§Parseltongue§


Harry made his way out of his new room at about 8am, after being woken by a male house elf called Ditzy, walking downstairs into the dining room -as he was told to by Ditzy- walking in he noticed that he was the last person down and took a seat next to Tom, who sat on the left side alone.

"Bill, Percy and Charlie should be here soon." George said to everyone, he along with the others were getting an explanation today.

"We're here. Good morning all." Bill said before taking the seat on Harry's other side. The seating arrangement went like this: Lucius at the head of the table, on his right was Narcissa, then Draco, George, Luna and Neville, on the left of Lucius sat Tom, then Harry, Bill, Charlie and finally Percy.

Breakfast was quiet and seemingly calm however the atmosphere was tense. The house elves came and went quietly as they cleared the table and left a selection of drinks for everyone to chose from.

"So Harry, please do tell us why he is walking around alive when I and the others saw him dead?" George asked snappily, his eyes narrowed on the previous Dark Lord.

"Well…" and with that Harry launched into the story, telling them what had happened when he had arrived after confronting Ron, telling and showing them the letter and then explaining all the Mother of Magic stuff that had occurred, as further proof both Tom and Harry held their tattooed arms out for the guests to see. Throughout the explanation Tom and the three Malfoy's butted in and gave their points of views and opinions, when they finally finished they looked at the others who looked shocked, except Luna.

"Luna?" Harry asked concerned as she remained calm and collected unlike the shocked and pale red heads and brunette [AN I believe that in the books Neville is blond, however I'm just going to keep him as a brunette in this otherwise it may confuse me. Hope that's not a problem].

"It's good to know that mother finally spoke to you both. She had been trying for an awfully long time. I believe the reason she managed to reach out to you both now, was because you weren't trying to kill each other." She responded thoughtfully,

"How-? What-?" both Tom and Harry spluttered in confusion.

"Mother Magic's daughter, Fate, took a liking to me years ago and we became friends. She speaks to me in my dreams. We have a connection in some way. Like how you and Tom are connected to Mother Magic, I am connected to Fate." She stopped, thinking whether she should tell them about her ability, she gave in, she trusted them enough and began again "I have Seer blood in my veins but for the past 10 decades or so, no one in my ancestry showed signs of being a Seer, the Seer blood that was passed down the family began to dilute in a way. However, when Fate came along, she must've triggered the Seer blood I have in my veins and that has caused me to be a Seer, the images I get shown are not always-" She paused for a breath and to thing of the word to say "clear. They are often blurred or sometimes they are depicted in riddles or just plain images. I struggle to explain what they are so that is why I draw what I see, that way I can go back to them to try and decipher them." Luna explained thoroughly, "Because of my gift, I have been shown visions of the future. It isn't pretty, now that you both know, the images should change." She added thoughtfully.
The room grew still as people took in what Luna said, Harry said the only thing he could,
"So that's how you knew what I was getting you for your birthday." At the looks from the others Harry told the small story.

"Basically in 6th year (Luna's 5th) Luna came up to me and said that she would love the necklace I got her and that I didn't need to worry about it. I was confused because I hadn't told anyone what I got her, then suddenly she pops up tells me not to worry and that she knew what I got her." Luna smiled and lifted up one of the necklaces on her neck, it was a simple crescent moon but gave off a magical aura of strength, protection and love.

"Harry put some of his magic into it. It protected me a lot during 7th year –when the Death Eaters took over. It also keeps the Nargles and Crumple-Horned Snorkacks." She said with her dreamy voice. Everyone smiled at the unique girl.

Everyone had gone their separate ways, Bill had returned to his pregnant wife, Charlie had to go back to his Dragons and Percy went back to the Ministry. Those who had stayed the night before had been given access to everywhere in the Manor, George was in the Potions Lab creating Merlin knows what! Whatever it was, it was causing small explosions –one of the house elves that had gone to investigate could've sworn he heard maniacal laughter! Harry just informed the Malfoy's that George was most likely making new pranks. Neville and Luna had gone off to explore the gardens to see what plants they had (Neville) and to see what creatures could be found (Luna). Lucius and Narcissa had gone to the Ministry whilst Draco had gone off to find George and also make some Potions –he wanted to follow his Godfather's footsteps and be a Potions Master. Tom had gone off to the Malfoy library to do some research on Magic whilst Harry wandered off to the Black library that had been moved to the Manor.

Harry pulled a book off a shelf, it was called "The Forgivables" curiosity grasped Harry and the boy quickly curled up on the sofa by the flaming fire [AN still in the Black library, everything that was in the room was moved so the furniture was too] and summoned a notebook and pen –he found it easier to use the muggle stationary for notes compared to Parchment (that could easily go missing) and quills (that ran out ink too quickly). He opened the old looking book and began to read the first chapter that was titled "Introduction and History of the Forgivables".

"The Forgivables were spells, three to be exact. The Killing spell, the Controlling spell and the Shock spell. All three were used daily and classed as 'light' magic. All three were created in the year 901 by Althia Vexx –who was a healer just like the meaning of her first name (for more information on Althia Vexx read the book 'Famous Witches and Wizards from the 10th Century to 15th Century'). They were used for helpful reasons.

