It was the last week of November and Harry had finally made a decision on teaching Penny and Tonks his method of Wandless Magic. It had been three days since he'd told his two closest friends he'd think about it and now they were coming to meet him in his hidden workshop for his answer. He'd thought long and hard about his answer and hoped they'd be alright with it. A knock on the door let him know his friends had arrived and he let them in a moment later.
"Afternoon Harry, I take it your homework is already done?" Penny asked getting a smile from Harry. Penny would always be the consummate Prefect.
"Yes Penny, just like I always do." Harry replied and it was true. He had found that with a bit of effort most homework assignments could be finished within a day or so of them being assigned. Only longer projects needed more time to complete. This is how Harry was able to maintain his schoolwork and still practice his Magic and his Enchanting.
"Wotcher, Harrikins, your Tonksie has arrived." Tonks teased as she pulled him into a side hug. Harry sighed and just accepted the hug since there was no way to discourage Tonks' teasing so he was trying to learn to roll with it.
"Good to see you too, Tonks." Harry smiled as Tonks let him go and moved over to sit next to Penny. Deciding to get to the heart of the matter Harry took a deep breath and started.
"So I've been thinking about teaching you both Wandless Magic, the method I stumbled upon to discover it and giving you basic instruction on casting spells without a focus." Harry began getting both Tonks and Penny to perk up slightly. "If you're willing to put in the work and listen, then I'll be willing to teach you since you two are my closest friends." He finished getting surprised looks from both girls before Penny gave him a warm smile and Tonks shot up from her chair with a cheer.
"Hell yeah! You're the best Harrikins!" Tonks exclaimed as she quickly rushed over to him and pulled him into a hug. Then she started repeatedly kissing his cheeks in an overly dramatic way.
"Tonks, stop it, let go you crazy girl!" Harry struggled only for Tonks to laugh and hug him tighter. Penny sighed as she stood up and made her way over to help Harry get out of Tonks' arms. After separating the two Harry began their impromptu first lesson. "What do you two know about Occlumency?"
"I know it's Magic to protect the mind. I've tried to learn a bit since my mum knows it and she says it'll help me get into the Aurors after school." Tonks replied.
"I've only seen it mentioned in a few books." Penny answered having only briefly read about the obscure branch of Magic.
"Well I found a journal and some school books that were my mother's when I was eight. She'd left detailed notes on a lot of Magical Subjects as well as her own thoughts, opinions and theories. Occlumency was one such subject. I was worried that someone could read my mind so I tried to learn it. It took months before I was able to make any headway, but I was eight, so clearing my mind was difficult and entering a meditative state was challenging. Once I'd finally gotten to the meditative point something was different. Instead of thinking nothing I found my consciousness in a dull void with multitudes of blueish-white and purplish-black orbs. After a while of experimenting I learned that these two colors could merge together to make a silvery-grey orb that was twice the size. I eventually made the decision to merge all of the orbs together pair by pair until only one remained. Immediately after I did that the new large orb pulsed, for lack of a better term, and I was knocked out of my meditative state. I slept almost instantly for over an hour and a half before waking up feeling, I don't know, lighter or stronger, maybe? But I was still exhausted so I went to bed and ended up sleeping for over ten hours."
"So that's how you can do Wandless Magic? You found some way, through Occlumency, to mess with your Magic directly?" Penny asked trying to get some clarification.
"That's my best theory. The dull void is apparently a magical representation of one's mind and Magic. By bringing all of my free floating Magic together into a single, I guess you could call it a core, it synced up with my body and that lets me access it even without a focus. Though I believe I made a single mistake between my attempts at Occlumency and what traditional Occlumens are taught." Harry explained.
"What mistake?" Tonks questioned since to her it sounded like Harry had done it better than most.
"I think I still had the thought that I was doing the meditation and trying to learn Occlumency because of Magic. I knew I was going through this process for the Magic of it rather than to try and clear and protect my mind. I'm working off the theory that because I was focusing on Magic instead of a cleared mind I found my Magic rather than a cleared and empty mind like normal." Harry theorized as he thought about his discovery of Magic.
"I see; you wanted to practice and learn Occlumency for the Magic so you found your Magic within instead of your mind. It's a fascinating theory; it could rewrite a lot of Magical Theory if it could be studied correctly. How one would go about studying it escapes me though." Penny mused as she thought about how much variation each individual could represent in such a study.
"So are you going to teach us this alternate Occlumency then?" Tonks asked still eager to learn Wandless Magic.
