Chapter 11 The Unblockable Curse
Harry woke up the next morning before the sun had come up and got dressed. He grabbed the book that Remus had given him and went down to the common room. Ginny had been waiting for him. They went to the library to find books on magical protection spells involving old methods. When they found what they were looking for the sat down at a table and started to read on how exactly the mark left on Harry as a baby that protected him from Voldemort. It left a spell on him to keep anything that Voldemort used reflect off of him.
The Unblockable curse has a counter to it. The spell left by Harry's mom was a bit of older magic but it had an essence of love for life. It had an essence of Lily's love for Harry's life. How were they supposed to use this information to block an unblockable curse? Harry's mind clouded and he changed books to start to check out everything that he could on wandless magic theory and how to use it to intensify wandless magic and use a wand with it. The book started out not making much sense and then started talking about how wandless magic required a good bit of magical essence. They spent a good hour and a half trying to figure out the connection and found nothing. Harry check and crossed referenced the three subjects until he finally gave up and turned to see if Ginny had any luck.
"No I can't think right now Harry I need food."
"Yeah I guess we could take a break and get some food. We'll start back up after school." "Sounds good." Harry stood up and made for the door of the library. Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him into a short kiss then walked towards the door. They went to the Great Hall and sat down next to Hermione and Ron. Ron wasn't talking to anyone and had a look on his face as if he hadn't slept at all last night.
"So where have you two been," Hermione asked as she noticed Harry and Ginny sitting at the table.
"We were in the library Hermione."
"Looking for an answer to what happened last night."
"No not really we were looking for something that is really complicated."
"What perhaps I can help."
"Actually we were kind of hoping that you would help because we were lost."
"What is it?"
"Well we were trying to find a way to block the Avada kedavera curse."
"But that is unblockable. There isn't a way."
"Yes Hermione that is what we were told but I survived the curse. It was deflected off of me so it isn't unblockable we just cant find a link between wandless magic and the charm left on me as a kid. We thought that it could work if we found out how to turn the charm left on me into an actually spell that we could perform."
"That sounds like it is possible to do but I need to do some studying on the charm that your mom left on you I didn't read up on much of it."
"That's not like you at all."
"Oh are we talking to each other again Ron or are you just trying to make fun of me again."
"Both."
"Well don't, but if you remain civil then I will speak with you again." Harry left to walk Ginny to class. He had Defense against the Dark arts now and if Krum followed his usual path of teaching then he would have time to think about how to combine the charms and make them wandless. He needed this to work the wizarding kind depended on it working. He needed power that Voldemort knew not. He needed a way to beat him and after the fight with Dumbledore he knew that right now he wasn't able to. He had been lucky every time that he had faced him. He had helped every time and now he was sure that he wouldn't have any help the next time. Ginny cut into his thoughts and objected saying that he would have her to help but he didn't want to put her in any danger.
'But I am already in danger Harry we all are and if I can help to get us all out of danger then I am going to.'
'I know Ginny but I couldn't stand it if I lost you.'
'I couldn't stand it if I lost you and didn't try to help Harry.'
'I am at class ok Ginny can we discuss this later.'
'Ok.' Harry entered the class and sat down. The make out session that he usually walked in on had already stopped before he entered. Hermione was in her seat looking as happy as ever and Krum was at the front of the class sitting behind his desk looking rather pleased with himself.
"What's with you two?"
"What is it a crime to be happy?"
"No just curious really."
"Well I let Professor Krum know about the charm that we are trying to figure out and he agreed to help with it. He is rather good at coming up with new spells. Something to do with playing quidditch allowed him to think in a different way,"
"Well that sounds good Hermione just hope that you can get some of the work done in-between the make out sessions."
"Don't worry Harry we will get what is needed done." The rest of the class started to file in and Ron took a seat next to Harry where he usually did. The class was however far from boring. They where now studying basic aurora training and how to change himself into different objects or people to hide from everyone. The class was really fun once everyone learned the spells needed they started to change themselves into other people. Harry, Hermione and Neville were the first to actually change and only another half an hour of practicing the rest of the class followed. Once everyone had learned the spell Professor Krum decided that it would be fun for everyone to face the walls and change into one another in the class and try to figure out who is who. The class ended and most people couldn't figure out who anyone was. Harry went to lunch and meet up with Ginny. 'That was a much better lesson than mine it's not fair really you learn way more in that class than I do.'
'That's because I am in a grade higher than you.'
'Still. It's not fair.' Harry laughed as she continued her pouting. He tried to, but he couldn't even if he kept it completely quiet, hide it from her. This was one of the many disadvantages of having the connection that they did. She elbowed him in the gut and then turned back on her lunch. Hermione entered the Great Hall and hurried over to Harry and Ginny, Professor Krum followed.
