Chapter 70:
Harry rolled his eyes. As if he would leave his wand behind; true, he was proficient with wandless magic, but Sirius didn't know that.
Entering the room after Sirius, Harry looked around and saw how much the room had been upgraded; he had only entered it once in his last life. Now, the room had a row of practice dummies and a power gauge, meaning they could have the difficulty altered depending on who was using them. There was also a raised platform and a small selection of daggers and other physical weapons.
Sirius darted into the room and spun around. "It's brilliant in here, isn't it?" he asked Harry.
Harry smiled at his excitement and nodded. "Was it like this when you were younger?" he asked.
"Back then it was more basic. Your goblin friends really did a great job."
Harry nodded and went to inspect the power gauge. Seeing Harry's attention waver, Sirius came over. "You can use them but I would prefer it if you waited for either me or Remus to be around," he told the small looking boy.
Harry nodded. He didn't plan on doing that as it would be difficult to explain his prowess, but what they didn't know wouldn't harm them.
Sirius grinned and set up a single dummy for Harry to use, putting it on the lowest setting. Harry resigned himself to fighting a child dummy and flicked his wrist so his wand was out. Racking his brain, Harry thought of a simple spell chain a child should be able to do: a simple blasting and stunning combination. Sirius took a step back when he felt Harry's magic. His small godson was deceptive. He had such control over his magical core that he could go undetected unless he unleashed his power. The control and speed in which he could wield his magic was advanced; his finesse was like somebody already of age, not a nearly twelve-year-old.
"Well, you make me look like a novice," he joked.
