Chapter 2

Harry walked out of the memory gate with this shocked look on his face and went to meet with Vey. A chair appeared and Harry sat in it. Still in his daze he just sat there thinking of what he just saw he didn't even know that Vey walked over and laid down by his feet. What he saw and experience can't be described in anyway.

From what he just went through the big take away is that not everything is as it seem. He went through Edward's whole life as an assassin (beginning of Black Flag) to his death and a small points of his daughter life, Harry's ancestor connection. He also learned what this vision thing from earlier was and believes to now control it but will have to wait until he wakes up.

"What was that Vey?" he pulled out of his daze.

"That was the life of your ancestor. This one as you know was Edward Kenway one of the more recent assassin's from your blood line"

"But why did I feel like I was him?"

"Because you were. It showed you his life from his view to teach you the skills that he learned"

"What skill is that. How to make people want you dead because I think I have that covered"

"No but that is part of being an assassin. What he taught you would be to adapt quickly to a new environment and situation. These memories will help you control the power you already have"

"Got it. It's a lot to take in but I think I'm ready for the next one"

"Sorry but no"

"What do you mean no?"

"Your mind needs to settle with this information or you might go insane. And besides it's time to wake up"

At that moment the place was disappearing like being erased until nothing but darkness. He opened his eyes and sat straight up breathing heavily. Noticing he couldn't see he reached for his glasses on the night stand and stuck them on his face. He then grabbed his newly repaired watch and checked the time.

"5:48 couldn't at least be near breakfast time" he spoke to no one. He turned to the other side of the wing and noticed that Cedric was still breathing and sound asleep. Just then Pomfrey walked out of her office and ran over to him check on him.

"Well Mr. Potter your magic core is strained from the growth it has had. Not sure why it did but my guess is the situation that you were in caused it. Don't use magic all day and visit me after dinner"

"Yes ma'am" Harry said.

"Nothing else seems wrong dear you can leave" Harry changed into the new set of cloths he was provided. As he changed his vision started acting up again but this time he knew what it was and what to do and forcibly switched it off. With only focusing he is now able to turn on and off his eagle vision on his own. Finished changing he headed to the common room. It was empty only the sound of the embers crackling on the firewood that stopped burning. No one was awake at least not that he knew. He went up to his dorm grabbed his defense against the dark arts book and started reading after reigniting the fire. Moments later came the sound of a door closing and foot steps. Harry thought it was just some student and hoped they wouldn't bother him but he was wrong because soon he was in a brown haired embrace that was very similar to a bear hug.

"Oh Harry you're awake I was just about to come see you. We didn't get to really talk last night. Now please tell me what happened but first" she took the book from his hands and hit him on the head. "that is for scaring me to death"

"Ow that hurt Mione" Rubbing his head.

"Good" After taking the book back he turned to face her.

"I can't tell you everything yet please be patient. I know it's tough but please I need to know what is happening myself too"

"OK fine I'll wait but when you tell me you better not leave anything out got it" she said sternly while pouting.

"Yeah got it Mione. Loud and clear"

"On another topic when did you start calling me 'Mione'?"

"Well just now actually. I can stop if you want. Just I thought it was a good nickname for you"

"You don't have to stop I like it, I really do" Her face turned pink "But only when you do it and only when not many people are around"

"Of course Mione if that is your wish then only I will call you that. I'll make sure"

"Great, now what are you doing?"

"Just waiting to go down for breakfast by reading"

"Well I'm sorry for disturbing you but I'm hungry and going down to eat. Care to join me?"

"I'm right behind you" The two started down the magic moving stairs when Harry asked a forbidden question.

"Hey what's going on with you and Krum?" Hermione stopped where she was and looked at Harry with anger and embarrassment.

"Nothing is going on with him and me. We are friends nothing more" she almost yelled

"OK ok" he said quickly. "I was just curious. You two are hanging around each other more since the ball. I was going to ask before but I was more focused on the tournament. I'm sorry if I offended you. But I must ask why are you upset?"

"I'm upset because you aren't the first person to ask me that. Ron asks me nonstop and everyone else thinks we are dating. His fan girls keep asking me how big he is. I don't answer because it embarrasses me"

"So you do know the answer?" Harry asked determined she knew and was jealous plus pissed at Krum but didn't know why.

"What?! NO. I'm still a virgin. What gave you the idea I knew that?

"Well you didn't say you did or not just that you were embarrassed" his face turned pink.

"Well I guess that makes since" her face also turned pink. "I can see why you asked but why did you assumed that it was true?"

