Chapter Ten: The Week Away

It had been around two months since they had returned from their honeymoon in Hawaii, they had taken a load of photos. And had shown them to the others. They had also had one of them blown up and placed it in the reception room. It was a wizarding picture so it moved, the cloudless sky and clear sea in the background, the waves crashing softly against the fine sand. They stood looking at one another with nothing but love in their eyes.

Harry had been informed that the training week was to start in two days time. He had time to go home and tell Tom that he would be away for a week. Tom wasn't too fond of the idea, but understood the need for Harry to go so he could become an Auror.

Day One

Harry had packed a Muggle first aid kit as well as food and water to last the week. He had been told to meet with four others that were going to be part of his team. He stood outside of the Auror training facility and waited for them all to show up.

The first to arrive was Tony and Loren; Harry had seen them around the facility on a number of occasions. He didn't really know them, though they had gone to Hogwarts as well. Arnold and Julie weren't far behind them. They did the quick get to know you and then went off to meet up with their instructor.

They went into the classroom they were to meet Stephan Byers, their instructor. He told them that during the week they had to get hold of five statues. The statues were guarded in various ways. They had to think of a way to get them without being hurt.

He told them of the way they were going to be graded, the number of statues they get at the end of the week. The tactics they used to get them. How they work within the team they have been assigned to. Also points would be taken away if any of them were injured.

They were then taken to a forest area, Stephan said goodbye and left them alone. They sorted out who was going to get wood for a fire and to look around to see if anything was edible for them. While those that were left set up camp for them.

Day Two

A note was left beside the extinguished fire. It told them of the location of the first statue they were to try and get. They packed a few supplies in their backpacks and went off to scout the location and to find out what they were going up again.

They came up on the location and saw a large Hungarian Horntail. Harry was reminded about the first task during the Tri-Wizard tournament. He thought back to what the other contestants did during that day. Distraction, that's what they needed.

Harry went and organised them all. Julie, Tony and he were going to make a distraction while Arnold and Loren climb the tree where the statue was resting. Tony was to transfigure some stones into animals while Julie and Harry were to usher them away from the tree, so Arnold and Loren could climb the tree without the dragon nearby.

Tony transfigured the stones into birds and fast ground animals. Harry and Julie start to control them and lead them away from where the dragon stood. The dragon didn't follow at first. So Harry got some of them to try and attack the dragon, without doing harm to it. It worked and the dragon started to follow them.

Arnold and Loren started up the tree, Arnold stayed on the lower braches while Loren went to the top. He kept an eye out for the dragon. Loren reached the top and took the dragon statue from its resting place. They had done the first task.

Day Three

Another note was left for them, congratulating them on getting the first statue. It told them where the next statue was located. They once again set out and scouted the area. The statue was protected by a large pack of wolves.

One of the wolves picked up their scent and started towards them. Before they could react to the lone wolf it attacked Tony. It wasn't serious; and they quickly got the wolf away from them and went back to camp to attend to the injury. Harry cleaned the wound on Tony's arm and bandaged it up; he cast a couple of spells so it would get infected with anything.

They went back casting spell to cover up their scent. Tony told them that they should once again distract the wolves by shooting bolts of lights through the pack. When they were away from the area then they should bind them allowing one of them to get the statue.

Tony and Arnold took care of the light show, while Harry and Loren started to bind the wolves that came their way. When they had gotten most of the wolves Tony helped Loren with binding them. Harry and Julie went to where the statue was, Harry kept a look out for any wolves that were missed and came back to the area. Julie grabbed the statue and they both went.

Tony, Loren and now Arnold weakened the binding spells so they would shut off in a little while when they were safely out of the area. They went back to camp making sure to cover their trail so the wolves wouldn't follow them.

Day Four

Inside Julie and Loren's tent were two statues a dragon and a wolf, sitting next to each other. Morning came and with it another note. It congratulated them on getting the wolf statue. It then went onto say where the next statue was located.

They packed some supplies and went to scout the area. They came across a large body of water, a lake. The statue must be somewhere underwater as the lake was in the general area of the third statue. Harry once again thought back to the Tri-Wizards tournament. Gillyweed, that's what they needed. It would make things easier while they were underwater. Harry told the others what he was going to look for and told them to look for it to, explaining what it looked like.

Arnold found some growing in the shallows of the lake. Harry then told them what Gillyweed would do to them, as well as how long it would last. He told them some of the spells that would be useful while underwater. Just in case they were attacked by something. They took a bite of the Gillyweed and a few moments later they were underwater swimming towards an area that was brightly lit.

