Chapter Four: Plans Set in Motion

After a long train ride all the teens, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna gather upped there stuff and there pets and got off the train. Harry followed Ron and Ginny up to Mrs. Weasley. Mrs. Weasley gave the three teens each a huge hug. Harry could tell that Hermione had found her parents and they where in a hurry to pick up Hermiones Grandma from the air port. Harry told Hermione threw there link "I love you Hermione I will talk to you tonight threw the link." Hermione replied "I love you too Harry talk to you later.

Harry, Ron and Ginny followed Mrs. Weasley to a Ministry car. On the way to the Leakey Cauldron Mrs. Weasley told the three teens that they had an hour to do any last minute Christmas shopping that they needed to get done. Harry was happy about this he could get the extra money needed for Harry and Hermiones up coming shopping trip and some gold coins for making the Amulets and finish his Christmas shopping.

While down in the vaults Harry asked are there any laws against melting down Galleons for making jewelry. The Goblin shook his head and said "Gold is gold no matter what form it is in. It is a very common practice." Five minutes later Harry was back on the surface going to a few stores. Harry bought Hermione a very fancy set of blank books for her to write her research down. He had also bought her a very nice silver bracelet. He got Ron some new chess peaces and Ginny new Quidditch gloves. About a half a hour later Harry was back in The Leakey Cauldron and was getting ready to floo back to the Burrow.

A few hours later Harry, Ron, Ginny and Mrs. Weasley where having an excellent dinner. Mr. Weasley still had not come home from work at the Ministry. Mrs. Weasley said "He is terribly busy with You Know Who about and all." At night Harry was reading one of the books that Hermione recommended to him. That night Harry started to read a book about using transfigurations in duels. Harry found the book to be very interesting. He remembered the duel with Dumbledore against Voldemort. Dumbledore was able to animate the statues to do his bidding. At one in the morning Harry wished Hermione a good night threw there link before going to bed.

The days before Christmas Harry mainly hung out with Ginny. The only time Harry hung out with Ron was when he wanted to play a game of chess. Ginny noticed that Harry was no longer very close to Ron and asked why. Harry said "After what happened last year I wanted to learn everything I could about magic from Hogwarts. Hermione has been helping me and working me very hard. Ron does not like school work so we don't hang out as much." Ginny said "I know there's more to it then that. But I will let the subject drop.

The day of Christmas was a lot of fun for everyone. Ron and Ginny loved there Christmas gifts that Harry gave them. The whole Weasley family was together. Bill came with Fleur, Charley and the twins came over for the day. Percy was still not talking to the family. It was the first time Harry really got to see Mr. Weasley that holiday. Mrs. Weasley made a huge Christmas dinner which Harry loved very much. After dinner Harry pulled the twins aside and asked "Would it be possible for the two of you in to talking your mom in to letting me and Hermione help you two out for a day at your shop?"

The Twins looked at each other and Fred said "I think we may be able to do that." George said "We are guessing you two need some supplies that are either against the rules" Fred picked up "or better yet the law." George said "We will see what we can do." Harry thanked the twins for there help. Soon Christmas day had past and it would be the day that Hermione would be coming over to the Burrow.

Hermione arrived at the Burrow two days after Christmas she had taken the Night Bus to get there. Once Hermione put her stuff in Percy's old room, Harry gave Hermione her Christmas gifts. Hermione liked the blank book set and absolutely loved the silver bracelet she put in on and kissed Harry on his lips. Harry was glad he had finally given Hermione her gift because it was hard to hide anything from her because of there link to each other. Hermione handed Harry a small rapped box. Harry opened it to find a very nice magical watch. Harry thanked Hermione with another kiss on the lips.

Hermione had Harry and Ginny finish there holiday homework. Later that night Harry planned to sneak down to Hermiones room to talk about there plan trip to Knockturn alley. At eleven a clock Harry snuck down to Hermiones room. The two kissed each other for over five minutes before they broke apart and got down to business. Hermione pulled out a sheet of parchment and the ritual notebook.

Harry then saw what Hermione was thinking about. Hermione was planning on how to kill the Dursleys so he could break the block on his magic. Harry said "Hermione I don't think this is a good idea. They are the only family I ever had." Hermione quickly turned and look at Harry and yelled in his mind "A family does not lock another member of its family in a cup board or abuse and use another member as slave labor. It is either you or Voldemort and it is going to be you. We have to do what is necessary. Now since we will be killing the Dursleys we might as well make there deaths even more useful."

