Harry entered the common room and glanced about the room. He smiled as he walked towards his friends. He stopped in front of them and shrugged a moment as they noticed him with surprise.
"Harry, what are you doing back so quickly? You didn't walk out on your detention like you did your class?" Hermione asked in a rapid-fire style. Harry blinked then shook his head a moment.
"She never showed up. I was waiting outside the classroom for the whole time. If she forgot not my problem." Harry explained with a shrug. Hermione frowned and looked at Harry as Ron laughed.
"Great one Mate. You really lucked out there." Ron exclaimed laughing as Harry shrugged a moment.
"Why didn't you look around for her?" Hermione asked confused at Harry's reaction. Harry sat down in an armchair and smiled at his friends with a shrug.
"Why? She is a complete bitch and if she doesn't show up I have no reason to look for her." Harry said without a care. Deep inside he winced a bit at lying to his friends but knew for his story to work he needed to stick with the story with everyone.
"Harry she could be hurt and even if you don't like her it's not a reason to leave a possibly injured person out in the school." Hermione lectured. Harry groaned as Hermione kept on with this.
"Hermione there are patrols every evening by prefects as you know and there is also patrols by teachers. She will be found and cared for." Harry pointed out. He grabbed his bag and smiled a bit. He took a slow breath and frowned before standing and walking over to the twins.
"What are you doing Harry?" Ron asked noticing him moving to his older brothers. Harry glanced back and laughed a moment.
"Don't worry I'll be right back over just need to talk to your brothers about something." Harry stated. He paused next to the twins with a smile and leaned down next to their heads his face becoming serious.
"What can we do for you O'large one." One asked with a playful smile crossing his lips. Harry rolled his eyes a bit then took a slow deep breath.
"I need you to keep an eye on those students without powerful or pureblood families." Harry whispered softly making both twins look at him with worry.
"Why ever do you need us to do that oh broody one?" The other twin asked causing Harry to roll his eyes.
"Umbridge's detentions are something I am sure is normally illegal, but due to her position, she won't be stopped easily. She won't for that reason target those that she is okay with or those that have the power to stop her." Harry stated. The twins looked at Harry then stood grabbed the large boy and pulled him to a corner away from the rest of the students and looked into his yellow eyes with narrowed eyes.
"And how do you know that? We heard you saying she never showed for the detention." The twins whispered both sets of eyes narrowing at Harry. Harry sighed and shook his head a moment.
"I kinda lied. I knocked her out and hopefully destroyed the item she had me using for the detention. I made sure that her being knocked out shouldn't be connected to me but the more important thing is what she had me using. It was a black quill that didn't need ink. She had me writing lines with it and it used my blood as the ink and caused the writing to appear on the back of my non-writing hand." Harry explained to the two. Fred and George looked at each other then nodded.
"We will keep an eye out. What do you want us to do if we find anyone that has gone through that?" One twin asked seriously.
"Bring them to me or Luna Lovegood. We should be able to help." Harry stated then turned and walked away from the twins to return to his friends. He plopped down as the two looked at him in suspicion.
"What was that about?" Hermione asked as Harry smiled a moment and shook his head. Shutting his eyes a moment.
"Nothing important just needed to let them know about Snape prowling around wanting to catch them." Harry stated with a casual shrug. He went to work on the bit of homework they had been given so far as Ron groaned in frustration at how much had already been given and Hermione beamed proudly seeing Harry getting right down to his homework.
"Harry, why are you starting your homework already?" Ron whined seeing his friend working on his homework. Harry glanced up and shook his head.
"Because if I get it done now then I will have more time during the weekend when there are no classes." Harry pointed out making the other boy frown in confusion. He watched as Ron's tactical mind finally kicked into gear and he stared down at what he was doing then over to his bag holding his books.
"Damn it... You are right why did I never think of it that way?" Ron groaned throwing his head back causing Harry to chuckle a moment. He returned to the work quickly writing out his work before pausing and thinking.
"Hermione, why do we not bring a notebook and pencils when we come here? Writing out our work in a notebook as rough would probably be better than straight away on parchment. Hell writing it out on parchment with pencil first might be smart." Harry said with a frown as he looked at the mistake he had just made with irritation.
"I never even thought of that. It would save on a lot of parchment. It also isn't like the item is mechanical or electric in nature so should be fine around all the magic." Hermione said then stood heading to her dorm.
"Hermione where are you going?" Ron asked a bit confused by the conversation Harry and Hermione were having.
