Chapter 10. Second Year

Week later, RoR,

A black haired girl was standing in the middle of the room. In front of her was a single wooden dummy. She closed her eyes before focusing on her blades. Pushing a lot of pure energy to them and then to her foot she disappeared from sight. Not even after a second she reappeared behind the dummy.

Turning around she walked back to the dummy so she could examine it. In the middle of the dummy chest were two long cuts, although they were not too deep. Sighing, she shook her head. "Damn still can't get it right. If I can't cut wood in two this attack will be useless against demons or other enemies," releasing a deep breath, she sends some magic to her gravity rune so it could activate again. She has been really working on this attack since the summer started and only now she can leave some cuts on her target.

It is one of two attacks that she and Alya are preparing. The one that she just tried to do depend on her speed and precision. Yes, she is really fast and her precision got a lot better with her perks leveling up.

-Quick Mind - you process information x3 faster

-Quick reflexes - you react x3 faster

They help a lot, but this attack require from her to move at the speed that everything around her almost slows down and even better reaction time. When her 'dance of blades' is a fast movement attack and nowadays she doesn't have a problem with it, this one is just something else. It would require her to have something like bullet time that one can see in movies. And sadly for her and Alya speed like that is still beyond them so for now the only thing left for her is to try practicing this skill till her gamer abilities will add it to her skill list.

Now her second attack is slightly easier as it is mostly energy manipulation. She wants to create an attack that will work similar to elemental wave that she can release with her weapons. In describing it should be easy, but no Diana does not want the attack to be visible. While releasing simple slash of energy from her dagger is not a problem, it deals a small amount of damage, is slow and easy to dodge.

This is where Diana's and Alya's idea come in. First, they focused on making it faster. Took them 2 weeks to do it, while Diana could add wind to it so the attack would be a lot faster, Alya could not. So they worked hard to make the attack fast and managed to compress the energy so it would travel faster.

The next thing that they wanted was how the attack worked. After their first step it only exploded on impact and dealt small amount of damage. The girls wanted this attack to be precise. No area of effect damage, no explosion, what they want is a cut. A cut that can almost go through anything, that focus on precision and that can be used for defence.

That is what they are working on now. As the energy is already compressed their work got harder. Now they need to not only keep it compressed but add sharpness and stability into it. And let me tell you that it is a pain in the ass to do that... Yeah, it is fucking hard, and let's not even start with the invisible part. You know when she is now thinking about it her first attack just might be easier.

Deciding to give it a rest for now she walked towards the corner of the room and put her school robe back on. She sat down on the couch provided by RoR and leaned back while closing her eyes.

Today will be Daniel's first training day. While they don't really have a plan where to start, they still know what need to be done. Alya went to get him around 10 minutes ago so they should be back soon.

Meanwhile, her thoughts went back to the demons. Like they observed earlier the number of both E and D ranks decreased those past 2 months. Not much, but still less than before. Now it would not alarm them, but there is one other thing.

They began spotting more C-class demons coming out to the human world. And at first they just thought none of it, but then the demons never attacked anything. Now this has been weird as always when those come to human world, they either hunt for lower ranking demons or magical creatures. Sometimes they also attack humans, but it is mostly when those humans are not so normal and have some kind energy in them.

So yes, when they don't do anything apart from traveling around, it begins to be suspicious. Of course, both girls tried to get information from the weaker ones that they could beat, but always got nothing apart from the earlier mentioned comment.

Running a hand through her hair, she sighed again (she is really doing it a lot lately), they need to know if it is something that happens only in England or it is the same in other places.

For now it doesn't matter as they are in school and can't just leave for some long trip. Most likely it will need to wait for the next summer, well can't help it for now.

Frowning at the long time that her friend and brother need to come here, she cast temps charm and her frown deepened. Guess her thoughts didn't take too much time. Raising her hand, she clenched it into a fist and started gathering energy on top of it. Black and violet energy started to cover her fist, but in one moment in exploded pushing Diana back on the couch.

"Fuck," she shouted as the pain finally came. Her armor may hold any damage, but there is nothing that can help with the pain.

What she just tried to do is something that Diana wants to create for her hand to hand combat. It is obviously based on cero but is smaller and weaker. The thing why she can't get it right, is that it needs to be created faster than caro and be more stable as it is created on move. She started working on it a week ago and she will need about 2 weeks more to complete it. Nothing hard, but will be useful for surprise attack during hand to hand combat. It is similar to another attack from 'Bleach' called bala but Diana's will not be able to shoot it, nope it will just explode on impact. Now if she could only figure out how to make it stable and stop firing back at her.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depends on what she wanted to do next, the door to RoR opened an in came Alya with awed Daniel. Turning to them, she asked, "What took you so long?"

Daniel's look changed to sheepish, "Well, you see Hermione just couldn't help but ask questions about what we will be doing... So you can guess that it wasn't easy to get her off us."

Diana only shook her head, really the girl is nice, but sometimes so want to know things that are not for her to know. "Alright never mind that. I don't know if Alya told you already, but let me welcome you to the Room of Requirements. It is where I and Alya spend most of our time. Not many people know about this room and those that know about it don't use it much. Now you probably wonder what we will teach you."

Daniel nodded, "Yep, I know that you didn't have any problem with Quirrell so I am guessing that you will teach me some defensive and offensive magic?"

Diana and Alya chuckled a little, "No, dear brother, while yes, we will teach you spells, it is not all that you will learn from us. But first I want to know what you can do, so take a position in the dueling ring and show me what you got."

With that, both Diana and Daniel walked into the newly created dueling ring and took out their wands. Alya looked at them from the side and said, "Begin."

Diana didn't even bring her wound up so Daniel decided that he will start it off, "Expelliarmus," pretty strong scarlet light came out of his wand in Diana's direction. This time she raised her wand and swatted the charm away with a single flick.

Daniel was quite surprised that you can even do something like that, but quickly came out his shock as he saw the same spell coming his way. Sidestepping it this time he shouted another spell, "Incendio, Flipendo, Tarantallegra," first fire came out and then from it came two spells.

