From Chapter 3:

As Harry began to memorize this spell, he realized he could at least memorize a spell a day for the summer vacation and be off to a good start. Thus being extremely exhausted mentally and physically, Harry laid down to sleep. Hoping to find yet another day for dreamless sleep, Harry thought of nothing.

Harry soon found himself waking up the next morning with the sun shining into his eyes. He looked outside and marveled at the wonderful weather that was bestowed on this day. Perfect weather he thought, but then Harry realized that today would be his first day off since he arrived home from Hogwarts. It was decided that the day after a football game as well as the flower garden competition would entail that Harry could rest and do whatever he wanted to. Thus Harry found himself with a perfect day to exploit his new summer textbooks and schedule. Harry quickly dressed and appeared downstairs to make breakfast. On the table, Harry soon found a note addressed to him from his aunt and uncle describing how they would be gone for the day.

In our glory of winning the prized garden contest, we have been invited to become members of the esteemed Royal British Country Club. Their main office is located in London; therefore, we will be gone the whole day to enjoy their hospitality. Don't expect us to get back until late tonight. There are frozen dinners as well as other things that you can cook for yourself.

Your relatives

Wow, a whole day without the Dursley's. Could this day get even better? If so, then bring it on! Let's see what I have to do today. I'll probably get yelled at if I don't do some sort of chore today, so I think I'll do something small like wash Dudley's car. Besides, it's beautiful weather outside and I probably do need the tan. Hah, a tan, I wonder if spending too much time with Olivia, Karen, and the guys. They're always talking about how great a tan would look on me and how by the end of summer I'll have girls drooling all over me. I really doubt that, especially when every single guy on our team is already like that. Maybe it's time for me to fit in? Anyways, for my physical work out, I should wash the car and perhaps run a few laps around the neighborhood. Now to use all my books that I received, most likely I'll have to exercise sometime in the afternoon, so I'll look through the NEWT level book for Aurors in the morning. Then after exercising, I should crack down on learning Occlumency and some Animagi training. Oh, how I loathe Snape! What a better way to get back at him by learning Occlumency AND becoming an animagus like my dad. Revenge is sweet!

As Harry thought about these things, he walked upstairs after finishing breakfast to start to crack down on his studying. He didn't want to turn out like Hermione although she was very intelligent through her studying. No, it was the fact that you had to have a sound base of facts and knowledge if you wanted be like either Dumbledore or Voldemort. Simple spells like stupefy and expelliarmus weren't cut out to truly fight against Voldemort and Death Eaters. With this in mind Harry drew his book, Auror NEWTS: Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Charms, and Transfiguration, out onto his desk and he began reading through the introduction.

The NEWTS required to be accepted into the Auror Training Program include the following subjects and their grade requirement: Defense Against the Dark Arts –Exceeds Expectations or better, Potions –Exceeds Expectations or better, Charms –Exceeds Expectations or better, and Transfiguration –Exceeds Expectations or better. The value of achieving high scores on these subjects can be seen in the following pages. The book will begin with the basics of each subject and will steadily progress into the advanced area of each subject.

Defense Against the Dark Arts may seem quite obvious to the ordinary mind why it would be needed to be a good Auror. However, this subject is greatly misunderstood as it is not just knowing spells or just dueling, To truly learn Defense, you must understand the nature of spells, how to use the spells, recognizing the opponent's spell, any Dark Creatures that are attacking, as well as any type of strategy to escape or fight. In the successive chapters you will learn new spells and a lot of new information; however, the best way to learn Defense is to practice and nothing is better than real life experience. We, as the authors of the book, do not wish for you to go out and challenge people to duels or go out and seek Death Eaters or You-Know-Who, but if the situation arises, use what information you have learned and put it to use.

Potions, the subtle and fine art of brewing, is extremely vital to being an Auror. As frequent undercover jobs are assigned, disguises are a necessity, recognizing any drug or lethal drink is vital, and healing or improving the health of an Auror is quintessential. With Potions, you can improve your senses, speed, and physical being, you can recognize and make poisons, and you can brew potions that will save your life and heal your injuries. Thus, truly knowing potions and their ingredients will be discussed in the book.

