Chapter 13
[Flashback]
A new prefect was making her rounds before she stumbled upon a message,
Her Skeleton will lie in the chamber forever!
The prefect than ran to find the nearest teacher as she started to cry out, "Help! Help!"
[Present]
People immediately flooded into the area along with Hermione who was still shaken up from Harry's message paled to a sour milk as people slowly inched away from her as if she was a bad omen.
The message struck a cord from within her as she started to lightly shake, 'Ginny...'
As the students conversed, aurors rushed into the castle and shooed the students back into their common rooms for questioning as the teachers were held up in Albus' office.
The lead auror slammed his hand on his desk, "That's it. Albus Dumbledore, as of now you are banned from setting another foot back into this castle!"
McGonagall immediately stood up to his defense, "Watch your tone, young man!"
"Cram it, McGonagall! If you give me any lip, I'll toss you on your ass as well!" He snarled
Before she could blow her top, Dumbledore placed a calming hand on her shoulder, "Calm down, please let us not argue. Now you all need to understand, that I am needed here. I can protect the students."
Another auror had his arms crossed over his chest as he spat, "Oh really? And all the situations here are just what? A coincidence? What's next you want to tell us that Harry Potter is doing all of this?"
'Yes! But you idiots won't believe me!' He inwardly screamed
He let out a disappointed sigh as the auror continued, "The two werewolf attacks within hours of each other, the maiming of Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkison, the torture and sadistic death of Neville Longbottom, the unexplained deaths of Sirius Black and Arabella Figg are all within days of each other and you expect me to believe that you can protect the students when everyone around you is dropping like flies?!"
Albus opened his mouth to speak before a pair of knocks rang out and he said, "Come in!"
The door opened and Hagrid came in, carrying a set of bones and a collection of torn pieces from a Gryffindor Hogwarts uniform.
The half-giant saw the group of aurors and the paling group of teachers, "Um...I'll come back later."
The lead auror growled, "No. Enter. What are you carrying?"
Hagrid glanced at Albus, but another auror growled, "Don't look at him, look at us. Now answer him."
Hagrid looked at the pile of bones in his hands, "I think...I found Ronald Weasley."
A pair of aurors immediately converged on him and the female one said, "Put them down, please."
He did as they asked and backed away as the second auror cast a spell and nodded to the lead auror, "These are the bones of Ronald Weasley."
"Get out!" He snapped, pointing at the door as the rest of the aurors aimed their wands at him.
Albus surrendered with his hands raised as he slowly made his way out of the castle, a tear dropping down his wrinkled face as the door slammed behind him with a vicious sense of finality.
As he made his way into town he thought, 'Is this what you are planning, Harry? Haven't you caused enough havoc?"
[Night]
The mood of Hogwarts was unnerving and depressing, all the deaths and mutilations kept happening one after the other.
The Hufflepuffs were terrified and point-blank refused to leave their common rooms and Sprout didn't have the heart to ignore their requests.
The Ravenclaws left in groups of five to ten people as they didn't want to be ambushed by whoever was picking off all the students of Hogwarts and more than once wished Harry was here so he could fix this mess.
The Slytherins absolutely refused to leave their common room without a group of upperclassmen in fear of being hexed and assaulted in which attacks against them had quadrupled now that Snape was on the run for attacking and assaulting his godson and three other students. The rest of the school wanted and needed a scapegoat and their house suited the rest of the community just fine to be their stress-relieving punching bag.
The Gryffindors were in the epitome of their depression, but no one felt worse than Hermione who found herself isolated, just like her middle school years but much worse. No one associated with her as those who did found themselves dead.
By the end of the day, Hermione quickly returned to her dorm room, changed into her pajamas and went to bed, hoping that tomorrow was slightly better. As she heard the girls in her dorm shuffle into their beds, before it finally became quiet and she allowed her body to unwind.
When the clock struck midnight, Hermione grimaced and turned, quickly shifting positions as she felt that she was on fire before she snapped into a sitting position and touched her cheek, before she quickly removed her hand, surprised at how hot it was.
She soon felt the heat spreading from her hand down to the rest of her arm and the rest of her body before she then lost all feeling as her body started to move its' own accord, jumping out of bed and slowly moving at a sedated pace. The poor girl couldn't even scream, as she wondered where the hell she was going before she saw the hall leading to the library and she entered.
Finally, after she turned a corner and entered the restricted section, she saw someone who had been haunting her nightmares since his late-night visit into her bed.