Diana raised an eyebrow at that. This tactic would probably work on anyone in their year that can't cast protego charm so lets say that she is impressed.

Flicking her wand again a large blue shield appeared before her blocking the spells and fire. Then exchanges like that continued for another 5 minutes as Diana wanted to see how many spells Daniel knows. From what she can see, he must have practiced during the summer as she really doubt that he could do some of those spells in their first year.

After that part was done Diana decided that it is time to see if her brother can move. And with that she started casting quick stinging jinxes. Daniel lets just say was unprepared for the sudden onslaught. First spell hit him in the left arm, already giving him some pain, fortunately he noticed the next spells coming and started dodging. At first it wasn't too hard as the spell were slow and there weren't many of them, but still he never had enough time to cast his own so there is that. After about 2 minutes the speed and amount of spell increased and this is where the pain finally came.

He could dodge some at first, but then he got hit 2 times in the chest making him stagger a bit. Unfortunately for him this was not the end as just when he got his balance back another two jinxes hit him in the stomach making him fall down.

Diana thought that they can work with that. Daniel wasn't too bad, but his stamina was, well.. Let's not talk about it. She let her wand disappear to her inventory and went to Daniel so she could help him out.

Daniel took the offered hand and Diana leads him to the corner where the couches were stationed. She then sat down next to Alya and nodded to her.

Alya took the sign and spoke, "Well, Daniel it was not bad, your spell knowledge is pretty good for second year and you could dodge some of Diana's attacks. Now don't get too excited as there is one thing that we need to talk about. Your stamina is horrible, after not even 10 minute duel you were sweating so this is something that we will work on, " she stopped here so Diana could continue.

"We will not teach you how to duel, if Voldemort come back you will fight people that don't fight fair, you will be in situations that you will not be able to duel one versus one. They will take you with their numbers. So we will teach you how to fight, fight multiple opponents, how to use everything to your advantage, how to not waste your energy and finally how to survive."

Daniel thought about it for a minute, they were right if death eaters attack they won't care about a fair fight. They kill without any remorse so why would they care about duels. Setting his mind right, he nodded to the two girls and said, "You are right, they won't wait for my fight to end with one of them. So when do we begin."

Diana smiled, "We will meet every week here on Friday, we will let you know about the hour so don't worry. Now you need to remember that even if we will only meet one time a week, you can still practice alone, plus we expect you to be at the top of most classes. Do you understand?"

Daniel quickly nodded hearing her tone, really why she needs to be as scary as their mother, "Good, besides the magic practice, we will give you physical exercises that you will need to do at least 4 times a week, so you can get in shape," a groan, "oh don't be such a baby it will help you in outlasting your enemies and dodging. So as I can see you already regained your strength after our little duel, let's get started."

And with that the tor.. training, yes training started. At the end of the session Daniel knew that it was the worst decision in his life to ask for training from them. Meh, maybe he will be able to at least survive if the war comes. better not to think about it now. They have given him the list of exercises and told him to read up on silent casting as they won't be using any incantations in their training. They told him that it is better to learn it now than later on as Hogwarts teachers only begin teaching it in their 6th year.

When Daniel finally left Alya sat down on the couch with Diana dropping next to her. "You know, I thought that this will be harder," said Diana is making Alya look at her questioningly, "I thought he will whine about the training but he had done everything that we asked him for. Now the only question is, will he follow our instructions or throw them in the wind."

Alya smiled at first but then grinned, "Don't worry if he doesn't follow them, we will teach him that it is better to listen to us." Now both girls had an evil smirk on their faces. Meanwhile, Daniel who was walking towards his dorms shuddered.

Sighing Diana stood up and walked to the center of the room, "Don't know about you, but I want to get at least one attack down till Christmas so I am going back to work."

Alya raised her eyebrow, "You know that we probably won't get this down till we get at least 300 DEX and VIT, plus I want to get master level in my all magic subjects. Besides, you always were the one that prepared Frontlines so I get where you are coming from but still maybe it is better to work on something that is doable?"

Diana laughed lightly at her, "yeah I know, but I still have my hand to hand skill that's needed to be completed."

Alya got a blank face for a second before she finally remembered what Diana meant, "Ah, never mind then, do what you want. I am going back to transfiguration."

And that is how the days went. Both girls trained to master their skills while trying to create new ones. Of course they were still doing dungeons from ID to get levels so their stats could go up. As of now they were still doing the one that Diana got when she leveled her 'ID create' to lv.20. Tee dungeon contains enemies called shadows. They still sometimes give them trouble, but that is mostly when they try to limit themselves.

Just before Halloween Diana leveled her 'ID Create' to 25 and got new dungeon. Of course the game decided to fuck with her again and the only thing that she got wa.

lvl.25 - ?

Warning: Can't escape till defeating the boss.

Yes, fuck them. The girls decided that it would be wise to wait before going into it. At least till they could speed run the shadow one. Then they can move on. Alya of course, joked that they will go over prepared and the dungeon will be total joke and it will be empty with one mob. For Diana it wasn't funny at all so to release her pent up emotions she gave more training to Daniel who never knew what happened.

Of course, there is Daniel's training, at first he sometimes slacked off so the girls needed to give him a little push. And let's just say that since then Daniel always complete work given to him perfectly. For now they managed to fix his stance when fighting and build up some stamina. Daniel also learned how to cast silently some of his spells. This is still work in progress as silent casting is not an easy skill, especially for wand wizards. They can do it as many of wizards use silent spells all the time but it requires practice. Diana is quite proud that her brother learned this much in only two months. It seems that if he can keep it up the wizarding world will be in good hands. Well, in better hands than Dumbledore's or Voldemort's. Daniel got the drive and is a lot more social than Alya and Diana combined so he won't have problems in gathering allies if he will need them.

For now those are only plans, but if everything goes along the it, then Voldemort and Dumbledore will be dealt with and the younger generation will be able to help Britain to come out of the dark age. But as we all know every plan goes to shit so it is better to be prepared for everything.

