Chapter 6 Secret's of the books
After getting home and taking the books with him, he began reading them. The first few chapters of them both were mainly history. The rest of them were spells that they invented or they thought were particular useful.
Harry the next few days reading them both from cover to cover three times, a few spells and potion's caught his eye. He would have use for them later, especially one for Remus.
Finally Harry found a few spells that he was willing to try now. They weren't really spells but invocations; they invoked some of the power of his ancestors. One of them had to be chanted in Parseltongue, which invokes Slytherin side, and the other is in Phoenixnea, which invokes Gryffindor side.
He began chanting ^I call on you Godric Gryffindor; fill me, your ancestor with your power and knowledge. Invoke thee.^ He could feel the energy build around him, then it entered him. He felt energized, yet drained at the same time. He all of sudden knew a lot more; ancient spells that haven't been used in a century of time, his family history from his father's side that dated back to Godric himself.
Next Harry was going to invoke his Slytherin side + I call on you Salazar Slytherin; fill me, your ancestor with your power and knowledge. I invoke thee.+ As he chanted it he could once again feel the energy build around him, then enter him just as it did the time before. He knew now, some ancient potions and his family history on his mother's side that dated back to Salazar.
After performing the invocations, Harry felt the power around him, he was at least a third more powerful then he was before. He felt very tired, because his body had to adapt to the new found power and knowledge that he just acquired all of a sudden.
~Dream~
Harry found himself in nothing, if that was possible. There was a lot of mist and light, he wasn't sure if he was even standing on something.
There were two figures approaching him. They were side by side; the one on his left wore a green robe. He had short brown hair and unnatural green eyes. The one on his right wore a red robe; he had wild raven black hair and brown eyes. Both a little taller then average and well built.
Harry thought they both seemed so familiar but he was sure he's never seen either one of them before. "Where am I and who are you?" He voiced his concern about his present state.
The one in green spoke up "Where you are is simple, you are in dreamscape. It's not a real physical place, but it does exist obviously, other wise we wouldn't be here now. It's kind of hard to explain, since we aren't just in your own mind"
The one in red spoke up next "Who we are is much simpler, we are you ancestors who powers you invoked earlier, I am Godric Gryffindor, and this is Salazar Slytherin."
"Yes, we've been expecting you for quite some time, although I think you were a bit earlier then previously predicted. I believe someone owes me 10 Galleon's." Salazar said opening his hand to Godric. He just mumbled something and dropped the coins in his hand.
Harry was confused. 'How did they I would use those spells or even find them?' He thought then asked "Ok, so why am I here or how did I get here?"
Salazar just laughed and answered "You are here because you invoked us, that's also the how. Otherwise you'd never be able to visit us here, since we are dead in your world."
Godric smiled "We are here since you summoned us, we came. We also came to give you a few pieces of advice."
Some of his confusing was going away, "So how did you know I would eventually use the spells?"
"Well the books were put in your library, only 'you', or someone of your blood by choice."
"What do you mean by my library?"
"That library was built for you when you moved to Privet Drive, we assumed you would discover it eventually, and if you did the books would have been moved when you discovered your room in Hogwarts."
"I have a room in Hogwarts?"
"Well of course you do, you are the soul heir of two of the founders. Every heir has a room, but once you were born, the Slytherin and Gryffindor heir room were combined, since our blood will never be separated. Our pictures are guarding the door, I'm sure you'll love the room."
Harry was ecstatic at the possibility of having a huge private room. "So how do I find this room?"
Godric answered "We'll give you a mental location of where it is, now for the advice; since you used both invocations, another spell will appear. It was made just for 'you' and no one else, since you have both our blood. Half of it is in Phoenixnea the other half is in Parseltongue. Even if someone else has both of our blood and can understand both languages it won't work. It can only be used once."
Salazar said "Yes, it's quite a powerful invocation, I suggest you perform it sometime after you get to Hogwarts, once you get settled into you room. Also if you write in the books we will or I should say our memories will write back, so you can ask us questions about the spells and such. Also there are some sections in the books that you have to complete something before the rest of that chapter will appear"
Godric then said "Also you might want to use the vision correction spell; you can't have you glasses falling off in the middle of a duel. How could you duel if you couldn't see your adversary?"
Harry thought that he made a good point and he remembered reading about the spell, but didn't really give it a second thought.
