At the Gryffindor table, Harry was the subject of much scrutiny.
"Another world?" Ron Weasley asked.
Harry nodded and swallowed what he was eating. 'Don't want to get on Luna's bad side about bad table manners.'
"Yes. I wound up appearing in front of my now adoptive sister, Lina," Harry said. "After I explained what happened, she took me to see her older sister, Luna. It was Luna's idea to adopt me into the family."
Hermione tapped her fingers on the table thoughtfully. "What's that world like?"
"Different. I felt like I fell into a fairy tale world at first. Magic is much more acceptable there. There's a magic guild or school in each city and most villages. All the schools, save the ones in Seyruun, report back to the main headquarters in Sairagg."
Hermione cocked her head to one side and looked at Harry. "Why wouldn't Seyruun's schools report back to Sairagg?"
"Easy enough. Seyruun is the White Magic capital of the world and Sairagg is the magic capital and handles Black and Shamanism."
"White? Black? Shamanism?" Hermione asked.
'I feel like Lina giving a lecture,' Harry thought to himself. "White magic is for healing and purification. Things like Recovery and Dicleary. Also things like Lighting and Ext Ball are in with White Magic."
"Ext Ball? Dicleary?" Ron asked
The other students at the table were listening intently.
"Fire extinguishing and removal of toxins respectively," Harry answered. "Black Magic is broken in to two broad types. Attack spells like Blast Ash or my sister's favorite spell Dragon Slave and Summoning such as summoning jellyfish. The attack spells are powered by either the dark human emotions such as anger, hatred, and the like or by the Dark Lords. I'll get to that later."
Hermione opened her mouth to ask a question, but closed it.
Harry nodded and continued, "Holy Magic is Black Magic's opposite but was lost over a thousand years ago during the Dark Resurrection War. Some of the spells that were lost were duplicated in Shamanism. Now we come to my favorite branches of magic. Shamanism. Shamanism is divided into five categories. Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Spirit. The first four are fairly obvious. Spirit uses a caster's own spirit to power the effects. I've gravitated to studying Wind, Spirit, and Water."
Hermione asked, "Interesting. How are the spells cast?"
"Chaos words. Understanding how to influence the weave of magic and using the words to generate the effects. A mage or wizard's spell ability is tied in with how healthy they are feeling. I once caught a severe cold and couldn't even cast Lighting."
Hermione blushed and opened her mouth, but closed it real quick.
Ron asked, "Dark Lords?"
'Sheesh. I'm not going to be able to eat anything at this rate,' Harry thought and sighed.
"The Dark Lords or Demon Lords are Ruby Eye Shabranigdo and his five servants. Hellmaster Phibrizo. Beastmaster Zelas Metallium. Dynast Grausherra the Frozen King. Gaav the Demon Dragon King. Deep Sea Dolphin. On the other side is the Flare Dragon Cephied and his four Shinzoku or Divine servants. The Aqualord Ragradia. The Firelord Vrabazard. The Windlord Valwin. The Earthlord Rangort. At least that's how it used to be until the battle that had Ruby-Eye broken into seven pieces and sealed and the main body of Cephied submerging into the Sea of Chaos. One of those seven pieces were revived and led to the Dark Resurrection War ending with our land sealed from the outside world, the death of Ragradia, and that piece of Ruby-Eye buried in the northern reaches unable to move. We now call him Buka-S or Demon King of the North."
Hermione held up a finger. "Wait a minute. Are you saying that gods and demons are physically active on your world?"
Harry shrugged. "Yes. What of it? The Mazoku or Demons serving Shabranigdo are very active. Magic is accepted and even encouraged, since we do have demons running about causing no end of problems."
Harry noticed a bit of shuddering and went back to eating.
Ron composed himself and asked, "You said you studied magic. How much more schooling do you have to take?"
Harry swallowed and answered. "Only a few more years. Once I turn 14, I'll be able to take my test for Color and then I can leave on my journey."
"Say what?" Ron whispered.
"Something Luna said to sis. She wants us to leave and see the world to become wise adults. The Color is stating that we have graduated and do have mastery in at least three fields of magic."
Hermione asked, "Something is bothering me. You put a spell called Dragon Slave into an attack spell. How can a spell that enslaves a dragon be considered an attack?"
Harry chuckled. "Ah. No. The original name for the Dragon Slave was Dragon Slayer. A spell designed to kill a dragon in a single shot. The Name just got corrupted over the years to Dragon Slave."
Hermione's jaw dropped. She clamped her mouth shut and mentally resolved to question Harry in detail about the magic he already knows. Several other students had the same thought.
