Chapter 2: Let's start the training
Upon arriving home, Lord Harry James Emrys Potter Black was not met with respect and awe that his title implies. No, his relatives were quite disgusted with him. But, because he promised to pay his Uncle Vernon one thousand pounds for the trip to London, they tolerated their nephew. Oh, and if we started talking about money, five seconds after Harry entered Number 4 Privet Drive...
"So, boy, where is our money? You better not play games with me boy, because if you do, I am going to make your life living hell. So, you freak, pay up!" Vernon Dursley screamed angrily. He was quite angry, because he had to wander in London for a full day, when he would have watched sports channel if he just said no and stayed at home. And when his freaky nephew entered the car, he did not pay the money immediately! No, he said that they will settle their business at home. So naturally, Vernon Dursley wanted his money! And he wanted it now!
"Well, Uncle Vernon, I personally do not understand why you keep screaming at the top of your lungs every time you talk to me, and them worry about neighbors seeing me do magic. I would not be very surprised if they already knows about magic, after all the screaming. I really believe some anger management therapy would do you good... But that's not the point of course. The point is that I am Lord Harry James Emrys Potter Black. Also I can do magic legally now" at this point Harry summoned a tea cup from the kitchen, "and if you talk to me like that again I will not hesitate to turn you into a pig you are. Now, when we have this matter cleared up, " at this point Vernon showed every sign of starting to scream again, or even attacking Harry, but our newest Lord of the Light just let some of his power to his eyes, and Vernon immediately backed down, "I will say that I value honor and I do not like to be have debt to someone, so here is your one thousand pounds." Harry took the money out of his pocket and gave Vernon to 500 pounds notes(A/N: is this the right word?). Then Harry unshrinked his trunk and calmly levitated it upstairs.
Upon entering his room, Harry let out the breath he was unknowingly holding, relaxed and sat at his desk. Then he took a parchment out of his desk, he found a pen under a table and started to think about what he will do tomorrow. 'Well, first of all, I have to master Occlumency, then I have to train myself to be a better duelist(A/N: It dueler or duelist?). I definitely must become an Animagus. Then I have to fill the gaps of my education, for example, I have to learn Arithmancy, and Ancient Runes also my understanding of potions is abysmal at best, I have to revise Charms and Transfiguration. If I want to beat Dork Noisyfart, I have to at least finish Hogwarts curriculum. I wonder if there is some way to make time go faster? Well, I will ask Merlin about that tomorrow. Oh, shit! I have to ask Hedwig about Raja. I just hope that she won't rip my head off... She can be downright scary sometimes...' When he thought about that, Harry noticed his owl looking at him. He concentrated every drop of his Gryffindor courage and said to his owl:
"Hedwig, in Diagon Alley I found out that I am the magical heir of Merlin and there was a phoenix named Raja at the entrance of the vault, who said that he wants to be my familiar. I told him that I will ask you about it, and if was not against it I would agree... I will always love you Hedwig, because you are the most faithful friend I have ever had. So what do you say? Can Raja be my second familiar?" Hedwig looked at her Master, hooted friendly and unmistakably nodded her beautiful wide eyed head. Then Harry called Raja to him. The phoenix appeared in the shower of golden flames. He looked to his surroundings. His eyes stopped on Hedwig for a moment. It looked like, they were conversing for a couple of minutes.
"Master, Harry, how come that the most powerful wizard in the world lives in a room like this?" Raja asked after talking with Hedwig.
"Well, Raja, you see my parents died when I was one year old, Headmaster of Hogwarts brought me there for my protection against Death Eaters. I lived in the cupboard under the stairs until I was eleven, so this is quite an improvement... You know, now, when I can do magic, I believe I will improve this room quite a lot."
"Of course Master, excuse my for doubting your wisdom. By the way did you knew that your owl could be a phoenix?" Raja asked.
"Nonsense Raja, your question was quite good. Do not call me Master please. My name is Harry. And what do you mean about Hedwig being a phoenix?"
"Well, when a familiar is very loyal and caring to his master, and master is immortal and loves his familiar very strongly, the Powers that Be gives the Owl an ability to become a Phoenix."
"So you say that Hedwig has this ability? Can you possibly talk with her? If she wants to become a Phoenix, I'm all for it. If she does not, well, I am all for it. What would he have to do in order to transform?"
"Yes, Hedwig definitely has the ability, yes I really can talk with her and yes, she really wants to become a phoenix to aid you better. Transformation is very difficult process. There is no danger for her life, it is not painful. She would have to go with me for a night. I would take her to the Phoenix realm. The elders would judge her worthiness, and if she pass the test, she would come back as a Phoenix tomorrow. I give 95 percent that she will pass..."
"Well if Hedwig really wants this then I am all for it. I would love her if she remained as an owl, I will love her as a Phoenix."
"Thank you Harry, if we want to come back until tomorrow, we must go now. Until the next time!" Raja said, then she took Hedwig and disappeared in the flames.
After the disappearance of his familiars, Harry took a pen and started to write.