"Well I don't like the idea of him taking advantage of you. I mean you're 15 and he's 18" Harry went from pink to red. He decided to change the topic with a light joke. "Ron wouldn't hesitate to get in bed with Krum for sure"

"Uhh don't bring up that weasel"

"Weasel?"

"Yes weasel. He cares for no one but himself. I don't know why you took him back as a friend. He insults you behind your back and didn't stick by your side like me. And to top it off all we ever do is argue with each other"

"You do know he fancies you right?"

"Of course I know. He's not very subtle about it"

"Do you not also fancy him?"

"WHAT! No way. Why would I fancy a guy who has been nothing but mean to me and is a walking food disposal. What gave you that idea?"

"Nothing just.. well I've noticed that you've been sneaking glances at him when you aren't with us" Hermione's face turned from pink to red.

"Well it's not him I was looking at it was someone else" She looked anywhere but at Harry.

"Well who is the lucky block who has caught your eye? It better not be Malfoy"

"Oh it will never be him and what do you mean lucky block?" They started down the stairs again.

"Well they should be glad you are interested in him. Your loyal, caring, kind, definitely smart, beautiful no doubt and much more Mione. Any guy would definitely be lucky to be with you but only a few deserve you and Ron is not one of them for sure" Hermione was now a deep shade of red.

"Thank you Harry but you don't have to make things up to make me feel better"

"I'm not making things up. Every word is the truth. I couldn't lie to you even if I wanted to"

"But what about last night?" She said with a smirk "You didn't tell me everything"

"I didn't tell you everything because I might get in trouble or you could get hurt. I'm not sure about this myself but what I do know is that the less you know now the more safe you will be. And I just left parts out I didn't lie to you"

"It's all the same now come on I'm starving" she grabbed his hand and the two entered the nearly emptied great hall. She led them to the Gryffindor table. Once arrival Harry noticed very few people are eating with only Flitwick at the staff table. Harry usually arrives with everyone else. He was enjoying the peace and quiet from the redhead that was his roommate. The two Gryffindors ate and talked quietly for the next hour before everyone who wasn't there starting to make their way down. When Ron arrived Harry and Hermione made their way to leave unseen. They were almost out when Ron spotted them.

"Where are you two going food is the other way. Did you hit your head yesterday Harry? It not hard to forget that"

"Actually Ron we just finished eating and I have to go see Madam Pomfrey soon" Harry lied

"And I have to make sure I have everything pack for tomorrow" Hermione lied as well.

"Well then I'll see you guys later then" Ron said being as clueless as ever.

They quickly made their way from the Great Hall and down a different section of the school. Once they made sure no one would listen in on them they discussed what happened and kept walking.

"So Harry why did you lie to him?"

"I could ask the same thing"

"I asked first now spill it"

"Well like you said he insults me behind my back and cares for no one but him so why should we be friends if he only uses my fame to become noticeable in a good way"

"Good way? What good way is there of him besides that he eat an army's worth of meals in under ten minutes"

"Umm how about, hey isn't he Harry Potter's friend he must be able to some amazing things"

"I see your point. But how are you going to break it off with him?"

"I'm not sure yet but I know he will make some mistake soon"

"Oh for sure he will definitely screw up soon it's who he is and nothing can change that" As they discussed ways on how to end their friendships with Ron they spotted a group of Ravenclaws surrounding a younger student. With his deep hatred for bullies thanks to his cousin and his friends, saw Harry stepping up to the group, wand in hand. He was never more proud then when he saw Hermione's wand come out as well.

"What do you think you're doing ?!" Harry suprest his frustration even though it was boiling over which frightened several of the Ravenclaws. As they turned around Harry noticed the Raven they were surrounding is dressed strangely and her clothes were torn. She looked frightened herself but of the bullies and not of Harry.

"None of your business. Shouldn't you be taking care of the redhead pig in the Great Hall?" sneered a girl known as Marietta Edgecomb.

"I'm making it my business; and no the weasel is fine without us so he won't have to cower away when I throw you up and down the hallway 'til no amount of makeup or perfume can help you" The low threatening tone and the magic radiating off him showed the girls that the Harry Potter who out flew a dragon, had slaine a basilisk, and who fought Voldemort was standing before them and made up several minds then and there.

"Let's go Marietta. She's not worth it" several girls were already leaving, eager to get away from the danger. Marietta was the last one to go after casting one last scathing glare at the younger Raven. Once the bullies were gone, practically running away, Harry turned to find a pair of shiney grey eyes looking back at him.

"Are you alright Miss?" He made the assumption that she was being picked on because she was odd and does different things that others find weird.

"You are Harry Potter" He smiled at her.

