The room started to fill. There was a lot of excitement and gossip in the air. Landyr stood next to Harry; both of which were not saying anything. The door opened again. An angry looking red head with freckles walked in followed by the bushy haired Hermione Granger. The red headed girl looked familiar. Yes, she was the one that was hit while trying to fly back to the castle.
"Why did they cancel Quidditch? Have you spoken to Dumbledore about this?" The red headed girl asked all at once.
Harry raised his hands signaling that he wanted silence, "Ginny, I will ..."
"What's he doing here?" Hermione interrupted.
Landyr didn't like her attitude when he first arrived, and now he really doesn't like her. Everybody was now silent listening in on the conversation.
"His name is Landyr Dral. He will be joining us for a week. He will be teaching a lesson later on." Harry said.
"Teaching us a lesson? We only want the best to teach us, that is why I wanted you to be the teacher when Ron and I came up with this club. Perhaps we should test him. I challenge him to a Wizard's Duel. Ron will be my second."
Landyr stared at her. Hermione went for her wand, but it wasn't there.
"Looking for this?" Landyr said as he held up her wand.
"You are supposed to wait until the count of three before you caste you spell," Hermione now really hot.
Landyr was fighting off a strong urge to slap her, "Really? I didn't ..."
A red headed boy cut in, "Give back her wand or you'll eat slugs!" Ron went for his wand.
Landyr held up two wands, "We really don't have time for this. You two will get back your wands when you need them."
"Ron! Hermione! Landyr is right. We do not have time for this. Everybody listen up. Professor Dumbledore would like us to have a meeting every night after supper. I know most of you have OWLS and NEWTS to prepare for, but this is extremely important." A grave look came over Harry's face.
Hermione seeing Harry's expression said, "Is everything all right, Harry? Is there something we should know?"
"Yes there is, but I am not allowed to tell you," Harry chocked. "I was thinking that we could practice a few basic spells before dinner, and then have another meeting afterwards. I am going to ask for permission to have meetings that last until midnight. Under the circumstances, I think we will be allowed to."
Landyr returned Ron and Hermione's wands. The first charm that they started with was the summoning charm. Landyr pull out his wand and held it in his right hand. He could feel a slight vibration from the shear power of the wand. He pointed his wand at a book, cried out "accio book", and the book flew across the room with great speed. It slammed into his chest knocking him on to the ground. The room was filled with poorly held back giggles and chuckles. Some were in awe that a wand could do that. Landyr went a slight shade of red as he stood up. He finally learned what Dumbledore meant when he said that Landyr needed to control the power of the wand. Next was the stunning spell. Everybody partnered up, except no one wanted to be Landyr's partner. He pointed his wand at a vase and cried "stupefy". The vase exploded. Everyone looked at Landyr most likely thinking that they're glad that that wasn't them. Another vase appeared. Landyr said in a small, restrained voice "stupefy". The vase just barely moved.
They practiced more spells and Landyr tried to control the power of the wand. He was getting better at it. Landyr was having more fun than he ever had. So, much so that he didn't even realize that it was getting close to supper. Harry dismissed everyone, so that they may prepare for dinner. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stayed back to talk to Landyr.
"Do you know where you are sitting for supper?" inquired Harry.
"No. I guess I can sit anywhere."
There was a knock at the door, and then it opened. A short, pointy-eared creature ran into the room. "Dobby is glad to see Harry Potter, sir," squeaked Dobby.
"Dobby, this is Landyr Dral," Harry said pointing at Landyr.
"Dobby knows, sir. Dumbledore told Dobby to bring this robe to Landyr, sir. The robe has the Hogwarts' emblem on it." Dobby handed Landyr the black robe with the Hogwarts' crest on it, and then left in a hurry while saying, "Dobby is needed in the kitchen. Good bye, sirs!"
"So, you just put this on over your regular clothes, right?"
"Yes," answered Harry a bit amused.
Landyr pulled on his robe, and the four set off to the Great Hall.
"How did you take our wands?" asked Hermione.
"I guessed that you were going to go for your wand by what you were saying, so I thought of your wand and it appeared in my hand." Landyr replied casually.
"Bloody hell! You can do wand less magic." Ron said sounding impressed.
Even Hermione looked impressed, "You must be pretty good to do wand less magic that well. Where were you schooled at?"
"Well, I really haven't had any formal magic schooling. I guess you could say that I'm self taught."
"Did you not receive an invitation to attend any wizard school?" Hermione asked.
"There really aren't any wizard schools where I am from." Landyr trailed off.
The Great Hall was full when they arrived. Everyone silenced when Landyr stepped through the doorway. Then once again the chattering started. Landyr followed Harry over to the Gryffindore table. The golden plates filled with an assortment of food: roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and green beans.
After supper, another DA meeting was held. Someone was brave enough to be Landyr's partner since he was able to get a grip on the power of his wand. The time went just as fast as it did before supper. Ten minutes before midnight, the meeting was adjourned. The weary students left the room shuffling their feet. When everyone was gone, Landyr thought about a Hogwarts style bedroom. A large four-poster and a door to a bathroom appeared. He thought up some pajamas, put them on, and then fell asleep instantly.
