The next day, Harry woke up bright and early and went into his trunk to
get his clothes for the day. He picked out a pair of very comfortable
jeans and a black, loose T-shirt, over his armor of course, but he set the
protection level down to low so people wouldn't suspect anything when he
doesn't get hurt. This set of armor allowed him to get scratched and
bruises, but nothing big. He then stepped out of his trunk and went into
the washroom to change and get ready for the day. He used his brush to gel
and spike his hair, and get it into order with a bit of magic to keep it
that way no matter what. Then, he put on a pair of Hogwarts robes and
straightened himself out. He woke Ron up and said that he'd meet him in
the great hall for breakfast. He went down the dormitory stairs and out of
the common room into the great hall where there were still very little
people, and most of these were still very sleepy. He glanced up at the
head table and saw Sirius sitting there with a small smile on his face as
he was talking to Dumbledore. The smile grew boarder as he saw Harry and
waved at him, Harry decided to go and visit him at the head table and have
a word with Dumbledore. He moved up the long house tables to the head
table where he greeted all the professors and smiled at their bemused faces
at the change he had experienced (all except Snape of course). Harry
pulled up a chair along Sirius and started to chat about quidittch and
racing brooms. The latest broom had just come out; it was the Firebolt XI.
This broom could outstrip the old Firebolt 10 times with its new speed.
It was amazing, but of course, it was very, very expensive.
The students started to filter into the great hall and Harry stopped his
conversation with Sirius saying that he'll see him soon. He then stopped
shortly to ask Dumbledore when an appropriate time to tell his godfather of
his powers would be. All Dumbledore said was to let him know nice and
easy, it's a big shock for someone close to you. Harry nodded and went
back to the Gryffindor table to sit beside Ron and Hermione. He looked at
their faces as they saw him talk to Dumbledore and the professors so
casually; it was really kind of funny. The post owls came in and dropped
their packages into the right laps, Harry himself had 2 things, one was
with Hedwig, it was from Hagrid saying that they should come to his hut at
about 3 this Saturday to have a bit of tea. The other, didn't really come
until most of the owls were gone, it was Blaze. Unusual as this delivery
bird was, what was even more unusual about it was that Blaze quite frankly
was massive, big enough so that most people could ride on him. He carried
a package with him in his beak, careful not to squish it. Blaze landed on
the ground beside Harry and waited as Harry finished the bite of food he
was chewing before he turned to the patient bird. He said," Yes, Blaze,
what do you have for me?'
The bird gave a small coo and dropped the package into Harry's hand and
then waited again for a response. Harry looked at the small package and
wondered what it could be, then, when he opened it, he found a phoenix egg,
it was the same size as the others he had so it was marked to be an
immortal. Harry gave Blaze a curious look and turned the egg over and
found Blaze's special mark, a scorch mark that along his back. Harry knew
that this was Blaze's egg and he grinned at him and said," All right,
Blaze. Now take this egg back, I expect to see it though first thing
tonight though, all right?" Blaze gave another coo and flew off again with
the egg. Harry chuckled and turned back to his staring table, he said,"
What, haven't you people ever seen a phoenix before?" At this they all
turned back to their meals with still confused looks though, but accepted
that Harry Potter had a phoenix. Harry dodged the questions Ron and
Hermione sent at him and hurried into heir first class that was the
physical DADA.
In the classroom, Harry saw just a large, very large room that had almost
nothing in it except a large shelf with weapons and some exercise things in
a corner. In the middle of the room were Sirius and professor Enigma, they
were trying out some of the weapons against a metal sheet that had
scratches all over it. Since he was here early, Harry decided to help
them, he walked over and said," Hey, I'm here early so, mind if I lend a
hand?"
They looked at him, startled, but Sirius nodded and was thinking, what
could a 15-year-old do to their weapons. Harry picked up a sword that
they've already tried and tested it against the metal sheet, but instead of
just testing the durability, he tested the balance, which was way off. He
then picked up his wand and fixed the sword with a single flash of his
wand. Now, the sword was perfect for its materials. Harry caught the two
professors staring at him in amazement and just grinned at them and
continued to labor over that one sword and a set of all the weapons there.
When the professors were finished all the weapons, Harry was done his
weapons and he handed them to professor Enigma to be checked. The
professor was amazed; these weapons that Harry had fixed were as good as
ones that were special made and took years to just craft it.
By this time, the rest of the class had filtered in, and she agreed to
Harry's request of using these weapons himself, since he did fix them
himself. She cleared her throat and said a short introduction, "Hello, my
name is professor Enigma, and over there is Professor Black, we'll be co-
teaching you people physical DADA. Now this defense method mainly depends
on the physical ability of the person, not their magical abilities. This
course also requires will power and the desire to learn. Nothing will be
achieved if you lag around and punishment will be issued for lazy people.