Charms and Transfiguration roughly fall under the usefulness of spells in battle as most of Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions fall under the broad term of Defense and what it takes to be an Auror. The skill of Charms and Transfiguration is totally dependent on how you view the situation and your creativity in using the spells. Whether transfiguring your surroundings to become animals to attack your opponent, conjuring objects to block spell attacks, or charming objects to fight for you, the list goes on and on as endless ways to use these subjects in battle. Being an Auror requires an in depth knowledge of Charms and Transfiguration as well as the quick mind to analyze the situation and choose the right spell. Thus although there are a well number of informative spells included, some of the strategic aspects of being an Auror will also be explained. At the end of the book is a written as well as a practical exam that was a previous part of the Auror Acceptance Assessment. If you can score well at the end of the book, then you have sufficiently learned the arts to become an Auror. Good luck.

Man, this is a lot of information that I have to learn. I wonder how Tonks learned all this by the time she became an Auror. I guess 6th and 7th year will be so extremely busy with homework and studying. How am I going to have time for any of it if I still have to deal with stupid Voldie. I guess that's why I'm starting to study in the summer. Right, so the book has roughly divided up each subject into A review of the basics, Intermediate Progression, and Attempting the Advanced. I should most likely get done with the basics and intermediate parts before my birthday. Then after I turn 16, I can start using the magic to back up what I've learned and start attempting the advanced studies like they said. Wait! I can still do potions over the summer anyways, which means I should see if Hedwig or the Order can get my potions supplies to me. Stupid Snape! It all comes back to him and I don't care if he gave me a T for my OWL because I'm going to be an Auror no matter what. Alright now a review of the basics…

As Harry started to review over the basics of Defense, time slowly went past as the sun started move higher and higher into the sky. Harry was working studiously for the first time of his life instead of wasting his summer away because it really mattered. It was truly life or death for him and he certainly didn't want to choose death. Harry sped quickly through the first few chapters of Defense as it wasn't just luck that he had taught the DA as well as fighting and surviving against Voldemort. However, Potions was a totally different matter. He could almost identify with what Snape was saying about how horrible he was at potions. Almost. The reason why Harry had a perplexed look on his face was that he was astounded at the lack of information that he had when he arrived at Hogwarts in his first year. Sure, he bought all of his Potions supplies as well as the textbook, but he didn't know that he was missing out on so much information. Harry quickly realized that most of the Wizarding students already had simple interactions with potions as their families often required kids to brew their own cold potion or other simple potions. Furthermore, the reason why Hermione excelled in a class like this was because she read everything and so she was prepared for whatever Snape could ask of her. All Snape would really do is teach through the mistakes that people made. It was hard enough to concentrate on your potion without having to deal with listening on how the mistakes of the other students would be the actual lecture.

So, Harry progressed through Potions, slowly, but surely and learned all about the basic procedures of potion making as well as the effects of ingredients. Harry soon found himself fascinated at the ingredient list that had to be memorized because the interaction between the ingredients was vital to potion making. Harry was sure that Snape would now never catch him off guard with a question as Harry vowed that he would learn the ingredients of potions and the potions themselves all the way up until past 7th year level. As Harry grew tired of potions because he wasn't seriously going to end up like Snape, he began to work on Charms and Transfiguration. Harry soon remembered how Mr. Ollivander remarked that his mother's wand was fit for Charms while his father's wand was made for Transfiguration. With this enlightening thought, Harry read with determination. Harry found that he had a good enough grasp of the basics for Charms and Transfiguration except that he found a few holes in his knowledge that was soon rectified. He realized that these two subjects mostly focused on a wizard's or witch's level of magic, their power, or skill. He also found out that because his parents were excellent in most of the subjects and the best in these two respective areas, it was somewhat hereditary in the fact that Harry would most likely reach their levels if not surpass them in the future. Thus Harry made good progress through the subjects as Harry nearly finished the basics of Defense of the Dark Arts. He was pretty well off in Charms and Transfiguration while he Potions moved slowly.

Harry soon glanced at his new watch and was surprised that it was time for lunch. Grateful that his morning was well spent improving his chances against Voldemort, Harry went downstairs for a hearty lunch. The next objective that Harry needed to accomplish for this day would be to wash Dudley's mini-cooper and to work out for a little while as there was no football training today. Harry presently found himself in the garage finding a sponge, bucket, and towels, which were Dudley's old cast offs, clothes that he once wore. The sun was high in the sky, beating down on the suburban street, the perfect time to be outdoors. Harry began to rinse the car as it would later help the soap to lather as well as the fact that some of the dirt was initially washed off. Harry worked pretty well in the summer conditions as he took off his shirt to enjoy the coolness of the water on his back. Not to mention the need for a tan, Harry was satisfied with the tranquility of washing a care with nothing to bother him at all. All of a sudden, Harry heard a wolf-whistle, which caused him to spin around to find the whistler as well as to blush a faint pink in the cheeks. Harry soon laughed as he saw the football team driving down Privet Drive.

