Ok, so I've been getting requests for a summary of what has happened so far and I meant to do this sooner but school grabbed me and dragged me into the blinding sunlight of daytime activity and disorderly human activity. But now that I'm finally tucked back into the darkness of my cave, I found myself with the time to do a summary. Sorry about the long wait on this and the next chapter will be out shortly.
So far in Coven Wars.....
Hermione has returned to Hogwarts with the rest of the students on the night of the anniversary of her Father and Mothers deaths. Th same night, she got into a confrontation with Draco, who saw a bit of her true appearance that night. When they part, Hermione retreats to a room where the original founders slept while Draco goes to a suite with three bedrooms where him, Pansy, Greg, and Vincent sleep when at school. Its revealed that Pansy, Greg, and Vincent use charm potions when at school and aren't followers of Voldimort. Also Pansy and Greg are dating.
That same night, Senitra (the female basilisk) was stolen from the Chamber, where she had been kept safely, along with one of her three children: Natasha, Nicolas, and Nagini. Nagini had been taken years ago and Nicolis was stolen that night. Hermione, also called Harmony depending on who the speaker was, removed Natasha from the Chamber and left her in the Hall of the Founders, a secret room accessible only to descendants of the original founders, following Dumbledores call for Senitra's head. She then went to potions class with her brother, TJ, who she pretends to not be related to while in school.
The two of them discover an old ally, Zane (Mr. Kargoff to students), disguised as a teacher of Russian at the school, placed primarily for extra protection. The three form a plan to get Harry to speak to Natasha who, though blind, witnessed her brother being taken from the Chamber. They write a letter and send it the next morning where it is received by Harry, though Dumbledore states that the teachers should handle the situation.
They are interrupted, however, when a second ally to Hermione and TJ, Azrial, joins them that same morning as the new Arithmacy teacher. Immediately following Azrials grand arrival, Dumbledore calls Harry and Ron to his office, asking that Hermione come up when she returns inside. Once in the office, the three start making plans in reaction to the letter but are interrupted when Faux and the Hat start talking about the "True Heir" but before a name can be given, Pansy, dressed in a guards robes and unidentifiable, interrupts, silencing the Hat and evicting Matilda (the Grey Lady) from the body of Faux, whom she had possessed. Pansy then vanishes and meets back up with Draco, Vincent, and Greg who are waiting for her to return.
Hermione and McGonagall appeared shortly after Pansy's disappearance. The Hat had its mouth bound shut during the conflict and Hermione uses Swizardry (a mix of Sorcery and Wizardry) to release the Hat without thinking, which gives away that she is not all that she appears to be. An argument ensues in which Hermione manages to convince Harry and Ron that she is there friend, only to have that argument shattered when they suggest she would be in Slytherin otherwise and the hat informs them that he tried to place her there. This causes the argument to start up again, leading Hermione to silence the hat and storm from the room.
Following her hasty exit, TJ appears and fills the ground in on a few vital pieces of information, specifically that Hermione's real name is Harmony, she's a Slythen-Claw, a sorceress, and that Voldimort is their grandfather (who they both want to see dead). Its also revealed that they have a sister, who TJ only knows as Sister because her name was erased from his memory for security reasons. He leaves following this revelation. Meanwhile, Hermione is asked to pass judgment on the Grey Lady, who she orders imprisoned for the time being, and is informed that a guard she thought had long ago abandoned her is still around.
That night she goes and visits the guard, greeting them with her real face instead of the one that is hidden behind her concealing spells. Its revealed that her and Draco were very close before she disappeared. Following her brief visit, she goes to place her concealing charms back in place only to come across the basilisk she believes to be Senitra chasing a group of students. Its only when she faces down the basilisk that she realizes its Nikolas and not Senitra she's facing. Draco saves her when she freezes up while facing the basilisk. She insists on going to talk to TJ about the basilisks, opting to reveal to Draco her undercover identity while they're walking to meet TJ.
Meanwhile, the second year Griffindore students being chased by Nikolas reach the common room, only one of them insists they need to go back out and save the woman he saw facing down the basilisk in the hallway. Harry and Ron immediately try to get out of the room, but find they are sealed inside the room with the other students, who are all now frozen in place. Azrial has used arcane magic at this point to seal off the room and freeze all but Harry and Ron, whom Azrial and Zane were informed know the truth. Harry and Ron are filled in on Hermione and TJ's bloodline lineage and the way their eyes make them impervious to the stare of a basilisk. They're also informed that Ginny petrified Hermione second year using a spell, not the basilisk. Discussing the matter brings another idea to the front: Hermione is immune to spells like impervious but TJ is not and he has access to the chamber.
Outside in the hallways, Hermione and Draco make it down to the main hall and meet up with TJ there. However, their meeting is interrupted when the basilisk comes striking by the group and out the front doors. Hermione gives chase, leaving Draco and TJ at the castle as she goes into the Forbidden Forest.
The next morning, Draco enters the great hall, only to have his morning upended when Dumbledore reveals that two students were found dead that morning by the basilisks hand. Even worse those, is when a corps of sorcerer guards enters the school to retrieve TJ from the school, announcing to Draco and TJ before the hall that Hermione's body was witnessed being carried into the Ministry of Magic halls the previous night. From what had been seen, she looked dead.
Draco insists on being allowed to go with the sorcerer's to the Ministry where they are heading to confront the minister on the matter. Meanwhile, Pansy, Vincent, and Greg head off to retrieve Hermione's sister from her hiding spot, which Draco only knows a riddle to. Pansy figures it out quickly however and the three head off.
When Draco reaches the ministry with the sorcerer's, he hides beneath an invisibility cloak and is met by Neferu, an Egyptian looking woman and a sorcerer undercover in the Ministry. She's also a vampire. Her and Draco head off to search the Ministry for Hermione, locating her at last in one of the lower store rooms. When she's found, she is alive but appears near death. Draco carefully carries her from the room and moves to take her from the Ministry to the safety of Hogwarts.
Wow, two pages. Yikes. Sorry for the long summary, and I may have included some unimportant stuff for which I apologize. If there are any more questions about what has happened before, feel free to send a review asking for more info. Hopefully the next chapter will be out shortly. Thanks for your patience!
