"When you can't get the right man for the job you've got to do it yourself." A woman's English accent snarled as she watched the Imps brat decapitate Striker.
"I want that bastard dead! He divorced me! For an IMP! He ruined me! I want that owl bastard dead!!!" The swan demon threw her crystal glass at the wall leaving a wine stain.
"You want me to what?" Octavia asked as she stood in Headmistress Rosie's office talking with her father.
"Harry has been having...shall we say difficulties? With his mental health for the past few weeks. Striker escaped his bonds and was stalking him."
"I'll kill the bastard!" Octavia brought up her hex aura.
"Not necessary. Harry has already killed him."
"What? Harry, in training Harry, killed an imp assassin two decades his senior with a lifetime of experience?"
"Revenge can Blind even the strongest of us my dear." Rosie said as she poured a glass of chilled Sinners Blood. "Most likely this Striker fellow was so blinded by rage and vengeance that he simply fucked up."
"Crude but adequately put." Stolas Agreed. "He underestimated our boy wizard. He needs somebody to keep him grounded while he recovers from this ordeal."
"But what about my schoolwork?" Octavia asked. "I have a term paper due next week on insider trading."
"I can arrange to have your schoolwork delivered to you." Madame Rosie said assuredly. "I like you Princess Octavia. You've got a mind for numbers and ethics I haven't seen in generations and I know you'll go far after Graduation."
"All right. But I don't want to be bothered when im doing my own schoolwork by wizardry school nonsense."
"Via!" Harry said excitedly as he hugged her.
"How's your shoulder papa?" Octavia asked Blitzo.
"Oh it's fine Madame Pomfrey fixed it up in nothing flat. We're all more concerned for Harry's mental health. What with Striker fucking escaping and literally hunting him in his own goddamned school."
"I know I saw the Voxtagram post." The owlette said. "Did you really decapitate him?"
"He's stuffed in Dads Office right now we thought you'd appreciate the taxidermy."
"I most certainly would." Octavia said as they escorted her to Blitzos office.
Octavia slowly got used to sleeping in the 6th year Slytherin Girls dorms. She actually found she liked having roommates. And they where quite curious about Hell.
"It's a lot like the Living World. No really." She told them. "We have our own cities and local governments. Albeit they all answer to Lord Lucifer at the top and the reigning Princes of the Circles. That's what our father is he is the Prince of Pride. Dad is his Prince Consort officially."
"And the Big Dicked Blitzy name is?"
Once Stolas had learned how to make Howlers he had immediately sent Blitzo a raunchy one that a lot of students and teachers heard in the Great Hall. Professor Mcgonagall's face had never been so red. Collin has his ears closed shut and Professor Lupin cheeks where pink.
Octavia groaned. "He's also one of the horniest demons outside the Lust Circle."
"At least they have a strong relationship?" One of her new roommates said in comfort.
"I suppose you could say that. I'm going to bed. I have to watch my little brother while Dad isn't around him."
"What happened between Harry and that imp he killed? It sounded like they had history."
"They went to the Wrath Ring to visit aunt Millie's family last summer. Their farmers you see, Striker was her parents new farmhand and he tried to strangle Harry when he found out Striker was an assassin sent to kill father. He had a blessed rifle and those are the only things that can kill demonic royalty outside angelic weaponry. Well Harry had made a new friend during the Junior Pain Games. A imp about a year younger than us named Strings. He came running and stabbed Striker multiple times in his kidney. Until last week Striker was being held prisoner in the palace dungeons with Lockheart as his celly."
"Ooooooohhhhhh." They all said. That made sense.
"Is Harry going to be all right?" Tracy Morgan asked.
"As long as he takes his medication as prescribed by Dr. Janus. His psychiatrist." Octavia said taking a gulp of chilled water from her night stand.
"Now I really need to go to bed. Despite being the visage of an owl in your world we are not nocturnal creatures we do need our beauty sleep just like you all do."
Striker really did a number on her baby brother. Despite her being right beside him along side Draco his familial cousin and Hermione he was still prone to paranoia and even had a panic attack after hearing some muggleborn girls jewelry rattle. Fortunately the medication Dr. Janus prescribed wouldn't take long to start working in his system. A couple of days at most. A week at the longest.
