Chapter 14: Demonic Spells And Demonic Plans
Kinetic Tower Common Room…
When Ginny woke up the next day, she found herself in Harry's arms on the floor of their common room. She looked behind her and saw Ron and Hermione cuddled together too. The picture would have been complete had it not been for Ron's 'wake up all of Britain' snoring. She was tempted to put two corks up his nose to shut him up, but thought the better of it.
Aww, please do the cork thing to him. He's driving me insane with his snoring. Harry thought to her.
"Spying on my thoughts now are we Potter?" She asked. He opened his eyes.
"Of course. Plus you didn't block them. Morning." He gave her a kiss on the lips and picked his glasses up.
"Morning. And I thought you would've got used to his snoring, you did spend 6 years sharing a room."
"Yeah but now I have a private bedroom I guess I kinda forgot about it. And how he could wake the whole bloody world with it."
"Hey, it's not that loud!" Ron said, turning around. In the midst of Ginny and Harry talking, Ron had been woken up and was listening. Hermione yawned.
"What time is it?" She asked sleepily. Harry checked his watch.
"Half 7. we better get ready and go down to breakfast." And within 40 minutes, they were on their way down to the great hall. There was a school owl waiting for them with a letter, bigger and thicker than usual, when they got there. It was address to 'Ginny Weasley and TKCO'. There were no prizes that it was for all of them but who from? They sat down, two on each side. Ron caught Draco's eye on the Slytherin table. 'The letter's from me Ron. Don't open it here, wait til after breakfast.' He thought to the Gryffindor, they'd explained about how to talk to Ron like this. Ron thought this to the rest of them and Ginny put the envelope in her pocket.
"I'll open it when I'm done with breakfast." She told them.
'Draco, it was a bit dangerous putting TKCO on it. What if someone guesses what it stands for?' Ron thought back to the Slytherin.
'Pur-lease. Hermione is the only one over there smart enough to realise what it means, you, Ginny and Harry only know because you are them.' He replied, biting into toast. So that was how he did it, distracting himself when he spoke to Ron.
They quickly ate their breakfast and left to read the letter in Kinetic Tower.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny,
Sorry this is a little scruffy, I had to write this quickly because I needed to get to the owlery before breakfast. I couldn't use Morpheus because the other Slytherins would realise I was sending you letters.
My mother owled me this morning and told me that the leader of the Underworld got killed, was it you and the Charmed Ones? I thought I'd tell you that my mother is still badgering me to become a demon, she said that she's going to do it too. She wants to restore order to the Wizarding world and kill all Muggleborns, half bloods and blood traitors. I thought I'd write this to tell you and warn you.
There's also a small book for each of you in here, I have one the same, its talk parchment. It means if one of us write on it, it shows up in every else's book. I thought it would be easier than writing letter's that are delivered later.
Draco
PS You need to put a drop of your blood on the cover if you only want it to answer to your writing.
They each picked up a book. They were small and leather bound.
"Thoughtful. And so much easier than sending letters or getting him over here."
"I know. We'll have to thank him."
"Thank whom, Miss Weasley?" Dumbledore's came from behind them.
"Oh that's not important. Why are you here Professor?" Harry asked.
"Now that the Source has been vanquished, I have the spell to put over the castle ready."
"When are you going to do it?" Ron asked.
"As soon as possible. Most probably during first period, while there is no one out of class. I have to be outside the castle for it to work." He told them.
Dumbledore explained more about the spell, then left them to get to their first classes.
A Little Later, Hogwarts Grounds…
Dumbledore recited the spell he had created, fulfilling what was needed. As he finished the spell, unseen to the students and other teachers, a blue hue glow covered the castle and the grounds. When it had stopped, the spell was totally complete. Anything that was a demon would now be drawn away. But he heard one scream that echoed across the grounds. A scream he was dreading…
Care Of Magical Creatures Lesson…
Hermione and Harry were paired together, with Ron paired with Neville. Today they were learning about centaurs. The whole class was working relatively quiet, until one high pitched scream pierced the morning air. Hermione fell to the floor, clutching her head. Harry was by her side and Ron a second later.
'Harry, she's in pain, loads of pain, I feel it all through our link. We need to get her to James or Lily.' Ron thought to Harry, who paled.
The whole class watched as Hagrid came over to them.
