Yes, reviews from the masses and I quote Foamy the Squirrel, whom I do not own, but those cartoons are really funny. I feel so loved.
Voldemort:(tied up in chair)You watch a cartoon about a talking squirrel?
Hikari: Online cartoon, but yes, they're very funny.
Voldemort: Ok...
Hikari: Anyway thanks to all for the reviews loved them and yeah to the fact that I'm on people's alert list you guys like my story or at least find it interesting.Yes, I do know that there was some slight spelling problems in the last chapter, my computer had to get rebooted and we didn't have Microsoft Word so I had to deal with an Internet spell checker which didn't help, so I apologize greatly for that, I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Now the moment you've been waiting for Chapter 5, let the fun begin with the torturing...uh teaching methods of Professor Jamillian. Oh and thanks to one of my reviewers for pointing out that Harry sounded young, please forgive me, I will work to correct the situation, and make him sound more like a teenager.
Voldemort: You're weird you realize that don't you...
Hikari: Thank you captain obvious,oh and I figured out a little thing with my story, I have to cool it a bit on the language, gets kind of hard to cool it when you go to a school where everyone tends to cuss a lot, so I appologize again if anyone was offended by my use of language in the last chapter, it is possible for people to be insulted believe it or not, anyway the disclaimer is in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, now begin the story!
-----Chapter 5-----
-----New Teaching, New Training, and New Friends...oh my-----
Harry read his new schedule for the year while Ron stuffed his face besides him, Hermione scolded Ron about being a pig, and Kuro ate some food from Harry's plate. Harry was occupied in his thoughts when his schedule was stolen right out of his hands, he quickly looked up and smiled when he saw Adrien standing behind him.
"Hello Harry, how is your morning so far?" Adrien asked.
"It's fine, I have your class first." Harry said.
"So I've read on the schedule."
Adrien handing Harry his schedule back before heading out of the Great Hall. Harry noticed that Jamillian was not at the table that morning which was odd, since all teachers were always there, minus Snape whenever he was working overtime on potions for the Hospital Wing. Harry shook his head and looked down and grabbed a piece of bacon before Kuro could eat it.
/Hey!./ Kuro hissed and Harry smiled down at him. Kuro shook his snake head before using his wings, which had begun to develop small claws on the top middle joints, to help slither/ crawl up Harry's arm and wrap lightly around Harry's neck. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were talking about their classes this year and Ron and Hermione also filled him in on the events that had happened in the Wizarding World during the summer. As they did they heard humming and turned their heads toward the entrance and saw Jamillian walking in on her hands in a handstand.
"Professor Jamillian, what is the meaning of this?" Dumbledore asked, Harry could just hear the anger that threatened to spill out at Jamillian.
"Hello, Bumblebee, just doing my morning routine, I can't help it if I sleep upside down and I walk like this for a little bit. Oh don't be such a spoil sport, everyone should try it, helps me when I can't think." Jamillian said as she stopped and looked up at Harry and his friends at the Gryffindor table. She smiled at them before flipping up so she was standing on her feet once more and headed up to the staff table.
"She's so odd," Hermione said with a glare at Jamillian.
"She almost reminds me of Luna, but I think Luna is more sane then her," Neville said. Harry shook his head as a hawk flew in and circled around the Great Hall drawing everyone's attention. Everyone watched as it flew and landed in front of Harry who removed its package, gave it some bacon, and watch as it took off out of the Great Hall. Harry looked down at the package as everyone stared at him as he opened it. The package was wrapped again and a letter was on top of the other wrapping. Harry took the letter and recognized the writing as his relative's. He smiled and he quickly opened the letter.
'Dear Harry,
How have you been? I know you just started school again and I have a bit of advice for you. One trust what your heart tells you, mine has never let me down so neither will yours, two be weary of Dumbledore, or Bumblebee as my friends and I refer to him, three keep close to Adrien he will protect you with his life, and finally four if you have any dreams I want you to tell me before you tell Bumblebee, trust me with this it is very important, and use the pensieve Severus gave you in order to get all the details, keep that pensieve hidden from Bumblebee, otherwise he will use it against you. Oh yea before I forget, this is to help you get through this year, don't worry it's not at all dangerous, I put some instructions inside it, do not let Bumblebee get inside your present though, he will also use this against you, other than that have fun and I'll talk to you later.
Love- Your Relative R.P.'
Harry smiled at his relative's letter before folding the letter back up and putting it in his pocket. He unwrapped his package to reveal a small chest about 10 inches high, 15 inches in length, and 10 inches in width. He saw that there was another letter stuck to the top and reached for it only to have his hand grabbed by someone else's. He looked up and saw Dumbledore had grabbed his hand before Harry could grab the letter.