For now, though they still need to attend Hogwarts. When the girls now think about it the option that Sirius gave them might have been better. Well, no reason to cry about it now. At least they are not too bored as they again got some quests and managed to make some... you could call them acquaintances in most houses.

In their house there is Lisa Turpin in their year, Cho Chang an Asian girl year older than them. Hufflepuff still works in progress, but for now they know Susan Bones a redhead from their year, that's aunt is head of DMLE and Hannah Abbott that is a friend of Susan. Probably the biggest bunch comes from Slytherin as they are probably the only ones apart form ravenclaws that cares about studies. Of course not counting Hermione.

Diana and Alya meet a small group of Slytherins when they were checking the Hogwart library for anything interesting. The group consisted of Daphne Greengrass the so called "Slytherin's Ice Queen". The Blacks always enjoyed seeing Daphne hex some stupid students so they taught her some nice ice spells and here you go Ice Queen got created. When Daphne is pretty cold in public she is nice to speak to in private even if she is still pretty reserved. Then there is Daphne's best friend Tracy Davis a complete opposite of her friend. She likes to joke, tease and laugh, at first Alya and Diana wondered how in the world the two became friends but decided to not question it. It is better for their sanity. The last person is Blaise Zabini a dark skinned boy who got a friendly personality and is easy to like.

The last house, Gryffindor... Yeah, let's not go there, while both girls got nothing against them, 90% of them are just the kind of people that Diana and Alya prefer to stay away from. Besides, they got Daniel and his group so it is enough for now.

With all of that the life of the school is pretty good and the girls are thankful for that. Unfortunately for them, they know that in one or two years they will start showing signs of maturing and they will start to attract attention from the opposite sex. And while Diana and Alya never talked about it they both are not positive about it. While yes they are not ashamed of their bodies, it is no surprise that they do not wish to be looked at like they are some meat, at least not in the school full of teenagers as their bodies can be distracting in battles so they will not mind it then.

Well, at least the robes will be helpful in something. One time Diana wondered how long the puberty will last in case of Hunter race. And like someone heard her, she got the first dream lesson in the long time.

Dream Flashback

Diana found herself in the same building as always when she had hunter dreams, this time though the students were older, about 13-14 years old. Most of them were chatting and waiting for the teacher to come. Diana herself you could say was surprised. The last time when she got a hunter's dream was about a year ago and it was nothing special so she wonders if this time it will be something interesting.

About five minutes later in came a woman in her thirties. Diana could say that she was pretty attractive, but let's not focus on that. The woman walked to stand before all the class and spoke up, "Let me welcome you all to this special class, my name is Lyanna and I will be leading today's lesson." She paused for a moment to see if she got everyone's attention and seeing that all of them were looking at her continued, "This will be the only lesson that I will give you. It is something that I am doing for every year and now it is time for you. You could say that it will be mostly informative lesson as we will be learning only one practical thing."

Taking a breath, she smiled at her students, "As you all already know we hunters start puberty at 10. This is something the same for both females and males, so it is something that makes us different from normal humans. We begin maturing faster and we reach the end of our puberty at 16th birthday. This is because of a few reasons. One of them is our wings, we get them on the day of our 16th birthday, they are they passage to adulthood for hunters. With them you gain more privileges in our ranks, can join our special forces and finally can continue your training. Next thing is magical maturity. As we know wizards and witches reach theirs on 17th birthday and they gain pretty big boost to their power. With hunters it is pretty similar, of course it happens one year earlier, but while for wizards it is hard to make their magic stronger after the maturity, we hunters don't have that problem."

This gained looks of curiosity from students and Diana. While she knew that she will be able to grow in power as she has gamer powers it is interesting that hunters of old could get more powerful with time without bigger problems. It is also good to know that the puberty ends when they hit 16. Then she saw Lyanna begin to speak again so she stopped her train of thoughts.

"Of course it is important to mention that even though our maturity ends, our bodies can still develop so don't be surprised about that. Now there are some other things that come with our maturity. We hunters are known for our battle drive, we just love to fight and let me tell you that it gets even worse after our maturity. While we still can control it, we tend to get into battles easier and that leads sometimes to some not so nice events. Apart from that and don't be embarrassed about this, we tend to be more protective and clingy to our mates so don't be surprised about it when you get older. Now we got the process of our maturity, it always starts at different hours so you can't really predict that, but you still need to be prepared the whole day as it is a painful and tiring process.

After the process of getting wings and going through the magical maturity, you will be most likely bedridden for about a week, it really depends on a person. At first you won't be able to do much other than lay in bed and sleep, with time you will regain your strength and will be able to come back to your normal life. After you gain your wings you will need to adapt to them. At first the only thing needed is to stretch them so their muscles will build up. With time you will be able to take slow flights, but I won't talk about it now as it is not the time.

For now let's come back to the maturity process. Everyone needs to go through it with no exceptions, there are some things that can go wrong during it, but there is always one reason for it. The reason is one important potion which every hunter need to have at hand at their 16th birthday. It helps to go through the process, reduce the pain and most importantly, it helps our wings to grow accurately so there won't be any problems with them. And this is what we will be learning today, every one of you need to know how to brew it as the knowledge is dying with us so it need to be preserved. In case that something happens and you won't be able to be here for your birthday you need to know how to make it, so let's get started."

Here Diana paid more attention and committed every single detail to her memory so when she and Alya will go through their maturity the potions will be ready. She doesn't know how long it took but after some time her dream started to shimmer and she realized that she was waking up.

Dream Flashback end

That answered some of the girls questions and gave them a potion that they will need later on. They decided to start practicing the potion during the summer as it is not needed now so there is no reason to start.

Besides all of that, the girls still attended their lessons normally like all students even if they didn't learn anything new there. Well, they attended most of the lessons as after the first DADA class both girls decided that it will be better for their sanity if they skip most of the peacock classes. Because really, who would want to learn about his adventures are what is his favorite color.