The things to learn:
Occlumency, maybe Legilimency
Dueling (Wordless magic if possible, Wandless magic would be very good)
Animagus Training
Arithmancy, Ancient Runes to be ready to take NEWTs as fast as possible
Relearn Potions to be ready to take NEWTs as fast as possible
Charms, Transfiguration to be ready to take NEWTs as fast as possible
Harry looked at the list and understood that to learn all these subjects he will definitely have to ask Merlin about time altering spells. When he decided that, he started to write his schedule on another side of the parchment.
My schedule:
6.00 Wake Up
6.15 Breakfast
6.30 Work Out at the Park
8.30 Shower
9.00 Occlumency
11.00 Legilimency

15.30 Animagus
17.30 Arithmancy, Ancient Runes
19.30 Dinner
20.00 Potions
22.00 Charms, Transfiguration
24.00 Shower, Go To Sleep
First sight that Harry saw after opening his eyes, was two Phoenixes. One was Raja and another was an unknown Phoenix who was looked very much like his owl, Hedwig.
"Hedwig! Hello girl! How do you feel? It wasn't painful, was it?"
"No, Master Harry, it definitely was not. It was a second most pleasurable thing in the world. I feel so powerful, so strong! I haven't felt this good in my life! Do you understand what I mean Master?" Hedwig happily babbled.
"Oh yes, Hedwig, I do understand how you feel, because after yesterday I feel the same. It's like a huge weight is taken off my shoulders. I feel like there is no problem I could not solve. I feel like my old self was imbecile compared to the new me! Do you feel similarly?" Harry babbled too.
"Yes, Master, I definitely feel the same. And we can finally talk! That is so wonderful! But now you have to ask Mr. Merlin about time altering spells." When Hedwig was talking Harry became increasingly happier. When the phoenix reminded him about Time Spells, he found the letter from merlin and wrote at the back.
"Hello Mr. Myrddin Emrys." After a second an answer appeared.
"Hello, young Lord. How are you coping with new responsibility? What is your name?"
"It is not the first time I am responsible for something like this. Of course the magnitude and importance of this mission is much higher. My name is Harry James Potter. After yesterday, Lord Harry James Emrys Potter Black."
"I see... How old are you? And what year is it?"
"I am fifteen years old, I will be sixteen after a month. It is 1996."
"You are so young... And it is so long without a Lord... Well I believe you wanted to ask me something."
"Yes. I wanted to ask you if you knew of any way to make time go faster in a room?"
"I know a way, yes. Why do you need it though?"
"Well there is a Dark Lord, and I am prophesied to defeat him, so I need to learn as much as I can in as little time as possible. This wizard is called Lord Voldemort. It is an anagram from his real name Tom Marvolo Riddle. Wizarding World is afraid of him so much, that they call him You-Know-Who or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. I call Dark Dork Noisyfart, but nevertheless I have to train very hard to beat him as fast as possible. By the way, you said that you chose to die when Hogwarts was founded. Well, maybe you knew Salazar Slytherin? Tom Riddle is descendant of his..."
"Prophesied you say? Do you know what that prophesy says? An yes, I knew Salazar. He was quite Dark, but definitely not evil. He enjoyed teaching very much you know..."
"Well the prophesy says : The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
"Marked you as his equal, did he? How did he do that?"
"Well, after the beginning of the prophesy leaked to him, my parents went to hiding under the Fidelius Charm. The Secret Keeper betrayed them, and he came. Noisyfart killed my father, my mother took a Killing Curse for me, then he tried to finish me off with Avada Kedavra again, but it somehow deflected back at him and the link between our minds was formed. He somehow lost his body, but he resurrected himself last year. By the way I can speek Parseltongue now... And as a result of the Killing Curse, I have a scar on my forehead... It is shaped like lightning bolt."
"What is so special about surviving Avada Kedavra? It can be blocked with a simple shield. Only downside is that this shield must be casted by another, and it must be fueled by a very strong desire to protect the target."
"Maybe that is a spell my mom used on me? Do you know how to cast the spell?"
"Well, dah, I created the shield, so I know how to cast it. Incantation is Mortus Protegus Amorus Maximus you must concentrate on the desire to keep you loved one alive. This shield reflects any spell back at it's caster. But it needs special connection between caster and target. For example the bond between mother and child, the bond between soul mates. I think that you will want to cast this spell on your soul mate until you marry and she becomes immortal. Now about the spell to make time go faster. This is a very difficult spell. It needs very big amount of power, and two different phoenix tail feathers. I do not know how you will find two phoenixes, but incantation is Tempus Acceleratus and then you have to say how many times do you want to accelerate time in English.Before that you have to put a phoenix feather at each side of the door. Let's say you want to spend one year in the room, for every day outside. Then you say Tempus Acceleratus three hundred sixty five times. By being the Lord of the Light you can regulate the speed of your aging, so you may not look like you are seventeen years old. Now do you have any questions? If not, then goodbye. Even I have to rest you know..."
"Goodbye Merlin, good rest to you."
Harry asked his phoenixes to lend him a tail feather. They gave him the feathers immediately. Then Harry put a feather at the sides of the door and was ready to cast a spell when he heard his phoenix Hedwig saying "Umm... Master Harry, I know that you are immortal, but how do you plan to eat?"