"Harry we figured out a bit of it we found out how to connect the two spells. We at least know what you are supposed to do."
"What, you know, well then what is it. What do we have to do?"
"Well first let's state the obvious by saying that you have to learn to block an unblockable spell. Second let's say that the way to do this is very difficult but knowing you that's the way you like it."
"Hermione that's not the way I like it, it just seems to happen that way."
"Well any ways let's go to Professor Krum's office and discuss it there." Harry and Ginny got up and followed them to his office without questioning. Hermione started in on explaining about the spells and how it had to be performed on another level of understanding and how it could only work if Harry knew what it meant that his mom did. How it could feel to love something strong enough to give up your life to save it. Harry looked over at Ginny and without hesitation he knew that he would sacrifice himself to save Ginny.
"The spells a bit more complicated then that, you see in order for this to work you will need to be able to give up your life for more than just Ginny but every living thing." Harry searched himself. He knew that he didn't want to see anyone die but would he sacrifice himself to ensure that they would live their lives. Could he.
"What is the incantation Hermione?"
"The incantation is duratio reflecta inamarato."
"Duratio reflecto inamarato." Harry and Ginny repeated the incantation in their heads several times until they had it memorized. Harry went to his next class feeling slightly heavier than an hour ago. He knew that he was now the true savior of wizard kind. Every experience that he had had didn't let that set in to his mind. But now knowing that he was studying a curse to deflect the avada kedavera curse he suddenly felt the full weight of the world on his shoulders. There was no longer anyone in the world to fall back on. He would have to face him on his own.
"Harry you know that this isn't going to be all on your own. You will have help."
"Yes and no Ginny. I will have help with reaching my strength and I will have you but the fight against Voldermort, I will not have any help."
"Harry yes you will. You will always have us. And you will always have me."
"Ginny I can't let you or anyone else die because of Voldemort." Ginny kept quit and sat in her class thinking to herself trying to keep her thoughts away from Harry but that wasn't possible. The problem with a connection like this is that there is no solitude. You are always connected. Harry's next class ended shortly and he went to the Common room trying to study this new charm. Ginny was right and he knew it he was never alone just look what Hermione accomplished. He might not even know how to do this. The charm was very difficult. He didn't even know how to move his wand. He combined the movements he knew in blocking but nothing was working. Harry was at it for nearly an hour when Ginny walked in asked him to come down for dinner. Harry, not having done anything productive, agreed and went down to the Great Hall.
"After dinner Harry Dumbledore wants to see you." Harry nodded his head. He wasn't in the mood to talk. He ate his meal as quickly as he could and excused himself from the table. He walked to Dumbledore's office, said the password climbed the stairs and knocked. The door opened and he entered. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk as usual. "Professor Dumbledore." Harry called. The headmaster sat at his desk staring hard at a paper in front of him.
"Professor Dumbledore." Harry called again getting his attention.
"What oh Harry. Sorry didn't hear you enter"
"What is on that paper you're reading?"
"It's nothing."
"I have an idea, I think I have a way to reflect the avada kedavera curse, I need your help." "What do you need?"
"I need you to send it at me and try to make me block it."
"But Harry what if it doesn't work you could die."
"No I don't think so see I might have a way to deflect it."
"Yes Harry but this is only in theory and saying you get the spell right there is still a possibility you could die."
"But I need to try it I need to know."
"It is too risky."
"Professor, what if we cast a displacing charm to disrupt where I am so when you curse me it will go through me as if I am not there."
"Of coarse brilliant idea Harry."
"Ok ready?"
"Yes Displacio Harry."
"Ok you too, just in case it reflects back at you."
"Displacio me."
"Ready professor?"
"Yes, avada kedavera." A green light shot out of Dumbledore's wand directed at Harry and he froze what if the protection didn't work. The light just passed through him. It hit the door and blacked the surface.
"I didn't use the full force just in case it would have just knocked you out."
"Let's try again professor."
"Avada kedavera." A green light shot from his wand. Harry had new confidence he waved his wand.
"Duratio reflecto Inamarato." The spell passed through Harry hitting the ground and blasting chunks everywhere. Dumbledore restored the floor.
"I am not getting the swing right."
"Where did you learn that spell?"
"Well Sirus, Remus and My mom told me to connect wandless magic, blocking charms and the charm left on me as a child. Hermione figured it out."
"This was very cleaver I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Of coarse the spell isn't unblockable you blocked it as a child."
"Let's try again Professor."
"Avada Kedavera."
