Chapter Three: The First Semester
The month of September past rather quickly for Harry and Hermione because of how hard they where working. Hermione had kept pushing Harry to work harder read more and practice more. Because of this Harry now held a spot at the top of his class right under Hermione. Ron had finally apologized to Hermione. Hermione had forgiven him but Ron did not hang round Harry or Hermione as often because the two where always working.
Harry had held Quidditch tryouts for two chasers. Harry had already given Ginny one of the chasers spot the other two chasers where Demelza Robins and Dean Thomas. Harry held practice three times a week Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Harry and Hermione had grown much closer due to Legilimency practice. The two had witness most of each others life. Hermione got to see the years of abuse from the Dursleys. Both Harry and Hermione learned that the other never had any friends before Hogwarts and they where both bullied and picked on. Hermione got to witness the rebirth of Lord Voldemort. The detentions with Professor Umbridge and Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape. She also got to see the death of Sirius as he fell trough the veil and she saw the meeting between Professor Dumbledore and Snape where the plot to kill him.
As the month of September past people where wondering if Harry and Hermione where going out with each other. Harry and Hermione had gotten very good at casting the Legilimens spell. They could easily search threw each other minds for anything. In the last week of September they learned how to misguide and control what the Legilimens saw. By the end of the month Harry and Hermione where able to enter each other minds with out casting the Legilimens spell. The chamber was now spotless and looking like new. Harry and Hermione had harvest the Basilisk. The Basilisk parts where put a way in transfigured cupboards.
On the third night of October Harry and Hermione where down in the Chamber of Secrets. Hermione put her school bag on the table and brought out two large rocks and set them on the floor of the chamber. Hermione pulled out her wand and started to flick her wand over and over. The larger of the two rocks transformed in to the shape of a human with white skin color.
With each flick of Hermiones wand the Human shape became more and more realistic looking. With another flick the second rock melted in to the manikin and then Hermione bent down and started to carve runes on the manikin for about two minutes. Then Hermione got up and gave her wand a few more flicks and the manikin was clothed.
Hermione finally turned to Harry and said "This here is a modified version of a healer's practice manikin. I made this so we can practice the spells that are in this book." Hermione pulled out a book titled "The Pure Black Arts of Magical Warfare" Harry gaped when he read the title of the book. Hermione said "Yes I know the spells in this book are very dark and deadly. But I think you may need to know these spells in order to survive a fight with Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters."
Harry just nodded his head weakly. Hermione went on "The manikin is easily fixed or healed with two taps on his head with a wand. But we are going to be learning healing magic also and we will try and heal him only using healing charms. But with how nasty some of the curses and hexes are that will not always be possible. When flashing black he is considered dead."
Hermione opened the black arts book and flipped threw a few pages and said "Yes I found the cruse we will be learning tonight. The curse we will be learning is called Adflicto Ossis which allows the caster to visualize any one or more bones and visualize how many and where the bone or bones break or breaks at. This cruse is very painful and can used in battle and for interrogations or for punishment. The incantation is Adflicto Ossis."
Hermione walked over to the manikin and tap her wand on its head and the manikin stood up. Hermione walked four paces from the manikin and said in a clear voice "Adflicto Ossis" a yellowish light left Hermiones wand and hit the manikins left arm. The manikin screamed for few a seconds. Hermione walked over to the manikin and held her wand over the left forearm. Suddenly Harry and Hermione could see there were three breaks in the manikins left arm.
Harry looked a bit pale, Hermione called him over and said "Just visualize the right forearm with three breaks and then say the incantation Adflicto Ossis." Harry nodded weakly and Hermione stepped out of the way. Harry got out his wand and pictured the manikin right forearm being broken in three places and said "Adflicto Ossis" a yellow light hit the manikin's right arm. The manikin screamed for a few seconds. Hermione check the manikin's right arm to find the forearm arm broken in three places.
Harry felt a bit sick after he cast that spell. Hermione then showed Harry how to cast a bone mending charm. It took Hermione four tries to mend the manikins left arm. It took Harry eleven tries to completely heal the right arm. Harry and Hermione spent the next hour and a half breaking and healing the manikin bones in many different places. Harry and Hermione had gotten very proficient at casting the Adflicto Ossis cruse and healing the bones to the point they could do it silently.
