"Son of a bitch, this is what he calls training, I've been running from and dodging his attacks for three days straight now WITHOUT REST" Harry said to himself
"Woah, HEY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME HERE OR WHAT?" Harry shouted as yet another fireball just missed his head.
"Ah whats wrong harry, don't tell me you haven't noticed yet?" Athan replied with a smirk still plastered on his face.
"NOTICED, NOTICED WHAT YOU TRYING TO BLAST MY HEAD OF WITH ALMOST EVERY ATTACK, AND YOUR ENJOYINIG IT." shouted a hysteric Harry.
"Guess not than, well I'll tell you what I have been doing to you than. Well if you even thought about paying attention to anything at all you would have noticed that you have been getting faster and are able to react faster than you were when we began, and yes this training is affecting your physical body as well as your mind, you see I have setup a link with your magic so that as you train in here your magic will shape your body as it would shape if you were doing the same thing outside of your mind and since your mind will be used to circulating blood perfectly through your body you will have stamina no other person has, all because I have kept you running like this for 72 hours straight, your muscles have developed to what you will need them to be when the time comes and you will not have to worry about running out of breath or your limbs getting tired while running toward or away from enemies. So you see what I am doing to you is actually doing. All right and." Athantias said as he threw another fireball at Harry's head "thats enough running. Now we are going to work on occlemency and legilemins, and yes that means a big headache for you and no there will be no resting for the remaining fifty-seven days that we have because you do not need it for your body is already asleep and resting." All through Athantias's speech all Harry could think was 'OH Merlin help me i'm going to go crazy with this guy as a teacher'
2 days later in Harry's mind.
Harry sat with his legs crossed staring into the pure red glowing eyes that he has become accustomed to in the last couple of days, at first Harry had trouble just looking near Athan's eyes but now it was like staring into space.
"Well not bad Harry, not as good as me but I can guarantee that not only can you block all others from your mind, you can easily even enter the mind of any one including the three best occlumens that you know without them even being close to detecting you, of course you will never be able to block me or enter my mind and even if you could you would not want to for it would drive you insane." Declared Athan
"Well now what are you going to teach me great one." Harry replied sarcastically
"Martial arts of course and not just any but all martial art styles which will take 3/4's of the rest of our time here" Athan replied with that smirk of his that never fails to make Harry go pale and of course think 'I still think I'm in hell theres no other reason for him to be so cruel.'
Three minutes later Athan had Harry going through the katas of the first style to get used to it "Good good Harry now keep it up until I tell you to stop" said Athan.
Five hours later "Enough, now for the fun part..." Harry eyed Athan as he trailed of then Harry had to ask "Fun part?" with only the most regret he would ever have as Athan replied "Sparring of course. Now face me and prepare."
As they started Harry found himself propelled to the to the other side of the room or the floor with every attack that he threw.
42 Days later in Harry's mind
Harry throws a right punch only to be dodged, as Athan goes to counter with a close jab at Harry's ribs, Harry redirected the attack with his left hand and goes for for a roundhouse kick followed by a leg sweep and directly after an uppercut only to be dodged each time, Athan fakes a punch aimed at harry's gut and changes to a scissor kick at Harry's chin only to be dodged. Athan stops and holds up a hand to stop the sparing match.
"Very good Harry you seem to pick up on this quite fast and in the last 4 days I have been fighting you with a masters skills and have yet to land a single strike though I have been using my true strength to dodge of course, after all why would I want you to be able to hit me right, any way thats good for muggle martial arts now we will begin on magic of course with everything else I have taught you this is going to be a walk in the park because since you have been using magic ever since you came to this mindscape to make it so your body, muscles and everything else to progress so you can do this stuff when you 'wake up' you have yet to realize just how much your magic has grown through all of this, you will be able to cast the most difficult spells that you had difficulty with before easier than you could cast Lumos before and I'm talking wandlessly of course. Now we are going to start off with the spell you will need to cast as soon as you are back to your reality, the doppleganger spell." Athan said getting ready to tell Harry how he needs to focus his magic to create a doppleganger.
'Finally' Harry thought 'on to the good stuff, I wonder where he wants me to go so badly'
Harry and Athan sat down across from each other and began going through all the magic that harry was about to learn.
As Athan started to explain the complexities of each spell Harry listened with rapt attention trying to get every tiny little bit of information that he could.
Over the next twelve days Harry learned many different spells, spells that he not only never heard of but spells that he thought and was told were not possible to perform.
"Now that we have completed the training, for now anyway, I will take this last day to explain the journey that you must now depart on, it will be long and most likely difficult to undertake is some areas more than others. Now your first destination is a cave in America in it is a being that has not been seen in many many years you must seek it out and undergo its trial I have taught you everything I am allowed to before you go to see him, I can not tell you of the trial and I can not tell you why you must do this all I can tell you is that it is very important that you do this before you go to Hogwarts believe me it will come in handy if you do succeed. After this task you must travel to the south pole and seek out another being there and go through another trial. Next will be a volcano in Fiji and of course you will do the same there but that will be the last being that you will search out in areas that are away from London I will appear again only after you have done these tasks or when you are in desperate need of help or advice, but remember this no matter what I have told you there are secrets that I have that I am just going to love watching you discover at least one of them anyway its going to throw you for a loop I know that for certain." Athan finished with that same infuriating smile that always preceeds a lot of pain physical or mental.
Harry sat there thinking over what he was just told thinking just what could be so difficult with the tasks ahead and than theres that last bit that truly had Harry worried, especially if it was going to be fun for Athan, it never seems to go well when Athan says hes going to have fun doing something.
At the end of the last day Athan and Harry said their goodbyes for the time being, as Harry awoke Athan went to check on his little surprise he had for Harry.
At the Burrow
Ginny was fast asleep in here room, at least thats what it seemed like to everyone else at the burrow, but in reality she was in her mindscape speaking to a being that she had just met as he was explaining to her why she was not only still alive but why she was 6 again, and to say she was happy would be an understatement for she would be able to see her future husband once more and if what this Athan was telling her was true he had been brought back as well though he did not tell Harry that she had been brought as well and he wanted her to play along and see how long it took for him to figure it out for himself, but for now it was time for her to train and the smirk on Athan's face made Ginny go pale and shivers go down her spine.
