The next morning Harry awoke eager to begin his training in Dumbledore's library, and apparently he wasn't the only one.

"Took you long enough mate!" Ron said. Harry looked over to the clock to find it was only 6:30 in the morning.

"We've been waiting for you to wake up for ages!" Syrus chimed in, aching to start learning magic. As everything came into focus, Harry noticed that Luke was waiting as well as Ginny and Hermione.

After a few seconds of confusion Harry was urged out of bed towards the door. As the group made their way towards the special library they all whispered quietly in excitement, and after a few minutes and stair cases later, they were there, in Hermione's fantasy world, a room containing what had to be over a thousand books.

"Bloody hell," Ron muttered, looking at the vast array of books. "Well, let's get started then," Hermione said enthusiastically.

"We should all decide on a subject to specialize on today." She decided firmly.

"Neville, you read up on healing" Neville nodded and set off to begin what everyone knew would be a long day.

"Harry, you look around for books on illusion spells, actually, you and Ron should work on that together," Harry and Ron grinned and began their search for any books on illusion spells.

"Syrus, since you're new to magic, you should just stick with a few books that are not as complicating for us so you can get the basics of magic, ok?" Syrus understood and accepted a few first, second and third year books from Hermione, and found himself a seat at a nearby table.

"Ginny, you and I will work on Legilmency and Occulemency, and Luke, would you like to learn a bit of wandless magic?" He nodded eagerly walked off in to the large library.

"Uh, Hermione, how do we find the right books?" Ron asked timidly. Hermione shook her head with mild disappointment and whispered a simple book organizing spell Madam Pince had shown her. The second the spell left her lips the library came alive as all the books began flying in to the air and onto the shelves with others of the same subject.

"Now when you come across the section of books your looking for, mark it some how so we can tell which books are where, now get to work." Hermione stated firmly and with that they were back to work.

Illusion Basics

The art of Illusion magic is a rarely used, yet powerful weapon. Few use this in an actual duel due to the fact that it requires much power and concentration to hold some one under a strong illusion. The most basic of Illusion spells makes the recipient unable to see any other people for 30 seconds at most. The incantation is 'Personas Temptos'

"Well, it seems we've got our work cut out for us doesn't it?" Harry stated lightly as Ron and he began practicing the wand movement and incantation.

Wandless Magic

Wandless magic can only be done by a very few people, and it takes years to be able to cast powerful hexes and curses with out a wand, its most common use is healing only because it is the easiest. Wandless magic, much like charms such as the Patronus charm, rely on emotion. The reason healing is so easily done with out wand is because when a person is injured, a Medi-witch or wizard feel the need to help the person, and are able to draw on that emotion to heal. With normal curses though, you must use any feeling you feel important to you, the more emotion, the more power behind the curse, also, the more difficult the curse is, the more emotion needed.

Luke felt he had enough to start out with and decided to try a Stunning spell first.

Legilmency, Exposure to the Mind

Legilmency can be a most effective weapon in several situations. Expert Legilemens are able to see what spell their opponent intends to use next in a duel and then counter with ease. But before you can use this power in a battle situation, you must learn to look through the fabrics of the mind and find the information you need. The skill of Legilmency is like a muscle, one must strengthen it before trying to enter the mind of an Occlumens, and the only way to strengthen this muscle is to train with an Occlumens of equal or more experience. Hermione continued to read her book while across the table,
Ginny read hers.

Occlumency, Shielding of the Thoughts and Memory

This is a talent grasped by very few, but if one is devoted enough, they would have the ability to make their mind impenetrable to all who would try and attack it and gain control of the attackers mind.. To begin training as an Occlumens, one must compartmentalize their mind in to different layers, almost like a library. On the outer layers, put all memories trivial and unimportant memories that you would care if anyone knew such as playing games and what not. Below this layer and so on the memories with each layer become more important and guarded than the rest. The purpose of this is so if the attacker breaks through your shield, you are able to try and force it back up while the attacker sifts through the more meaningless stages. It takes absolute concentration to organize your memories and also requires a Legilemens to train with to strengthen your shields. Ginny continued on in her book with interest.

