CHAPTER 6:

Harry and Alyssa walked to their next class, Herbology with Gryffindors. They shared this class with Fred and George Weasley, so the were exited. When they arrived, Harry and Alyssa sat next to the twins, and then Professor Sprout came in. "today we are going to learn about Devil's Snare. Can anyone tell me why it's dangerous? Yes, Mr. Potter?" "well, if you step on it, it will start to strangle you with it's roots. The only way to get free is either to get fire, which it is afraid of, or simply relax, and it will let go. However, the more you struggle, the more it tightens." "excellent, Mr. Potter. Take five points for Slytherin."

He decided that he quite liked Professor Sprout in the end of the lesson, and he would stay out of her way when he rose to power.

The rest of the lesson went by in a blur. By the end of it, the Weasley twins and Malfoy had gotten into a little spat, which Harry quickly ended. Slytherin gained twenty points and Gryffindor gained thirty, mostly due to Neville Longbottom, who seemed to be a herbology prodigy.

The next class they had was potions, also with the Gryffindors, and with their head of house as a teacher. "today you will learn the subtle art of brewing potions. There will be no foolish wand-waving in this class." The whole class put their wands away. He read the list of names on the roll call. When he got to Harry's name, he simply stared at hm with a bit of contempt for a second before continuing. "Longbottom!" Professor Snape yelled at him. "yes sir?" asked Neville. "what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" "I don't know, sir." Neville replied. "let's try again, Longbottom. Where would I find a bezoar?" "I don't know, sir." "ten points for your cheek, Longbottom." Snape was almost gleeful. "what is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?" "I don't know, sir" Neville meekly replied. "another ten points for pure incompetence. Let's try Mr. Potter. What are the answers to my three questions?" Harry calmly replied. "Drought of living death, stomach of a goat, and they are the same plant." Snape looked impressed for a second before telling the whole class to write it down. The rest of the class went by, with Longbottom melting his cauldron and his shoes in the process. Harry thought that if Neville gained more confidence, he would be a great wizard one day. George ended up having to take him to the hospital wing though.

At the end of class, they had lunch, Harry sat down with the girls, and they just talked. They talked about gossip, quidditch, famous people, and just talked. They got to know each other. At the end of lunch, Harry said, "alright. After transfiguration, we will meet on the seventh floor, next to the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy. You guys come at around six, but Alyssa and I will go a bit earlier." "alright, Harry" they replied simultaneously. They got up and headed for transfiguration. When they got there, there was a black cat sitting on the desk. They payed it no heed ad took their seats. The rest of the class came in, and the only ones missing were Fred and George. They came running in, five minutes late, and said to each other, "whew, good thing McGonagall isn't here, or she'd have our hides" then, the black cat jumped up off the table and transformed midair into Professor McGonagall! Everyone but Harry and Alyssa were shocked. "Hello Mr. Weasleys. Do I need to turn one of you into a pocket watch so that at least the other one can keep track of time?" "No, Ma'am" they said, a bit frightened. They hurried to take their seats, and McGonagall began her lecture.

Transfiguration went by in a blur, with Harry being the first to transfigure their match into a needle. He helped Alyssa and told her it was all about intent. Once she got it right, they had earned ten points for Slytherin, and some angry Gryffindors. The only one that seemed unperturbed by this was Neville, who didn't seem to care about house differences.

After transfiguration, they were done with classes for the day. Daphne, Tracy, Pansy and Fey went back to the common room for a bit, but Harry and Alyssa walked to the seventh floor, next to the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy. Harry thought really hard about a place to study, and suddenly a door appeared in the place of the tapestry. Alyssa gasped, and exclaimed, "this door wasn't here before!" "no, it wasn't" Harry said. "this door appears when you think about something you desperately need, and inside the door will be the thing you are looking for. So, for now, I asked for a place to study" Harry almost dragged her into the room, as she was still in shock. "isn't your mother also supposed to be here for this meeting?" Alyssa asked "yes, but I wanted to show you first" they were inside the same room that Harry had discovered before, with the many bookshelves filled with books of all kinds. There were even some cozy looking couches to read on. They sat on them, and Harry said, "the room can change while your inside it too. Watch this." Harry closed his eyes and thought about the room of hidden things. Suddenly, the room changed to the piles and piles of long forgotten stuff that Harry had seen before. Harry led her to the Diadem of Ravenclaw and said, "look. This is my ancestor Ravenclaw's Diadem. Apparently, when you place it on your head, it grants you unimaginable knowledge. We could use it to gain so much more power so much easier. The one thing that I noticed was the dark aura surrounding it. That was the only thing that made me hesitant"

"I think you should still try it on later. What's the worse it could do? The possibilities are surely worth whatever it can do to you. Once you've tried it on, I'll try it on, and we will have the same knowledge. We will be equals in all ways, and able to conquer the world!" she finished passionately. "very well" replied Harry. "let's go to the common room and pick up the girls, then head to the grounds to pick up my mother as well." They started walking towards the dorm.

SLYTHERIN DORM

"Come, let's go girls, I have a room where we can have our talk, and I owled my mother the location of this room so she can meet us there."

