AN: You know what keeps me awake at night? Every word in the dictionary is just a combination of different letters from the alphabet.

Jaenera Targaryen: Khorne won't be in the story, given how he has a very negative opinion on sorcery and the story is primarily set in a world of sorcery, he won't be in it and Ron won't go over to them given his opinion on anything that might be considered something away from the light. And with Nurgle? Well you'll just have to wait and see what happens :)

bkerrmom1: First off thank you so much for the reviews of all those chapters, it really makes my day that much brighter when I read reviews like that so thank you and I'm glad that you enjoy this fanfic.

With Luna, as she can see things that are impossibilities and thing that can be possibilities, the reflected gaze of the basilisk didn't work on her.

Hopefully the way I write Neville will continue to be enjoyable in the rest of the story as much as he is right now.

Will Neville become a follower? Just have to wait and see really :)

Chapter 20 – Attack & The Mock Duel

It was an even Thursday evening when the entirety of Gryffindor house was awoken by a loud, feminine scream.

As both towers came rushing out of their dorm rooms, not a single student noticed a black dog race from the room, panicking from all the noise the other students were making.

As the Gryffindors crowed around the third year boys dorm room as Percy tried to quieten everyone down as to try to gain a sense of control over the situation.

This went on for a few minutes before everyone was silenced by a loud Scottish yell.

"Everyone will calm down now! Or else they will serve detention will Professor Snape for a week!"

Everyone's eyes widened with mouths clamping shut in total silence as they heard their head of house yell loudly.

"Now, will someone please tell me what has got you all in such a state that needed my attention at 12 o'clock in the morning?" McGonagall said as she looked over the crowd, waiting for her answer.

"I-i-it w-w-was S-s-sirius B-l-lack Professor, he was standing right above me with a knife," Ron said with a slight stutter.

McGonagall's eyes widened as she quickly strode over to Ron with an intense look in her eyes.

"Are you sure Weasley? Are you completely certain it was Black?" McGonagall demanded.

Ron blanched slightly as he watched his head of house quickly stride over to him with what he deemed as a glare and quickly answered her question.

"It was definitely Black ma'am, he had a feral look in his eye as he stared at me with a knife in his hand," Ron said with a pale face.

McGonagall's face turned white, as she fully comprehended what the Weasley boy was saying; Sirius Black had entered Hogwarts without anyone noticing, and then gained entry to the Gryffindor house.

McGonagall quickly summoned a house elf and instructed it to get the headmaster, even if he was asleep.

The house elf quickly popped away and after a few seconds, popped back with a wide-awake headmaster with a concerned look in his eyes.

"What is it Minerva?" Albus asked his friend as he saw that she was slightly pale.

"Black was inside the castle, just now" Minerva said with a no-nonsense look.

Albus' eyes widened and face paled as he frantically called out to Hogwarts to seal the castle, with all entries and exits included.

"He has made his move then, what puzzles me is why Gryffindor? Shouldn't he know that young Harry is in Ravenclaw?" Albus asked rhetorically to the air.

"I honestly don't know headmaster but these students are shaken up, something must be done to calm their nerves," Minerva slightly pled to her old friend.

"You're right Minerva, students please listen to me" Albus got the attention of every single student as he spoke.

"From now on, every student will sleep in the great hall until further notice, this is for you protection" Albus raised his voice slightly as he saw a few students start to grumble at the injustice of sleeping in the great hall.

"Right then students, gather your things and meet me back down here so that I may escort you to the hall," Minerva said with a slight glare, daring anyone to say otherwise.

Not one student tried to say any different after the glare from their head of house and raced up to gather their sleeping equipment while whispering to their friends at what might happen next.

Minerva turned towards the headmaster and saw that he was deep in thought about what should happen next.

"Obviously you stay here Minerva and then escort the students down to the great hall; I'll go to the other heads and inform them about the situation" Albus said and with a slight nod to each other, they parted way with one staying and the other to inform the other heads.

Scene break

In the Ravenclaw common room, after Professor Flitwick had gathered his ravens, he explained to them about the situation and their new sleeping arrangements.

After learning that Sirius Black had tried to attack a Gryffindor just earlier, nearly all the ravenclaws tried to subtly cast Harry glances but was not very good at them as Harry saw every single one of them and gave them a tiny glare in return.

"What's going to happen now?" Luna asked as she stood close to Harry, as if she was seeking his protection.

"Well Luna my dear, we will gather our sleeping gear, meet back here and you still stick close to me, no arguments about it as you are my friend and I care about you" Harry gave her a smile and received one in return as they went to gather their kit.

After returning with their gear, they caught up with Hermione who only looked at them and gave Harry a nod, conveying her support.

When the students began to file out of their common room with Professor Flitwick standing guard over them with a few house elves, Harry whispered ever so slightly so that only she would hear.

"It's time to step up our training, after all this has blown over, we go to our training area and learn more" Hermione nodded in agreement but stopped what she was going to say as Harry began to whisper again.