"Duratio Reflecto Inamarato." Harry jabbed his wand but it still wasn't working. The green light passed through him and hit the wall. The wall caught fire and then was extinguished by Dumbledore.
"Harry try slashing your wand. Just like my wand movements for the killing curse. There is a thin line between love and hatred."
"Alright I'll try that." Harry practiced his wand movements for a while until he was comfortable.
"Ready."
"Yes."
"Avada Kedavera."
"Duratio Reflecto Inamarato." Harry slashed his wand. He hit the floor. Had the Displacement charm worn off? It was known that charms like that took a lot of work to hold up and it would be hard to keep up for a while. Did The Avada Kedavera curse kill him? Harry opened his eyes and saw Professor Dumbledore standing over him. He was not dead.
"What Happened?"
"Well you passed out but before you passed out you deflected a bit of my curse caught my desk on fire."
"So it worked."
"Well it worked enough to let you reflect a bit of it unfortunately you need to build up you inner strength or your magical essence."
"How?"
"Do more curses that involve your essence." Harry nodded and began to leave. He wanted to get back and practice a lot of things. Dumbledore told him to stop by tomorrow and learn the displacement charm. Harry ran to the Gryffindor common room. He had to tell Hermione what had happened even though Ginny was already explaining to them why she passed out. When he entered through the portrait of the fat lady he saw the group in the corner listening to Ginny. Ron was sitting next to Luna, who had now become so accustom to being in the Gryffindor common room people were starting to think she switched houses.
"So what do you know?" Harry asked knowing that they knew almost everything. "Thank you Hermione without you there never would have been a defense to this killing curse." "Harry you're going to win you know."
"It won't be easy."
"No one ever said it would be."
"I know."
"Harry you can do thi..." Ginny's speech was cut of by Harry who proceeded to kiss her. Time froze it its usual manner. Harry stopped and waited, talking to Ginny as time returned to normal. Ron got up and walked Luna to the door. She had a confused look on her face. Ron explained what happened. Harry's attention drifted towards them.
"So every time they kiss that happens."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"That would be so great to be able to do that."
"I don't know seems like a lot of hassle if you ask me."
"Yeah but think of what you could do with that. Never get caught snogging. Or even going further."
"I know it's just a bit unsettling." Ron and Luna walked out of the portrait and left from sight.
"Harry?"
"What."
"How nice of you to join our conversation Harry."
"Yes well you know me. Anyways I am going to try and work on strengthening my magical essence." Harry went up to his dorm and went to reading his books on the subject. His mind wandered from subject to subject. He was teasing Ginny with erotic thoughts as she spoke to Hermione. Then he would redirect his attention back to his magic essence. The problem was that he could not feel his essence and he didn't know how to strengthen it anyways. What exactly was he suppose to do. About an hour passed and he was still just as lost as ever. He could hear Ron and the others walking up the stairs. Apparently it was later than he thought, as everyone seemed to be leaving the common room. Ginny stayed down there, as the room grew steadily emptier. Harry grabbed his books and went down to her.
"Harry, don't bring the books we can study later."
"Yeah well I need to do this now." Harry entered the common room and saw that only Hermione and Ginny where in the room. He took a seat next to Ginny and began to read again. This time Ginny was interrupting his thoughts with erotic situations involving them. Harry forced his train of thought on his book.
"Studying hard enough Harry," Hermione asked. At that moment Ginny placed the image of Hermione and Ginny with Harry in his head.
"Just want to take in the information." Harry turned red as he answered her.
"What's wrong Harry you're blushing?"He turned to Ginny and scowled at her. She giggled. He couldn't even fake getting mad at her properly. She knew he wasn't mad. Hermione yawned and decided that it was time for her to go to sleep. As soon as she was out of sight Ginny leaped on Harry and started kissing him? At first they were quick pecks all over trying to annoy him. But her energy turned him on rather than annoyed him and the kisses grew slow and hot. Time slowed to a still and the universe was separated into another place. Ginny started to undress Harry and then her. She had them down to their underwear until Harry stopped her.
"Harry its ok I want to."
"I cant."
"I am ready Harry I want you to."
"Ginny its not that I don't want you its just that I need more time for this but I think we could continue to make out if you still want to."
"I understand Harry," and she proceeded to kiss him. She was a little reluctant at first to kiss passionately but the longer they kissed the harder it was for either one of them to tell if they where one person or not. Ginny backed off. Something felt funny like they were floating again. Both Harry and Ginny hit the chair with a thud and looked at each other with a slight amazement. They touch lips again and kissed passionately only with their eyes open the same feelings raised again and they started to float again. They began to remove their underwear without ever unlocking their kiss they pulled each other closer. A rush of excitement ran through them. Ginny grabbed Harry and, before he could do anything, inserted him into her. The feeling was so over powering that despite how good it felt they knew they couldn't continue. They floated in timeless air Harry inserted into Ginny for what felt like hours but no time had passed. And even if it were moving only seconds would have before he pulled out.
