhaps if you had a dummy, it would be more realistic."

Then, Filius was blown away, "Filius Flitwick, I am Lily Potter. (And I am Rowena Ravenclaw) {And I be Libby the elf.}" This was continued by James. "I am James Potter. {And Godric Gryffindor) {And I be Dobby sir}"

"Mr. Black, you may be good, but, not that good. so these people are able to so this for there own. But I don't see the benefit of doing a show, if they can speak for themselves. Really Sirius, you have to be more original than that. Why did you even suggest doing a show, anyway." And Filius walked off, knowing he just ruined Sirius' fun. Sirius knew he had been bested by a pro.

Sirius snapped out of his fog, as Severus was asking James if there was a chance of getting Salazar and Helga back.

"Sev, they will be joining us sometime this school year. Certain things need to take place, and then it will happen. Something must be found first, before someone gets hurt."

"Do you know what it is?"

"Yes, I do, thanks to Dobby. It's Tom Riddle's diary, and it is very dark magic. I think he may use it to control someone to do his bidding, like last year, with Professor Quirrell."

Rick took over for James, "I think it may have something to do with what Salazar has hidden in the castle. He put it there to protect the students, in Case the need arose. I have no idea what it is, or where it is. Sal was very secretive about it."

"This is why we need him soon. Before an innocent gets hurt." Sev responded.

After breakfast, Harry, Ginny, Luna, Hermione and Draco headed to class. It was their first glimpse of Remus as the DADA Professor, and they were looking forward to it. As they waited for the doors to open, they talked about what to expect. Draco had just started his remarks, when the door came open, and Professor Lupin brought them into the class room. He began, "It's good to see every body is ready to start the new school year, ready to learn what I have to teach you. As every one knows, even though he is gone, the threat of Voldemort..." This drew a loud number of gasps from the students, "Listen to me all of you. To fear a name, is allowing your self to accept defeat. By saying his name, you are showing others that you are not afraid of him. Now, to continue, though he is gone, his Death Eaters are still out there, and can still spread fear among those who are not willing to protect them selves. I'm afraid, that their numbers are very high. Can any one tell me why that is?"

Hermione's hand shot up in the air. "Yes Miss Granger."

"Professor, it is the fear that Voldemort set in people, before his demise. They did not defend them selves back then, and now that he is gone, they see no reason to have to protect them selves again."

"Very good Miss Granger. That is the biggest part of the reason, but, there is something else that makes it even harder to accept. Anyone else? Harry Granger, would you care to try?"

"I think sir, most people fear he may return, and they don't want to give him a reason to seek them out. When Professor Dumbledore's statement made the paper, that he thought that He may be gone, but, could be back, it caused the people to shrink back into there holes, and try to hide from the eyes of the DEs. With the Death Eaters still causing havoc, the public are relying on the Ministry to protect them, and the Ministry is like the public. They have no idea where they will strike next. The Death Eaters are using this fear, to keep the public at bay. They do not wish to give then a rallying point."

"Outstanding Mr. Granger. That is the perfect answer. If you keep the public scared, they will be confused. With them confused, if you treat them like sheep they will follow you to where ever you lead them. They are not trained fighters, and don't know how to handle themselves in these type situations the more people that are trained, the more likely Voldemort fails. It is sort of like the Minutemen, during the American Revolution. Trained citizens were used to bring about the defeat of the skilled British troops, thus bringing about their freedom. If the public could band together, and fight back, the Death Eaters would fall like flies to the people. But, instead, they let them continue their reign of terror. It is with this understanding that I will train you all to have a chance to live. To maybe train your families in the same way. To form our own militia. Become like the Minutemen, and fight for our freedom."

Remus received a round of applause with his speech, and then the class began, with Remus teaching them Shields, counter curses, dueling tactics, dodging spells, and anything that would give them a fighting chance to survive.

The class was still talking about Professor Lupin, when lunch time came. Remus told the class about a dueling club he wanted to start up, and asked for people to sign up for it. Harry's whole class signed up. In fact, the whole school signed up, all years. It would be taught for all years together. The reason for this, was because Death Eaters didn't choose a certain age group, they went after them all.

This is where Rick and Rena were to play an intricate part. They wanted them all to be ready, when the time came to face Voldemort, and his Death Eaters.