"HEY BEN WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU'RE DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET!" Keith yelled as Harry noticed that the car was on the wrong side of the road, although it was on the right side. Soon the car stopped in front of Number 4 and the team tumbled out.

"Keith, you know I moved here from America right? I already had my permit and license, which means that I learned to drive on the right side of the road. It's so hilarious to see all of you guys so scared!" said Ben while smirking in the general direction of Harry.

"Looking good, Harry" added Karen as she saw Harry in swimming trunks avoiding her gaze as he was blushing.

"Harry, ole' chap, you really need to get rid of all the blushing! If you're going to be good friends with Karen and the team, you have to learn not to blush. The only reason why Karen's doing this is because the rest of us are all immune to her flirtatious advances," said Keith coming over and slapping his arm on Harry's back.

"Alright, Keith. So you think I'm just doing this because Harry can blush? Who's to say I'm not really interested in a cute guy like Harry?" questioned Karen. So as to prove this, she walked up to Harry and moved in close enough to where Harry could bathe in the wonderful scent of her perfume. "Harry, would you do me the honor of escorting me on a date, oh let's say this Saturday afternoon? Don't worry about how much of a prick Keith is being, we're just going to have fun. Sound alright?"

Harry stood shocked as he was actually being asked out onto a date, by a beautiful girl, who knew nothing of his fame or adventures. Harry shook himself from his stupor and with a hearty grin replied "I'd love to accompany you on a date!" As he winked towards the rest of the team while walking Karen back to the car he also yelled to Keith, "I'll bring her home at a respectable hour, three hours past midnight is fine, don't worry!"

Keith was burning red with embarrassment and anger as he was played magnificently by his sister and Harry. Soon the whole team was laughing as they joined Karen in the car. Ben started the engine as the whole team told Harry to have a good time for the rest of the afternoon especially Karen as she gave Harry a quick kiss on the cheek. Harry was enjoying his nice lifestyle as a teenager as they drove away off into the distance. Summer was undoubtedly more worthwhile and fun when the Dursley's, the Order, and the Wizarding World in general were off minding their own business leaving Harry to himself.

Harry finished washing Dudley's car with ease and soon found himself thinking of ways to exercise or work out. Harry figured that he wasn't in good enough shape or in a daring enough mood to try out Dudley's weights, which Dudley "used" to train him at boxing. Most likely though, the dumbbells and other weight lifting machines merely gathered dust or provided places for Dudley's hidden snacks, toys, or games. Harry found that running, jogging, and the occasional sprinting worked well to keep his body in shape. He soon found a bar that used to hang in his old closet, which wasn't being used. Harry used this advantage and like the one movie that he watched, he used the bar as a pull-up bar which would help in the development of his upper body. Harry soon found that this was a good balance for exercising and soon went to work. After a full hour of exercising, Harry pushed his body to the limit and soon went to take a shower. Harry while in the shower noted that he could probably start on Occlumency and Animagus training for the rest of the day and worry about other things later. Harry soon dried himself off and settled onto his bed with the books Mental Shields: The Basics of Occlumency and The Art of Animagi. Harry figured that he should most likely go through Occlumency after a late dinner as it would help him from his dreams even though he was getting some sort of dreamless sleep. Harry picked up The Art of Animagi and began to read:

Disclaimer: This book is one of the various books on the Adult Wizards List, which means that only adults are meant to buy and read this book. However in the rare case that this book does fall into the hands of someone worthy, that person can also benefit from this book. The Art of "" series is highly coveted as being the most extensive, in-depth, and resourceful series on the Wizarding market. There are exactly three copies of each book in the series which shows the rarity of finding Animagi in the Wizarding world. With this tutorial a normal adult wizard would be able to learn to be an Animagus in less than a year. However, part of the yearlong method requires a minimal amount of time as adult wizards normally need to work, care for families, have a little fun. Therefore, the time to become an Animagus is relative to how much time and effort you put in as well as whether or not you have this tutorial to help you. Furthermore, if you work alone, it sometimes benefits because you do not have to catch up for anyone else.