Hermione took out her quill and started to make a list of things needed for three different rituals. While Hermione was writing out the list she said in Harrys mind "Since we are soul mate bonded a ritual that either of us does will have the same effect on the other. That means we can do three rituals. I have already picked the three we are going to do. We will be doing a strengthening ritual, an improved reflexes ritual and an improved healing ritual. Does Dudley come home for Easter Holiday?" Harry responded "Yes he goes home for every holiday."

Hermione said "Perfect we will start working on a plan on how to make there deaths look like accident while still being able to use them in our rituals. We will also have to find you a new wand. A custom made wand would be preferable." The two stayed up till one in the morning planning then Harry went back to his room after getting a good night kiss and went to sleep.

The following day Fred and George talked Mrs. Weasley in to letting Harry and Hermione help them at there shop. Ron and Ginny wanted to go too. But luckily Mrs. Weasley said no she only wanted two at a time to go. At nine a clock in the morning after Harry and Hermione had breakfast they floo over to the twins shop.

The twins had the two stocking shelf's until they where ready to go get there stuff. At ten Harry and Hermione transfigured there robes to plain black with a hood that would hide there face. The first stop was The Apothecary to get all the ingredients they could for the rituals. The next stop was Knockturn Alley to get the ingredients they could not get in The Apothecary.

Harry and Hermione end up going in to two different shops to get the last of the needed ingredients for the rituals. The next stop was Borgin & Burkes to get a ritual dagger. The two teens walked inside of Borgins shop. Harry walked up to the counter where Mr. Borgin was standing. Hermione went and look threw the books that the shop had.

Harry said "I need a silver ritual dagger. Mr. Borgin tried to look Harry over but with Harrys hood up he could not see much. Borgin showed Harry over to a glass display case and he took out four daggers. Harry looked over the four daggers when he heard Hermione say in his mind "Get the dagger with the snake handle." Harry said "I will take this one." pointing to the snake handle dagger "I was wondering if you know anyone who could quietly make good custom wands."

Mr. Borgin said "Mr. Ollivanders makes good wands." Harry said "I will have to tell my friend Lucius he was wrong about you. He said you could help me find a wand that I could use to serve the cause." Borgin visibly paled and said "Yes I do know someone for ten Galleons I could tell you how to find him."

Harry said "Very well give me the total for this dagger and the information I need." Hermione handed Harry a book. Harry said "oh and this book." Mr. Borgin said "That will be eighty seven Galleons." Harry summoned the amount needed out of his bag and said "The information better be correct or I will be informing my friend that you lied to me."

Mr. Borgin said "Go to the pub that is down the alley a ways that is called The Dirty Hag and tell the barkeeper that you need to see the old man. You will get what you need there. Now then have a good day." Hermione picked up the dagger and her book and placed them in her bag. The two teens left Borgin shop and walked down the dirty alley until they found the pub.

The pub was the dirtiest and smelliest place they had ever seen or been in. Harry and Hermione walked up to the barkeep and said "We need to see the old man." The barkeeper asked "who?" Harry took out four Galleons and said "We need to see the old man." The barkeeper took the coins and led the two teens down to the basement of the pub.

The barkeep tap a dark red brick with his wand and a door way appeared. The barkeep gestured them in. Once the two walk threw the opening the brick wall reappeared. Harry and Hermione quickly took out there wands. A very old man asked "What is it you need from me?" Harry stepped forward and said "We both need new custom made wands and we where told you are the best man for the job."

The old man said "Well it is going to cost you and cost you a lot. Will you two be able to pay?" Hermione stepped forward and said "We will be able to pay. But do you have any high grade Mithreal?" The old man said "I may but you can't afford it." Hermione took out a very small vial and showed it to the old man and asked "Do you know what this is? This is six drops of pure Basilisk venom."

The old man asked to see the vial and cast a few spells on it and said "Very well then, come on let's pick your cores and get a few drops of your blood." As the old man was laying out magical parts of different magical animals, Hermione pulled out two long vials which had a long peace of a Basilisk heart string in both vials.

When the old man turned and saw what Hermione had in her hand. The old mans eyes went wide and ask "Is that what I think it is?" Hermione just nodded and said "this is to be used in our wands and what ever is left you can keep if you give us a wizards oath that you will destroy our blood when you are done using it to make our wands and that you will tell no one that we where ever here and that you will not cheat us in anyway and finally you make our wands as quickly as you can and do your very best."

