Chapter 5: First Day Training pt 1

Harry awoke to a loud and extremely obnoxious yelling in his ears. He tried to ignore it and rolled over on his other side, trying to get back to sleep. He had no problem with loud noises, living with the Dursleys he had learned to drown out his uncle and aunt's yelling. The noise continued however, and it took him a few minutes to realize who exactly it was yelling. When he did he sat up straight in bed right away.

"Sirius."

"Wow. That took a while, who knew you could sleep through such a racket?" Sirius said in awe.

"Well. Living with the Dursleys you learn to deal with loud noises." Harry said sheepishly.

Sirius just laughed. "I bet, those no good scum of muggles." He looked quite menacing, but it quickly faded and he became jolly again. "You ready to begin your day of training?"

"I guess." Harry grumbled, not looking forward to his long strenuous training in the least.

"You guess? You've been sleeping for three weeks and all you have to say is you guess?"

"What?" Harry asked, not believing he could have slept for three weeks.

"Oh yeah, right. Eidon put a spell on you and you've been asleep for three weeks here, he wanted you rested and ready. Apparently you haven't been sleeping to well, he realized you had been having nightmares lately and wanted you to be able to catch up on the sleep that you lost. You slept okay right?" Sirius asked Harry like a concerned godfather would.

"Yeah. I slept for three weeks! Did he really have to make it that long? I go back to Hogwarts in only a little bit." Harry asked confused. At that moment Eidon came in and after hearing the whole thing decided to put Harry's worries at rest.

"Yes, you slept for three weeks here. However in the actual world only three days have passed. It is a charm that the guardians and myself created, it was to make sure we had time enough to train and learn all we needed to know to defeat the darkness. I am much older than I look, I ended up casting a spell on myself so I would look like I was supposed to, in actuality I'm roughly six hundred years old, and will most likely not die for quite a long time yet.

"How?" Harry asked becoming even more confused than he already was.

"Easy enough. My relations and kin seemed to have lived around a thousand years old, but alas most of them were murdered and the rest accidents befell them. It is due to the power we receive as well as our blood. In all actuality, we are the last remnants of pure ancients. You'll learn more about that later, for now I think it is time to begin the training."

"If I have to." Harry said groaning, his first thing was muggle fighting, not the first thing he wanted to do.

"Yes you do." Both Eidon and Sirius said at the same time causing Harry to groan again.

"We will be following the actual time in the real world, the classes will be longer however as our time is different, you will get a twenty minute break after every class and then at breakfast, lunch, and dinner you will be able to sleep as the time runs differently here, you should be able to make up the sleep you would normally lose. You also will not need to rest here as you've slept for three weeks here, we were hoping we wouldn't need to have you sleep again for a week until at least Sunday. We will also not tell you the time the lessons end here as this will no doubt cause you to become distracted. We will dismiss you and get you when a lesson begins. You begin with Sirius for the first six, and then I will teach you the last six. You got everything?" Eidon asked Harry and received a nod, so he took that as being able to continue, he directed Sirius. "Good, Sirius take him to the room of requirement to begin training."

"What? There's a room of requirement here too?" Harry asked the more knowledgeable man, as he really doubted his godfather would know.

"What do you mean too?" Eidon asked his interest getting spiked.

"Well, there's one at Hogwarts."

"Really? Who knew? Apparently one of my ancestors took it upon himself to create another one, it was probably one of the ones who married a Gryffindor. That's good news. If Hogwarts is ever attacked, the safest room to be in is the room of requirement. Enough talking, go with Sirius." Eidon finished and went out his room and headed what Harry assumed was downstairs, but for all he knew it could have been up.

"Okay Harry follow me" Sirius beckoned. Harry followed behind a bit slowly, taking in the sights, the only part of the house (or better term would probably have been castle) he had seen was his room, so he was looking forward to seeing more. The hallway he entered was colored with pictures of the strangest creatures he had ever seen, a few resembled the creatures on his wall, but most were completely different species. Two of the pictures caught his interest. The first although not nearly as magnificent as the creatures in his room, held a uniqueness of its own. It was a green and red lizard, it seemed to stare back at him. The picture was one of rage and calm, its yellow-red eyes glared back at him and he watched as fire shot out of the creatures back, it then began to scurry around and another creature of the same type only instead of red-green pure green came out, both of the reptilian creatures seemed to stare at him. Harry looked away and came face-to-face with another lifelike picture of what looked like a giant blue, yellow, and purple colored snake and a blue-white almost phoenix-like bird. There were many more creatures of all shapes and sizes, colors and species. He almost asked Sirius about them, but thought about it and decided to ask Eidon later. He and Sirius finally got to a door. Sirius said something which he could not hear and the door opened. At first glance it appeared to be a broom closet with a bunch of cleaning supplies. Harry watched as Sirius thought about something and then the room seemed to grow and expand until it was literally the size of the lake at Hogwarts. Reason might have been because it was Hogwarts.

