AN: Sorry for the mistake, Nymphadora's fake name has been added as I was informed it was not written. Enjoy and remember to review.
Chapter 02: Training
"The prophesy refers to young Harry Potter, the one whom Lily named after you when he was born a year ago. But what you don't know is that your parents when your parents got killed you were sent to live with your muggle uncle and aunt, I took you from there as those people hated magic and brought you here 6 years into the past. For you Harry are the son of Lily and James Potter, you are the one mentioned in the prophesy, you are Harry Potter."
After looking at his father strangely Harry asked him, "Dad, you sure you're ok? I think I hurt you more than I thought."
"Nay lad, I assure you it's true. We had the help of the Unspeakables for this; they thought it would be worth it as it would give us longer to train you. And as Nymphadora over there like you are true sorcerers and will at least be magus level power by your majority, a feat very few have managed, they thought it would be good to train you both at the same time and have even changed the birth records so that Nymphadora can join you at Hogwarts in '91 instead of '85 when she is supposed too. Of course they ask for things in return but it's not much compared to the potential gain. First of all, no one must ever know of this outside the department and anyone who has been given permission to know. And as for the training all they ask is that when you go to Hogwarts you act as their spies from within the castle and once you officially graduate you can do whatever you want, but the department hopes you'll join them." Moody explained.
"What's a true sorcerer?" Nymphadora asked Alastor noting that he did not say they were sorcerers but true sorcerers.
"Caught that did you? Good job, Constant Vigilance I always say. The difference between a sorcerer and a true sorcerer is that a sorcerer is nothing but a more powerful wizard that may or may not have a slight control over basic wandless magic. I myself am a high sorcerer, which means I can do most spell wandlessly if needed, but not for long and no advance spells. This type of designation is only about power level, a true sorcerer is a different thing. For one your metamorphmagus ability which most wizards consider to be a blood gift is in true an ability that distinguishes true sorcerers and their complete control over their own bodies. It is for this reason that the name metamorphmagus was created because true sorcerers can't die of either sickness or old age due to the control over their bodies. In truth you only have a natural shape, no true physical age as you can age and un-age yourself at will. Beyond that you can due all magic wandlessly as you are aware of since neither of you has ever used a wand. True sorcerers also always have three animagus forms of which at least one will be magical but all three can be, I believe there have only been two in the department history to have had all three be magical, Merlin who is believed to still be alive somewhere and Godric Gryffindor who is dead. Another sign is that unlike the normal two to three blood gifts normal wizards of old lines have, sorcerers more often than not have most if not all their lines blood gifts." As Alastor finished he looked at them to see if they had any questions.
"So we are basically immortal? And what are blood gifts?" Harry asked while trying to absorb all the information and before Moody could answer Nym asked, "When can we begin animagus training?" this time instead of Mad-Eye answering, it was Andromeda who did.
"You can't die, but you can be killed. In other words, neither old age nor sickness will harm you but you are just as susceptible to the magic as everyone else and even a blade can kill you but it is harder to kill you physically since you can heal your bodies very fast thanks to the metamorphmagus ability. Blood gifts are special powers that have developed within certain bloodlines through time, some are very common and appear in most bloodlines and others are only for direct heirs. That is why marriages are so important in the wizarding world as most blood gifts are kept secret and not shown to non family members unless in a fight. For example, the Blacks are known for their Black Flames, which were in fact what gave the name of Black to the family. But this Blood Gift is the one known to distinguish the Blacks; we have many more that no other family knows about. The Potters are known for Phoenix Healing and Warding. Phoenix Healing is a natural healing ability, which makes the Potters great healers as they don't need spells to heal others and can heal themselves very easily, their tears also have the same healing abilities as those of Phoenixes and all the test done through history have proven them to be the same. As for the Warding ability is the Potters natural affinity to wards. The most important ones known being the Unplotable ward and the Fidelus Charm, those two can only be performed by those of Potter blood, I am sure that there are other wards but those along with other specific Potter Blood Gifts are unknown to those but the Potters themselves. And as for animagus training when your Occlumency and Legilimency improves some more you may begin."
"Harry's already mastered Occlumency, does that count?" Nym asked with a cheeky grin.
"No it does not; Harry is a natural Occlumens because of the Warding Blood Gift. After all it was the Potters who originally came up with Occlumency. So go work on it and when you get at least passable shields then we'll begin your animagus training." Andromeda answered her.
A few days later Harry and Nym where in his room practicing Occlumency once more, as they both wanted Nym to learn it well so they could begin animagus training.
"Nym! That's not the way!" Said an exasperated Harry as he had been trying to do the impossible and have her shield up by the end of the week, "Let me tell you what I'm doing and you try to do something similar. First of all I have this huge fog surrounding my mind, in which are contained my miscellaneous…" he was forced to stop because of Nym's interruption of, "mise- what? Smaller words, I don' read as much as you."