Now, first thing's first, the proper dress for this class is important.
Boys should be shirtless and in a pair of comfortable pants, while girls
should have tank tops and a pair of comfortable pants." At this, a hubbub
rose up and most guys and all of the girls complained. Professor Enigma
then said," Now, don't complain, it's not that bad, changing rooms are by
the door, get to it, I expect to see you in 2 minutes."
Grumbling, the class did as expected and went to the changing rooms,
complaining loudly, though the complaints were mostly from the Slytherins,
not the Gryffindors. Harry went with the boys and walked into the large,
open changing room casually; not really caring that he was going to be
shirtless in front of girls. Over the summer, Harry had matured into a
cool and collected man, not worrying about little things that 15 year olds
always seem to care the most about. Not that he had to worry about most of
those embarrassing things anyway, most boys worried about their body and
how they needed to work out. Harry already trained his body into
perfection, and voice changes were already long gone, since now he had a
beautiful golden tenor voice that was just right for him in tones. It was
also perfect for singing, if he ever got a chance to. Other things like
facial hair, pimples and other annoying little things that happen at
puberty was also just about non-existent for Harry since he had perfect
control over his body and had made his puberty span shortened almost in
two. Now in the changing room, most of the boys were reluctant to take off
their shirts and change into a pair of comfortable pants that was waiting
for them when the got there, except for Harry because he had sent his back,
happy with the pair he had on now.
Malfoy was there sneering at everyone else, he was back to his old self and
was jeering at everyone with his two goons. He then looked at Harry still
in his shirt as he had just gotten in and said," Hey Potty, scared to
embarrass yourself by taking off your little shirt? Afraid you can't
compete with muscles of steel like mine?" At this, Malfoy took off his
pitifully small T-shirt and revealed an unbearably thin chest and stomach
with small shoulders and hardly any muscle. Up to that time, Harry had
been wearing only loose; comfortable clothing that didn't show his sinewy
body. Now though, with the whole room of boys watching in interest because
of the previously weak and thin Harry was taking on Malfoy still looking
thin, but tall. Harry then shrugged, took off his Hogwarts robes carefully
and laid it down on a section of the bench and them stripped off the thin
sweater that he had on to reveal his upper body. Malfoy stopped jaunting
at Harry then and shut up, turned on his heel purposely and walked away.
Then Harry looked at Ron who was also ready, and a little muscular too
around the abdominal area, and waved to him to get going. Outside, Harry
found a shirtless Sirius, who was also very muscular with board shoulders,
but not as lean as Harry, with muscles that are starting to loosen up, but
still very powerful. Also, there was professor Enigma in a tank top and
track pants. Harry started to stretch as the rest of the boys filed in
cautiously and waited for the slower girls. Harry looked at the boys
discreetly as he stretched and measured them against an opponent scale. He
first looked at poor chubby blundering Neville who was a little round in
all areas and was now currently trying to hide in a corner to avoid teasing
from Malfoy, who was strutting amongst the weaker Gryffindor boys and
jeering at them openly. Then there were Seamus and Dean, they were okay as
boys went, but they'd never have stamina in an actual duel. Then there was
Ron, he had been training a little, Harry could tell, but not much, he'd
make an okay opponent, but he tended to rush into things and fall into
traps. Then finally there were the Slytherin boys, there was Crabbe and
Goyle, who looked like moving tree, stumps, he'd have to use speed in a
match against them, not brute force. There was Malfoy who looked like a
good hard punch would knock him out, and the other boys ranged in between.
Harry decided he would have to be strategic around them as they looked like
they'd cheat. Harry then stopped stretching and started to jog around the
room as the girls started to file in. the braver ones first, followed by
the more timid ones. Hermione was one of the first ones out and she had
her nose buried in a course book, Harry jogged over to her, ignoring the
weird looks girls were giving to him. Then said," Hey, put that book down,
it's physical DADA, not bury your head in a book and read everything you
can about the subject." He grinned one of his mischievous grins at her,
which made all the girls coming out glare at Hermione for some reason.
The next second, Professor Black (I'll call him Sirius for convenience
sake) said to the class," All right everybody, myself and Professor Enigma
will demonstrate a physical combat to you and we'll pick two volunteers to
come up after us and show what they can do."
So the two fought, using only simple techniques, Harry noticed and in the
end Sirius had pinned her down. They asked for two volunteers who were
willing to fight against each other and Harry volunteered immediately.
Seeing this, Malfoy stood up with a sneer and volunteered to be the second
person. Sirius and Professor Enigma told them to use any technique that
they knew and the first one to knock the other out will win.