"To my trunk. I'm gonna check if maybe one of my pencils from home might be in it." Hermione said with a slight frown. Harry chuckled as he did his best to fix his mistake then continue to work on the homework.
"Ron trust me if she has those I'm gonna ask to use one they will help us a lot. It is weird that we just didn't bring any with us considering they are not something that would be unusable due to magic." Harry muttered and leaned back in obvious thought. He looked about the common room wondering something then stood waiting for a moment.
"Hey, Gryffindors I have a question for all the muggle-borns here. Did any of you think of bringing muggle writing implements such as a pencil? And if not do you know why you never thought to bring one?" Harry asked pulling everyone's attention to him. He watched as most of the Muggleborn's in the house and a few of the half-bloods looked at each other in confusion.
"They said no muggle items would work so left all of it at home." One said with a shrug. Harry frowned and leaned back a bit.
"Doesn't anyone find it strange that none of us looked at a pencil and figured it should still work here?" Harry asked as several nodded slowly. Several started to work on letters obviously thinking to request a few pencils being sent. A few might even be asking for lined paper or notebooks.
"Harry, what are you talking about?" Ron asked as several of the purebloods looked confused as well. Harry sighed and blinked a bit.
"It has to do with a muggle item that shouldn't be affected by the ambient magic and would make the essays and other homework much easier to edit and fix before doing the final version with a quill." Harry pointed out causing Ron to blink.
"But Harry muggle items do not work in Hogwarts." Ron stated simply causing Harry to groan and almost facepalm with irritation.
"Ron there is no way magic could interfere with this item. It is a piece of charcoal-like material placed within wood." Harry growled in irritation. Really Ron could be so hard to explain things to at times. Harry started to put his stuff away as Hermione came back down with a frown.
"No, I didn't. Dang it, they would have been so useful." Hermione moaned in frustration causing Harry to chuckle softly.
"Write a letter asking your parents to send some and use Hedwig. Just make sure there is enough for me too." Harry said with a grin. Hermione nodded and smiled.
"Thank you, Harry and I'll make sure they send enough." Hermione said before beginning the letter to her parents. Harry meanwhile said goodnight to his friends and headed for bed. He pulled his hair free of its tie and shock out the steadily lengthening hair. He shook it out a bit only to chuckle at how it flared around his head. He smirked a moment and finished preparing for bed.
He headed to his bed and pulled the curtains around him closed. Slowly he stretched out on the large 4 poster bed and blinked in a bit of surprise realizing he could take up almost the entire bed. He glanced about a bit then shrugged before closing his eyes to fall into the arms of Morpheus.
Harry shifted a confused expression crossing his face as he feels the rough texture of some form of sandstone being under him. He opened his eyes and attempted to sit up only to find himself chained down to this alter. He looked back and forth trying to pull himself free of the chains holding him.
"Oh calm down little Ganny. We just need to finish this ritual then you will have all the power you will ever need." A voice came from where his feet were. Harry looked down to see a small old lady at his feet slowly checking over some markings around him.
"Yes, you did agree that you needed more power to help your sisters." A voice said from above his head making him look above him. It was another small old woman. She had a large blue gem on her forehead and as he looked down at the other woman he noticed she also had a large gem though that one was red.
"I did not agree to this!" Harry snarled as he struggled and the two women moved next to each other of frowned then shrugged. They looked at him for a bit then started to cackle.
"Oh did we say you had to fully agree Ganny? We took you in for this express purpose. Our great leader shall use you to take what is rightfully his." The two said and began to cackle again moving around the room preparing items as Harry struggled trying to get free of the chains then looked up and saw the two leave the room for a moment.
Harry took a slow deep breath then examined the strange place he seemed to be. Everything seemed to be made of Sandstone yet whatever was holding him was stronger than normal sandstone. He could also feel a thrum of betrayal race through him at what the two were doing. They seemed familiar and the thought mothers seemed to be connected to them. That would definitely explain the feeling of betrayal as well.
The two old women returned to the room each being followed by another being. Harry could tell they were under some form of mind control immediately as they stood on either side of the altar. One was blue in color and looked kind of like a humanoid fish. The skin looked irritated on the creature and Harry winced knowing somehow that they were in a desert and it was not meant for a desert climate.
Slowly he turned to the other creature and winced seeing what looked like a small child between the ages of 8 and 10. Harry was horrified at the thought of what the two were going to do and struggled even harder.