"I am. For most of my life. This is my best friend Hermione Granger. Who are you?" She looked at them like a painting for a moment with her head cocked slightly to one side.

"My name is Luna Lovegood. Most people think I'm a little strange so they call me Loony instead"

"It's nice to meet you, Luna. People think I'm a attention seeking cheater lier one minute and the hero of the universe the next. By the way 'Luna' is a way better name then 'Loony'"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, Luna. Most people think I'm a bookworm" Hermione finished before pointing a finger at Harry, "Not a word!" Harry closed his grinning mouth, but had clearly been on the verge of pointing out that she was a bookworm.

"Don't worry about being a little strange around us, Luna. This moron's life is so strange he wouldn't even notice it happening" said Hermione.

"Oi" Hermione just smiled innocently at Harry for his interruption. The look in his eyes gave him away as he tried to look offended. Giving up on his glaring he turned back to Luna.

"If you ever need help with them again you can come find us, alright, Luna? I really don't like bullies and you seem like a really nice girl" Harry thought he might have seen some tears forming but wasn't sure as Luna had thrown herself at him hugging him tightly. A moment later Hermione was in the same position. Eventually Luna stepped back.

"Thank you, you two. It's almost like having friends." Harry could feel the atmosphere change around Hermione.

"What do you mean like having friends? I would love to have you as a friend, Luna" Luna's eyes widen even more. When Harry added that he too would like to be friends tears were falling down her cheek.

"In fact why don't you join us on our walk and you can join us for lunch as well? That'll give us a chance to know you before we get into some kind of danger" Harry suggested. Hermione hit him lightly on the back of his head.

"We, it's you who gets in some kind of danger not me" Hermione said

"As long as you're by my side it's you too, so yes it's a we" Harry said like it was a known fact.

"Well then I guess it is we then" she turned a little pink.

The three walked and talked with no destination and somehow ended by the Black Lake. The golden duo got to know Luna better and found out that it was Ron that started the name that she is called, Loony. It was getting too hot to stay outside so they went to the library for privacy. On the way there Harry forgot to return some books he got from the library he used to train for the tournament.

"Hey Mione I forgot to return some books. They're on my nightstand. I'm going to get them and meet you there, ok?"

"Oh sure, be quick Harry"

He then left them heading in the opposite direction towards the gryffindor common room. As he stepped through the opening that lead to the common room he noticed that it was considerably empty. He guessed that the others were spending their time with the guest schools before they leave. He walked up four flights of stairs and entered the fourth year male dorm. He went to his bed and gather his books except one and couldn't find it. He set the ones he did have to the side and started looking under the bed looking for it, and he did but also found some crumpled parchment. He grabbed the book and paper, putting the book with the others and uncrumpled the parchment. It was a letter to Ron from his brother Charlie. As he smoothed it out he began to read it.

::::::

Dear Ron

This is VERY urgent. You must warn Harry that he has to face dragons in the first task. He shouldn't even be in the bloody thing anyway. I know he didn't enter of his free will and you know this as well so I'm helping you out by letting you tell him and if you don't I already have another letter ready to to him personally.

Chinese Firebolt- weak spot, it's eyes and a soft spot under on it's stomach, somewhere. Slow in moving on the ground, great advantage for dodging. Can spit fire faster than any other dragon.

Swedish Short-Snout- weak spot, sensitive knees. Strike hard there. Has speed. Hide often.

Welsh Green- weak spot, it's eyes and tail. Locks onto one specific target, first thing it sees. Tail is sensitive, it rarely touches the ground for this reason. Aim for the neck, has less scales there, will be stunned it for a moment.

Hungarian Horntail- weak spot, it's mouth. Aim there, it will be knocked down for a short time, is more affected when about to spit fire. All you can do is RUN and don't stop. Outmaneuver could work but don't recomand. Watch out for the tail it might end you.

Hope this helps Harry so give it to him Ronald, I will know.

Sincerely,

Charlie Weasley

::::::

Harry's face lost all color and was trembling a little. He didn't know what to think, his friend for three years would just let him die. He folded the letter, put it in his pocket and grabbed the short stack of books and headed down to the library. On his way down he thought about how he could use this to break it off with the weasel. As he entered the library he quickly found the two girls he was meeting and made his way over to their table.

"Harry what's wrong?" Hermione asked seeing the lost of color in his face and the lost of the light that was in his eyes the last time she saw him a few moments ago.

"Ron knew. He bloody fucking knew, Mione" Harry said lowering his head after.

"Language Harry. What did he know?" Harry then pulled out the letter from his pocket and gave it to her letting she and Luna read it. After a moment they also lost all color in their face.