The sensation was just too much for them to bear. They dressed themselves knowing that Ginny was no longer technically a virgin. When they where dressed they kissed each other goodnight once again and headed off to bed. Time was still frozen when he lied down. They had almost had sex. And despite all of it he didn't feel at all awkward. In fact he almost felt relieved. But this wasn't technically their first time. Maybe that is why this isn't awkward. They have had sex in their dreams. He drifted asleep.
Harry awoke the next morning to find that time had restored itself and it was now dawn. He got out of bed dressed and went to the Great Hall. He had Herbology this morning and then nothing until astronomy at midnight. He wanted to wait until Ginny was finished with class before going to see Dumbledore. Herbology was kind of interesting if you call interesting trying to remove a plant that can kill you. They had devil snare in one of the green houses that needed to be removed so they don't hurt the other plants. Devil snare might hate sunlight but there are plenty of spaces in a green house that has no sun.
After that lesson Harry went to the library to get easier spells that dealt with magical essence. He then walked over to the great hall for lunch and told Ginny that he would wait for her to go to see Dumbledore. She already knew this but told him all right anyways. Harry walked her to her next class, said his goodbye and headed back to the common room.
There wasn't anyone in the room when he entered. He had the common room all to his self. Harry started to read the books on different magic spells to use his essence. He came across one that looked fairly easy to do. It was a simply self-levitation spell that didn't use a wand. Harry read the passage and then tried the levitation spell. The incantation leviosa was just to energize his magical essence. The real magic came from himself and when properly practiced didn't require the use of an incantation.
"Leviosa." Harry could feel himself floating in the air and his thoughts went to what happened last night. He could feel Ginny start to lose concentration in her class. She couldn't write what the teacher was saying just what she was thinking. He forced the thought out of his head and she realized what she was writing. She cast an erasing charm and started back on her assignment.
Her class was over soon and they went to Dumbledore's office knocked on his door. He invited them in and looked a bit surprised to see Ginny.
"Alright you two I guess we shall begin."
"Yes professor." They answered.
"Now the Displacement charm requires control and the ability to tap into your essence. The duration of the spell falls on the strength of the magical essence of the wizard."
"I know we tried once but we couldn't do anything."
"Well let's try again Harry. You can go first." He tried but the spell was just too hard to get anything but the state of mind right.
"Ginny you can go next." She tried but this spell required too much control and essence to work. The Duratio Reflecto Inamarato Charm just required love this charm required every part of you to work. Harry sat down and placed his hand on Ginny. She looked up into his eyes and something happened between them that hadn't happened for weeks. They became one person in two bodies again. Without thinking they stood up breaking the chair and said the incantation out loud but without any particular target.
"Well it would have work had you had a target but since it had no destination it couldn't work. You two are a very strong team." But even as Dumbledore said that he had no idea how right he was, nor how wrong he was. The Displacement charm worked and it wasn't until Dumbledore tried to clean up his office that he realized to what extent. He cast a standard fixing charm on the chair that was broken and it went right through the chair and the floor.
"Oh my."
"How do you take this spell off Professor?"
"It wears off when you lose the energy to sustain it."
"How long does that take?"
"That again depends on the person usually no more than an hour with the strongest of people, but you two are different so there is no telling."
"I thought you said the charm needs a target."
"It does and you have one in general. The castle. I have never seen a displacement charm this powerful. They are supposed to be close proximity spells." Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and professor Dumbledore stated that they could go. They went to the Great Hall and sat with Ron, Luna, Hermione, and Neville. No one knew that they had a displacement charm placed on the castle. Harry and Ginny ate their meal quickly and then went to the common room. They had to go to sleep the practice had taken a lot out of them. They kissed and went to bed. Harry awoke with a start the next morning his dorm was empty except for Ginny was standing over his bed.
"Harry you have to come down stairs quick."
"Why what's up."
"Two second years tried to learn the expeleramus jinx and their target was dead on but the jinx went right through the both of them. Harry we put the displacement charm on the whole school." Harry jumped out of bed. How was this possible the books say that this spell was a close proximity spell and that it usually last a couple of hours. Twelve hours had passed how long would it take to wear off. It had now hit Harry how powerful he and Ginny really were. He got dressed and went down stairs. Hermione was consulting her books about expeleramus and couldn't find anywhere the effects that the two-second year had.
