Destiny- The First Year
Chapter 5: Flying lessons and Wandless magic
By the next day, Snape still hadn't figured out how to get rid of the bright pink hair or the sign. Several of the slytherins had tried unsuccessfully to change their own hair back and had ended up in the hospital wing with a variety of funny looking injuries.
Harry headed of to his lessons excitedly as that morning a sign had appeared in the common room announcing that the first year Griffindors were to have flying lessons with the first year slytherins (Ron cursed a lot when he found out they were with the slytherins again).
After getting very dirty in Herbology Harry, Charlie, Ron and Hermione stepped outside into the main courtyard area where the Griffindor and Slytherin first years were to have their first flying lesson.
Harry led the others over to where several battered looking brooms had been laid out ready for them.
They all took their places by a broom and waited anxiously for the lesson to begin. When finally everyone (including the still pink haired slytherins) had arrived the teacher Madam Hooch began the lesson.
"Welcome to your first flying lesson! First of all put your right hand over your broom and say up!"
"Up!" Harry commanded his broom, which flew up into his hand instantaneously.
Harry watched bemused as the other first years tried to get their brooms to rise into their hands. Ron's broom hit him on the nose and Hermione's hadn't move a bit!
Finally, the first years were all mounted and eager to go. Madam Hooch corrected their positions (Harry grinned to Charlie when she informed Malfoy his position was all wrong) and turned to face the students.
"Okay when I blow my whistle kick of from the ground, Hover for a few seconds then lean forwards and come back down!" Madam Hooch commanded
The whistle sounded and Harry was about to kick off when next to him Neville, the boy who had lost his toad, shot upwards uncontrollably.
The class watched open mouthed as Neville zoomed around his face white with terror.
"Come down!" Madam Hooch yelled, "pull up and come back down boy!"
However, Neville obviously had no idea how to stop and was clutching his broom with all his might. Before the broom did one final dive and he flew off landing awkwardly on his arm.
Madam Hooch hurried over muttering something to herself.
"Broken wrist," she muttered to Neville "hospital wing, come on dear."
"None of you are to leave the ground while I take this boy to the hospital wing or you will be out of Hogwarts before you can say Quidditch!" She informed the class before she hurried Neville off to the Hospital wing.
Harry, Charlie and the other Griffindors began to talk quietly, Out of the corner of his eye Harry saw Malfoy bending down quickly to pick something up. Harry turned to look at what he had in his hand. He spotted a little glass ball, a rememberall, Harry knew what it was as Sirius used to have one, Harry himself had accidentally dropped it from fifty feet up off a broomstick onto the roof of Pranksters Palace when he was nine.
Malfoy was examining it closely. He pointed something out to his cronies.
"Look he's even got his name engraved on this! Neville Longbottom! Honestly you'd think he was four!" Malfoy sneered
"Give me that!" Harry commanded Malfoy
"Nah I don't think I will!" Malfoy sneered at Harry "I think I will leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find!"
Harry watched as Malfoy swung his leg over his broom, flew off up into the sky and turned to face the others.
"Scared Potter?" Malfoy sneered
"You wish!" Harry yelled mounting his broom confidently ready for take off.
However, before he could kick off Hermione was at his side.
"You heard what madam hooch said Harry don't do it, think of the points you'd lose for griffindor! And We haven't even learn how to fly yet!" she told him boldly
"I hate to break it to you but some of us don't care and have been flying since we could walk!" Harry snapped back before zooming off after Malfoy.
Harry circled Malfoy in the air. "Give it back!" Harry yelled at Malfoy who just smirked.
"If you want it you'll have to catch it first!" He replied evilly before throwing the Rememberball as far away as possible.
Harry whizzed passed Malfoy and s dived after the rememberall. As he spiralled down after it he reached out his arm and grabbed the ball between his fingers before pulling up sharply inches from the floor.
