Chapter 154 - Training the girls (1/2)

Despite his recent closeness with Hermione, he was still wary of showing the room of requirement to her and the other two girls.

But now that they had mȧturėd a little bit, he wanted to teach them Dueling but had no place do so.

Which was why he emptied one of the abandoned rooms and filled it with runes and charms that would help in a duel and make sure to protect the duelists from any heavy injuries.

It took him two whole days to complete the room at which point he simply named it the Dueling Room.

And then he sent a message to their Magical Phones to come to this room after the lunch and waited.

Thankfully the three of them arrived together in time.

Despite being his friends, they knew better than to make him wait when he was the one trying to help them.

”Harry. Why did you call us?” Hermione asked curiously as she skipped into the room and gave him a hug.

He could see Penelope and Daphne looking at each other with a smirk but decided to ignore them.

”Because I've decided that it's time you start learning how to fight.” He said seriously and her eyes widened for a moment before she started to bite her lower lip with nervousness, looking quite adorable once again without even trying.

”Are you sure Harry?” she asked and he gave a nod.

Hermione nodded at that, still looking a bit unsure before Penelope patted her on her back ”Come on Hermione. You're a genius in your class so it shouldn't be too hard for you.”

Daphne walked forward, maintaining her stoic expression and asked ”So what will you teach us here?” she asked and he grinned at her before taking out the schedule he had prepared for them.

You'll learn one simple spell each day for the first two weeks and learn how to cast that spell while moving around. And then you'll have dodging practice.

”Dodging Practice?” Penelope asked with some trepidation and he grin turned even wider.

”Yes. I've created 9 golems in such a manner that once they're charged with enough magic, they would be able to fire weak stinging hexes at you.” He explained.

”Each of you will be surrounded by 3 golems for five minutes and will be continuously bombarded by those weak and slow stinging hexes.”

”The speed of the hexes will be very slow on the first day and will start to increase as the days pass by until they're as fast as ordinary spells and curses cast by a regular auror.” He said.

”That still doesn't explain why you're teaching us to fight Harry.” Hermione said ”Are we in any kind of danger?” she asked with a worried gaze.

”No Hermione. You're not in any kind of danger. But as you know, my inventions will bring a lot of changes in the magical world.” He said ”And some people in the society might not like those changes.”

”So yes, you're not in any immediate danger but you might be in danger in the future because of your friendship with me so I want you girls to learn how to fight in case any of you were ever attacked in the future.”

The girls gave a nod and told nodded back before telling them to form a line in front of three targets.
