Harry awoke the next morning to the sound of his aunts voice.
"Boy! Get down here! One of your kind is here."
He immediatly got dressed and rushed down stairs. When he entered the kitchen he saw his cousin nervously sitting at the table eating, his uncle almost purple but holding in his rage and his aunt at the stove cooking.
Before he could ask where the visitor was a young man stepped from the corner. He wore a black shirt, black cargo pants, and black boots. His medium length black hair was pulled back and tied with a piece of black string. For an instant Harry thought it was Sirius but there were a few differences that showed he was not. One was the forest green eyes, another was his tan skin, and last there was the scar that ran from right to left in a slash across his face. This was truly a fighter one who had faced evil and stared it in the eye without blinking.
"Harry Potter," his voice was light and he smiled as Harry turned to look at him. "Name's Nick Shadow, I'll be your teacher so to speak." He spoke with a Southern accent and the belief that he feared nothing.
"Oh. Of course, it's a pleasure to meet you," Harry replied.
He eyed the food and the looked to Nick hopefully. The young man let out a bark of laughter and smiled.
"Go ahead and eat, you warrior, one cannot learn on an empty stomach." He grinned still and arched an eyebrow at the quivering Dudley then he conjured a chair, sat, and propped his feet on the table. "So, what's for breakfast, Mrs. D?"
Harry could not help but laugh as he took his seat. Aunt Petunia placed a light breakfast of eggs, bacon, and a biscuit before each of them. When breakfast was done, they stood and wandered up the stairs.
"So, young Potter, shall we begin?" Nick asked.
"Sure," Harry answered.
"Well, I shall be working with you on both physical and magical training. To be able to practice magic we're going to have to go to a place where it cannot be detected. Any questions?"
"Er, where will we be going and how long will we be staying?" He sounded only slightly nervous but he could not help but think how much this young man looked like Sirius.
Nick smiled, "I have a magical trunk in which time moves slower; a minute here will be an hour there. In the trunk magic can not be detected. There's a library, a practice room for magical duels, and one for non-magical duels. Plus there's a forest and a Quidditch pitch. Understand?"
Harry could do nothing but nod. What a trunk! He couldn't wait to start training.
"Good. So we'll start training now." With this he pulled out a trunk, waved his hand over it, and it enlarged to the size of a Hogwarts trunk. "Come, Harry."
The trunk opened to reveal a staircase. They climbed in and the first room they came to was a closet filled with clothes and robes, all black.
"First, you need to get pants, a shirt, boots, and gloves, then a battle robe." He slipped on a pair of fingerless black gloves and one of the black robes. They felt strange as they were cut so you could move freely in them in battle. "Now we're going to go to the library. Yes, I know, but you have to do some reading which shouldn't take long."
After Harry was prepared, they moved into the next room a huge library and a glance at the shelf revealed that everybook was about battle magic, creatures, and muggle fighting techniques.
Nick pulled a few down and sat them infront of Harry who picked one up.
*The Magical Awakening*
"All magical people have the potential for the Awakening, which gives them the full power they were meant to have. Yet very few manage to reach it. The greatest wizard of all time, Merlin, reached his Awakening at a very old age of 500. In nearly a thousand years, there have been only three known Awakenings. Once the Awakening occurs, a wizard or witch releases a power in their body that is very great. So great that the body changes to a form the magic is more comfortable with. With the advanced magical flow, Awakeners harness the power to control one of the Elements, making them Elemental *see page 105, Elementals and their powers.* They also have the power to change into various shapes, the most reported number of shapes for one person was three. The power of an Awakening gives a wizard or witch the capability to learn and use advanced magic that few known have ever been able to use. All in all, the Awakening releases a great and mystifiying power."
He was reading when Nick returned.
"Interesting book, eh?"
Harry nodded but continued reading.
*Advanced battle spells*
Destrot - This spell causes what ever it's aimed at the be destructed. It is useful when charging a keep of some sort. When facing a large army it has been known to be cast into the group to cause confusion. It is meant to be used against large solid objects but when launched into a horde it tends to hit one person and then rebound on those around them.
Reducter - This spell is used to stop the opponent's heart for 30 seconds. It is very useful when trying to escape or trying to get away from one without harming them. The bad effect is when a certain power is added plus another spell, its effects last longer causing a lot of people to be buried alive.
Sintra - This is a advanced form of the body binding. This one also binds the target to the nearest solid object and can be cast by one person on a crowd of people. This spell has been used to calm riots and such, making itself very valuable to the Ministry.
Shatu - This is a spell which makes the user able to blend easily into the the surroundings, almost like a shadow. This spell is very handy in tracking people and being able to hide. While not a major battle spell, it was still a great use in many of the Dark Wars.
When cast by a number of wizards or witches or a few very powerful ones it has been know to make enire armies seem to be shadows, giving them a advantage. It has also been used to surround an area in shadows so as to give an enemy a hard time trying to see.
Lightino - This is an advanced from of the Lumos spell, used to counter the Shatu spell or other darkness-producing spells. Also it can be cast as a flash of bright light causing an enemy to go temporarily blind. A great use against a crowd of rioters, it can also be imployed as a defense or offense. In the Wars of Merlin, it was used to blind the opposite army while the other charged giving them the upper hand.
Harry stood and went over to where the other young man was watching.
"Enjoy your book?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, kinda tired now," replied Harry.
"Let's get something to eat."
"Sure."
They sat down and ate a small lunch of ham and cheese sandwiches and a strange drink that Nick assured Harry was tea. This confused Harry for a moment, but then he realized that it was American tea.
Shortly after eating and a discussion on the things in the book Harry had read about, they heard Petunia call.
"Boy, clean up and get down here! We've got new neighbors and they're coming over, I want you looking your best!"
After a quick change out of the robes and gloves, both of the young men walked downstairs. The neighbors were in the entrance, talking to the Dursleys when Harry saw one of the younger neighbors his stomach twisted.

Evil is not the word. Review if you want to find out who it is. Also I hope it's not too boring to read all that book stuff but it's mostly important.
As always,
The Flame Of Shadow
