Chapter 52 - Elementary

Dimension: 563 - Earth
Date: 30h August 2001 AD
Country: France - The French Riviera - Marseeleveyre Mountains
Location: Chateau Delacour
Time: Morning


Several days later in the training room.

"So what is this experiment you want to try out?" asked Harry as he Fleur and Adam waited for the elder Delacour's to arrive "And can we do it quickly, I have a little surprise to prepare for the Beauxbatons students."

"It relates to something I saw shortly after the Beauxbatons simulation and again at the Granger's."

"What?" asked Dimitri as he and his wife entered.

Adam smiled his response before conjuring up a candle with a wave of his hand.

It floated in the air between them and was lit by a click of Adam's fingers.

"Blow out the candle."

Harry screwed up his face in confusion "Why?"

"Please." Asked Adam.

Harry sighed and began to move towards the candle.

"Blow it out from where you were." Adam specified.

Moving back to his starting position he began to draw his wand.

"Without using you wand."

"Any more conditions?" Harry huffed, his annoyance evident.

"No, just those." Replied Adam calmly.

Sighing Harry took a deep breath and blew as hard as he could.

As his breath crossed the two meter distance the flame wobbled before returning to normal.

"Now I know you're doing this just to make me look silly."

"Why not let Delphine try." Suggested Adam.

"Oooooh," said Fleur slowly, a smile spreading across her face as she caught on "Know I understand what you're getting at."

Delphine wore the same smile as she walked up parallel to Harry.

Closing her eyes she took a deep breath before extending her hand forward so it was directed towards the candle.

Taking another breath she quickly turned her hand to the vertical and brought her fingers into a fist, at the same time the candle wobbled and snuffed out.

"How did...." Began Harry before pausing "Why am I asking, I've seen Dumbledore do wandless magic before."

"That was not wandless magic Arry." Explained Fleur "That was Elemental Magic."

"It was what?"

"Elementary my dear Harry." Smiled Adam.

"Oh very funny," replied Harry "Now what is Elemental Magic?"

"It's a natural ability to control an element without any form of magical focus," explained Dimitri.

"Veela have a natural ability to control fire," contributed Adam "As do phoenixes and dragons, just like Merpeople have the ability to control water."

Fleur and Delphine both hissed at the mention of their foes.

"What about air and earth?" asked Harry.

"Wood Nymphs have a variation on earth control that allows then to control trees and plants, Valkyrie's can control air and Snidget's have a partial control of air but that is about it as far as Magical Creatures are concerned with a few minor exceptions, all others having long ago gone extinct."

"What does this have to do with me?" asked Harry "I'm one hundred percent human."

"True, but humans can also be elementals though it is very rare in the Wizarding World."

"What makes you think I can do it?"

"The fire!" exclaimed Fleur, realising what Adam had "It passed right over you without so much as singing your clothes."

"Yes, and not just that, when we were out in the rain I saw you unconsciously bending the rain away from you, not enough to keep you dry but enough to stop you getting soaked."

"As much as I like the sound of more power over Tom how can putting out candles and not getting rained on help me?" asked Harry.

"Elementals can do much more than that Harry," explained Adam "All things considered Veela are very weak Elementals, they have lost much of the skill and ability they once had through lack of practise and interbreeding with humans and other species, no offence intended." He said turning to the Veela present "Thusly as soon as fire leaves a Veela's hand it becomes very difficult for them to control it, which is why Delphine struggled to put out the candle, highly trained elementals can do almost anything you can imagine with their element or elements if they can control more than one."

"Maybe so, but we only have a couple of days until we go back to Hogwarts, I can't learn to control two elements that fast."

"I have a suggestion regarding that," replied Adam "There is a very difficult spell which I can cast to allow you more time in which to learn to control your elemental powers, but I only have the ability to cast it once."

"When do we do it?" asked Fleur.

"We don't," replied Adam "I can't take more than one person, you will have to stay here and experience real time."

"What does that mean?" she asked.

"It means for you barely a day will have passed but for Harry and myself it will be a great deal longer."

"How much longer?" asked Harry, not liking the idea of being away from Fleur for too long."

"However long it takes you to become all it is within you to become."

Harry and Fleur looked at each other worriedly; neither liked the idea of being apart for any length of time.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Harry "Are you sure I can control fire?"

"And water," added Adam "But I will prove it if you want me to."

At Harry's uncertain nod Adam turned to Harry's mate "Fleur, please close your eyes."

Looking confused for a moment Fleur complied.

Harry watched confused as Adam waved his hand in Fleur's direction before bringing his hands together and then separated them, a pointed piece of ice in the gap.

