Unscheduled Classes
Danielle had a really good time during her off classes. She spent her Thursday afternoons with Dumbledore learning and practicing about wandless magic.
Dumbledore got her some rare books about wandless. He felt that she might do better if she learned the history behind it and the limitations it had.
Danielle was soon able to do many simple spells without getting weak. Dumbledore told her to practice with these simple spells as much as possible.
Danielle didn't have to worry about people finding out about her wandless magic, they already knew from last year. As Danielle walked around the school she learned to open doors before she got to them. She also learned how to make her backpack levitate and follow her; she enjoyed not having to carry all the heavy books. She could make her textbooks open to a certain page or certain part of the book, without thumbing through it.
Dumbledore was very please with her progress and started helping her with some harder spells. This took a while. First of all, Danielle was having trouble doing those reliably. When she tried to turn things invisible without a wand, they disappeared but they still had a shadow or you could see the outline of the object.
Once Danielle mastered a spell, maintaining them was the problem. She got weak after making something invisible for about a half an hour. Dumbledore kept a close watch on her and always stopped her before she overdid it.
She was making great progress and was advancing faster than Dumbledore had expected.
Danielle was upset with herself for not having the strength to do it, but Dumbledore was always able to cheer her up. "Danielle, you're making wonderful progress. Most adults who can do wandless magic don't get this far in their studies."
Danielle smiled and realized that he was right, this was strong magic that was difficult for anyone to handle.
With help and practice Danielle managed to master most of these spells and could maintain them for over an hour without wavering, Dumbledore decided to try and teach her harder once.
First she taught her how to use the invisibility charm on herself. "This is not taught until seventh year, but since you already have an invisibility cloak, I will teach it to you." Dumbledore told her.
Danielle tried it and managed to make herself flash once. "Good job, this is a very difficult spell. I didn't expect you to even flash the first time."
Danielle tried it again. She turned herself invisible this time. "Wonderful!" Dumbledore exclaimed, "Let's see how long you can keep it, do stop if you feel faint."
"Yes, Professor." Danielle said as she walked around smiling about how she was invisible. She was only invisible for ten minutes, but she knew that with Dumbledore's help and some practice she would get better.
"Danielle?" Dumbledore said in a very serious tone one day. "Yes Professor?" Danielle said making herself visible after a good hour.
"I think I'm going to teach you some spells that we don't teach around here." Danielle just looked at him with interest. "But since Voldemort and the Death Eaters are after you, I feel you should be ready to face him and know what you are up against." Dumbledore said this is a very sad tone.
Danielle knew what he was talking about, the unforgivable curses. "I want you to read this book about them, on Sunday Remus will be here to teach you about them."
Danielle smiled, "Remus? Will Sirius come also?"
"No, it's to dangerous for him to be out and about." Danielle nodded and continued to still smile.
That Sunday Danielle walked quickly to Dumbledore's office. "Remus!" Danielle said excitedly as she gave him a hug.
"Good morning Danielle." Remus said giving her a sad smile.
"What's wrong?" Danielle said seeing his expression. "I'm sorry I couldn't be here under better circumstances." Remus replied and Danielle nodded.
"Okay, first of all I'm going to teach you how to do these curses with a wand." Remus said. Danielle got out her wand while he did the same. Remus had a jar full of spiders and other insects.
"Crucio" Remus said and pointed his wand at the spider that he just let out. The spider curled up and twitched.
"Now, you try." Remus let an earwig out of the jar and Danielle pointed her wand at the slimy little creature. "Crucio" she said and the earwig started twitching as the spider had.
"Good, do you want to try without your wand?" Remus asked her, but Danielle knew it wasn't really a question. She handed him her wand and Remus let out a beetle.
Danielle looked at the beetle and said, "Crucio." The beetle started twitching just like the earwig and the spider. "Good, keep it going." Remus said very upset that he was teaching a 16 year old to use these curses. Danielle did, but couldn't keep the curse going for longer than a few minutes.
As Danielle ended the curse, she fell to the ground. Remus knew this would happen. He picked her up and sat her on the couch.
"Are you okay?" Remus asked her sitting down next to her. "Yes, I am. I just need to rest for a while." Danielle said smiling at him. Remus nodded and handed her a chocolate frog.
They talked about how school was going for a half hour then continued with their lesson. Another spider was let out and Remus said "Imperio." Remus said, "spin a web" and immediately the spider spun and beautiful web.
A fly was let out and Danielle pointed her wand at it and said, "Imperio." The fly just stayed where it was until Danielle said, "fly into the web" and the fly flew straight into spiders newly spun web.