"Harry do you know who this package is from?" Dumbledore asked looked down at Harry seriously and Harry could see that the usual annoying twinkle was gone.
"Yes sir, I do," Harry said as he removed his wrist from Dumbledore's grasp. Harry looked and saw that McGonagal, Snape, Adrien, and Jamillian had followed and were standing behind Dumbledore.
"Oh leave him alone Bumblebee, it's just a package what harm could it do?" Jamillian asked.
"A lot, I shall have to read the letter on this chest first before Harry can open it." Dumbledore said. He reached for the letter and as he touched it electricity could be seen around it and Dumbledore pulled his hand back and held it in pain. His hand looked like it had been shocked and burned at the same time, Harry looked back at the letter and saw that there was some type of electric field around it along with a fire surrounding the letter.
"It seems that whoever has sent you this package does not wish that letter to be read," Snape said.
"By anyone but the intended anyway, go ahead Harry try and get the letter," Jamillian said with a smirk as she looked at Dumbledore. Harry nodded and reached to the letter and saw the shield flare up before dying down as Harry grabbed the letter. He was not burned or shocked as he opened it and looked at what was written inside but before he even got a chance to read it, Dumbledore snatched it away only to drop it as he was shocked and burned again.
"Well, Rose did warn you, didn't she," Adrien said with a smirk. Harry picked up the letter and read it, it was instructions on how the chest could be used, and the lock and key were inside and both were enchanted so that once Harry picked them up only he could use them to open the chest as his magic signature would be signed into it and no one could duplicate it even with a poly juice potion, the chest and lock were also enchanted so neither could be opened or destroyed except by Harry with the key. Harry smiled and placed the letter in his pocket with the other before opening the chest to reveal a black key with a crest carved into the key handle, a black lock with the same crest, and a black necklace with the same crest. Harry picked up the necklace but quickly put it back when red smoke leaked out of the crest. Everyone watched as it formed into the shape of a young person but gender could not be identified, not even by the voice as it spoke.
"Bumblebee, I have told you not to interfere but according to my spies you have ignored my warnings and you still try to run Harry's life, this I can not allow, you have been ignoring my warnings for the past four years, I swear once I have finished my work here in Japan, I will come to the school and I will take control and make sure you and no one else can run Harry's life, you know you can't stop me and I want you to stop intervening in everything that is going on and to start telling the truth and do not try to intercept Harry mail or even touch it otherwise you will end up with something worse than a few burn and scorch marks from my magic." The smoke person said before fading. The necklace lifted itself up, placed itself on Harry's neck, and glowed lightly before settling around Harry's neck.
Harry grabbed his new gift from his relative and quickly headed upstairs to store his weapons in the chest and locked it before heading off to his first class of the day. He met up with Ron, Hermione, and the others at the class doors. As they walked they heard some music playing and looked and saw a muggle boom box playing on the desk. The Gryffindors all took their seats as did the Slytherins when they entered and soon Jamillian walked in slightly dancing to the music as she walked to the front of the room. She pressed a button on the boombox and the music stopped.
"Well, good morning everyone, I must say it's wonderful to be here at Hogwarts with all of you, but how about we lose the seriousness for a little bit, go ahead loosen your ties, lose the robes, but you have to make sure you look serious when you leave this room." Jamillian said with a smile. Everyone seemed to be happy about this and a few got rid of their robes while others loosened their ties. Jamillian smiled at them as Adrien walked in.
"Already bending the rules I see," Adrien said. Jamillian simply shrugged her shoulders with a smile and stood up from leaning against her desk as Adrien took a seat at the desk.
"Alright shall we begin, first things first, I am Professor Rosalind Jamillian, if you have trouble pronouncing my last name just call me Professor J. and this is Adrien," Jamillian said. "Just call him Adrien, you all already know that I am from the States, so my teaching may be a little different than what you're used to. However I still expect your full attention, just cause I'm close to your age does not mean I'm an easy teacher, shall we begin, please put away your books this will be a hands on class today."
"Uh excuse me," Neville said. Jamillian turned around and looked at him.
"Yes?"
"There were no books for this class on the supplies list, so we didn't know what to buy."
"Oh yea, that's right I remember now, I was providing your books this year, Adrien would you go fetch them from the office."
Adrien nodded and left while Jamillian walked over to the chalk board and snapped her fingers and the projector turned on, the projection screen came down, the lights dimmed, the curtains shut, and a picture of a large creature appeared on the projection screen. It looked like a large whitedog with markings on its face and a crescent moon on its forehead, to Harry it kind of reminded him of Sesshoumaru.
