A/N: Yo! Judging by the current criteria that I have for updating stories, this story fits the criteria, and so I am updating the story again.
Here is the criteria:
7 reviews for 2 chapters
20 reviews/ 50 favorites and 50 follows for 3 chapters
35 reviews/ 75 favorites and 80 follows for 4 chapters
50 reviews/ 100 favorites and 105 follows for 5 chapters
I have few other stories that make the cut, but I like this strategy well enough to continue it, plus, I think that it is fair.
So, if you want to see a story continued, follow the guideline and favorite or review!
Chapter 3
Harry got out of bed the next day, ready for the day. He had learned the spell that changed his element to the dark arts and he had also gotten a few other low level dark curses down during the time. He had read through the dark arts books except the 1000 curses one, so he had a good enough basis to move through the dark arts at an acceptable pace.
Harry walked out into the bathroom that was off the Gryffindor dormitory and washed his face with a rag before locking the door and getting down to business.
Harry cleared his mind and focused on the madness that the Dark arts had started and let it loose to build up before he locked it down and sent it into the section of his mind that held his insanity. He was a bit surprised at the pace that the Dark arts was eating away at his insanity, but figured that must be why they had gotten to the curses and learning the dark arts so fast. They didn't have a choice and Allieta wanted him to speed up so that he wouldn't go insane.
Harry focused and got out of his mind and immediately heard a knocking at the door.
He unlocked the bathroom door and saw his former best friend there.
"Get out of here, you git." Ron said.
Harry snorted. "Coming from you, that is a grand compliment, you bloody moron."
Ron didn't comprehend the sarcasm for a second, but then he got it and went Vernon red.
"You-" Ron said.
"Let me guess, attention seeking prat?" Harry mocked Ron.
Ron then went purple with rage before he took a breath and started toward his wand.
However, Harry was faster than Ron was.
By the time that Ron had his wand up and not even aimed right, Harry had his wand in his face.
"Go ahead and try it, I guarantee that you won't be without a trip to the hospital wing." Harry whispered into Ron's ear.
Ron shivered in fear before his common sense lost and he started saying the name of a hex.
"Stupe-" Ron started.
Harry whispered the dark arts transformation spell a second before he had started and then said his curse.
"Minor Contusio," Harry said before a light flashed out of his wand and hit Ron in the head and made him fall back.
Ron groaned in pain from the splitting head ache that he now had.
"I would recommend going to the hospital wing and having Madame Pomphrey try and fix it, however, she probably won't be able to since the muggles are better at head injuries than the wizards are. The mind is, after all, a complex thing based on logic, a thing that so little purebloods have." Harry sighed like he was in dismay at the fact.
Harry then walked out of the room with a smirk.
His smirk died as he saw someone that he did not want to see at the bottom of the stairs.
"Hermione," Harry greeted her blandly.
Lavender and Parvati were nearby and heard the tension and started to come over.
Harry discreetly signaled them to stay a slight distance away if they didn't want to get involved in what was about to happen.
The two girls gave him a slight nod that was barely noticeable and stepped back a few steps.
The two girls then saw the three Gryffindor chasers come down the stairs and start to walk over to the group, only for Lavender and Parvati to stop them.
Harry saw the gossipers whisper something in the chasers' ears and point over there ever so slightly.
"-and furthermore, Ron told me to wait here in case anything happened, so, tell me where he is." Hermione demanded as her wand started coming up.
"Wow, so the prat actually did something smart for a change?" Harry said, completely dumbfounded by the strange event.
Hermione growled and raised her wand a bit more, only for Harry to laugh.
"You know, that prat tried this same routine. He is now lying on the floor with a concussion." Harry told her blankly.
Hermione shivered at the look in Harry's eye before she slowly started lowering her wand.
"Dispergem imbecilli animo, split personalitatem," Harry let off in succession.
Hermione was struck by both curses at the same time.
The curses didn't do anything to the outside, but on the inside, she had turned from a know it all to a fun loving gossip. The part of her mind that was now in control pushed the other side to the back of her mind and trapped it there.
Harry smirked before he walked away from the wreckage that he had caused.
Lavender and Parvati stayed back for a few seconds before deciding that they wanted to get the scoop on the new Harry Potter before the rest of the school got it.
Harry waited before he got to a good spot to talk and then he turned around and made sure that he was prepared to face the two gossips.
"What do you want?" Harry asked coldly. Not that he meant it, the two were gossips, but they had believed him when he said that he did not enter the tournament, unlike everyone but the chasers and a select few Ravenclaws and Slytherins. He was sure that there were a few Hufflepuffs, but they were drowned in their loyalty to their house.
"We want to know how you became like you are. We haven't seen hardly any of you since the tournament and then you come back like this." Lavender said, pointing to Harry to demonstrate the like this part.
"Well, it started like this…" Harry said.
Done! Let's see the reactions of Lavender and Parvati to his tale. How will they react when they find out how far he went?
Please read and review.