"Wha' happened?" He asked them, worried.
"Dunno, she just fell." Harry said. "Ron, help me get her to the hospital wing." Ron helped half carry Hermione across the grounds. "Hermione, what happened? What's hurting you?"
'Hurts so bad… Ron help me, it hurts so much… make it go away…' She whimpered in his head.
'Shh, it's ok Hermione. When we get you to the hospital wing, we'll get James or Lily to heal you. Hold on baby, we're gonna get you there.' He thought back to her. "Harry, call Ginny, she'll want to know." Harry nodded.
Ginny, you need to get out of Charms now, Hermione's been hurt by something, we don't know what.
What happened? Ginny thought back quickly, sounding worried.
We don't know. One minute she was fine, the next she's clutching her head in pain. Get down to the hospital wing as soon as you can.
I'll be there in 10.
"Ginny's gonna be there soon." They passed the entrance hall, where Dumbledore was waiting for them with Paige.
"I was worried about this. The spell I cast over the castle was to draw out any demons. Hermione must have demon in her, perhaps caused by her demonic power."
"Can we just get her to the hospital wing first? Professor, would you take the charm off as quickly as you can please?" Paige asked. Dumbledore left for the grounds once again and Paige orbed the four of them to the hospital wing.
Hospital Wing…
"So how come Dumbledore didn't take the spell off straight away?" Harry asked Paige. Hermione was fine now, lying in a bed. The others were around her, waiting for her to regain consciousness.
"He called for me first so I could orb you here." Paige explained.
"He changed the spell right?" Ron asked, concerned. He didn't want this to happen to his girlfriend ever again.
"Yes, he's tweaking it as we speak." Paige said.
"That's good." Hermione said, weakly. She opened her eyes to find Ron there straight next to her.
"Mione, you frightened the hell out of all of us back there." He told her.
"Well sorry if my head felt like it was going to split off into a thousand pieces." She snapped back. The air in the room grew hotter and hotter as she forgot about her Thermokinesis. "Once you know what it's like then you can complain about it."
"He was just worried about you Hermione, we all were." Harry defended his oldest friend.
"It was no excuse to snap at him Mione." Ginny told her best friend.
Hermione sighed. "I know, I'm sorry guys."
"Ah miss Granger, back with us I see." Dumbledore said behind them. They turned to face him.
"Professor, why did that spell affect Hermione the way it did?" Ron asked the headmaster.
"My only idea is that it was because if her powers. Energy balls are a demonic power and so anyone with them would have been included in the spell. I have now changed it so any person with evil intent on anyone in the castle will be in serious pain until off the premises."
Hermione nodded. "That's a good idea sir. I don't feel like having that pain in my head again."
'Good. I don't feel like you feeling like that too. Once was enough for one lifetime.' He thought to her. He put his arms around her.
"Miss Granger, I believe that you should stay here until dinner so you can rest." Dumbledore told him. "I'm sure Madam Pomfrey will think so too."
Hermione opened her mouth to argue, but shut it again. She knew that no one won an argument against Madam Pomfrey. She just nodded and Dumbledore left.
"Hermione, you feel ok now?" Paige asked.
She nodded. "Yeah, just a little woozy. I don't see why I have to miss out on lessons though." Harry, Ron and Ginny burst into laughter. "What?"
"Hermione, you never like to miss lessons." Harry told her. She opened her mouth to argue once again but he was did have a point.
Later, Kinetic Tower Common Room…
"So what do you think the demons are planning now the Source is dead?" Hermione asked.
"Not too sure about the answer to that." James replied. "They could try to re group or try to appoint a new Source and get him coronated."
"Great, that's just great." Ginny said sarcastically.
"Well it might not be true. Let's just have you focus on your exams for now, the castle is protected so don't worry about it." Lily told them.
Underworld…
"I say attack those new Charmed Ones!" A random demon shouted, slamming his fist onto a table. The surviving demons were around a table, discussing new plans.
"We can't, we can't get into that school. We have to have a plan that will lure them away and hurt them where it will make the most pain."
"One of their Whitelighters is pregnant, kidnap her and raise the child to be our new Source." The first told them. "Lure them away, injure them and she will come."
"All in favour say aye." Another demon said. Every demon shouted "AYE!". The plans began, slowly but surely.
