Author's note - I would love any feedback I can get, so PLEASE review or email me at web_chick_18@hotmail.com. Thanks. =) I am going to try to get chapters out as fast as I can but due to the wonderful complication of homework that won't be as fast as I like, grades wait upon no ones fun… I just finished re-reading the series and realized that I under estimated the number of forbidden objects, in the 4th book it is 437 sooooo….add about 600 to the number I mentioned in the earlier chapters (chpt. 1 I think) and that should be about the right amount. I also realize that Dumbledore seems to use a lot of "wandless magic" and all I can say is that it will be explained why in a way that suits my story.
Chapter 3
"Welcome to your first Wandless Magic class. I'm Professor Decigo. I realize that many of you have rumors that have been flying around about me; so I thought it best to let you know what is true. My father was a Wizard and my mother a Sorceress, I am therefore both. I am technically an Auror, but with the war it was felt that I would be of more use teaching here. Now with that out of the way let us begin with what I expect. I expect all of you to come with an open mind, ready to learn and work to the very extent of your ability. This is going to be more than just difficult; I am going to be teaching you how to draw upon a force that you have never dreamed of. Before I can begin that you will have to understand the force you are to work with. You will want to take notes on this as it will be reoccurring."
As the students took out parchment, quills and ink Kalila summoned her notes with a thought. Setting them down upon her teaching podium, she turned back to face the class.
"The first thing you have to understand is that knowledge by itself is neither good not bad, it is how it is used that makes it one or the other. Now in the world there are different elements that provide us with a base for magic. The element earth deals with healing and life; fire with heat and light; water with healing and emotions; air with movement and change; and spirit with the healing and well being of the mind, emotions and soul. These elements all combine into what you know to be magic. Together they allow you to wave your wand, say and incantation and change things. In here you will learn to harness the power of the elements. For example if you wanted to magically soothe someone in distress due to an injury you would, more than likely use a combination of earth, water and spirit; water to sooth, earth to heal the physical and spirit to heal the rest. While if you wanted to summon an object you would use air. The difference between this and what you already know is mainly how you go about it. There are some things that can only be done with a wand, such as apparating; while others can only be done without a wand, such as talking to the non-talking, magical creatures that roam the globe. But today we are going to try a variation of something you know, levitation. For today you are going to attempt to levitate your wand from the top of your desk to a few inches about your desk. To do this you will need to envision a platform of solid air ender your wand, lifting it. In a way this will be a test of will. I do not expect all of you to be able to achieve this by the end of the class, but I do expect it by the end of the week. Now begin."
As the students attempted to do what they though to be an impossible task, Kalila walked around the room offering advice and encouragement to all. By the last twenty minuets of class two people had conquered the task she had set, a more than she had expected. Calling a halt to the class' attempts she allowed the students to pack up. As they finished packing their supplies into their book bags Kalila cast a spell upon the room, granting the class the ability to see the elements at work in the room. Then she preformed a simple spell with her wand and then one without showing and explaining the differences in the magic used for both. Spying the time Kalila let go of the spell making the elements visible to all and dismissed the class with a reminder to practice what they had learned.
The morning for Kalila continued in that same general pattern as she taught the seventh year Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws; after lunch she had the seventh year Slytherines. The lesson began well enough, yet Kalila felt more than just a touch of unease during the class. She reasoned with herself that it was just nerves, but she mentally made a note to talk with Dumbledore. After dismissing the class she still felt as if there was something not quite right. Just as she was leaving to seek out Dumbledore the cause of her unease appeared with a barely hearable "pop".
"My Queen I have come to protect you. The times are dangerous, especially for one such as you. I beg you not to take offense, I do not mean to imply that you cannot watch out for yourself, just that two sets of eyes often watch for danger far more effectively than one."
"Why am I not surprised to see you here Cian? I thought Hell Hounds preferred the company of each other to the company of human?"
"We do, but you are one of the few exceptions."
"Well in that case we had better go talk with the Headmaster so that the staff is not too surprised to see you. Wouldn't due to have you be hexed on accident."
"As you wish Your Majesty."
"Right, this way then."
With a dainty flick of her hand Kalila shut and locked the classroom door and warded it against intruders, as she and the black and silver wolf like form that was Cian walked down the hall towards Dumbledore's office. If anyone had looked closely at Cian they would have noticed two things. First the silver formed flames upon Cian's coat and second his eyes were black with what looked to be silver flames dancing through them. There was no sound as the pair walked down the hall.
