... is impressive. You accidentally stunned Ron on the train wandlessly so I assume you have figured out by now how to cast a stunner wandlessly and on purpose. Show us the stunner Nev! Hit that target using your pointer finger." "Stupefy" yelled Neville while jabbing his finger at the dummy from twenty feet away. The dummy fell over. "Way to go Neville! I knew you could do it. Look out everybody, Neville can you knock you out with just one finger!" Harry waved his hand and Neville's dummy stood back up. "Could you feel the magic Nev? Did it go right down your arm and out your finger? Can you remember that feeling?" Neville nodded. "Practice some more Nev. You can even try some other spells. Each time you cast pay attention to what the magic feels like. You will notice that each spell feels slightly different. The constant though is the feel of the magic. Even though each spell feels slightly different there is a part of each of those spells that feels the same. That is the magic that powers it. That is the one you want to feel in your body and be able to control." Harry turned to his other friends and moved them over further away from Neville so they could talk. "Is anyone wondering why Neville picked it up so quickly?" asked Harry. They all nodded their heads. "Neville is a powerful wizard. He has some extra power so it is easier for him to feel the magic."

Neville does not know about his extra power and while he has come a long ways confidence wise he still needs more encouragement. I am going to make sure he gets a trip to Ollivanders to get a proper wand as soon as he will let me." Harry worked with his other friends while Neville continued to practice. Harry asked Simon and Henry to give Neville some pointers while he concentrated on everyone else. Most were still confused over how to do it and none had made any progress over the week, so they were more frustrated than anything. After hearing all their complaints about not being able to do it, Harry decided to take them back to the basics and at the same time hopefully prove to them that this works. "Neville? Can I ask you to join us again? These guys are struggling a bit so we need to double team them. This exercise will help you too. Perhaps what you say to help them will strike a chord if what I say is not getting through. They may just need to hear it explained a certain way. If we can also demonstrate it that should help as well." Harry had all the dummies disappear except one. He next had them all sit down on the floor facing ...
