Harry/Hermione
Manipulative Dumbledore-some Ron bashing.
Review replies:
DZ2: I'm glad to hear it. It is disappointing that with the huge fan bases both series that it is hard to get a good story combining them. I must say that I was inspired by your group in your story We are One. I decided that they would all use swords as well as magic-even if they don't have one of the legendary swords. Oh! The second of the seven swords is revealed in this chapter!
917brat: With reviews like this I will keep it up!
TheBlaackSeaReaper: Wow. I'm glad to be the first with an idea like this!
Shinigami: Those people honestly were in my mind after I made the list except Justin. I read that in the Final Battle, he actually RAN AWAY before the battle-even knocking aside First Years. Wow…real Hufflepuff loyalty there. That act of cowardice eliminated him from the roster.
MadDogMatt13: Well, I planned on Samehada being Hermione's for a few reasons, 1) IT takes a clever mind to use a sword that doesn't cut, but shaves flesh from bone. 2) Remember Dolohov's curse in Order of the Phoenix? Well, with a sword that eats magic…. And 3) there will be an incident that takes place at the lake this chapter.
Zaralann: Thank you.
Dannichigo: I actually found Wikis for Naruto and Harry Potter, so the list of techniques and characters is pretty much available. Thanks for the offer, though. IF I need help, I will instantly ask you.
Chapter 3: Samehada
The day the Yule Ball came around, Harry and Hermione had dressed in the best robes available. Harry, now that his falling out with Ron was official and Ron revealed that there was some plan to get his money, had sent Hedwig with a letter to Gringotts asking if his Vault Key could be returned from Molly Weasley's possession. Luckily, the letter came in before Molly tried to withdraw money, so the key was in Harry's possession before the end of the day. Harry glanced at the other Champions he was standing near. Cedric Diggory was with Cho Chang; Viktor Krum was with Padma Patil-having looked for a girl who wasn't obsessed with his fame; and Fleur Delacour was with Michael Corner, who was currently drooling. "Sorry. He honestly thought he wasn't affected." Cedric apologized. Fleur shrugged. "Well, he isn't as bad as some." She admitted. Harry, against Kubikiribocho's advice had helped all of the champions with the clue, and now all of the champions were doing what the Tournament was trying to promote-friendship between schools. As all four champions entered the Great Hall where the Yule Ball was located, Harry did not see Ron anywhere. "Don't drop your guard yet, kid. You never know what will happen" Kubikiribocho voiced from within his mind. "What will it take for you to call me by my name?" Harry asked. "Ask that again after you kill one of your foes." Shaking his head, Harry decided to ignore Kubikiribocho's habits and focus on having a good time at the Yule Ball.

After the ball, Harry and Hermione decided to walk at the shore of the Black Lake, with all of the other couples heading to the Rose Garden. "The ball was surprisingly fun" Hermione admitted, "I half expected Malfoy to try and ruin our time. Sensing a presence behind them Harry groaned out "You might have just Jinxed us." Turning around, Harry ducked in time to avoid a Petrificus Totalus…or so he thought. As soon as he ducked, he realized that he wasn't the target, Hermione was. She froze up as the spell hit her, and the assailant kicked her into the water, where Harry watched her sink with the spell still in effect. "I never took you for a murderer….Weasley." Harry growled, focusing his magic the way Kubikiribocho had for a different technique that one of its former user was famous for. "You always get everything, Potter. Money. Fame, even Hermione." "The only reason I am bothering with you now is so you don't get in the way of me rescuing Hermione. Water Style: Grad Vortex Technique!" The water of the Lake responded to his magic and became a spiraling vortex that slammed Ron into a tree. With a growl, Harry dove into the lake with only one thought in mind. Saving Hermione.

