Capture And Break In 2

"That's what you need for this. You should be able to imagine yourself turning invisible and feel it to some extent, which is not easy. And there are some more steps. So yeah. Occlumency is going to be key for this. Who knows what else you can find in this training," she said in a haughty tone.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"What! You are doubting your big sis?" She asked dramatically, her head shaking in all directions as if to show her disagreement.

"As if I can," muttered Harry. Mira explained the remaining theory part of Invisibility. Harry went back to reading the now enlarged book as it explained Occlumency final stages.

He also read the introduction to Animagus or Magical Creatures in the book's case and learnt a few things about animals in general. He spent the rest of the time reading the enlarged book and planning.

The important thing is how to catch Pettigrew and not be caught by Ron. He needs to be sneaky and do it before the rat gets the whiff of something wrong.

'Hmm, maybe follow him and catch him when he was running around in the corridors like yes-today?' Thought Harry. He is going through different scenarios and this seemed best for him.

Scabbers can go missing for a while when he was really hungry and Ron knows that and if not, he might believe Crookshankes ate him or something. Not that he cared.

'What else should I plan? Everything was going smoothly. Maybe a retaliation effort from Malfoy? Nah. That idiot isn't that smart and knows he can't stand against me without Snape's help,' Harry thought.

Time went by as he was immersed in the newfound knowledge and his thoughts while Mira left him after seeing that he is calmed down and deep in thought.

The day went by and Harry's alarm rang at 5 in the morning, he woke up and did his regular exercises. He knew most witches and wizards are lazy.

Though he doesn't know whether it is inherited or they are too lazy to do things, he knew one thing. A fit and strong body help in so many ways and he knew it better than anyone.

If only he had the strength, he would have kicked the hell out of his cousin, Dudley or maybe spook him forever from ever trying to bully him.

And with all the experience he had last year, being alone taught him so many things and having a healthy body helps in endurance as well.

Of course, there is the fact of being attractive. But now that he has a girlfriend and another acquaintance, he is not going to think about that.

After all his exercises were done, Harry went to his room in the Ravenclaw tower to prepare for the day.

And as expected, first thing in the morning, his friends came banging his door to know all the juicy bits about his meeting with Dumbledore.

"Come in, guys," Harry called and Padma and Terry walked in with haste.

"What did he say?" Asked Padma, who became more talkative, after she found friendship with Harry and Terry.

"What can I say? He is more elusive than I thought and always talks in riddles," he replied with a shake of his head.

"That's why you are in Ravenclaw. To solve all those riddles. Come on, tell us, Harry," she nudged and Harry nodded.

"Well, he was lovey-dovey when I first went and I thought it was a normal meeting. Alas, it was not. He started smoothly, then steered it towards my house change and friendship with Ron and Hermione."

"Oh, this is going to be interesting,"

"What did you respond with?" Asked Terry.

"I told what you told me and how the Sorting Hat sent me to Ravenclaw. After that his important point came up." Said Harry, pausing to build suspense.

"What is it about?"

"Come on, tell us!"

"About the trial. Apparently, he is 'concerned' for that and asked me to ask his 'advice' if I want to try something like that," Harry said with a callous shrug.

"Typical Dumbledore," said Terry, surprising Padma and Harry. They didn't know he had any experience with the Headmaster that made him feel that way and he began explaining.

"So, he just let them go just because they are Gryffindors and they don't do anything wrong?" Asked an incredulous Harry.

"Don't know why he let them go, mate, but he spoke as if nothing was wrong and it pissed me. You can relate to that, can't you?"

"Ye, I can. I know he let some things go, but letting this off the hook is a new low," replied Harry in worry.

"It can't be helped. We have classes, guys. Let's go," said Padma, pushing them out of Harry's room. Harry was in serious thought and knew she was doing it to divert their attention and they followed her.

Ron and Hermoine knew most of his secrets and Ron didn't help one bit when he knew he wouldn't be the Heir of Slytherin.

Yet he didn't help, becoming part of the tormenting group of Gryffindors. He had enough people playing with his trust so he decided to give it carefully.

He is not going to get played again. As he followed his friends to classes, he observed the same blonde girl looking dreamily at the ceiling.

He was curious about her and like yesterday, he was pulled by Padma from talking to her and decided to talk some other time with her. She is just different from people around him and he knew.

His magic is telling him something, but he can't understand it. He also had plans to meet the twins to talk about Pettigrew.

With these thoughts in mind, Harry had breakfast and went to his first class, which happens to be Transfiguration with Gryffindors.