Remus let out another fly and held out his hand for her wand. She sighed and handed it to him. "Imperio." She said looking at the second fly. Again the fly just stopped right where it was. "Fly into the Web." Danielle said and just like the last one, the fly flew into the web.
"Well, that spider is going to eat well today." Danielle said trying to ease the tension between the two. Remus laughed and said, "Okay, how do you feel?" Danielle smiled and said, "I'm fine with that one." Remus nodded and bit his lip.
"There's only one left," Danielle said and Remus nodded. "The unblockable, the killing curse, Advada Kedavra." Remus nodded still biting his lip. Remus didn't move, so Danielle went over and let out another beetle.
"Advada Kedavra." Danielle said holding her wand out. There was a small flash of green light and when Danielle could see again, the beetle lay on the table dead.
Danielle then put her wand down on the table and let out a worm. Danielle bit her lip like Remus; she couldn't believe she was learning this.
"Advada Kedavra." She said quietly. Another flash of green light filled the air. Danielle looked at the table and the worm lay there motionless. Danielle knew she was about to collapse. She stumbled over to the couch and fell on to it.
Remus was by her side instantly. "That's how my parents died, isn't it?" Danielle asked then went back to chewing on her bottom lip. Remus nodded and held Danielle in a hug.
"That's what he tried to do to me and Harry." Danielle said this as a statement, but Remus still nodded and held her tighter.
"That's what everyone wants me to do to him." Danielle pushed her face against Remus' chest. She wasn't crying, but she was very upset. Remus didn't say anything, they both just sat there together for a good amount of time.
After a long time in silence Remus spoke up. "Are you scared?" He said looking into her sad green eyes.
"I don't want to hurt anyone, not even him. But in self-defense I will do what I have to." Danielle said with determination in her eyes.
Remus nodded. "Are you feeling up to starting again?" Danielle nodded and stood up. "Let's go down to the lake, we are going to try sometime a little bigger than bugs." Remus said as he led her out of the castle.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were all sitting around eating lunch outside. It was a beautiful day and they were laughing and having fun. When Remus and Danielle came out of the castle, they all looked at one another with puzzled looks.
"Danielle, what are you doing?" Harry asked her telepathically. "I'm sorry I can't tell you, Dumbledore swore me to secrecy." Danielle said. Harry didn't bother them; he knew that if Dumbledore told her to keep it quiet, it must be important.
Danielle placed all three curses wandlessly on some fish. She managed to keep the cruciatus curse on for a good five minutes.
"That's more than enough, a person would have blacked out by then." Remus told her and Danielle nodded, but felt sick to think that she might have to use this on a person someday.
They didn't try it on anything bigger than a fish, Danielle thought it was cruel and refused to do it.
"To bad we don't have any blast ended skrewts." Remus joked and Danielle laughed. Remus led her back inside and into Dumbledore's office.
"Okay, we only have two more things to do." Remus told her and Danielle looked puzzled. "I'm going to place the imperious curse on you and teach you how to resist it." Danielle was a little nervous, but didn't let it show.
Remus pointed his wand at her and said, "Imperio." Danielle's mind blank. She heard a voice very far away tell her to jump up and down on one foot.
"Jump up and down, that sounds like a stupid thing to do." She heard a voice closer to her say. It was her voice, but she wasn't speaking out load.
"Jump up and down on one foot." The voice commanded again.
"What if I don't want to?" She said to herself.
"Jump up and down on one foot." The first voice was getting stronger.
"No." She shouted, but this time she did say it out loud. Remus lifted the curse and gave her a big hug. "Good job, that was really good." Danielle smiled at the complement.
"The next one is not going to be pleasant for either of us." Remus said looking upset at what he had to do. "Dumbledore wants you to know what the cruciatus curse feels like, so if one of the Death Eater's does it, you know what to expect." Danielle's eyes were wide with fear, but she nodded and braced herself for the pain.
"Crucio." Remus said sadly and Danielle fell to the ground screaming. Danielle fought the pain and within seconds she had stopped screaming. The curse was still going on, but Danielle somehow managed to stand back up and look straight into Remus' eyes.
He took the curse off immediately. "How?" He asked looking at the girl standing in front of him. Danielle was out of breath and she collapsed onto the floor. Remus was by her side.
"Danielle how did you do that?" He asked her helping her to the couch.
"I've dealt with horrible pain my entire childhood, you learn to turn off you senses and not feel the pain." She said still breathing heavily. Remus nodded. He pulled out the rest of the candy he had brought with him and the two sat there and ate it.
