Harry Potter and The
Dementor's Blade
After Lunch an owl flew into Mrs. Figg's house and landed in front of Harry. Harry picked up the letter and looked at it. Harry could tell from the hand writing it was from Hermione. Harry opened the letter and read it.
Dear Harry,
Harry I hope you are doing ok, and keeping busy with something. Remember Harry that it was not your fault. Sirius did the same thing you tried to do for him. I think the Dursley's will be treating you better, now since you more in likely can do magic too. A couple days ago I got a letter from the ministry saying I could use magic. Ron also told me he received a similar letter.
Speaking of Ron he has been acting like a prat lately. He is trying to tell me who I can or can't go out with. I just can't believe the nervure of him.
Well anyway I hope you have a good summer.
Love Hermione
Harry put the letter in his pocket to reply to later. Remus stayed and talked with Harry until it was time for Harry's next lesson with Professor Flitwick. Right at two a clock Professor Flitwick appeared in the basement. Flitwick squeaked "How have you been doing Potter? Are you ready for today's lesson?" Harry said "I am ready now." Flitwick said "Good, today I am going to start teaching you how to cast spell silently. There are two factors to casting spells silently. One is focusing on what you want to happen. The second is to will your magic to do what ever your goal is. So let's think about the spell Lumos. You would focus on picturing a light at the tip of your wand. Then you would will as much magic needed to complete the spell or charm. Why don't you give it a try now Mr. Potter and lets see what you get."
Harry thought about a light appearing at the tip of his wand, but nothing happen. Harry tried flicking the wand but to no avail nothing happen. Flitwick said "That is ok Potter this is very hard type of magic to learn. Let's try a charm that uses nothing but peer will. This might help you out later when you try silent casting again. The Charm I am going to teach you is going to be fun for you. Mr. Potter you are going to love it since you love flying so much. The charm is simple to cast point your wand at your self and say the incantations "animus volo". Once that is done just will your self in the air. If you want to fly across the room you would have to first will your self in the air, then will your self across the room and finally will you self to land. Come on Potter give it a try.
Harry took out his wand pointed it at him self and said "animus volo" Harry thought about how nice it would be to be in the air but nothing happened. Flitwick said "You have to want to fly; you have to force your self up in the air. Ok try again." Harry with all his will jumped up in the air and found him self floating. Flitwick squeaked with Happiness "bravo Harry good job, now try flying around the room now." Harry thought about flying across the room wishing it to happen. The next thing Harry knew he was flying around the room.
Harry started flying in circles around the room doing flips and what not in the air. Harry loved every second of it, Harry was in his element. He wished he was out side so he could just fly for miles and miles. Flitwick said "Mr. Potter I hate to do this to you but you need to come down now." Harry landed on the ground next to Professor Flitwick. Then Harry notice the room was now five times bigger then before. Flitwick said "I will leave the room this size so you can play around later. To remove the flying charm just point you're wand at your self and say "animus volo" again.
Harry pulled out his wand and muttered the charm. Flitwick said "Good, now then since you now have a better idea of what will is, let's try silent casting again of the Lumos spell. Harry again took out his wand and thought about a ball of light forming at the tip of the wand. A small bit of light showed at the tip for about four seconds then faded to nothing. Professor Flitwick said "Good job you are going to need to put more of your self into wanting your wand to light up. Let's try again Potter."
It went like this for three hours strait. By the end of the lesson Harry was able to light up the tip of his wand for about ten minutes before it died out. When Flitwick left Harry cast an illusion of the sky on the ceiling and started to fly around having fun until around dinner time. Harry walked back to the Dursley's house. Once there Harry went into the kitchen and sat down and help him self to dinner while being glared at by Uncle Vernon. Once Harry finished his dinner he went upstairs. Once in his room he sealed his room shut and took out Hermione's letter and reread it. After reading Harry went and grabbed some parchment and a quill and wrote.
Dear Hermione,
I hope you are having a good summer. I myself am having one of the best summers that one could have living with the Dursley's. The order has been training me in all kinds of magic. I am learning a lot. I been so busy so I don't have to think about Sirius but there are still times when it all comes flooding back.
Hermione just ignore Ron he just being a prat. He will come around one day.
Hope to see you soon.
Love Harry
Harry called Hedwig over and tied the letter to her leg and Harry asked her "Could you please deliver this to Hermione, and wait at Hermione's until she responds." Hedwig nipped one of Harry fingers and flew out the open window. Harry sat on the floor to do his now nightly meditation. Harry meditated for about an hour and half, and then Harry took out a book and read until he fell asleep. Harry night was riddled with all kind of nightmares.
