Harry Potter and The
Dementor's Blade
The next morning Harry woke up when he herd the bedroom door bang open. Harry grabbed his wand and pointed it at the person standing at the door, until he saw it was Tonks and then remembered he had lessons with her at eight a clock today. Harry lowered his wand and said "Sorry Tonks I fell asleep and forgot to set the alarm clock last night." Tonks said "I guess, I can forgive you this time, but did you know it took me ten minutes to break a simple locking charm on your door. You must be very powerful after all Auror's are trained in cruse breaking, old Mad Eye Moody will be happy to hear about this. Now get dressed and let's get a move on I have some cool things to teach you now come on." Tonks repaired the door and walk out.
Harry got dressed and then grabbed his wand and walk down stairs to see Tonks teasing Dudley by changing her hair color. Tonks said "Harry go grab your self a quick bite to eat and come to Mrs. Figg's place." A few minutes later Harry had eaten some toast, and ran out the door to Mrs. Figg's house. Harry knocked on Mrs. Figg's door, a few seconds later Mrs. Figg opened the door and said "Harry dear do come in. You are a bit late. Oh and Harry there is no need for you to knock just walk in, you are always welcome here." Harry said "Thanks and ran down to the basement where Tonks was.
Ones Harry was in the basement Tonks said "Watcher Harry, are you ready now?" Harry said "Yes I am also I am really sorry for over sleeping today. Tonks said "Not a problem it summer after all but you better remember the alarm clock for now on. Now I am here to teach you concealment using different forms of magic, from illusions, charms and potions. For today we are going to be working with illusions, illusions can be used not only to conceal your self, but also the area around you. But there is a problem with most types of illusions they can be detect easily. Illusions are useless on some like Mad Eye Moody with his eye he can see right through them. But nerveless illusions are fun to use. To create an illusion you draw a circle with you wand and say "adumbro" and think of what ever you want others to see, now I want you to try the spell now. Think of not having a scar on your forehead and then do the spell." Harry nodded his head and took out his wand, Harry thought about how it would look and feel to have just a normal forehead with out that damn scar, then Harry said "adumbro" Harry felt a coldness on his forehead for a second.
Tonks said "very good Harry I knew you could do it, illusions are very simple to create. Now I will conjure a mirror so you can see you're self." Tonks took out her wand and gave it a flick and a full size mirror appeared in front of Harry. Harry took a look at him self and saw no scar and smiled. Harry asked "how long does illusions last?" Tonks said "depends on how powerful the wizard is, it can last from a few hours to many many years it just depends."
Tonks gave Harry a list of illusions to create that took a couple of hours to complete. A half hour before twelve a clock Tonks had Harry stop and take down all the illusion and then Tonks said "Harry their is one other type of illusion but you will have to have Dumbledore teach it to you when you get Legilimency down. The Legilimency illusion is harder to detect only an Occlumens could detect it. Now I would have to say are lessons are done for today so I will see you Wednesday morning don't be late." With a pop Tonks was gone.
Harry walked back upstairs to the living room. Mrs. Figg said "oh there you are dear I have made up some lunch for the two of us, come on then sit down and eat." Harry sat down at the dinning table as Mrs. Figg brought out some soup. Mrs. Figg asked "How were your lessons this morning?" Harry answered "They where fun I learn a basic spell to hide my scar so that was a big plus."
After lunch Harry whet for a walk to kill some time. He did not have lessons with Moody until two a clock. Harry walked down to the park. Harry found all the swings where now broken presumably by Dudley's gang. Harry sat down on the grass and watch the clouds fly by, Harry was thinking about the night he and his friends went to the ministry until it was twelve fifty, then Harry walked back to Mrs. Figgs house for his after noon lessons.
Harry walked in the house and head down stairs to wait for Moody to show up. Harry took out his wand knowing Moody would probably attack him as he walked in. A minute later Harry herd a pop. Harry jumped looking for Moody but Harry could not find trace of Mad Eye. A second later Harry found him self in a full body bind.
Moody became visible and said "Potter as you see we have a of lot ground to cover. But I am glad to see you had your wand out because you never know when you are going to be attacked next. For now on you will not use your eyes in my lessons. You will learn how to develop magical sense. So for now on I want you to meditate, while meditating I want you to try and sense what is going on around you where I am, how hot or cold the room is and how it feels, Well what are you waiting around for get a move on.