Harry grinned, and then bowed accordingly to Malfoy, Sirius sent sparks up
in the air and then backed away, leaving the two to duke it out. Malfoy at
once started a mad charge at Harry with his fists swinging everywhere;
Harry easily dodged to the side and gave Malfoy spinning sidekick as he
passed that made him fall heavily on the ground. By this time, Malfoy was
already sweating hard and Harry wasn't even breathing hard. After the
kick, Malfoy seemed to get his feelings under control and started to
control his movement. Harry still was holding back and was dodging
everything that Malfoy was throwing at him. He used back flips, and front
flips and other jumps that had Malfoy dizzy with confusion because Harry
was never there when he threw a punch, but always behind or beside him.
Malfoy was getting very impatient, and starting to make careless mistakes.
Harry then decided that it was time to make his move. He started off easy
by aiming 4 high kicks in a row at Malfoy's face and hitting right on each
time. He then grabbed Malfoy's foot as he aimed a kick at him and swept
him off his feet and on to the ground hard. There, Harry waited until
Malfoy was on his feet again and lunged at him to get him into a tight
headlock and punched his stomach with one fist over and over again. Then
he kneed him in the stomach and flipped him over onto his back hard,
knocking the wind out of him. Then, letting Malfoy get on his feet again,
Harry waited until the now bleeding Malfoy breathed again, but Malfoy
unexpectedly threw a punch at Harry and landed it. Harry reeled in semi
shock, and rubbed his now tingling jaw. His eyes grew cold and hard and he
wasn't fooling around anymore. This meant war for him. Harry then rushed
at Malfoy in 5 constant flips that carried him over Malfoy's head and spun
him in the air where he kicked Malfoy 3 times in a row. Then, he kicked
Malfoy's feet from under him and as he was falling, punched him at least 10
times, hard. The momentum of his fall and the punches made Malfoy fly
backwards until he hit the ground, then, when he stood up again, Harry gave
him a broken nose, a split lip, and 2 black eyes. Harry then stopped for a
moment and waited for Malfoy to recover a little. When he did though, he
called his two goons onto the scene and both of them rushed Harry at the
same time from opposite directions. Harry calmly waited until they were a
few meters away and jumped high in the air, doing a split and hitting both
of the goons in the face at the same time, and dropping them like a stone
too. He then remarked to Malfoy in a perfectly even and light voice," You
shouldn't really send other people onto a fight scene, it might be
dangerous." After he said that, he turned around and gave a really
powerful high kick at Malfoy's face as he said," Too bad you won't be
hanging around Malfoy, a good practice target like you are very convenient.
Oh well though, say good night." With that, Harry's kick knocked Malfoy
out like a light and made him drop like a stone. Harry then turned to
Sirius and professor Enigma and said," Is there another volunteer?"
The students in the room were in startled silence as Harry calmly looked at
the professors. Sirius then said in a slightly hoarse voice," Harry, do
you know how to use weapons?'
Harry replied instantly," Of course, would one of you like to challenge me?
Preferably on the sword, if that's possible."
This time, professor Enigma answered him as she said," I accept your
challenge, get your sword." Harry had asked Dumbledore the night before if
he could get one of his practice swords for a combat in this class and he
had agreed. Now, Harry looked at the shabbiest practice sword that he had
found in the weapons room attached to his belt and whispered the password.
Instantly, the pendant transformed into a beautiful sword with a plain hilt
and sheath that appeared on his belt. He drew the sword and stood in the
on guard position before a duel. Sirius said the rules, which were that
the first person to draw blood wins, and the duel ends then. He shot
sparks out of his wand once again and the duel started.
Instantly, Enigma lead the attack like Malfoy did, but she had a purpose to
it and Harry ginned, to the confusion of the crowd, in satisfaction in
finally having a different opponent that's alive. He blocked the blow
easily and shifted the tables; he now attacked while Enigma rushed to
defend herself. His sword was so fast that it was just a blur of silver
against Enigma's sword, which was also fast, but to defend instead. Harry
slowly backed her up until she was against a wall and had no more space to
move. He then backed off and allowed her to get into a more comfortable
spot, she complied and the duel started again. This time, Harry was the
one defending again and Enigma slowly backed him almost into a corner.
Harry smiled grimly at this and with a fake thrust into Enigma's defense,
he easily ran at the corner until he was running up the wall and stepped
against the other corner and flipped back behind Enigma where he lightly
cut her arm with the tip of his sword. Once that was done, Harry backed
away and sheathed his sword. The crowd was once again in shock and Sirius
stared at his godson. This, he thought, was not his old godson, this was
the grown up and mature Harry that has finally shown itself like he always
knew it would.
Professor Enigma then looked at Harry and said," Well, this sort of defeats
the purpose of us teaching you doesn't it." Harry smiled and turned away,
he walked back to his place in the audience and sat just like everyone
else. Professor Enigma then said," All right everyone, find yourselves a
partner and find an isolated spot in this room. Once that's done, I will
be showing you examples of different punches."
