"Moving on, there are three sheets of parchment on the table next to you. Change each of them into a different color." Flitwick instructed and Harry did so with nary a thought. He changed each of them into the House Colors of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor.
"Done, sir." Harry stated and Flitwick clapped politely as he marked the results. So it went that Harry demonstrated the various Charms they'd worked on over the school year. Each time he managed it both Silent and Wandless bringing a brighter smile to Flitwick's face.
"Alright, Mr. Potter, not that you need it but you're now given the opportunity to display any Charm you've learned outside of class for extra credit." Flitwick motioned to the empty space in front of the long table. Harry thought for a moment about which spell to demonstrate and smiled as he decided to go flashy.
'Might as well, right? What was it Sirius said in his letter that one time? Go big or go home, wasn't it?' Harry mused before he stood before Flitwick and raised his hand into the air above his head. With palm facing the high ceiling a small flame appeared in Harry's hand before it became a large conflagration as Harry fed more mana into the spell. The flames became a stream that towered into the air just short of hitting the ceiling. Flitwick stared in amazement at what a First Year was doing. This went beyond what any Incendio Charm could do!
"Excellent, Mr. Potter, simply excellent!" Flitwick praised as Harry ended his spell. "Make sure you're very careful with that spell though! I don't want to hear you've accidentally set something ablaze during your years here."
"Of course, Professor." Harry nodded and Flitwick dismissed him to his next practical.
Harry made good showings in all his practical exams. McGonagall had been especially impressed by his ability to wandlessly transfigure a small stone into various shapes. Turning the rock into a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, and a flat disc had seen him getting extra marks for Transfiguration. Now Harry had to take his final practical exam, Defense Against the Dark Arts with Dumbledore.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Potter, I trust you're well?" Dumbledore asked as Harry made his way into the room.
"As well as can be, Professor." Harry replied as he waited for Dumbledore's instructions.
"Good to hear, we'll be going through the spells you've learned over the year. Simply demonstrate them to the best of your ability and we'll be done shortly. No need to be nervous." Dumbledore reassured. "Are you ready?"
"Yes, Professor, I'm ready." Harry nodded and Dumbledore asked for the first spell.
"Show me the Flipendo Jinx, Mr. Potter." Dumbledore prompted while motioning towards a target against the wall. Harry simply pointed at it with his finger and cast the spell. His jinx smacked almost dead center against the target and Dumbledore looked mildly impressed before making a mark on his clipboard. At the end Dumbledore offered a chance for extra credit, just as the rest of the Professors had done, and Harry nodded.
'I finally have some real results for this spell, so I might as well get some extra credit for it!' Harry thought with a grin as he conjured lightning around his arm. With a jab of his index and middle finger towards the target a bolt of lightning leapt from the extended fingers and struck just off center of the bull's eye. 'Letting the lighting travel down my arm and out the tips of my fingers makes it infinitely easier to aim compared to the whole palm.' Harry smiled at the results of all of his practice with the Fulmen Curse.
"My word, I never thought I'd see a First Year capable of casting the Fulmen Curse." Dumbledore stared at Harry for a long moment before writing on his clipboard. "That you managed it Silent and Wandless as well is outright unheard of for a Wizard your age. I must say you're quite the young man, Mr. Potter. Though I don't believe that I need to caution you on the use of that spell? Never use it on another person unless it is absolutely unavoidable to defend your life. That curse is not something that one can cast 'accidentally' or 'on reflex', though some have tried to get out of criminal charges by stating such in the past." The old wizard sighed.
"Of course, Professor, I learned it for just those types of situations. I'd rather avoid them altogether if possible though." Harry stated and Dumbledore nodded to the young student. 'No way am I telling him I learned it just because I wanted to throw lightning around along with fire.' He thought to himself with a groan, he'd never live that down if Tonks ever found out.
-End of the Year-
Tonks and Penny had been feeling rather confident in their performance of their exams. Tonks went one and on about the startled looks on the Wizarding Examination Authority proctor's faces when she'd started performing spell both Silent and Wandless. The Metamorph was sure she'd aced the practical exams without a problem. Penny had been very confident in both her written and practical exams. Though even she couldn't help but comment on her own shocking of the proctors from the Ministry during her practical exams. Apparently they'd never seen a Fifth Year capable of so much Wandless Magic.
"So who won the House Cup this year?" Tonks asked as she looked towards the hourglasses at the front of the Great Hall.
"I think it's between Slytherin and Ravenclaw this year." Penny commented as she waited for dinner to start along with everyone else.
"I don't really care; I've got more things to worry about than the House Cup." Harry shrugged nonchalantly though both of his friends could see him glancing at the hourglasses every so often. They'd both laugh at him shortly after when it was revealed that Ravenclaw had won the House Cup by all of twelve House Points.
"Doesn't care he says." Tonks guffawed while Penny hugged Harry in celebration of their House winning.
