Ch 5 58 day boot camp

Over the weekend Harry and what was dubbed the 'posse' by Sirius got to know each other better. Specifically they learned about the two agents that were going to protecting them. They learned that Neville's godfather was Nolan and he had been faking being weak at magic, he was a little below Harry in raw power and spell knowledge. The thing that surprised Harry, Hermione and Susan the most was the fact that both boys were 17 and had glamour necklaces that made them look younger. Also they did not have wands in a traditional since, they still had foci but they were a pair of gloves the two wear that had a gem in the center of them and the traditional wand core embed on the back of the gloves. Grey had a Amethyst for the center of his and a White river monster spine in the core of it, while Nathaniel had Moonstone for his center and a Thunderbird tail feather in his.

When Monday came Harry and the 'posse' walked back into the great hall after spending the entire weekend together and getting to know each other more. All noise had stopped everyone was scared of what happened in the wizengamot chambers. As the group made its way to the Gryffindor table a cry was heard from the table of the snakes.

"YOU BLOODY MURDERS! YOUR FATHER KILLED MY FATHER!"

The group turned and saw Pansy Parkinson standing there with her wand drawn. Nathaniel and Grey stepped in between the the angry witch and the 'posse'.

"Miss Parkinson, your father casted the killing curse with the objective of killing a lord of an ancient and noble house. Also the Minister of magic was standing right next to him. It sounds like you agree with what he did, if you do that is treason and treason is a death sentence by the ministry no matter the age of the person. So what are you going to do?" asked Nathaniel.

Seeing that she was on her own Pansy backed down and sat down. The group sat down at the table and started to eat breakfast, they had a trap that hopped would come into fruition. Not even 30 seconds passed when the target of the trap came barreling down the aisle.

"I will see you removed from the castle you isolate brat," yelled the dungeon bat, "no one threatens a Hogwarts student and gets away with it!"

"Really? Then why is Mister Malfoy still hear? Because I heard that he freely used the term 'Mudblood' in a threatening manner toward students all the time and in front of staff." Asked a stern voice.

Everyone in the hall turned to see the head of the DMLE standing there with a very angry face and behind her two full squads of Aurors.

"Well no one has come forward and said…" started Snape. But before he could finish over ten student stood up and said that they were threatened by Draco. The said ferret had turned pale and tried to deny everything.

"Well, it looks like Mister Malfoy will be accompanying me to his home tonight." smirked Amelia.

"When my father hears about this…." started Draco, but he was interrupted by Amelia. "Your father has his own problems. He under investigation by both the DMLE and Gringotts for bribery and is an accessory to the attempted end of a line."

Snape was between a rock and a hard place. On one hand he could get ride of a bodyguard for Potter but it would see Draco out of the school as well. He looked to the staff table for help and saw that Dumbledore was about to intervene but stopped.

Growling Snape backed down and said that he with drew his complaint. Amelia nodded and gave her niece a quick hug and left the hall. The noise level elevated as the gossip was being thrown around. Near the end of the meal Professor McGonagall came down the aisle along with the Professor Sprout and handed the four Hogwarts' students there schedules. Taking a look at them they saw that Harry, Hermione and Neville had Herbology first and Susan had DADA.

"Mr. Potter the headmaster wants you to see him in his office right after breakfast. The password is Chocolate Pudding" Said the stern transfiguring mistress.

Nodding his head Harry went back to his meal as the professors went and sat back down at the staff table. Once the group finished their meal they all stood up and walked to the doors. As they made it out Grey and Susan made their way to DADA with the others going to the head masters office. Giving the password the four made their way into office.

"Ah Harry you came, and you brought other people with you." said the headmaster.

"Yes sir. One is my girlfriend, one is my bodyguard and the last is one of my most trusted allies." answered the dark haired boy.

"Yes, well I asked you here today to see what you thought about the ending of Sirius trial?"

"I was impressed that you condemned a man for protecting the head of our government and a head of an ancient and noble family. Because of the quick actions of Nolan we didn't lose them. I realised that I need that type of training so I can survive fighting Tom."