Harry looked at Ron who was siting next to him and asked," I guess you want
to partner with Hermione, don't worry, I already know this stuff so I'll be
fine."
It was true; Harry fooled around and practiced tricks and skills while the
rest of the class learned step by step on how to throw a good punch. He
then stopped when Sirius announced," Okay people, Professor Enigma and I
are combining our classes into one so now we'll be switching over to
dueling. Any volunteers to duel against me?" At this, Harry raised his
body and stepped up to Sirius. Saying in a quiet tone to him," I promise
to reverse everything I cast." To which Sirius smiled at and signaled to
Enigma to start the duel and launched a spell as sparks shot up. Harry
quickly blocked the disabling spell with his mind and shouted out,"
Inversio!" This made Sirius feel like he was in a dream. Then, almost
right after Harry shouted," Enchantio!" This then made Sirius feel as if
he was in a dream while shooting spells at a fake Harry who was standing
off to the side. Harry then yelled," Mano, Invecto, almasto, tincanto!"
This very ancient incantation did the weirdest thing ever; it turned Sirius
on his back and floated him over to Harry, while he was still oblivious to
what was going on. Harry then said simply," expellarmius." Sirius didn't
fall backwards because there was something there, holding him up, but his
wand was gone. Still though, he was oblivious to what was happening
because of the two powerful confusion spells that were put on him. Harry
then said the spells to undo the other spells and a blinking and confused
Sirius stood in front of Harry once more. Smiling a bit, Harry showed
Sirius his taken wand and gave it back to him without further delays.
Then, Harry sat down and watched as the recovered Sirius explained to
everyone what they're going to do and lest them to sort themselves out.
Harry was about to go and see what Ron and Hermione were up to when Blaze
flew in again, carrying a wobbly egg with him. Harry saw instantly that
the egg was about to hatch and leapt up to receive the egg from Blaze.
Blaze landed next to Harry and the both of them looked intently at the egg
until it at last hatched. The new baby phoenix looked at both Harry and
Blaze and accepted both of them as his parents. Then, it softly cooed like
all baby phoenixes do when they hatch and Blaze and Harry cooed back
loudly, though Harry's coo was almost drowned out in Blazes coo, but the
baby phoenix heard and that's all Harry cared about. Then, Blaze took the
phoenix away with the promise that he'd show Harry tonight. Then, Harry
looked around and saw everyone staring at him, he said," Oops, sorry,
didn't know the egg had to hatch so early, had to see it now so it trusts
me. Sorry for interrupting the lesson professors."
The class ended in a short time and Harry got dressed again and walked back
to his dorm to clean up. He took a quick shower in his trunk and got
dressed in one of his muggle dress clothes, because on the first day back,
there was only classes for half a day. He picked a bottle green shirt and
black suit pants; he also gave his hair a stroke with a brush to make it
even spikier. He then went down to the great hall to eat and was unnerved
by all the girls that crowded around him and complimented him in purrs. He
only got some peace when he sat down and began to fill his stomach, even if
he was very lean and slender, Harry still ate a reasonable amount for meals
that kept his body ready. Though he ate a lot, there wasn't and ounce of
pure fat on his body. Harry then finished his meals and tried to look for
Ron and Hermione in vain before using his glasses and finding them in the
library doing their homework. Harry went to the library and looked at his
friends. They were buried in books and studying, at least Hermione was,
Ron was fooling around and complaining that he wanted to play quidditch.
Harry stepped up to them and found out that they were trying to find more
spells to duel with. Harry grinned widely and then told the two that he
wished them luck but now they had to find out with him why all the girls in
this place are acting so strangely around him, even Slytherin girls. Ron
and Hermione goggled at him and Ron said," Harry, haven't you noticed that
you're one of the most popular person in the school this very moment, and
that girls dig you because of your looks and your muscles, and everything
else about you."
Harry frowned at them and then laughed out loud because he thought they
were kidding, but stopped abruptly when he saw their serious faces. He
said," You're really not kidding," to which they nodded and looked at him
without flinching. Harry's face was quizzical as he then sighed and said,"
Well, I make it you people's responsibility to rescue me from any mob of
girls that I have to run from. Deal?" Ron and Hermione nodded and Harry
breathed a breath of relief.
Once Harry was out of the deserted corridor with his still exasperated
friends, and stepped into the common room, he was instantly bombarded with
girls from all sides. He glared at Ron and Hermione who then quickly came
and Ron dragged Harry away while Hermione distracted the girls momentarily.
Harry quickly stole away to his dorm and looked at his two friends that
were gathered around him and said," If this is the treatment I get
everyday, then I would rather be invisible than visible." At that moment
though, Harry remembered that he had meant to talk to Sirius about his
powers and thought that this would be a good opportunity to ask Sirius for
advice. So, he made up and excuse and escaped from his wary friends.
