Hello everyone!

First of all, I have to apologize for not updating on time. We were painting our house and stuff so I could barely go on the comp for two seconds!

Second, I have changed who the two girls are. I'm so sorry but it just goes better with the plot and it's more symmetrical. I'm really weird and I guess you'll know what I mean later. J The only chapters changed were 1, 2, 5 had anything changed so you might want to go look through it.

Lesson One, Part One

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Their surrounding started to change to a forest. Suddenly, their chairs were gone and they found themselves on the ground. Climbing to his feet and rubbing his bottom, he took in his surroundings.

The first thing he noticed was that none of the plants were like any he had seen before. The leaves were all shaped oddly. Some were so large the hung down and they brush the forest floor when a light wind blew. Others seemed to reach up toward a sky he could not see through the leaves. Sometimes a beam of light could be seen peeking through but somehow it would get covered up, as if the forest didn't want the sun shining through.

They seemed to be in a clearing and the rest of the jungle was so thick, he would bet he wouldn't be able to walk through it.

"This is impossible!" The brown haired girl, who he remembered as Themis, breathed. "I have never heard of plants like this before."

Harry moved closer to one of the plants to get a closer look when he saw a pair of glowing amber eyes, staring at him predatorily.

Amber eyes. A white owl. Hedwig. He remembered before focusing his attention on the pair of eyes in front of him. Slowly, never breaking eye contact, he backed away.

"Guys," he whispered furiously. They followed his line of vision and saw the creature.

Without warning the creature walked into the clearing towards him. It was a lion, a very large lion and it had a pair of enormous golden wings. It had no mane and Harry assumed it was a female. It came to a stop five feet in front of them and stretch, showing it's expansive muscles. Then it started to disfigure; morph until it was a woman. She had long auburn hair and bright green eyes. Green eyes. Lily. His mother. He had yet another memory. Harry smiled at her and she returned it.

"Hello kids," she said jovially. The girl with dark coppery hair, he remembered as Aurora, let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. "I am here to teach you how to live and protect yourselves in the wild. If it hadn't been me just now, you would have been dead."

Wow, I could have died just now, Harry thought to himself.

"We had better get started," Lily looked like she was going to enjoy herself and Harry hoped it wouldn't be at their expense. "First, you must build yourselves a shelter."

Harry looked at her dumbfounded, wondering if she was serious.

"Well? Chop-chop!" She clapped her hands together, as if to shake them from their stupor. They got to work gathering larger leaves and sticks. Lily waved her hand and a lawn chair appeared, which she plopped herself down into.

Harry walked over to the girl, Themis, and asked her, "Where should we build the shelter?"

"I believe that to dig a hole under some roots would be the best option," she explained, "As you saw, the predatory animals in this area are well-equipped to climb trees and I feel we could better protect ourselves if there are the least amount possible of entrances to our shelter."

"Good thinking," he complimented her and she smiled in thanks. "How could we build some shovels to dig?"

Themis seemed to be deep in though until the blond boy, Silvanus, appeared, looking over her shoulder. She looked at him, annoyed and asked, "Do you need something?"

He brought something out from behind his back and smirked smugly. He was holding a shovel.

"How did you make that?" Themis asked enthusiastically, while examining the shovel thoroughly.

"Oh… I have my ways," he said while seemingly examining his nails.

Harry just shook his head and said, "Well, get digging." Silvanus looked put out for a moment before running off. A few minutes later he returned with three more shovels. They all got to work, digging underneath the largest tree in the area.

***

He didn't know how long they had been digging but Lily stuck her head in the hole and said, "I'll be going now. It's not wise to stay out here after dark. Ta ta." She waved and added, "Have a nice night," before laughing and disappearing from sight.

Silvanus jumped up, out of the hole yelling, "Wait, wait! You can't leave us here alone." He returned carrying the leaves they had collected and grumbled, "Good-night." He grabbed a couple of leaves before going off to the far side of the hole and retiring for the night. Harry and the other two followed his example and were soon sound asleep.

***

Harry woke to the sound of a howl. He noticed that it wasn't yet light out and the other hadn't been woken. He saw a shadow, cast by the moonlight, pass the entrance of the hole. For the longest time Harry stared at the opening until he drifted off to sleep.

***

Harry didn't know how much later, he woke, only this time he was sure it was day. Looking around the hole, he noticed only Silvanus and Themis were there, still fast asleep.

Climbing up through the hole, he found Aurora with her back away from him, a few feet away from the entrance. She seemed to be working one something. He took one step forward and she whipped around to face him. As soon as she saw it was him, she looked relieved and he saw she was holding a sharp rock and a stick.

"What are you doing?" He asked, indicating to the rock and the stick, which he now noticed seemed to be cut to make a point at the end.

She looked down at what she was doing and said, "I heard things prowling around here last night and I thought we should have a way of protecting ourselves."

"I did too, scared me almost half to death." He admitted and she smiled and nodded in agreement. "Can I help?" He asked.

"Sure. Find a sharp rock and a stick. I think you can figure it out." She smiled and added, "At least we have something else to do while those lazy-bones are still sleeping."

He laughed and went to find a sharp rock. Soon, he found one and sat under a tree to get to work until the others got up.
