The Mistakes

The next day in Occlumency lessons Dumbledore said, "To be a master at Occlumency you have to know how to perform Legilimens, So that what we are going to be doing now; there are two ways to perform Legilimens one is thought the use of the Legilimens spell. The other is when you use your own mind to pick up on the thoughts of other people. Generally, you learn to do this, when you get good with the Legilimens spell. Now Harry get out your wand and say the incantation Legilimens"

Harry got his wand out, pointed it at Dumbledore, and said "Legilimens", Harry felt like his mind could sense more then normal. However, he could not see anything from Dumbledore mind. Dumbledore said "You did good for your fist try you could feel your surrounding better, that good now I want you to will your self to read my mind, now try again"

Harry again said "Legilimens" but this time he want to see what Dumbledore had hidden in his mind. Harry felt like he had entered Dumbledore mind but could not see or hear anything. Harry let the charm go. Dumbledore said "better you where able to get in, now you need to try to see what going on. This will take some time to learn just like animated dulling. Now you should go to charms now with Severus"

Harry walked down to the dudgeon to the same empty class room Harry had Dark Arts in. Snape said "you are late. Today you will try to learning two type of locking charms. This type of charm requires two things to be successful one is magical power the other is will power. These charms can be broken by some one that has more Will Power and Magical Power. The first charm is a password locking charm. The incantation is Pasuaock and what every the password is. Now try and lock this door."

Harry took his wand out and said "Pasuaock Lilly" while willing some of his magic into the door. Snape said "let see if I can break it." Snape pulled out his wand and said "Engerak" a minute later the door clicked open. Snape said "that was not so good but you did the charm right. The next locking charm should only unlock when you your self tap the door with your own wand. The incantation is Recandap. Now let's see how long it will take me to tear down the locking charm."

Harry took out his wand again this time letting out lots of energy soak in to the door. Harry then said "Recandap" while willing the door never to unlock to any but him, while letting out even more magical power. The door was glowing bright silver, Harry just keep willing more and more energy into the door. Until Snape said "stop" let see if I can break the charm on the door." Snape said "Engerak" but this time Professor Snape did not have the same smug look on his face this.

Snape yelled "Engerak" and willed himself to break the charm he keep willing more and more energy into the door, but the charm was still there. He tried until there was not anther once of magical energy in him self. Snape only stopped when he heard a knock at the door. Harry taped the door with his wand and the door clicked open to reveal Professor Dumbledore.

Dumbledore said "Harry is late for his next lessons so I came down here to see what the problem was." Snape said, "How is it that this brat could make a locking charm that me Severus Snape Hogwarts Potions Master could not break." Dumbledore asked, "Did the door glow silver at all".

Snape said "Yes Potter made it glow for about five minute until I made him stop." Dumbledore said "It would take about ten fully trained wizards to break this charm. Harry is a true sorcerer and has much of what I call wild magic. Harry probably could have added more energy into the door for about three hours before he would run low."

"If he did that it would take two sorcerers to break it or about a hundred trained curse breakers to do the job. Now for Defense against the Dark Arts you two should have a duel. Harry in this duel try using advance wand movement to cast your hex's." Snape and Harry stood ten passes and bowed. Snape fired the first cruse at Harry. Harry simple flicked his wand and silver shield appeared. The cruses did hit the shield then diapered.

Harry flicked his wand and cast a unblock able Accio Snape wand flew out of his hand Harry left hand. Dumbledore said "very good you keep it simple most Death Eaters would rather show off and try and shield them self instead dodging it. Plus the Accio charm is a will charm which means who ever has more will be the winner."

Snape said, "You will write an essay what you did wrong in the duel." Dumbledore said "You will also write what Severus did wrong in the duel. Now let's go to my office for a spot of lunch." Harry followed Dumbledore up to his office and took a seat at the small table they usually had lunch at.

While eating lunch Dumbledore said "in all your charms that you cast, I wand you to add a little of your wild magic to see what happens. Now today we are going to try the Lumos spell Wandless today." Harry said "I what'd to apologies for breaking your things. I was just mad that Sirius died then you hiding the truth from me. I am sorry." Dumbledore said "That all right I did not really need all of those things any way, but Thank you any way. I will not hide the truth from you any more. I made an old mans mistake."

After lunch, Dumbledore cleared a way the mess and started the lesson. "Now" said Dumbledore "you need to clear your mind and picture your magic coming to your handed. Then you picture the magic in your hand lighting up in the palm of your hand." Harry let his magic energy flow to his right hand. Harry pictured his hand lighting up, but all he got was sparks. Dumbledore said, "You are trying to use too much energy for this spell. Lumos does not take much energy; too much, you will just get wild sparks. Now try again with less energy now.

Harry tried again this time his hand light up a little bit. Harry then let the light go and asked, "Why do I fell tired with this spell". Dumbledore said, "That because you are not using would I call wild magic. You are using tame magic; you are going to have to build it up.

"

Two hours later the trio where ready for there second Animagus lesson with professor McGonagall. When they came in McGonagall said 'Hello how are you three doing this after noon. Can you please hand me your research notes regarding your form." After the trio handed in there, homework McGonagall flicked here wand and all of the desk move to the left fare wall. McGonagall said, "Today we are going to start out by tiring to transfigure your hand into a paw or wing tip."

"I have here a picture for each of you to remember. You will try to remember every detail you see, and then you will close your eyes and focus on your hand transfiguring in to what you recall from the picture. This could take some time to get right. Now come and get your picture."

Harry got up to get his picture when McGonagall said, "Harry try clearing your mind before try the transfiguring it will help." Harry sat down and cleared his mind of all thought then he picked up the card and focused on it until he almost fell a sleep. When he put the card down it felt like he just used the focusing charm. Harry could recall every detail perfectly.

Harry closed his eyes and pictured his right hand, then pictured it transforming into a paw slowly. After about ten minutes, he opened his eyes to fine a golden paw with sharp claws. Professor McGonagall said, "Come over here Harry I need to take a picture so you can picture your paw instead of anther Griffins paw." After McGonagall took a few pictures, she said, "Now picture your paw and picture transforming back to you handed."

Harry again cleared his mind and then transforms his hand back. 'Very good" said McGonagall "Let check on the others to see how they are coming along. Ron's hand looked like it handed three feathers sticking out. Hermione's hand looked like a cats paw with no claws. McGonagall said, "You three have made great progress this process is slow, buy you get it someday. It could take three months to three years to learn. Once you get it you will love it trusts me."

After the lessons, Ron said, "we should go out and do some flying." Hermione said, "I have a book I what'd to read while you two go and have some fun." Harry and Ron ran to there rooms to get there brooms. Then they both ran out of the castle taking off into the fresh summer air, they spent two hours just fly around, and play a little one on one Quidditch. After that, Hermione had Ron and Harry do there homework before dinner.