"That little shit. Harry you could have died if Hagrid didn't tell you about the dragons. He knew and he didn't open his worthless mouth" she was now full blown crying and Harry went on instinct and moved to her side pulling her into a hug. She held onto him like he was her lifeline. Harry looked up at Luna and noticing that she was crying too. He removed an arm from Hermione making room for Luna to join the hug. She took the invitation and was now also holding onto Harry with her life. After a few moments they let go each others and while the girls calmed down Harry put away his books. When he returned the two were plotting ways on how to torture the redhead. Some very descriptive that made Harry wince and cover a certain area.

Soon lunch time came and the three headed back to the Great Hall trying to get the weasel out of their minds. Luckily they didn't see Ron all throughout the meal, which was odd. Now came the ending of the tournament. Dumbledore stood up and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen of all schools. It is sad as the end of the Triwizard Tournament our visiting schools are leaving as well. But the memories with the new friends stay and now onto the awards. In last place with 90 points we have Miss Fleur Delacour from the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic" Fleur stood up from where she sat and cheering was loud but polite. She walked over to the Hogwarts headmaster and stood by him.

"In third place 115 points we have Mister Victor Krum from the Durmstrang Institute for Magical Learning" He joined Fleur with some loud cheering looking not too happy"

"In second with 127 points we have Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" He stood next to Krum having the same greeting.

"And in First place with 130 points we have Have Harry Potter from Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry" Harry got up and the hall erupted with applause. He went over to them and was given the Triwizards cup and a sack full of 1000 Galleons.

"I would like to thank you four for participating in the tournament and may you have everlasting glory but now we must say goodbye to our guest I wish you all well and safe travels" He headed to his office after talking to the other headmasters again.

The students went over to say goodbye to their new friends. Harry went back to sit with Luna and Hermione was missing and so was Krum. He decided to wait for them to finish whatever was they were doing but after quite some time he started to get worried. He grabbed Luna's arm and exited the Great Hall. Once he was out the door he summoned the Marauders Map. When it arrived Luna started asking questions.

"Harry what's that?" Luna asked. He then gave her the money sack and the cup.

"I will tell you later but you might already figure it out" He pulled out his wand and aimed at the parchment, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" Words and lines started to appear. Not wanting to waste anytime he started searching for Hermione & Krum and he found them both in the same place. Having this bad feeling he started racing towards their location, an empty classroom on the fifth floor. He reached the fifth floor and Luna was staggering behind him but he didn't slow down. Once he reached the classroom he peered inside through a window and saw something that horrified him and gave him the urge to kill.

Clothes were scattered around the room and Hermione, with misty eyes showing that she is imperiused, topless, nothing covering her breast and attempting to take her knickers off but was trying not too. Krum was standing in front of her with only pants on, smiling like it was Christmas morning. Harry couldn't take it anymore, so got up went to the door, wand in hand and blasted it open, knocking it off it's hinges and hitting the wall across from it. Harry ran through and used expelliarmus on Krum taking his wand dropping the map. Harry noticed that his spell was more powerful than before. Krum was waiting for another magic attack but Harry didn't want to use magic and so he used a reducto on a nearby chair breaking it. Tossing the wands to the side, he picked up two chair legs and now relying on instinct he charged at his target. Krum tried to find something to help him defend but it was too late.

Harry reached his target. He hit Krum on top of his face with the bottom of his weapon in his right hand knocking him off balance. He then used this moment to stomp on Krum's left knee with his right foot bringing him down below Harry's height where he then used the chair leg in his left hand hitting him hard in the torso where he used both to swing diagonally up towards his head from right to left where he then swing from left to right horizontally across his face with Krum going down instantly and became unconscious.

Harry was sweating from the ass kicking he gave but still had the heart to check on the rapist. He noted that he still had a pulse and cursed himself for not ending him. Luna took that time to enter the room and saw what happened.

"Wow! Harry did you do that?" Luna asked looking at the damage on Krum.

"Yes I did" He answered still panting. He went over and picked up his map. Grabbing his wand he banished the writing and made it look blank once more. He then folded and put it in his pocket.

"Why?"

"He was trying to rape Hermione by casting the imperius curse- OH HERMIONE" He looked around the room and found her on the ground. He ran towards her and so did Luna after gathering her clothes putting them in the cup. She started to walk up.

"Where am I" she asked

"You're in an empty classroom" Luna answered.

"Why?" She was now starting to get worried.

"What is the last thing you remember, Mione" Harry asked.

"I was about to go up and congratulate you for winning the tournament, why?"