"Hermione." Ron said, "Maybe the reason that you can't find it is because it has nothing to do with expeleramus charm. Maybe there is another reason.
"What would that be Ron I have only read about one charm with that effect and that's the displacement charm? It is almost impossible to do so. I doubt that these two did that." "Yes but what if someone else did it.
"Ron it is a close proximity spell and it has been a half an hour since we noticed the spell. The spells average time is up to 2-5 minutes. This isn't right." Hermione looked worried about it. Ginny and Harry went over to explain what happened last night in Dumbledore's office. When they finished she looked even more worried and confused.
The displacement charm lasted throughout the next week before it was lifted. Ginny felt confident about this year's OWLS because of Harry's help she knew defense against dark arts better than any one in her year. Not to mention she was exceptional in every other subject. They walked up to the dorms and Harry and Ginny found a corner to share it didn't matter anymore they could stop time with a kiss and they both knew that they where thinking the same thing they sat an chairs in a corner and began to make out and that feeling intensified to were both Harry and Ginny could control each others bodies as well as their own. They could see out of each other's eyes as well as their own. It felt that they where as they should be floating in timeless space for an uncountable amount of time and before they could think of a reason not to they had started to take off each other's clothes. They where naked pulling each other into one another until they where so close that breathing became difficult but not uncomfortable.
Ginny again inserted Harry into her and that overpowering feeling began again and they just floated there an hour went by before Harry pulled out. They fell back to the ground and lead her to his bed. They didn't even grab their clothes. She lied back on his bed and they began kissing again. The room became lighter as they began to float. Ginny inserted Harry back into her. The overpowering feeling was easily ignored this time through the passion and they began to make love. The rhythms and breathing where the only sounds that could be heard in the room it was better than they had imagined it would be. They lied there floating in the air still inserted for over three hours before time crept up on them. They kissed each other long enough to re-stop time and went down to pick up their clothes. They ran to the bathrooms to put them back on. When they both got out time was still stopped and they sat down to admire each other. Time seemed to melt slowly back to reality as every one began to move again completely unaware that they had just had sex. They were now ready to start the day. The first Qudditch practice was this afternoon and he had double defense against the dark arts.

Chapter 11 The Unblockable Curse
Harry woke up the next morning before the sun had come up and got dressed. He grabbed the book that Remus had given him and went down to the common room. Ginny had been waiting for him.

"No I can't think right now Harry I need food."
"Yeah I guess we could take a break and get some food. We'll start back up after school." "Sounds good." Harry stood up and made for the door of the library. Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him into a short kiss then walked towards the door. They went to the Great Hall and sat down next to Hermione and Ron. Ron wasn't talking to anyone and had a look on his face as if he hadn't slept at all last night.
"So where have you two been," Hermione asked as she noticed Harry and Ginny sitting at the table.
"We were in the library Hermione."
"Looking for an answer to what happened last night."
"No not really we were looking for something that is really complicated."
"What perhaps I can help."
"Actually we were kind of hoping that you would help because we were lost."
"What is it?"
"Well we were trying to find a way to block the Avada kedavera curse."
"But that is unblockable. There isn't a way."
"Yes Hermione that is what we were told but I survived the curse. It was deflected off of me so it isn't unblockable we just cant find a link between wandless magic and the charm left on me as a kid.

"Both."
"Well don't, but if you remain civil then I will speak with you again." Harry left to walk Ginny to class. He had Defense against the Dark arts now and if Krum followed his usual path of teaching then he would have time to think about how to combine the charms and make them wandless. He needed this to work the wizarding kind depended on it working. He needed power that Voldemort knew not.

The class ended and most people couldn't figure out who anyone was. Harry went to lunch and meet up with Ginny.

Harry went to his next class feeling slightly heavier than an hour ago. He knew that he was now the true savior of wizard kind. Every experience that he had had didn't let that set in to his mind. But now knowing that he was studying a curse to deflect the avada kedavera curse he suddenly felt the full weight of the world on his shoulders. There was no longer anyone in the world to fall back on. He would have to face him on his own.
"Harry you know that this isn't going to be all on your own. You will have help."
"Yes and no Ginny. I will have help with reaching my strength and I will have you but the fight against Voldermort, I will not have any help."
"Harry yes you will. You will always have us. And you will always have me."