"I thought we could start off with something familiar." Sirius said with a smirk. "Will this be okay?"

"How did you-."

"This is a room of requirement, if I wanted I could change it into Voldemort's present headquarters, death eaters and him included. It wouldn't be real of course and if you die in hear it is only about a weeks worth of healing in real life. In this room you are pretty much invincible. The room of requirement at Hogwarts may be able to do this as well. Check it out next time you return to Hogwarts."

"What are we doing? Is it just going to be like fist fighting?"

"Heavens no! We are going to be doing all the majors, martial arts, boxing, fencing, pretty much every type of hand-to-hand combat and sword technique you can think of. We'll start off today though by just exercising, you need to be fit and in shape before we begin the hard stuff." So it was that Sirius made Harry run around the lake too many times for Harry's liking, he was made to due a hundred push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, knee curls, and plenty else, Sirius said that he would do more as he got fit, he would start martial arts within the week. It seemed like forever to Harry, but eventually Sirius said the lesson was over and to head downstairs to breakfast. After breakfast which he enjoyed thoroughly, made by Eidon, the best pancakes he had ever had, he ended up following Sirius to the Potions room. The Potions room was on the third floor down. It seemed to be a dungeon similar to that of the Hogwarts one only much bigger and definitely not as gloomy. It was filled with a shelf of cauldrons, in the back was a huge storage room for just about any ingredient needed, it also looked like there was a small muggle science lab in the left-hand corner. Sirius began a speech very similar to Snape's beginning of the year droll, the first potion Harry was to make was an animagus potion. He said that he would need it for later on during animagus lessons. Harry surprisingly had a good time making the potion and talking with Sirius, before long it was time for a small break. Sirius for all his worth and fame wasn't that good of a teacher in the potions class, although he was highly skilled at potion brewing didn't seem to have in him the makings of a true teacher. When Harry politely told him this he responded with,

"Of course not. I'm a prankster and adventurer through and through, none of the marauders were ever going to be professors. Except for Moony that is, how he got suckered in I'll never know. Your break is almost over we have defense next." Sirius told him. The defense room was back up near the room of requirement. It was quite strange, first of course was the fact that Sirius wanted to practice the dark arts, this caught Harry by surprise.

"Okay Harry for your first defense lesson, I figured it should be the easiest and most needed first. Today you are going to learn to throw off the imperius curse as well as cast it." Sirius said trying not to laugh at Harry whose jaw had dropped.

"What? It thought that was an unforgivable spell. I could get thrown into Azkaban. Besides it is a dark arts, only dark wizards use them."

"No, no. First off this is defense against the dark arts, but to learn the defense against the dark arts we shall also have to learn the dark arts, besides they aren't really dark if you use it for the right reason. I mean does it make you a dark wizard if you cast the imperius curse on someone to stop them from hurting others or themselves. What about a killing curse? If you use it to protect innocents against Death Eaters, and we know that it can be thrown off is it really so dark. Even the cructacious curse can be used for good. The dark arts are called that because they are often used by dark wizards, but they are not really dark, only the way they are used determines if they are truly dark. Let's practice, by the end of today you should be able to throw off and cast the imperius almost perfectly, now let's get started." by the time they were finished he had managed to throw off the imperius and cast it like a pro. Sirius could tell he was still quite worried about using dark arts, but he still tried to learn it with a passion. Eventually it was over and he and Sirius went down for brunch. He was surprised to see Eidon at the table eating as well.

"How has it gone so far?" Eidon asked Harry.

"Not too bad, I actually did okay in potions, not that I could ever do good with Snape hovering by me. I swear he has series issues, can't even get past a childhood grudge." Harry said

"That's Snivellus for you." Sirius said with a mild laugh.

"Yeah. What class do I have next by the way?" Harry asked Sirius.

"None. We can't do the animagus training until your potion sits long enough, it may be a while yet, use the free time to sleep some, one of us will wake you when it's time for your next class." Sirius said to a happy looking Harry.

"Okay, thanks. I'll head up now, see you in a bit. Maybe I can write a letter to my friends." Harry said and got up to go to his room.

"NO!" Eidon said as Harry was beginning to leave. "Under no circumstances are you to let anyone know where we are, nor contact the outside world, we cannot risk your safety. You will see them again. And as for your OWLS I will send someone to get them as well as your supplies, although you can probably find more useful things hear. I know you want to finish study at Hogwarts, but you may not want to, you probably won't even have to go after this training. So do not send any letters, besides, you don't even have an owl." Eidon replied chuckling.

