A/N: This is just to improve my writing, so if it sucks, trust me, I know it sucks.
Anyway this was something that just wouldn't leave my head so I was like why not. If anyone wants to use this piece of crap pm me.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to their respective owners. I own nothing, and I do not profit off of any of this.
A Gift of Faith
"This is a terrible idea, Harry you know this is a terrible idea."
"C'mon Hermione, I need every edge I can get in this tournament."
"Yeah but there is a fine line between research and practice and pulling out a slip from a bloody hat and just praying it works!"
Hermione was many things: the top witch of her generation, a muggleborn, the only girl in the Golden Trio, and many more, but the title that she prides herself most on is genius. So as a genius she must point out the stupidity of using a ritual from a book that was randomly found in the library.
Now why would anyone even consider using a mysterious ritual from mysterious book x? Well there are two reasons: First you have to be in a very big pickle, as in you are seriously about to die kind of pickle, the kind of pickle only a dragon would eat. Second you have to have a certain amount of stupidity/stubbornness to even consider this. And who fits the bill? Why it is the Boy-Who-Lived himself Harry James Potter.
"Hermione it is perfectly safe, It is not from the restricted section or anything like that, and even if it was, why would anyone take it out of there."
The book in question was a fairly innocent book, titled "Summonings for any situation" and as anyone could guess it was a book that contained summoning rituals. Harry stumbled on it when he was looking for methods to survive the first task. Being the only fourth year in the Triwizard Tournament, you would expect that he would catch a break but nope, tough luck buddy. Prepare your ass because its about to get pounded.
"Sigh, Harry with your luck this will summon a basilisk, you know this will end badly, and WHY ARE YOU FINISHING THAT CIRCLE."
"Look Hermione, I have zero options here, I don't know any spells that can even slow down a dragon, much less incapitcate it. The book says I don't need much magic, and that I don't evemn need a catalyst. You have to admit this is better than nothing."
"Harry I love you like a brother, but this is so stupid, you don't know what you are going to summon at all, like I don't know a Fucking Basilisk."
Hermione has a bit of a phobia with Basilisks.
"Hermione, don't worry I followed the books instructions to the letter, there is no way this can possibly go wrong"
"Groan, we are doomed. I am going to get petrified again."
"Alright let's do this."
Harry then proceeded to pull out his wand and with a couple of waves and some words, it began. The circle, made by white chalk and some very messy runes surrounding it proceeded to glow in the middle. The green light got brighter and brighter until finally it exploded and standing there was a woman.
She was beautiful, inhumanly beautiful, her face was both gently and sharp. Her eyes were a stunning shade of blue. Her skin was flawless, like porcelain. She was covered in armor, but that did not hide the fact that she was a woman of inhuman proportions. She had the looks that a model would envy. She was also quite tall.
She then spoke, snapping both Harry and Hermione out of their stupor.
"Tell me, Harry Potter, and Hermione Granger, why did you call me here."
"U-Uh how do you know our names" Hermione's stuttered. She may be a straight girl, but this woman would change gay men straight just be being in the same room.
"I know because that is my nature, someone who knows truth. Ah, how rude of me, I didn't say my name. I am Gabriel, the archangel of Father, a pleasure to make your acquaintanceship."
The woman, now known as Gabriel, smiled gently at them. Harry felt his mouth dry, he did not know how he missed it but behind the woman were 12 pure white wings.
"Dear God what have I done"
Gabriel frowned slightly, "It is wrong to use Father's name in vain Harry, and what you have done is summon me. I really hope you had a good reason to do so, for I am forbidden to interfere with the lives of mortals unless I am specifically requested."
"We-well I needed help, you see I am kinda in a tournament against my will, and I needed something to help me out. Hermione can you- Hermione!"
Hermione was currently pressing her head down on the floor in front of Gabriel whispering prayers under her breath. Perfectly understandable, Harry will soon be doing this when the situation finally sunk in.
"Ah I see, so your little ritual called upon something that would help you in your time of need, and what better creature to call than an angel of God."
Gabriel seemed to laugh slightly, and the world seemed a little brighter.
"I would never turn down someone in need, I shall help you Harry Potter."
Harry was expecting to be smited at this point, and was unprepared for such a response. "T-thank you, it would be greatly appreciated."
A small chuckle and a "Your welcome" form Gabriel was his response.
"Let us get going, Harry and Hermione, you have much to tell me about your challenges. Dear me, I might actually enjoy this a little."
