Chapter 54.
Harry and his girls went to their classes having on minor issues. Defense against the dark arts classes were cancelled on account of having no teacher. But they did have assurance from the new headmistress that classes will be starting up again tomorrow.
Harry and Hermione were excelling in Runes. Daphne watched the two and was intrigued by how Harry was handling himself in class. He looked to be having no issues at all.
She was in Potions with Harry before and he didn't show this kind of skill before.
In Charms Luna was advancing quickly with only minor issues in class with Fleur's aid. Her personal items disappearing hadn't happened either.
One of the Ravenclaws saw Luna's glasses sticking out of her pocket, they tried to steal them using the levitation charm only to be stopped by Fleur. The Young Veela had sent a chilling glare towards the Ravenclaw as if saying not to try again.
"Now if we could return to the lesson left by the deputy headmaster Flitwick, proper wand movement is essential in charms."
Susan was in Herbology being verbally assaulted with questions by her best friend Hannah Abbot.
"Wait, you mean over the summer Lord Potter-Black got his titles and you're now bonded and through that bond you're the new Lady Gryffindor?"
Susan nodded and her friend Hannah was overwhelmed by the shock.
"And Harry has multiple titles and you're in a bonded relationship with a boy and three other girls?"
Susan shook her head and smiled. "Nope, I'm in a relationship with 3 other women and a man." She said adding a wink. Hannah was a little surprised at her friends new-found confidence. She looked at Susan and said, "that's incredible, I'm the best friend of the new Lady Gryffindor!"
Meanwhile Ginny struggled through her day, the lust had built steadily over the and could only be tempered by her self-indulgence.
She couldn't help giving into her carnal desires between classes as the boys, when the teacher wasn't looking, would steal glances of her and her new assets.
Ginny had to hide in the girl's bathroom and indulge herself. If she didn't, she feared she would have grabbed one of the boys and drag them into the nearest broom closet. What was worse was her lust had been building faster than she could jill off and she was becoming less satisfied by mere masturbation alone. She was also sickened by the fact that she was imagining Draco Malfoy when she did so.
In another part of the castle McGonagall was busy getting things in order in her new office while maintaining her Transfiguration classes.
Down in the Slytherin's common room the snakes were conversing with each other. Malfoy was brooding with Pansy Parkinson draped over him trying to fix his mood. Despite Pansy's attempts, Malfoy was furious. Potter was getting more popular and more powerful. He needed an edge, he needed to bring Harry to his knees.
"Draco, I'm bored, lets go find something to do." Pansy then kissed Draco on the neck. As she did she unbutton two buttons on her blouse.
Draco annoyed, shoved Pansy off. "Not now Pansy I need to find a way to deal with Potter. He won't get away with looking down at me."
Pansy smiled and got up and dusted herself off. "Well Draco, think about it. If one is to bring another to their knee's, one must first exploit their weakness. Now think what's Potter's weakness?"
Draco frowned. "His friends, wait no." Seeing Draco had discovered his answer, she climbed on to Draco and put her arms around his neck.
Pansy smiled. "Correct, his women and if they get hurt then that will drive Potter over the edge."
Draco smiled. "Yes attack Granger and the others."
Pansy lovingly rested her hand on his face and caressed it. "Yes exactly, attack the women and then Potter will be at your mercy."
Draco smiled wickedly and went to go plan with Crabbe and Goyle as well as recruiting Nott and Zabini.
Draco then looked to Daphne Greengrass. "Daphne, I'm recruiting help to put Potter in his place, care to join in?"
Daphne looked to Draco, her gaze as cold as polar ice. The other snakes knew not to say a word for they feared the ice queen.
"Do as you wish Draco Malfoy, but Tracey Davis, Astoria and I are to be left out. Is that clear?"
Draco felt as if a cold chill was running down his spine and looked to see Daphne's wand was pointed at him. Draco sneered "Of course, well then I'll leave you then."
Daphne left through the door way and walked away.
Hermione was just finishing studying her last class and suddenly she ran into Daphne.
"Daphne, what are you doing here? It's almost curfew."
Daphne looked to Hermione. "Yes, I know but I thought as a friend I should tell you not all is quiet down in the snake pit. Be on your guard you and the other girls, Malfoy is plotting."
Hermione became concerned and Daphne turned and continued walking, only to look back "Also Hermione congratulations on your bonding."
Hermione thanked Daphne and headed towards Harry and the others.
Hermione reached Gryffindor's suite and she informed Harry and the others about what Daphne had said.
Harry was not pleased about Malfoy scheming. Hermione then thought for a moment. She then looked to Harry. "Harry, do you have any coins?"
Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out five galleons, Hermione took them from his hand. Susan looked to Hermione. "What are you going to do with them Hermione?"
Hermione pulled out her runic kit. "I read ahead in our books and found something called a protean charm and if I get it to work it would just be like how Voldemort communicates with his death munchers. That way, if any of us get into trouble,"
Fleur smiled "The others will know and be able to run to the person's aid, that's brilliant."
Hermione smiled. "Thank you. I'll get right to work on them."
Hermione worked diligently and had made the inscriptions on the coin and now for the magic needed. She grabbed her wand and waved it over the coin. She examined her work seeing everything had gone well but she wasn't finished.
She soon had a second coin ready and now she had to test it, she tried focusing her magic in the coin but nothing happened. She looked over the coin and saw a minor error, She picked up her tools for runes and deepened one of the runes and tried again. The first coin suddenly began to glow. Happy with her efforts Hermione got to work on the rest of the coins.
Soon Hermione had finished the rest of them and made sure they all worked.
