While Harry is busy doing his homework, he cannot help but think about his plans on starting a new nation, and of his ideals of suicide-victims.
Later the next day, during lunch, Harry goes to the library to look up oaths. Harry, planning on starting a new nation, plans on making a constitution with an unbreakable oath, one where they swear to be suicide-victims.
Harry approaches the librarian. "Do you have any books on basic unbreakable oaths and contracts?"
"Yes, they are in aisle 3, row 4."
Harry turned around and walked over to the rows. Harry knows that his family is known for massive debts that are eventually written off as losses due to events out of control. But what if they were to be known for another thing, for suicide-victimhood.
Harry's thoughts wandered back to the books, finding one called "Oaths and Oathbreakers". Picking it up, he looks to the index, and finds a chapter on basic oath contracts.
"The paper must be drenched in a potion made with the essentials of the spirit of the oath to be taken. The fine print of the lettering of the oath is important, but it is the spirit of the oath that is vital to be imbued into the paper to be signed."
Harry's thoughts quickly turned to muggle versions of suicide-victims. In WW2, the Nazis tried to make the slavic people victims. By killing them off and using their land. But the slavic people instead turned themselves into suicide-victims, rushing the Nazis under-equipped, to push the Nazis back.
Another muggle example also was in Harry's mind. For the terror attack on 9/11 on flight 93, where instead of hitting the Whitehouse, the victims inside the plane turned themselves into suicide-victims, and overpowered the terrorists, plunging the plane into a vacant lot.
Harry needed to gather samples from both the slavic and the flight 93, to put in a potion to drench the contract in the spirit of the oath that he wanted to forge.
In Harry's society, those that agree to be suicide-victims won't have to pay back debts, like his family. The family associated with a suicide-victim can get large debts, and then not pay any of them back.
Just as there is pure-blood supremacy in the wizarding world, in his society there would be suicide-victim supremacy against those that aren't in the front lines of it.
Those in the front of the lines, that take the most damage from the suicide-victim mentality, would be eligible for large loans, and would not have to pay them back, just like how his family lives. Like Debt Lords.
Harry went to the librarian and takes the book out. Harry is busy looking at the other potion ingredients, besides wreckage from flight 93 and artifacts of the slavic fight in WW2, when he bumps into Hermione.
Hermione startles up, "are you okay?"
"Yeah, I am fine."
Hermione seemed to want to say something, but is unsure how to bring it up.
"So, um, I heard that you visited the third floor corridor a night ago?"
Harry looked around. "Yeah, went there one night."
"Did you discover anything? What is hiding in the third floor corridor?"
"Oh. Yeah, there is a three headed dog guarding some trap door."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah, I know. It doesn't make any sense."
"Why would there be a three headed dog in Hogwarts? And what could it possibly be guarding? I need to do some research."
Hermione then moved past Harry into the library, where she dutifully went down the rows taking book after book off the shelves.
Harry continued down to the dungeons, where his potions class is set to happen at the end of lunch. Perhaps he could ask Professor Snape for some of the ingredients?
Harry quickly parried that though away. He would need to steal the ingredients.
Once outside the classroom, it is a while before lunch ended and the rest of the first years approached the door.
As Snape, the worst teacher in Hogwarts, put up his false and misleading instructions onto the black board, Harry went to the cupboards to gather the ingredients for the class and to steal some of the ingredients needed for his contract.
From newt eyes to beetle wings, Harry collected a small stash.
Once in class, he subtly dropped the stolen goods into his bag, and went back to checking three different sources for how to do a simple pepper up potion.
By the end of the lesson, no one made a perfect batch, although some came close.
Harry hurried off to supper, stealing some more food for the twins, and then off to his dorms, where he needed to start the potion, as it was a very long one.
