Here's the next chapter I hope you like it. Please read and review thanks love Hermione xxx
Kingsley Shacklebolt was shocked to be assigned as the new permanent dark arts teacher at Hogwarts. He had vowed that he would only teach there if he could examine the wards of the school and the classroom with an expert. Too many people in that position had gone dark and it was high time someone investigated it. He was not sure Dumbledore would agree to it but shocked when he said he was ok with it as long as the Ministry funded it themselves which they did. The Ministry was only too happy to be able to fund something this good.
He had told Dumbledore that he reserved the right to fully clear out, clean and either keep or destroy certain items. Dumbledore had told him that as long as they did not pertain to certain houses of the school he could indeed which he thought was fair. He arrived with his expert in the morning and they set about looking all around the outside. They found out that one of the ward stones which had been down for over a thousand years was decaying and so causing the ward system troubles. It was decided to replace it with a brand new replica and transfer the powers from the old one however that wasn't necessary.
When the new ward stone was entered the old one merely crumbled to a pile of ash and blew away. The whole castle shook for five minutes while the wards reset themselves but then they were the most secure they'd ever been. They then heard a blast sound as an explosion was heard within the school. He rushed inside to find the source of it and found the classroom he'd be expected to work in soon with half of its wall gone. Dumbledore came there at once.
"It would seem Kingsley that when the new and improved wards scanned the school it detected a threat here and neutralised it by itself" he said as they observed a green ugly coloured ill fitting ward stone shooting into his hands as the wall practically spit it out before repairing itself much to everyone's shock.
"Well Dumbledore this here is an evil ward with Thomas Marvolo Riddles signature on it. He planted this here so no one who ever taught here would last more then a year. Well thanks to this marvellous school and my work so far that has been put to an end. At long last we can say this is the most secure school in the United Kingdom and mean it!" he said as he went with the expert around the school. The expert Marina exclaimed when they reached the room of requirement.
"Kingsley this room is full of riches and evil items of old. It would be most prudent to clean it out now. I suggest we enter and find the nearest empty trunks we can. We can cast an undetectable extension charm on them and make them carry the items back to the Ministry warehouse where they may be sorted. I think we should start with clothes and brooms and go from there!" she said as he smiled at her.
"Yes I do think we should. You put the clothes into your trunk and I'll put the brooms into mine. I think each item should have its own trunk. I know things this room can do from experience so I will ask it to give us two weeks inside this room and eight hours outside to pass. This way we won't be missed" he said as they set out to work.
By the end of the first day they had collected ten thousand broomsticks and fifty thousand articles of clothing from every century and still the room looked packed to the rafters. They were two million wands which left him utterly stumped. I mean he could have many back ups if he wanted to. This gave him an idea to put them to use. He would have to calculate how many of them were still working and go from there. If he could orchestrate it everyone would have a second traceless wand on them which they would only get after they vowed on their life and magic to show it or use it on or in front of no muggles who didn't already know they were a witch or wizard. This would mean people could protect themselves if Voldemort was around without having to worry about the trace. At least this way muggleborn students could protect their families at home.
He had them all crammed into a bag with another undetectable extension charm on it. They found a total of ten trunks worth of extended evil and dark arts stuff which was taken away and destroyed by the curse breakers at the bank who were only too happy to have more work to do. It would mean a huge payday for them and this way everyone really did win. A lot of memorabilia from the various houses was found and returned to the heads of them. At the end of his two weeks he was thoroughly exhausted but thrilled with his work. He had found a total of four billion galleons in various trunks which he decided to split up giving one million to each citizen of their country after all they did have over a million of them. He gave ten million to the schools budget and provided top of the range nimbus brooms to the school for the quidditch teams and first year flyers to use. This way everyone would have a fair shot at quidditch instead of just one or two people having great brooms while everyone else had poor or old ones. All in all he'd done well indeed.