No, neither Diana nor Alya cares about this shit besides, the way that Lockhart look at some of the students is really unnerving. So for now they decided to stay the hell away from him, not because they fear him, but if this guy is some type of pedophile then it is good enough reason for them.

And this is how the months went and now the girls were coming back from the Halloween feast, even if they did not want to attend it.

Just when Diana wanted to speak up, she heard something, "Reap, tear, kill..."

That stopped her dead in the track, the voice was old and powerful but also slightly familiar. Diana just couldn't place it, well it is not the time to think about that, they better get going and try to see what is going on with it.

Alya looked at Diana with a frown, "Something wrong?"

Diana hears her voice snapped out of her thoughts and answered, "Yes, I heard some kind of voice that did not sound too friendly, I don't know why you couldn't hear it but follow me we need to check if it is in the castle."

Alias frown only deepened, but nonetheless she followed her friend. After a few minutes they came to a sight of a big amount of students standing before a lying cat. Upon a closer inspection they saw that it was an Argus Filch's cat, Mrs Norris. The next thing that they noticed was the text written in blood on the wall.

"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware"

"Huh there is our mystery of this year," was the thought of both girls. They thought that they will need to wait a little longer for it to come out, but it seems that the luck is on their side... at least for now.

Of course, Malfoy in this moment decided that it will be a good idea to start screaming that the heir is coming for muggleborns. Rolling her eyes, Diana made a little hand movement, making Malfoy fall on his ass. Some people laughed at him making Malfoy red in embarrassment. Before things could escalate further Filch came and started shouting bloody murder.

Diana and Alya got highly amused when he decided to make Daniel as his scapegoat, it was funny to watch how Daniel had no clue what to do with the aggressive squib.

Fortunately for the boy a moment later teachers came and started asking questions about what happened, then Dumbledore took Daniel aside, most likely to ask him if he had done something. Diana needed to stop herself from rolling her eyes again. Really Dumbledore thinks that Daniel would do something like that?

She almost snorted at the thought, her brother is not the type hurting anybody without a reason and this is too big for a prank.

Fortunately for Filch it came out that his cat was only petrified so he will only need to wait for a proper portion. Diana was thinking what could possibly petrify the cat and if she remembered anything about the chamber when Alya nudged her in the rib and whispered, "Any thoughts about it, from what I know there is not many things that can petrify someone."

Diana shook her head, "No, If we were in Greek mythology I would say that it is Medusa, but it also doesn't make any sense as the victim would be pure stone, not just looking petrified. It could be some kind of spell that we do not know of, but it is just an idea. We need more information about the chamber and check if this is something that is connected to the darkness that we felt in the opening feast."

Alya nodded, "Yes, it would be good to try and find out what it was, but I couldn't get any reading on it since the beginning of the year, what about you?"

"I felt nothing since then," Diana frowned, she always was quite proud of her sensing abilities, but now she can't find anything, "I will try harder from now on, but for now let's go back to our dorms as people here are starting to move away."

And with that both of them quickly made their to the dorms, on the way they got a side quest to find out what is causing the petrifications with the reward of 50k EXP so there is always something for them to look forward.

The next week was spent on searching for anything about Chamber of Secrets or any method to petrify something. They did find something that was helpful, but it was still not too much.

They found out that the Chamber was created to be Salazar Slytherin and was supposed to hold some kind of monster that he could unleash. Thanks for this information both girls came to a conclusion that the monster is probably some kind of snake as is is Slytherin's monster.

The next thing that Diana figured out was the voice that she heard, if it's some kind of snake then obviously what she heard was parseltongue and that only confirmed that they are searching for a snake.

The only two things that come to mind are magical versions of Gorgons which are called that after the Greek myths (Alya and Diana thought that it was funny that the original Gorgons probably exists) and Basilisks but they kill with their sight not petrify so that's a dead end.

Besides that both girls couldn't find anything more about the chamber, not if it was opened before or if it even exists. Diana already has a plan to ask someone that can give them some answers but for now they will stay put and see where it will go from there.

There is also one more thing that came out as a surprise to the girls. Daniel who came to them for his normal training session asked them about the petrifications and then admitted that he was there first because he heard some voice talking about killing someone.

Now this was a shock, Diana, after last year's meeting with Voldemort thought that she got the ability to talk with snakes from the Dark Lord, but now she is not too sure. It is still possible that some of the energy went to Daniel and he also got the ability but they don't really have any possibility to check this. That is why they decided to just drop it and told Daniel to keep his ability to himself as he probably already figured out that showing it now wouldn't be the best idea.

And that is how things continued, Diana and Alya are trying to find any sort of information while still focusing on theirs and Daniel's training. This came to stop when two students were petrified, now that just confirmed that there is something wrong going on in the castle.

Diana and Alya thought that it was funny how Hogwarts was called the safest place in the magical world, but it is their second year in a row that things like that happen. Daniel though, didn't share their amusement, but the girls couldn't care less about it, they are still trying to figure out what is petrifying people so they are at least doing something, not that they would tell Daniel that. He needs to figure it out by himself or with his friends as the girls won't be able to always here to guide him.

Now thought Diana and Alya were going towards the Great Hall as it was announced that there will be a dueling club created so students will be able to defend themselves... Yeah right.

Even if the girls don't need any help with their dueling, they were curious as what the teachers prepared so here they are.

Unfortunately, they weren't prepared for the peacock of a man to be standing on a dueling platform staring at all the students that began gathering around. Both Diana's and Alya's eyes twitched at that. Who in the right mind would let Lockhart lead the dueling club..

Sighing to themselves they figured out that they might as well stay and have some laugh form it.

Lockhart in that moment decided to speak up, "Alright, alright, everybody come closer. Now that all of you can hear me, let me welcome you to the first meeting of dueling club. Headmaster Dumbledore decided to let me be the one in charge of it so here we are. Like you can all see, Professor Snape agreed to help me with demonstrations."