For hours they all studied and looked through books upon booksuntil Hermione decided it was a good time to stop.

"Well, I think we've made a bit of progress for today." She said feeling accomplished.

"Bloody hell Hermione, what time is it?" Ron said, eyes aching from reading.

"It is," Hermione stopped.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"My watch must be wrong; it says it is only 6:34 in the morning." She whispered in confusion. They all exchanged confused looks and decided to talk it over after some sleep.

As the stepped out side the library, they all felt completely rejuvenated.

"We should ask Dumbledore about this, this is really weird." Harry suggested, and they all agreed.

"So, how much did you get through today Syrus?" Neville asked knowing he was still new to magic.

"I got through the first and second year books pretty well and able to cast all the spells to a certain degree. Right now I just want to learn the spells, now I'm just going to try and make them stronger, you know what I mean?" He explained. Everyone was impressed by how much Syrus had finished.

"Does anyone know Dumbledore's password?" Harry remembered when they reached the gargoyles.

"It's skiving snackboxes, he told me when I got here if I needed to see him don't hesitate to come to his office." Luke informed them, and with that, they ascended upon the steps to Dumbledore's office, where they found him speaking with one of his portraits.

"Hello everyone, how can I help you?" he inquired with his gentle, grandfatherly tone.

"Um, professor, we were using your library and," Harry began.

"Say no more Harry, you want to know why no time has passed and why you don't feel as though you had spent several hours training. I found this library soon after becoming head master, it is known as the 'Library of the Founders' and also the 'Library of Forever Youth'.

It was created soon after Salazar Slytherin by Godric Gryffindor. Gryffindor was afraid that he didn't have enough time to train to due battle with his new enemy and that Salazar's dark power over whelmed Gryffindor's own pure magic, so Rowena Ravenclaw gave him the idea of creating this library that would put a leash on time and while someone was in side, not a second would pass outside." Dumbledore explained sagely.

"You all did a very good job today, I stepped in side to find a certain book and found you all deep in to your studies, and decided to see how you all were coming along. I believe you spent 6 hours in there, and if you continue at that pace, it would be much to your advantage,

"There's something I need to speak with you all about, as I believe you are all aware, you are all involved in this prophecy, but we are missing one. Do any of you have any suspicions of who the heir of Slytherin could be?" He asked looking at the group that one day may destroy the plague that was Voldemort. They all looked at one another and came up with the same answer; no one had any clue as to whom maybe the heir.

"That's all right, you may go now, and get some breakfast you all look famished." He suggested with a smile.

After breakfast, Ron and Harry went to Sirius and asked for his help with their Animagus training in the Room of Requirement, to which he agreed.

"Ok now, don't be discouraged if you aren't able to change on the first time, it's very difficult, it took your father and I 13 tries each to get it right Harry." Sirius explained.

"Right then, who wants to try first?" he asked with a sly grin. Harry stepped forward and produced his wand.

"Animale transfierro" he said with a bit of a shiver in his voice. Slowly, Harry began taking on the properties of a lion, a mane began forming around his face and he grew hair all over his body. Then, he began to take on the lions body shape, and that's as far as he could get. After that he returned to his normal self.

"Well done Harry! It took your father and I at least 5 times to get our body to imitate the animals. We would be covered in fur and he would grow antlers but we still both stood on two feet, it was quite the sight I'll have you know!" Sirius said laughing about the happier times.

"All right, now Ron, give it a go." Sirius said enthusiastically.

Ron stepped up nervously and did the same as Harry and said the incantation. First came the feathers, then the beak, then his body began to change into that of a phoenixes and then everything came together. Ron had transformed his first time.

"Very good Ron," Sirius said in complete amazement, Ron began to fly around and trilled with excitement. Harry almost fell over with surprise; Ron was now the first phoenix Animagus in the past thousand years at least.

Ron landed with complete grace, so unlike himself, and five minutes later, he was back to his 6 foot red headed self.

"Harry, I did it! I can't believe it, on the first try and all!" The next five minutes were about the same both Harry and Ron celebrating and Sirius looking on remembering how similar he and James acted.