"Calm down Ganny it won't be much longer and the sacrifices are necessary." They cackled together and finished the last few pieces around him.
"If we could safely take the Queen from Hyrule we wouldn't have needed you Ganny but since she is far too protected we had to figure out another way." The one with the Red Gem said grinning.
"Yes and soon you will truly be the greatest King the Gerudo will ever know!" The one with the blue gem cackled. Both began to chant in a language that Harry couldn't even understand moving slowly to the two beings next to him. The chanting slowly spread and a pulsing ball of darkness slowly started to form above him.
Harry struggled violently gasping as the pressure around him grew. He began to pant and shudder not seeing the daggers the two old women lifted up. Both daggers being made of pure obsidian as the chant they continued raised in pitch. The pulsing darkness increasing with each bit of chanting that continued.
The two old woman reaches a crescendo and the daggers plunged into the stomachs of the two sacrifices then were slowly ripped up causing the blood to spray over the altar and Harry. Harry stared horrified as the pulsing ball of darkness snaked into the blood and down onto him feeling like burning waves of pain. He screamed as the two backed away watching their victims collapse.
"May your hate thrive through your avatar." The two cried out as Harry thrashed and started to scream upon the altar. The ball of darkness began to shrink as it flared into Harry and the altar beneath him began to crack and break as he screamed. The two women continued to watch from the edge of the room as Harry thrashed and screamed.
After a bit, a huge man with black scales and Hair of fire formed above him for a couple of moments laughing. The form was as though made of smoke and seemed to be missing many pieces as it slid into Harry's mouth and body.
"You shall serve well for my revenge against those foolish Goddess worshippers." A dark cloying voice echoed through Harry's head causing him to shake and gasp harder for air. Some of the blood that now coated his form dripped into his mouth making him gag as the last of the Altar shattered allowing him to fall to the sandy ground of the chamber he was in. Harry's eyes rolled to the back as he went limp.
With a scream, Harry leaped from his bed eyes wide in panic as he struggled being wrapped in his blankets. He hit the floor before freeing himself from his bed and raced to the bathroom shaking violently at what he had just witnessed. He could still hear the dark voice echoing in his head as the being took his body as it's own.
He gasped and hit the shower area not even caring that he was still in his sleep clothes and ended up under the water shivering. He could feel the blood on his body still. Those women he had thought of as mothers in the dream had served that demon his whole life. They had planned on him becoming its body the whole time.
The memory of burning flesh was nothing compared to this. He was struggling to try and process what he had seen and wished the memory of the dream would start to fade like most dreams do, but it was rapidly becoming obvious this was not a normal dream as it refused to fade. Shaking he slowly stood the water pouring down his body before he stepped from the shower stall only to freeze seeing Neville staring at him from the bathroom door.
"You okay Harry?" He asked softly. Harry blinked before collapsing next to the shower door covering his eyes.
"I.. I don't… I…." Harry stumbled over his words as Neville sat on the ground nearby but not close enough to get wet himself. "Sorry.. If I woke you." Harry finally got out with a groan.
"I'm the only one who woke so don't worry too much Harry. Now, what happened?" Neville asked. Harry opened and closed his mouth a few times then started to rub the mark on his hand.
"I.. I don't fully understand it, Neville… Goddesses that was me…. Ganny….. Ganondorf…." Harry paled repeating a name from the dream then remembering the full name.
"What was that Harry?" Neville asked confused but willing to listen to a friend. Harry smiled weakly at Neville.
"The Cycle… Oh hell, that's what the damn princess meant. Cavo'ssa Shiro Din*" Harry growled then looked at Neville and winced. "Sorry for waking you Neville but. You are not going to be able to help with this. I am going to need to speak with a few people now though. So go back to bed." Harry murmured as he moved to dry himself off then get clothing. Neville blinked and stayed near Harry for a bit.
"You sure about this Harry?" Neville asked. Harry gave a sort of sad smile and nodded slowly.
"Yeah, I'm sure Neville. You'll need the sleep for the morning. I, on the other hand, need to have a long talk with the headmaster. Something far worse than Voldemort is involved with what is happening." Harry stated then once dressed left the dorm room.
Afterward: Welp he's awake so anytime I use some of the Gerudo I have made up I will be giving a translation at the end. Also as I may have mentioned before I will be using the little bit of Gerudo that we learn from Breath of the Wild. So here is the first bitt:
Cavo'ssa Shiro Din - Divine tits of Din. Similar in use to Merlin's Balls and other such curses.
