Without Another Word

Harry spent the next couple of days hanging out with Ginny and Ron. They spent most their time outside relaxing in the shade, having picnics and flying around the pitch. Hermione had gone to her parents until Harry's birthday, so it was just the three of them.

During breakfast, one morning Mrs. Weasley noticed Harry was rather quiet. "Is everything alright Harry?" she asked him

"Er yeah just hoping I would have heard something from McGonagall by now"

She patted his shoulder "Be patient, you will hear something soon I am sure."

Mr. Weasley spoke up "there is an Order meeting tonight, maybe we will hear from her then."

"Are we coming with you tonight?" Ron asked

Mrs. Weasley stood there biting the corner of her mouth thinking. Harry spoke up "Yeah I would like to speak with Remus anyhow. I promise we wont bother you."

"I don't see why not, after all it is Harry's house" Mr. Weasley said, "What do you think Molly?"

She shot him a look "Yes I am aware of that Arthur, and that reminds me" she was looking at Harry now "Am I to understand you want to move to Grimmauld Place after your birthday?"

"Yes ma'am, as much as I enjoy being here, I think it's time for me to have some responsibilities." Harry decided it was better not to tell her he wanted to move so he could find Voldemort's horcruxes. "And it's not like I will be alone with Remus living there and weekly Order meetings."

"Well, you know I can't stop you, but I want you to know this is your home too, and you can come here whenever you want." She walked back to the sink.

"Thanks" he felt guilty about not telling her what he was planning. However, he knew if he told her, she would try to stop him, and he wasn't going to let anything stand in his way of getting to Voldemort.

Later that evening, after the Orders meeting had ended, Remus headed to the study. Ron, Ginny, and Harry were all in there talking quietly. The three looked up as Remus entered, "Ron, Ginny would you give me a few moments with Harry Please?"



"Sure" Ginny said letting her fingers slide along Harry's arm as she left.

"See ya in a bit Harry" Ron quietly said as he followed Ginny out.

Remus closed the door behind the two as they left. "Good news Harry, The Ministry has approved you to use magic while studying in the presence of either myself, Alastor or Tonks."

"Wonderful" Harry was now smiling "When can we start?"

"I thought you might ask me that" Remus smiled "If you want you can stay here for a while and we can get started."

"So we are starting tonight then?" Harry smiled

"Harry there is more" Remus just stood there smiling.

"Er ok" Harry said, then it hit him what Remus was doing. "Oh I am not reading your mind. I think I have gotten that under control." Harry quickly added.

"Oh ok" Remus was not expecting that. "Well, Ginny and Ron are in talking to Molly and Arthur now; they are going to stay here too if you like, so they can brush up and maybe learn a few things too. The Order has decided it would be foolish to assume they would not be following you. Therefore, everyone decided to make sure that they were prepared. Between you and me Harry Molly is having kittens." Remus chuckled as did Harry.

"That would be great. I would however like to work with you alone for this evening." Harry had stood up and was walking over to the window.

"That will be just fine Harry." Lupin looked at him "something wrong Harry?"

"Nothing wrong, I just have a lot of questions" he kept looking out the window.

"I am not going to pretend I know everything Harry, but if I can answer any I will." Lupin sat down in an armchair by the fire.

Harry continued, "Um well, what do you know about wand less magic professor?"

"Harry, wand less magic can not be done. I have seen wizards strap their wand to their arm and do some spells. However, their wand was on them at the time. Why do you ask me Harry?"

Harry sat there silent for a moment deciding if he should tell Remus what he was about to. Tell him Harry its ok he thought. "I uh well I used magic this morning, at The Burrow but I didn't mean to." Lupin sat there silent so Harry continued. "Here professor hold this" he turned around and walked over to Remus handing him his wand.

Remus' eyes grew larger "Harry, are you telling me you can...?"



Harry cut him off "Yes, at least I think I can. What should I try to do?"

Lupin thought for a moment "how about something easy like Accio."

Harry just sat there looking around the room for something small. "How about a book?"