Hermione then cast a cleansing charm on herself and Harry three times. So no one would be able to tell they had done any dark arts. Then Harry and Hermione practiced the Legilimens spell on each other. At first trying to cast the spell in new ways, later trying to block the other while the caster tried to push there way in. Then trying to mislead the one that was casting Legilimens while the Legilimens tried retain control of what they where seeing.
Over the following few weeks Harry was beating Hermione by leaps and bounds in learning new cruses and hexes. Harry suggested that they duel each other for at lease twenty's minutes a night. Harry almost always won the duels. Hermione had gotten very good at healing charms. Harry could heal cuts and bruises and mend bones while Hermione was learning life saving spells.
Harry also did some research to find out what the differences between black and dark magic was. Harry found that there was no difference at all. There where a few so called black spell or soul magic such as the killing cruse where a person used a small amount of there life force coupled with a large amount of magic. Who ever wrote the black arts book had a bit of an ego problem and named it the "The Pure Black Arts of Magical Warfare" which was simply a dark arts book.
Hermione had given Harry a book that was made of snake skin which was written in Parseltongue. Harry had not had a chance to read the book until that Sunday afternoon. Harry and Hermione where sitting out by the lake. Harry decided to read the book written in Parseltongue, Harry opened the book and flipped threw a few pages. Harry found that the book was written by Samuel Slytherin who spent the later part of his life researching the Viper Order. Harry start to read the introduction
In this book you will learn the truth about the Viper Order. The Viper Order has been thought of as a group of evil witches and wizards this rumor is not true. The Viper Order is actually a light organization who used very dark methods to achieve its goals. The Viper Order was the unofficial police and military organization who enforced the rules they believed in by very brutal methods of ancient Egypt and the surrounding areas. The Viper Order where the first to start a separate community's for Witches and Wizards and all other magical beings away from Muggles.
The Viper Order believed that magic was a gift and was to be treated with reverence; they also believed that all magical being should be treated with total respect. The Viper Order wanted to live peacefully with Elves, Goblins, Giants, Werewolves and Centaurs. At the time this indeed was the case. The Order also believed that magic should never be used to hurt an innocent.
But do not think that the Viper Order was a totally light society. The Order was ruthless to there enemies. You would never want to be taken alive by the order because you would be mind raped and tortured as punishment then be killed by being placed in a coffin and would be eaten alive by scarab beetles or if the prisoner was lucky they would be used as a sacrifices in a ritual.
The Viper Order would defeat evil warlords by capturing a few of the warlords servants and mind raping there minds for all the information they had. Then they would go after and capturer more of the warlord servants until the warlord had no one serving or helping them. Then the Viper Order would go after the warlord. The Order had defeated many warlords using this tack of dived and conquer.
The Viper Order has one main leader who is called the Head Priest. The Head Priest was always a natural Parseltongue. The Head Priest was in charge of setting and completing the Orders goals. When a new member took the oath of fidelity to the Viper Order the Head Priest would perform a ritual on the new member giving the new member the ability to speak Parseltongue. The Head Priest mate or wife would be known as the Head Priestess who was second in command. She was in charge of maintaining the tomb of knowledge and all prisoners.
All new members of the Order where called a apprentice until they where considered capable mages then they would given the title of Mage, when a mage became a expert in one or more fields of magic they would get the title of Priest or Priestess and if a priest or priestess mastered one or more fields of magic they would get the title of High Priest or High Priestess. But beyond what was written above I found very little about how the Order was ran or what kind of chain of command the Order had. Also little is known about what was considered a capable mage was or an expert and master was.
The members of the Order had a way of transforming there wands into a powerful magical weapon. The males could turn there wands in to swords which could cut threw most anything. Magic could still be cast in sword form very easily. The females would turn there wands in to a golden whip. Spells could be cast very quickly in the whip form. When the wand was in whip form it was a very powerful instrument of torture.
When one was hit with the whip it would cut threw the back leaving a magic residue when the whip was drawn back the wound would heal up. The magic residue would generate pain beyond imagination it also made it where one could not pass out or go insane from the pain of being whipped, making the magical whip a very powerful weapon and implement of torture. My research shows that the women in the Viper Order did most of the torturing of prisoners.
