Harry was numb. He felt numb anyway. For the next few days he just felt like he was going through the motions. Get up, take a shower. Breakfast, school, lunch, school, dinner, Visit Via in the Hospital Wing and stare for hours, bed. That was pretty much his current schedule. The teachers where being very lenient with him as they where aware of his current mental health crisis due to Striker and this recent addition certainly wasn't very helpful.
Another emergency session with Dr. Janus didn't help much. Again Harry just went through the motions. Apparently he had prescribed a new anti depressant after witnessing Harry's new motion behavior. Now he was on 3 medications. Prozac, Xanax and Zoloft.
Some days where good, some bad. Some days he just felt like a zombie. Like he had no emotions at all. Others he just felt like hugging his dad and crying into his neck while Blitzo ssshed him and rocked him in the rocking chair in his room.
It took about a month. But finally his medication was balancing itself out in his brain. He no longer felt super anxious. His paranoia was balancing itself out as was his depression. He still felt depressed but not as bad as before.
In the meantime, two other students where attacked. A Second year half blood Hufflepuff student Hannah Abbot was the first after Octavia. She was found on Hufflepuff Tower Floor next to a window. Looking like she was looking outside.
The second was a first year Gryffindor Muggleborn student Collin Creevy. A bit irritating for Harry as he was practically stalking Harry for pictures. But one night when Harry had fallen asleep at Octavia's side sleeping on his arms on the side of her bed.
"Do you think he might have caught a picture Albus? We think he was coming to see Miss Goetia. Apparently she had taken him under her wing and was tutoring him in advanced maths. He was found with a bunch of grapes and sweets next to him."
Harry quietly watched the teacher remove Collins camera and open the film hatch only to see the hatch explode and release the smell of burning plastic.
"What does this mean?" Harry heard Blitzos voice asked in concern.
"I'm afraid my dear imp. That our worst fears have come true. The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again..."
Harry then faked being asleep as Blitzo came over and shook him lightly to wake him up.
"You think I don't know when your faking being asleep? I am your dad kiddo." Blitzo said as they walked the corridor to Blitzos quarters. Harry had been moved there while his mental health was being worked on.
"I was worried about Via I lost track of time and fell asleep."
"And you heard everything."
"Yeah." Harry admitted. "CC is a good kid. I call him CC because we already have a Collin. A bit annoying but I wouldn't want to hurt him just because he likes taking pictures."
"He is a good kid. Asks good questions about strategy. I was pretty heartbroken when I saw them bringing him to the hospital wing."
"So Dumbledore said again. Does that mean the Chamber has been opened before?" Harry asked.
"How the fuck should I know?" Blitzo asked. "I can barely make it to the Great Hall for breakfast in the morning before I've had my morning coffee. "Come on its time for bed we've got class in the morning."
"Again? You mean the Chamber has been opened before?" Hermione asked
"That's the impression I got and they've never forgotten it." Harry said.
"I'll write Father and ask him what he knows about this Chamber." Draco said.
"I'll consult the library."
"And I'll keep taking my medication." Harry said with a fake cheery smile. "I'm no use to anyone if I don't. I'll also ask Sirius or Remus if they know anything."
"Do you know anything about this Chamber of Secrets?" Sirius asked Fenrir after reading Harry's letter. They where as usual the day after the full moon, in bed. Their legs tangled together and resting after another round of full moon sex.
"From what I can remember that I read in Historical texts Salazar Slytherin built a hidden chamber in Hogwarts and left a sort of security monster to guard it."
"What do you think it is?"
"Considering it's Slytherin probably a serpent of some kind like a giant anaconda from the amazon those things live for bloody ever you know. Plus it's probably snacked on a student or two over the years that people just chocked up to a student withdrawing or running away. Now come up here and sit on my face."
"Your insatiable."
"And you love it." Fenrir licked his muzzle.
Blitzo had suggested an extra curricular self defense class. The Great Hall was turned into a staging area with ample room for students around the stage which was in the middle of the Great Hall.
"Can everyone see me?" Can everyone hear me?" Blitzo asked as he walked around in his usual attire. "Excellent. Now as we have had 3 attacks so far one of whom was not even a student but a Guest Of Hogwarts Professor Head Giver has agreed for me and my colleagues Moxxie and Millie here-"
"Hi." Millie waved to the students.
"Don't let her adorable ness fool you Millie here is a top notch killing machine." Blitzo elbowed Millie who waved off his compliments. "Moxxie here is our weapons expert and sharpshooter who taught my son everything he knows about guns and anatomy."
"Now we will be demonstrating physical methods of self defense as we do not possess the same branch of Magic you young wizards and witches do. And anything we could do with guns could be dangerous so. Using portal spell work we will be both giving a demonstration on ways to defend yourself and giving a demonstration on what exactly IMP does."
"Oh no." Harry said.
"Oh God he's not going to-?" Hermione asked.
They revealed a large screen like portal that showed a large crew of Lumberjacks at work deforesting.
"Now these guys are responsible for some pretty shitty things including the rape and murder of a group of female muggle environmentalists. Those muggles came to IMP in Hell and hired us to take them out.
Moxxie brought out a M16 and sunglasses while Millie brought out a wicked looking battle axe. Blitzo held out a shotgun. They all jumped through the portal and the students watched the slaughter begin.