He had decided to try and teach his first with Harry Potter differently. He would teach them how to do a spell but not tell them what it did. He was curious to see if it would work better if they didn't know what it did. They entered the room and sat down as he descended from his office smiling at them all. He was hovering what appeared to be a large sack behind him and it banged loudly when he laid it on the table.
"Good afternoon class. As you can probably now see your school is the most secure it has been since its conception. Now I will call you up one by one starting with you there and so on. You are to raise your hand over the opening of this bag and allow your magic to feel in the bag for something compatible. Should that thing be found you are to call it forth to you from the bag! It is a new or should we say second wand. I will get into the specifics later on" he said as they all gasped at him.
As a consequence of her position Hermione was the first to go. Knowing what it was beforehand seriously helped her. She had used her magic and pulled another vine wood and dragon heartstring cored wand from the bag and sat down. Harry himself chose a wand made of elder wood with the core of a firebird feather. It was black with gold lines going all around it in a big swirl design. It looked gorgeous.
"Good job everyone. Ten points to all houses for cooperation in class. Now then put your second wands down because I will teach you a spell. I will not tell you what it does only that it will not harm you. The words of this spell are expecto patronum. You cannot simply cast the spell though as it won't work that way. I want you all to close your eyes and think of a happy moment in your life. Think of the happiest moment you can. Allow that happy feeling to fill you up to your core. When you are ready open your eyes and cast the spell!" he said as Harry thought of the moment he married Luna feeling extreme happiness in his core. He cast the spell putting all of those happy feelings into it as he thought that would best. He shrieked as a huge white dragon burst forth from his wand and flew around the room to land before him and bow.
"Can you understand me?" he asked to which the dragon nodded as everyone else looked on in awe.
"Can you deliver messages for me?" he asked again as the dragon nodded.
"Could you tell Luna my girlfriend I love her!" he asked as the dragon made a weird trilling noise and travelled from the room at once. It arrived in charms class scaring Professor Flitwick who watched as it circled around finding Luna and telling her his message. She was in awe of it and while most of the class thought to mock her for it they were too stunned to do anything. It bowed at once and left her side. Back in Harry's classroom everyone was still in awe.
"Harry Potter congratulations. I must award Gryffindor twenty five points for amazing talent. You did truly earn them. Wow. You know I will let you all in on a secret. As an Auror this spell is one of the first ones we must master and it took me three months to master it. I never got it in my first time either. Sometimes when we first produce it the white mist which emerges has no shape and this is normal but what Harry here produced is what we call a corporeal patronus. Please keep going!" he encouraged.
Hermione was frustrated she'd not been the first person to get it as she thought it might make her look bad in her new teachers eyes but when she learned it had taken him three months to get this particular spell himself she was more then happy about it. Half an hour later a playful otter shot from her wand dancing around the room in glee. People once again stopped to watch it and Shacklebolt gasped.
"Miss Granger please forgive the insensitive question but were you adopted? I only ask as a colleague at work has that exact same patronus and that is rare in our world!" he said as she gasped.
"No I am not adopted sir. Who is this colleague?" she asked as he smiled at her.
"Well it's Mr Arthur Weasley Ronald Weasley's father of course. He is a wonderful man indeed. In our world having the same patronus as someone else means only one of two things. Either you are related to them or destined to find love with someone related to them!" he said glancing at Ron who looked dumbfounded. He awarded her ten points as people continued. Ron's own patronus was a dolphin. It was actually Fred who had the otter patronus like his father. Kingsley was shocked to the core that with proper instruction in two hours this whole class was producing a patronus. It was amazing.
"Before you all leave each house is to take another twenty points each. This is astounded to say the least. I daresay other years might find this harder. This spell is used to fend off a dementor which are horrendous creatures which guard our Azkaban prison. They suck out every piece of happiness and hope you have if you allow them to. This spell protects you from them as your animal literally chases them away so they leave you alone and they don't return to you. Happiness is the one thing which truly kills a dementor. Thank you for a good lesson everyone" he said as he prepared for his next lesson to enter. It was indeed a good lesson.
