Chapter 5: Spellcasters and Sorcerers
"Aw Aerial! It was just a bit of fun." Yuri wined.
"Yea, Yea, Yea..." Aerial said, and then looked up at Dumbledore.
"Ah, yes I almost forgot. I see you and Yuri have met" Dumbledore said looking at Remus. "Well, Remus this Aerial Claude."
Remus reached out and shook Aerial's hand. "Nice to meet you." Remus said.
"Remus, Aerial is going to be our new Defense against the Dark Arts professor." Dumbledore said.
"Good Luck then." Remus told Aerial. "That job is jinxed if you didn't know."
"Now, Now Remus, I have full confidence in Aerial" Dumbledore said.
"Well then, are we going to go?" Yuri asked.
"What do you mean us? I am going. You're staying here." Aerial said firmly...
"Dame Desu Aerial! I'm not staying here by myself for a whole year! That's so not fair!" Yuri complained. Crossing her arms as if she didn't approve of Aerial's decision.
"No Yuri! All you do is cause trouble! This is serious." Aerial argued.
"Wait, Harry's wand doesn't work against Voldemort's right." Remus said.
"What are you getting at Remus-San?" Yuri asked, still upset.
"Well, it would be good if Harry learned some physical techniques." Remus replied. Yuri's eye beamed.
"Oh! I can teach him! Onegai Aerial-Chan... Albus could help us seal the gate. And we're the only ones that can get in here anyway!" Yuri begged.
"Aiya, fine Yuri... You can come. But you're going to have to pose as a student." Aerial responded dully.
"YAY! Oh Arigato gozaimasu Aerial! You're the best." Yuri said flinging her arms around Aerial. She bowed to Remus and Dumbledore who were both laughing and ran off into another room.
"The one time I have the chance to get rid of her, and I get stuck with her again." Aerial said, laughing at the same time.
"That's the first time I've ever seen you laugh Aerial" Dumbledore added.
"I try not to laugh in front of Yuri." Aerial replied, smiling. "It might provoke her if you know what I mean"
"Ah well, we best be going. Remus if you'll wait here with Yuri. Yuri will bring you, Aerial and I must go sort out a few matters." Dumbledore said, placing his hand on Aerial's shoulder, and they were gone.
Dumbledore led Aerial up the flight of stairs to where Harry was. Dumbledore walked over and waved his wand at Harry. Harry sat up as Aerial walked over, placing her left hand on her forehead, and her right hand on Harry's forehead. She chanted something in a different language, and stepped back.
"This should buy us some time then, all though it was an accident." Aerial said.
"What was an accident? And who is the shrimp?" A peppy voice called from behind them. Yuri was coming up the stairs followed by Remus.
"Aiya, nothing Yuri, you were messing around when it happened anyway!" Aerial said, beginning to lose her temper.
"Why is everything my fault!?" Yuri yelled.
"Because! You don't know how to take anything seriously!" Aerial yelled back, Dumbledore stepped in and separated the two.
"Can somebody explain what's going on?!" Harry asked. Staring at the two strangers.
"Oh, Sorry Harry, Everything has been a bit chaotic." Remus said.
"Harry, this is Aerial." Dumbledore told Harry. "And her mischievous friend Yuri, who will be joining you in your classes."
"How old are you Yuri?" Harry asked.
"I'll be 22 next month" Yuri said, in her perky voice.
"Then why are you going to be in 6th year?" Harry replied.
"Because, it was either that, or be stuck back at the sanctuary alone, while Aerial is here playing teacher." Yuri said with boredom in her voice.
"Oh, Well... Are we going to go back to Headquarters then?" Harry asked, looking up at Dumbledore.
"You are going to stay here, along with Remus, Yuri and your Aunt. It's too risky to take you back to Headquarters." Dumbledore explained.
"Why is she staying here?" Harry said he was obviously referring to Petunia by his tone.
"Harry, you don't have to see her at all. But you've got to stay in Hogwarts, you can visit Hagrid, you can even go down to Hogsmeade, as long as Yuri or Remus is with you" Dumbledore told Harry.
"Fine... How much longer until term starts then?" Harry asked.
"Four weeks –"Remus was cut off by Fred and George.
"Sorry Professor but they didn't believe us!" Fred exclaimed.
"I wonder why?" Remus muttered under his breath.
"Who's the chick?" George asked, pointing at Yuri. Yuri obviously took it seriously and slapped George across the face.
"Osakini?! I don't know what chick means in your custom, but in mine, it's very- No! Extremely disrespectful!" Yuri yelled at George, who had tripped over a chair, everybody was laughing at this sight, Fred especially.
"Wait till I tell mum! Someone who can finally knock some sense into him!" Fred said.
"Fred, what exactly did you tell everyone else?" Dumbledore asked.