There are mainly three types of power levels for magical people. The lowest of the three levels is the Squib level, which means that one has barely any magical talent. If you are a squib then you are not able to be an Animagus although there is a chance that you might develop an affinity to the animal that you might become. You will still be able to find the animal that you would turn into if you were a normal wizard. That brings up the next point, 99 of the witches and wizards out there range from below average to an above average power level wizard. There are very, very, and I mean extremely very rare beings that are not in the "normal" power level range. The final and last category of the power level is one of a potentate. This however does not just include normal witches and wizards. Certain examples of a being that is potentate can be seen such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns. These magical creatures are very similar to magical people as they all have certain magical qualities that often serve as wand cores. To be able to become part of a wand core entitles a being to be a potentate. Thus, the simple test is to use several drops of your blood and see if it can be used as a powerful wand core. This wand core will be specific to your needs as it is your blood. The last believed potentate was Merlin, although the rumors could not be sure as he used a staff and not a wand. Now, let's go back to the subject of Animagi. It is not possible to have more than one form; however, the possibility of a magical creature is possible, but extremely rare. You do not have to be a potentate to become a magical creature as the four founders of Hogwarts could turn into their respective house animals, which were all a magical type of that creature. There are several steps to become an Animagi, which can be split into three categories: Preparation, Discovery, and Transforming. The usefulness of being an Animagus is that you do not need a wand and tracking this type of wandless magic is most difficult. Thus to become an Animagus you need not a wand but sheer determination, magical ability, and knowledge.

Part One: Preparation. To become an Animagus, a wizard or witch has to realize everything that comes with being an animal. It is more than the physical aspect of looking like the animal as well as having the qualities of the animal. The wizard or witch has to totally become the animal with its instincts, mind, and behavior. Now it is true that the wizard or witch can control the mind of the animal; therefore, one has to have a sound mind for this to be accomplished. The more complex the mind of the animal, the greater control over one's mind one must have. Thus the extremely difficult and advanced subjects of Legilimency and Occlumency are extremely helpful to becoming an Animagus as the "link" is vital. However, not everyone is a Legilimens or Occlumens; therefore, that will be the last time we will mention that. Now onto preparation for becoming part of the exclusive group of Animagi. Yet again the way to learn to be an Animagus is separated into three distinct parts. The body, the mind, and the spirit components make up a wizard or witch as well as any animal that you might become. One has to analyze the personality of a creature as well as the personality of the wizard or witch. It is true that personalities change over time and that is why the process takes the longest amount of time. Unless you have undergone drastic challenges and tasks throughout life experiencing death, love, happiness, depression, betrayal, friendship, and other feelings of the purest extent, then it is extremely difficult to be in tune with the mind, body, and spirit. Thus we will begin and incorporate a number of tests and examples to test first your body, then your mind, and finally your spirit. There is a complete index of all the animals, magical or nonmagical in the index of this tutorial.

Test One: Physical Needs/Behavior (These simple questions involve the behavior of a physical nature. It is generally accepted that if you fear an experience or are not aware of an experience it is not attune with your animal. Even if you end up enjoying it or become talented in the future, the animal will be set from the initial instance as the animal chooses you not necessarily you choose the animal. As that is overused in various cases, try to view it as faith in that every animal has its uses just as every wizard or witch is unique and uses. Furthermore, most of these choices and questions are based on the fact that you are an adult who has matured.)

Is your physical behavior or body attuned to the Earth, the Sky/Heavens, the water, or something totally separate?

What would be your combination of physical build: Height: (short, medium, tall), Weight (skinny, average, obese), Bone structure (small build, medium build, large build)?

These are the two main physical aspects that seem extremely easy at the beginning, but the hardest part is to finalize your answer and never waver. Note: the actual physical appearances such as hair color, eye color, and skin color do not affect what animal that you might be although the characteristic might carry over. Mull over these two questions for a while as they are the basic questions for all beginners. When you have answered these two questions, focus on how these would be relevant to becoming an animal. As the animal more often chooses the wizard or witch, you need to be aware of what physical behaviors and characteristics you show.