"Ginny I can't let you or anyone else die because of Voldemort." Ginny kept quit and sat in her class thinking to herself trying to keep her thoughts away from Harry but that wasn't possible. The problem with a connection like this is that there is no solitude. You are always connected. Harry's next class ended shortly and he went to the Common room trying to study this new charm. Ginny was right and he knew it he was never alone just look what Hermione accomplished. He might not even know how to do this. The charm was very difficult. He didn't even know how to move his wand. He combined the movements he knew in blocking but nothing was working. Harry was at it for nearly an hour when Ginny walked in asked him to come down for dinner. Harry, not having done anything productive, agreed and went down to the Great Hall.
"After dinner Harry Dumbledore wants to see you." Harry nodded his head. He wasn't in the mood to talk. He ate his meal as quickly as he could and excused himself from the table. He walked to Dumbledore's office, said the password climbed the stairs and knocked. The door opened and he entered. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk as usual. "Professor Dumbledore." Harry called. The headmaster sat at his desk staring hard at a paper in front of him.
"Professor Dumbledore." Harry called again getting his attention.
"What oh Harry. Sorry didn't hear you enter"
"What is on that paper you're reading?"
"It's nothing."
"I have an idea, I think I have a way to reflect the avada kedavera curse, I need your help." "What do you need?"
"I need you to send it at me and try to make me block it."
"But Harry what if it doesn't work you could die."
"No I don't think so see I might have a way to deflect it."
"Yes Harry but this is only in theory and saying you get the spell right there is still a possibility you could die."
"But I need to try it I need to know."
"It is too risky."
"Professor, what if we cast a displacing charm to disrupt where I am so when you curse me it will go through me as if I am not there."
"Of coarse brilliant idea Harry."
"Ok ready?"
"Yes Displacio Harry."
"Ok you too, just in case it reflects back at you."
"Displacio me."
"Ready professor?"
"Yes, avada kedavera." A green light shot out of Dumbledore's wand directed at Harry and he froze what if the protection didn't work. The light just passed through him. It hit the door and blacked the surface.
"I didn't use the full force just in case it would have just knocked you out."
"Let's try again professor."
"Avada kedavera." A green light shot from his wand. Harry had new confidence he waved his wand.
"Duratio reflecto Inamarato." The spell passed through Harry hitting the ground and blasting chunks everywhere. Dumbledore restored the floor.
"I am not getting the swing right."
"Where did you learn that spell?"
"Well Sirus, Remus and My mom told me to connect wandless magic, blocking charms and the charm left on me as a child. Hermione figured it out."
"This was very cleaver I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Of coarse the spell isn't unblockable you blocked it as a child."
"Let's try again Professor."
"Avada Kedavera."
"Duratio Reflecto Inamarato." Harry jabbed his wand but it still wasn't working. The green light passed through him and hit the wall. The wall caught fire and then was extinguished by Dumbledore.
"Harry try slashing your wand. Just like my wand movements for the killing curse. There is a thin line between love and hatred."
"Alright I'll try that." Harry practiced his wand movements for a while until he was comfortable.
"Ready."
"Yes."
"Avada Kedavera."
"Duratio Reflecto Inamarato." Harry slashed his wand. He hit the floor. Had the Displacement charm worn off? It was known that charms like that took a lot of work to hold up and it would be hard to keep up for a while. Did The Avada Kedavera curse kill him? Harry opened his eyes and saw Professor Dumbledore standing over him. He was not dead.
"What Happened?"
"Well you passed out but before you passed out you deflected a bit of my curse caught my desk on fire."
"So it worked."
"Well it worked enough to let you reflect a bit of it unfortunately you need to build up you inner strength or your magical essence."
"How?"
"Do more curses that involve your essence." Harry nodded and began to leave. He wanted to get back and practice a lot of things. Dumbledore told him to stop by tomorrow and learn the displacement charm. Harry ran to the Gryffindor common room. He had to tell Hermione what had happened even though Ginny was already explaining to them why she passed out. When he entered through the portrait of the fat lady he saw the group in the corner listening to Ginny. Ron was sitting next to Luna, who had now become so accustom to being in the Gryffindor common room people were starting to think she switched houses.
"So what do you know?" Harry asked knowing that they knew almost everything. "Thank you Hermione without you there never would have been a defense to this killing curse." "Harry you're going to win you know."
"It won't be easy."
"No one ever said it would be."
"I know."
"Harry you can do thi..." Ginny's speech was cut of by Harry who proceeded to kiss her. Time froze it its usual manner. Harry stopped and waited, talking to Ginny as time returned to normal. Ron got up and walked Luna to the door. She had a confused look on her face. Ron explained what happened. Harry's attention drifted towards them.
"So every time they kiss that happens."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"That would be so great to be able to do that."
"I don't know seems like a lot of hassle if you ask me."
"Yeah but think of what you could do with that. Never get caught snogging. Or even going further."
