Mentorship in the Classroom

"Master." Kreatcher bowed as he appeared. "Kreatcher's apologies, Kreatcher wanted to start lighty and build up." Kreatcher explained as he gestured to Umbridge, "Kreatcher was about to start doing job properly." He explained as he pointed to the trolley, hoping that his master would not be angry with him. Harry was tempted to ask Kreatcher if this was what counted as light before he remembered all the possible ways of torturing, both muggle and magical, so Harry supposed that whatever Kreatcher had done was probably pretty light.

"That makes sense I suppose," Harry said after a moment of thinking. "good job Kreatcher." Harry praised the old elf, who beamed under the praise. "So Umbridge, how are you?"

"F...filth...filthy..." Umbridge gasped out, clearly in pain.

"Well...yes, you are but that is hardly new for you, is it?" Harry shrugged.

"F...filthy half...filthy half-blood!" She managed to shout out before coughing violently just as a tooth fell out of her mouth.

"Oh Dolores," Harry tutted. "insulting my blood status, is that an insult to my mother?" Harry asked lightly.

"Y...your mother was a...stupid...mudblood! I...I am Dolores...Umbridge...S...Senior un...under..." Umbridge was cut off as Harry waved his wand and Umbridge felt like she was punched in the nose, Harry followed up with a cruciatus curse and kept it on for several moments before he grew tired of her screams and stopped.

"I had considered giving you a quick death Dolores, I really did think about it but you have insulted my mum so I have just decided fuck it." Harry informed her before he turned to Kreatcher. "Kreatcher, I don't think that Umbridge has suffered enough. Give her an hour to recover then get to work."

"Oh yes, Kreatcher will do it." Kreatcher grinned happily. "Kreatcher will make Master proud." Kreatcher said as he rubbed his hands together.

"I believe you." Harry said before he smirked at Umbridge and walked off.

 ...

"That's alright," Harry said as he was in an abandoned classroom with Scott, Jean and Astoria. He was currently guiding the three first year Ravenclaws through a spell that all three of them had wanted to learn. "now just remember to jab it forward slightly and visualize." Harry added.

"Got it." Astoria said as it was her turn to practice spell.

"Alright, just get it over with." Scott sighed as it was his turn to be the dummy. The hex was a painless one and Harry was easily able to undo it so they had decided to practice on each other as it was easier than getting a training dummy. Scott wanted to complain but both the girls had already had the spell cast on them and if they didn't complain then he wouldn't complain.

Especially not in front of Harry 'bloody' Potter, it was not that Scott or the others feared Harry, they feared what he could do but not the person. As they all felt pretty comfortable with Harry, he was the unofficial big brother of the trio and they all knew that. Which was why Scott, Jean and Astoria did their best to gain his respect when they could. In fact they looked up to him more than the teachers.

"Alright, just stay still." Astoria said before she performed the wand movements while saying the spell. "Labrum Incrementum"" She yelled as the spell flew from her wand and hit Scott in the mouth, just under his nose. The others watched as his upper lip grew to the point where it covered his mouth and went past his chin before it decided to stop growing.

"Veell thaf thuf greaf." Scott rolled his eyes as he tried to speak but that was rather difficult with what happened to his lips. Jean giggled while Astoria looked like she was trying to decide if she should laugh or apologies. Harry simply looked amused.

"Okay let me see," Harry gestured Scott to come closer and Scott did so. "okay that is pretty decent, try not to yell at your spells but pretty decent." Harry said after he examined Scott's lip, Harry waved his wand and reversed it.

"Thanks." Scott said after his lip was back to normal, he opened and closed his mouth a few times before giving Harry a nod.

"Alright guys," Harry said to the first years. "now you guys tell me why that spell could be helpful, you don't need to raise your hand." Harry added when Jean raised her hand, she blushed as she lowered it but did speak.

"Well it stops people from speaking and that means they can't cast spells." She answered.

"Exactly, if you haven't learnt silent casting and can't speak then you can't really do much, perhaps some accidental magic in a life or death situation but that's it." Harry responded. "And if you rely on verbal magic and mess up your spell then you have no idea what results could come from your spell. Anything else?"

"It's distracting." Scott answered.

"Yes," Harry nodded in approval. "even if your opponent can silent cast it will still distract them and if you keep the pressure on them to stop them from reversing it then it will continue to distract them until they make a mistake. There is one more thing that I am thinking about, can any of you guess it?" Harry asked. The three Ravenclaws looked thoughtful and were silent for a few moments before one of them spoke up.

"Is it because it scares them?" Astoria asked, hoping she was right.

"Explain." Harry shrugged as he gestured to her.

"Well if they get hit but still manage to reverse it they would still worry about getting hit again." Astoria replied.
