Chapter 3

TThe Saturday arrived and the two members of the Golden trio decided to come to Professor Wayne training program. Ronald Weasley was against the idea, as he did not want to attend any more classes than necessary thus leaving Harry and Hermione alone to go to the class.

The two students arrived to the class but it looked rather small. The room itself was not well suited for combat training or any training whatsoever as it was too small and narrow for that to occur.

"Hello Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger, I guess you are wondering how will we train here. We won't as we will apparated to my house." He gave his two hands to the students and the three apparated to Wayne Manor.

As the two stood at the floor in the living room of the house, they awed at the size of the place as it was huge and it seemed that an entire regular house could fit into some of the rooms. "Don't be too surprised Harry, there are few houses in the wizarding world that size and one of them is Potter Manor. In England the wealthiest families are Potters, Malfoys, Blacks, Longbottoms and Lestranges, who all roughly equal in wealth although at the moment the Malfoys have the most influence as Longbottoms are in the hospital, Black is a wanted person, Lestranges are in Azkaban and you have not used any of your influence yet. I will teach you what you need about wizarding world leading families so that you could use that to help you defeat Voldemort but for now it is time for training. You will practice with my students as it is their practice as well"

The two Hogwarts students saw two older students who just enrolled in Hogwarts as well as Cassandra, the girl, whom Harry seemed to like as well as her best friend Stephanie, who was now one of Hermione's roommates in the Gryffindor tower. "Hey Hermione, today you will be my sparing partner"

"All right, listen up you four. Dick and Jason will demonstrate to you what an intense duel is and I want you two, especially Harry to be at least half as good by Christmas. The two boys looked at each other and after bowing to their opponent, moved away and on the count of three started firing different spells. However, the spells were not the only thing they used as the two wizards used quite a bit of physical exercising.

Dick Grayson, the older of the two, was jumping in the air doing somersaults and used agility to his advantage whereas Jason Todd had a more aggressive style, using transfiguration a lot in his style and transfiguring different objects in either knives or missiles and sending them at his teammate.

Their magical attacks were sophisticated as well, since they did not just use the regular disarming or stunning spells; they used different portions of the magical curriculum to help them. Dick Grayson's specialty was Charms as he used many spells in that category to fight and Jason used transfiguration.

The match soon ended when Jason created s swamp under Dick's feet, which glued him to the floor; dick in return sent Jason flying into the ceiling, who created a small crater. "Well done you two. As you can see, they used many things which would aid them in combat, not just the spells that are used in the Defense Class."

It was not Harry and Hermione's turn. The two split up and Hermione went to practice with Stephanie. The other girl was not too strong, which made the two opponents roughly equal. With Harry and Cass it was a different story.

The two students stood in front of each other and after the formalities started the fight. Harry did not know the fighting style of his opponent yet so he went with his usual technique. However, Cassandra Cain Wayne was not an ordinary witch, the girl used her agility to avoid Harry's shots and after running away from them jumped at Harry and kicked him with her foot, which sent him flying to the wall.

Harry got up and fired more spells at the girl but she was much better than him and every single time he tried to defeat her, Cassandra knocked Harry on the ground and after some fighting knockout out Harry's wand.

The wand fell on the floor but Harry did not notice that as he was in a battle mode and with anger sent a magical wave, which hit Cassandra and sent her flying to the wall. The girl smirked and attacked him with a number of her own spells. Harry increased his momentum and the two jumped at another and stopped just when their fists were about to collide.

"Well done Harry, you much raw potential. I thought of testing how strong you are by putting you against Cassandra, as she is one of the top duelers in the world. However, despite her being able to use wandless and wordless magic proficiently in combat, she has problems with writing and reading as her biological parents raised her to be the top duelist/wizard assassin and neglected her other education. I expect that she will do rather poorly in her other classes as she cannot read and write well. However, it seems that you too can use wandless magic but you need to focus on it more. We will work on it later and now you all have ten laps around the mansion as the conclusion of the exercise."

Harry looked with horror at that since he guessed just how large one lap would be. Still, he though, it would be better to train like that than not train at all.

While running, the older boys were pacing quickly as it seemed that they were accustomed to it and Cassandra was not far behind but Harry and the other two girls were running way behind although it helped for Harry that he was a Quidditch player, which made him somewhat fit.

After the run, the company dropped on the ground and Dick with Jason decided to hit the showers. Harry looked at Hermione. "Hermione, could you help to ask Cass for me to go to Hogsmead as I don't know what to do"

"Do it yourself"

Harry walked closer to Cass and tried to say something but then he could not glue the words together. The girl looked at him with curiosity. Hermione thought it was funny and decided to help her friend. "Cassandra, would you like to go with Harry to Hogsmead next time?"

"OK" she said and smiled. Harry was happy but when he saw Jason next time he was scared.

"If you hurt her, I will hurt you a lot!"

"Don't listen to Jason, Harry, he is just over protective over the baby Cass". Unfortunately, the girl heard that.

"Not baby. Cass not baby!" she exclaimed and jumped at Dick Grayson. When Bruce returned for the group to apparated back to Hogwarts, he saw Dick and Cass rolling on the ground wrestling and the rest of the group trying to pull the two apart.

A/N So here was the first training session. I know it seems that I made Cass to powerful but she is one of the best fighters, so I thought of giving her wandless magic but she still have problems with reading and writing and her speech is rather simple.