"I know it's just a bit unsettling." Ron and Luna walked out of the portrait and left from sight.
"Harry?"
"What."
"How nice of you to join our conversation Harry."
"Yes well you know me. Anyways I am going to try and work on strengthening my magical essence." Harry went up to his dorm and went to reading his books on the subject. His mind wandered from subject to subject. He was teasing Ginny with erotic thoughts as she spoke to Hermione. Then he would redirect his attention back to his magic essence. The problem was that he could not feel his essence and he didn't know how to strengthen it anyways. What exactly was he suppose to do. About an hour passed and he was still just as lost as ever. He could hear Ron and the others walking up the stairs. Apparently it was later than he thought, as everyone seemed to be leaving the common room. Ginny stayed down there, as the room grew steadily emptier. Harry grabbed his books and went down to her.
"Harry, don't bring the books we can study later."
"Yeah well I need to do this now." Harry entered the common room and saw that only Hermione and Ginny where in the room. He took a seat next to Ginny and began to read again. This time Ginny was interrupting his thoughts with erotic situations involving them. Harry forced his train of thought on his book.
"Studying hard enough Harry," Hermione asked. At that moment Ginny placed the image of Hermione and Ginny with Harry in his head.
"Just want to take in the information." Harry turned red as he answered her.
"What's wrong Harry you're blushing?"He turned to Ginny and scowled at her. She giggled. He couldn't even fake getting mad at her properly. She knew he wasn't mad. Hermione yawned and decided that it was time for her to go to sleep. As soon as she was out of sight Ginny leaped on Harry and started kissing him? At first they were quick pecks all over trying to annoy him. But her energy turned him on rather than annoyed him and the kisses grew slow and hot. Time slowed to a still and the universe was separated into another place. Ginny started to undress Harry and then her. She had them down to their underwear until Harry stopped her.
"Harry its ok I want to."
"I cant."
"I am ready Harry I want you to."
"Ginny its not that I don't want you its just that I need more time for this but I think we could continue to make out if you still want to."
"I understand Harry," and she proceeded to kiss him. She was a little reluctant at first to kiss passionately but the longer they kissed the harder it was for either one of them to tell if they where one person or not. Ginny backed off. Something felt funny like they were floating again. Both Harry and Ginny hit the chair with a thud and looked at each other with a slight amazement. They touch lips again and kissed passionately only with their eyes open the same feelings raised again and they started to float again. They began to remove their underwear without ever unlocking their kiss they pulled each other closer. A rush of excitement ran through them. Ginny grabbed Harry and, before he could do anything, inserted him into her. The feeling was so over powering that despite how good it felt they knew they couldn't continue. They floated in timeless air Harry inserted into Ginny for what felt like hours but no time had passed. And even if it were moving only seconds would have before he pulled out.
The sensation was just too much for them to bear. They dressed themselves knowing that Ginny was no longer technically a virgin. When they where dressed they kissed each other goodnight once again and headed off to bed. Time was still frozen when he lied down. They had almost had sex. And despite all of it he didn't feel at all awkward. In fact he almost felt relieved. But this wasn't technically their first time. Maybe that is why this isn't awkward. They have had sex in their dreams. He drifted asleep.
Harry awoke the next morning to find that time had restored itself and it was now dawn. He got out of bed dressed and went to the Great Hall. He had Herbology this morning and then nothing until astronomy at midnight. He wanted to wait until Ginny was finished with class before going to see Dumbledore. Herbology was kind of interesting if you call interesting trying to remove a plant that can kill you. They had devil snare in one of the green houses that needed to be removed so they don't hurt the other plants. Devil snare might hate sunlight but there are plenty of spaces in a green house that has no sun.
After that lesson Harry went to the library to get easier spells that dealt with magical essence. He then walked over to the great hall for lunch and told Ginny that he would wait for her to go to see Dumbledore. She already knew this but told him all right anyways. Harry walked her to her next class, said his goodbye and headed back to the common room.
There wasn't anyone in the room when he entered. He had the common room all to his self. Harry started to read the books on different magic spells to use his essence. He came across one that looked fairly easy to do. It was a simply self-levitation spell that didn't use a wand. Harry read the passage and then tried the levitation spell. The incantation leviosa was just to energize his magical essence. The real magic came from himself and when properly practiced didn't require the use of an incantation.
"Leviosa." Harry could feel himself floating in the air and his thoughts went to what happened last night. He could feel Ginny start to lose concentration in her class. She couldn't write what the teacher was saying just what she was thinking. He forced the thought out of his head and she realized what she was writing. She cast an erasing charm and started back on her assignment.
