"Okay team we are facing the ravens now and they only go for every move with a plan and pattern, recognise it and we will have the match. So we play defence in the first 15 minutes and see where they play and who concentrates on passing and scoring. Higgs, you would be our match-winner as chasers will be hard-pressed to score like we did with Griffindor so catch that snitch as soon as possible. Now Draco I want you to concentrate on scoring the other chasers will support you as best as they can and beaters you know what to do. Now let's win this match" Flint said as we flew to the pitch amidst the roar of the stadium and positioned ourselves in the air.
Just like Flint said we played defence against Ravenclaw which they did not expect. The other chasers concentrated on running interference against Ravenclaw I concentrated on scoring goals. In the first 30 minutes, Ravenclaw had 40 points while Slytherin scored 30. But after this, we switched our tactics to aggressive attacks. The scoreboard moved for Slytherin while the raven's remained indwell. When Slytherin scored 100 points I saw the snitch and Cho Chang the Ravenclaw seeker flying towards it and on the opposite side, I saw Higgs coming. Seeing this I broke off from my position and placed myself in front of Cho blocking her from moving forward which made Higgs catch up to the snitch and caught it in a quick swipe of his palm. The whole Slytherin stand roared and expressed their happiness in yet another victory. Slytherin 250 and Ravenclaw 40.
The celebrations in the common room were going on to the night but I was in Myrtle's bathroom looking at the entrance of the chamber. I hissed 'open' in Parseltongue and the chamber opened itself and a hole could be seen where it was. I hissed 'stairs' and stairs appeared and once I entered it I closed the entrance with another hiss and walked further. I lit the wand with Lumos spell as it was dark inside and after 10 minutes of walking, I entered the corridor leading to the chamber. The ground was littered with bones as it cracked under my footsteps and I saw the shed skin of the basilisk on my way. Walking further I reached another door and hissed 'open' and it swung open and I entered the chamber. It was just like in the movies the sides were filled with statues of snakes while at the opposite end of the hall there was a huge statue of Slytherin. I walked towards it and when I neared it I took out my enchanted trunk and expanded it. Then opening it I took out two roosters and placed them under the imperius curse then cast a sonorous charm on them and commanded them to cry. Their crying revived the Basilisk from its slumber as it thrashed inside the statue in agony and died shortly after.
I could have tried to speak with it and tame it but I could not take the chance of it attacking me. I did not have the blood of Salazar Slytherin in my veins so it would attack me regardless. From the memories of Voldemort, the Basilisk can only be controlled by those who have Slytherins blood as he has performed some binding blood magic on the snake. Besides even if it obeyed me when Voldemort eventually returns he could just as easily take control of it. No, it is better not to give the enemy more weapons to use. Besides, the basilisk will be very useful for a ritual that I had in mind. Its hide has interesting properties and its regenerative abilities are off the charts as well as the ability to store massive amounts of magic in its body which it uses for its glare of death. But first I will have to harvest it properly.
So I summoned Twinky into the chamber. The wards only prevent house elves from entering here on their own but they can be summoned if the summoner is inside the chamber already. I opened the mouth of the statue using Parseltongue.
"Twinky I want you to harvest all the valuable parts of the Basilisk. The venom must be stored in separate glass vials and all of the basilisk fangs must be preserved as well and I want you to collect its brain but be very careful it has a lot of magic stored in its brain. Am I understood." I said to the elf
"Twinky understands master. Twinky will start right away." it said
I left the chamber and relocked it and decided to go for a swim. So I left for the room of requirement.
The next day I was alerted by Twinky that she had completed her task. I patted the little elf for a job well done and gave her a cream cake I asked the Hogwarts elves to prepare. She promptly burst into tears at the generosity shown to her by her obviously kind and powerful master.
With the Basilisk parts now in my possession, I set out to design a ritual to absorb its magical properties. The ability to absorb ambient magic, magic resistive body and the huge regeneration capabilities will give my body a superior advantage against my enemies.
So the following months I spent my free time scouring the library and the ROR on books of magical rituals. With days of research and effort, I was able to create a ritual that I would need. But there was a problem. In my research about rituals, I realised something. Every ritual that is designed to absorb the properties of any other being it will also absorb its weakness that is inherent to its magic. In this case, the cry of a rooster would be a problem for me. So I would have to somehow cleanse this weakness to balance out the ritual. At the top of my head, the only thing I know that can resist a Basilisk was a Phoenix but somehow I doubt I can obtain the services of one.
Ao if I cannot obtain a Phoenix then the only other creature with extreme healing properties was a Unicorn. But killing a Unicorn will be directly declaring war with light magic and I would be firmly in the clutches of dark magic. No that would be a disaster as I firmly believe in the use of both aspects of magic.
That is when I got an idea. I summoned Twinky once I returned to the dorm.
"Twinky I want you to catch one Unicorn from the forbidden forest. But bind it somewhere in the manor away from my parents and feed it as well. I will call for you tomorrow night then bring me the Unicorn alright." I said
"Twinky understands master. Twinky will bring a Unicorn." with that said she popped away
The next day passed in a blur. We had a defence class for two straight hours which I spent tormenting Lockhart. Then there was a charms class with Flitwick and a Transfiguration class with Mcgonall.
After classes were over we had Quidditch practise for three hours. Now that Slytherin was steadily winning quidditch matches we were gathering quite a crowd and I was sticking close with Flint. He was a seventh year so he will be leaving Hogwarts this year and with my father's influence, I have already secured him a job in the ministry. In return for his recommendation for my position as captain of the team next year to Prof Snape. So I have been closely working with Flint to gain experience as well as to assert my control over the team next year.
With the end of the practice session, I returned to the Slytherin dorms and took a shower and then snuck into ROR. Then I called for Twinky who brought the Unicorn which she captured. I quickly cast a 'Silencio' on it and pushed it inside the room.
Once inside I stunned the foal and put it in the runic circle I specifically designed for the Unicorn. You see I only wanted the light magic which is unique to the Unicorns to counter the magic of the Basilisk. So I set the hide and brain of the Basilisk in a separate runic circle and then charged a rune which set a chain reaction as all other runes got charged and I sat on a runic circle designed for the absorption of magic. I saw the yellow coloured magic of the Basilisk come in contact with pure blue coloured magic of a live Unicorn foal and as it converged together I saw it turn a vibrant green and suddenly lit the runes in my circle. The magic sunken into my bones but there was no pain as I thought instead I felt calmer and in control.
After some time I felt the process stop and I inspected my body. I was bathed in a green glow for some time but it receded soon enough. I meditated for some time and controlled the magical energy running in my body. I felt a newfound control and command over my magic and the serene feel of it. The magic of the Unicorn has done much good than I hoped it will. A welcome outcome and as I concentrated I was able to cast the 'Expelliarmus' and ' Stupify' wandlessly without a major drain in my magic. The potency of my spells has also increased now as I tested my new magic in the ROR for some time.
Now with time and continuous use of my magic, I will be able to stand toe to toe with the magical titans like Dumbledore and Voldemort. But they did not know a third side has been born in the war. A side that used both Light and Dark magic that cared for only one thing. To end the conflict of Dark and Light and assimilate them to my design for me to wield to my hearts content and propel the wizarding kind to a new era rather than staying stagnant. To go beyond the advancements of muggles and go further than they ever dreamed. Magic was capable of so many things and I will achieve wonders and Immortalise my name in the annals of history.