All this information! How did the Marauders ever finish all this? They did complete it within three years, which is most likely longer than the time I have left in my life if I don't get this down. The book does make a lot of good points to why it took my dad so long to complete the transformation. If there's only three books like this in the whole world, then that certainly puts a constraint as most likely becoming an Animagus is taught by teachers who most likely have not used a book themselves. Also, working as a teenager with three other teenagers, my dad most likely goofed off and had fun as they were the best pranksters in their days. Let's see these two questions seem awfully easy and simple and I though this was going to be hard. Obviously the first question is easy, I mean I love flying. It is my passion to live on my Firebolt! The second question is a little harder as I haven't fully matured. I realize that my oppressive relatives most likely kept me in the cupboard far too long so I probably won't grow to be as tall as my dad or Sirius. They were pretty tall so I should most likely aim to be slightly shorter than they were. That leaves me to be about average height for a male, which ranges from 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet 2 inches. I would put myself on the lower range due to my oppressive childhood. I'm not nearly as skinny as I used to be, which means I should turn out to be average if just keep on exercise. I remember that my mum had a small build, which is most likely why I look to be so skinny.

This is so easy! I guess what the book said about experiencing all these life lessons does help in some way. If it weren't for the fact that every time I'm on the ground literally or down to earth figuratively that some horrible thing happens to me either at Hogwarts or at home, then I most likely would not choose the sky/heavens as my choice. Also, it seems as if my body was built at least for some sort of movement through the sky as Quidditch really brings out the aerodynamics of a person's body. I guess I'm also not as optimistic as other kids around my age. I mean they probably think of growing up to be some sort of famous Quidditch player, a famous Auror, working somewhere in the ministry, and other places. For me, I happy and content just being me doing nothing all day, as I've already had such an eventful life. I'm okay with the fact that I'll most likely be average or on the small side, as it doesn't really affect me so much as it does other people. This book really is quite complicated when you think of all the different circumstances that occur in life. It's just that I'm so ready to accept and move on that this finalizes my situation and decision so much quicker. Wow! Look at the time. I'll cook a quick dinner and relax with some Occlumency. I hope it helps a lot more than Snape's lessons. Blimey, thinking about him already gets my blood boiling and head hurting. Alright, I've though enough of that slimy git.

Harry went downstairs to cook some bangers and mash for himself as he felt that a simple dinner would be enough for today. Harry soon realized that he had forgotten about the date with Karen that would be occurring in a few days. Laughing at the newfound memories of his football team, Harry quickly finished his dinner and set back to work in improving his magical prowess. Harry moved into a more comfortable position than while reading about Animagi and picked up Mental Shields: The Basics of Occlumency.

Occlumency is one of the most advanced aspects of magic to learn as the mind of a wizard or witch is so complex with thinking, memories, voluntary, and involuntary reactions. Thus learning Occlumency will take almost no wand waving except maybe to have someone cast Legilimens and more literally staying inside your mind as you become an Occlumens. The name of this book is quite the misnomer as Occlumency has less to do with shields. Rather, there are several categories that affect a wizard's ability to be controlled or affected by other means. There is the simple example of mind magic, which involves Legilimens as well as Occlumens. This type of mind magic is when the caster controls the mind, which allows him or her to view a person's memories. Another variant of seeing the memories is the Imperius curse as one simply controls the will of the other. These spells are often inherent in certain magical creatures as Veelas will control your actions either by inducing sensual or pleasing reactions of overcoming your emotions or will. Another creature that imitates this control that is similar to Occlumency and Legilimency is that of the Dementor. The Dementor feeds off of happiness and may sometimes induce memories of fear, desperation, and horror. Furthermore, the Boggart can also be included in this group as it preys on what a person most fears. If you learn to become an Occlumens, you can often be immune to Dementors, the Imperius curse, Veelas, and Boggarts. Thus we will begin with a definition of how Occlumency works along with Legilimency. Then while describing the process of Occlumency, we will point out the important areas that if prevented, stop the mind reading totally.