Grindylows came out of the weeds that grew at the bottom of the lake. They shot jets of hot water towards them, making them go red where they hit. They kept their distance from the group, avoiding the scalding jets of water. Harry, Julie and Loren stood guard, while Arnold and Tony went to go and get the statue.

They regrouped with twenty minutes left to get back to the surface. Tony carried the statue while the others protected him, so he would lose the statue. They reached the surface not far from where they had set off into the water. They got out and spelled themselves dry. They went back to camp to make themselves a hot dinner to warm up.

Day Five

They woke up to the note by the barely lit fire; they had stayed up a little later than usual last night, staying close to the fire, to ward of any chill from the lake. It gave them the location of the fourth statue they were to get. They packed and scouted the area.

There was an entrance to a cave in front of them. The statue was within. They lit their wands and walked into the darkened cave. They had been walking for thirty minutes when they came across a Sphinx. It rose up and told them they had to answer a riddle to get past her.

The five tunnels ahead end the same.

Alone in a tunnel you go.

Only all five will get the prize.

Less shall lose this task.

Each shall face their fears alone.

Different though they are.

Same creature it shall be

What is the creature you will fear?

They all thought of their fears, they were all different. But what creature do they fear that's the same.

Loren and Harry shouted as one, "Boggart."

"They take on the shape of our fears, which are different, but it's the same creature," Harry explained to them. The Sphinx smiled at them and let them enter the five tunnels alone.

Harry entered the first tunnel and walked along the wand lit cavern. A Dementor came out of the shadows and towards him, he said, 'Riddikulus,' and with a crack the Boggart exploded.

Tony didn't like the thought of coming across his fear. Trolls he didn't like them and was afraid of them somewhat. The sound of heavy booming footsteps echoed in front of him. 'Think of something funny,' he thought to himself. 'Riddikulus,' the large looming troll was suddenly wearing a pick tutu. With another spell the Boggart exploded into a shower of sparks.

Loren inched forward, aware of every sound that echoed around her. A large hairy leg was seen. She though of something she found funny about her fear, 'Riddikulus,' she shouted and the giant hairy spider ended up rolling around the bumpy cavern floor. Another shout and it to exploded.

Julie walked forward as calmly as she could, she had already thought of something funny for her fear. Hissing echoed around her. The head of a large cobra reared, 'Riddikulus,' she shouted and the cobra turned into a balloon that whizzed around her. 'Riddikulus' and the Boggart exploded.

Arnold walked along slowly looking everywhere making sure nothing would creep up on him. The looming figure of a vampire floated towards him. 'Riddikulus,' he shouted at the top of his voice. The vampire's teeth fell out of his open mouth. Another cry and it explode.

One by one they entered an open area, they all stepped onto a switch that was built into the floor. The large statue that stood high above their heads came down, and with it a statue of a Sphinx. They took the statue and another tunnel opened up to them. They went through keeping their guard up just in case something happened. They made their way back to camp.

Day Six

They had collected four out of four statues so far, a Dragon, a Wolf, a Grindylow, and a Sphinx. They woke up to yet another note telling them where the final statue was located. They packed supplies and went to scout the area they were to find the last statue.

There was nothing there to guard the last statue. The area around it was clear. They looked closely at the statue from a distance to see if it could give them a clue as to what they would be facing. The statue was in the shape of a human. They were going to be up against other wizards and witches.

Harry went towards the statue alone, the others waiting for the attack. He got near the statue and the attack came, spells flew towards him. The rest of the group went around the area stunning anyone they saw. Harry dodged the spell and sent some back to the attackers.

He needed to distract them to give the others more time to stun them. He conjured up his 'pratronus' and sent it towards where the spells were coming from. It worked, it startled them for a few moments, giving the others chance to stun them before they could do anything more.

They escaped back to camp with the statue. They had gathered all five statues. They had the rest of the day free to do what they wanted. Tomorrow they would be going back home.

Day Seven

They packed their belongings, and the statues. Covered the extinguished fire and got ready for their instructor to pick them up. Stephan Byers walked over to the packed group and they were soon on their way back to the Training Facility. They were taken to a classroom and they sat down and waited for their assessment.

They received their assessment in written form. They had done very well. Their tactics had gotten them 85, their team work was 95. The number of statues was 100. They had gotten –10 because of Tony's injury. Their total percentage was 90 giving them an A ranking. They were also the only team to come back with all five statues.

"Well done to you all," Steven congratulated them all. "You have gone in the lead for the Away Week. Most any group has ever gotten was 85 with a B grade."

They looked at each other congratulating themselves. They had a few more practical exams and written ones to come to see whether or not they would past their first year at Auror training.

Well what did you all think. read and review.