The Griffindors cheered loudly, the slytherins booed and a shocked McGonagall made her way quickly down to the courtyard.
The Griffindors were still celebrating when McGonagall appeared panting in the courtyard.
"Harry Potter come with me!" she wheezed before turning on her heal and heading up to the entrance.
Harry and Charlie exchanged grim looks and Harry followed McGonagall up to the castle broom in hand.
Harry didn't return until Half way through the griffindor first years last lesson before lunch, history of magic. He took his seat and swivelled round to Face Charlie who was behind him.
"Shes put me on the griffindor Quidditch team!" Harry exclaimed excitedly.
Ron turned to congratulate Harry and Hermione who was sat next to Charlie rolled her eyes and muttered something about rewards for bad behaviour before she continued to scribble down what Professor Binns had just said.
"What position?" Charlie asked eagerly
"Seeker!" Harry grinned "Sirius always said I'd be a seeker like my dad!"
"Cool!" Charlie grinned back
Harry turned to face the front of the class and tried to look like he was paying attention to the lesson while he daydreamed about winning the Quidditch cup for griffindor.
Finally after an exciting morning the bell rang for lunch and Harry, Charlie, Ron and Hermione headed off to lunch. After lunch, the first years had double transfiguration, and finally Charms.
Harry walked with Charlie, Ron and Hermione up towards charms before waving goodbye and heading towards Sirius's office to meet Remus.
Harry pushed the door of the office and walked in cautiously in case this was one of Sirius's jokes. He was met by Remus who was sat in an armchair by the fire flicking through a book. He promptly put his book aside and invited Harry to sit down.
Harry sat down very cautiously still expecting one of Sirius's jokes.
"I suppose you are wondering why you are here!" he asked Harry who nodded.
"Well its nothing to worry about and it isn't one of Sirius's jokes!" he laughed, Harry smiled "we just wanted to test you really to see the boundaries of your magic, so basically whether you can do wandless magic or not!" Remus explained "dump your bag and follow me!"
Harry chucked his bag by the chair he was sat in and followed Remus to Sirius's desk where Remus had placed a feather. Remus sat in the desk chair and Harry faced him.
"Okay I want you to try and make the feather levitate." Remus explained
"How? Should I get my wand?" Harry asked confused
"No don't get your wand the idea is to see whether you have the ability to do wandless magic. The idea is to concentrate really hard on what you want the feather to do and imagine it doing what you want it to do it may be hard at first so it might take a while so be patient!" Remus told Harry calmly.
"Okay!" Harry said determinedly.
Remus watched as Harry concentrated hard on making the feather levitate; however although it was plain to see he was concentrating very hard the feather didn't move at all. After fifteen minutes of silence Harry took his eyes off the feather and slammed his fist on the table angrily.
"I just cant do it!" he complained
"Look again Harry!" Remus grinned
Harry looked at the feather, which was hovering at shoulder level, and his mischievous grin spread over his face.
"I did it!" Harry grinned
"Yup you did!" Remus smiled back as he watched the feather nose dive back to the table.
"Okay!" Remus said "well done Harry that was great we've just got to concentrate on capturing the magic that over flows when you are angry and concentrate it on doing what you want it to do!" "Remus explained "okay then, this lesson is nearly over so you can head off to griffindor tower early. I'll find out when our next lesson it and tell you when I next see you! Oh and ten points to griffindor!" Remus winked as Harry grabbed his bag.
"Thanks!" Harry smiled before heading up to griffindor tower as Remus suggested.
A/n I am so sorry for how long this chapter took to get up. There have been several days when couldn't get on my computer and Ive had loads of coursework and homework! Hopefully the next chapter won't take as long!
Because this chapter took so long here's a bit of the next chapter:
"Friends?" Harry asked
"Friends!" Hermione replied
"Okay then we're all agreed!" Charlie smiled
"MARAUDERS FOREVER!"
I Hope you enjoyed it please review!