The next morning Harry was awoken by the alert charm around six thirty in the morning. Harry whipped out his wand and called out who's there, there was no answer. Harry summoned his invisibly cloak and hid himself by the desk. Then the door blew open with a BOOM. Moody came in and said "not bad potter, you hid your self and have your wand out, plus it took me three minutes to break the locking spell. Now get dress you have lessons a little early today." Harry took off the cloak and got dressed and went to Mrs. Figg's place.
Harry walked in to the house to smell food cooking. Moody was sitting in an easy chair. Moody said "I had to test your wards to see if you where following my directions or not. Later on today I will teach you a more powerful locking charm. Oh and Potter for today me and Tonks switched time slots. So you have me after breakfast and Tonks this afternoon." Harry just nodded along.
After breakfast Harry followed Moody down to the basement. Moody said "today you are going to try and extend your magic out. So now Potter sit down and meditate until you can feel your magic, once this happens push it out a few feet and tell me once you have done this." Harry sat down and began to meditate after about twenty minutes Harry could feel his magic. Harry pushed and willed his magic outward. Harry opened his eyes and said "I did it sir I pushed it out about four feet." Moody said "good Potter now close your eyes and then I am going to shoot a few spells past your head. Tell me what it feels like." Harry did as he was told and closed his eyes, then Moody started to shoot different curses and jinxes past Harry's head. Harry could feel the spell moving inside of Harry's magical bubble. He could tell what each spell was. Harry thought it was amazing. Moody stopped and asked "what did you feel Potter?" Harry said "It was the most amazing thing in the world I could feel the spell enter and exit the magic bubble. While the spell was inside of my bubble I knew precisely where the spell was and what it did. There where few a spells I did not know what they where but I could tell what they would do."
Moody said "damn Potter you are powerful aren't you, that is very good Potter. For now on every night I want you to extend your magic field out by a foot or two, By next week I can teach you how to use this ability to your advantage in keeping vigilant and use in duels. Now I going to teach you a powerful locking ward that I want you to use every night. The charms incantation is "Caveo cavere cavi cautum". You say the incantation while thinking about being safe and secure, now Potter this spell is difficult because it is like the Patrouns were you have to use a memory of feeling safe."
Moody conjured up a door in a frame, in the middle of the very large room. Moody said "Potter let's see what you can do with this spell." Harry stood in the middle of the room searching his mind for a time when he felt safe. Harry found a memory of feeling safe when Dumbledore was around. Harry took out his wand pointed it at the door and said "Caveo cavere cavi cautum" the door glowed bright gold for a few seconds. Moody took out his wand said a few words and the door flew open. Moody said "You can do better then that, think of a stronger memory.
Harry racked his mind for a memory when it hit him. He knew he had the right memory this time. Harry again took out his wand pointed it at the door and thought about his parent's helping Harry out in the grave yard and he felt so much safer after his mom appeared. Harry said "Caveo cavere cavi cautum" and then the door glowed bright gold for about ten seconds. Moody was smiling if you could call that a smile even. He took out his wand and tried to break the ward but to no avail.
Moody said "Dumbledore was right you are excellent with emotional magic. I not sure how long it would take me to break this ward but I know it would take me some time to do it. Potter for now on you should cast this spell on both your door and window at night and also the alert charm. Well Potter until next time and with a soft pop Moody was gone, and then Harry walked back up stairs.
Mrs. Figg saw Harry said "Oh Harry you are done with your lesson early I am going to make up some lunch. Harry said "no Mrs. Figg you don't need to do that, I can get lunch at the Dursley's I am already being a burden on you." Mrs. Figg said "That is nonsense I love having you around Harry. I love having people to cook for beside my self. I do not get to make nice meals for just myself, but having you and the others around now. I get to cook all kinds of nice things. Now Harry you can make up some tea and I will get the lunch going."
After a big lunch, Harry walked to the park and sat around thinking. Later Harry went back for his lessons with Tonks. Lesson with Tonks where fun for Harry, Harry could now change his face to look like anther person, but the charm would only last for three hours. After lessons with Tonks, Harry decided to fly around for about a half hour or so until dinner. After dinner Harry went to his room to meditated and later read another book called "Every day magic in a duel" until Harry fell asleep.