They walked to the seventh floor and met his mother in front of the portrait. Harry gave Lily a cold stare, and said, "if you betray me or disappoint me, I won't hesitate to punish you. I already dislike you for your negligence of me over the years, so don't make it worse" "yes, son. I will not disappoint you." Lily determinedly said. "good" Harry coldly replied.

Harry thought about a room to just talk, the tapestry disappeared, and a door appeared. Everyone but Harry and Alyssa let out a gasp of surprise, and Harry and Alyssa led the way inside.

Inside there were two very comfortable looking couches with a table with drinks in the middle. They all sat down, and Harry began.

"so, Daphne, Tracy, Fey, and Pansy. All of your families served in the Bellisario court. You have finally found the heir that has been lost for centuries. What were your plans?" "we planned on swearing our loyalty to her to help her rebuild the Bellisario court, but then she told us that instead of serving her, she wanted us to serve you in your conquest, and that by doing so, our names would mean something once more. We wanted to know what your goals are for this world before deciding who to swear loyalty to." Replied Daphne.

Harry smiled. "well, my end goals are fairly simple. World domination. My motive is the need for revenge that my parents, Dumbledore, and Matthew Potter deserve. I have yet to decide what my revenge on my mother will be, and I plan on doing this in any way possible. Using dark magic, light magic, manipulation. Anything works as long as I have my revenge. Does that answer your question, Heiress Greengrass?" "only partly. Why do you want world domination, and what is wrong with the current world and how will you change it?" replied Daphne.

"good questions. I believe wizarding Britain is insanely corrupt, with people destroying the society for a couple of galleons. This needs to stop. I will need an army, similar to Voldemort's death eaters. He had one flaw in his plan though. He planned on ruling through fear and misery. I plan on ruling through showing the people that what was there before was a terrible world that no one would ever want to return to. Having one person in charge. There would be no corruption. People who accept bribes are punished harshly, and no discrimination will be tolerated." "Furthermore, I am a member of House Evans, who was another world leader during the time of the Bellisarios. We have always been two closely knit families and will continue to do so. Alyssa will be my second in command, and you will obey her word as if it were mine, unless the two contradict each other." Harry replied passionately.

The others gave a look of surprise, but it really only made them more willing to swear to him. Daphne said, "alright. Since we agree to your ideals and Alyssa told us to, we will swear our undying loyalty to you and your cause." Harry grinned. "when you swear the oath to me, you will bear my mark. My mark is a eagle and a snake intertwined. It will appear on your chest once you are done." Daphne kneeled first and swore, "I, Daphne Ophelia Greengrass, of sound mind body and soul, do hereby swear my mind, body, and soul to you, Harry James Evans, Dark Lord and Ruler of the Earth. I am yours to command. If I ever disobey you, I will take any punishment you see fit. I will be completely devoted to you and no one else. In the eyes of our ancestors, who served by your side in the past. This I swear, So Mote it be." A blinding flash of magic sealed the oath, and a mark appeared on Daphne's chest, and she pulled her shirt up to look at it. "beautiful" she whispered. She then walked over to Harry's side, where she knew she would remain until the end of her days. He was her Lord and Master, and she would be devoted to him above anything else. She would be his most trusted servant; she swore to herself. She would be Harry James Evans's Bellatrix Lestrange, and the name of Daphne Ophelia Greengrass would ring fear into the hearts of her and her lord's enemies.

Harry was thinking the same thing. Daphne would rise to the top quickly, and she would be one of his most trusted. He only had to see what his mother planned on doing. Tracy, Pansy, and Fey made the same oaths. Then his mother stepped up.

"I wish to to be your top advisor and servant. For you to do what you wish with me. Send me out on the most dangerous missions, make me your footstool, make me get your water. Just please give your mother a chance. Just as long as you forgive me for my sins against you in the end it will all be worth it. PLEASE! Give me an order, and I will fulfill it no matter the cost. I will be your most trusted advisor. Just in the end, forgive me for my sins, and let me be at peace! That is all I ask, My Lord." Lily said, bowing her head and kneeling. Harry looked at her in shock for a second. "you know, to be honest, you truly have surprised me with this. I never thought you would go this far to gain my forgiveness. Very well. Serve me well, and you will be forgiven for your crimes against me. After all, you are my mother. I can give you a second chance." Lily than made her oath, but this one was one of complete servitude. She would do literally anything he told her to do. If he asked her to slit her own throat, she would now do it without hesitation. He would probably never ask her to do that though, she was now too valuable an asset to let die. "rise, and stand behind me, mother." Lily immediately rose, rushing to fill her masters command. "we are going to need some more support. I think that we will start with Draco Malfoy, who is already obedient. Then maybe have some fun with the Nott boy. Then we can move on to the rest of the house and the other houses. Our first conquest will be Hogwarts itself, but we still have plenty of time for that. Let's go to bed now, shall we?" Alyssa and Harry walked arm in arm back to the Slytherin common room.

Harry gave his mother his first order. "Mother, when the Defense Against the Dark Arts position reopens next year, you will apply as a teacher so we can have an excuse for you to be near us. You will continue to be married to James Potter, and you will act as you did before around him and be our spy within Dumbledore's circle. You will obliviate their memories of the night of the meeting, and the memory of anyone else who was there." "yes, My lord" replied Lily.
