Chapter 3- Nightly Visits
Harry and Hermione sat near the lake, talking. Hermione had been trying to leak information about Lilith for the past half hour they were there. Until Harry finally gave in.
"Ok, fine. What do you want to know?" he asked. The only reason that he had given in was because of her eyes. 'Eyes that could make me do anything.' He thought.
"What's her name?" She asked as she leaned in to listen.
"Lilith. And I'm meeting her tonight. She's going to help me." He said.
"Help you with what?" Hermione asked.
"With my change. I really don't know about that though, she forgot to tell me." He said.
"I'd like to meet her, it would be nice. I've only seen her." Hermione said then stood to leave.
"Wait for me!" Harry yelled as he ran after her.
********************
"10:58" Harry said while pacing the common room that he and Hermione shared.
"Calm down will you?" Hermione said as she went back to her book. "Eleven will get here, no matter what, so don't worry."
Harry, sat down, and waited the long agonizing two minuets. He suddenly felt a pull. He fell forward and landed on a soft black rug. That pull reminded him that he hated portkeys. He looked around the room. And he saw that it was the same place that he was in before, but cleaner. All the dust was gone and he could see the colors of all the furniture better. It was the first time he noticed that everything was black. The only light that was there, were a few candles. There were books that lined along all of the walls of the store. He stood up and saw a couple of doors that led to other rooms. He looked around again, letting the size of the bookstore sink in. It was huge. On the outside it seemed like a small store, but on the inside it was almost as large as the Hogwarts library.
"Hermione would love this place," he said to himself.
"Really?" Lilith said appearing from the shadows.
Her surprise made him scream.
"Sorry, you were a little lost there." She told him.
"Yeah, it's just Hermione, she's a major bookworm. Loves to read." Harry said, taking another look around the room. "This is the same place as yesterday, right?"
"Yes, I just cleaned it up. After all, it's just gonna get messier." She said. "Now how about we start, huh?" She said smiling.
"Alright." Harry said.
Lilith went over to one of the doors and entered the room. She walked in and called Harry to follow. It happened to stairs. They traveled down the long flight of stairs, obviously under ground. They reached a door and went through it.
"I think that for today, I'll just show you around." She said as she flicked on the lights. They were dim, barley enough for anyone with average sight.
"It doesn't look like there's much... to...show." Harry said each word lower than the word before.
He looked around. He saw weapons of ALL kinds. Guns, swords, knives, daggers, explosives, and grenades. And every weapon had a section with many different kinds of each. Harry looked dumbstruck. 'How could all this be hidden under an innocent looking bookshop?' Harry thought. He just stood there looking at everything.
"If you think this is something, maybe I'll just wait to show you the training area. I don't think you would be able to keep your mouth closed." She said smirking.
"You have a training area?" Harry said astonished.
"Well, yes. I train when I get bored. But I think I'm a little rusty. I haven't done this in oh... nineteen years. Whatever, I'll just try it out later. Sticking back to the subject, you'll have a weapon of choice. Mine, is this one." She said walking over to a large plastic case, sitting on a stand. In it, was a large sword, the hilt was red with black strings. The sheath was a swirls of blood red and black. . "This is a Japanese Katana. Beautiful, isn't it?" She asked Harry. He started to walk to her, but stopped when she picked it up. "Not to worry, I'm not gonna kill you. Or take a swing at you, at least not yet." She said with a smile.
She looked at Harry and saw the look of sheer horror on his face. At this, she burst out in laughter. Harry just strangely looked at her.
"What?" He asked.
"You should have seen your face. It was hilarious!" She said and burst out giggling.
"Hey, I thought you were supposed to be really mean and all that crap." Harry said.
Instantaneously she stopped laughing and gave him a glare that could kill. "Look, I don't like it when kids curse, so if you don't mind don't use foul language in front of me unless you stub your toe." She said.
"Stub my toe? Why that? And I'm not a kid." He asked her confused.
"Because it'll happen a lot in this place." She said ignoring his comment. "Back to the main track, you need to pick an appropriate weapon. I'll help you with it. Of course, you can pick other ones that you can learn too. But try and stick to the one you like the most. Pick one." She said pushing him a little.
He walked around a bit, looking at each one. He looked at all of them, at least the ones that could be used in battle. He was most interested in the swords. 'But which one?' He thought. There were so many of them. He saw one in the far corner. He walked up to it. He instantly fell in love with it. It was the same one as Lilith's, except that the hilt was dark green with black stings. The sheath was a marble of green and black.
"Like it?" Lilith said as she appeared next to him.
"Yeah, it's like yours, isn't it?" he asked.
"Yes, it's a replica of mine. Except in different colors. It used to belong to a friend of mine. And no, she wasn't a vampire. She was a witch. I knew her for a very, very long time. She was like another little sister to me. She said she liked it because it matched her eyes. And you know what?" She asked Harry.
"What?" He said.
"It matches your eyes, well at least for now."
"What do you mean for now?" He asked her.
"When you change, your teeth and eyes change. The teeth grow longer and sharper. While your eyes change to a deep red. But don't worry, you'll be able to transfigure them into whatever you want. Though it's more comfortable in your natural form." She paused, "You keep that." She said motioning towards the sword. "Lets head toward the training area." She said as she walked through another door, passed a table that had a few guns on show.
