Author's notes: thanks for telling me about the spelling. You can't blame me though, I'm
working with Notepad here, and it doesn't have spellcheck. Also, what happened to my
reviews? 628 hits, but 33 reviews. Does somebody see anything wrong here? And again,
thanks everyone for their reviews! :
Chapter Four - Merlin
"He's finally come," whispered Merlin in joy, and his eyes were brimming with tears. The
Heir had finally come! "I must cast the spell quickly," he told himself, rushing around his
room to find the components, "ere' he wakes up, and then, it will not work." Merlin stood
above a bubbling black cauldron, and took a pinch of a silvery-blue powder from a pouch
he had laid on the table, and chanted,"
Spirits heed my call,
so that the Dark shall fall.
The Phoenix I must speak to and see,
let him come and talk to me,
so he shall learn what must be done,
and then happily will shine the sun. " (I apologize for the really bad rhyme.)
Then, he threw the pinch of powder into the cauldron, and silvery-white sparks shot out
of it, raining in the room. Once they touched Merlin, he was incased in a glowing white
barrier of energy. It crackled and moved as Merlin intoned," Take me there," And then,
he was gone, and the only evidence of his passage was a silvery streak of light that still
shone, and the cauldron.

"Harry," whispered a faint voice. "Harry, come to me,"
Harry snapped open his eyes. He was floating in the void again! He looked into the
shadows of the void, but could not see the person who had said that. "Where are you?"
he asked, looking into the horizon, or was that a horizon? You could not tell.
"I am," said the figure as it stepped out of the shadows,"Merlin."
"Merlin?!" cried Harry in shock." One of the greatest wizards of this age?"
"True," whispered Merlin in amusement."If that is what they say of me now."
Harry took a moment to analyze Merlin. He was wearing a very worn black wizards hat,
with silver moons and stars embroided on it, and his robes were also black with silver.
In his left hand, Merlin clutched a wooden staff, which at the top, formed into a
dragon's claw, and the claw held a radiant ruby within its palm.
"Is that?" he started asking, but Merlin interrupted him.
"This is my staff, Harry," he explained,"and you are to find it in your own time."
"But how," asked Harry again, but Merlin held up a hand for silence.
"You shall find out for yourself," he said mysteriously, "But for now, we shall concentrate
on here and now."
Merlin walked closer to Harry, and waved his hand about him. "This, Harry" he said
gesturing to the void,"is your mind. Here, you will have all the time in the world, but when
you decide to leave, only an hour will have passed. I shall be teaching you how to do
magic."
"I can't do spells now," Harry told Merlin." My wand broke, and without my wand, I can't
do magic."
Merlin smiled mysteriously, as if he knew something Harry didn't. "I'm here to teach you
how." he said simply. "There is always an answer to a question, no matter how vague it is."
And Harry's lessons started in how to do magic, without his wand. Harry soon learned
that he could do spells just be saying the incantation, no need to wave his hand about, and
that he didn't need to sleep or eat in his mind. Merlin teached non-stop, but there was no
worry about Harry dropping dead from exhaustion, because he couldn't. It was that
simple. Merlin taught him the history of the wizarding world, because Merlin "saw" into
the future from time to time. He also taught Harry about potions, and other things he
might need to know about any subjects. Harry learned more from Merlin then he had with
any of his other teachers, for they had no time limit in teaching. By the time Merlin was
almost done teaching Harry, he knew more than some adult wizards in his time! At the
last session Merlin and Harry had, Merlin told Harry that this would be the end,and this
would also be the last spell he would teach Harry. The Shield spell, said dleihs, and for
the second level of that spell, reierrab tirips. This spell, Merlin had told Harry, would
block even the Avada Kedavra spell, but only if it was cast by one person, not 12 for
example. Also, you could not hold this spell for very long, for it takes too much energy for
that.
Harry waved good-bye at Merlin, hot tears streaming down his cheeks, and Merlin smiled
back at him. Merlin snapped his fingers, and the barrier of crackling white energy
appeared once again.
"Take me back to my own time," he told it, and then he disappeared, with only a stream of
white energy to mark his passage.
Harry cried a bit, for Merlin had become a dear friend to Harry, and then he forced
himself to wake up, still crying in sorrow.
* * *
Harry found himself back in Dumbledore's room again, tears dripping onto his pillow. He
wondered if Merlin would ever come to visit him again. That calmed him down a bit.
"Maybe I'll see him again," thought Harry, and he drifted off into peaceful sleep.
:Next time, what will happen when Harry wakes up? Will he tell Dumbledore about Merlin,
or will he keep it a secret. Also, Dumbledore tells Harry who the new DADA teacher will
be! OK, I sound like a TV annoucer. Ignore the stuff before this please, I think I've gone
crazy from writing non-stop for 2 hours. It's not a pleasant experiance. -_-; :