"Well as I was saying in this fog I keep my everyday memories, things such as what I've eaten, fantasy novels I've read, shows I've seen, music. That sort of thing that contains no useful information whatsoever. This mist surround my entire mind, beyond is a huge dome that keeps my thoughts and more private memories hidden as well as my knowledge. Inside this dome I have a huge castle that seems to be empty but hidden in secret rooms behind statues, suits of armor and paintings are books that contain my memory or knowledge, depending on what it is." As he finished trying to explain he saw the confused look on his friend's face and sighed deeply and continued, "Just begin by imagining a wall surrounding your mind."
A few months passed and the beginning of June 1982 came around. By this point Nymphadora's occlumency had improved greatly and while her shield was not very strong they could equal those of someone who had been practicing for close to two years. Harry's could no longer be broken even by the best legilimens in the Unspeakables. It was on this day that one of the Unspeakables by the name of Dole came by to give them a test.
"I want both of you to spar, and depending on how you do we might be adding a few things to your training schedule. Up to level Theta spells only." The man went to one side of the room where he was joined by the Tonks and Moody to watch the two young kids duel.
Harry currently had his hair colored to look like fire, which was greatly helped by its natural messiness, at the roots the hair was a light blue which changed to white, red and orange as it reached the tips. His eyes were colored golden with green cat-like slits in the middle. He was currently standing at close to three and a half feet tall and was wearing black dragon hide boots with enchanted flames moving along the sides. His black sleeveless shirt and pants were similarly decorated.
On the other side Tonks was wearing a green shirt with enchanted letters looking as if they were liquid proclaiming "Potion Explosion" which was one of her favorite bands at the time. She had boots similar to Harry's and black pants on. Her hair was its usual pink spikes and her eyes were an emerald green just like Harry's natural color.
"Ready to be beaten by little ol' me, Har?" Nym asked Harry with the most innocent look in her eyes.
"Only if you try to feed me your cooking Nymphadora." He answered with an impish grin.
He had no idea why the department had such an interest in these two kids, sure they were true sorcerers, but they were just kids and he doubted they could do much. Watching them banter he decided to begin this duel which he doubted would show much but two kids trying to use magic, and maybe a stunner and jelly-legs or two.
"On the count of three begin." He said in a bored tone.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Begin!"
To his complete surprised as soon as the word begin was out of his mouth four more Harrys appeared on his side of the room and began attacking the four extra Nymphadoras on the other side. What followed was a battle of magic and unarmed combat like he had never seen before in his life. Spells were flying from one side to the other at speeds almost unheard of. At least two or three spells per second per each combatant on either side and while he had to admit there was no really complicated magic they were still using magic that most trainee aurors would have problems using. What surprised him most were when two of the fighters stopped and called out loudly "Expecto Patronum!" he was once more surprised when he saw fully corporeal patronii, one a silver stag and the other a golden Gryffin, both of which knocked into one of the human counterparts and sent them flying backwards causing them to disappear in a puff of smoke. By the end of the duel half an hour later a large portion of the room had been destroyed and both kids were on the ground panting with no clear winner.
"Wow, I guess the Head was right. He wants both of you to go to Hogwarts at the end of the moth and take all the O.W.L.s that you are qualified for. You will go as Orion and Cassiopeia Tonks elder twins of Andromeda Tonks, of course you'll have to change your appearance to suit but you should be fine."
AN: Please remember to Review as I would greatly appreciate it.
Reviews: thank you all for the reviews
Firebirdgs –Mundungus? Are you kidding me? The only good thing that could come out of that would be Harry killing Voldemort during the while Philosopher's Stone Episode due to alcohol breath. The reason he does not leave him with his uncle is because there he will be mistreated and the treatment a baby receives at such a young age will affect it for the rest if his or her life.
Athenakitty – he will find out eventually, and as for the Dursley's they might they might not won't really affect much if they do or don't and I don't plan on mentioning them unless a lot of people ask for them to be killed. As for the mischieviousness. "innocent whistling"
Ulkser – thanks for the honest review, as for the length I'll try to leave it at a point that will make it easy to break up, unless I want to b!d and leave a cliff-hanger.
Potterfanforever - this chapter should let you know that there is such a way for that to happen and I had already planned on it (talk about being vague about the vague) as for the training I'll touch parts of it more specifically during time.
ApocSM – arigato gozaimatsu (I hate romangi)
Korrd – it will be eventually…
Potterfan – thanks I thought it would be good as I've always believed that Moody's Paranoia is mostly an act so that he is under-estimated as it would go with him being a great auror and everything.
e – thanks for the review
Musings-of-Apathy – the delights of time travel and you have not seen the last of them evil grin
FroBoy – soon enough?
Tradiferis – it makes me very happy to get your review as I am a big fan of your 'Torn Away: Scenes From A Memory' fic which is one of my favorite H/T fics.
shifterx5 – just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you
cj-cold – in a way mini-Moody. The reason that Moody took Harry will be explained later for now lets say that it's both of the ones you mentioned and yet neither. As for Tonks going to Hogwarts with Harry it was mentioned that the Unspeakables had fixed that so that it would seem perfectly normal. They will be home-schooled until they are sixteen years old which would be '91 when Harry is supposed to enter Hogwarts at which point both will enter as first years with no knowledge of magic, supposedly anyway.
Once more thank you all for the reviews, they are greatly appreciated.