Harry walked passed it and stubbed his toe.
"Shit!" He said as he started hopping lopsidedly. Trying to keep hold of the sword.
"Point proven!" Lilith said from the other room.
"Yeah, yeah," He said as he carefully followed her.
He stepped into the room and was again amazed. It was huge. The ceiling was way up high. Yet every thing was rusty. The room looked old and abandoned. It looked very empty. His look of amazement cleared his face replaced by a look of confusion.
"There's nothing in here," Harry said.
"Yeah, well, that's how it looks like without it trying to kill you." She said. Harry looked at her.
"Are you serious?" Harry asked her.
She cringed at the word but spoke her answer. "Yes, though the routine is quite hard. But don't worry, it's not actually going to kill you. You'll come quite close to it, but not actual death. You just have to train hard. That's where I'll help you."
"Okay," Harry said.
Lilith showed him around some more. She showed him his room, the kitchen, and the 'relaxing' area. They stayed there for a while talking. She explained the change. She told him that it would hurt the first feeding, then tire him. But after that, it would help him, make him stronger. They soon found themselves back to where they started.
"I really can't believe all this is under an innocent bookshop. It's truly amazing." Harry said.
"Yeah, well I keep it well hidden." She said nervously.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Harry asked, noticing the worry in her voice.
"It's just that... well, your change should take place tomorrow. I don't know when. And I can't keep you here all day. I really don't want you hurting anyone but me." She said.
"Hurting anyone? Why would I do that?" Harry asked her.
"When you first change, you kind of get a little out of control. And start hurting anyone until you get what you need. Blood, it's what your goal will be. You might end up doing this. I don't want anyone but me hurt in this." She said.
"Why are you going to get hurt?" Harry asked.
"Because I'm going to stop you. And you ask too many questions. We need to figure something out." Lilith said pacing the room.
"How about you come with me? Cause your right, I wouldn't be able to spend a single minuet out of Hogwarts." Harry suggested.
"I really don't think... Hey wait, that's a very good idea!" She said and turned towards Harry. "Do you like snakes?" She asked.
"Yeah, I do. For more that one reason, but yeah. Why?"
"Well, how about a pet snake?" She said smiling.
"That would be cool, but what's the point?" Harry asked.
Lilith sighed in annoyance. "How would you like a pet snake named Lilith?" She said and transformed into a small snake. Small but very deadly. She had red, black, yellow and orange stripes.
"Wow, you're an animagi," Harry said to himself.
*Yeah, the only problem will be communication* Lilith said, not knowing that Harry understood her.
*Actually, that will be quite easy* Harry said back to her.
*Holy shit! You're a Parslemouth!* Lilith said surprised.
*You said you didn't like to curse* Harry shot back at her.
*I specifically said that I don't like it when kids curse, and I'm not a kid*
*Well neither am I* Harry said defensively.
*Whatever, lets just get back. Okay?*
*Fine, what do I do?*
*Just hold the ring and me and say 'Take me to where I came' and we'll get to where ever you popped in from. Got it?*
*Sounds easy enough* Harry told her. He went over to her and picked Lilith up. She wrapped herself around his arm. In his other hand, he held the sword.
"Take me to where I came," Harry said. Then the both felt a sudden pull, and landed on a soft red rug.
Harry noticed the clock that had tortured him a while ago, and saw that it was 2:30. Hermione had long since left for bed. Harry, with Lilith wrapped around his arm, walked to his room. He placed the sword on the foot of his bed and placed Lilith down on the couch. She quickly transformed to herself again. She stood up and walked to Harry's bed.
"Nice room," She said as she looked around.
"I'm going to change, you make yourself comfortable and whatever. I'll be right back." Harry said and then walked into the bathroom.
Lilith looked around the room. She transfigured a small button that was lying around, into a sword stand. She picked up his sword, and placed it on it. She remembered that one time that she had used her sword against that one.
_-_-_-_-_-_
"C'mon, you can beat me. You're the only one that has ever tied with me. I guess I taught you well."
"Yes, well. If teaching me since I was nine helps, then yeah. Especially since I'm seventeen now."
"Especially if you were born with the talent."
"Lilith Night, I was not born with any talent. You taught me everything."
"Lily Evans, it's true I taught you. But it takes years to learn this. Many years."
"Lets not get into this again, lets just fight. Okay?"
"Yeah,"
CLANG
CLANG
CLANG
"Tie again,"
"Yes, how about another go?"
"Good idea,"
_-_-_-_-_-_
Lilith put the sword down, and sat on Harry's bed. 'I hope you're living a full life, Lily.' Lilith thought as Harry walked into the room.
"Well, I'll just sleep on the couch." She told him.
"Alright," Harry said. He went to closet and threw her some sheets and a pillow. "Here." He said.
"Thanks," she said as she walked to the couch and made herself comfortable.
Harry walked to his bed and fell asleep instantly. Lilith stayed awake a while, just thinking. She soon fell asleep, but she knew she would just awake the second the sun rose. She had been used to it for nineteen years.