However, in 1717, the three spells were branded as curses and therefore the Ministry dubbed them as Unforgivables –The Unforgivable curses. They were now classed as 'dark' magic and anyone who used them was sent to Azkaban for life, unlike the not so strict laws in 1714." Harry skimmed the rest of the chapter before he got to the second one.

"Chapter two: The Killing Spell.

Incantation: Avada Kedavra.

The spell was used to bring a quick and painless death to those who were suffering beyond repair. Madam Vexx along with other Healers used the spell an awful lot as Potions and Spells hadn't been invented yet in order to save and heal the badly injured.

However, in 1714 a wizard named Cyrus Vixen –who had mental issues- went on a rampage, using the spell to kill thousands of innocents –both Muggle and Magical (for more information on Cyrus Vixen read the book 'Famous Witches and Wizards from the 10th Century to 15th Century') . The spell was classed as dark and banned from being used by the Ministry. Later it was called the Killing Curse." The chapter was short and finished there, turning the page he began to read the next chapter.

"Chapter three: The Shock Spell.

Incantation: Crucio

Despite the word meaning torture, Madam Vexx created it to send shocks through the body to shock the heart and brain into activity. Much like the Cardioversion that the Muggles created in 1953" Harry noticed the last part had been added by someone as the writing style had changed "It also had been used on numerous cases, Madam Vexx however discovered that you couldn't use it on a patient too long because whilst the spell helped the patient's heart slow to a steadier pace, it also harmed the patient –who should be in a healing coma when in use. This information stayed between healers. Unfortunately, word got out about the spell harming people in 1714 and a woman named Tatia Veeno and her brother Taric Veeno (for more information on the Veeno's read the book 'Famous Witches and Wizards from the 10th Century to 15th Century'). went on a mass spree of using the spell on everyone. They found out that if the repeated over and over again for a prolonged amount of time then the victim became insane. It was later called the Cruciatus Curse after the Ministry too banned it from being used and dubbed it as dark." Turning the page again for the next chapter.

"Chapter three: The Controlling Spell.

Incantation: Imperio

The controlling spell, was created by Madam Vexx so you could control people. As terrible as it may sound, the intention of the spell was so people could control someone into exercising and eating healthily –this would be a good benefit to someone who had an unhealthy diet. It also helped in cases where someone was going to commit suicide, by using the spell it allowed the caster to save the victim. However, a witch named Mila Veinner used this spell to control muggles and force them to do her bidding. She ordered them to kill and slaughter others. Although the spell wasn't banned until two years later in in 1714 when a wizard named Craudi Spenleik used the spell to force people into sleeping with him, to kill others, force them into suicide and to rob Gringotts for him –the latter was unsuccessful (for more information on Veinner and Spenleik read the book 'Famous Witches and Wizards from the 10th Century to 15th Century') . The spell then became banned and declared dark in 1714 again by the Ministry and called the Imperius Curse." That was the end of the chapter, the book had several more chapters by the looks of it but Harry decided to stop there for a bit, he looked over his notes. Each chapter had been given a page or two and completely filled with notes. Harry was impressed with his notes.

"Mr Potter sir, dinner be ready" A house elf suddenly said as it popped in front of him scaring the life out of him.

"Thank you. Please just call me Harry. What's your name?" Harry said shocking the elf,

"Neeny's name is Neeny, Harry Potter sir." She said timidly before popping away.

"Harry? Are you alright?" Narcissa asked concerned when the boy just stared at his plate, playing with the food on it instead of eating it.

"Hmm? Oh sorry, yes I am perfectly fine thank you" Harry replied as he snapped out of his thoughts. Despite being snapped out of his thoughts he only ate a little bit of his meal, much to the concern of everyone.

"How was Potion brewing and Prank making?" Harry asked George and Draco, it was most likely a bad question to ask considering the evil glint that appeared in George's eye.

"Potions brewing was good, distracting considering the moron here was blowing things up minute after minute." Draco answered, George just continued to grin like the maniac he was.

"How was reading Harry?" Tom asked

"Oh it was very interesting! The things you learn when you read." Harry said making all the students wince as he sounded so much like Hermione.

"Mate, you sound an awful lot like Hermione -oh no your becoming a..a...a bookworm- please don't torment our brains by going into detail about the new and amazing things you learnt that we most likely don't give a damn about." That was apparently the wrong thing for George to say because he got kicked in the shins and a smack to his head. Everyone chuckled at the pouting red head. The night quickly came and Harry fell asleep in the Black library after he had read a few more chapters.


Authors Notes:

Firstly, please continue to vote for who you want Harry to be with, but please can you use the poll instead of writing your votes in your reviews -because it's making it a bit difficult to see the overall votes. In the poll Tom has more votes but in the reviews a lot of you want it to be Draco. (Sorry for being a pain...) (I really don't mind who ends with who in this case because I like Tom x Harry and Draco x Harry, so up to you fabulous people really!)

Secondly, I was thinking if Harry ends up with Tom then i might have Draco with George ... just thought i'd tell you might not happen but ye...

Thirdly, I seriously (siriusly) doubt a chapter will be up until after Christmas so... MERRY CHRISTMAS! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hope the key is useful...
Also clearly most of the book stuff is completely made up.

Thank you for your reviews,