Octavia groaned as she fell back against Blitzos couch. They where going to have some father daughter time while she was at Hogwarts.
"Yeah. He's putting ya through the ringer huh?"
"I didn't realize how bad he was. I thought this would be more like babysitting him when I was 8."
"And he threw up on your favorite blanket and you tied him up then almost burned him at the stake like Joan of Arc before Stolas and I got home?"
"I forgot about that." Octavia cringed. She loved Harry but when he was little he could be a right little shit.
"Kids will be kids. And Hell kids are vastly different from Earth kids. We should have left an adult servant like Boxley with you two to supervise you two little rugrats.
"This will get better." Blitzo said as he put his fancy jeweled fountain pen down.
"I hate seeing him like this."
"I know you do sweetie Stolas and I hate seeing it too. You better get some sleep. Tomorrow is Harry's first Quidditch match and we gotta cheer him on before the Halloween feast tomorrow night!"
"Yessse." Octavia said in excitement ready for candy.
"Bloody...fuck...you!" Harry shouted the next day as a rogue bludger kept coming for him no matter where the Slytherin beaters hit it.
"Time out!" Marcus called.
"No way Gryffindor jinxed the bludger." Harry protested as the team discussed why to do. "They're too bloody noble. Even Wood would rather play a fair game than go the easy way to victory."
"I think your right." Marcus said as Terrance Higgs one of the beaters clubbed the beast away from Harry.
"I'll keep dodging the damned thing just keep the other bludger in line. We can launch an inquiry after we win."
"I agree. All right you lot new plan. Leave the Prince alone and concentrate on the other bludger."
Reluctantly the two older beaters agreed and they restarted the game.
Harry nearly roared in frustration after catching the snitch and the bludger broke his elbow before boomeranging back for more damage. Harry encased his hand in Hellfire and caught the beast and it squealed in agony as it slowly burned away. Harry crashed to the ground on his back and his teammates gasped. His right hand was nearly blackened with burns.
"I don't like to use Hellfire that way." Harry said. "But I will if I have to. Madame Pomfrey can fix this up no problem."
"The fuck happened? Does one of those bludgeon things usually go after one player?!" Blitzo shouted at Madame Hooch.
"I assure you Professor no one would have cursed that Bludger from Hogwarts." Hooch said. "Both Team Captains Misters Oliver Wood and Marcus Flint have launched official inquiries and i and the Headmaster will be interrogating both teams to be sure of innocence."
"Good. Now if you'll excuse me I have a son to escort to Madame Pomfrey."
"I recommend coming immediately back to me after the Feast Mr. Goetia." Pomfrey said knowing she wouldn't deter the boy or his family from staying after she dressed his burned hand. "So I may check on your brand before bed time."
"Of course I'll make sure he comes." Octavia said as she gently grabbed Harry's shoulder and guided him down to the Great Hall.
During the Feast Octavia had to go to the loo. Which the first floor Girls bathroom was out of order so she made her way to the Second Floor...
Harry Draco And Hermione had a few Homework assignments to work on for Monday so they left the Feast early. Albeit with bulging backpacks of sweets and sugary delights.
Upon reaching the Second Floor Harry dripped his bag. Next to the girls bathroom was a lifeless form. He ran toward it.
It was Octavia. Her face frozen in a shocked expression and her hand outstretched as if she was going to fight.
"Via?" Harry asked as he rocked her motionless form. "Big Sister come on. This isn't funny."
"Harry."
"No, she's playing a prank." Harry said with a laugh.
"Harry we need to get your Dad and the Headmaster." Draco said urgently.
"You go." Harry said. "Dad should be in the Great Hall with the other Teachers."
As Draco and Hermione left Harry holding Octavia's shocked face body he looked down and curiously saw a line of what looked like spiders in single form line hellbent on leaving the castle through a crack in the wall.
Harry then felt a drip onto his head and he looked up onto the wall.
THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED. ENEMIES OF THE HEIR BEWARE!
Written in what looked and he sniffed, smelled like blood. Chickens blood? Not human anyway.
"I knew you where a bloody monster." Came from around the corner.
Argus Filch, The caretaker and bane of all students, Harry in particular. Came around the corner.