"You mean I don't actually need to go back to Hogwarts?"

"No you do not. I have a feeling though that you will want to. Besides the importance of secrecy is the greatest necessity. If you do want to go back it will probably be a few weeks into the start, I am sorry, but as I've heard from Sirius you will once again miss the sorting. Hope you don't mind too much." Eidon said jovially.

"Nope. Don't mind at all, the previous times I was there have been nothing, but disaster. First year it was Voldemort on the back of the death eaters head, fourth year was the bloody tri tournament, and fifth year was Umbridge, I can honestly say I don't mind one bit."

"Good. Good. Now go on you need some rest before we start the next training." Sirius said and ushered Harry upstairs. Harry didn't know how long it was, but it came all to soon, he was awoken by a pail of water in his face. While Harry went to change growling menacingly Sirius laughed at his godsons discomfort.

"If you're going to wake me up that way all the time, maybe it would be better if I don't sleep." Harry said angrily.

"Sorry. Won't happen that way again." Sirius said and Harry glowered at him catching the added words. "Come on let's test your dueling skills, it is only two rooms away from the room of requirement, and don't mind the smell you get used to it." Sirius added with a slight chuckle. The room was huge and that was an understatement, it was easily twice the size of the Hogwarts grounds, he was beginning to realize just how big this 'house' was. The room contained a jungle, a beach, a city, a normal classroom, a desert, a forest, and a mountainous possibly volcanic region. Harry stared at it in wonder.

"Yes, it is quite magnificent isn't it? For the dueling it will take place in hear and with just a flick of a switch we can call on a few other places and replace the ones here. You never know where a duel will commence and it is better to be prepared for anything. We'll start off with the city first." Sirius explained and then flicked his wand and said a few words that Harry believed to be gibberish and a bunch of muggles appeared. "We will test your dueling skills to keep yourself from getting injured and the other innocent bystanders, there will be six death eaters and myself trying to hunt you down, every now and then a death eater may try to hurt a muggle, try to save them without getting yourself killed. Good luck." Sirius said and placed on his death eater's mask and disappeared, leaving Harry alone in the depiction and almost real surroundings of a city. Harry managed to capture two death eaters before his wand was taken from him by another. The death eater continued to fire spells at him, he dodged a stupefy and tried to kick out at the death eater, it blocked with surprising agility and threw a body binding spell at him, and he went down. He watched as the death eater walked over to him.

"End simulation." The death eaters and muggles vanished, all except for the one in front of him. "You need to be more aware. You ended up hitting six muggles and only three death eaters, then you got your wand stolen by me. I like how you didn't give up and tried to use muggle techniques to try to get the wand back, unfortunately I knew the techniques you were using and the countermoves to them."

"Sirius, what should I do then, should I head to Olivanders and get a new wand?" Harry asked the now undisguised Sirius.

"That may not be such a bad idea. I'll talk to Eidon about it later."

"Wait a moment, how did you use those spells? I didn't see a wand on you?" Harry asked.

"Harry I used wandless magic. You probably have the ability as well, I'll help you master it while you're in this lesson. Now you ready to try it again?" Sirius asked Harry.

"Sure." Harry said with a shrug. So they did it again, and again. Harry managed to get Sirius once only to fall to a non-real death eater who cast the killing curse, thus ending the simulation. He did manage to send a stupefy though wandlessly back at the death eater before he fell. They continued and he had to admit it was pretty fun, the time came when the lesson was over though and Sirius began leading him outside. The outside grounds were possibly more extravagant than the grounds at Hogwarts. It was huge, there was a even a place to play quidittch if he wanted. The grounds were filled with all sorts of different greenhouses. Harry found out that each green house housed different plants and animals, a forest in the back of the grounds reminded him of the Forbidden Forest, but this seemed to be a little lighter.

"Okay Harry, the reason we are out here is because we need to discover what elemental you have, you may have two so let's find out. You'll be doing a bunch of different tests to determine what elemental you have power of, that will probably be tomorrow though." Sirius said sounding a bit too exited for Harry's liking.

"Do you have one?" Harry asked his godfather, who nodded.

"My elemental is actually the same as what I believe one of yours is. It's fire, but I do have a small hold of lightning and wind as well."

"How many do you think I have, and what ones?"

"My guess is fire, after all you have inherited Lily's fiery temper. You also probably have slight ability of power of wind, if you have anything else you will be one of the only three people to ever have more than two main elements."