Godric then continued "We also left you a gift in your room in Hogwarts; an egg. We won't tell you what it is, since you will find out when it hatches, but remember it will only respond to you and family or ones it finds to be worthy. Others could get injured so try not to let anyone pet it, since it will most likely not want to be touched by someone it considers undeserving. I think that is all, so good bye young prince"
"Good bye our heir, we will meet again." Salazar said smiling at Harry.
~End Dream~
Harry woke up and remembered the conversation, for the first time this summer he looked forward to going back to Hogwarts. 'What's up with me being called young prince? I'm not a prince, at least I don't think I am, maybe it has something to do with being heir of two of the founders.' He wondered.
He didn't feel nearly as tired as before, he checked the clock and it was early Monday morning. Harry recalled being told to correct his vision, even though he actually liked his glasses, Godric made a good point about them. 'They even obstruct my Quidditch playing, so I guess it could have added benefits.'
So Harry set about to look up the vision correction spell, even though he knew it, he just wanted to make sure. Finding it he read over it a few times, it had to be performed every day for a week, and then it shouldn't need to be reapplied again.
Harry put his right add his eyes and said "videre melior", a flash of blue light hit him in the eyes, and suddenly his vision was blurry. Then he remembered that he still had his glasses on, removing them he found that his vision was even better then before with his glasses. Everything came in crystal clear, he could see much further too.
Since he had around 5 hours before he had to leave for work he started reading Salazar's book. There was a section in there about the dark arts that seemed interesting. It described them like normal spells, which they were. According Salazar, Magic itself is neither dark nor light, it's the intention of the one controlling them whether or not it is considered evil or not. Salazar was considered a Dark Wizard since he practiced the 'Dark Arts' openly, most thought he was evil even though he was on the side of light just as much as Godric.
"The Dark Arts aren't evil; almost all of them could be used for good. There are some that can't really be used for good, but aren't evil."
The book went on to describe the different spells and ways that they could be used for good. It was saying that he should learn them, since they could save his life at some point in time, and Harry actually agreed.
"Start off learning the dark arts with the 3 of the most powerful spells; Imperius Curse (Imperio), Cruciatus Curse (Crucio), and the Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra). Get some small living creature like an insect and perform all 3 in that order, then finish this chapter"
Harry was a more then a little nervous about performing the unforgivables at all, let alone on a living creature. After a few minutes of thinking, he thought that Salazar probably new best and they could save his life or someone else and it would be worth it. He began looking for something living on his floor; he found a spider quickly under his bed.
Harry pointed his hand at the spider saying "Imperio." He told the spider to walk out from under his bed and in the open. He commanded the spider to build a web enclosure for itself; after it was done he released the spider from the spell. The spider couldn't leave it was trapped.
He then said "Crucio.", watching the spider squirm under the pain. Harry remembered the feeling of it all too well, since Voldemort put him under the curse, the pain was unbearable. He immediately released the curse.
Sighing about what he was about to do next, he said the one curse that he thought he'd never cast "Avada Kedavra". The spider stopped moving and fell over, dead. Harry instantaneously felt horrible guilt after killing a living thing.
Harry looked back at the book and more text appeared after the part about performing the spells.
"If your reading this it means that you have successfully performed the spells. You had to perform them on an innocent, that way you know how it felt to harm and kill an innocent. The guilt you feel is natural, a dark wizard does not feel that, they powerful like God. It does not feel like that when you kill or harm something un-pure that deserved that. Now it's time to get to some of the more complicated spells."
Harry read, some of the spells could be useful, but most weren't except in a duel. Soon it was time for him to go to work.
A/N: I've been really busy this week/weekend. I didn't know how to do this chapter exactly, so I kept redoing a lot of it, I'm still not completely satisfied with it. I wanted to get some stuff out of the way, so I can get him to Hogwarts soon. The next chapter will basically be something that I wanted to do since I've never read anything like it before but will contain nothing of that much important, he'll start on his way to Hogwarts at the end of it.
About my pairings it defiantly won't be H/G and H/Hr. I've read so many of them, and I like neither pairing, so I've gotten to the point I won't even read them. Most of them are like "OMG, I just realized I love you." "I love you too" blah, I know not all of them are like that, but most of them are.
Hermione to me is way to annoying, and thinks she's always right, but is usually wrong. Ginny, from how I picture it, she'll probably look a lot like Harry's mother, to me that's border line incest. Plus she's essentially his sister.