The girls snorted at that, yeah, Snape looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. "Now I would like to show you a simple duel, so professor Snape if you would."

With that both of the professors stood on the opposite sides of the platform. Lockhart took some weird position while Snape just stood there with a sneer on his face. Then the peacock started to count down and before he could utter one spell, Snape sends a disarming charm towards Lockhart, who couldn't dodge and because of that he got launched backwards.

Most of the students laughed with Diana and Alya joining them. It appears that coming there wasn't a complete waste of time.

Finally Lockhart gathered himself from the fall and laughed nervously, "That was an excellent execution of disarming charm that professor Snape used. Of course I could block it, but it was better for you to see the result," Diana and Alya snorted at that, yes, this was definitely for show, "Now maybe someone wants to have a go and try their strength in a duel? What about Mr Potter and Mr Weasley."

Snape sees the occasion and speaks up, "Potter is a good idea, but Weasley's wand will only do harm to him, but what about Mr Malfoy?"

Lockhart beamed at the idea, "Yes, yes, come here Daniel, Draco."

Daniel looked a little unsure as he didn't want to show anything that he learned from the girls and Malfoy had an arrogant smirk on his face as he was sure that he will win. Nonetheless, both boys went on the platform where Lockhart tried to give some tips to Daniel and because of that he lets his wand drop. On the other side Snape was saying something to Draco silently.

When they finally started it was nothing impressive, the Blacks could see that Daniel was holding back and they were glad as they didn't need questions about Daniel's abilities. Finally, after about 5 minutes of mock battle, Malfoy used the Serpensortia spell and summoned a snake so it could attack Daniel.

Daniel wanted to quickly vanish it, but before he could do anything, Lockhart came up and fucked up his spell making the snake go flying. It landed near the students causing some shrieks to be released from them. When the snake looked like it was going to bite someone, Daniel spoke, "Leave him alone."

That caused a few different reactions. Diana and Alya facepalmed, the students went wide eyed and the snake stopped its advances.

Snape quickly vanished the snake and this caused the students to break from their shock and the whispers started. Then someone called Daniel a dark wizard and things went to hell from there. Luckily Hermione and Neville quickly took Daniel away from the Great Hall.

Diana sighed and started walking towards the exit from the hall with Alya following her, "And we just told him to be careful with it, for fuck's sake now the whole school will think that he is the heir. I guess that we will need to focus more on ending it faster than we thought And I was so close to completing the Bala-like move."

Alya giggle lightly at her whining, "Oh, don't worry, they will talk for some time and will finally figure out that he is not the heir, besides you can still train your move."

Dian turned to her with a deadpan expression, "Really Alya? You sure that we are talking about the same backward British wizarding community."

Alya stared blankly at her before her expression turned sheepish, "oh, yeah, you are right, sometimes I forget how fucked up wizarding world is."

Diana only shakes her head, "Never mind that, let's go kill some Shadows, I need a distraction so I can think clearly." Alya nodded at that, hunters always think better during a fight so it is no surprise that Diana want to go to the dungeon.

With that thing returned to normal, well, mostly as the school still thought that Daniel is the heir, but he had his friends for the support so he didn't really care.

Diana and Alya were working on detecting anything and finding any information where the entrance to the chamber could be. Still, they also trained themselves and Daniel as he now has even more determination than before. Alya now is mostly working on some water moves while still trying to complete the two new skills she and Diana are working on. Diana herself is now working only on the two moves as she finally completed her hand to hand skill.

New sub skill created!

-Martial Arts (Passive) lvl. 27/50 (21%)

Your skill in hand to hand combat

135% more damage when fighting hand to hand

- Bala - create a shroud around your hand that explodes on impact DMG: STR + INT x2 COST: 100 MP per attack

Pretty strong if she says so herself, now she doesn't need to always depend on her daggers for damage. They may have almost 200 stack now, but it is nice to know that she can now have a chance in a fight with just her fist. Besides that Daniel is also progressing quite nicely so there won't be problems with his training. Diana also decided that it is time to upgrade her gravity runes, so she spent some time with them and upgraded them so they now work better and don't strain their bodies too much while still giving the same results. She also changed them from carrying the cloth with them to a small tattoo on her left arm that is almost invisible. Currently she using 23th level of it when it has the whole of 100 levels. Alya herself is only 3 levels behind.

They stayed in Hogwarts for the Christmas, but still shadow traveled to the manor for one day so they could be with the rest of the family. Some more petrifications happened in the school and one was during the quidditch match where Daniel played. This caused people to rethink the idea of Daniel being the heir.

Alya and Diana were always checking every petrification and it was just after the Christmas that they discovered that there was always something interfering during the attack. They at first crossed out the possibility of basilisk, but after seeing the events they saw that the victims never saw the eyes of the creature directly. It was always something, be it a mirror, water, camera or in one instance seeing the basilisk through a ghost. Because of that they finally completed the quest and got their confirmation that the creature is basilisk.

The only thing that was left for them is to find the entrance and deal with the beast. Diana tried tracing the dark energy, but only found some small pieces of it that lead nowhere. The second option was to try and find the basilisk when it is out, but it is too dangerous. The girls do not know how will they react to the deadly glare so it is better to play it safe.

Because of that the decided that they will start scanning the whole castle for hidden entrances. It may sound easy but when you try to do something like that in castle which you could say is powered by magic, things get harder. They need to focus a lot of energy for every room to see if the wards are not blocking them.

During the new semester they also received their rewards for being the best in exams and got the same quest for the end of the year.

Meanwhile, they also tried to make some plan to take down the basilisk. They could try the rooster, but really there is no way that it will work so they abandoned this idea and moved forward. When they are pretty sure that it won't be too hard to beat it, there are two problems that they need to take under consideration.

The first is basilisk gaze. When they are pretty good at fighting with only their senses, this might not work in foreign area. So Diana and Alya are trying to create something that will help them with the deadly eyes. For now their focus is on runes as they always have something helpful so why not. The second problem is the heir. While fighting a wizard is not a problem itself, the girls don't know who opened the chamber or even if it is a wizard and not some more powerful creature that can control basilisk.