"What happened was that your "friend" Krum cast an imperius on you and tried to rape you" Her worried look changed to one of pure horrified as she now remembered it clearly. She looked down and notice that nothing was covering her upper body and had not pants. She was glad that her knickers were still on but it was obvious that was next to be removed. She tried to cover herself but had nothing to do so. Harry notice what she wanted so he grabbed he grabbed the jumper she on earlier and helped her put it on. He then left the room and summoned his invisibility cloak. When he got it and head back to the others he picked Hermione up bridal style and Luna knew what he wanted so she put the cloak on her new best girl friend after she bound and stunned the rapist. When they knew she was invisible or at least the parts that needed covering they made sure no one would enter and headed to the Hospital wing.

As they entered the wing Madam Pomfrey looked and saw Harry and only Harry.

"Mr. Potter what is it this time? You better have not used any magic" Said the school's doctor.

"I did use magic recently, only a few minutes ago" she was now getting that disappointed look, "but I'm not here because of that" Luna removed the cloak and showed a scared Hermione, not wanting to let go of Harry. Pomfrey seeing this quickly made space for her on a bed.

"Here, put her down gently" Harry did so but didn't let go of her hand. "What happened?" Harry went on to tell her what had happened except the map of course. After she check on her and made sure she wasn't physically harmed in anyway and by Hermione's request made sure was still a virgin, she is, Madam Pomfrey went to her office to contact the DMLE. When she returned the three Aurors and Amelia Bones were behind her. While she was gone he put the cloak in his pocket next to the map.

"Mr. Potter would you tell me what happened and where the attacker is now?" said Amelia

"Yes, of course Madam Bones" He turned back towards Hermione, "I must leave ok. I will be back soon and Luna is here to help you" Hermione let go of his hand reluctantly only to be replaced by a smaller hand that belonged to her other friend.

Harry lead the Ministry employes to the classroom while tell them what happened once again leaving out the map and removed the repealing charms left by Luna. Once they entered two of the aurors grabbed Krum and put him in magical blocking stone cuffs before awaking him. When he was aware of what was happening he was trying to get away from them but once he saw Harry he shrunk down and didn't put up anymore fights. Harry left towards where his friend was when they didn't need him anymore. But when he entered the hospital the warden was going off that what he did to rescue Hermione was necessary she still told him that he disobeyed her orders and kept him there until dinner but at least Hermione is getting better.

::::::

It was now dinner time and the three were allowed to leave. When they made it down to the Great Hall rumors of what happen spread like wildfire. Everyone looked at Hermione with discussed and Krums fan girls had murderous glances.

"Harry I'm not feeling good, can we eat in the common room?" Hermione asked holding onto Harry's arm.

"Yes we can. Let's go and I'll see if Dobby can get us something for us" They then turned around and left heading towards the Hogwarts kitchen.

"So how does it feel to be me?" Harry joked, trying to light the mood.

"Like everyone was staring at my soul" Said Hermione.

"I know, guess they don't have anything better to do" The three laughed changing the gloomy atmosphere.

After reaching the entrance they opened the portrait door by tickling the pair in the fruit basket. When the door opened Dobby ran out and grabbed hold of Harry's leg.

"Harry Potter come visit Dobby. Dobby very happy" Said the very happy house elf.

"Yes Dobby we came to visit you but please let go of my leg" Said Harry.

"Sorry Harry Potter. Dobby very sorry" He said letting go of the leg.

"Now Dobby can you do me a favor?"

"Of course, anything Mr. Harry Potter and Miss Grangy and Miss Loony"

"Can you make some dinner for us and bring it up to the Gryffindor common room"

"Yes Dobby can. You'll have it soon"

"Thank you Dobby. We'll see you soon" They left towards their second destination, the common room.

They reached the Fat Lady portrait, it took some persuasion to get her to let Luna in. When they entered Harry excused himself to start packing his things while they wait for food. He went up to the Fourth Year dorms and when he opened the door he didn't expect what he found. Everyone's trunk was open and most things that were in them are scattered all around the room, and the person who did this was at the moment going through Harry's things now. Acting on his rage Harry grabbed his wand and cast a powerful banishing charm, pushing the culprit across the room. He then rushed over to him as the two girls entered the room, hearing the noise. The thief looked up and was scared of the one he once called friend, Ron Weasley was caught.

::::::

A/N: It took a while to complete. I only had so much time with school starting soon. I know Luna didn't really get much to say but this was just them meeting her and getting to know her. She will Have more dialog in the next chapters for sure. I was thinking that I should have Ron as the rapist but decided against it for I still need him for more development of the other Weasleys. As of right now the only Weasley that will be bashed is Ron. I will continue this and hope it does well. I thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed it.