"Also, I think it is time I introduced my little Luna here to my teacher"

Hermione's eyes widened slightly as she listened to what Harry had said.

"Are you sure that is even wise?"

"The Great Conspirator has deemed it is time, as cliché as it sounds, it is destiny," Harry whispered as the Ravenclaws entered the great hall.

After all the students had arrived in the great hall, Dumbledore stood at the front to address the students.

"As you all have been told, Sirius Black somehow managed to infiltrate the castle and failed in an attack on a student in Gryffindor house, you are going to sleeping in the great hall until further, it is for your protection, if you need to use the utilities, a house elf will escort you to them and escort you back"

As the headmaster finished, the students began to arrange their sleeping bags according to their houses but with several groups of friends sticking together.

While the students were arranging themselves, Harry looked around the room, caught the eyes of Daphne, Lavender and Padma, and gave them reassuring nods as they looked at him with hidden concern.

Harry, Hermione and Luna were such a group as they arranged their sleeping bags with Luna on Harry's left and Hermione on his right.

"What do you think will happen with classes?" Hermione whispered as they laid their heads down to try to get back to sleep.

"I don't know what they'll probably continue but with stricter rules, now let us sleep, we need rest"

Hermione nodded and relaxed as she slowly but surely drifted off to sleep.

After making sure everyone else was asleep, Harry made sure his eyes closed and concentrated while achieving a focus he needed to view the web, not noticing his newest gift was slightly glowing.

Vision sequenced start

Harry watched as his view of the web streamed past him, images with blurry faces that he did not recognise zoomed past him constantly as he tried to find what he was looking for.

After what seemed like a few minutes, he finally got to the string he was looking for.

In the string, he saw Professor Lupin talking to someone in a fireplace, with the person's face he was talking to made from fire.

"Sirius that was too close, I know that you almost got him but this time it was too risky, Dumbledore has locked the castle down with the students sleeping in the great hall" Lupin said.

"I know Remus but I was so close! If that Weasley boy hadn't woken up I would've succeeded!" Black argued for his own sake.

"I know Sirius, calm down, but we need to take our time before we finish what we started, I'll try to talk to Harry again but if it's anything like last time, it won't be pretty" Lupin said with a sad smile.

'You got that right you traitorous wretch!' Harry thought furiously as he watched his own Professor speak to Black in a friendly manner.

Harry watched for a few more minutes before both Lupin and Black said their goodbye to each other and retreated from the fireplace.

'It would seem as if there are two traitors to my family, oh well, double the vengeance, and double the satisfaction' Harry thought darkly as he himself retreated from the dreamscape.

Vision sequence end

Scene break

By the halfway point of the duration of staying in the great hall, Harry had gathered Hermione and Luna and brought them over to an unused corridor so as no one could overhear them.

"Luna, it's time for you to fully understand what is happening" Harry said slightly ominously but gave her a small smile to belay any fears that she might have had.

Luna only smiled in return, nodded in acceptance with Harry's plans, and stood next to Harry in her quirky readiness for whatever she meets next.

With Luna ready to go, Harry looked over to Hermione and saw that she too was ready but had a slight look of a apprehension in her eyes about the whole explaining but agreed to Harry's plan.

After a few minutes of walking in silence, Hermione asked Harry a question that had been going through her mind since the ordering of the house elves to watch over the students during the day.

"Harry, how come we are able to do this? Shouldn't a house elf stopped us by now or gotten a teacher to stop us?"

"There is a house elf that is watching us currently, just not one that reports to the headmaster, Dobby!" Harry summoned his house elf friend.

With an almost silent pop of air, Dobby the house elf popped right in front of Harry and his friends with a guilty smile on his face.

"I is being sorry's Miss Hermy, but Harry Potter asked Dobby to look outs for yous during the day and stop other house elves from watching over yous, Dobby is proud to serve Mister Harry Potter" Dobby finished with a big smile on his face, indicating how proud he truly was.

"So all the time during the day, Dobby has been watching over all three of us? Shouldn't that be taxing on the elf?" Hermione queried with an eyebrow raised.

However, as Hermione finished, Harry took over the conversation with the answer he had been waiting for.

"Probably yeah, but then again how much study has gone into researching house elf magic? They are wondrous little creatures aren't they?" Harry smiled brightly at Dobby and with a final nod to him began to continue walking towards the Chamber.

Scene break

After entering the Chamber of Secrets, now named the Chamber of the Dark Gods because Harry and Hermione could not really come up with anything better than that, Harry directed Luna towards the stone altar with the two icons depicting the symbols of the Architect of Fate and the Prince of Pleasure.

"Just walk up to it and kneel before it, what happens next will depend on the person" Harry finished in a low whisper.

Harry and Hermione watched as Luna slowly walked up to the altar and kneeled before the icon of Tzeentch kneeled.

After a few moments, Luna began to shake slightly and soon after began to shake almost violently but while she shook, Harry and Hermione stood where they were, not interfering in the slightest, as they knew, it would bring repercussions from their gods.