"Can anyone tell me what this is, anyone at all, come on don't be shy, it's healthy to guess." Jamillian said. No one raised their hand, so Jamillian snapped her fingers and the slide changed. This time it was a large snake with red eyes and large fangs and a small shadow of a person stood beside it in comparison to its size.
"Canany ofyou name what this is?"
Harry slowly raised his hand, and Jamillian turned and smiled at him as she pointed to him.
"It's a Basilisk professor," Harry said his voice becoming laced with confidence as she spoke.
"Very good Harry, five points to Gryffindor, yes this is indeed a Basilisk, it's a very dangerous serpent, can anyone tell me why?" Jamillian said and this time Draco raised his hand. "Yes, Draco?"
"It's venom is fatal and quick acting, and if you stare into its eyes you will die, it's like taking a death look seriously." Draco said.
"Very good Draco, excellent five points to Slytherin. So, today we are going to see if we can name the creatures that appear on the projection screen and then do something fun."
Jamillian once more snapped her fingers and this time a centaur appeared. This went on for a while before another picture appeared on the screen this one more confusing to the everyone, it looked like a snake but it had wings with claws, its head was a mix between that of a dragon and a serpent, and it was larger than the Basilisk.
"Does anyone know what this creature is?" Jamillian asked. Once more no one raised their hand, so Jamillian stepped into the front of the picture. "This is a serpagon, a type of dragon from Japan that looks likea mix between a snake and a dragon, and if I remember correctly Harry owns one, Harry can you please Kurohiryuu up here?"
Harry walked forward as some light came into the room and he gently removed Kuro from around his neck. Jamillian had Harry hold Kuro as she stood by him.
"This ladies and gentlemen, is a serpagon, a full grown one has venom as deadly as a Basilisk, but it is a companion dragon and only uses its venom in emergencies, more like a last resort to put it plainly. As a companion dragon they actually choose humans to be with, mostly witches and wizards although some do choose muggles, demons, half demons, etc. The serpagon is very loyal and would never betray it's chosen companion, but they are extremely rare and very hard to find and it is sometimes very unlikely that the person who has bought them is their chosen companion. Thank you Harry you may go sit down now."
Harry went back to his seat at the same time as Adrien walked out of the office with book piled up in his arms. Jamillian walked over to Adrien and helped him set the books on her desk and turned to face everyone.
"All right, everyone come up here and get a book, these books are from America, newly written, and very good, they have just about every defense spell in the world in there. I did promise something fun though didn't I, so I want you all to move your tables up against the walls and sit, I'm going to help you with your first defense spell, a basic one in the book but fun none the less." Jamillian said. Everyone rushed around to do what Jamillian had said before they all stood and faced her. She and Adrien were carrying a large trunk in the room and placed it in front of the classroom.
"Ok, good job everyone come over here, now you all remember a picture of a creature that looked kind of like a cross between a dementor and a banshee, well that is what is in this trunk. This is a Multus Miserabilis in Latin or Great Sad in English, the Miserabilis is a cousin to the Boggart, but instead of showing what you fear most, it show what makes you sad or a time when you were your saddest or most depressed, this is why this creature is dangerous, it can make you die from your depression if given the chance. Now, how do you defend yourself from such a creature that can make you depressed, well it's almost the same as defending your self against Dementors, only you think about it as you would with a Boggart only the Miserablis will change into what makes you happiest, same as the Boggart would change into what you found most amusing. Now the spell to cast is Gauisus which is Latin for happy. Let's try it out on how to pronounce it shall we?"
Jamillian said Gauisus first before the students repeated after her. She smiled and nodded at them and had them all line up Gryffindor, Slytherin, Gryffindor, Slytherin, etc. Neville was the first one up and Jamillian nodded to Adrien who unlocked the trunk and opened it. Out stepped Neville's parents and they were being tortured by a Death Eater who had stepped out of the trunk after them, everyone watched as tears were brought to Neville's eyes before Jamillian's voice broke through the silence.
"Concentrate Neville, what makes you happy, what inspires you to continue on through life, what makes you happy?" Jamillian asked from where she leaned up against a desk. Everyone saw Neville close his eyes before opening them and waving his wand.
"Gauisus," Neville said and suddenly the scene changed to a bunch of plants on the ground of assorted varieties. Jamillian smiled at Neville and nodded at him as he looked at her.
"Very good Neville, perfect."
Neville nodded and walked to the back of the room as Draco came forward the Miserabilis plants shook before they began changing, it soon took the shape of Draco but his eyes and his expression held an emptiness and loneliness that no one had ever seen before. Then,right before everyone's eyes, Miserabilis Draco began to age and the sadness, the emptiness, and the loneliness grew in his eyes and in his expression. Draco didn't seem to be able to handle it before Jamillian's voice woke him up.
