Chapter 2- Explanations, Powers, Sykes!

Harry landed on a marble stone floor with a reverberating 'THUMP!

"Ah finally," sighed someone over in the distance.

Quickly standing up Harry went to grab his wand but remembered it was in the top draw in the desk in the bedroom.

"Who's there?" called Harry angrily.

Then out of nowhere a well built tanned man wearing a pair of black trousers a vest top and trainers appeared in front of him. He had jet black hair that had streaks of blonde and red in, his face had a weathered look and is eyes were a mixture of hazel, black, and blue.

"Hmmm... your not very tall are you?" questioned the man.

"Look who the hell are you?" repeated Harry impatiently.

"Ah watch your language Harry," admonished the man.

"Well?" repeated Harry.

"Well what?" asked the man innocently.

"URGH! WHO ARE YOU?" shouted Harry.

Smiling he replied, "Sykes at your service also don't yell at me,"

"I'll yell at who I want," spat Harry.

"Listen if you don't, then you'll wake them up," replied Sykes pointing upwards, "Then I'll be in trouble,"

"Good. Where am I?" questioned Harry.

"Well it doesn't really have a name but you're in a different plain," answered Sykes, "Please sit down."

Tow chairs were conjured and Harry was unable to stop himself from sitting in one of the chairs whilst Sykes took the other one.

"What am I doing here?" asked Harry wearily.

"Well to be trained of course!" answered Sykes as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Trained in what?" asked Harry bewildered.

"In your powers," answered Sykes slowly.

"I don't have any other powers," replied Harry carefully.

"You mean to tell me that Dumbledore didn't tell you?" asked Sykes.

"Tell me what?" moaned Harry.

"Look okay I'll tell you," began Sykes, "There is something's you need to be told; firstly you are a air and fire elemental. Secondly you are heir to Gryffindor and are probably more powerful than Dumbledore,"

Harry sat there stunned for a moment before replying, "Yeah course I am mate. Now tell me who put you up to this, the Weasley twins?"

"Harry no one put me up to anything, I assure you anything I tell you is the truth," answered Sykes seriously, "Now I have two years to teach you everything I know so I suggest you get an early night."

Just as Harry was going to retort he found himself in a comfortable different room. In the room were a big four poster bed and a nightstand.

Ambling over to the bed Harry noticed that there was a timetable on the nightstand, curiously Harry picked it up and read it and he nearly fell off the bed.

Month 1: -

6:00am- wake up.

9:30-12-practise wand less magic.

12-12:30- Lunch

12:30-5:00pm-practise wand less magic.

9:00pm-Bed.

Month 2: -

6:00-wake up.

9:30-12-Animagus transformations.

12-12:30-Lunch.

12:30-5:00pm-Animagus transformations.

9:00pm-bed.

And the list went on and on from learning about advance Potions to advance Occlumency, but one month did catch his attention that was the month in the second year when it said he would meet his parents and say goodbye to Sirius.

Sighing Harry slipped into the big comfortable bed took his glasses off snuggled down and fell into a dreamless sleep. Not even Lord Voldemort himself was able to break through the barriers and ward that were protecting Harry's body and mind.


Harry woke up the next morning feeling for the first time in a month refreshed and comfortable. But there wasn't much time to dwell on how comfortable he felt because the second he had finished getting dressed the room changed to a dinning room with Sykes sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Bout time you got up you lazy bum!" greeted Sykes.

"You could have told me the scenery changes!" spat back Harry.

Sighing Sykes replied, "You need to know Harry that I will not tolerate you snapping back at me. Your guardian maybe able to but I won't,"

"Guardian, you mean the Dursleys?" questioned Harry taking a seat.

"No I mean Remus," answered Sykes before continuing, "he is trying desperately to help you, but you are so consumed by your own grief you are blocking out all you loved ones," explained Sykes, "I am sorry for your loss Harry but you have got bigger things to do then grieve and I know it isn't easy but you have got not choice!"

Harry just sat there stunned; this man who he had only just met was telling him to get over it. But if he thought about it, it was true he had been pushing everyone he cared about away and that was making him lonelier than he wanted to be.

"Okay," admitted Harry defeated, "I will admit you are right. So where do we began?"

Clapping his hands together Sykes answered, "Immediately so hurry up!"

Knowing it would get him no where if he argued Harry just set about eating his rather large breakfast.

"So how do you know for certain that I am the heir to Gryffindor?" asked Harry round a mouthful of food.

"Because you dad was," answered Sykes, "I knew Dumbledore wouldn't tell you anything!"

Swallowing his piece of toast Harry queried, "How did you know Dumbledore wouldn't tell me?"

Sighing Sykes replied, "Because he's Albus Dumbledore all great wizard-was- until the day you were born. Wizards and witches across England felt the raw power of someone powerful being born,"

"Me?" gulped Harry.

"Yes. That kind of power was only ever felt once before when a boy was born in the middle of May around 30 years ago," explained Sykes.

"W-who?" asked Harry quietly.