The first half of this book will go over the different wars the Viper Order has fought. The second half of the book will go over what the Tomb of Knowledge is and where it is located and what I have learned from the Tomb of Knowledge. My views on the Wizarding world have changed since I finished learning about this noble Order.
While Harry was reading the Parseltongue book Hermione was reviewing her notes on the research she had started in blood based wards, magical blocks and mind links. Hermione found the mind arts book had the answer of how to break the mind link between Harry and Voldemort that Professor Snape had spent the last year forming. Hermione found the answer in the mind arts book in the section about magical bonds.
If a soul mate bonding ritual was done all other magical and mind links would be severed. Harry would still have a soul bond with Voldemort but if Harry or Voldemort died the other would not follow. Hopefully this would make Professor Dumbledore rethink his plans. Hermione had to find someone that Harry would be willing to bond with.
Hermione thoughts moved on to what she had found out about blood based wards and magical blocks. She found that there was an entire branch of magic call Blood Alchemy which was any magic that was base mainly on blood or blood ties. She found that wards that where base off of blood where very powerful. Blood Wards are also considered a type of soul magic. When a person's blood is used in any form of magic there very soul and life force is used to help power the magic.
After a lot of researching Hermione thought that she figured out how Professor Dumbledore put up the blood wards on Privet Drive using Harry's mothers sacrifice to power the wards threw Petunia and Dudley. Harry could not have helped powered the wards because the wards have been creating a magical block on Harrys power for the last fifteen years. Half of Lily's life force was used to protect Harry and Privet Drive while the other half suppressed his power. The way Professor Dumbledore had designed the wards and the way they suppressed Harry's power was ingenious.
Hermione so far only found two ways to break the magical block on Harry's power. One was by either Professor Dumbledore willing to dismantle the blood wards or by first killing Harrys Aunt Petunia and his Cousin Dudley then performing a full magical cleansing ritual which would destroy any enchantments placed on him which would include the magical block. The cleansing ritual would not work until Petunia and Dudley where dead because Harry's mothers remaining life force would stop the ritual from working.
Hermione decided to do some more research on the topic to see if she could find another way to break the block. But if there was no other way she was prepared to kill off the Dursley family. The way that family treated Harry was despicable and death would not be too harsh for there crimes they committed against her friend. One thing that struck her hard was the fact that Harry was still a powerful wizard even with his magic having a block on it. She wondered how powerful he really was.
Harry had stopped reading his book and looked up at Hermione and said "Hermione I want to restart the Viper Order. I like the idea of all the magical races working together. The Ministry with its bigotry has been a large part of the reason Lord Voldemort was able to come to power in the first place." Hermione looked up from her notices and blinked a few times and then smiled. Hermione said "Tell me what the Viper Order is about." Harry launched in to a five minute explanation of what the Order was and why he wanted to restart it here in England. After Harry's explanation Hermione said "The first thing you should do is finish reading that book before you start making any plans." Harry nodded his head in agreement and went back to reading the book.
The month of October past quickly there was a Hogsmeade visit on Halloween. Harry and Hermione where being to fall in love with each other. Harry had decided to ask Hermione to be his date for Hogsmeade. Ron ended up going with Lavender Brown and Ginny with Dean. Harry and Hermione had a good time together. That nights feast would have been great but a special edition of the Daily Prophet came out. Harry picked up the newspaper and saw a picture of a town burning with the dark mark high above the small town. Harry read the article
You Know Who strikes again.
You Know Who decided to have a Halloween celebration. Around three in the morning You Know Who and his Death Eaters and Dementors attacked and destroyed a small Muggle town. No one survived the massacre. Ministry Aurors found hundreds of people who soul where taken. Many others where raped and tortured and then they where killed. The Muggles are saying it was a terrorist attack from the Middle East. Minister Fudges says he has stepped up Auror recruitment and security. He says the Ministry has the situation under control.
Harry stopped reading the article and went back to slowly picking at his food. Since the Halloween attack everybody at Hogwarts seemed very subdued. Harry and Hermione had redoubled there efforts. In mid November Harry played and captained the first Quidditch game of the year. Harry and his team had worked very hard. The first game was against Slytherin. Gryffindor won the game ten to one hundred and fifty when Harry caught the snitch in less then a minute.
