~First Day of the Rest of Their Lives~
The boys were awoken early in the day by a smiling Dumbledore. 'Hurry up boys, got to start early or you won't be able to fit all of you training into the day'. Ron looked incredulously at their old headmaster and asked 'How much do you expect us to do?' Dumbledore chuckled at this and just said 'enough, this is of course the first day of the rest of your lives.', Ron grumbled at this response and the gryffindors got dressed talking excitedly about their training, well all of them except Ron who hadn't gotten used to the idea of being woken up before he could smell breakfast wafting up to his room.
The Brotherhood walked into the Great Hall and was greeted by several Order of the Phoenix members including, Tonks, "Mad-eye" Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Sturgis Podmore, and Remus Lupin. 'Wotcher Harry' Tonks said brightly
'Heard we'll be trainin' you kids up huh? Well you better be ready for us' Moody said with a grin on his scarred face. Shacklebolt and Podmore just smiled and shook their hands and Lupin greeted them with a cheery 'Hello boys'.
Lupin then pulled Harry to the side while the other boys got acquainted with the people they would be spending the rest of their summers with.
'Harry I just wanted to tell you that I don't blame you in anyway for Sirius' death, I'm going to train you as hard as I can so that you can avenge his death' Lupin said this with a steely glint in his eyes that Harry had never seen before. All Harry could do was nod because the thought of Sirius made Harry choke up. At that moment Dumbledore strode into the room ready to address the boys and their instructors.
'Hello to all of you, I know that only the young men of gryffindor know why they are being trained so let me tell the elders why they are training you.
Dumbledore then proceeded to tell the Order members about the Brotherhood, about the young men being animagi, and how they were all drawn to one another. All the Order members were amazed by what they were told and kept glancing at the gryffindors out of the corners of their eyes (accept for Moody who just looked through the side of his head). Then Dumbledore told them how they were going to be trained for the rest of the month. Sturgis would be teaching them all Stealth and Concealment for two hours each day starting today with Seamus, Harry, and Dean because they were ground animals.
Lupin was going to be teaching Ron and Neville dueling during those two hours, then after the two hours, Harry, Seamus, and Dean would switch to Lupin and Ron and Neville would switch to Sturgis. That would bring them to lunch, which would be forty-five minutes long.
After lunch all the boys would go to Dumbledore who would teach them all, new spells, curses, charms, and jinxes for one hour, and teach them how to use telepathy to speak to each other in their minds for the next hour.
After that Harry would go with Ron and Tonks would teach them how to change their appearance by turning them into metamorphmagi, while that was going on, Seamus, Neville, and Dean would be learning how to focus part of their magical core to their arms, and legs, so that they could run faster and longer and be stronger, while in human form. Then they would switch. For the last hours of training for the day their reflects would be put to the test and improved by all the instructors turning invisible and firing curses at the young men at random times with the gryffindors trying to dodge them. They became even greater of friends and knew more about each other then they knew about themselves.
For the first half of the month the young men excelled at their training and perfected everything they were taught, so a new training program was introduced to them on a rainy mid-august day. 'Well boys', Dumbledore started, 'you've perfected your training so now, your going to have 2 hours of training three days a week on sensing danger before it happens, since I myself am the only person in the world to know how to do this I will be your only instructor'. The young men all looked very happy about this and all exchanged glances. This meant that they could explore the school and the grounds, they would know even more about the school and the grounds then The Marauders and The Twins did! Dumbledore told them they would meet him on the quidditch pitch on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday every week until school starts, today, being Thursday meant that they were off until Sunday so they went to explore the school first, and tomorrow they would explore the grounds. They decided to split into groups, Harry and Seamus would go together and Dean, Ron and Neville would go together, they told each other to inform them by mind speech if they found anything.
It was the day before school starts and the boys were all lazing about in a room they found that looked exactly like the animagi clearing with the pond and the boulder in the middle of it. They had to agree that this was their favorite room by far, they didn't know why but it was just comforting being in this room. At the moment they were all in their animagi forms and Harry was play fighting with Dean, Dean of course was winning because of his superior strength but they were having fun all the same. Neville and Ron were having a race in the air and found out they were evenly matched when it came to speed. Seamus at the moment was stalking a magical rabbit along the edge of the clearing, he went for the pounce he hit his mark but when the rabbit realized what was happening it just disappeared, they all suddenly stopped what they were doing and transformed back. Harry took charge and started giving out orders, Neville, Ron you two know what to do get outside, get into the air and do a sweep of the area, well be along right after you, with that the two birds were out the door and out the nearest window they could find, Seamus Dean, lets go they started running and when they got to the entrance hall they transformed while running, they busted through the doors with quite a force, but it was strangely quiet, Seamus went to one side, Dean to the other and Harry took the middle, suddenly, everything went pitch dark, 'Well Harry thought, they can't be too smart they just gave us an advantage. But then simultaneously the brotherhood noticed something coming out of the forest. 'Vampires!' Harry thought, while Harry was thinking this the others came to his side and they transformed into humans, Harry half a step in front of the others gave out the orders, 'Okay boys you know what to do, these creatures are here to hurt us, light spells to stun them then use the anything on the ground to transfigure into a wooden steak'. They all ran with their wands pointing in front of them at the vampires and as one they all yelled 'Lumos' with most of the power the could and it light all of the grounds like it was the middle of the day, ironically it was. The vampires all stopped in their tracks and threw their hands up to shield their skin from the light, at this point the boys transfigured everything on the ground that they could see into wooden steaks and shot them at the vampires with a banishing charm and them moment that the steaks hit them they disappeared, this confused the boys because once a vampire gets hit with a steak they were supposed to blow up in a puff of smoke. Suddenly the light came back and Dumbledore came out of nowhere in front of them and congratulated them, for their excellent performance, even though they were just copies of real vampires that he made to test their abilities.
The brotherhood grumbled at this knowing that it wasn't a real threat and walked into the school again, they headed to the great hall where the whole Hogwarts staff commended them on there abilities, again they grumbled for being tricked. They all sat down at the gryffindor table where a small portion of it had mounds of food on it for the boys. After eating Harry stood up and said 'I'm feeling tired I'm going for a nap in the "Animagi Room" as they dubbed it. Harry took a short cut to the room and walked in, he transformed into his wolf and laid down beside the pond, he fell into an uneasy sleep dreaming about The Brotherhood of the Wolf running through a grassy field in there animal forms heading straight at a foe they must defeat, only this time it was much more detailed, he saw that he was fighting against Voldemort, and the others were fighting against Dark lords from the past. Them all sound cut out, until he heard Voldemort talking about bringing "them" back from the past with a certain number of their own followers, to help him take over the world. Harry awoke with a start to see that the others were in there as well sleeping in their animal forms, Harry awoke the others and asked if they were dreaming about fighting, then Voldemort talking about bringing the past Dark Lords back to help him. They all said that's exactly what they were dreaming of and they all agreed,
Dumbledore has to know about this.
Well that's the end of this chapter, thanks for reviewing; I'm going to make this a novel length fic,
I'm going to update soon.
Just so you know for in the next chapters, anything with a * in front and after is going to be mind speech,
And also the reason you haven' seen Hermione yet is because she isn't going to be a main character,
She's going to be best friends with Parvati and Lavender. So this is pretty much, if Harry and Ron never were friends
With Hermione, sorry to any people that likes her.
