The next day Harry awoke at 7:00am. He got dressed as quickly as he could because he wanted to know what kind of training he was going to get. He went to the common room which looked exactly as it had last night. He walked out of the portrait hole, then walked to the great hall. The walk seemed to take extremely longer than it normally had because their was nothing at all to distract him. When he got to the great hall he found all several members of the staff there. Some had bags and apparently were leaving the castle for a month as well.
Dumbledore motioned for Harry to come over to the staff table. "Hello Harry. Sleep well?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes... I don't know why though." Harry said.
"Well that is going to most likely change. I have here your new schedule. It is going to be a grueling task but I have faith in you." Dumbledore handed the schedule over to Harry. Harry looked at it.

"Professor..." Harry said
"Yes Harry?"
"I can't learn Apparation. I am not of age." Harry said.
"Not to worry. I have worked out that problem." Said Dumbledore.
"Also... If I am going to lean how to Apparate why must I become Animagi and be an owl?" Asked Harry, confusingly.
"Because an owl will be you disguise. You don't want to Apparate right in front of Lucius do you?"
"I guess so..." Harry murmured.
"WAIT! This is a weeklong schedule? No Saturday or Sunday off?" Harry asked.
"Of course. We need you to be ready in a month." Dumbledore said with a Hermione, 'Obviously' tone of voice.
What he was dreading most was Snape's Dueling Without Wands class... "Profess..." Harry started.
"Yes Severus is fine and will be able to teach his class..." Harry was dumbfounded. "You forget I can read minds." Dumbledore smiled.
"Oh... It slipped my mind." Harry said.
"I can tell. Now you better go and have some breakfast. You have a hard day ahead of you... And so we don't get the house tables dirty you may sit up hear at the staff table. Sit down right next to me." Dumbledore said while biting a piece of toast himself.
"Thank you Professor. I am honored." Said Harry has he sat down.
"You're welcome Harry." Said Dumbledore.
After a bit, Dumbledore got up after telling Harry good luck for the day and went to his office. When Harry was done he looked down at his schedule.
8:00am- Professor Chesbro / In History Of Magic Classroom / Apparation.
Harry saw that it was 7:45 and decided he should just leave to go straight to his class... But he was not sure if he would need anything for the class. He decided that he would just go and see and if he did he would get it later.
As he walked in he saw Professor Chesbro already there. "Hello. You must be Harry Potter." Harry nodded. "I am your Professor Mrs. Kav Chesbro." Professor Chesbro was a tall a skinny women with straight black hair down to her shoulders. Her eyes were an odd shade of blue... Almost gray. Harry thought she was someone from a different area of the world because of her looks and accent. "I work in the Apparation Department for The Ministry of Magic in America. But enough of that, we have to get to work on teaching you Apparation. Now I don't expect you to be able to Apparate the first few days so maybe on Thursday we will go to Hogsmeade so you can try it."
"Why can't I just do this in the school?" Harry asked.
"Because the are enchantments protecting this school you know."
"Right." Said Harry looking embarrassed.
The class was mainly Professor Chesbro telling Harry techniques of Apparation. At 9:45 she let Harry leave so He could get to his next class. He looked at his schedule.
10:00am- Professor McGonagall / Sirius / In Transfiguration Classroom / Animagi Training / Owl
Harry was excited about this class since it would be the first time he seen Sirius since the summer. He ran as fast as he could through the corridors. He reached Professors McGonagall's with 7 minutes to spare. He was hoping he would get some time to talk to Sirius. When He got there no one was there. He waited for about five minutes when a big, black, shaggy dog came in with a tabby cat. Harry knew they were Sirius (dog) and Professor McGonagall (cat).
"Hello Professor and Sirius." Then there were two loud *POP* sounds and where the dog and cat were stood Professor and Sirius.
"Hello Harry." Said Professor McGonagall.
"Hey what about me!" Yelled Sirius. "Nice to see you again Harry." They shook hands.
"Nice to see you Sirius." Said Harry happily.
Sirius and Harry were talking when they were interrupted by Professor McGonagall, "Boys... Shall we begin or wait until He Who Must Not Be Named comes back to power?"
"Sorry Minerva." Sirius said.
"Me to Professor."
"Anyway... This will probably be the hardest out of all of your classes. I do although expect great things from you." Professor McGonagall said.
"As you know it took me three years. But I had no one to teach me, and you do. So don't worry you won't be able to do it." Sirius reassured him.
"We will start now. For this to happen you must clear you mind of anything and everything except an owl..." Professor started.
"You must know exactly how you want to look. Even if one thing is not right about the owl picture in you mind you will not be able to do this..." Sirius said.