Her class was over soon and they went to Dumbledore's office knocked on his door. He invited them in and looked a bit surprised to see Ginny.
"Alright you two I guess we shall begin."
"Yes professor." They answered.
"Now the Displacement charm requires control and the ability to tap into your essence. The duration of the spell falls on the strength of the magical essence of the wizard."
"I know we tried once but we couldn't do anything."
"Well let's try again Harry. You can go first." He tried but the spell was just too hard to get anything but the state of mind right.
"Ginny you can go next." She tried but this spell required too much control and essence to work. The Duratio Reflecto Inamarato Charm just required love this charm required every part of you to work. Harry sat down and placed his hand on Ginny. She looked up into his eyes and something happened between them that hadn't happened for weeks. They became one person in two bodies again. Without thinking they stood up breaking the chair and said the incantation out loud but without any particular target.
"Well it would have work had you had a target but since it had no destination it couldn't work. You two are a very strong team." But even as Dumbledore said that he had no idea how right he was, nor how wrong he was. The Displacement charm worked and it wasn't until Dumbledore tried to clean up his office that he realized to what extent. He cast a standard fixing charm on the chair that was broken and it went right through the chair and the floor.
"Oh my."
"How do you take this spell off Professor?"
"It wears off when you lose the energy to sustain it."
"How long does that take?"
"That again depends on the person usually no more than an hour with the strongest of people, but you two are different so there is no telling."
"I thought you said the charm needs a target."
"It does and you have one in general. The castle. I have never seen a displacement charm this powerful. They are supposed to be close proximity spells." Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and professor Dumbledore stated that they could go. They went to the Great Hall and sat with Ron, Luna, Hermione, and Neville. No one knew that they had a displacement charm placed on the castle. Harry and Ginny ate their meal quickly and then went to the common room. They had to go to sleep the practice had taken a lot out of them. They kissed and went to bed. Harry awoke with a start the next morning his dorm was empty except for Ginny was standing over his bed.
"Harry you have to come down stairs quick."
"Why what's up."
"Two second years tried to learn the expeleramus jinx and their target was dead on but the jinx went right through the both of them. Harry we put the displacement charm on the whole school." Harry jumped out of bed. How was this possible the books say that this spell was a close proximity spell and that it usually last a couple of hours. Twelve hours had passed how long would it take to wear off. It had now hit Harry how powerful he and Ginny really were. He got dressed and went down stairs. Hermione was consulting her books about expeleramus and couldn't find anywhere the effects that the two-second year had.
"Hermione." Ron said, "Maybe the reason that you can't find it is because it has nothing to do with expeleramus charm. Maybe there is another reason.
"What would that be Ron I have only read about one charm with that effect and that's the displacement charm? It is almost impossible to do so. I doubt that these two did that." "Yes but what if someone else did it.
"Ron it is a close proximity spell and it has been a half an hour since we noticed the spell. The spells average time is up to 2-5 minutes. This isn't right." Hermione looked worried about it. Ginny and Harry went over to explain what happened last night in Dumbledore's office. When they finished she looked even more worried and confused.
The displacement charm lasted throughout the next week before it was lifted. Ginny felt confident about this year's OWLS because of Harry's help she knew defense against dark arts better than any one in her year. Not to mention she was exceptional in every other subject. They walked up to the dorms and Harry and Ginny found a corner to share it didn't matter anymore they could stop time with a kiss and they both knew that they where thinking the same thing they sat an chairs in a corner and began to make out and that feeling intensified to were both Harry and Ginny could control each others bodies as well as their own. They could see out of each other's eyes as well as their own. It felt that they where as they should be floating in timeless space for an uncountable amount of time and before they could think of a reason not to they had started to take off each other's clothes. They where naked pulling each other into one another until they where so close that breathing became difficult but not uncomfortable.
Ginny again inserted Harry into her and that overpowering feeling began again and they just floated there an hour went by before Harry pulled out. They fell back to the ground and lead her to his bed. They didn't even grab their clothes. She lied back on his bed and they began kissing again. The room became lighter as they began to float. Ginny inserted Harry back into her. The overpowering feeling was easily ignored this time through the passion and they began to make love. The rhythms and breathing where the only sounds that could be heard in the room it was better than they had imagined it would be. They lied there floating in the air still inserted for over three hours before time crept up on them. They kissed each other long enough to re-stop time and went down to pick up their clothes. They ran to the bathrooms to put them back on. When they both got out time was still stopped and they sat down to admire each other. Time seemed to melt slowly back to reality as every one began to move again completely unaware that they had just had sex. They were now ready to start the day. The first Qudditch practice was this afternoon and he had double defense against the dark arts.
