Capture And Break In 4

"You have a lot of nerve, Potter!" Draco said as he walked through the empty corridor with his 2 bodyguards.

"Ah, Malfoy. How are you doing? I thought you were injured from all the brain damage you received," asked Harry in an understanding tone.

"Are you mocking me, Potter! I'll make you pay," said Draco as he pulled his wand out.

"Oh, you learned how to catch your wand and came to show me? Excellent, Draco. Tell me you know something other than uncontrollable snakes," said Harry, pulling his wand out and casting Expelliarmus.

Draco's wand shot out of his hand towards Harry who caught it with expert ease. "Hmm, what to do, what to do?" Said Harry, twirling Draco's wand in his hand.

"Hand my wand back, Potter!" Yelled Draco. Harry knew that shout would make any Banshee proud and smirked at him.

"What are you talking about, Draco? I didn't take your wand. You didn't know how to catch it and dropped it," said Harry as Draco's wand was at his feet.

"WHY YOU!" Draco yelled as his anger for Potter reached a new height. He tried to use some spell, but nothing came to his mind.

"Depulso," said Harry, making a half-circle motion with his wand pointing towards a nearby metal armour. A yellow light came out of his wand and shot towards the metal armour and pushed it towards the fumbling Draco as he was trying to remember any spell.

It pushed him against the 2 bodyguards he had and everyone fell to the ground after a bit of tumbling.

"My father-"

"Will hear about this. I know. Tell him my greetings when you say," said Harry as Draco and his goons ran from him. Harry saw someone around the corner and went to check.

"Neville?" Asked Harry as he saw Neville trying to control his laughter.

"That was great, Harry. You taught that prat a good lesson," praised Neville. Harry remembered how close Neville was to becoming the boy who lived.

"You should come to my table sometime, Neville." He invited and Neville nodded thoughtfully.

"Our House is not the same without you, Harry," said Neville with a look of longing as Harry was one of his friends and dorm mates in Gryffindor.

Harry smiled gently at that. "Don't worry about my absence, Neville. It can't be done any other way. Do all those nitwits treating you well?"

"It's as usual. Though Ron lost most of his grace, others are manageable."

"Harry, who is it?" Asked Padma as she walked up to check on Harry. Neville started to look around nervously, his timid personality showing itself.

"It's fine, Neville. It's just Padma," said Harry, pulling him towards the waiting 2 Claws. They talked for a minute after which Neville has to run to catch the Herbology class while Harry and co went to Charms class.

A Few minutes Later

Charms Classroom

"Harry Potter," called Flitwick, taking roll call.

"Present, Professor," said Harry entering the class with Padma and Terry behind him and hastily took a seat on an empty bench along with other Claws and Puffs.

"Be mindful to arrive in time, students," stressed Flitwick letting Harry and his friends off the hook and everyone nodded.

"Let's start with a little revision. Can anyone tell me about the Banishing Charm?" He asked, standing atop his pile of books. So many hands shot up.

"Yes, Ms Bones,"

"Banishing Charm (Depulso)-" started Susan and continued to explain about it.

"Excellent, Ms Bones. Take 6 points to Hufflepuff. So as we discussed it in the last class, please take your wands and perform it on this," said Professor Flitwick, gesturing to a pile of papers he arranged on a small table.

All the class performed the Charm and after being satisfied by their performance and after they settled, he continued.

"Excellent, Class. Take 3 Points, everyone. Now let's follow it with a Freezing Charm. The Freezing Charm (Immobulus) is a charm that immobilises and stops the actions of the target.

With the use of this charm, the movement of living or animated targets will be stopped. It has so many uses and can also be used as a substitute to stun," explained Professor Flitwick and performed the charm.

Harry knew this as Hermione used it on the Pixies when that dumb peacock released them in their DADA class last year.

She used a powerful version of it to stop them and later locked them in the cage. He knew how to use it as well, but didn't disturb the class.

Flitwick performed it and tasked them to write an essay on other uses for the charm and the class was dismissed after that for lunch.

Harry spent the rest of the day going to all classes and as the day ended, he planned on meeting the twins, after much thought, he came to a startling realisation.

They can't provide him with much info. As all they know is Percy brought Scabbers and since then he became the family rat. Not that anyone expected a rat to be an illegal dead Animagus.