They decided not to go to the new dungeon till summer as they have enough to do as it is, plus the Shadows dungeon is still pretty good and it helps them with training their senses besides sight.

It was during March that the only place left to check was 2nd floor. Yeah searching the whole school was not funny, but at least they found some hidden passages so there is a plus.

Unfortunately it was during one of the classes that someone bragged in and shouted that someone got taken into the chamber. The professor quickly released them from the class telling them to go to their dorms and wait there till the situation is solved.

Alya and Diana of course got other plans as they quickly followed the professor so they could find out who got taken and then try and find their magic signature. It came out that Ginny Weasley was the one taken, so without wasting more time Diana focused and tried to at least follow some of her energy.

After two minutes she opened her eyes and a frown appeared on her face. Alya seeing this asked, "Did you get her?"

"Yeah, the entrance should be somewhere near the 2nd floor bathroom, but that is not what I find interesting, from what I could find Daniel is already here and he is probably going in..." she trailed off for a moment, "Maybe we should have told him that we will take care of it, now we will need to protect him down there. IT is like the first year all over again."

Alya gained a look of understanding, they haven't told Daniel anything about it, but it looks like he took the matter in his own hands, "Don't you wonder why he didn't tell teachers anything about it?"

Diana looked at her and deadpanned, "He is still a Gryffindor remember?"

Alya giggled lightly, "Oh, right, I sometimes forget it when we are training, but it seems that old habits die hard huh?"

Diana groaned, "We will talk with him about charging into things without plan later, for now let's get going or he will get himself killed."

With that both girls used some spells to make themselves invisible and started flash stepping through the castle in the direction of the 2nd floor bathroom. It didn't take them long to get here. From what they know this is a bathroom in which Moaning Myrtle reside. They went inside and noted that the ghost was not here, then Diana focused on sensing where the entrance is.

After 2 minutes she opened her eyes and walked towards the sinks that stood in the center of the bathroom. She inspected them and found some snakes carved in it. Smiling, she spoke, "Open."

The sinks spread apart, revealing one big pipe leading down. "Huh, so this is the entrance, expected more from the famous Salazar Slytherin."

Alya rolled her eyes, "It is hidden chamber, what did you expect."

Diana looked a little sheepish and murmured, "Never mind then," then she quickly got serious and continued, "we go down inspect the chamber and if Daniel is in danger we interfere. When the basilisk appears we take care of it."

Alya nodded and both girls jumped down the pipe, now that Diana thinks of it there might me a command for stairs... meh, she will try it out later.

They landed on some old bones that cracked upon standing on them. They thought that they will come straight to the chamber, but it looks like first they need to go through some kind of cave.

The girls decided to keep all the spells that kept them hidden and slowly made their way deeper into the cave. on their way they saw some snake skins and let's just say that they were massive. Even the D-ranks tank demons weren't so big. They kept walking until they made that way before big stone doors that had snakes carved into them.

Diana thinks quickly and said, "Open," and with that the doors went up and revealed the chamber, it was long, dimly lit. Towering stone pillars entwined with more serpents, rose to a ceiling lost in darkness, casting long, black shadows through the odd, greenish gloom that filled the place.

They also saw 2 people conversing with each other and a girl lying some distance away from them. Luckily for them they didn't care that big ass doors just opened so they didn't even turn in their direction.

With that both girls flash stepped to the side so they could watch the event.

Daniel doesn't know what made him go alone in the chamber and he bets that the scolding he will receive from his sister won't be nice. Anyway, thanks to Hermione and some information about who died because of the chamber when it was opened earlier, Daniel deducted that maybe Myrtle will know something. And it was thanks to her that he found out that she got killed in the same bathroom that she resided.

That's why he began inspection the bathroom and found the snake inscriptions on the sinks. Using the teaching on how to use parseltongue he tried speaking to it and it opened.

Now this was the moment that he should go back and tell the professors... yeah that didn't happen. And that's is why he is now standing before some guy older than him who is asking how he survived the night when Voldemort attacked and stopping him from helping Ginny.

Now this is certainly not what he expected. "Why do you care about Voldemort so much Riddle?" That did raise Alya's and Diana's eyebrows as they don't know anybody in school with the name Riddle.

The black haired, about 16 year old boy chuckled at Daniel and said softly "Voldemort," said Riddle, "is my past, present and future, Daniel Potter..."

With that Riddle pulled a wand, probably Ginny's and began to trace it through the air, writing three shimmering words: TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE

Then he waved the wand once, and the letters of his name re-arranged themselves: I AM LORD VOLDEMORT

Now both Daniel and the girls were surprised, they didn't know the true name of Voldemort. It may help them in the future, so it is good to know. Daniel himself was now slightly nervous, from what the guy said he is just a memory of a sixteen year old, but it is still Voldemort so he probably is no pushover, he really should have gone to the teachers, Dumbledore might not be here but he is willing to bet that Flitwick or McGonagall would be able to help.

He wanted to say something, but Riddle beats him to it, "You see?" he whispered, "It is a name that I used at Hogwarts, but really who would want to use a name of a Muggle father who abandoned me because he found out that my mother was a witch? No Daniel, I fashioned myself a new name, name deserving of the Salazar Slytherin's blood and a name that would one day be feared when I become the most powerful sorcerer in the world!"

Diana and Alya would snort if they didn't want to keep themselves hidden. That guy really is just so full of himself. Daniel, meanwhile thought about Riddle's words. Yeah Voldemort was powerful, so powerful that not many could stand against him and even if he doesn't want to admit it Voldemort feared Dumbledore.

"I am sorry to say, but you are not the most powerful wizard in the world," Oh, that made Riddle angry, now let's just hope that he won't try and kill him.

"Yes? So who is the most powerful wizard, if even now people fear my name?" Riddle spoke mockingly.