They were telling Harry what to do and were showing Harry how they do it. At the end of class they made him try, expecting nothing to happen and that is what they got. When Harry left with Sirius his head hurt from trying to clear it. "Don't worry Harry... That is normal." Sirius told him.
At lunch he did not eat much, he was talking to Sirius and he just wanted to get to his next class. At 1:50pm he looked at his schedule.
2:00pm- Professor VanDerLindin / In Great Hall / Dueling With Wands
Harry waited for a few minutes until Professor VanDerLindin arrived. "Hi Harry. I am your Dueling With Wands teacher." Harry thought he must be another one From America. He was a somewhat short man with short brown hair and blue eyes. "I am Ray VanDerLindin. Do not call me Professor. Just call me Ray. I don't like to be referred but anything but that. I work for the Dueling Council for The Ministry Of Magic in America. I set rules for dueling to make sure nobody dies. But If are to be going against the Dark Lord, or Malfoy for that matter, you need to kill him. I know you know the basis because you were once in a dueling club, so show me what you got... No killing though." Ray waved his wand and the familiar dueling table from Harry's second year showed up.
The two got up on the table. They walked up to each other bowed, did the normal routine. "Now hit me with something." Ray said.
"Rictusempra!" Harry yelled and a white jet of fog went straightforward and hit Ray head on. Ray keeled over laughing. It was the tickling charm. After a minute ray started to get up and then Harry went again, "Expelliarmus!" This time Ray flew backwards dropping his wand.
When Ray got up he started to talk. "Great! I don't need to teach you basic dueling. How about we just start with some advance blocking before advance spells. Good."
The rest of the class was about blocking, as it would be for the next few days. At 4:50 Harry was let out. He took out his schedule yet again.
5:00pm- Professor Lupin / In DADA Classroom / Lengthening Your Powers & Knowledge About Spells
Harry went up to the Defense Against The Dark Arts classroom. He got there with only a few seconds to spare. "Hello Harry." Professor Lupin said.
"Hi! How has it been?" Asked Harry.
"Quite good as a matter of fact. They now have a new potion that will completely stop my transformation. I do get ill for about two days although but it is better than transforming." If you don't know Professor Lupin is a werewolf.
"That's great." Harry said.
"Yes, but we are here for a reason. To make your powers greater and so you can learn about different and complex spells. The name, Knowledge About Spells may make it sound like History of magic but it is quite the opposite. I will be teaching you some new spells and helping you increase the power of ones you know. Now I know you are going to have to kill Malfoy, so let me teach you the worst curse of all... the killing curse. I have had permission to teach you this from the ministry."
For all class Lupin was trying to get Harry to get the spell to work on spiders. By the end of class he could get the spider to swagger a little but Lupin said this would not be enough to do anything to a human. At 6:55 Harry and Professor Lupin went down to the Great Hall for dinner. Most of the time Lupin, Sirius, and Harry were talking.
At 7:47 Lupin said, "Well Harry you better be off to your last class."
"What is it again?" Sirius asked. Harry pulled out his schedule.
8:00pm- Professor Snape / In Dungeons / Dueling Without Wands
"Dueling Without Wands... With Snape..." Harry said frowning.
"Harry... Don't worry... You can beat that old git up with what he teaches you if he pisses you off." Sirius said trying not to laugh.
"Sirius... You are the kids godfather. Set a good example for cripes sake." Lupin said.
"Whatever Remus. Well see you tomorrow Harry." Sirius told him.
"Yeah by both." Harry told them as he went off towards the dungeons.
When he got there Snape was standing there in a tight white tank top and black sweat pants. No shoes are anything else. "You're late Potter... But, I can't take points away. Well, here you will learn the art of Karate... You never know when you will be without your wand." Snape waved his wand and Harry then had on the exact same clothes as Snape did. "Now lets see what you are made of... Throw a few punches or kicks at me." Harry had waited to do something like this for a long time.
"AAARGGGGG!" Harry threw a punch right at Snape's face but Snape easily blocked. Harry kept trying to hit Snape when eventually Snape tripped him. "You never said you were going to counterattack!" Harry yelled getting up.
"I never said I wasn't going to either. Now you are pitiful. But by the end of this month you will be fit and able to beat me." Snape said. "I will teach you punches, kicks, blocks, and other techniques. Let's start out with the basics."
After the class Harry was wiped. When he got back to his common room at 10:15 he did not shower, change or anything else. He just fell asleep right on the couch.
Dumbledore motioned for Harry to come over to the staff table. "Hello Harry. Sleep well?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes... I don't know why though." Harry said.
"Well that is going to most likely change. I have here your new schedule. It is going to be a grueling task but I have faith in you." Dumbledore handed the schedule over to Harry. Harry looked at it.
