D.A. Meeting 10:20 pmR. Spell Training
"The First offensive spell I have for you today is called the concussion hex. The concussion hex expels the same amount of kinetic force as a muggle gun but without actually piercing. The results are very similar to a rubber bullet," Miles explained to the D.A.
"Why would muggles make weapons of rubber," Daphne asked.
Before Miles could answer Harry did, "Muggles use rubber bullet's as a non lethal form of weapon. Kind of like a stunning spell or the concussion hex," Harry laughed and waved the floor back to Miles with an exaggerated flourish of his arm.
"The concussion hex is an important tool because it has no wand movement other than aiming your wand, and the incantation is only two syllables Air-Taz," Miles finished his explanation and turned to Harry, but was too slow.
Harry already had his wand trained on Miles and began to pelt him the second he had turned.
After taking a dozen hits to the face, Miles dove to the ground drawing his wand as he rolled back to his feet.
The concussion hexes started streaming back and forth like machine guns from the two duelists, as the dodge ducked and parried each others hexes for a minute straight and then stopped at once, they saluted each other and then Miles stepped back to the front of the platform.
"The simple incantation allows you to stream multiple hexes at once like a machine gun, like you just saw. You all will get to that level eventually, for now though were working on aim and pain tolerance so pair up and get ready for bruises," Miles stepped of the raised platform and began helping D.A. members with aiming.
Ten Minutes Later RoR – Offensive Spell Training
"Your second offensive spell today, is my pick," Harry said as he and the other instructors moved back to their raised platform.
"This spell is called the dislocation hex and is perfect for dirty fighting. All you have to do is aim at the appendage you would like to dislocate and speak the incantation Umendo Sevritas," Harry explained without demonstrating the skill.
"We're going to practice on the dummies first," Harry said with a serious face, before he lost control and started laughing.
"As much fun as having you practice on each other, the teachers think its inappropriate, so just get the aiming down and we'll move on," Harry said with a smirk still plastered across his face.
Fifteen Minutes Later RoR – Offensive Spell Training
The Instructors moved back to their raised platform, Abby took the stage this time.
"This spell is actually and outdated and overpowered construction charm, it's called the Homenus Nail charm. You first must envision the nail that you need in your mind, my personal favorite is the railroad spike. Then, you swing your wand like a hammer and say the enchantment Hamdrus Mara," Abby swung her hand down like a hammer and an oversized nail appeared in the air ; as she swung, the oversized nail embedded itself in the enchanted stone floor.
"The direction you move your wand determines the way the nail is hammered," Abby swung her wand in a backhanded motion at the wall and a second railroad spike drove itself into the wall.
"Were going to practice on large blocks of wood first, because if you don't get the spell right on stone, you can bounce your nail into you or your partner," the room conjured large blocks of wood for the D.A. to practice with
Ten Minutes Later RoR – General Magic Training
"Now we have a few new additions before you learn a new binding method," Harry said.
"Thank you Harry," Miles said as he overpowered whatever Harry said next.
"First you're going to learn an advanced personal shielding spell. The wand movement is a circle around your body, the incantation is Rein Revolvo," Miles performed the spell and four shields shot from his wand and began to spin around his body, and then abruptly stopped.
"The shields spin however you will them to, they can stop completely, you can focus them into a single shield, compress them to smaller more powerful shields, and basically change them to any form if you have the will power.
It takes my full concentration and half my internal magic to even stop the shields for more than a few minutes," Abby explained while Miles demonstrated.
"I hope you're excited," Abby's voice oozed with excitement, "because I am. As the resident ninja-assassin," Abby paused for laughter, "I introduce you to your first camouflage technique" Abby tapped her arm and said, "Refra Scapra" and she disappeared from sight.
"This technique works well if you stand still," Miles explained as he searched for Abby, "when you move, a faint outline can be seen."
Miles crouched down in to a relaxed stance and scanned the area his wand drawn and trained at nothing in particular.
"Also be aware that the illusion only works in the front and the back, you're still visible from the sides. This spell just copies what's in front of you and displays it on your back, and vice-versa," Miles jabbed his wand and Abby returned to view.
"There is no exact counter for this spell though, the only way to cancel it is tiring and the caster attempting to cancel the spell must have a stronger will than the cloaked person," Abby said as she walked back to the front of the raised platform.
"The second camouflage spell is an advanced notice-me-not charm, the incantation is Sinsabe Gael. This spell blends the caster in with the background, so anyone that notices you will merely overlook your presence," Abby explained.
"If you combine these two spells it's very unlikely that you'll be seen by most magic users and very few magical creatures," Abby continued to talk as Harry and Miles discussed something behind her.
The D.A. tried not to laugh as Harry and Miles had a very animated game of rock paper scissors while Abby continued to talk. The game ended with Miles celbrating and Harry pouting.
"The next spell's is a spell that was created by Miles and Harry, most of you muggle-borns or half-bloods will recognize it's origins, it can be used to bind someone, plus it has a number of other uses"
Miles moved his wand in a box formation and shouted "Carbinte Conservo".
Harry hit the ground with a metallic thud; he was encased in Carbonite like Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back. A few of the D.A. member's jaws looked dislocated and Hermione looked like she was fighting the urge to pass out.
"We created this spell after watching Empire Strikes Back one day, to release the spell say 'Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master' or you can say Harry's favorite as well, 'Slave Leia Is Hot'," Miles said.
When Miles said the counter the slab of carbonite began to glow and Harry fell out on to the floor as the fictional metal disappeared.
"Luckily the carbonite sickness that Han Solo contracted only happens after a few months," Miles walked to Harry and helped him to his feet.