He was sitting on a large, comfortable plush chair as he was wearing a pair of dark-washed skinny jeans with a pair of combat boots and a silk shirt.
Her mouth finally moved under her own power as she whispered, "Harry..."
He gave a large grin, "Hello, Hermione!"
"What have you done?"
He chuckled, "Many, many things, little otter."
She clenched her fist, "Someone will find out and they will stop you."
Harry gave a mad cackle making a vile shudder run down her spine, "Really? Do you think they can? We both know how pathetic the ministry truly is."
"You would allow Voldemort to kill us?" She whispered
"Hmm, I have my bones to pick with him, but I need to settle my score with the lot of you first."
"Have you been responsible for all the murders?"
He didn't bother responding as he looked up at the ceiling.
"Answer me, please!"
Harry gave a slightly disturbing grin as he looked down from the ceiling back to her, making her shiver at the amused/bored look on his face, "You feel nothing."
He shook his head, "But I do... I feel many things. Arousal, satisfaction, peace, and several other things."
She teared up, "How could you?"
Harry just gave her a serene-filled smile, "Quite easily."
"What are you going to do to me?"
He let out a slight sigh as he beckoned her towards him, "Come here."
She tried to stay still, but her body moved until she sat on his lap.
"How...?"
He let out a bit of a sadistic giggle, "Remember when I kissed your cheek that night? And my little message?"
She paled, "The Basilisk."
He cooed and pinched her cheek, "Correct but not quite, little otter. The venom from the Basilisk."
"H-how...the venom is supposed to be deadly."
"It is, but I'm the person who has been living with its' venom through my veins for years. Fawkes' tears made sure it didn't kill me, but I was able to bind with it and that hellhole. But that's not important, what you need to know is that you are mine now. Considering your crush on me, think of this as mercy. You get to be my cute little maid to watch over the children I get to bring into this world with my beautiful bride."
"Never!"
"You don't have a choice, little otter. By the time I'm done with you, will be nothing sort of a druggie addicted to me."
Tears fell down her cheeks as she gave him a snarl, "I'd rather die."
He tilted his head, "Would you?"
"Yes!" She screamed
Then his face turned emotionless, "...Then die," he snarled as he threw her through the library and into the wall, making it collapse before her feet as she finally skidded to a stop.
She fell unconscious for ten minutes, she woke up with a groan and whispered, "Am I dead...?"
Harry leaned over her and quipped "Nope. But you will be, you have an hour. You better pray that I don't catch you or I will deliver your wish."
Her vision started to become clearer as she realized the situation she was still in, "My...wish?"
"To die, of course. It won't be easy, I'll be vile and cruel just as you were to me in that courtroom on that damned day."
She ran off, stumbling as she went as he watched her disappear down the hall as he let a smile settle on his lips, "You better run little otter. If I catch you, Merlin knows what I'll do to you."
Hermione huffed and puffed as she raced down the hall before stumbling into Cho Chang, "Hermione?"
"Help me! You have to help me, please!"
"What's go-Urk!" She choked as she slowly looked down at the blade in her chest, before she turned around to see someone she thought was dead, "Ha-arry?"
He grinned, "You know I wondered why Cedric ever dated a whiny little cur like you. But you can apologize to him when you meet him on the other side," he concluded before he vertically bisected her.
Hermione screamed as she was covered in her blood as she looked at the emotionless face of her ex-best friend as he spat, "Run!"
She then continued to run as she saw the vile ghostly visage of Neville, bleeding and rotting, the festering wound of the Potter symbol etched into his chest, just made the sight more unnerving.
"N-Neville?"
"You...I HATE YOU!" He snarled his eyes were blood red as he lashed out at her, catching her on her face, making her stumble back as she raced off as Neville chased after her, screaming curses and wishes that she died a horrible death just as he had.
Hermione continued to run as she felt the wisps of his icy figure trail after her along with the sound of Harry's blade slicing through the air, only spurred her onward.
The chase continued for what felt like hours Hermione was huffing and puffing before she skidded to a stop when she saw the rotted visage of Ron, clumps of greasy, goo-covered spider eggs were nesting inside of the rotted, moss-filled cervices of his body as spiders crawled all over him as he glared at her with his glowing yellow eyes as he screamed and cursed at her as she continued to run.