By the end of November Harry and Hermione could simply look the other in the eye and talk to each other in there mind and share memories with each other. They also started being able to tell how someone was feeling or if they where lying by looking a person in the eye. Harry was becoming very terrifying with how many dark spells he was learning. Harry could break a single bone hundreds of times with one spell. Peel off the skin of a person and was becoming a master of slashing cruses and many other really nasty spells. Harry had read most of the book about the Viper Order.
Harry learned about the Viper Orders many battles and wars. Harry had also read how to enchant Basilisk skin for a full body shield. One night Harry talk to Hermione about trying to enchant some Basilisk skin, Hermione agreed. Harry said "I think we should make Basilisk robes instead of a skirt. I don't fancy wearing a skirt." Hermione responded with "I think we should stick with the original design. Because one day we will have to start recruiting people to join the Order we don't want to run out of Basilisk skin and leave some members unprotected. Plus I think you would look sexy in a short skirt."
The two decided on using the Viper Order original designs and would make the Head Priest and Priestess uniforms for them self. They spent an hour a night working on the Basilisk skin. Harry was the only one that could enchant the skin since he was a Parseltongue. Harry thought by January he would have learned all the enchanting spells needed to complete his and Hermiones uniform.
This Christmas holiday he would be getting some gold Galleons from Gringotts so he could melt it down and make two amulets of a viper eating its own tail. He would have to enchant the amulets. When warn you could tap the amulet with your wand and your head would transform in to a Vipers head until you tapped the amulet with your wand again and your head would return back to normal.
Hermione had learned a lot of dark cruses and hexes. Her dueling skills had gotten better since they started to have nightly duels. Harry was also becoming an excellent dueler. As Hermione had gotten good at healing spells they started to use low level dark arts in there duels. Harry taught Hermione a more advance shield spell he found in the library which was much more powerful then the Protego spell. Hermione continued her research in blood wards.
On December second Hermione and Harry where down in the Chamber of Secrets late at night dueling. Hermione stop there dueling session early and motioned Harry over to the work table that was on the other side of the chamber. Harry and Hermione sat down at the table. Hermione spoke "Harry for the last three months I have been doing a lot of research. One of the things I researched about was how to break the connection you have with Voldemort."
Harry asked "What! You found a way to break the connection so I can live, live free of seeing him in visions." Hermione answered "Yes I found a way to break the magical link and mind link you have with Voldermort. There's nothing you can do about the soul link. You have to perform a soul mating ritual. The soul mate bonding ritual will break any links you have with others except a soul bond."
Harry asked "But I don't want to bond with just any girl, I am falling in love with you Hermione." Hermione suddenly hugged Harry and said "Since we started to learn Legilimency I got to see your life and you got to see mine. I fell we have grown very close. I have fallen in love with you. I want to spend my life with you. I would have normally liked to wait a few years before getting serous. But the link with Voldemort needs to be broken as soon as possible. Would you be willing to perform the soul bonding ritual with me Harry?"
Harry look Hermione in to her eyes and said "Yes Hermione I would love too. I too would have liked to wait like other normal teens but it seems I will never be normal." Harry then entered Hermiones mind and showed her how he felt about her. She gasped and she too sent how she felt about Harry. Harry could not believe that anyone would ever love him as just Harry not Harry Potter the boy who lived.
The next night Hermione and Harry where preparing for the soul mate bounding ritual. They had transfigured up a very nice and large bed. The ritual would make it where Harry and Hermione could communicate mentally with one another on opposites sides of the world. The ritual would also increase there magic power and the most important thing cutting two links he shared with Voldemort.
The two teens started to read over and memories the chant. The following night they would perform the ritual. The ritual was very simple. The two would enter each others mind say the chant out loud together. Then complete the ritual by having intercourse with each other. The next day past very slowly for the two teens, Harry held his Saturday Quidditch practice that day while Hermione spent the day in the Library the two both where thinking about what would happen that night.
That night Harry and Hermione snuck down to the Chamber of Secrets at midnight. Once down in the chamber the two teens slowly got undressed. Harry and Hermione had seen each other naked a few times in Legilimens practice. But this was the first time they actually saw the other naked with there own eyes. The two teens lay down on the bed. Harry got on top of Hermione and then the two teens locked eyes with each other and entered each others mind. Then together they start to slowly chant.