Remus looked at the shelves, "ok get the purple velvety one"

Harry looked at the book, held out his hand and thought to himself, Accio. The book slowly slid off the shelf and flew into Harry's hand. Harry just looked at Lupin then held the book out and without a spell, he saw in his mind the book returning to it's place on the shelf. After a second, the book flew across the room knocking over several others in the shelf and hit the floor. Harry giggled, "Well the return wasn't so graceful."

Lupin leaned forward in his chair, resting his elbows on his knees and clasped his hands. He shook his head in disbelief staring into the fire. "Never has it been done, never at all" he murmured the color had drained from his face as he sat there in silence.

"Professor?" Harry walked over to him, but Lupin never replied "Professor." Harry said it a bit louder this time.

"Huh? Oh, sorry Harry I just cannot believe it. I don't know what to say."

Harry started to worry "Is that a bad thing."

"No Harry, it's not bad I just can't believe what I just saw you do." Lupin looked up at Harry. I think we are going to need Alastor and Tonks working with us Harry I do not think I can handle this myself. If the powers given to you are what I think they are," Remus hesitated, "then V-Voldemort doesn't stand a chance"

"Excuse me but what do you think they are?" Harry quietly asked

"You said that the spirit gave you a gift from all your dead loved ones right?"

"Yeah Remus, she said I will soon learn of powers neither I nor any other creature has ever had." Harry's knees became weak and he sat on the Persian rug next to Lupin's chair. He could feel his hear racing and he broke out into a sweat. "Great now I am more of a freak than before"

"Harry James Potter" Remus said in a stern upset tone "you are not a freak nor have you ever been a freak. Does Dobby use a wand or say incantations? NO, so stop thinking you are a freak, you have been given a gift Harry. A gift that will end this madness that Voldemort has started. That is enough for now Harry, here is your wand" Remus stood up handing Harry his wand. The two left the study and headed to the kitchen where the Weasley's were.

Mrs. Weasley was sitting next to Ron and Mr. Weasley and Ginny was leaning against the sink sipping some tea, the other Order members had all left. "Harry." Ginny squeaked setting her tea 

down and enveloping Harry in a hug "I am so excited about finally getting some actual training" she broke off the hug but kept her arm around Harry's back.

"I am not going to admit that I think it's a good idea" Mrs. Weasley began "Although, I feel it best of the three of you and Hermione too when she gets back, all are better prepared for what I fear is coming." Her eyes were starting to fill with tears.

"Molly, Arthur I would like a word with you in private if you don't mind" Remus was holding the door open for the Weasley couple.

'Sure Remus, come on Molly" Mr. Weasley said helping her up from the table. "Harry, relax and have some tea we will be right back." The three adults left the room without another word.

The three teenagers sat there for a moment until Ron broke the silence "Harry, are you alright you are looking a little out of sorts mate."

"Harry," Ginny never let him answer, "What was the crash we heard a little while ago?"

Harry told them about what happened while he and Remus were in the study. Ron was looking a bit confused now. Ginny on the other hand was smiling brightly at Harry. "What?" he asked her starting to smile himself.

"Hermione is going to throw a fit" she was giggling now.

"And why is that?" Ron finally spoke.

"Well because Harry can get books without leaving his seat, that will make her so jealous, especially since he wont use them for reading." the three laughed. Harry was actually feeling better, of course he always felt better around Ginny.

Over the next couple of days Harry did not spend much time with his friends, he and Moody would walk to the near by woods where there was more room for Harry to train. Ginny spent her time with Tonks and Ron with Remus. Mrs. Weasley was staying at Grimmauld place to; as she put it, make sure they were eating right. Ron said it was so she could keep an eye on them.

Ginny was getting rather good at deflecting spells and Ron's freezing charm was superb. Harry on the other hand was having trouble concentrating. Moody wouldn't let him use his wand, he told Harry "If you can perform wand less then you need to learn to do without incase you happen to get hit with Expelliarmus" Harry was however getting good at healing his own wounds.

"That's enough Potter! Let's get back." He was holding Harry's wand out, Harry nodded as he slipped the wand into his back pocket.