Then as she tried to get to the second floor, she saw the ghostly visage of Ginny who looked like a greasy skeleton with skin on it, a dark chunky gray substance settled into a puddle underneath her as the only thing bloated about her was her stomach as she screamed and chased after her, making her run again.
"It's your fault!"
"It's your fault!"
"I wish I never met you!"
"I wish the troll smashed you!"
"Damn bookworm!"
"Useless!"
"Worthless!"
They finally cornered her as they slashed at her skin as she could see flashes of what Harry did to them.
"Why do you get to survive!"
"It's not fair!"
"Suffer!"
"Suffer as we have!"
Just as they were about to converge on her to tear her apart, she heard Harry's voice cut through the madness, "Your hour is up."
The gruesome visages disappeared, leaving Hermione alone with only Harry.
He menacingly sauntered towards her as she pressed herself against the wall and she screamed, "I want to live! And I will live!"
She felt something snap from within her and flicked out her wand and was about to cast a spell before he grabbed her arm as he pulled her close to him, "That's my new spitfire maid," he grinned before he kissed her full on the lips, shocking her into releasing her wand.
Hermione quickly collapsed into his embrace as he could only smirk into the kiss as her lips were black from the venom, her eyes became slightly glazed over as she slumped against the wall as he whispered into her ear, "I can't wait to see how your mind degrades."
She was panting as she mustered up a glare, "I will overcome this."
He just gave her a smile, "We will see, won't we?"
Then, he vanished with a pop, leaving a flustered witch behind who immediately collapsed from the stress of her situation.
[Luna's Household]
He apparated back several steps before her house and spat in the grass, watching it rot, as he let out a huff before he made his way inside to find Luna resting on the couch in a silk dress. When he walked over to her, she asked, "Alright, mister, what did you do?"
"Let's just say I'm putting in training for our new maid."
"Oh really? So those new fangs do a lot more than spice up our time together."
"Don't test me, doll."
"Of course not, love. But the venom will make her addicted to me and seek me out as well it will force her to lash out, completing her isolation then she will only depend on both of us."
"So, I get my maid?"
"Of course, after all, a princess beautiful as you deserves nothing but the best."
She grinned as she kissed his cheek, "Charmer."
"I try." He grinned
[Poppy's Office]
"Ugh..." A low groan rang out, making Poppy quickly walk towards the bed where Draco was resting.
He blinked his eyes as his body felt heavy and he felt that his head got slapped with a beater's bat repeatedly.
"Mr. Malfoy...Can you hear me?"
He tried to speak, but he could only muster a slight wheeze as Poppy helped him drink a cup of lukewarm water, making him give a slight glance of thanks.
He could only croak out, "W-what happened?"
"You were attacked by a werewolf. I'm sorry."
Draco tensed as his mind immediately recalled his attack and started to hyperventilate before Poppy hit him a calming spell as he felt a vile shudder run through him.
"Who did it?"
"Mr.-"
"Tell me?! Please...I need to know, please."
"Severus Snape was the one who attacked you that night. I'm so sorry."
Draco paled and she continued, "Only you and Miss Parkison, survived."
"And they-"
"Are dead. Again, I'm very sorry, their parents already took them to be buried, but you still need to rest."
"What did he do to me?"
"I'm sorry, but I will tell you once your parents are with you," She stated as she turned to leave before he called out, "Wait. How's Pansy?"
She gave him a sad look, "She's beside you, the shock of the attack on her person knocked her into a healing coma. I am not sure if she will wake up. Please stay in bed."
Draco could only watch her retreating back as tears fell down his face as he pulled his knees up, making a vile stab of pain shoot up his spine as he let out a bit of a sob as he wished he was in a horrible nightmare.
Romilda was beside Draco, but she was in a comatose state as her mind continued to replay her attack as she stared at her stomach, wishing that she was just in a horrible nightmare.
[Voldemort's Throneroom]
The snake-like man grinned at his forces, "Now...my dear Death Eaters. It is time to make our name feared throughout Britain once more and no one will stand in our way."
They cheered before he silenced them with a single hand raise and he ordered, "Go to town and take out as many people as possible, I expect a heavy death toll or I will be disappointed."
"Yes, my Lord."
"Dismissed."
The pale man could only grin as he would soon have the entire country under his control and no one would be in his way.
'It's a damn shame, I couldn't have him as a death eater, he could easily be on Bella's level and possibly my own if given the proper training.'