"Tom Maravlo Riddle also known to you as Lord Voldemort!" answered Sykes.

"So how can I destroy him? If he is as powerful as me why not get someone who is more powerful to destroy him?" questioned Harry.

"I have and he is staring at me right now," answered Sykes chuckling.

"It's me isn't it?" asked Harry nervously.

"Yes you are more powerful than me, Dumbledore, Tom and Gryffindor together. You are the one Harry to give light back to wizards and witches everywhere," explained Sykes.

"NO!" exclaimed Harry angrily.

"Excuse me?"

"I don't want it, don't you see I've already got my dad, mum Cedric and my godfather killed if I am all that powerful why couldn't I save them?" questioned Harry as tears streaked his face.

"Unfortunately scarifies were made," answered Sykes, "Your parents scarified themselves for you to live, you godfather went in to rescue you and again he protected you,"

"What about Cedric huh?" asked Harry.

"Again that was unfortunate he shouldn't have died as a muggle would say 'he was in the wrong place and the wrong time'," replied Sykes, "Now enough talk we need to train,"

"Wait!" interrupted Harry, "I need to tell Remus I'm okay and I wont be home for another two years,"

"Harry my boy it is only two years here there it is only going to be two days," explained Sykes.

Nodding Harry got up and waited for the room to change, sure enough after Sykes stood up the room changed to a room with books, cushions, and other bric-a-brac lying around.

"Right wand less magic we're starting with so please when you get home snap your wand," instructed Sykes.

Again all Harry could do was nod before he could say anything else though the training began in earnest.


"Oy! You come back here!" shouted Sykes

A snow Leopard shot pass three people who were watching the scene unfold before them. One man had messy jet black hair and brown eyes that were behind black rimmed glasses. The woman sat at the mans side was also laughing she had red tresses that reached the middle of her back and she had sparkling green eyes. The third and last man had shoulder length black hair with bright blue eye and he was doubled over with laughter. The three laughing people's names were James Potter, Lily Evans-Potter and Sirius Black.

It was nearing the end of the two year training programme for Harry Potter he had gained most of his powers and was now one of the most powerful wizards around.

In the two years in the plain-as he had come to call it-Harry had mastered the animagus forms, wand less magic, Occlumency, Advance potions, Transfiguration, DADA, Herbology, ancient runes as well as using swords, daggers bows, axes. Also he had found out that as an air elemental he could control the weather, obscuring mist, controlling winds and creating tornados. As well as being an air elemental Harry was also a fire elemental where he could control a flaming sphere, fire shield, and a firestorm.

Harry's two animagus forms were a Phoenix and a Snow Leopard. He was currently running around in his animagus form annoying Sykes to no end.

Transforming back Harry sat in a conjured stone and called, "Hey Sykes if you're looking for Silver he went that way," and he pointed behind him.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?" asked Sykes angrily.

"Um... sorry Sykes I just wanted a little fun before I left," apologized Harry.

"Leave him alone Sykes," put in Sirius.

"Urgh! Bring a family together and I get the grief," sighed Sykes good naturedly.

Jumping up Harry went over to sit with his mum, dad, and godfather since they had joined him and Sykes two days ago Harry had seemed more at peace with himself but he knew it was going to be hard to leave them again.

"Harry you okay you just went rather quiet?" asked Sirius.

"I'm fine," answered Harry.

"Harry I may not have been there for you, but I know you're lying," pointed out Lily.

Sighing Harry replied, "Okay it's just going to be really hard to leave you guys,"

"Harry we aren't going to leave you," responded James, "We will always be with you in your heart and we will always be watching you through everything you do in your life. And no matter what we are all proud of you."

All Harry could do was nod mutely as his dad, mum, and godfather enveloped him in a group hug and they didn't notice Sykes standing over to the side sniffling quietly and wiping his eyes.

Sniffling Sykes cleared his throat and said, "Right well Harry I'm sorry but it is time,"

"Okay. Mum I love you bye," replied Harry hugging him mum.

"You take care Harry," responded Lily.

Pulling away Harry went next to James, "I love you as well dad, bye,"

"You tell Remus were always watching him and you make sure to have some fun amongst all the hardships,"

Pulling away Harry then went over to Sirius, "Well what can I say, a part from I'm sorry I dragged you into Department of Mysteries,"

"That wasn't your fault never blame yourself Harry. Remember I love you and tell Moony I said hi,"

"I will, I love you," replied Harry pulling away he went over to Sykes lat.

"It has a great honour to train you Harry Potter,"

"Don't say it was an honour Sykes," replied Harry, "I will miss you just as much as I'll miss mum, dad, and Sirius. I couldn't have done anything without you so it is I who has the honour,"

"Very well. You look after your self and give Tom a good kick from me," responded Sykes.

"I will do," answered Harry pulling away and facing the room he carried on, "Thank you all of you I will miss all of you, I will never forget you."

With that said the light returned and in a flash of bright green and golden light Harry had vanished.