"Well, I said, that you wanted Harry to stay with Madam Pomfrey. And that he'd be staying here to help Hagrid with some work..." Fred said.
"And what didn't they believe about that?!" Remus asked. Yuri was now bent over George; she had picked up his wand.
"Oy! Albus-Dono, why does everyone carry sticks around with them?" Yuri asked prodding George with the wand.
"Uh, Yuri it isn't to smart to do that..." Fred said.
"Fred, don't worry, Yuri can't use a wand." Dumbledore said.
"Then how does she use Magic, I saw her doing it at the sanctuary" Harry said.
"She uses through inner force. What you saw was an ancient type of magic. In the old days, long before Hogwarts. There were two types of magic. Spellcasting, and the Sorcery, of course there aren't many people who can master the art of Sorcery left now... aside from Yuri and her family and me. I believe Aerial has mastered a great amount also."
"Only because I had too... Sorcery is foolish magic, and I find no use of it..." Aerial said.
"Dame Desu! Sorcery is much better! You don't have to carry that stupid stick around with you!" Yuri argued.
"It's not a stick Yuri!" Aerial argued. "You know what I'm not going to argue with you! Albus, I'm going to go ahead back to the sanctuary... I'll see September First."
Aerial turned and walked out of the room. Yuri stood up and dropped George's wand on him.
"Um, Professor, if Yuri can't use a wand how is she going "blend in"?" Harry asked.
"Just because I don't rely on Spellcasting, doesn't mean I can't mimic it. If I see, how the spell is preformed, and what it looks like, I can mimic it, Oh the power of Sorcery!" Yuri cheered!" Yuri cheered.
"Is it easy to learn then?" Harry asked.
"Learning isn't the question." Yuri said.
"Then what is the question?" Harry replied.
"Harry, you mine as well give up... She is like a centaur... you'll never get a straight answer out of her." Remus said. "Trust me... I tried."
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Very funny... For your information, the only reason I can use Sorcery is because of the advanced bloodline. Same thing with Aerial, her advanced bloodline allows her to be a psychopath..." Yuri grinned. Harry looked as if he were scared.
"Ignore Yuri, Harry. Aerial is a natural more Legimen." Dumbledore said.
"Fred, seeing as George is, 'er not capable at the moment." Dumbledore said. "I need you to go and collect Harry's Aunt from headquarters."
Fred groaned at the task. "How am I going to bring her back?" Fred grinned. "She can't apparate."
"Remus will go with you. You will take the Knight Bus from Headquarters to Hogsmeade." Dumbledore added. Remus and Fred both groaned. And walked out of the room, heading for Hogsmeade so they could apparate.
"Harry, Yuri will be staying in the Gryffindor Girls dormitory. The password to get in is 'Phoenix' all right. If you like you can show here where it is, or you can go down and visit Hagrid, whatever you like. Just don't leave the grounds without Yuri." Dumbledore said.
"Can we go down into Hogsmeade with Hagrid?" Harry asked.
"Of Courses! Oh, and you'll see that all your books and equipment that you need for this year are has been brought up to your room. Yes, you too Yuri, there is also a wand with your belongings." Dumbledore said.
"Thanks Professor." Harry said and walked out the room, he heard Yuri call "Sayonara"; Yuri joined Harry just as he was going down the stairs to the entrance hall.
"Oy! Harry-Kun, What's Hogs-o-meade?" Yuri asked, having a hard time saying Hogsmeade. Harry laughed.
"Its Hogsmeade, leave out the 'o'. And Hogsmeade is the village right outside Hogwarts." Harry explained.
"Oh, who is Hagrid anyway? How do you know your way around this place so well?" Yuri was now asking questions like crazy.
"Whoa, Yuri can you slow down a bit with the questions?" Harry said.
"Oh... I'm sorry. I don't get out much." Yuri said sadly.
"I noticed... Well Hagrid is the groundskeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher, and this is my sixth year here." Harry explained.
They were now walking along the lake; Harry glanced out over the lake and saw the Giant Squid's giant tentacles waving around over the surface. Before Yuri could ask what the tentacles were Harry had explained to her that it was just the Giant Squid. They were now walking by the Womping Willow, Harry remembered in second year when he and Ron had crashed into it while flying to Hogwarts after Dobby had closed the barrier.
They were just about there when Yuri jumped behind Harry.
"What is that?!" Yuri yelled, pointing at a hippogriff that was tied up right outside Hagrid's hut. Harry recognized the hippogriff Immediately as Buckbeak.
"Buckbeak!" Harry called and took off running straight at Hagrid's hut, Hagrid emerged from the hut.
"Who's Buckbean?!" Yuri asked herself.
"Well it's, not a question of learning... It's a question of how strong your will is." Yuri explained. "Once you discover how strong your will is, Sorcery is just as easy as anything else, in your case Spellcasting!"