While Luna lay on the floor conversing with Tzeentch, Harry and Hermione decided to have a mock duel but decided to use daemons to test themselves, as they believed the Chamber was large enough for a small mock duel with daemons.

Harry walked over to one end of the chamber while Hermione walked over to the other with her wand out to one side with her hand covered in what seemed to be different coloured halos slowly circling it but Harry knew they were pulses of the sensual music of Slaanesh.

However, before they started, Hermione called out to Harry with a point of concern that included their friend.

"Shouldn't we put shields over her or something? We're about to summoned daemons and cast some offensive spells at each, the least we could do is protect her"

"Good point, how about this; the both of us put some warp fire around her and the altar BUT, we keep it up and continue with our duel, it'll push our limits plus more training for us, sound good?" Harry offered as a suggestion.

Hermione thought it over for a few moments but ultimately agreed with the plan and the both of them concentrated and smile in happiness as they saw a bright burst of flames surround Luna and the altar.

After getting back into their original positions, the two of them watched each other for movement and after an unspoken word, the two began to trade spell after spell back and forth with determination in their eyes.

After a few minutes of trading spells between the two, Hermione decided to pick up the pace slightly and summoned the first daemon of the match.

From the burst of warp fire, the daemonette sprang forth with a sickly sweet smile directed at Harry, it charged towards him with claws ready to strike him down.

As Harry noticed the daemonette rush towards him, he quickly summoned his own daemon and from it sprang forth an excitably, chittering and madly smiling Pink Horror.

The horror then noticed that the daemonette, who could not stop at this point, was incidentally rushing toward him and with a mad grin sprang at the daemonette with its gaping maw and hands alight with fire.

Harry and Hermione watched as their respective daemons clashed together with tooth and claw, hacking at each other with the more than often ball of warp fire appearing from the two.

However, while their daemons were fighting, they did not stop their own duel as they restarted casting their spells with even more ferocity at each other.

After a few more spells traded back and forth, the daemonette cried in triumph as it slew the horror down and then turned towards Harry with a sadistic grin on its face.

Harry only gave it knowing smile in return and pointed towards the splitting body of the horror and to the daemonette's annoyance, the pink horror and turned into two smaller horrors, but they were now blue.

The blue horrors pounced back into the fray with the daemonette again but this time you could see the two arguing and squabbling between the two of them.

Hermione could see that her daemonette was having a bit of trouble and so she summoned another daemonette to her side and watched as the two daemonettes fought side by side and sliced apart the little blue horrors and made sure that they weren't coming back again.

Again the daemonettes turned towards Harry but this time they ran faster at him and tried to attack before he could summon more of his own but failed as he did in fact summon more daemons; three more pink horrors.

Hermione watched as Harry's took down her daemons with two of the three horrors turning into blues but by the end of the scrap, Harry's horrors stood victorious and started to close in on her.

"Enough! The duel is finished" Tzeentch's voice rang out, interrupting and stopping their duel with Harry banishing the horrors back into the warp at his patrons words.

By the end of the duel, both Harry and Hermione had a light film of sweat on their brow but it just went to show that even when they are the champions of their gods, they still had a long way to go before they could duel as if it were like breathing.

"Your friend, the girl who sees what should not be possible, is completely fine champion, do not fret" Tzeentch said with a slight chuckle as he saw Harry look at Luna with concern in his eyes for her safety.

As the warp barrier died down, Harry and Hermione looked past the barrier to see the condition of their young friend and quickly went over to view her condition close up.

When Luna rose up from her position off the floor, she looked at her two friends with a big smile and twinkling eyes.

Both Harry and Hermione looked slightly stunned at seeing Lunas form as she slowly rose, keeping a hand on the altar for balance, as it seemed that her conversation with Tzeentch had drained her.

"How are you feeling?" Harry asked Luna as he grabbed one of her arms and gave her his body for support.

"I'm fine Harry, but thank you for your concern about my health, your patron Tzeentch, he had quite the story to tell me and what's to happen," Luna said in a more serious voice.

"And what's to happen my dear Luna?" Harry's eyes slightly narrowed in puzzlement.

"Well firstly, I've been given the task of sticking with you from Tzeentch, not that I would've left my best friend but I think this will help the cause a bit more" after Luna said that she slowly turned her head around and drew back her dirty blonde hair to reveal that on the back of her head, hidden deep within her hair was an Eye of Tzeentch, staring back at them.

"Well, well, well, it seems like today is full of surprises isn't it my dear Luna?" Harry smirked as his ice blue eyes stared into hers.

"It would seem so Harry" Luna smiled back at him, with her equally ice blue eyes staring back into his.

Now that Sirius Black has struck, will the next time he tries be the one that succeeds? Will the concern that Harry's friends from the other houses make them become person of suspicious from their own houses? Also, now that Luna has joined Tzeentchs side, will her mutations from the eyes of Tzeentch help Harry in his quest for vengeance against Sirius Black? Moreover, will Hermione gain a follower to match Harry and bring it about even? Find out next time on Temptation!