Unbeknownst to Harry, Hermione's magic flared when it felt Harry's affect the water. Struggling to get to the surface, Hermione felt her lungs burn as they started to run out of oxygen. Her foot brushed against something and a strange sensation ran over her, like a warming charm was covering her. Her neck felt strange and her lungs no longer burned. Raising a hand, she felt gills on her neck allowing her to breathe underwater. She saw Harry diving towards her and rushed up to him….much faster than she anticipated. She collided with him and both shot out of the water. "What are you doing? Hermione's down there!" Harry yelled at her. "Don't you recognize me?" Hermione asked. As she asked the question, she felt the sensation fade and an object came to rest in her hand after sliding out of her arm. "Well, don't I get a thank you for saving your life until your little boyfriend came to the rescue?" A gruff voice sounded in Hermione's mind, causing her to look down at the sword Harry was staring at. The hilt was as long as Kubikiribocho's, only it had a yellow cloth wrapped around it with a small skull at the end of the hilt. The sword also was as long as Kubikiribocho-right now-but was covered in purple metal that formed sharp scales that faced backwards, but only in the middle where the white wrappings around it had torn. "The sword that doesn't cut, but shaves flesh from bone…." Hermione voiced, the sword attaching itself to her back. "Samehada" Harry voiced for her.

A black beetle flew off after this event took place as three people Harry never expected to meet walked up to them, after the lone male of the group cast a spell that sent ropes at Ron and tied him to the tree. "Ms. Greengrass, Ms. Davis, Mr. Zabini" Harry greeted. "Hello…Po-I mean Harry" Daphne Greengrass, greeted, sending both Harry and Hermione for a loop. All of the years they had been at Hogwarts, a Slytherin had never called one of them by their first name. "Can we help you" Hermione asked, her right hand inching closer to Samehada's hilt. "We want to join" Blaise Zabini suddenly voiced and Harry tensed. "The Order of the Mist, right?" Tracey Davis asked. "Why?" Harry asked, feeling very self-conscious at that moment. "We know that Dumbledore is not all that he is cracked up to be. We heard of the protections the Philosopher's stone was under….that first years could bypass." Blaise admitted. "And You-Know-Who…you've faced him twice already. If anyone can stop him it's you." Tracy summarized. "If you know about the organization, you know of the requirements of joining." At this, Daphne smirked, "having a sword" and then added "and swearing not to betray the organization". "As soon as you can get the swords, show me and I will admit you." Harry said, mentally celebrating that he already had three more people in the organization. "Also, talk to Longbottom. Their family has always supported the Potters" Blaise advised. As Harry walked back to Hogwarts with the three new members, Hermione suddenly shouted that Samehada had a great idea. "There was a technique that one of Samehada's users had known about called the Astral Projection Technique. It was a communication technique that allowed organization members to talk to each other-even across the continent. The downside is that the technique needed a focus to work, such as a ring that each member wore." The three Slytherins were in shock, not having heard that the swords were sentient. "Well, then…seems like I will be going to Diagon Alley for the next Hogsmeades trip to pick up some rings, but I will need to know your ring sizes first.

Within the Slytherin Girl's Dormitory, Daphne Greengrass opened her trunk and pulled out a wrapped object. Taking off the wrappings, she gazed at the beautiful sword they had covered. The blade was easily three and a half feet long and sharpened to a fine tip. There were no hand guards, two foot wrapped handle that seemed to suddenly change into the blade. The end of the hilt was shaped like a needle head and had a metal wire attached to it, a long wire that was easily six feet in length that had a metal senbon needle attached to it. "Seeing those two with their sentient swords….it made me kind of jealous." Daphne spoke to her sword- a present she had gotten from her parents for her fourteenth birthday. "If only you were sentient." "Who says I'm not?" a gruff voice echoed throughout her mind, "I just never had a reason to speak…but I sense that Kubikiribocho and Samehada have awakened…and that you have allied yourself to their wielders. Finally, the time has come for you to learn my name and start learning to use me to my full potential. I am the Longsword, Nuibari!"