[Abe's Bar]
Finally, the sun settled over the horizon as Albus made to go to his brother and his old bar.
He gave a small smile, "Hello, Abe."
"Albus."
"Is something a matter?"
"Just annoying pest who keeps coming back to my bar."
"I see...but, would you be willing to talk over drinks?"
"And why should I?"
"Abe, please. I really need someone to talk to with my current situation."
"Shouldn't that girl of yours be willing to listen to you?"
"I got kicked from my position as Headmaster."
"Really? What got you tossed on your ass from your esteemed position after so long?" He quipped
"Now, why so cold? I just want to talk."
Abe gave him a frosty look, "Cold? You want to know why I'm so cold?"
Ending the chapter! I hope all of you like and sorry for the wait! Sorry for the shitty cliffhanger to this chapter and how shit it is, but I decided to leave it here. The next chapter will be better, I promise.
Thank you for the reviews!
SlytherinQueen020 - Thank you very much and I agree that Harry x Luna pairings are the best, I always love this pairing because I feel they would be a good match. I'm really big on Harry x Hermione or Harry x Ginny which I find nasty and I feel that the pairing is viciously forced. I can also see Harry with an older woman as well because I feel he never really had a childhood and someone to give him balance. Overall, I'm happy you love my story. Hmm, maybe, I but I did like Scott in the beginning but I kind of enjoy Peter as a villain and I love Teen Wolf. If I had to write a fanfiction on the series, I would make Scott more mature and darker. I feel his character got ham-fisted as the episodes went on. Although I do love Stiles.
Guest#1 - Thank you!
Draph91 - I don't think he did either, someone PM me if I'm wrong, but I am a good 60% sure that he didn't tell Albus where the chamber was. Either way, in this story, let us just say he didn't and move on.
Gurgaraneth - Thank you.
Xerox45 - Thank you and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
DarkRavie - Thank you.
Perseus12 - I know right? They will get what's coming to them and it's going to be sweet.
djsmall565 - Thank you and I plan on toying with Hermione a lot and I'm happy you are enjoying the story.
Banshee-024 - Thank you and Dumbles will get his punishment, after all, he's not in the castle anymore.
TheGrandDisciple - Thank you, but I don't feel that Ron deserves such a special show and Ron getting eaten by spiders is just what he deserves. Who knows...maybe~. Thanks for enjoying!
PappyOldGuy - I'm glad you enjoy this story and the interplay between characters and I hope you enjoy this update.
fifespice - Thank you!
sandipi - Thank you and I hope you enjoy this update.
(guest) staar - Yeah, I was going to have her be cooked alive as a hen, plucked of feathers before being spiced up and roasted alive in an oven. But I feel it may have been a bit too brutal. Tell me if you want me to make it a short extra scene at the end of the next chapter and I'll do it.
(guest) simon d uzumaki - Thank you and Hermione is going to be Luna and Harry's slave, but I'm not going to transform her into a house elf, she will be a lower form of a maid and used for both of their pleasures. But let it be noted that the relationship is mainly Harry and Luna, Hermione fucked up her chance to be with Harry and she will only be nothing more than a plaything until Harry's done with her.
(guest) Azrael - Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
(guest) That Guy - My apologies for making you wait and I hope you enjoy this chapter and your fever will finally give up its' struggle.
mizzrazz72 - I know, I feel that Arthur would have a better match with a lovely woman that actually cares for her family and would love her sons.
Arsao Tome - Thank you, thank you very much - Elvis Presley
Kilare T'suna - But that would be too easy, wouldn't it?
Strayan Mate - Thank you and you have to wait and find out.
Phantomsoul2015 - I'm glad you enjoy it.
DarylDixon'sLover - Thank you.
Midnight Angels - Oh, but why, he's just getting started.
(guest) Azrael - My apologies.
ToddGilliss - Yep.
Skull Flame - Yep! Unfortunately, he hasn't and neither have I, (gasp) yes, yes, I know I haven't and I need to. When I get a long break, I'm going to send an entire week just watching Game of Thrones and probably have ten story ideas by the end of season 1. Regardless, I'll get on it and Hermione betrayed Harry due to her ironclad belief in authority and that she was stealing from Harry. If he knew, he would be in the right for dumping her which would leave her as fresh pickings for everyone who does loathe her personality.
Destineyofme - Thank you.
Eternity456 - Thank you and I am happy you are enjoying it.
DannyDivine - Thank you and I love that you love the story.
