I don't own the Harry Potter books.

Harry Potter and the year of training

Chapter 21

Months went buy uneventful at Godric hollow. England won the Quiditich cup again, and Harry's sister was showing signs of being a powerful Witch and a very good chaser.

She was nearly good enough to ride Harry's Firebolt 2. The Firebolt 2 is still the fastest broom in the world. The people who make Nimbus brooms tried to make a broom faster, but the Nimbus 3000 was just a little bit better than the Firebolt.

Harry and Ginny spent as much time as they could together as they could. They were becoming extremely close.

At the moment Harry was at platform 9 ¾ saying good bye to Ginny.

"Bye Ginny, I'll see you at the first Hogsmead visit and also Christmas. I'll write. Don't forget look out for Snape and see that it was the old Marauders put their old sign up," said Harry.

"Ok, bye. I'll send you a picture of Snape if I can get one," said Ginny.

With that Harry lent over and gave her a Kiss on the lips.

"Bye," she said breathlessly.

"Bye,"

The whistle sounded and Harry turn and walked away with the Weasleys and His sister and Parents.

When he got home, he went and got a cup of water.

He went put and sat in the swing that was connected to a very big tree.

"Hello Harry," said a voice behind him.

Harry turned around to see his mother.

"Hey mum," he said taking a swig of his water.

"So when are you going to propose to Ginny?" she asked.

Harry choked on his water spraying water everywhere.

"What gave you that idea?" asked Harry in a voice unlike his own.

"Well you seem to really love her," she said.

"I do, but she's still in school. Maybe after," said Harry going red.

Lily noticed his embarrassment and changed the subject.

"Do you remember climbing this tree?" asked Lily looking up at the Beautiful tree.

"Yeah, I spent hours up there. I defiantly remember braking a bone for the first time by falling from the tree," he said.

"I still remember your scream. But it was odd you didn't cry and you were only 5!" she said.

"Yeah well, why should I have cried? You only cry when something REALLY hurts," he said swinging on the swing.

"Well because your bone was splitting out of your skin!" she said in disbelief.

"I've had worse," he said.

"I know,"

"Do you want to climb it now?" she asked.

"Ok,"

Lily and Harry climbed as high as they could and just sat there looking at the scenery.

"I can't believe how old you have gotten, I can remember when you were up to my knee," she said looking at Harry.

"Yes well I was one and a half and only just starting to walk. Now I'm 18 and your up to my shoulder," he said.

"Yeah," she said wiping some sweat of her forehead.

"It is so hot. I wish we had a pool," she said.

"Well dad and I could make one," he said.

"But wouldn't that cost a lot of money?" asked Lily.

"Why would it?" asked Harry looking confused.

"Sorry, just sometime I forget that I'm not a muggle," she said shrugging.

"That's ok. But I reckon I could have one ready by the time dads home. Fence and all," harry said.

"Really that's great,"

"And with a pool I can practise my Dolphin Anamigus form more often,"

"So when are you going to start?" she asked.

"Right now," with that Harry jumped of the branch in to the air, transforming into a Dragon and floating to the ground.

A beautiful phoenix followed.

When his mother transformed back she said. "Don't do that I nearly had a heart attack. You could have died,"

"Sorry mum, I was under complete control," he said honestly.

"Sorry doesn't cut it," she said.

Lily started chasing him. So Harry thought that he might give her a bit of a Race.

He transformed into a Cheetah and started running away. Seeing this Lily transformed into a Phoenix and chased him.

Harry still hadn't tried running as fast as he could yet. So he did. The world was becoming a blur.

So he stopped running and transformed back.

His mum followed suit.

"So were do you want it?" asked Harry.

"Near the tree over there," she said pointing at the tree they were just at.

"Because it has shade and it would look nice near the tree,"

"Ok, Accio staff," Harry said.

The staff came flying threw the air. Harry caught it.

So he started he first did a few spells to dig a hole. He made a deep end a shallow end. Then coved in with Marble.

Then the final touch he added some water.

"That was so cool Harry can you teach me how to use a staff? Please I'll let you use sally," she said showing him the doll.

Harry laughed. "I don't know, ask mum first then I'll say if you can or not," he said.