Harry realised what he was about to do just as Adam's hand came back and launched the spear of ice straight at Fleur.

"NO!"

Fleur's eyelids flew open as she heard Harry's words.

She looked up just in time to see a sharp object flying towards her before shattering off to her left as if someone had just slammed a hammer into its side, sending shards of what she thought was ice or glass tumbling to the ground beside her.

Harry watched astonished as the ice shattered and fell to the ground.

"Are you clinically insane!" he shouted "You could have killed her."

"Could I." he replied before firing a blast of magic at Fleur.

It moved too fast for anyone to react but they needn't have worried as it hit a barrier in front of Fleur, crackling over it before dissipating into the air.

"I raised a shield over her before I attacked....just encase. I trust I have proved my point?"

Moving over to Fleur he took her hand in his, needing reassurance after what had just happened, from the look on the faces of Dimitri and Delphine they were also not overly pleased by what they had just witnessed.

"I will also be able to teach you other skills that may help you in the coming war but for now I believe you had a surprise to prepare."

Dimension: 563 - Earth
Date: 30h August 2001 AD
Country: France - Pic Du Thaume
Location: Beauxbatons Academy Of Magic - Great Hall.
Time: Lunchtime


In the Great Hall of the Beauxbatons Tower the students were sitting down to lunch when Professor Radcliffe walked into the room.

"Attention please." he called, waiting for the students to quieten down "Thank you. As you know tomorrow will be my last day at Beauxbatons."

A roomful of students made various noises of disapproval about the idea.

"Thank you, but I intend to make my last day memorable; as it will also be the last day for the seventh years I though why not go out with a bang....literally."

There were excited whispers around the hall.

"We are going to have a Duelling Competition."

The whispers got louder and more excited.

"All students may participate, the winner of each year will face the winners of the other years and then the champion will have two battles with myself and Beauxbatons former Under Eighteens Champion Fleur Delacour, I will then face Miss Delacour and the person to have beaten both opponents will then face the other two at the same time in an all out duel, see the notice board for details. Oh, I almost forgot, I will be giving everyone a little surprise at the end of the competition but I want it to be kept secret from the outside world for twenty four hours after you discover what it is, thusly as you enter the hall for the duelling you will each sign a contract stating that you can not reveal said information for said period of time, after that feel free to tell the world."

Having finished he walked back out of the hall and back in to the corridor, ignoring the excited gossiping of the students.

Waiting just outside the hall he awaited Olympe's arrival thirty seconds later before the pair began walking up the staircase.

"I was beginning to wonder if you were coming, I almost made the announcement myself."

"Sorry about that, I got held up."

"How do you think the competition will turn out?"

"I can almost guarantee that the winner among the students is either going to be Monique or Colleen, followed closely by the 'Nets' but out of the final battles I haven't got a clue. Have you any idea who will teach my subjects when I go?"

"That was something I was going to ask you, who would you recommend out of the seventh years?"

Harry thought for a second before replying "I would say one or more of the 'Nets' for flying and for DAA I would definitely recommend Monique."

"Why not Colleen?" she asked as they rounded the corner towards her office.

"She is a good dueller but she is too easily aggravated and being a Veela that can be very dangerous. Monique is probably the better dueller if you ignore Colleen's Veela abilities and she is a lot more controlled, she would be a very good Professor."

"Very well." Smiled Olympe "I will ask them this evening, they may even want to consider doing EAGLES."

"EAGLES!" shouted Harry, jumping to his feet as he realised "Oh god, I haven't done a thing about my EAGLES, how could I forget."

"Oh yes, that reminds me," smiled Olympe, far too happily "These are for you."

She withdrew a large brown envelope from within her robes and handed it to him; his name was on the front. Looking up at her cautiously he opened it and withdrew the first sheet of parchment from within, the main text of which read:

This certificate verifies that:

Daniel Radcliffe
AKA
Harry Potter

Has completed a Double E.A.G.L.E in Defence Against Assault
at Beauxbatons Academy Of Magic
during the summer of 2001.


"What....I don't...." began Harry as be pulled out the second one which was the same thing for Flying Instruction.

"You don't do anything for an EAGLE Arry, you are observed teaching and your student's grades and attitudes judged. Several times during the summer members of your class have had their memories examined and have actually been replaced temporarily in your classes so that the examiners could judge how you behave when not knowingly being observed....and they decided that you passed."

"But I...."

"Don't complain Arry, you did it, the examination board also wanted me to give you this." She said handing him another piece of parchment "It should help with any problems you may face regarding those qualifications as well as with Dumbledore."

Unrolling the sheet Harry looked down at the sheet, a smile grew on his face as it realised what it could mean.
