"Great, let's go," the little blonde said as she stood, grabbed Harry's hand, and pulled him out of the kitchen. The others followed. Hermione left and the twins smirked, knowing the resident know-it-all was going to miss something wicked. Luna took them to a nearby classroom and closed the door after they all entered. She waved the boys to sit and tugged Harry to the front of the room. She then took on a teacher's voice and said, "Take out your tricorder."
"Okay," our hero said slowly and pulled out his wand.
"Now, from what you've said you've done over the last week, you have been doing wandless magic," she stated as she paced in front of him. "I want you to take your tricorder, point it at that book and with a flick, like pushing a button, think 'lift', all the while seeing in your mind's eye the book lifting off the table," she instructed as she indicated what book and how high she wanted it in the air. She was almost giddy with excitement. If this worked then there might be a whole new way to teach magic.
Harry shrugged, that was simple enough. He did as told and the book flew off the table about six feet in the air. The twins gasped and started whispering excitedly. Harry flicked his tricorder again and the book lowered back onto the table.
"Very good, now put your wand away, and do the same thing with your finger," came the next order.
The dark-haired amnesiac did as bid and the book lifted three feet this time.
"Wonderful," Luna exclaimed, bouncing up and down, making Harry very glad she left her robes in the kitchen. "Now look at the book and imagine it turning into a… cat," she decided.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Transfigurations can be very important in a fight. The things you turn something into are not real, however they move and act like the real thing. Say you are in the middle of battle and there is a spell coming towards you that you are unprepared for. If you think of the ground, or rock, in front of you as a wall, or a bear, or really anything, it will spring up and take the spell. It is still a rock and will explode like a rock, but you are unhurt," she lectured, pacing back and forth in front of him. His eyes followed her, paying very close attention to every word she said.
"Now the same can't be said for turning a bird into cat. It is still a living bird, but it acts like a cat. If you transform a rat into cup, it is still rat. Destroy the cup and you kill the rat. I don't like living transfiguration," she exclaimed with a huff.
Harry nodded his agreement and promised himself that he would not do that unless it was very important, though for the life of him he couldn't think of any scenario which he would need to. "Right, okay… I can do that," he said as he shook his head to clear his thoughts, and glared at the book. It took a minute, but slowly a cat emerged from the paper. It stretched and laid down to nap, just like a real cat. Then he thought it back into to a book.
"I believe you are going to need to practice that one, but very well done indeed," she praised, clapping her hands and then sobering. "Now this is important, you are the only person in this whole castle, possible the entire wizarding world, that can do these things. That is because you are not hindered by the rules that were drilled into our heads for the minute we learned about magic."
"For us it was the moment we were born. For you, however, because of your amnesia, you're not held up by limits," Luna stated, once again pacing. "This has to stay between just us four, no one can know until you are more proficient," she said, twirling towards the twins, who quickly nodded in agreement.
"Are you saying that I am more powerful than the old man?" Harry asked amazed at the things he just did.
"While I would not use the word powerful, I would say you are more unrestricted," she said thoughtfully. With the animosity Harry had towards the Headmaster, she didn't want him to go head-to-head with the older man. If he hurt Dumbledore, he might regret it if he got his memories back. From what little she knew of the Boy-Who-Lived, he was a kindhearted soul who loved the old man. No, she would not point him in that direction.
"So, you mean we can't do that?" came the disappointed voices of the two redheads.
"Actually, if you can overcome a lifetime of teaching you can do anything you want," she said absentmindedly. The only thing holding her back from being unfettered was the death of her mother playing in her mind when she tried. How did she know that Harry wouldn't suffer the same? Well, her mother knew spells were dangerous, Harry doesn't. If what she was thinking was true, then it was all about mind over matter.
The twins started whispering again as Luna and Harry did a few more amazing things, until the boy believed he could do anything he wanted with his… wand, or even without it. He now firmly believed in magic, since there were no wires or controls on his tricorder, which is what he was going to still call it, if only to piss people off.
"Right, it's getting close to curfew, so we'd better take Harry back to the dorms," George said as he got up and started for the door. He and his brother gone over a few things they could do to become as free as Harry, short of wiping their memories of course. Having witnessed the messy-haired younger boy do things they had been told were impossible, well as the saying goes, 'seeing is believing'.
"Now student, remember don't let anyone tell you what you are doing is impossible. The only thing you cannot do is make food. That is a proven fact. If you try and you eat it, then you will not get the nutrients of real food," she lectured again. She didn't want to add a bar to his learning, but it was established that conjured food had no substance.
"Right, no food, but the sky is the limit," Harry said with a nod of his head. His mind was rapidly going over all the things he had seen on the telly and read in the books. There were thousands, millions, of things he could do. He could turn invisible and wouldn't need the Cloak. He could teleport and wouldn't need the Bus. Over and over his plans were improved.
"I can see that squirrel running 'round in circles in your mind, Harrykins. Come on and we'll suss it all out together," Fred said, taking our hero's arm and leading the dazed boy out of the classroom.
"Wait, Harry," Luna said and came to his side, she then stood on her toes and kissed his cheek. "Thank you. For making me feel special," she said with huge grin.
"You are very welcome, Lovely Luna," the messy-haired wizard stated as he tucked some of her hair behind her ear, leaned down and kissed her cheek, which caused the twins to snicker. "Shut it, you two," he said as he turned, though the grin on his face negated the harsh command.
"Silly boys," the blonde said as she skipped by Harry's side as they made their way down the hall. "Well, here is where I leave you. I hope you have a great adventure," she stated once more standing on her tiptoes and giving Harry a smooch on the cheek. She then turned and went to her dorms, with a spring in her steps.
"See ya, Luna," Harry called after her, and then turned to the chuckling knuckleheads and smirked. "Ah, what a wonderful end of the day," he said, and then waved his hand in a 'lead the way' manner. "So you are related to my supposed 'best mate'," he said questioningly.