Ego accipio as mel
To nosco parties of mihi
To parties mi magmugen cun an
To parties mi animus cun an
To parties mi animus cun an
Nos parties ascio simper
As Harry and Hermione started to chant they could feel there magic stirring with in then. Then the two start to glow a whitish color. At the end of the chant the two started to glow even brighter yet. Harry then slowly pushed him self inside of Hermione slowly getting deeper and deeper inside of her. Once Harry pushed himself inside of Hermione as far as possible, the white light flashed even brighter yet. Harry and Hermione suddenly screamed they could feel the contention with Voldemort break apart. When the light faded Harry and Hermione fell back on the bed exhausted and fell right to sleep.
A few hours later Harry slowly woke up. Something was different, his scar. That its, he said to himself my scar there was no pain in his scar. His scar had always hurt a little since the rebirth of Voldemort. Harry figured that since there was only a soul connection to Voldemort his scar would only hurt when Voldemort was near by. Then Harry felt something strange he could feel that Hermione was waking up. Harry turned and looked at her and smiled.
Harry moved his thoughts over to Hermione. She smiled and kissed Harry. Hermione then pulled out her wand and cast a time spell and saw it was four in the morning and they needed to get back to Gryffindor tower and take off the sleeping charm of there dorm mates. The two quickly got dressed and headed back to there dorm room.
Over the next few days Harry and Hermione noticed some changes since the soul bonding. They found that they almost always where shearing there thoughts with each other over there link. There magic was now much stronger and they had better control over it. On the first night after the bonding Hermione found out she could understand Parseltongue. She then tried speaking Parseltongue and too her shock she was able to hissed out the word stairs in Parseltongue making the stairs down to the chamber appear.
Hermione then had Harry teach her the Parselmagic that Harry learned for enchanting the Basilisk skin. With there mind link Hermione quickly learned all Harry knew about Parselmagic. Hermione then started to help Harry in learning Parselmagic and would help make there uniform. Harry found that he was slowly absorbing Hermione vast wealth of knowledge.
Harry and Hermione found that there Legilimency skills where much stronger then before. They hoped that there Occlumency was stronger too. Harry had yet to face Professor Dumbledore Legilimens attack. Harry and Hermione kept accidentally reading there class mates thoughts and seeing there memories. One day Hermione was in a prefect meeting with Ron. Hermione look at Ron when Ron caught her eye. She and Harry where seeing a memory at Grimmauld place.
Ron was cleaning the drawing room by himself when Professor Dumbledore came in to the room. Dumbledore asked "Mr. Weasley I was hoping you could do me a favor?" Ron said "Yes Sir what do you need?" Dumbledore smiled and said "Ron I need you to help me keep an eye on Harry. If you see Harry doing anything unusual report it to me. Tell me if his scar hurts or has any vision and anything you think I need to know. If you agree to help me with this I can tell you that you will be surprised at who is chosen as fifth year male prefect for Gryffindor."
Ron quickly agreed and Professor Dumbledore left the room and Rons happily went back to cleaning the room. The memory ended and the prefects meeting came back to view. Hermione asked Harry threw there link if he saw Ron memory. Harry said "Yes I did, I can't believe Ron would be willing to spy on me over a freaking prefect's badge Harry and Hermione decided to distance them self from Ron slowly. They could not confront him because Dumbledore would wonder how Harry learned of Rons spying.
The last two weeks before winter holiday past rather quickly the Hogwarts grounds was covered in snow. Harrys grades had shot up even more since the bonding with Hermione. The two dueling at night became a pointless endeavor because they would was always know what the other was going to do before they did it. So Harry and Hermione started to focus on learning the rest of the spells in the black arts book.
Harry would be spending Christmas with the Weasleys. Hermione would spend the first half of the holidays with her parents and the other half with the Weasleys. Harry and Hermione where trying to figurer out how they would be able to sneak into London to get a few things from Gringotts and Knockturn Alley. Soon it was the day to take the train back to London. Harry thought that he and Hermione had come along way in achieving there goals but they had a long way to go. He wondered what the second term would bring.