"Well, for one, even if I don't want to admit it, Dumbledore is still stronger than you. He was the only one that made you run away and you never made a move on Hogwarts so as I see you still have some way to go," It may not be the best idea to antagonize someone that is probably more powerful than him but hey, he is trying to form a plan how to get out of here.

Well Riddle really got angry as he quickly shouted, "You insolent brat, I wanted to give you quick death but now I will have my fun," he paused for a moment before speaking again, "Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts Four".

With that the statue of Slytherin opened and one could hear hissing voices coming out of it. Diana quickly turned towards Alya and whispered, "You get Ginny and Daniel to safety and I will get their attention. I don't know how much resistance the basilisk has to our magic, but if you get the opportunity, take it." Alya nodded and flashed away so she could get into position.

Finally out of the statue came out about sixty feet long snake, it had green scales that looked to be quite strong. Diana used observe to get a little more information.

Basilisk lvl. 152

HP:?

MP:?

STR:?

VIT:?

DEX:?

INT:?

WIS:?

Well, that's helpful, she hoped that it will be a little lower level, but taking under consideration that it is so old she shouldn't be surprised. Now she is pretty sure that nothing apart from some bigger scale attacks won't work here and she can't use them or the chamber can be destroyed.

She heard Riddle give command to the snake to attack Daniel but in the same moment Alya appeared next to her brother and taken him away along with Ginny. Sighing in relief she closed her eyes and fully focused on everything around her. If it wasn't that the snake is so strong, it would be pretty good training.

Luckily for her the basilisk can only attack with its body, so no magic flying around.

Just when Riddel wanted to give an order for the basilisk to find Potter and the girl, another person appeared before him and tried to punch him in the face with her fist which was covered in violet energy.

Diana thought that at least dealing with the young Voldemort would be easy, but of course her 300 luck is not enough and she went straight through Riddle. She was quite surprised, but she quickly gathered herself and flashed away. Now it looks like first she needs to deal with basilisk and count on Alya to figure out how to kill Riddle.

Alya saw what happened and then looked at the unconscious bodies of Daniel and Ginny. She really didn't want to answer any of his questions now so she just knocked him out. Now she needs to somehow help Diana with the snake that was now trying to find her and figure out why Diana couldn't hit Riddle.

Diana appeared some distance away from the basilisk, but she knew that it will be on her in a moment and flashing herself with eyes closed is not the best thing to do is unknown area. She waited for a moment and when the beast has been just next to her, she disappeared and tried to punch it in the side with bala activated.

Her attack connected but it came out that the basilisk had really though scales as even now she felt some pain from the impact. Ignoring the pain she used her other hand and punched the snake again before disappearing again. She really wishes that she could open her eyes and check if she even dealt some damage, but it is not worth the risk.

She heard some hissing from the snake and knew that it already was on her so focusing all her senses she started dodging the beast.

Alya meanwhile when she too tried to stay with her eyes closed, her sensing abilities were not so good and she sometimes needed to take a peak at what is going on. She also knew that and large scale attack here won't do any good so when she saw Diana punch the beast and only cause it some discomfort, she began thinking about how to help her friend.

In the end she decided on lightning attack. She created four lightning blades in each hand and focused to make them sharper and stable in hopes for them to go through the scales.

Finishing her blades, she waited for Diana to flash away and show her the side of the snake that was hit by Diana's punch. She didn't need to wait long as Diana finished her dodge dance and flashed away while sending some darkness at the snake in hopes of slowing it down.

Unfortunately, she didn't have time to focus on the attack so it didn't do much. At the same moment, though she felt some magic coming from the place where Alya was hidden and then the magic shoot in the direction of the basilisk.

The moment that Alya's lighting blades hit the snake, it lets out an agonizing shriek. Good at least lightning is capable of piercing it's scales.

Diana analyzed the attack that hit the snake and was glad that it dealt with some damage. She summoned her daggers and send to them wind energy so the sharpness would be better.

Now that she knows that her attacks can damage it, she just needs to dodge in the last moments and then cut it. Yeah, it would be easy to do with her eyes opened, but without them, she can't use any of her speed apart from flashing to the places that she knows are safe, and even then it is quite slow. Sighing, she waited for the moment when the basilisk almost crashed into her and she jumped to the side, then taking a wild swing at its side. From the shriek she knew that her attack connected and was quite painful, well now she just need to follow the tactic and hope that the snake don't have too much HP. Maybe if she could see it, she would try to attack some weak points, but for now she will just continue with small cuts.

Alya meanwhile was keeping an eye at the Riddle boy who stood wide eyed at what was happening before him. That was pretty troubling as Alya didn't know why he is not affected by basilisks gaze. For now she came with two ideas. One, he was its master so the gaze might not affect him and two this might have to do something with his ability to not be hit.

Apart from that Alya noticed that the energy in Ginny is diminishing, so she quickly focused on what was the reason for it. She traced the leaking energy to a diary lying on the floor next to Riddle. Without wasting more time she flashes herself next to it and grabbed it before reporting back to her previous place. She quickly observed the diary.

Riddle's Diary

It is special magical diary that got created by Tom Riddle so it could hold his first horcrux. It can be used to steal life energy form the user of the diary.

Can be destroyed by: ?, ?

Alya frowned, a Horcrux? She doesn't know what it is, maybe Diana would know as she dabbled a little more into dark magic than her and already is master in it while Alya is still on expert level. Anyway, if Ginny had it earlier than the diary is the reason for her low life force. She needs to help Diana deal with the Basilisk faster if they want to save the girl.

Alya looked around the chamber while avoiding the basilisk and focused on every rock that got created during the fight. She then started to transfigure each of them in some animals and ordered them to attack basilisk.

She knew that they won't do shit to it, but she wants to make some distraction. She may not be able to do what Diana (Alya made a note in her mind to train her sensing more later) is doing but she still can help with long range support.

Riddle saw this and finally broke out of his shock and started sending spells on the animals. Alya got frustrated that he still can fire spells even though they cannot hit him. Because of that she used her water control and created a shield between the battlefield and Riddle. The angry look on his face made her feel a little better.