A definition: Occlumency is blocking that of a mind attack that is used in Legilimency. In greater detail, a wizard or witch can only attack the mind of another wizard or witch through a magically induced link. If there is no link between one person and another, there is no connection or way of being able to sense memories or emotions. It is true that eye contact is essential to being a Legilimens; however, that is only one sort of connection as other various ones include a magic bond, a curse scar, as well as if someone is leeching of another. Thus being a successful Occlumens often times requires several methods to block a Legilimens attack. An overly used saying to teach Occlumens is to "clear your mind" as although it works, it is too strenuous, complicated, and time-consuming. The best ways to test a skilled Occlumens is not only through a Legilimens attack, but subjugation to the other various similar offenses such as Veelas, Boggarts, Dementors, and the Imperius curse. On a related note, if one is an Animagus, then one might have some experience in controlling the animal's mind, which could aid in controlling your own mind. One of the most common misconceptions is to enclose within your mind a shield that protects your memories and emotions. One has to realize that keeping it within the mind with little or no freedom resolves the fact that one can no longer display these emotions or memories to either a pensieve or to another person. The shields block out any person trying to come in, while it would be a hazard if someone could control you and access your memories yourself. Thus think of Legilimency as well as Occlumency as a hallway between two minds or people with doors at either side. If one can successfully close the door or block out like in Occlumency, then one can successfully fend of an attack due to Legilimency.

However, this is just the simplest way to view how one's memories and emotions can be viewed. The cases to where one is under a curse scar, magical bond, or other type of connection between two people, creates numerous scenarios where it is not one hallway but a labyrinth or a building with successive floors and levels. Simply enough, it is the connection between two people that matters not necessarily how strong the defense of the mind. Now that one has a basic understanding of what Legilimency and Occlumency is, although Occlumency is covered more because of the title, one can begin the simple exercises to become a skilled Occlumens.

Note: If you decide to attempt these exercises, try these before you go to sleep at night or else you will find yourself exhausted and in a long nap for several hours. Occlumency is a straining exercise for the mind and the emotions as you are trying to search in your mind with your magic to find other traces of magic.

Exercise 1: Assessment

This exercise will help you find traces of magic within your mind and body that might include a certain link that would lead to a surrender of control of your body, mind, or emotions.

First you must either lie down or sit in a position of relaxation. This will be similar to the muggle concept of meditation however you must focus and pay attention to every detail. As you get accustomed to the growing darkness of your mind and the back of your eyelids, try to feel the magic that is a part of you. If this is a hard concept it might be better if you could find a magical object such as a snitch, a Wizarding photo, or the best example although extremely rare, something of a magical creature such as an invisibility cloak. Laced within the property of magical items are the constant and unchanging magic of the previous owner. Magic does not simply disappear as it is all around us. It cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred or converted. Thus if you feel the magic in your hands or around you, then you have mastered the first step that you must learn. This is a hard concept that might take several days, but the more magic that is around you, it will help to attune your body and mind to feel the magic. Once you can feel the magic, try imagining what magic would look like in your mind and see if you can feel the magic within your body. Wands contain wand cores that are only amplifiers for a wizard's or witch's magic. The spontaneous wandless magic as a developing child is a manifestation of the inner core of magic that you are born with. Sometimes it is easier for a young witch or wizard to locate his or her source of magic as it is often volatile in accordance with their emotions. The purpose of sensing the magic in and around you is in hope that you can soon discern any type of link that may be coming towards you or that is already connected to your body. Any of these connections could lead to someone controlling your mind, body, or even your soul/spirit. This is often overlooked as only certain spells can reveal any foreign magic that is in your body.

If this has not worked for you yet, do not get discouraged. It took many days for some of the best Occlumens to figure out what their magic looked like. A simple exercise might be to clear your mind, but more importantly think of nothing at all then feel your way to sleep. Feel the relaxation and the tranquility as well as the emptiness that comes with going to sleep. Often if you can do this then you are extremely close to either feeling or seeing your magic. This first exercise is over and it is a good time to try this if you are about to sleep.

Harry closed his book and placed his books that he studied earlier today back onto his desk. Determined to at least finish the last instruction, Harry laid down beneath the covers and relaxed as he could not feel or see the magic. Total relaxation he thought is one of the most important things to completing Occlumency. So Harry like the past few days thought of nothing and the feeling of tranquility and contentedness. Slowly as Harry drifted off to sleep, in his last moment of consciousness he sensed a wide range of colors that danced across the spectrum of light. From blue to red to yellow to green to white and to black, the colors faded and shimmered beautifully before his eyes. This surprise did not wake him up, but with smile on his face, Harry fell asleep.

Authors Notes:

This chapter has a lot of information that most likely the books would not expound upon. I hope you weren't extremely bored because it was interesting enough to write although it did take quite a while.

Confusion Queen: I am truly ecstatic at my first review! I was fully prepared to finish this fanfiction and be amazed at having 0 reviews. I hope you continue to read the following chapters, and who knows, there are three games left of the football season including the championship. So Dean might pop in there! ;D.
