The Years Before

Okay, here it is. Second chapter. I got the information from the Demon Diary books. But the Chant is MINE! Ask before borrowing!

Chapter 2 : Learning the Ropes

It had been a year since Eclipse had entered Harry's life. A year of them just getting to know the other's personalities. There was no hurry, as Eclipse so put it.

But when Harry turned six, that's when Eclipse started teaching.

" But I don't want to reign in terror.." Said Harry from his spot on the ground. He and Eclipse were sitting under the tree in the park. Summer was just starting to fade and a chill onto the air.

" YOU WILL REIGN IN TERROR WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! To do otherwise will make a laughing stock of us both!" Shouted the black cat sitting in front of the boy. Eclipse didn't look any older then when he first appeared.

Harry wore his glasses all the time now. Every day he created himself new clothes for the training and changed back into his old cloths the Dursleys gave him. He was wearing a white shirt with jeans that fit him. His shoes were off and next to him. A lunch in a brown bag was next to the shoes.

Eclipse had a passing thought, ' have I said this before?'

Harry sighed and said " what about half terror or something."

The cat sighed and said " let's start the lessons and worry about that later. Now how much Mezraez do you have?"

Harry closed his eyes for a moment and said " about 15."

The cat nodded. " Today you are learning of the various types of magic. First is Spirit Magic. As the title suggests, Spirit Magic describes any magic that involves the Spirit World. Spirits exist in numerous incarnations : fire spirits, wind spirits, terra spirits, etc. There are spirits associated with nature, anger and the mind. Once a spirit is summoned and a contract sealed, it is indissoluble unless : a ) the contract is cancelled, b ) the spirit dies or c ) the summoner dies."

Harry nodded as he finished writing it down in his trusty black notebook.

Eclipse waited until Harry finished writing. When Harry finished he spoke again. " Today we shall learn spirit magic. To summon spirits you must be calm of mind and body. You will summon a Terra Spirit. Try not to summon one too powerful."

Harry nodded and set his book and pen to the side and leaned against the tree to relax. He closed his eyes and started a incantation.

" Spirits of the Spirit World. I have called to summon a Terra Spirit to do my bidding and to test my worth. Send me one who is powerful and listens well."

The earth began to shake lightly and a small spirit popped out of the ground in front of him. The spirit glowed a emerald green. With slanted, narrow black eyes. The spirit wore dirt colored clothing.

Harry opened his eyes and smiled and held his hand out for the fairy. Transparent white wings appeared and the spirit flew to his hand.

" I have a contract to make. Will you do as I say for the today, and go back home after the sun falls?" The spirit tilted her head to the side while thinking. She then nodded and said in a high voice, " okay!"

Harry turned to his cat who was watching. Eclipse said " Impressive, my Lord." Harry smiled and magicked his old clothes back on and they walked out of the park, eating Harry's lunch.

The Ministry of Magic got the Accident Magic paper. The person working there had blue robes with black hair and brown eyes. He had a badge that said ' Telith, Greg."

Greg held the paper up before his eyes. His eyes widened as he read the name. He said to himself, " Headmaster Dumbledore needs to see this. Like all the others."

Greg folded the paper in half and stuck it into an envelope and wrote a quick note.

' Headmaster,

This is the Accident Magic of the Harry Potter. It seems he has been doing a lot of it lately. In this envelope is the list of all the times he has used Magic.

Accidental Magic Watcher Greg Telith.'

Greg stuck the note with the other papers and tied it to a owl and set it off. Greg yawned and sat back down. He looked to the clock and said to himself " just a half an hour left. Then I'm home freeee."

Albus Dumbledore sat at the Head of the table. He and the other Order of the Phoenix members were in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. It was a week before school started. The Order members only took up one table since there was so few of them.

Minerva McGonagall sat next to him. Remus Lupin sat on the other side of Dumbledore. Rubeus Hagrid sat at the end of the table where he fit best. Arther and Molly Weasley sat side by side next to Remus. Filius Flitwick sat next to Arther and Flora Sprout sat next to Flitwick. Andromeda Tonks sat next to McGonagall. Severus Snape sat next to her. Professor Kettleburn sat next to Snape. Mad Eye Moody sat next to Kettleburn. Since they were both mad in the head and they talk to each other.

Albus smiled at them all as everyone ate. War veterans to a war that wouldn't remember them. Albus sighed slightly.

Remus was still having withdrawals from the betrayal. A screech filled the air as a owl dived inside. The owl was a barn owl. It landed in front of Dumbledore. The owl held it's leg out to the Headmaster and waited.

Dumbledore took the letter and the owl flew off. Albus opened the letter and read the note. He took out around 16 papers and he blinked.

" What's that?" Asked Remus.

" It seems that Mister Potter has found some way to do magic." Said Albus.

Snape just sneered. Remus took a few papers and frowned. He said " why would Harry need five healing spells?"

McGonagall said " how about I go check up on the boy tomorrow."

Remus said " I'll go to, I'll just wait for you in a near by park."

Before Dumbledore agreed, Remus and McGonagall had already agreed.
