Linkin Park: My December ....................
Harry had received an owl from Draco informing him of the time of their next lesson and it included a reading list. "Necromancers Not Just Evil" "Necromantic Powers and Ideas" "So You Want to be a Necromancer" "Who Are Necromancers" He sat in the library reading the last book on the list: Who Are Necromancers. It was informative. He couldn't believe the Malfoy was a Necromancer or that HE was a Necromancer. He was reading to take his mind of his feelings. The requirement was to read one a weak and he had already read Necromancers Not Just Evil. The books 1st chapter went like this: Necromancers are capable of far, far more than raising the dead. Likewise, it takes more than a Book of Dark Bindings and a black robe to master the forbidden circle of magic. Who are the necromancers, then, and what do they do? I'm glad you asked.
Who are the Necromancers?
Tales of necromancers tend to follow a common theme: Master of the Undead performs some wicked deeds, Heroic Person sets out to thwart these deeds, Master of the Undead is either (variation 1) defeated by the Heroic Person or (variation 2) consumed by the very same dark powers that were invoked in the first place. While this sort of thing does tend to happen fairly often, stories like this provide very little insight for those who may be considering a satisfying career path in the black arts. For the apprentice necromancers and those who wish to understand them, I have compiled some information, which may be useful. Incredible Necromantic Power: For anyone considering a journey on the road of darkness, it is worth noting that there are both great advantages and great disadvantages to be found along the way. Qualifications: Despite the near-universal appeal of raising an army of the undead to march across the face of Norrath and beat the cities of the weak into submission, only a few individuals have the characteristics necessary to reap the grim harvest. Racial Features: With necromancy being the supreme form of magic that it is, it should come as no surprise that only the most gifted races are capable of grasping its power. The Gods: Necromantic rituals must call upon powers of darkness if they are to success.
And What Do They Do?
The skills of the necromancer can be organized into five significant areas of involvement: physical combat, magical ability, adventuring, trades, and languages. Obviously, some of these skills are more important than others. An efficient necromancer can concentrate almost entirely on mystical skills, but a well-rounded skill set has a certain style. Spilling Blood: The combat skills of the necromancer are not particularly impressive, but never underestimate the potential of a well-placed dagger. Calling the Powers: Necromancy relies on the near-constant use of magical skills. Study is essential for mastery. Surviving in the Wild: Combat and dark rituals are all well and good, but there are a number of other miscellaneous abilities that the adventurous gnome will appreciate. Crafting a Trade: The necromancer need not spend every moment in life-or- death situations. There are many other worthwhile pursuits - hobbies, if you wish - which some find. appealing. Speaking in Tongues: Although the Common Tongue is well known across the entirety of Norrath, cultures both living and dead have used their own specialized languages. Necromancer Skills: The mages do have the special skill scribing. It is used to scribe spells from the spell book. To do so you need a blank piece of paper. Then you can copy a spell from a spell book to the paper obtaining a scroll. This skill will not improve (much) by practicing, instead you need to find teachers like Selik and let them teach you.

There were a few in there that sounded like they would be useful in battle against Voldemort. He closed the books and put them in his bag. Classes begun today. He didn't want to be late. He wrapped the invisibility cloak around him and snuck out of the library. It was probably about 5:00 in the morning.
He walked to the common room and noticed someone going into the Great Hall. He wasn't dressed in anything but some black pants and a white T-shirt. He noticed the person. There was only one person in the whole school with hair that color. He couldn't help himself. Even though he was less dressed than Malfoy was. He only had on gray sweat pants.
He snuck up behind him and whispered in his ear in a deadly voice that sounded nothing like his "And what would you be doing up at this hour of the night?"
"I could ask you the same thing Potter, but then again I know the answer to that. You can't sleep ever." He said in a knowing tone and just walked into the Great Hall.
Harry followed in while pulling off his cloak. That was where he was planning to go after he dressed anyway. He walked up to the Slytherin table and sat across from Draco. He wanted to talk to him about this Necromancy stuff.
"So what are you going to be teaching me next lesson?"
"With Professor Snape's help we're going to learn scripting." He replied in a bored voice.
"Snape? Why him. Oh is he a Selik?" Harry asked.
"Very good Potter. I see you've been reading. Nothing better to do I suppose?" He asked in a sarcastic tone but it was friendly. More like the voice a friend would tease another friend with.
"Well, I could fly like you, but I'm to tired." Harry replied in much the same way.
"So you've seen me then. I suppose you would." Draco stated. "It was you? Wow, I was just guessing because you have the same poise and grace on a broom as you do on the ground." Harry replied.
"Well I never noticed." Draco said looking at him in a weird way. "What the deal? You're being nice to me."
"Why should I not be? I don't really have a problem with you, your dad maybe, but not you." Harry explained.
"My father? Potter watch who you make enemies with." Draco rose and walked over to him and whispered in his ear "He's worse than Voldemort, nice outfit by the way." And then he walked out.
What was that about? Harry shivered. Malfoy was starting to get to him. Why did he always have to be so mysterious and how did he know I couldn't sleep? Is that actually Voldemorts new plan? Kill me by lack of sleep? Harry walked back to the common room in thought. He went in, dressed then went back and ate. His first class was Potions with Snape and Malfoy. He sighed as he mentally prepared himself for the verbal bashing he was about to receive.
He trudged to the potions classroom to make sure he wasn't late. He didn't needed to be yelled at for that either. Even though he prepared himself for the verbal and maybe even a little physical bashings he was about to receive he knew he would probably break down or snap in front of the whole class. Everything was piling on him all at once. He took a few calming breaths and entered the room.