"Violence breeds violence Harry." said the old man.

Snorting Nathaniel added his two cents worth. "That type of thinking almost lost you the first war. I have read all the reports we could get. Stunning an enemy will only see you get attacked in the back."

Seeing that this was not going to go anywhere Dumbledore dismissed them to class. He would have to see if Severus could get anything out of them. As the four made their way down the hall Nolan checked the time and saw that the gryffindor's were still herbology. When the group made it there they saw that Professor Sprout was in the middle of reviewing last year's course and going over what they were going to be doing this year.

After the class ended the group moved toward the dining hall and sat at the Hufflepuff table. Harry saw Susan looked shaken and asked what happened in DADA. Looking up at him she latched onto him and started bawling. Hermione felt the ugly green monster of jealousy rear it's ugly head, but before it could do anything Grey told them what happened.

"Moody showed the three unforgivables in class today." said the pissed young man.

Hermione was taken back by that statement and sat down next to her and rubbed Susan's back as she sobbed. The rest of the Hufflepuffs saw one of their own crying and were glad that she had people to comfort her. While this was going on Professor Sprout showed the great hall what a badger could do when pissed. She was chewing out Moody and Dumbledore behind a silencing ward.

Once Susan calmed down enough she looked and saw all of her house being supportive of her and the guests at their table. Cedric stood up and moved toward the group and put a hand on Susan's shoulder smiling at her, he then turned to the three lions and two agents.

"Thank you for being there for her. You have mine and my house's thanks and gratitude."

Nodding at the 7th year Harry answered, "Well it looks like she will be my sister by the end of the school year. I stick up for my friends and family."

After the excitement at lunch the rest of the day was boring. At dinner the group was sitting at the lion's table with the added bonus of a badger. During history of magic harry debated an idea and wanted to run it by his two guards.

"Hey Nathaniel can we add some more people to our training schedule?" asked Harry.

The agent thought it over in his head and had a question, "Who do you have in mind?"

"Well… I was thinking of Cedric and the Weasley twins. I met Cedric over the summer and got to know him briefly, I believe that he will be a very strong ally in the future. Fred and George haven't turned their backs on me, they are a lot smarter than anyone gives them credit."

Nathaniel was debating Harry's question over in his head. For Cedric you had a strong and agile man the only problem he saw was his dad is friends with Arthur Weasley. The Twins were an enigma, they were Weasley's and that didn't sit well with Nathaniel. The Weasley's are a very outspoken supporter for Dumbledore. However it seemed like that those two redheads are frowned upon by the rest of the Weasley clan. Nodding his head at Harry he told him to notify them to meet them on the seventh floor across from the scene of a man teaching giants to dance after dinner.

When dinner was over the nine people made their way to the seventh floor. Once they made it to the spot Grey paced back and forth, when he did it the third time to metal doors appeared. Everyone from Hogwarts was taken back, hear was a room that appeared out of nowhere.

"Um...where did that room come from?" asked Hermione.

Smirking at the witch Grey answered, "When Hogwarts was built every founder built their own rooms. This is Gryffindor's room, he made it so that it would transfigure to what anyone wanted. As Harry can tell you Slytherin made the Chamber of Secrets. Ravenclaw made the restricted section in the library and Hufflepuff made the kitchens."

Opening the door to the room he thought of everyone saw that he ordered a gym. It has a mile and half track around the perimeter of it, the center was lower than the track by ten feet. It was split up into two halves, one half was a pool and the other side had workout equipment. Near the pool was male and female locker rooms.

"Ok everyone, we will be training you on how to fight here. First we need to first get you into top physical condition. Cedric, Fred and George we understand you were invited here to participate. This is not a mandatory thing but I do suggest to take us up on the offer. Now Voldemort is not dead and Harry will need all the help he can get to stand up to him. You three need to make the decision, stand with Harry, help that bastard or do nothing." said Nathaniel.