"Waaaahahhaaa." A first year Ravenclaw boy started crying as Moxxie grabbed a chainsaw and started cutting down Lumberjacks surrounding Millie.
After they where done and the entire student body was traumatized Moxxie grinned with bloodlust as he held a whirring bloodied chainsaw in his hands.
"Boy that was a fuck ton of lumberjacks!" Blitzo said as he emerged drenched in blood. "You guys wanna tie one off at The 3 Broomsticks after class?"
"Actually sir it's our ten year marriage anniversary tonight." Moxxie said to which students clapped and whistled to his embarrassment. "So I'm taking Millie to Ozzie's in the Lust Ring!"
"Ozzie's?!" Millie said excitedly. "That place is always packed!"
"What's Ozzies?" Draco asked.
"It's a lounge club owned by Uncle Ozzie."
"Whose Uncle Ozzie?" Hermione asked.
"Asmodeous the Prince Of Lust." Harry said simply.
"Why am I surprised?" Hermione asked. No really. She had read the Bible for Sunday school forwards and back and did extensive biblical research when she was 9 she knew the names of demons associated with specific sins. She knew Stolas was associated with Pride before she met Harry but not the extent.
Harry knee the look his dad was getting. He had some kind of buzzard obsession with Aunt Millie and Uncle Moxxies relationship.
"All right kiddos while I'll be signing off to go visit my husband while I'm all bloody, which makes him horny, I will be turning your defense education over to your esteemed professors Snape and Lupin."
"We apologize for Professor Blitzos conduct we had no idea he was going to show you all a literal massacre." Remus said as Blitzo opened a portal to a fancy looking office. Jumping through and closing it.
They learned the Disarming Charm, expelliarmus. And where immediately set up in pairs.
"No no Neville." Harry said scolding the boy. "Grip your wand firmly. Not flimsily. I could practically yank your wand out."
Harry liked Neville Longbottom. The boy was always courteous to him. He also had an extensive knowledge of magical flaura and more than once Harry had asked for his services in helping him complete a Herbology essay. Offering Gold, sweets or books on plants, also trying to help him gain more self confidence.
"E-expelimarmius." Neville shouted at Harry and his own fingers started to bloat. "Oh damn."
Sigh. "Finite." Harry said and Neville's fingers deflated. "No Neville like this. EXPELLIARMUS!"
Neville's wand was yanked by an unseen force and Harry caught it in his own hand."
"Excellent spell work Mr. Goetia Ten Points to Slytherin." Remus said, impressed. "Mr. Longbottom he's right you've got to be more confident in your casting."
"I don't want to hurt anyone." Neville said quietly.
"And that's the point of the spell." Harry said. "It's a Disarming Charm not an Arm Severing Charm. Oi Seamus! Show him!"
"Expelliarmus!" Seamus Finnigan disarmed his partner fellow Gryffindor Dean Thomas.
There was screaming. students where giving one area a wide berth creating a circle. Harry and the professors ran toward the circle to see an extremely poisonous cobra hissing softly and slithering around the circle.
"STOP!" Harry shouted as it was inching forward toward Hufflepuff student Justin Finch-Flechley.
The serpent curiously stopped its slithering and curiously stared at Harry.
"Epara Ivanesca." Professor Snape said before the serpent was set ablaze and burned to ashes. Harry's Head Of House stared at him as did everyone else.
"Alright everyone better stop staring st me, right fucking now. Do you really think that's good imagery for someone who recently had a mental health crisis?"
Draco and Hermione came rushing forward and grabbed Harry by his sides.
"Your a bloody Parselouth?!" Draco demanded.
"What?" Harry asked in confusion.
"You can talk to snakes." Hermione explained.
"I know. I don't advertise it but I used to chat with the garden snakes in the palace greenhouses and bring them mice for treats. Their my friends. They act as my eyes and ears around the palace."
"Oh bloody Hell, The Dark Lord did the same thing Harry." Draco said in panic. "This is bad."
"Why's it bad? If you have an unknown ability you use it to your advantage. If you think I don't have the snakes around Hogwarts keeping an eye on things your both fools."
"Wait you never told your parents about it?" Hermione asked curiously.
"I grew up in Hell Hermione who in Hell is famously associated with snakes?"
"I see." Hermione said in understanding."
"What?" Draco asked in confusion.
"Lucifer the Fallen Angel came to Eve the First Woman in the image of a serpent in the Garden of Eden and tricked her into eating an Apple from the Tree of Knowledge and gave the same fruit to Adam the First Man resulting in mankind's banishment from Paradise." Hermione explained to Draco. "Lucifer, the Ruler Of Hell." She elaborated.
"Ooooohhhhh. I see now too you never told them because you thought they'd freak."
"Or I'd be taken away." Harry said. "What does me talking to snakes have to do with Hogwarts?"
"Harry there's a reason the symbol of Slytherin House is a snake. Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth. He could talk to snakes too. So could Voldemort it's a hereditary trait you see."
"Like eye color?"
"Exactly it's an ability that is extraordinarily rare and considered a Dark Art. Do you see where I'm going with this?" The muggleborn asked.
"Oh Fuck me fuck me fuck me." Harry said. "What do I do now?" He asked starting to pace in thought. "How do I get out of this without being royally screwed?"
"I'd tell your Dad immediately when he gets back." Draco suggested. "He has to know."