"Fuck you old man." Harry flipped him off. "This is my sister!"
"Family don't mean nothing to a fuckin monster in human sk-"
BANG!
Filch fell holding his now stinging knee. And broken hip.
"You little bastard I should kill you for that!"
BANG!
His other knee was now shot out.
"You motherfucker! I swear I'll belt you raw! I'll hang you by your thumbs so far down in the dungeons no one will hear you scream but me!"
BANG!
His forehead now with rock salt.
"I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Excuse me, the fuck are you doing?" Blitzo said as he held a glock to Filch's skull. The imp crouching. "Don't make me put a bullet in your brain Filch no magic can cure death."
"D-Dad." Came a shuddering voice.
Blitzo stood up and dropped his gun in shock as he saw Harry holding Octavia.
"Baby Owlette please no." Blitzo held Octavia's head in his lap. He put his head to her heart. "She's still alive." He assured his distressed son.
Draco stepped on Filch's hand as it reached it for Blitzos gun. "Try it old man." He warned putting his Hunting knife gifted to him by Blitzo for Christmas last year to Filch's throat as he held the snarling mans head by his hair. "Give me any excuse." He slid it over to Hermione with his foot who picked it up gingerly and turned the safety on.
"Mr. Malfoy-" Professor Mcgonagall said in protest.
"He was teaching for Professor Blitz's gun Ma'am." Draco said. "I thought it prudent to restrain him."
"Stupefy." Professor Snape came about and stunned the squib caretaker.
The students who where exiting the great hall and coming round the corner all looked in shock at the scene before them. Octavia has been a welcome presence with the student body. A friend to many in all Houses. And now she's seemingly-
"She's not dead. She has been petrified." Dumbledore said after examining the owlette.
"What In this castle could petrify a demon?" Blitzo demanded. "As far as I'm aware no ghost or spirit can do that?"
"Dear God." Collin made the sign of the cross as he hovered over Octavia. "I can't even fix this." He told Blitzo who looked to him for answers unknown.
"I'm at a loss myself." Remus scratched his own ears in thought. "Off the top of my head I can't think of any creature or curse that could do this. Severus?"
"Nothing immediately comes to mind and I have an extensive knowledge of dark curses and spells." Severus told Blitzo.
"I'm afraid Hogwarts has many secrets within its walls that my predecessors and I have been unable to find." Albus told Blitzo. "This is an ancient castle after all."
"And what does this message have to do with those secrets?" Blitzo examines the CHAMBER HAS BEEN OPENED message and he slid his fingers through the blood before sniffing and sucking it off his fingers making students cringe.
"Rooster blood." Blitzo said. "Whoever wrote this wanted to make the message clear they're not playing around."
"Hagrid's roosters where killed a few days ago drained of blood. Now we know why." Albus said. "We can revive her. Professor Sprout got a fresh batch of Mandragoras just before term started for her Second Year classes and by stewing them we can create a Mandrake Restorative draft that will awaken Miss Goetia. Though it will take some months as they have to mature into adult Mandrakes."
Using the Levitation Charm professor Dumbledore walked with Blitzo, Harry, Draco And Hermione Ho to the Hospital Wing where Madame Pomfrey was already prepared.
"Lay the dear here." Pomfrey said.
They had immediately called Stolas and told him what happened he immediately dropped what he was doing and opened a portal to the Hospital Wing.
"Oh my sweet baby girl." Stolas said as he cupped her face seeing her shocked expression. "What is it that you saw?" He asked her. He put his forehead to hers.
He saw a cloud of fog. Nothing discernible not even memories. Whatever happened to his daughter may as well have frozen her brain too.
"I can't see it." He said in shock.
"What?" Blitzo asked. "Your Second Sight has never failed before."
"All I'm getting is fog. Like shes not there at all."
"A side effect of the petrification." Professor Dumbledore reassures the Owl Prince. "As I told your husband we can restore her it will just take time for the Mandrakes to mature."
"I will take the most excellence of care of her sirs." Madame Pomfrey assures the worries family.
"I know you will ma'am your good people." Blitzo said. "I swear to fuck when I find out who did this to my baby girl," Blitzo cocked his glock with his teeth. "Their gonna spend some quality time with Daddy..."
