I do not own Harry Potter. I think I have a beta reader, but have not
gotten any of this beta'ed yet. Any questions, comments, ideas, or
constructive criticisms are welcome. Please Review.
It was now almost Halloween. The air had been getting colder and Hagrid's pumpkins were almost as large as his hut. His largest ever, he said. Harry was beginning to get slightly bored. He still had Jordan and Ginny as friends, and was beginning to become friends with Ginny's brother, Ron, and his girlfriend, Hermione Granger, but he wasn't bored because of a lack of friends, he was bored because of a lack of classes. In addition to transfiguration, he had been let out of charms, potions, astronomy, and divination. Professor Delphi knew that he was years ahead of the rest of his class, so she gave him private lessons at other times, where and when she didn't have to watch over the inept students.
All of the teachers claimed that they would find something for him to do, but all that had been so far was tediously long reports; often more than a whole scroll long. But Harry could write extremely fast, so even those rarely took more than a couple days. The classes he still attended (Defense, muggle studies, runes, and history) only took up six of the twenty class periods in a week.
Harry had finally decided what he would do during all his extra time. With the help of his muggle studies professor, he began to learn about what muggle students his age learn. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Standard world history, geography, and governments. Biology, chemistry, and physics. He gave himself extensive homework assignments, and learned quite quickly. But, after only a month, he was doing so well that he felt that if he was suddenly dropped into a muggle high school, he could pass for a student, academically at least. He still had considerable amounts of extra time, so he always did one of two things. Practice his seeker skills on his broom, or more muggle courses.
The week before Halloween, he added Latin and Mandarin Chinese to the things his own assigned work. Latin because 90% of magic words are Latin, and Mandarin because he though it would be interesting. Only a few of the professors knew about all of the extra work, he didn't want Hermione, the girl who previously was the best student, to get jealous. However, if any of the teachers told him that they had found something for him to do, he wouldn't hesitate to drop all the extra stuff. He had also been training Ginny and Jordan as well, but that was causing problems. Ginny had already been dismissed from transfiguration and charms too, and Jordan had been dismissed from those as well as history. Two weeks before Halloween, Harry began to teach the two of them how to fight. True magical dueling was not want pointing, but channeling magic through swords and other weapons, through your body, and even the environment. Harry had no trouble any of this. Jordan was a mage, and had little, but it took a lot out of him. Ginny apparently wasn't just a witch either. She was a sorceress, the third most powerful type of magik.
They had been the ones that had caught him leaving Gryffindore's armory during the first week of school, and that was where they trained. They each picked out their own sword. Harry's turned out to be Godrick's. It was a strait, single blades sword, with a slight red tint to the blade, and large jewels in the hilt. Jordan had been there before, and got his sword, the sword that had been his since Hogwart's creation. It was double edged and had a slight blue tint. Ginny's sword was a long, curved katana, which was very golden.
Finally, the weekend before Halloween, there was something very interesting to do. Saturday morning was the first quidditch match, Harry's first, Gryffindore verses Slytherin. Harry caught the snitch when Gryffindore was up by more than 200 points; it was a crushing defeat for Slytherin.
That evening was the first Hogsmeed trip. Harry bought another huge bag of every flavor beans, and a few things from the joke shop. Jordan, Ginny, and He were about to get a butterbeer when a scream echoed through the air.
