Chapter 4- Rain of Fire

Harry was shaken awake the following morning by Ron "Harry hurry up your going miss our first lesson with professor Lupin in half an hour and we still need to get something to for breakfast." Harry got out of bed put on some robes and followed Ron down to the great hall to get something to eat before going to their first wandless magic lesson which was being held out on the school grounds because some of the spells they were going to be performing would require a lot of room.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrive early to their first wandless magic lesson to find everyone from the prefects meeting the night before was there waiting for class to start. About fifteen minutes later Professor Lupin arrived "Hello everyone and welcome to your first wandless magic lesson I'm Professor Remus Lupin and I'll be your teacher"

"First off how many of you have had any experience with wandless magic" asked the professor looking at the group of students.

"I have professor" said Harry stepping to the front of the group

"Excellent Harry would you mind telling which spell and giving a slight demonstration" asked Lupin wondering what kind of spell Harry was going to perform

"Sure professor" said Harry "I'm going to perform the Draconius spell."

Harry couldn't ever remember seeing his classmates this scared before even Lupin looked a little worried because the Draconius spell was a very powerful and dangerous spell that many of the students had seen him practicing out on the grounds in his free time

"Harry you may begin whenever you are ready but first let me create a magical barrier around the rest of the class to protect them incase the spell backfires" Lupin then used his wand to create magical glass boxes around the rest of the students "Okay Harry go ahead"

Harry put his wand back into his pocket and began to concentrate on his spell and the dragon it created and when he was finally ready he held his hands above his head and as he did the sky above them burst into flames and fire rained from the sky and collected into a giant ball right in front of Harry and slowly began to take the shape of a dragon and by the time the spell was complete a large flaming dragon stood staring down at the class waiting for Harry to command it.

"Very good Harry but can you control it" asked Lupin staring I awe at the dragon standing before him.

"Yes, of course I can and watch this" after saying this Harry jumped onto the dragon's back and flew down to the Quidditch pitch taking a couple of laps around it before coming back and landing in front of a still stunned class and with another spell the dragon disappeared as quickly as it was created

"That was amazing. Where did you learn such an advanced spell?" Lupin asked still surprised that someone Harry's age was able to perform such a complex spell.

"To tell you the truth I didn't find it in a book I created it during summer vacation hoping it would be helpful incase we had to fight Voldemort the dragon cannot be harmed by any spell because it is made up of the hopes and dreams of every living person which can never be destroyed by the forces of darkness" answered Harry before returning to the rest of the students so Lupin could continue class.

"Well I planning on starting on simple wandless magic like how to perform a spell that lets you throw fireballs but seeing as Mr. Potter has shown that you are all capable of some slightly more complicated spells I think we'll end our lesson here today so I can go and plan what I'm going to teach you in your lesson later this afternoon now as long as no one has anything to add class dismissed.

Ron and Hermione caught up with Harry on his way to lunch "Harry that was great I knew you were working on creating a spell of your own but I had no idea that it was that strong or that you were that close to finishing it" said Hermione once she had finally caught up to Harry.

As they entered the great hall and sat at the large table that had been there the night they had arrived at Hogwarts and began to eat lunch as Harry explained "I finished it about two weeks before Dudley and I left his parents home I must have surprised Dudley and Aunt Petunia at least fifteen times when they had walked into my room to find small replicas of all kinds of dragons flying around the room as I tried to decide which one I like best."

"That's great but where did you hear about the Phoenix Fire Dragon I've read almost every book on magical creatures that you can find in Diagon Alley and I haven't even heard of it do you mind telling me where you read about it" asked Hermione between bites of food

"You both remember all of the research I did on spells and charms for the Triwizard tournament during our fourth year here" Harry said and watched as Ron and Hermione nodded "well I got permission from one of the professors to use the Restricted Section in the library so that I would have a fair chance at winning the tournament and during one evening I happened to find a book on rare and hard to find magical creatures which I spent about ten minutes skimming through taking notes on some of the more interesting ones I found. Later when I was creating the Draconius spell and was getting frustrated that I couldn't find the right dragon that I liked and would want my spell to summon and then I thought back to the notes I had taken and went and checked to see if I had made any notes on dragons that most people haven't heard of or weren't that familiar with" said Harry looking rather proud of himself

The next three and half weeks went smoothly Dudley was even able to find some free time away from his studies which he spent with Harry out on the Quidditch pitch with Harry who showed him some of the basics of the game using the brooms that the professors had given them and after an hour of practice Harry had to admit that Dudley was as much of a natural at Quidditch as he was and when they finally landed three hours later both of them were so tired that they could barely make the walk back to the castle to eat dinner.

A couple of hours later Harry and Dudley finally entered the common room and sank into two of the largest chairs they could find when Harry turned to Dudley "You know Dudley your really good at Quidditch maybe you should try out for the house team considering we have several openings because of certain events that took place of the end of last year."

"Are you sure Harry I mean I haven't been playing that long and Professor McGonagall said we weren't allowed to use the brooms they gave us so what am I going to use during the games if I make the team"

"I'm sure you'll do fine as long as you try your best. Also I'm not supposed to tell anyone but Professor McGonagall sent me a new broom for my birthday earlier this summer she said it might come in handy during the Quidditch season so if you want to you can use my old Firebolt for tryouts and if you make the team you can go keep it to use during practice and games" said Harry

Harry and Dudley talked until they both fell asleep in the chairs they were sitting in by the fire.