The old man quickly agreed and took out his wand and said the oath then the old man had Harry and Hermione pick another core. Harry and Hermione picked Phoenix ashes for there second core. Harry and Hermione gave the man seven drops of there blood. The old man said "This will be the two most powerful wands I ever made. I should have them done in let say four days." Hermione said "You will get the Basilisk venom when we come back to get our wands. The old man agreed and told them to leave he had a lot of work to do.

Harry and Hermione quickly made there way back to the twins shop. The two helped the twins for the rest of the day with there shop. The twins agreed to talk there mom in to letting Harry and Hermione come back and help in five days so they could get there mystery pickup as the twins put it.

At five Harry and Hermione flooed back to the Burrow. Hermione went up to her room and lock the bag of supplies in her trunk. Later that night around eleven Harry snuck up to Hermiones room. After a long snog Hermione showed Harry the book she got at Borgins. The book had a simple title "Invisibility" which was about how to turn invisible with out a wand or invisibility cloak.

Hermione said "At night in the chamber we will start learning how to turn our self's invisible. We also need to learn how to change, remove and add memory's with Legilimency. Ron will be our test subject that will be one of the ways he will make up for his spying on you. I am so mad at Ron, you Harry totally deserved to be a prefect over Ron and you might not been a stickler on the rules but would have actually done your job as a prefect unlike Ron.

Harry and Hermione reread the section in the mind arts book about modifying memories and once finished reading the section they discussed how they would practice on Ron, how they would change, add and remove memories. Around one in the morning Harry got a good night kiss from Hermione and headed back to his room and went to sleep.

Starting the next day Harry and Hermione would sneak in to Rons mind and they would try and implant a faults memory. They did not have much luck that day Rons mind kept rejecting the faults memory. The next five days past quickly Ron and Ginny worked at Fred and Georges shop two days after Harry and Hermione. Fred and George talked Mrs. Weasley in to letting Harry and Hermione help them out again.

Harry and Hermione went in at nine a clock and worked for an hour before sneaking off again in transfigured robes. Harry and Hermione quickly made there way to Knockturn Alley and to the Dirty Hags pub. Harry paid the barkeeper five galleons and barkeeper took the two teens down to the old mans shop. The old man smiled when he saw the two cloaked figures. The old man asked do you have the venom?"

Hermione said "Yes I do, do you have our wands made yet?" The old man gave Harry and Hermione a long square box. Hermione handed the old man the vial of Basilisk venom. Harry and Hermione slid open the box to find a beautiful looking wand. The wand was made out of the greenish metal call Mithreal.

Harry grabbed the wand and felt his whole body fill up with energy, golden sparks shot out of the wand and an invisible wind whipped up his robes. Hermione grabbed her wand and silver sparks shot out of her wand. The two teens smiled and Harry said "I will leave forty galleons here. If someone tells you that they are from the viper nest please make them the best wand you can for them. The old man agreed and Harry and Hermione put there new wands back in there box and then put them in to Hermione bag. The two teens walked back out of Knockturn Alley and in to the clean Diagon Alley.

Hermione wanted to make one more stop before heading back to the twins joke shop. Hermione led Harry to the junk shop and walked up to the store keeper and asked "Do you have any practice orbs. The store keeper led Hermione down an aisle and pointed to a wooden box. Hermione opened the box and cast a spell with her old wand on the orbs. Then she said "I will take them." The store keeper said they will cost you a hundred and fifty galleons. Harry took out his wand and summoned the needed galleons. Harry saw he was now down to a few hundred galleons. Hermione shrunk the large box and put it in her bag.

Harry and Hermione walked back to Fred and George's joke shop. The two teens helped them out until two a clock when they flooed back to the Burrow. The last few days of holiday break had past quickly. Harry and Hermione had finally been able to plant a fake memory in Rons mind. Soon Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny where heading back to Hogwarts threw the floo that the Ministry had setup for safety reasons.

That night at around eleven a clock, Harry and Hermione snuck down to Moaning Myrtles bathroom where they got to listen to Myrtle wined about how terrible her Christmas was. After Harry and Hermione listen to Myrtle wine for ten minutes they went down in to the Chamber of Secrets. The two spent twenty minutes trying out there new wands. Then Hermione got her bag and brought out the wooden chest of practice orbs.

Hermione said "These orbs are used by Aurors for dueling practice against multiple opponents. Hermione took out two orbs and said "activate" the orbs rose up in the air and then turned into a holographic of a man wearing black robes. The two men shot spells at Hermione who would either dodge or put a shield to block the on coming spell until a minute later Hermione said "Stop" and the men turned back in to small balls that slowly fell back on to the floor.