Harry sat down on the floor and tried to clear his mind like Occlumency. Harry was sitting this way for about twenty minutes until he fell asleep. Moody barked "get up Potter you are not trying to do Occlumency." Harry woke up and said "sorry sir." Moody said "you are not trying to clear your mind like Occlumency, you are trying to feel your own magic and then extend it outward. By extending your magic you will be able to know every thing that is going on around you. Now let's try again. Try to feel your magic like the first time you touched your wand." Harry sat back down and tried to remember how it felt picking up his wand. He remembered the feeling that he had in his stomach the feeling of power. Harry let that feeling wash over him and it relaxed him. He felt totally calm and relaxed.
Moody said "you made the first step today Potter that is very good. I want you to practice this once every night. Now since we have about an hour left of lessons I will show you a new type of ward that will wake you up if any one tries to get in the same room as you. Tonks told me you can cast a very strong locking charm. This will go along with the locking charm perfectly. All you have to do is say the incantation "concutio" and spin around once. The reason why I like this charm is because it covers every inch of the room. Now you try."
Harry took out his wand and said "concutio" while spinning. The room turned silver for about three seconds. Moody said "good job Potter you got it right on the first try. I like that Potter very good, remember when you go to sleep to always seal the room and cast the concutio charm. Now to take down the charm just say "Finite Incantatum" while pointing your wand at the ceiling." Harry pointed his wand at the ceiling said "Finite Incantatum", there was flash of silver. Moody said "Good, when the charm is up you will know if some one tries to breaks in. Now it is time for me to head out remember to practice Potter. With a pop Moody was gone.
Harry went back to the Dursley's and grabbed his dinner and went to his room. Harry spelled the door shut and added the alert charm. Then Harry sat down at his desk and eat. After Harry finished his dinner, Harry magic his plate clean and vanished it back into the kitchen sink. Then Harry sat his alarm clock, and then sat down on the floor to meditate. A few hours later when Harry finally decided to snap out of the trance Harry looked up at the clock and found out that it was nine. Harry decided it was time to call it a night. Harry's night was filled with nightmares of Sirius dieing.
The next morning Harry was woken up by the alarm clock around seven a clock. Harry unsealed the door at went to take a shower, a half hour later Harry was at Mrs. Figgs, and a few minutes after that Remus Apparated in. A warn out looking Remus asked "Good morning, Harry how have you been holding up?" Harry said "I been keeping myself busy so that I don't have to think about Sirius." Remus nodded and said "If you ever need to talk don't hesitate to ask, I will be here for you Harry. Now let's go down stairs and get started." Harry led Remus down to the basement.
Once in the basement Remus said "I have a few spells that will help you in a duel. The charm I and going to teach you is called "caligo arma" or also know as "the fog of war" which will create a fog or mist to help you hide in or use as a means to cover your escape. The Charm is difficult, what you have to do to cast it is think of confusion and say the incantation "caeco calig" and if you did the charm right there should be fog filling up the room. This spell is like a Patrouns where you have to use happy thoughts. So remember think of confusion.
Harry took out his wand and thought about one of Professor McGonagall's lessons which could be very confusing at times. Then Harry said "caligo calig" a small amount of mist came out of his wand making a cloud four feet wide. Remus said "Harry you did very well for your first try. Now try thinking of a more confusing thought. Harry thought back to his first year at Hogwarts at the Halloween feast. Remembering how the great hall was a total mess of people yelling and running every which way. Harry again said "caligo calig" this time a huge cloud formed covering half of the room. Remus smiled and said "That was very very good, well I guess that because you are very good with the Patrouns spell this one came easily to you. Now to get rid of the fog you just say the incantations "acclaro" and the fog will disappear. Now you try and get rid of the fog."
Harry pointed his wand at the mist and said "acclaro" then the smoke just vanished a few seconds later. Remus said "Very well done, we will move on to the next spell which is "balsamum" which makes the floor very sticky, any one that tries to walk over the sticky floor will end up stuck and not able to move. To do the spell you simply flick your wand at the ground and say "balsamum". Now you give it a try."
Harry again took out his wand, gave it a flick and said "balsamum". The floor turned a reddish color. Harry asked "Remus can you move?" Remus tried to walk forward but could not. Remus said "No I can't move you did the spell right. Now to rid of the gum you use the same spell that you used to clear the fog away." Harry flicked his wand and said "acclaro" a second later the floor was no longer red.
The rest of the lesson with Remus went like this, learning new spells that could be used in a duel, now that it was lunch time both Harry and Remus whet up stairs for some lunch.
