Harry Potter and The
Dementor's Blade

Chapter One: The Start of Summer:

The ride from Kings Cross to Little Whinging was uneventful to say the least. When the car pulled in to the drive way, Harry got out and lugged his school trunk and bird cage to his room. Once Harry put his things down on the floor and opened the window for Hedwig's arrival. Harry then sat down on his bed to think about events of last school year, losing his godfather, and the toad face Ministry weenie, the Order and the damn prophecy. Harry thought about how in hell and I supposed to kill Voldemort. For hours Harry sat thinking about these same things over and over, until Harry was called down to have dinner by Aunt Petunia.

Harry walked slowly down stairs to find Uncle Vernon was reading a newspaper and Dudley was watching one of his television shows. Aunt Petunia said "Potter set the table so we can eat." Harry went in to the kitchen and got out the silver wear and sat the table. Aunt Petunia served her meat loaf special. At dinner no one even talked much less looked at Harry once. Harry finished his plate of meat loaf and went to wash his plate and then go back to his room. Harry decided instead of brooding, he would read one of his defense books called "Dueling those that Play Dirty" Harry read the book until he fell asleep. Harry did not get a peaceful night sleep that night. Harry dreamed about the Department of mysteries, and Voldemort laughing while killing Harry's family and friends. Harry woke up around six in the morning and decided to pick up were he left off yesterday reading about using Transfigurations, Transfigurations was useful because it is mostly unblock able by shield charms. Around eight a clock Harry went down stairs to have a little breakfast. As Harry was sitting down to eat his breakfast an owl flew into the kitchen and landed in front of Harry. Uncle Vernon yelled "what is the meaning of this?" Harry looked at his Uncle for a second then back down at the back of the letter, which had a Ministry seal on it. Harry opened the letter and read.
Dear Mr. Potter

The Wizengamot have passed a new decree with accordance of the Intonation Confederation of Wizard's Statue of Secrecy section J subsection 12. Have passed in to law allowing the Ministry of Magic in England to grant the privilege of allowed use of under age magic and grant temporary Apparation license to selected students. The reason for this new law is because of the return of You-Know-Who and because some students are high risk targets.

You Harry James Potter are henceforth allowed to use magic out side of Hogwarts School of Which Craft and Wizardry, as long as not in site of Muggles unless of dire need. You may use magic freely in front of your family. As of now you have an Apparation permit to learn Apparation from a license Adult until you take and pass the Apparation test at the Ministry of Magic testing center and then attain a temporary Apparation license.

Yours sincerely,
Singed Minster Fudge

Uncle Vernon yelled "what is this, are they going to throw you in jail or what?" Harry handed the letter to Uncle Vernon. Vernon grabbed the letter and read it. A minute later he went pale and asked "D-Does this mean you can use m-mmm-magic now"? Harry nodded his head yes and grabbed the letter and ran off to his room. Harry for the first time in a week was some what happy. Harry picked up the book that he was reading earlier so he could try out some of the spells that where in the book until Harry heard the door bell. A minute or so later Harry heard Uncle Vernon, yell "Boy a freak is here to see you." Harry grabbed his wand and ran down stairs, and found Professor Dumbledore standing in the entrance hall. Professor Dumbledore said "good morning Harry how are you doing this morning, any thing new happen today" While Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. Harry just nodded his head yes and asked "What are you doing here sir?" Dumbledore said "is there some where more private we can talk?" Harry said "follow me to my room sir." Harry led Dumbledore to his bedroom and placed a silencing charm on the door and asked "is this suitable sir?" Dumbledore said "Yes Harry this is suitable and nice touch with the silencing charm. I want to talk to you about a proposal to you. After last years mistake's that I have made, I will not try to make any more decisions on your behalf. But you may still seek any advice you want or need from me. The proposal is to setup a training program that might help you defend your self and your mind. That is one of the reasons why I pulled a lot of favors to allow some students to use under age magic out side of Hogwarts. You would be trained in what I call adaptive dueling." Harry asked "what is adaptive dueling and is it hard to learn?" Dumbledore smiled and said "adaptive dueling is not hard to learn but the more you know about magic then the better. You your self right now, with just the spells you know right now could use adaptive dueling. Adaptive dueling is, is dueling is knowing how to use every single spell you know in a duel. Your first homework assignment would be to write down every spell and skill you have and figure out how they could be used in a duel. But if you choice to take summer lessons form the order then you will learn skills that will make you a formable opponent, Occlumency, casting spells silently, and how to duel with out use of your eyes and other helpful skills." Harry thought to him self that this would be perfect, instead of moping around I could learn how to defend myself and my friends. Harry said "Sir, I will take you up on your offer of summer lessons." Dumbledore nodded and said "Good Harry, for now on your training will take place in Mrs. Figg's basement, for some reason I don't think the Dursley's would want us around there house. Now here is your training schedule for the summer." Harry took the card and read it over.

Now why don't we go over to Mrs. Figgs place and I will show you where you will be training for the time being. Harry nodded took out his wand out and canceled the silencing charm and then followed Professor Dumbledore down to Mrs. Figgs house. Five minute later Harry was standing in Mrs. Figgs living room. Mrs. Figg asked "How are you doing dear? Have the Dursley's been feeding you?" Harry said "I guess I am doing alright and yes the Dursley's have been feeding me." Mrs. Figg said "Well that good dear, I will be making up some sandwiches while you and Albus take a look around in the basement." Than she walked off to the kitchen leaving Harry and Dumbledore alone in the living room. Dumbledore said "This way Harry follow me." Dumbledore led Harry down an old set of stairs into a plain gray room with nothing but a table and two chairs in one corner. The rest of the room was empty. Dumbledore said "This room has been charmed so you can duel safely and not have to worry about muggles seeing or hearing a thing." After Harry look around the room Harry asked "does my training start tomorrow since it will Monday?" Dumbledore said "Yes it does you have Tonks first thing in the morning at eight. Now let's head up stairs to have some sandwiches then I will have to leave." Professor Dumbledore led the way up the stairs to the living room. Dumbledore grabbed a sandwich and said "Sorry you two but I have a meeting to attend to now, I will be seeing you Friday." With a silent pop and Dumbledore was gone. Harry finished off two sandwiches and walk back to the Dursley's. When Harry walk in the house he was meet by Uncle Vernon. Vernon yelled "Boy I am warning you now, I don't care what your government says. You will NOT use any m-mm-magic in this house do you understand me boy?" Harry quickly drew out his wand and said "unless you like a pig's tale like Dudley got a few years back, you will get the hell out my way NOW." Vernon paled then he stocked off to the living room. Harry walk up to his room shut and charmed the door locked and pulled out and read "Dueling those that Play Dirty" until dinner time. Dinner was derived by Aunt Petunia via the cat flap on the door. A few hours later Harry feel asleep while reading his book.