"Draco concentrate, defeat your sadness," Jamillian said. Draco finally came back and said the spell and the aging Draco turned into a young Draco that was surrounded by father and mother both looking at him proudly when he showed them his Slytherin badge. Draco sighed and turned to Jamillian who once more nodded encouragingly before Draco walked to the back of the room. This went on and finally Harry was the last up to take a turn. Everyone watched as the Miserabilis shifted and changed into Harry's parents with a baby him in his mother's arms. The night that Harry's parents were killed began to take place in front of everyone's eyes, they watched as Voldemort came and killed Harry's father before killing Harry's mother.
Harry could barely handle it, seeing this happen in his dreams was one thing but watching it happen in front of him while he was awake was a whole different experience, he saw everything from a different perspective, he no longer just heard the voices he saw the whole thing. Thewholescene flew into Harry's mind and hit him like atonof bricks,it was like a broken record, the screams were once more etching themselves into Harry's mind, just as they had when theDementors were at Hogwarts, only this time Harry could not thinkof a single thought to stop the ones that were assaulting his mind.His hand loosened on his wand as he watched the death of his parents take place before his eyes, whenJamillian's voice broke through hisfogged mind. It seemed her voice was stronger than when she had used it with the others.
"Harry concentrate, you can get through this, come on think of something that made you happy, you have to!" Jamillian said her own voice sounded like it was laced with sadness and desperation. The fog that floated around Harry's mind disappeared and his hand gripped his wand strongly before he finally said that spell. The Miserabilis shifted and an older Harry with Remus appeared followed by Harry flying on his broom, him with a black dog, him and Adrien, him and Kuro, and every other wonderful thing that had happened to him. Jamillian clapped and smiled before waving her hand and the Miserabilis was thrown back into the trunk that Adrien locked immediatly. The bell rang to signal the end of class and Jamillian dismissed everyone, telling them to write a page on the Miserabilis, what their sadness had been, and why they had chosen that happy memory to counter the Miserabilis.
Harry and Draco were the last ones out, Harry had said that Ron and Hermione could go ahead of him, while Draco was just left alone by his friends. As the two headed to the door, they heard a thud and turned around to see Jamillian had fallen to the floor,both studentsand Adrien rushed to her side and helped her sit up.
"Professor Jamillian are you all right?" Draco asked causing Harry to give him a confused look. Jamillian nodded and looked at the two and a smirk crossed her face.
"Hey I have a question for you two, how would you both like to learn some advanced magic? Umbridge and Dumbledore wouldn't know and it would just be for you two, how would you guys like that?" Jamillian asked. The two looked at each other before nodding at Jamillian in agreement. "Perfect, we can meet here on Saturday, don't tell anyone though, if they ask just tell them it's tutoring for you two only, all right, now you two best get going before Severus gets mad at you two for being late to his class."
The two teenagers grabbed their things, made sure Jamillian was all right as Adrien helped her stand, and left to head down to the dungeons where they both had Potions together. They walked in silence down the corridors before they heard someone yell out their names. They turned and saw Adrien running over to them. When he caught up with them he handed them both a pass signed by Jamillian and left them as they started walking again.
"Um...Harry?" Draco asked breaking the silence they were, once again, walking in.
"Yes?" Harry asked looking up from checking on Kuro, who had fallen asleep around his neck.
"Um, look I know I'm not usually one to apologize, but I'm sorry for everything that I've put you through for the past four years."
Harry looked at Draco confused before seeing that Draco was serious. Harry let out a small smile and held out his hand.
"Let's start over then, hi I'm Harry Potter," Harry said.
"Hi, I'm Draco Malfoy, pleasure to meet you," Draco said with a smile. The two then started down to the dungeons once more unaware of the two set of eyes watching them.
-----TBC-----
Yes, another chapter done. That one took awhile, I hate writer's block, it's so annoying. Anyway, there may be a few spelling problems and a few bad sentences, but that's because my computer still doesn't have Microsoft Word yet. I promise I will work on fixing the situation as soon as possible till then, I'm correcting everything by eye and hand. Not the easiest, I'll tell you that, but once Microsoft word is back up, my writing will be much much better, I promise.
Voldemort: (struggling in the chair he is tied to) My Hikari does know that Draco was out of character in this chapter, but she says it's part of her story. She wishes that all of you who read her story would review as she likes to hear peoples opinion on her story. Now untie me!
Hikari: Thanks Voldemort, how about now, this is for hiding my candy! (Pulls out an interigating light) Now tell me where are the pixie sticks and snickers! Oh and look forward to the next chapter ---Training Begins and Three Personalities--- see ya next time!