Cedric started to weigh his options. On one hand he didn't have Quidditch this year because of the Tri-wizard tournament. On the other hand he was wanting to start a relationship with Cho Chang, wait was he really going to put a girl over getting stronger to defend the wizarding world. He thought of his grandfather who fought in the army during world war 2. He had left the woman that he loved behind to fight in the war, not for glory but because it was right. Cedric found new sense of courage and said that he was willing to fight beside Harry against any evil.

Looking over at the twins they didn't need to think about it, they would follow the Boy-Who-Lived to the ends of the earth. With everyone in agreement Grey and Nathaniel laid out what the training schedule would be. The rest of September they would do physical workouts only, then October would be spells and equipment training with physical training mixed in, November and the rest of the year would be tactical training with review of other work. They all agreed to meet up after dinner and train until curfew every day, on weekends they would do homework during the morning and then have free time in the afternoon with training after dinner.

The first week was hell for everyone but Nathaniel, Grey and Neville. As everyone else got accustomed to the training the agents from the Pinkerton's agency noticed that everyone had their role. Harry was a natural leader, he helped and encouraged everyone during the workouts. Hermione was the brains of the group, she also advised Harry in the training and in class. Neville was the brawler, after he dropped the glamor permanently he had every girl outside their group trying to date him. The twins came up with ideas to do, surprisingly enough they had hidden their brains behind their pranking. Susan showed that she had a natural talent for healing and made sure that everyone was in top condition. Cedric showed that he could adapt to any situation as needed, that combined with his reflexes made him a force to be reckoned with. After three weeks the group faced its first problem and it all happened because of a little blond girl.

Flashback

As the group was heading up to the seventh floor for training they rounded a corner and saw a cite that made everyone stop. On the ground was a frighten blond girl and standing around her was two fifth year Ravenclaw girls.

"What a loony freak." said the one of them.

"Yeah, who would want someone that spouts on about imaginary animal all day." said the other one.

Cedric recognized that voice, it was Cho Chang. He saw that the blond girl on the ground was Luna Lovegood, his neighbor from home. Yes the girl seemed a little shy and said that she saw different animals and the such but he knew that she did that so that she wouldn't be lonely. Looking over at the rest of the group he saw that they had already decided what to do. Looking back at the girl he thought he like he realised that he could never be with a person that bullied others. Pulling his wand he readied to take the two bullies down.

"Cho what are you doing?" Asked the Hufflepuff.

Both girls turned around to yell at who dared to interrupt them. When they saw seven wands and two gloves they paled.

"Cedric! Wha? I um…" Before she could finish her wand was blasted out of her hand and summoned into Cedric's hand. The other girl, who was identified as Marietta Edgecombe, had her wand blasted out of her hand and summoned into Grey's hand.

With his wand pointing at Cho, Cedric beckoned the young girl to stand up and come with them, when she did he recognized her as Luna Lovegood. Hesitantly Luna stood and shuffled toward the Hufflepuff. When she got close enough they saw that she did not have any shoes on. Cedric tossed Cho's wand over his shoulder and swept up the blond girl in his arms and carried her bridal style. Turning his back on the two Ravenclaws he made his way down to the infirmary. He vaguely noticed that the rest of his group formed up on him and acted like a protection detail.

When the group made it to the infirmary Cedric was directed by Madam Pomfrey to lay Luna on a bed. When he tried she tightened her hold on to him and made a panicked noise. Looking up at the medwitch Cedric was at a lost on what to do. Smiling fondly at the young man Pomfrey ran the diagnostic spell on them both and ruled out his magical signature. The spell indicated that Luna was only suffering from sores on her feet from not where shoes and walking around.

The doors to the infirmary burst open and in walked Professors Sprout and Flitwick along with Cho and Marietta. "Why were my students attack Mr. Diggory?" Yelled the small the small professor.

Turning to look at the group that came in and with Luna still in his arms the tall seventh year show everyone why you don't mess with a badger when it is pissed. "That's what I was wondering myself Professor! Why did you let one of your house be bullied by her housemates? Look at Luna and you can see that she doesn't have any shoes. For being the head of the 'smartest house' you can be really blind and dumb toward your own house."

