Chapter 96 - 96- Luna’s first wandless lesson

Harry's POV

It was a week later that Harry's new schedule was created.

Every day he would start with workout 5:00-7:00 am, then he would have a quick breakfast before going to the ROR and usie the Time Turner to go back in time to 3 am before taking a shower, consume his entire magical energy in ½ an hour and use 3 hours to research the body type he is going to choose and have a second, larger breakfast.

He then spend his time in classes in which he usually read either advance material or his muggle studies while having a notice me not charm on, or, in rare cases like potions (because he need the hands on experience and Snape keeps an eye on him), charms (because he truly likes the professor), comc, as the creatures are extremely interesting, and DADA (because he need the hands on experience) he actually listen and participate in the class as long as it's not a simple information dump.

After every class with the exception of astronomy he goes back two hours have something to eat, and work on one of his projects.

In between classes he make sure to eat and then he either take a nap or continue to work on his control with the coils, with the exception of Wednesday afternoon, when he teach Luna wandless magic.

Saturday and Sunday are still mostly for blacksmithing and conversations with Snape.

The only problems in his schedule are the erratic times he need to help the professor with his potion.

Flashback (Luna's first lesson)

"The first thing you need to understand about my way of wandless magic is that it probably isn't the way the magical people of old used to cast, it also isn't the way wizards and witches cast today, with or with out wands. In fact, as far as I know, I am the only one who casts that way, but once you get caught to the level you are in the regular way of using magic, it will be hard to go back to use the other versions."

Seeing Luna with glowing eyes, he started explaining.

"My way of using magic is based around three things- intent, control and knowledge.

Intent is the easiest to explain as it is the most similar to the regular method, you need to know what you want to happen for it to work properly, you need to be able to imagine it, otherwise it wouldn't work.

The difference is that in the regular version you have magical words other people created to guide you, so even without imagination you can do it, even if poorly.

In wandless magic, and I'm not sure it's just my way, while saying the words might help you focus, you have to do the imagination to actually succeed, which make it necessary to have extremely strong Occlumency to succeed in hard magic or any magic during battle.

So I will give you several types of Occlumency of which you can work on till you become an expert."

After this he gave her quick summary of three of the four kinds he combined (leaving outside the first kind he created) before she chose the trap Occlumency as, in her words 'nargles are extremely frightening to experience'.

"The second thing is control, something that you shouldn't have a problem with, considering you train with the coils.

While control is important, it is only needed for delicate charms, transfigurations and potions, for things like a basic charm, or a patronus, you only need to get as much power as you can while blasting your magic out.

Finally, we have knowledge, this is the most important thing in my way of magic as it is the base of it all.

My way works on understanding the rules of the world, as by understanding them you can work with them and manipulate them.

For example - levitation.

How can things levitate?

You change the gravitation around the object so it floats or have an invisible hand hold it, it doesn't matter the answer, but it have to make sense!

You can't have an answer that it works because it's magic.

Then you have to explain to yourself how it works- like the hands are made from the particles in the air or the gravitation field of the earth is being weakened around the object.

Basically, the method isn't only about convincing yourself and magic it is real, it's about finding answers to the questions about the universe.

End flashback

After the lesson Harry game Luna notes he made about charms and transfigurations that explained how to do them before agreeing to have once a week a session of studying together.