Soon they were laughing as they talked about what Remus and Sirius had been up to since she left their house. Around three in the afternoon, Dumbledore came into his office and was please to see Danielle and Remus laughing together.
"How did it go?" He asked looking them. Both their smiles faded, but they nodded that it went well. Danielle left the office, leaving the two men to talk and went to go find Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"How did she do?" Dumbledore asked Remus once Danielle was gone. "She can now to all the curses without her wand, but I'm not sure if that is good or bad." Remus answered.
Dumbledore nodded and said, "I understand, but we need to prepare her, Voldemort will not stop coming after her until he kills her or she kills him." Remus nodded that he understood.
"Albus, when I put the cruciatus curse on her, she fell down screaming." Remus paused thinking to himself about what happened.
"Most people collapse and scream." Dumbledore said not knowing what Remus was getting at.
"Yeah, but then she stopped and stood up and was able to look me in the eye." Remus finished still not really believing it. In all his time dealing with dark arts, he never knew anyone who could withstand that amount of pain.
"Have you heard about her childhood?" Dumbledore asked him calmly. Remus looked puzzled.
"I know she was hit by that man in the orphanage." Remus said.
"Have you ever seen her back?" Dumbledore asked still very calm.
"Her back?" Remus asked, wishing Dumbledore would get to the point.
"Mr. Hunt would beat her with his belt at least once a week. He beat her so hard that magic can't heal her scars. If a five year old can learn to not scream with that kind of pain, not curse can make Danielle lose her tough girl image. Danielle knows that anyone who would use that curse wants her to scream. If she doesn't, they won't have any fun and will stop." Dumbledore said and Remus nodded his understanding.
"Danielle will be okay, right Albus?" Remus asked. Dumbledore's eyes had very little twinkle in them during this conversation, but at that question they didn't have any.
"I honestly don't know, I hope so with all my heart, but I really don't know." Dumbledore said and Remus bit his lip so hard it was bleeding. Remus left to go find Danielle and her friends to say goodbye.
"Hello everyone." Remus said when he found them sitting by the lake.
"Hello Professor Lupin." Hermione said moving over so he could sit on the blanket with them. Remus sat down, and talked to the teenagers about how school was going that year and how many O.W.L.s they got last year.
"I got 11 O.W.L.s." Hermione said proudly.
"Yeah, yeah. We all know your smart Hermione." Ron said as a joke.
"Hey, you could have gotten 12 if you would have come flying with me." Harry said joking with her.
"You wouldn't have taught me anything, you just wanted me to be scared and cling to you." Hermione said joking back.
Danielle and Remus looked at each other and started laughing about their conversation about Hermione and Harry that summer. When they noticed the others looking at them they stopped and said, "Sorry."
"I'm afraid that I must be heading home. It was really good to see you all again." Remus said to them all. He then turned to Danielle and said, "Take care of yourself and be careful with those." Danielle nodded and gave him a hug goodbye.
That night Hermione and Danielle helped Harry and Ron learn how to turn things invisible. Harry got it before Ron did and then all three were helping him. Soon Hermione and Harry had both given up and went to bed.
"I'll kiss you if you get it right." Danielle said trying to offer a bribe.
"How about you kiss me until I get it right." Ron suggested pulling her close to kiss her.
"Spell first, kiss second." She told him holding his wand out to him. Ron pouted at he took his wand.
"Inveoso." He said and pointed to a book that he was trying to make invisible. The book flew at him, taking him by surprise and smacked him in the stomach. Ron groaned as Danielle picked to book up and put it back on the table.
"Are you alright?" Danielle asked kneeling down next to him. "No, but I will be as soon as I do this." Ron said and he reached up and pulled her down on top of him. Danielle let out a little scream, but it was soon muffled as he kissed her.
Danielle got up a minute later. "Try it again." She told him. Ron pointed his wand at the book. "Inveoso." He said again. He covered his head to make sure the book didn't fly off and hit him again. But the book didn't hit him, it vanished.
Danielle laughed at the look on his face before he opened his eyes to see that every thing was all right. "Try it once more to make sure that wasn't a trick and then you'll be done." Danielle said while she made to book visible again. Ron was successful the second time.
"Very good." Danielle said. "Come on, it's getting late. We should go to bed." She said as she started walking towards the stairs.
"What about our deal?" Ron said jumping in front of her.
"I don't recall ever signing anything." Danielle said smiling. Ron kissed her. Danielle didn't stop him this time. She was actually enjoying this. They never got much time to themselves and Harry always broke them apart if he was around. Ron led her over to the couch where the eventually fell asleep in each other's arms.