"Yeah a few minutes just gives you carbonite hangover," Harry laughed as he stumbled to his feet, "it makes you dizzy out of your mind too."
"We have ten minutes left until we start martial arts training so you're going to start down the road to becoming Animagi. Like with elemental magic affinities the Animagus transformation is predetermined by your magic upon your birth. First you must medate and fin your core," Miles paused for all the students to begin meditation.
"Lower your head when you've found your core," Miles voice rang out, hypotonic, as Abby and Harry started a slow soft chant.
One by one the D.A. members heads lowered slack as they found their magical cores once again.
"Good, now look around an call out to your inner animal. Call up the primal feelings you've felt your entire life, feel the detachment of the animal's primitive emotions. Call out to the voice you've heard in your thoughts, the voice you ignored, look for it call to it," Miles closed his eyes as he spoke his hand's began to glow a bright yellow, a large rune cluster on his back lit up.
Abby and Harry's chanting continued, Miles aura began to pulse a dark gold, bathing the room in waves of amber and yellow.
Beneath Miles eyelids a dark red glow started to burn brightly as a third dark red light pulsed on his forehead identical to the other two eyes.
The third eye pulsed rapidly as Miles golden aura began to move outside of his body, forming a golden spectre of his form.
"When you've found the whispers' of the voice hold your head up and straighten your back, don't rush just remain just out of range of the emotions, allow the alien feelings to prickle your skin and then slowly wash over you," Miles eyes opened and he saw the D.A. move as one, completely in sink their heads rose and Miles could see goose-bumps form.
"Now call out to the voice," Miles golden aura exploded silently in a burst of color and began to swirl around the D.A.
The members of the D.A.: roared, growled, chirped, sang, meowed etc. each person made the call of their respective inner animals.
Shocked by the sounds coming from their mouth's the D.A. all jumped to their feet.
Miles closed his eyes again and the light show stopped, and then he started chuckling.
"Congratulations, you all took your first step in discovering your animal, the golden orb floating in front of you will play you the sounds you made tonight so you can begin to speculate what type of animal you are," Miles said as he closed his eyes again and a new door appeared on the wall of the RoR.
"You have ten minutes for listening to your inner animal, and sharing with your friends, and then come through he door to martial arts training.
10 Minutes Later RoR – Martial Arts Training
"The first thing we do before we start training is basic exercises to warm and loosen up our bodies," Abby explained.
"Everyone grab a wall, put one hand on the wall to balance your self. We're going to start with side kicks," Harry demonstrated a low ankle level side kick, "we start low on one slowly kicking higher with each number until we reach waist height at 10, then we count down from ten starting at waist height and move down to ankle level again."
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10," Miles shouted, the D.A. clumsily rushed to follow their instructors count, when they hit ten every one of them was struggling and thinking their exercise complete they began to lower their legs.
"Now hold it," Miles shouted causing the D.A. students to bring their tired legs back up, "hold your kick out at waist level, use the wall for balance but hold the kick," some of the least athletic members of the D.A were red in the face as they struggled to hold their legs at waist level.
"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1," Abby yelled, all the students rushed to follow the instructions hoping that their torment would end and on one they almost put their feet on the ground.
"You know the drill kids, hold it," Abby called, now the D.A. now struggled collectively to hold their fatigued feet just a few inches from the ground, "hold it, relax,".
The students sighed as they finally had their feet on the ground again.
"Switch sides, " Harry yelled immediately after Abby had said to relax.
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10," The students had less trouble this time as they partially knew what to expect, they didn't even lower their legs they held them at attention until they heard Gaia call.
"10, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1," the students held their feet barely above the ground waiting again for the brief relief they knew would come.
"Ok relax," the student sighed, once they were allowed to rest, "we're going to move on to basic front kicks and back kicks."
Gaia demonstrated a low front kick followed by a low high kick, "It's the same as before, count of ten, higher kicks with each number, get ready."
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10," the students held their kicks in the air, "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1," the students had the system down, and they did three sets of the front and back kicks.
"Ok you get a slight rest while I demonstrate the next exercise," Miles said, as he walked the stage slowly rose from the floor, Miles along with the other instructors hopped back onto their raised platform.
"First you're going to get in a horse stance," Miles moved his feet to about shoulder with and bent his knees, "then, place your fists at your hip, and throw a punch," Miles demonstrated a proper punch, "then repeat with your other hand, and replace the alternate hand on your hip."
"Ok get in the horse stance," the students got into horse stances with little trouble, "and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20."
"Hands at your hips," Abby yelled, the students repeated the punching exercise's 10 times.
The students were pushed to the edge for the next 20 minutes, they were forced to learn 12 different styles of hand attack, 4 different kicks, and Proper stances and movement.
By the end of martial arts training the entire room, minus the instructors of course, were covered in sweat and their eyes were beginning to droop from exhaustion.
"Before we depart, I want you all to meditate and find your inner animal one more time," the students sat back on the ground and meditated once more, the chanting behind Miles voice was noticeably louder, the students trance was deeper than before their animals respective coo's started in time with the chant.
The chanting stopped and all the students' eyes snapped open, their faces looked inhuman, pure untamed animalistic fury that lasted for 10 seconds before it washed away to dazed startle looks.
"You just felt your animal's influence for the first time, as you become Animagi you'll learn to control the raw instinct of your inner animal," Miles explained.
"Sleep well and we'll see you all tomorrow in class," Abby said.
"Not you Harry you have to stay with us," Miles said as he grabbed the back of Harry's shirt and pulled him back into the RoR.