While she went of screaming 'Mum' Harry conjured a fence around the Pool.

When he was finished his sister was back.

"She said it was alright as long as it was ok with you,"

"Ok, I'll first teach you the Lumos spell. That's like the easiest spell to use," Harry said handing the Staff to Her.

You could tell that she was very powerful even when she was just holding the staff. There was Magical Power seeming to flow of her.

"Ok, now think of seeing a light on top of the staff and say Lumos," said Harry.

"Lumos," she said.

Immediately there was a bright light coming from the top of the staff coming from big Flames.

Elisabeth started crying and lite go of the staff. "I'm sorry Harry I didn't mean to make your staff go on fire I'm really, Really sorry. I'll by you a new one," she said, tears streaming down her miserable face.

Harry laughed. "You didn't set in on fire look, Accio Staff, Lumos," he said grinning still from his little sister.

There was a flash of bright light and there were flames on top of Harry staff creating light. The flames were bigger than Elisabeth's were.

"See," said Harry.

"Ok, cool," she said.

"Well I think I hear dad so lets go show him the pool," said Harry grinning at his tiny sister.

"I'll beat you there," she said running top speed towards the house.

"Hey you cheated," said Harry running slowly after her so she would win.

"I won, I won," said Elisabeth.

Harry and Elisabeth came into the kitchen and saw James and Lily talking, James had a very serious face on.

"Hey dad guess what Harry did to day," she said bouncing on the spot.

He through away the serious face and smiled at his daughter.

"What did he do?" asked James.

"I'll show you," she said pulling on James's arm.

James got up and followed her out side with Harry and his wife.

When he came around the big tree he saw a very big pool.

"See, isn't it SO cool!" she said.

"Did you do this?" he asked Harry looking at him in disbelief.

" Yeah, but it was mum's Idea. I used the staff to make it Quicker," said Harry.

The pool was about 40 meters one-way, and 20 meter's the other.

"I will ad the finishing touches tomorrow," said Harry.

"Like what?" asked Lily.

"Like a spa to the side and a diving board near the deep end," said Harry pointing to the sides.

"Great and tomorrow I have the day off, so I could use it," said James "And we could invite Sirius and his family, Remeus and his family, the Weasleys minus Ginny and the Grangers," said James.

Harry looked sad at the thought of Ginny not there. But brightened at the thought of what Happened on the first day of school. He would know all about it tomorrow.

"Dad remember tomorrow is the second day of school for Ginny and she's going to be Owling me about what happened!" said Harry excitedly.

"That's great, we can show Sirius and Remeus the letter. Well the part about the prank, I'm sure there's going to be stuff you don't want us to read in there," he said winking at Harry.

Harry blushed.

"How long did it take you Harry?" asked James.

"About 2 hours. I reckon I'm going to have a tan tomorrow from the sun," said Harry grinning.

"Dad guess what Harry let me do," said Elisabeth.

"What?" asked James.

"He let me use his staff," she said grinning. Her Green eyes dancing.

"Really what spell?" asked James.

"Why don't you show them? I'll get it for you. Accio Staff," said Harry.

The staff came whistling towards them. Harry caught it and handed it to his sister.

"Lumos," she said, a bit shakily.

There was a flash of light and there were flames on top of the Staff.

"That's great. Did he teach you anything else?" asked Lily.

"No because we thought that dad was home so we checked to see if he was," she said.

"Ok. Do you want me to teach you some one's?" asked Lily.

"Yeah!" said Elisabeth.

While Harry's mother and sister practised doing easy spells Harry asked his father a few things that had been bothering him.

"Dad why did you seem so worried when we came in?"

"Lets go somewhere more private to talk," said James.

So they both walked to Harry's Parents Room.

"So what was it?"

"There was another attack on a few muggles today. When they brought Tom in he told them everything. It's hard to say there many things happening," said James.

"Why don't you use your pensive and put them in that?" asked Harry.

"Ok,"

With that James walked over to his bedside table and pulled open the draw and took out his pensive.

He put his wand to his head and thought a bit and pulled out some silvery thing and put it in the bowl.

"Come on,"

With that he leaned forward and went in the pensive.