Everyone took a step back at the anger that came off this young man. The tiny Professor was at a loss, not many know this but because of his small size he was bullied in school until he could defend himself. Shamed that he had let this happened he vowed to see to the bottom of this.

End of flashback

A couple of days later everyone was shocked, except Harry and his posse. The Ravenclaws points went from their current standing to one point. At dinner that night it was announced what had happened. Due to bullying inside the house Professor Flitwick had taken all but one point away from his own house he had also sacked the entire prefect team from his house and the entire quidditch team as well. Everyone but a certain Indian witch was ashamed at what they had done, she was proud that she did not partake in the bullying the rest of her house did.

Ever since that incident Luna would always accompany the group to their extra trainings and participated in them. As time kept marching on so did the training, September ended and everyone, except Luna who started later, was in top physical condition. In October they started learning new spells, firearm and close combat training. Everyone was excited to learn how to use the firearms and close combat weapons effectively.

Each person was assigned a firearm to use by what their skill was. Harry, Cedric, and Neville were given Sten SMGs with silencers attached to them. The twins were made into a weapons team and had two different guns that they used, the first was a Bren LMG and the other was a Boys anti-tank rifle mark 2 both were charmed to reduce recoil on them. Hermione and Luna made up a sniper team with both ladies having Enfield mark 2's with scopes that were charmed to able to see at night as well as day. Last but not least Susan was trained as a combat medic and was given an Ithaca model 37 with a pistol grip. Everyone was given a webley revolver to use as a side arm.

At the same time they were given trainings on close combat weapons and shown how to store them in a pocket dimension. Harry had somewhat an advantage over everyone else, he had a scottish claymore that was gifted to the head of the Potter family after the goblin rebellion of 1612. The beautiful sword was goblin made and was inscribed along the blade with the words "Fight for the living, fight for the dead". The head at the time, Ralston Potter, had help broker a peace between the two sides of the rebellion. The length of the sword was five foot long and the blades width was two and half inches wide.

The others were given their weapons based on their skills. Cedric was given a cavalry saber that was three and half foot long, he found that it was perfect for him because it could be combined with flying on a broom and be deadly. Luna, and Susan was given Rapiers to use in one hand and a dagger in the other hand, once they were trained in it they became like lighting with their speed and agility. Hermione found that a boar spear was right up her ally, it allowed her to strike and keep her distance which made her very happy. Both twins were given hook swords and adapted them very well, once they had some training they were very hard to beat when they worked together. Neville had the most versatile and easily hidden weapon, gauntlets with spikes along the knuckles of the glove. Everyone was also given a knife to use as a backup incase they lost or broken their other weapon during a fight.

Before the group knew it October 30th was upon them. Everyone was excited the two other schools were going to be arriving anytime now. Potter's posse, the name that Ron had given the group as a sarcastic mark, were waiting together as they rarely left each other sides outside of class. Nolan was hoping that his cousin was in the Beauxbatons' contingent, he had not seen her in awhile. Neville hopped his betrothed was in the contingent as well, he hadden seen her in two years. Hermione, Luna, Harry and Cedric saw the carriage first and pointed it out.

Once the massive carriage landed and stopped the door opened and out came a man who unfolded steps and helped the rest of the passengers disembark from the carriage. First out was a very tall woman, she had to be a half-giantess thought most of the Hogwarts contingent. As the two educators greeted each other the french students started to form up in groups. Almost every male student at Hogwarts was looking at only one of the french students with lust. The only ones that were not was Nolan, Grey, Harry, Cedric, the twins and surprisingly Neville. The object that had every male student at Hogwarts was a blond woman named Fleur Delacour.

She was used to it by now and ignored it, she had been taught by her mother and grandmother how to ignored 'simple minded' men. She looked out into the crowd and spied the person she was looking for. Without a care in the world she ran toward him to hug and kiss him. As she passed a very confused Nolan, who had hopped to greet his cousin he turned to see her target and widen his eyes. There in front of everyone she was kissing and hugging her target very adamantly, one Neville Longbottom.