"Well, I haven't thought about that... Hmm... What if I... Dobby!"
"Yes, sir Harry Potter, sir?(A/N: I can't do the accent of the House Elves)What do you need?"
"Dobby, are you a free house Elf?"
"Yes, Harry Potter" Dobby cheerfully said.
"Then maybe you would like to work for me? I you promise me that you won't tell anyone about this secret, I would explain my reasons for hiring you."
"Dobby promises on his life and magic to never reveal Harry Potter's sir's secrets!" house elf sweared.
"I did not have to swear on your life and magic... Simple "I promise" would have been enough... But nevertheless I am going to make the time in my room go in much faster pace then normal and I need someone to help me prepare this room for training, and prepare food. I will hire you for twenty Galleons a month and weekends off." By this time Dobby was jumping up and down in excitement, but when he heard the amount of money he will earn he interrupted "No, Harry Potter, sir, you is very great wizard but Dobby is not greedy elf, two galleons a week will do." Harry just lazily said "Well, I believe 25 Galleons and weekends off will be good enough for you Dobby." Dobby was not a stupid elf, so he agreed. Then, Harry asked Dobby to make his room as big as he could, and to create training room, bedroom, kitchen, and dueling room.
After an hour, when Dobby was finished, Harry concentrated as hard as he could and said Tempus Acceleratus three hundred sixty five times. The room started shining white. Harry felt a little exhausted, so he went to take a nap.
Five hour later, when the Lord of the Light finally woke up, he was greeted by his House Elf's Dobby's Lunch. After eating, he found the Catalog of the Emrys Family Library, and found all the book's on Occlumency he could find. He chose a book named The Mind Arts for the Beginners and Experts by Rowena Ravenclaw. The book was written by the Founder of Hogwarts, who was called the most experienced Mind Arts user there ever was. The book was destined to be good. Of course, it was. In the introduction it said: Many people who nowadays call themselves Master Occlumens or Legilimens really are just beginners. Master Occlumens can show whole collection of false memories, information. True Master Legilimens can bypass any, and all Mind Shields with ease and without detection. Me excluded, there was only one true Master of the Mind Arts. My partner, who helped me discover them in the first place, The Lord of the Light Myrrdin Emrys. He said once that people who design their Mind Shields in the way the book on Occlumency says them to, will never be a True Master of Occlumency.
Now Harry understood that he has a potential to become Master of the Mind Arts, because he was The Lord of the Light too. Harry decided to take Merlin's advice to heart, and devise a way to protect his mind himself. He just had to know how to start learning Occlumency. He started reading the first chapter of the book. The first step to learning Occlumency is clearing your mind. You have to concentrate on the image of calm river, or a flame of a candle. You must be able to think only about the image you chose for at least three hours until the first attack of Legilimens can even be attempted on your mind. Even then it has to be a light probe, looking for your happiest thoughts. You must try to make your attacker to see only the image you chose as your focus.
Well, Harry was angry. He was furious. But he was not stupid. He understood that being angry or furious won't solve anything, so he calmed himself, and concentrated on the flame of a candle. It did not work. Then, he tried to concentrate on a river. It did not work too. Then, he tried to concentrate on on the feeling he got when he was flying his Firebolt. Success was unbelievable. He could stay like that for as many time as he could. The feel of wind blowing against his face was incredible. When he finally got enough of the feeling, he read what to do next. When you can hold the image for as long as you want, you must will your very being, you soul to enter your mind. Just remember, that in your mind, you can do absolutely anything you want.
Harry concentrated on the feel of flying and the willed himself to enter his own mind. Suddenly, he appeared at the white void. There were many thoughts flying around him. He decide that he will organize them into the system of computer programs. For example he will be able to enter both "disks" C and D, while intruder will be checked for his intention and asked fro password, which only will be placed at the disk D. If intruder knows the password and he is loyal to only Harry and is entering the mind with allowance of Harry himself, he will be directed to the D "disk" and told the secret of finding it. If intruder does not know the password, his intentions are bad or his is not allowed to enter the mind, he will be directed to the C "disk". There all the bad memories will be stored. Also, there will be many false memories and intruder identifying system. For example if intruder is identified as Dark Dork, he will be shown the false prophesy, which says that no matter what he does, he will be defeated by Harry Potter. If intruder is identified as Severus Snape or Albus Dumbledore he will be showed all the abuse Dursley's inflicted on him. "Disk" D will be held under Fidelius Charm and will have all the knowledge Harry has, all the happy memories, it will hold every bit of love Harry is capable to feel. In other words, it will be the paradise for Harry and his true friends and loved ones to visit.
After twelve hours, when Harry finished his mind protections, he asked Dobby to prepare something to eat. After eating dinner, Harry was dead tired so he went to sleep.
A/N: Sorry, this chapter is much shorter then the first one but I will update faster. What is better 3000+ words chapters with faster updates or 7000+ chapters with longer wait between updates? Faster updates are better I believe... Please review...