"Ah, Mister Potter. You're on time! Wonders never cease." Snape stated in a silky voice.
Harry just nodded in a downtrodden way walked to his seat. He didn't even do anything wrong and Snape was already starting on him. He normally would have spat something back or became angry, but he didn't have the energy to do either. He just laid his head in his arms on the desk and tried not to think about anything at all. Then Snape spoke again.
"Not that I care Potter, but what's wrong with you?" Snape questioned in an annoyed tone.
"Nothing, you don't care anyway so just leave it at that." Harry replied and laid his head back down.
Even with the concealing spells the lack of sleep he was receiving was becoming obvious by his complexion. He was pale and he just looked tired. He felt like crying and he knew Snape was no where near done with him yet. He sighed. The students began to pour in. Part of his problem was he still missed Sirius and he knew he always would. It's just something you learn to live with. He was alone. He didn't even have his friends anymore because they never had time for him. They were a couple now. The class began, with Hermione sitting on one side of Harry and Ron on the other. He listened to the instructions and began to wearily create the potion. It was a Dreamless Sleep potion. Harry thought that this potion might actually come in handy. Class continued on until suddenly someone threw something in his cauldron and it started spurting the liquid everywhere.
The liquid was burning holes in everything it touched. Everyone ran, but it was too late for Harry. He was covered from head to toe in the liquid. He stood there as it ate at him, burning his skin. He was shocked. He didn't move or make a sound. His face was completely blank. Snape ran over to him and pointed his wand at him the robes flew off and his skin was revealed some what threw the holes in his clothes. Snape then used a cleaning spell to remove the rest from Harry's clothes.
Harry still didn't move. He didn't have the energy. That was it! The room began shaking, as his eyes grew dark. He felt all the life energy around him being sucked up. Snape backed away and ran out of the room closing the door behind him. Things began exploding. He had snapped. It was that simple. He then promptly passed out onto the cold floor. ..................
He woke up in the hospital wing. He was increadibly sore. What happened? Oh, It all rushed back to him. He wondered if Snape was all right. He knew that he had sucked some of his life force into him by accident. He looked over and was shocked to see Snape and Malfoy both sitting there in the chairs by his bed. He looked down and noticed he had no clothes on underneath the blanks of the hospital wing beds. His body was badly burned. Who threw what ever it was they threw into his cauldron and why? He looked over at them.
"I'm sorry professor, I guess I just snapped. Are you OK?" He asked in a worried tone.
"I'm fine Mr. Potter, however you are not so lucky. I don't know who threw in an Eye of the Talon Fish, but I assure you it must have been some miss- guided prank. You must learn to control you powers, so Draco and I are going to start teaching you now."
"Now?" Harry asked incredulously.
"Yes, now." Malfoy cut in.
He rose from his seat and walked over to him. He pulled out his energy orb and handed it to Harry.
"Ok, first you must know each strand. We're going to start from the beginning. This is the strand that controls memories and this controls emotions and this controls feelings."
It went on like that for hours till Harry knew them all from memory. He sighed. This was tidious and boring. He was tired. Harry looked at them with a tired expression. "I'm really tired now." Harry stated in a soft and strained voice.
"All right Mr. Potter you may sleep now." Snape replied.
"Would you like a Dreamless Sleep potion?" Draco asked.
"Yeah."
Snape went to his dungeons and came back with the potion. He gulped it down and fell into the first peaceful sleep he had in about three years. ................
AN: This one was a little longer. I'm going to start developing the plot and relationships a lot more now.
Till later days.
MagickBeing:Yes. I do need help just E-mail me. It should be in my profile. Thanks!
Kairi099: Thanks!
Kimmy15: Thanks!
Mordicai: Yes I was pretty sure I knew how to spell Gryffindor. I've got the flu though so I was to tired to go look it up. Thanks! It wouldn't be Harry Potter without the hard to spell names. I'm trying to update often till it's done but you know how life is sometimes!
Artemis1000: Me too. I wouldn't mind being taught from him.
Kelei: I'm trying, but longer chapters means longer wait. The fluff can't come until they at least like each other. I'm building the physical attraction right now though. It might not be to long. It just depends on my mood. Sorry.
My Slytherin Mind: Thanks! I luv your sn btw.

He looked down and noticed he had no clothes on underneath the blanks of the hospital wing beds. His body was badly burned. Who threw what ever it was they threw into his cauldron and why? He looked over at them.
"I'm sorry professor, I guess I just snapped. Are you OK?" He asked in a worried tone.
"I'm fine Mr. Potter, however you are not so lucky. I don't know who threw in an Eye of the Talon Fish, but I assure you it must have been some miss- guided prank. You must learn to control you powers, so Draco and I are going to start teaching you now."
"Now?" Harry asked incredulously.
"Yes, now." Malfoy cut in.
He rose from his seat and walked over to him. He pulled out his energy orb and handed it to Harry.
"Ok, first you must know each strand. We're going to start from the beginning. This is the strand that controls memories and this controls emotions and this controls feelings."
It went on like that for hours till Harry knew them all from memory. He sighed. This was tidious and boring. He was tired. Harry looked at them with a tired expression. "I'm really tired now." Harry stated in a soft and strained voice.
"All right Mr. Potter you may sleep now." Snape replied.
"Would you like a Dreamless Sleep potion?" Draco asked.
"Yeah."
Snape went to his dungeons and came back with the potion. He gulped it down and fell into the first peaceful sleep he had in about three years. ................
AN: This one was a little longer. I'm going to start developing the plot and relationships a lot more now.
Till later days.