Harry and Hermione spent a half hour dueling the two small orbs. Harry loved the orbs Hermione picked up. Harry wanted to fight the orbs daily. Harry and Hermione moved on to learning to turn them self's invisible. For such a long book all you had to do was focus on was being completely see threw. This was easier said then done. Harry and Hermione would go in to a meditate state and then try and focus on making there magic turn them see threw.

The two spent a half hour on invisibility practice. Harry and Hermione then started to work on there Viper uniform. Harry and Hermione had mastered the enchantments needed to make there uniform. Hermione used her Arithmancy knowledge and over Christmas break made a modification to the enchantments used on the uniforms. The modification made it where no matter what the temperature was. The person wearing the uniform would feel the temperature at seventy degrees. There could be snow on the ground and if you where wearing the very revealing Viper uniform you would feel warm.

That night the two teens carefully laid out and cut the Basilisk skin to size and proper shape. They then used a binding charm to sew there uniform together. Then they had to carefully cut the backless part out. There was to be a snake design in the back. The snake started at the bottom of the back and the head was connected to the strap that would go behind the neck. The pattern was very difficult because they had to also cut out hundreds of little squares that would represent the snake scales.

By one in the morning they finished the snake patter of the back of the uniform. The next few nights would be spent enchanting the uniform. The two teens went back to there dorm room around one in the morning. On the first morning back there was a notice for Apparition lesson that where given by the Ministry for twelve galleons. Harry and Hermione signed up for them. The lesson would start at the end of the week.

Harry and Hermione quickly got back to the flow of school and classes. Harry and Hermione where working on modifying one of Rons memories when ever they got a chance to try. By Friday Harry and Hermione finished enchanting there Viper uniform. That Saturday night they would be trying them on. At one in the afternoon on Saturday they had there first apparition lesson from the Ministry.

The only exciting thing that happened in the apparition lesson was Susan Bones Splinching her self nothing else exciting happened in class. The rest of the day past quickly and soon it was time to go down to the chamber. Once Harry and Hermione where in the chamber they started to duel with the practice orbs for a half hour, and then they worked on invisibility for another half hour. Harry was able to turn him self invisible for about a minute until he lost focus. Hermione was able to do it for about thirty seconds.

Finally it was time to try on there new uniform. Harry complained "Hermione this look like a girls dress. Men don't wear things like this." Hermione said "Oh hush up Harry and get changed." Harry and Hermione got undressed and they slip the uniform over there head and put it on.

Harry found the uniform to be very comfortable and was able to move very easily in the uniform. Then Harry felt the snake moving on his back. Harry looked at Hermione to see what she look like in the uniform. The straps in the front went from being four inch wide to a half a inch around the shoulders. The straps scarcely covered her chest and breast. The straps went over her shoulders and around her neck. The skirt part of the uniform was about five inches above the knee. Hermione turned around where he could see her smooth tan back. Her back was completely bare apart from for the snake design which was moving around on her bare back.

Harry said "Hermione you look very sexy in that." Hermione said "Why thank you Harry you look sexy too." Harrys uniform was the same as Hermione. Harry was glad that there was the amulet which would change there head into a vipers head. No one would know he wore a dress of all things. Hermione said "Stop it Harry you look fine. Males in ancient Egypt whore things like that all the time now get over it. Let's test out the body shield."

Hermione walked over to Harry and slugged him in the stomach as hard as she could. Hermione hand was stopped less then a half of inch by an invisible shield. Hermione then pulled out her wand and cast a stunning spell at Harry. Harry felt something but he was awake and was still standing. These uniforms would do a lot of good in battle.

The two teens did a few more tests and then took them off and put there robes back on which got side track by a long snog and a trip on to the bed that was still there since the bonding ritual where they gave each other pleasure. When they had finally got dressed they decided to start make the amulets the next night. The two made there way back to the Gryffindor tower and went to sleep.

Over the next two months Harry and Hermione had gotten good at modifying Ron's memory and were now working on removing different memories. Harry and Hermione where now able to, turn them self's invisible. Now they where working on staying invisible will dueling the practice orbs which was is very difficult. Some times when they dueled with the practice orbs Harry and Hermione would wear the Viper uniform to get used to wearing it and to see how effect its shield works against different spells.