As the two-started back, there was a rustle in the trees, Moody looked at Harry "I heard it too Professor"

"Get behind me Harry" Moody ordered but Harry didn't listen. "Harry, get behind me"



"Relax Professor" Harry said, "It's only a Death Eater" he could not believe what he had just said. Where did that come from? Why in the name of Merlin would he say such a thing? Just then, there were several pops, as three more death eaters had appeared. Something took over in Harry; He pushed Moody to the ground.

"Oh look its, brave little Harry Potter," one of the Death Eaters hissed. Harry could tell they stumbled upon Harry and Moody by accident. "The Dark Lord will be pleased to see you when we take you to him."

"I am not going anywhere." Harry said boldly "but you four will be happy to learn you are going to Azkaban."

"What's this? Potter has gotten some courage," another one of the cloaked figures added.

The four Death Eaters all raised their wands together. "Last chance Potter we can do this the easy way or the hard way"

"Take you best shot" Harry spat. The four death eaters all started throwing curses, and as if in slow motion, Harry just raised his hand and muttered "Consisto." all the flashes of smoke and light shot in other directions. Harry looked at the shocked death eaters "exceptium!" he shouted as four wands flew out of the Cloaked Figures hands and into his. He dropped the wands and grabbed his throwing four stunning spells one for each of Voldemort's followers. Moody was still lying there shocked and amazed trying to stand. Harry fell to the ground.

"Alastor said he was amazing Ginny." Harry could hear Mrs. Weasley's voice. He was lying in a bed, not remembering much of what had happened. "I think he's coming around"

"What happened?" Harry asked quietly "Where am I?"

"Shh, you need rest Harry." Ginny was stroking his head gently "You are in St. Mungo's. It's all over."

"What happened to The Death Eaters" Harry was trying to sit up "Is moody OK?"

"Relax Harry," Mrs. Weasley was now holding his hand "Alastor is fine he took care of them and they are awaiting trial. You just rest we will talk in the morning." She stood up and started to leave the room "See you in the morning Harry. Ginny wants to stay here with you, and I think her mind is made up. Ginny let him rest. Ronald lets go" Harry had not noticed Ron sitting in the corner.

"I will Mum, see you in the morning"

"Bye Harry" Ron waved

"See ya Ron." It was all Harry could do to talk.



Ginny gently kissed Harry's forehead "get some rest love; I will be here when you wake up."

"Ginny" Harry said quietly

"Yeah"

"Thank you for staying" Harry slipped back off to sleep.

--

"Good morning Harry, how ya feeling?" Alastor Moody hobbled into Harry's room.

"I feel better thanks" he smiled

"Miss Weasley, would you mind if I had a moment alone with Harry?"

Ginny shook her head kissed Harry's cheek and walked out of the room.

"Doesn't want to leave your side, does she?" Moody sat in the chair next to Harry's bed "Harry, what do you remember about last night?"

"I remember fighting the death eaters." Harry sat there for a moment "I am sorry for pushing you to the ground."

"Pay that no mind. Is there anything else?"

Harry continued, "It was like a dream, just well it was in slow motion. I knew exactly what they were all going to do, but before I could think I just reacted. It was as if something took over my actions. And the next thing I know I am in here" Harry motioned his hand.

'Let me tell you what I saw" Moody sat up "well first thing I saw was the ground." He smiled at Harry who looked down. "Then those scumbags started firing curses at us, well you anyhow. Harry I am not going to pretend what I saw next didn't scare the bejesus out of me. You stopped their spells and disarmed all four of them in a blink. From the time they threw their spells until you had subdued all of them was less than two seconds."

Harry just sat there with a blank look on his face.

"Professor, I wasn't doing anything I knew, everything just happened in what seemed like a couple minutes"

"Harry in all my years, I have never seen anything happen so fast. Where did you learn those spells you used?" Moody stood up and started to pace.

'Like I said Professor, I just reacted I don't know what spells I used."



"Well all I can say Harry is if you fight Voldemort like that he hasn't got a chance in hell." Moody stopped pacing, "I will see you later, I need to get back to the ministry. Do me one thing Harry."

"Sure anything"

"Don't ever let what happened 'go to your head' the results next time might not be the same" he left without another word.
