I posted this chapter a day early, but I couldn't wait any longer.
I have up to chapter 8 written and am working on Chapter 9.
Chapter 9 is when the story will really get going. Please read the responses I have to the reviews, as it may answer some questions.
Guest who reviewed on June 9th- This is my first fanfic, but I'm trying to add more details. Also, nice suggestion, I hadn't thought about that yet.
Guest who reviewed on June 10th- Thanks for the long review. I definitely have plans for her monthly explosions. I thought so too, first person was too confusing. She will go to Hogwarts, but in which way, I'm not sure yet. Imagine a female Harry, slightly brighter eyes (they almost glow,) and slightly prettier. Her body being altered definitely changed her looks a bit. She looks much colder.
You're right about changing it to healer. I will be reposting the chapters after I get to 15 or 20 before continuing the story. I also might say things that aren't British, because I'm American, so feel free to point those out.
Chapter 6
It took many years to calm the storm that raged within the Dark Gem. First they tried to have her exercise a lot more, and that worked for about five minutes.
Then they tried meditation. Once again it was only a quick fix. She continued to do both but they needed something more.
One day Lucius was talking about how he was taking Draco muggle skydiving, to toughen him up. Bellatrix suggested that he take Jem with them to get her out of the palace.
It was a huge success. Jem felt so much calmer after she had had such a rush of adrenaline.
The Dark Lord had a team of Death Eaters working on finding thrilling things to do. If she continued to do the same thing over and over, it would become boring and defeat the purpose.
She still needed some time to….explode. Twice a year, they took her to a spot in the in the Himalayan Mountains. They would leave her there for 24 hours and she would let her magic flow.
Sometimes they would return to beautiful artistry covering the mountains, and sometimes the whole area would be a sight of destruction. Sometimes there would be ponds and trees that weren't there before and sometimes there would be a volcano. The locals were mystified at all of this, and thought a spirit was haunting the mountain. They refused to go near it.
The days before she went to her spot, she would be cranky, irritable, and for some reason, more windows would need to be replaced.
The days after she went were calm and peaceful. Those were the days that her powers were at the weakest so they didn't get much training done.
She and her father grew and grew in power. He would secretly learn from the sidelines and pretend he knew what to do all along. There was no way he would let anyone surpass him, not even his daughter.
By the time she was Hogwarts age, she was almost unstoppable. However she had one fatal flaw. With her storm of emotions, sometimes she got a little too excited during a battle. Sometimes she would release a lot of magic and tire herself out. She would let her emotions take over.
This was a rare occurrence, however. Normally you could never see her true emotions. There was always a cold mask on her face, reminiscent of the Dark Lord's.
A time came when she needed to get out in the field and go on missions. To do that, she needed to be introduced to the Dark Lord's followers.
Lucius, Bellatrix, Narcissa and Severus thought that they should introduce her at the traditional Yule Ball. However, when they presented this idea to the Dark Lord, he shot it down quickly.
"My daughter deserves her own event! I will not have her be a sideshow of entertainment at a party!" he bellowed.
They nodded their heads and set to work on planning an event for her to be introduced.
In the meantime, the creations that the Dark Lord had been trying to create were finished.
The projects that combined technology and magic were called fusions. The fusion gun had been completed and were in the mass producing stage.
They also experimented with orbs that had harnessed the power of spells. For example, if you threw a stunning orb, and it hit a person, that person would be stunned as they would with a low power stunning curse.
The Dark Lord had orbs of every offensive spell, dark and light, that he knew of and many different shields that could be activated by crushing them or throwing them at the ground.
With the guns, the orbs could hit targets with more power and could be switched out more easily.
Jem was being trained in the guns, and she had several tricks that she could do with them.
The orbs weren't the only fusions that were finished. There were communicators (coms), that were much like muggle phones or earpieces, The user just put it in like an earring and could communicate with all others on the same channel.
Narcissa had the idea that this event could be a way to introduce all of the new fusions, and have the Dark Lord introduce his daughter at the end as the most important part.
The Dark Lord finally agreed to the idea. Plans were figured out and the invitations were sent.
Severus took one and presented it at the next Order meeting.
"The Dark Lord is presenting some new weapons at a Death Eater gathering next month," he started. "There will also be-"
He was interrupted by Mundungus Fletcher, who blurted, "It says there will be a big surprise, do ya know what it will be?"
"I do but I cannot tell."
"Why ever not, Snape, feeling unloyal?" Sirius Black sneered.
"SIrius!" Albus and Lily scolded.
"Thank you, Albus. I cannot speak of it because it is the same thing that I was called in for many years ago."
"I understand, Severus. Now, we need to get spies in there. Alastor Moody, I want you to lead the teams. Take whoever you need," Albus commanded.
"Yes, Albus. I will get on that right away," Alastor agreed.
"Alright to continue on with the meeting, Kingsley?"
"There has been less Death Eater activity lately, and it may have to do with this big event. However, we need to remain on our guard. Even though the last few years we haven't had a major battle, we need to be prepared for one," Kingsley stated. "Also, whatever is going to be revealed at this event will probably be a major advantage to their side, so as Alastor always says, 'constant vigilance!' "
"Thank you Kingsley, anything else... No?... Okay, our next meeting will be next week at the same time, same day, but at the Burrow because we will again be attempting to remove the portrait of Sirius' fabulous mother," Albus said. There were a few chuckles because there had been countless attempts to remove it, each one crazier than the last, and now the house was closed down for each attempt.
After most of the members had left the Ancient House of Black, Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, and Arthur remained in the kitchen.
"Ginny would like to have Oliver and Teddy over this weekend, and I think Ron would enjoy it as well," Arthur said.
"Sure, we don't have any plans besides for the birthday party on Sunday night," Remus replied.
"I can ask Olly to see if he would be up to it. He is always quite sad around this time of the year," Lily said solemnly.
"It's hard for him, knowing that he had a sister but that he can never meet her," James supplied.
"I completely understand, it's fine," Arthur assured him.
"Isn't Ron starting Hogwarts this year?" Sirius asked, hoping to lighten the mood.
"Yes, he's really excited to join his older brothers," Arthur answered.
"I still can't fathom how you can care for so many children, Dory and I can't keep up with Teddy!" Remus sighed.
"Well Tonks can always keep him occupied with teaching him her metamorphmagus tricks, can't she?"
"She does, but he doesn't have a very long attention span." The adults in the room chuckled, knowing how fast Teddy could switch from one thing to the other.
"Alright, Lily and I better get going. We have to prepare for the upcoming year. You'd better start on that soon, Remus," James said.
"Ugh, don't remind me."
"I still can't believe you all became professors. Well, Remus and Lily I expected, but you, Prongs, really?" Sirius joked.
"Well I am a part time auror so it's not all 'boring and booky' as you like to say, Padfoot," James shot back.
"Yeah but I get to be a superhero full time," Sirius bragged.
"Aww, has somebody been reading his comic books again?" Arthur laughed.
"We need to get you a lady friend," James said.
"I do not need to be tied down by a woman!" Sirius cried indignantly. At Lily's look he cowered. "N-not that they're a-all bad," He chuckled meekly.
"Hmm, well we better get going," Lily said.
They all filed out of the door and headed home for the night. Somewhere miles away, Jem was running her night laps preparing for her big reveal.
