The Ancestor's Call
By Princess Hermione
Chapter 5
History of Magic
****** change of scene/time
When Harry awoke the next morning, the first thing he noticed was an aching fore arm. Accompanying the lion, eagle, and badger there was a green snake. The next thing he remembered was the dream and occurrence from the night before. He wondered how his mom could appear to him when she was dead, he supposed that it was because she was so powerful.
He hopped out of bed and quickly slid into his robes. The rest of his dorm other than Ron was up and heading down stairs. Harry grinned and silently conjured up a bucket of ice cold water. He ran to the door , and then dumped the bucket of ice water on Ron's face. Harry quickly ran down the stairs to the common room, where Hermione and Ginny were waiting, amidst Ron yells. They took one look at his face and demanded what he had done.
"Just ensured that he wouldn't need a shower," Harry grinned, as Ron came charging down at him. Harry sidestepped and Ron ended up on the floor.
"Interesting entrance," Harry said, and headed to the portrait. The others quickly followed him.
*************************Later that Day*********************************************
It was the last two periods of the day, and they were going of History of Magic. When the got in, they found that most of the people who were already in there were asleep, and they felt like doing exactly that.
Just then Professor Binns came in.
"Today we will move onto Merlin's Era," he announced. Harry perked up slightly, as that was a figure from his dream.
"Today we will talk about an incident that happened in the middle of Merlin's life, in the middle of an ongoing war with evil." Harry pulled out parchment, a quill and ink ready to make notes. He noticed people doing that sleepily around him.
"Now, at this point, Merlin had an apprentice, who always appeared in a dark blue hooded robe. He refused to give his name or show his appearance to anyone. He was apparent in every battle, aiding Merlin with wizardry and in some cases, fighting hand to hand combat." Harry quickly scribbled this all down and looked up expectantly.
"We will be covering each battle, however, today we will cover the last battle, when the apprentice revealed his true power. The Light was outnumbered 20 to 1 no matter how hard Merlin was sending spells into the Dark. In the end, the apprentice took it all in his hands, and cast a single spell. The ground shuddered and moved apart, leaving the Dark on one side and the Light on another. Then lightning seemed to magically appear and strike down Dark side."
"Strangely, no lightning crossed the chasm to the Light side. As the Dark side grew less and less, Merlin resumed casting spells into the crowd, destroying them in groups." He paused, and Harry was scribbling furiously.
"Once the dark side had weakened enough, the apprentice cast another spell, and the chasm closed. Merlin cast a spell which trapped each of the Dark side under a net. Then they were borne into the air by an invisible wind and carried off to jail."
"Now, write notes on all of that and read chapters 12 and 13, now," he snapped. Harry pulled out his book and began to read.
Half an hour later, he had finished the chapters and was taking notes on them. By now, several pieces of parchment had been used.
Just before the end of class, Professor Binns announced their homework.
"Write 2 feet on the attack, due in on Wednesday," he said, as the bell rang. Everyone cheered and took their stuff and ran out.
After dinner, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron stayed behind for the Healing class. Many of the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students came, with a few of the Hufflepuff students. Slytherin was conspicuous by their absence, as their was only one Slytherin, and that was a second year.
"Welcome, class!" a female voice called. Professor Brown was standing at the front, "Please come here." They obediently got up and went to stand around her.
"Today, we will learn a simple charm for bruises and paper cuts," she said, "simply point your wand at the bruise or cut and say 'sanitas'. Give yourself a little cut, with your wand by saying 'secare'." They nodded and took out their wands, they quickly cut themselves, and then cast the healing spell.
"Sanitas," Harry muttered, to his surprise the cut healed instantly.
"Very good, Mr. Potter," the teacher congratulated him, "five points to Gryffindor. Please help other students with the spell." Ginny immediately beckoned him, over, and he went willingly to his side.
"I'm having problems with the spell," she said," look." She pointed her wand at the cut,
"sanitas." It didn't heal.
"You aren't saying it right, it's san-i-tas," he corrected, "try again." She pointed her wand and muttered the spell, it healed instantly.
"Well done, Miss Weasley, five points to Gryffindor." Harry and Ginny circulated the group, helping others out, until everyone had managed it.
"Now, we shall learn the spell for healing large cuts, to give yourself a large cut, just put more power behind it. Now say 'Artus' for a large cut," Professor Brown said. Harry again got it first try, and went around the group helping people out. By the time everyone had got it, it was time to go back to the common rooms.
A/N: Here is a list of spells with I used, and of course, they are in Latin.
Secare - cut yourself
Sanitas - paper cut or bruise
Liagare - broken bone
Artus - heal large cut
