"Because I hexed James after he hexed me" Sirius grumbled.
"And what did you learn?" she asked expectantly.
"That muggle wedgies should not be given magically" Sirius sighed, although the smirk he wore contradicted his opinion on the matter.
"And that grin is why I still have your wand" Dorea pointed out.
Sirius pouted again. "Can you at least warm up my drink" he pleaded as both James and Charlus entered the kitchen.
"No" Dorea answered simply and took a sip of tea.
Sirius looked affronted by the very though of drinking cold hot chocolate and looked towards Harry pleadingly.
"Alright" Harry chuckled as he picked up Sirius's mug and warmed the contents before passing it back to the boy.
Sirius just stared at him incredulously.
"What?" Harry questioned.
"You just did wandless magic" Sirius stated disbelievingly. "Can you teach me?" he asked excitedly.
"I can try" Harry agreed. "But there are very few people capable of doing it and it's very limited to certain spells" he warned. Sirius nodded enthusiastically.
"He's going to teach me how to do a patronus" James cut in eagerly.
"You can do that?" Dorea questioned with raised eyebrows.
Harry just nodded.
"I want to learn that too" Sirius piped up. Harry just shook his head and chuckled again. "I'll teach you too" he conceded. "But again it takes a lot of power to be able to do it" he explained.
"Can I see?" Sirius asked keenly.
Harry shared a look with James who nodded his consent. Harry didn't want to give away the boy's secret to his parents, he was sure they would not be happy to learn that he had been dabbling in potentially dangerous magic. He flicked his wand into his hand and released his stag, that cantered around the room looking for any signs of danger.
"Prongs" Sirius whispered, his eyes wide in awe.
His statement fortunately went unnoticed by the two older Potter's as they too were enraptured by the ethereal creature bounding audibly around the room, bathing it in warmth and a bright white light.
After a few moments Harry ended the spell and Sirius stared at him and shook his head.
"You have to teach me that" he all but demanded.
"I will when we get to school and you have your wand back" Harry agreed with a smirk.
Sirius huffed at the reminder that he did not have his wand. "What is in your wand Harry?" Charlus broke in. "You said you outgrew your old one" he reminded the teen.
"I did" Harry sighed. "I had to have this made for me" he explained. "It's ebony and purple heart fused together with amethyst" he said, indicating the wand in his hand.
"And the core?" Charlus inquired further.
"Thestral hair and Ukrainian Ironbelly heartstring" Harry answered.
Charlus let out a low whistle.
"I've never heard of Thestral hair in a wand" he mused. "Nor Ukrainian IronBelly for that matter" he added with a shake of his head.
"Aren't they extinct?" Dorea asked with a frown.
Harry nodded. "You can still get the parts though if you know where to go" he shrugged.
Dore just shook her head.
"So what are you boy's planning today?" she questioned with a slight suspicious tone to her voice.
"Quidditch" James answered immediately. "I want to see how good Harry is on a broom and see if he takes after his talented older brother" he elaborated with a grin.
"Do be careful" Dorea implored. "Your father and I will be going to the alley today to collect your school things" she informed them.
"Can't we go?" James asked with a frown.
"Harry is going to draw a lot of attention to us James" Charlus pointed out. "We'd rather wait until you are back at school before we have to deal with it all" he explained. "It's ok" Harry cut in. "You can all go, I still need to do my spell work" he offered, happy that he could have a chance to do it alone.
"Are you sure?" Dorea queried. "We do need to get James fitted for new robes?" she mused aloud.
"It's fine" Harry assured her. "I've got everything I need except for my books" he added genuinely.
"Ok" Dorea reluctantly agreed. "We won't be too long, go and get yourselves ready" she instructed both James and Sirius.
The two left the table to prepare for their trip and Dorea turned to Harry.
"There is a training room in the basement you can use for your running and whatever else you need" she informed him reluctantly, not enjoying the fact that the boy was pushing himself the way he was. "You should be able to use any spell you want, just no Fiendfyre" Charlus warned.
"Fiendfyre?" Dorea whimpered.
"Come one love, let's get ready ourselves" Charlus suggested, leading his wife from the room.