"Why do you think I have power over wind?" Harry asked interest getting spiked.

"Remember the one quidittch game I saw?" he watched as Harry nodded before continuing. "I didn't know it at the time, but it seemed as if you manipulated the wind when you were flying, especially the time when you escaped the dementors, they had a very hard time trying to get you. Part of it had to do with skill, but some of it was the manipulation of the wind around you. Eidon will have to help you if you have any different element."

"What elements does he have?"

"Ice, Water, Earth, and Lightning."

"He has four?"

"No he has five. He still hasn't told me what the fifth one is though. Okay I need you to concentrate on all your hate or all your love. When you have chosen one, try to imagine roaring flames all around you, and if you used hate imagine Voldemort right in front of you, if you used love try to imagine whoever you are in love with. I chose hate, hate of Pettigrew and hate of Voldemort, watch what I can do." Sirius then shut his eyes, and when he reopened them his eyes held a flame in them, Harry could see the flame and watched as Sirius slowly began to summon a red-orange ball in his hands, it took him a moment to realize that it wasn't just a ball, but a fireball, which began growing larger, slowly though Sirius shut his eyes and the ball of flame disappeared and his eyes were no longer red, but the grey they always were.

"How?" Harry sputtered.

"Emotion. Man's greatest strength and weakness, now I want you to try. What did you choose?" Sirius asked amused as his godsons face turned red.

"Love." Harry replied meekly.

"Ah, yes. Who did you choose? Wait never mind, I know who you chose, the Weasleys or was it just one in particular, a certain red-headed female youngest of seven?" Sirius said, trying not to laugh as Harry's face turned even redder. "Okay I want you to concentrate on the love you feel for the Weasleys as a whole, or just one if you like. Imagine the lengths you would go to, to rescue them, if they ever fell into Voldemort's clutches. This is a combination of love and hate, but I believe it will work better for you than just one."

Harry shut his eyes and concentrated on the Weasley family, he remembered back to how Mrs. Weasley was so motherly to him, the first time he could ever remember something like that being so. He looked back and remembered Mr. Weasley and his strange fondness for plugs and muggle objects. He remembered Ron, and the first time he met him upon the train, sharing sweets with him, his now best friend. He remembered Fred and George the looks on their faces when he gave them his winnings from the tri-wizard tournament, the ever lovable pranksters. He remembered Charlie from that night so many years ago where they said goodbye to little Norbert. He remembered Bill who taught him some of the more jolly things of life, like table fighting at the burrow. He remembered Percy, before his bigheadedness where he first met him that first year. Then he remembered Ginny, the girl on the platform at the very beginning, the Ginny of the Chamber who was changed from then on, Ginny who helped him in the DOM, fighting for him, stubborn to not stay at Hogwarts like he told her. Her beautiful bright brown eyes and flaming red hair. Slowly though the images began to fade and Voldemort appeared laughing his red eyes gleamed in the ever shaping darkness. Harry watched as the Weasleys one by one appeared before him, they were killed in front of him, as Harry's Voldemort reached Ron and Ginny, Harry let out a loud yell.

"NO!" Harry's eyes snapped open and were most brilliant fiery red Sirius had ever seen. Harry could feel his body warming up and a slight tingling in his hand announced the arrival of the beginnings of a small fireball. Just as Harry looked down, it vanished and his eyes resumed their normal emerald green look, and he began to feel normal again.

"Wow. Not bad kiddo. You are definitely one of the fire elementals, as much as I would like to continue our time together though, it took you the whole lesson to do that, and the first time too. It took me much longer too create a fireball, and learn to power my emotions. I'll see you tomorrow, Eidon should be here soon, he'll teach you the much needed subjects, also once animagus is finished we will begin metamorphmagus in that time slot. Good job Harry." Sirius said and sounded impressed, just at the moment Eidon came in.

"It's time for my lessons now, I saw what you did, quite a job well done. But we don't have time for that, it's my turn to teach and the material you learn from me will help you greatly on your road to defeat Voldemort." Eidon said to Harry and he turned around and whispered to himself. "I only hope it will be enough to defeat the core." Eidon began walking away with Harry entail, heading for the next class. It was in this next class that Harry would meet his new lifelong companions.

A/N: Well there it is. I hope you enjoyed, the next six classes are the new ones and just who are these new lifelong companions Harry will meet? Next chapter will tell, so I hope you continue to read and review. I will most likely fast forward to about a week before school would start in the chapter after the next, so I hope you don't mind, it will be a diagon alley chapter. Harry will meet a member of the guardians/royal guards pretty soon, anyone like to take any guesses on who? Anyway I hope you read and review and have fun reading this story.