Thanks to the animals running around Diana was capable to hit the basilisk more times and even focus a little more to try and find a weak spot to hit.

After another 2 minutes of dodging and hitting the beast she finally got an idea and used the wind energy to make her daggers longer. Then she waited for the snake to come at her and just when it is almost bitten her, she jumped in the air and brought her daggers down on basilisk's skull all the while sending even more energy into them so they could go deeper.

Finally, she heard another agonizing hiss and the snake slowly stopped moving. Slowly opening her eyes, she noticed that her daggers went straight into the beast brain and she probably got one shot kill thanks to it. Still, it was pretty lucky as if she jumped a little too high she would miss it.

Sighing, she looked around and saw the animals dissolving and the water barrier that was shielding her from Riddle disappear. This caused her to dodge as another spell went towards her.

Getting a little angry she created a knife made of darkness and threw it with such precision and speed that it went straight through the wand that Riddle was holding and destroyed it. The boy was again shocked so Diana used this moment to create a dome of darkness around him which would at least give them some time to figure out what to do with him.

At this moment Alya appeared next to her with Daniel and Ginny, there was also a bright light in the place of the basilisk before it disappeared and both Diana and Alya heard a ping.

For now, both ignored it as they had more important matters at hand. Alya brought out the diary and handed it to Diana, "Do you know how to destroy it?"

Diana examined and observed it before shaking her head, "No, but I have an idea, there is one spell that creates flames that are stronger than mine, I would use them normally but the fire is slow and hard to control. But if I am right, it should have a chance to destroy the diary."

With that Diana threw the diary on the ground and brought her hand up. She breathed deeply before saying, "Fiendfyre," from her hand came deep red fire that went straight towards the diary.

When it connected with it, both girls heard a shriek coming from the dark dome and Diana quickly ended the fire and her dome. Inside the dome there was only some black smoke left, which disappeared after a few seconds. The diary has though been completely destroyed and almost nothing was left of it.

Both girls sighed in relief. Alya then went to Ginny to check on her, "How is she?" Asked Diana.

"Her life force is returning so she should wake up soon, but I used some magic so she won't wake up till we exit the chamber," Diana nodded before turning back to Daniel and using an enrevate on him.

Daniel's eyes fluttered open before he groaned and placed a hand on his head, "What is the hell hit me?"

Alya grinned cheekily at him, "That would be me."

Daniel then looked around him and saw that he still was in the chamber. Adopting a confused look he asked, "What happened?"

Alya and Diana sweat dropped and started recounting what happened while explaining that they hidden some things away from him earlier, but now they can trust him plus they taught him occulumency so their secrets are safe. Still, all that they told him was that they have some special abilities, nothing about hunters and such. There is no need for more people to know about it.

Daniel sighed and said, "So you defeated basilisk, Voldemort's memory and saved Ginny?"

Diana nodded, "Yeah, now we need to create an alternate story as to how 12 year old defeats a basilisk... Any ideas?"

They then spend another 15 minutes on deciding on the story and even what they created was not too believable, it will need to be enough. The story is how the memory of Voldemort brought out the basilisk in the chamber and Daniel began to run around in hopes of surviving. Because of that the giant basilisk caused some damage to chamber and some of it fell down on it, killing it. Daniel then used one of the fangs of the basilisk to destroy the diary. They are really hoping that they don't know what the diary is so no one will ask questions about the item used to destroy it.

Diana brought one of the fangs from her inventory as it seems that it was one of the items form it and gave it to Daniel. Then Alya used a lot of magic on the diary so it would look like it was destroyed by the fang, not fire. It was a pretty long process, but the final work was very good.

Then they decided that Daniel will tell everyone that the entrance fell apart after he went out from the chamber so one one will try to come here.

Finally they all went towards the exit with Diana and Alya making themselves invisible in case if someone would be waiting at the entrance. Just when they were to exit Diana stopped them all and started casting some low powered cutting curses on Daniel. She then quickly calmed him down and said that if he came out of the fight with basilisk without any injury it would raise some eyebrows.

Daniel agreed with it, but was still grumpy about the cuts, making the girls snicker at him.

When they finally came back to the bathroom, it was luckily empty, so Daniel took Ginny and made his way to Hospital wing when Diana and Alya went back to their dorms. To check the two pings that they got.

Alright, that's nice. Now they rest of the year should be normal and they will be able to go back to their training. Plus, they will need to check out the rest of the chamber later. Who knows, there might be something in there.

With that, everything went back to normal, Diana and Alya continued with the creation of theirs new skills all the while learning more magic. Alya also focused on training her sensing abilities as you never know when a situation similar to this will happen again.

Besides that, they went back to the chamber and found a few old books behind the statue of Slytherin. Not much but always some new information. Unfortunately, they only focused on parselmagic and its uses in healing so Alya couldn't learn anything from it and Diana was not too interested in healing. Well, maybe some other time.

Daniel continued his training and got much better. Still the scolding that he got from his sister and mother for going to the chamber was not something that he wants to live through again.

The adults somehow bought their story and didn't ask more questions as Daniel showed them the diary and basilisk fang. Of course Dumbledore gave Daniel so many points that winning the cup was not possible for any other house. The girls just shrugged it off, while it is sad that they won't get the EXP, they are glad that the school is safe and Daniel alive.

Soon the end of the year exams came and after that the ending feast.

After gathering their things both girls took the carriage that will take them to the train. It was a good year and even though it was quite busy they got a lot out of it. Now they just need to decide what to do during summer.

END.. finally

Okay this is the longest chapter yet. At first I thought that I will be able to write it fast but then I saw how many things I need to do, if I want to end the year in one chapter that I almost cut it in two.

Now though here it is and i hope that you enjoyed it. I spend some time on editting it and it should be a little better in terms of grammar (at least I hope so).

Now the next chapter will be soon, for more info check my profile, I update it everyday.
