Chapter thirty-eight – Training and Stories

Four hours later

"Are they still training?" Fynn asked as she came hovering on the tree where Gus, and now some other mages, were sitting and watching Harry and Layden,

"Yeah... The human won't give up! He has managed to swing Blade around! And then Layden began to teach him wandless magic..."

"Why, doesn't he know how to use it??"

"No! Humans only use their wands. They sometimes don't even know about their wandless magic..."

"Oh... And how is he doing?"

"You won't belive it, but he is extremely good! I think he already can control it now! But as we can't hear what they are talking about..."

"They are not talking!" One of the other mages said. "Look at it, they are just looking at each other! And as if they are speaking, the human nods! That's weird! I wonder what they are doing!?"

"I've got no clue... But I think they are somehow talking..."

"You mean telepathy? But Layden isn't a telepath and I doubt the human is!"

"Well, we don't know... But they should end it now! The human will fall unconscious if he doesn't get any sleep! He must be exhausted!" But Blade and Layden continued to train. After five more hours the mages returned to see if they had finally finished, but to their shock they saw Layden and Blade still in the clearing. Blade kept snipping his fingers and vanished, only to reappear some feet away. And they all gaped at the scene,

"Tell me I am dreaming. This is unbelievable! He is already teleporting! That's impossible! They have been training for more than nine hours now!! How can the human stand that?!"

"Hey, look at his face! I have never seen so much exhaustion, determination and concentration at once..." Gus shook his head in disbelief. Fynn crossed her arms over her chest,

"Why is Layden doing that to the human?! This is too much for a normal person! No one could ever cope with this! He hasn't had anything to eat or drink in the last nine hours! No break! That's cruel!"

"I don't want to be put into the human's skin now! Good that Layden is not my master!!" And everyone agreed to that. Instead of jealousy they felt something like pity for the human.

"I think I am going to bring him something to eat and drink!" Fynn said thoughtful.

"Yeah, he really needs something... at least something to drink!" And five minutes later Fynn was walking towards the clearing with a large glass of water and a large piece of bread. When she came nearer she saw the human, lifting Blade as if it was nothing. He was swinging it around and after throwing it in the air catched it again.

"Blade, we really should stop now..." Layden said and the human answered,

"Oh come on, master. I can't stop now...! It's just working so good!"

"Aren't you thirsty or hungry?"

"Hm? Well a bit, but still..."

"Don't worry, we will continue tomorrow. You already did more than you should be able to do on the first day. You can already hover and fly, teleport, you can control your telepathy and even lift Blade. Come on Blade. You need to sleep too!" And Blade sighed and put the sword back down.

"Okay, okay."

"You'll sleep on a tree. If you want food in the morning you will find it at the sea. You don't need any money or anything, only if you want to get books. You can get some food at the sea now too... Oh, Fynn...!" Layden said as Fynn came nearer with her plate,

"I just thought you'd need something to eat... We were wondering when you'd stop." She said. She was still standing in some safe distance from Harry as she put the plate on a log.

"We are just about to do so..."

"Thank you!" Harry smiled at her and she shyly smiled back. Harry drank most of the water and took the bread with him,

"Well, good night you two." Layden said.

"Good night, master."

"Good night, Layden." And they both went out of the clearing and into the forest where Harry searched for a nice tree. He found one not too for from the clearing and hovered on it. There he made himself as comfortable as possible and leaned back to look at the clear sky. And then he heard a voice from his right side,

"Are you really Harry Potter?" It was Fynn. She was sitting on another tree and looked curiously at him,

"Yeah... I am the impertinent brat Harry James Potter." He smirked and she giggled,

"How did you get to that? I mean the 'impertinent brat'!?"

"My Potions teacher loved to call me that. He loathed me... I was the 'new celibrity'" He mimiced the Snape-tone. Fynn giggled again,

"What has your life been like?"

"I thought you already knew?"

"Only the most important things. Just that you are the'saviour of the wizarding world'" Harry snorted,

"Yeah. But I doubt you would be interested in how I grew up...!?"

"Oh, I would like to know how humans grow up...!" She said,

"Then you shouldn't ask me... I do not know how normal people grow up. No, I grew up completely different."

"Then let me know about it...!" Harry smiled at her and told her everything until the end of his first year. His voice trailed off and as he catched himself he said,

"Well, that was my first year... And if you really want to, I'll tell you about the second too..."

"Naturally! This is really intersting!" She yawned, "But I think I will go to bed now... Good night!"

"Good night!" And Harry lay his head back down. After five minutes he fell asleep.

Author's note: I know, I know, it is SHORT... But I can tell you that... looks at the next chapters and swallows erm... shrinks chapter 42 will be longer!!! g The next chapters will be as short as this one... I'm sorry about that, but... Well, it just is like that... I wrote 5 chapters in one morning, so I can update two chapters today, because I am visiting friends in Bielefeld today and I won't be back until Sunday evening. But aren't two short chapters as good as one long chapter?!?!

Well, keep reviewing!!! )
