Here is chapter 6. Sorry it took so long, I have A-levels getting in the way at the moment. As it is the Easter holiday, i will try and get more done.


Harry leant back into his arm chair as he, Ron and Hermione finished telling their tale of the past 5 years at Hogwarts and then the history before that. Silence fell over the room, leaving only the crackling fire to be heard. Thoughts were racing through Peter's head, going over what he had just heard. He thought he had it bad losing his parents and Uncle Ben, but Harry had lost family and friends left, right and centre. People had died trying to save him and keep him alive.

"I think I can really learn a lot from you guys," Peter suddenly said, breaking the silence.

"You three have been through so much, more than I have been through, what can I do to help?"

Harry thought for a moment before he spoke.

"There is probably something we can do. We can try and train you to do some basic magic, that way you can use your powers and have some defence against the Death Eaters."

"That sounds a good idea, but how are we going to get him a wand?" Hermione asked.

"Ah, now you see that, I already have one," Peter piped up. "While I went undercover, I thought it best to buy one to make my disguise more authentic. I have absolutely no idea how to use it and have never tried any magic."

"Well that makes things a little easier," Harry said.

"Harry could teach you," Ron suddenly said.

"Yes that's a great idea," Hermione reciprocated. "He did a fantastic job with the DA last year; he would really be able to help you now."

"I like the sound of it. I hope to learn much form you master," Peter joked as he bowed to Harry.

"Sure, I could do that. We'll start with the basics and then move up to the more complex spells later on."

"When shall we start?" Peter asked.

"Well considering that its Saturday today and it is lunch in about an hour, we can start after that."

"Sure, that sounds great."

They all agreed and they settled down to plan what today's lesson was to be on.

A couple of hours later, lunch over, Harry, Ron and Hermione returned to the room of requirement to deliver Peter some food. They had all decided it was probably best that he wasn't spotted by Malfoy again, after the saga earlier.

"Thanks, I'm starving," he said just before he wolfed down the collection of things they had brought him.

When he had finished, Harry and Hermione cleared the room of the food items and set it up for the lesson. By thought alone, they were able to remove the fireplace and chairs, pushed the portraits into the walls and covered them in more oak panelling, changed the chandeliers into large bright glowing orbs of light and placed two large foam mats at either end of the room.

"Wow, you really aren't taking chances are you?" Peter asked.

"It's better to be safe than sorry," Hermione said.

"Too right," Peter agreed.

"So you remember what we discussed earlier, we are going to start with a simple disarming spell," Harry said.

Harry and Peter took up their positions in front of the mats and prepared for the lesson.

"I'll go first and show you and then you can try on me. Agreed?"

"Whatever you say boss," Peter replied.

With that consent, Harry lifted his wand high into the air and as he brought it crashing down to face Peter, cried "Expelliarmus!"

Peter's wand flew out of his hand and went towards Harry, who with the nimble hands of a seeker caught it before it could hit the floor.

"Right, you got that?" Harry asked.

"I think so. I'll tell you when I have done it."

Harry through Peter's wand back and they stood in their positions once more. What was about to happen, was going to change things forever.

Peter raised his wand up and concentrated hard, before following Harry's example and bringing his wand level with Harry and crying out the spell. "Expelliarmus!"

Time seemed to freeze the minute the spell hit Harry in the chest. A golden stream of light emerged out of both Harry and Peter's chests. They both started to shake violently, as though they were in pain, but they weren't. Hermione and Ron cowered in the corner of the room as the light show was happening. Eventually Hermione plucked up the courage and leaped up and ran towards Harry and Peter. She racked her brain for the appropriate spell, found it, lifted her wand and cried out the spell.

"Finite Incantatem!"

The glowing light disappeared and Harry and Peter fell to the floor. They both lay unconscious on the floor, leaving Hermione jittering and Ron in shock.

"What on earth was that?" Ron asked.

"I don't know, but we need to go and get Professor Dumbledore," Hermione replied.

With that she ran over to the door, reached it open and fled through it to go and fetch the headmaster, leaving Ron standing over the two figures in a dazed state.