In the second week of January Harry and Hermione had started to melt down and shape two snake amulets. By the end of the month the amulets where finished. They had been enchanted and worked very well. The Amulet would change there head into a Vipers head. While wearing the viper uniform and having you head turn in to a vipers head was a very intimidating sight. Harry decided to start learning how to engraving there second wands with Parselrunes needed to transform there wand into a sword for Harry and a whip for Hermione.

Harry and Hermione where the first to learn how to Apparate in the Ministry taught class, in only two months time. Hermione thought the reason they learned how to Apparate so fast was because of all the meditation and Occlumency and Legilimency practice they did. Harry had restarted Gryffindor team practice again in early January. Harry hoped his team would win the cup at the end of the year. At the end of February was there second match which was against Ravenclaw. The Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw by two hundred and forty to sixty. The Gryffindor team had a good chance at winning the Quidditch cup.

Hermione had read the Book of all Magical Travel and found a way to hide an Apparition signature. Hermione was now searching for a way to hide magic usage from the Ministry of Magic. She had a very good lead and hoped in about two weeks she could start to implement it.

February third was a very sad day. Like ever morning The Daily Prophet was delivered to those who subscribes to it. On the front page there was one article only and it was about Voldermort second big attack. Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters had attacked a bunch of different families all in one night. A few Families Harry knew that where attack where the Lovegoods, Patils, MacMillans and the Bells. A lot of good people where killed that night. This attack was another reminder to Harry and Hermione of what they had to do. Those who had lost family that where at Hogwarts left for a week.

In the month of February Harry had started to learn Parcelrunes and rune enchanting. By the end of the month Harry was ready to engrave the needed runes into his and Hermiones second wand. Harry was also getting good at staying invisible will in a long duel. Hermione research in hiding magic use from the Ministry of Magic was coming along. She had made two rings one for her and Harry. Once she had finished enchanting the rings no one should be able to detect there magic when the rings where worn.

Hermione had also gotten good at remaining invisible while in a duel. Harry and Hermione had learned how to remove memory's from Ron. Now Harry and Hermione where making Ron appear to be crazy by modifying his memories. They would make him think that Ginny turned his robes pink the day before when they where not. Harry made Ron forget that he ever had an assigned text book in transfigurations, so in Transfiguration class when Professor McGonagall asked Ron where his text book was at.

Ron said "What book are you talking about Professor?" McGonagall said "Don't play dumb with be Mr. Weasley. Bring it to class next time or it will be five points from Gryffindor." Ron asked "But Professor what book are you talking about." McGonagall said "That will be detention Mr. Weasley tonight at seven. Now please remain quiet." Ron had a very confused look on his face. Half way threw class Harry looked Ron in the eye and let him remember the Transfiguration book. Ron went red in embarrassment when he remembered that there was a text book.

A few days later Harry made Ron believe that his bed was Deans bed. Which started a funny commotion that night when Dean found Ron in his bed he start to yell at Ron to get out of his bed, Ron tried to claim that is was his bed. When Dean pointed to Ron's bed with his things Ron turned red and yelled what are my things doing by Dean's bed. Then Harry returned Ron thoughts back to normal. When Ron realized he was in the wrong bed he said sorry to Dean and ran out of the room. Ron had never been so embarrassed in his life.

Harry and Hermione morning meditation exercise was going great. Because of the exercise they did. Hermione now was one of the sexiest witches at Hogwarts. She now had curves in all the right places. Harry was not looking to bad either. It was getting to the point where ever time Harry and Hermione looked at each other in either there exercise outfit or there viper uniform they would get sexually aroused. Making there meditation more difficult to do. They could now run two miles in fourteen minutes flat. Harry could do close to two hundred sit ups, one hundred push ups and thirty five pull ups. Hermione could do close to one hundred and fifty sit ups, fifty push ups and twelve pull ups.

By the middle of March Harry had started to engrave his new wand with Parcelrunes which was a very slow and pain staking process if he messed up he would have to start all over, which he had to do twice already. Harry hoped to have his wand completed in a about a week then he would start working on Hermiones new wand. Hermione had completed enchanting one of the rings she made. She was now running test to see if the ring was doing its job. If the test proved successful she would enchant a second ring for Harry.

It was now the last day of March Harry had completed engraving his and Hermione new wands that very night. Harry was going to start learning how to use his wand in sword form and Hermione learn to use her wand in whip form. She wanted to try it out on the Dursleys. Hermione found that her invention seem to be working. She had already made Harrys ring. Harry and Hermione had begun hashing out the final details for the disposal of the Dursleys family. The next month would begin a major turning point in Harry and Hermione lives.
