Chapter 5: The Chamber of Secrets
Tuesday, November 29th, 1994
Harry went up to the sink with the snake on it and said. "Open." He was about to jump down the slide when Luna stopped him.
"I want to go first." said Luna and jumped down.
Harry went next followed by Hermione then Rathera.
"That was ridiculous, Harry. I don't think Salazar Slytherin would've slid down here. Try saying the word stairs." said Hermione.
Harry did and the slide turned into stairs.
"I wish we had known that before." said Rathera rubbing her butt.
"It was fun. Can we do it again?" asked Luna.
"Maybe later." said Harry.
They headed toward where the cave-in was and found the hole that Ron had made was still there and climbed through it. When they got to the circular door Harry opened it and was surprised there was no smell of decay. They went inside and the Basilisk was still where it fell. It hadn't decomposed at all and looked as if he killed it just recently.
"Why is it still fresh?" asked Harry.
"There must be a spell on the chamber that keeps it from decomposing." said Hermione.
"You would get a very good price for this if you wanted to sell it, Harry. It does belong to you since you were the one that killed it." said Rathera.
"Selling it is a good idea, but we should keep some of the venom and fangs for ourselves." said Luna.
"Why?" asked Harry.
"Just a feeling." said Luna.
"Well I don't need the money, but I could take what I make and donate it to the people most affected by the attacks in 2nd year." said Harry.
"If you're going to give anything to Ginny you might want to wait until after your talk with Mr. Weasley about the life debt." said Hermione.
"I'm meeting Mr. Weasley on Friday. I wonder if he was going to warn me about Mrs. Weasley." said Harry.
"It's possible." said Hermione.
"So where do we want to start with this place?" asked Harry.
"Let's look around for a bit and see if there's anything you might've missed last time. I mean it is called the Chamber of Secrets." said Rathera.
She had a good point so they started looking around for any other snake symbols that would be an entrance to another part. Luna walked up to where Salazar Slytherin's head was carved into the wall and just stood there and stared at it. Harry noticed after looking for a while and walked over to her.
"Luna are you ok?" asked Harry.
"This is where the Basilisk came out." said Luna.
"Yes. It came out of Slytherin's mouth… it came out of the mouth. Luna you're a genius." said Harry. He told everyone to come to him and then he said. "Speak to me, Slytherin, Greatest of the Hogwarts Four."
The mouth opened up. Harry stepped forward to go to the opening, but Hermione stopped him.
"Are you sure there wasn't another one?" asked Hermione.
"No, but do you really see two 60 foot snakes surviving without killing one another." said Harry.
"I guess not." said Hermione.
"Just in case, if you see anything move, run and get out of here." said Harry.
"What about you?" asked Hermione.
"I already know I can't be killed by the Basilisk's venom or stare, but I might be able to talk to it if there is another one. Also if Riddle hadn't already had control of it I wouldn't have had to kill her." said Harry.
The four of them went in and found bones of small creatures that were unlucky to have gotten in there. There were three doors from the main room. Harry didn't think they should split up so they took the one on the left first. There was a long tunnel that they followed that ended in a cave in. They made sure it was safe and removed the rocks and found that it led to the Forbidden Forest.
"This must be how the Basilisk hunted when the Founder's were still alive. I wonder if Riddle sealed it to make the Basilisk do what he wanted." said Harry.
They headed back to the main room and went to the middle door and inside found what had to be Slytherin's old quarters. Everything still looked new and clean. House Elves either had access down here or there was a stasis charm in the room. There were some books that only Harry, Rathera and Luna could read. One looked like Slytherin's personal journal. In the next room Harry though Hermione was going to have an orgasm right there in the doorway. In the room were enough books to put the Hogwarts Library to shame. Hermione found an 1st Edition copy of Hogwarts a History and if Harry had told her she couldn't have it he didn't think he'd survive to leave the chamber a second time.
"Well until we get the Basilisk taken care of we can't really set up anything for training in the main chamber, but there's the room here where you can stay Rathera and if you need food you can change into your Dragon form and hunt. Maybe you can fry some of those Acromantula's out there. I don't know how safe it is to have them this close to a school of children." said Harry.
"We'll have to come back here tomorrow so we can look through these books and see if there's anything we need to know. Especially the ones that are in Parseltongue." said Luna.
"I can start reading those tonight after I get back from hunting." said Rathera.
"Are you going to be ok down here, Rathera?" asked Harry.
"Yes, Harry, and make sure that you sneak down here before curfew so that we can train some. Hermione and Luna you can come as well as long as you don't distract Harry from the training too much." said Rathera.
"We promise." said both Hermione and Luna.
The Kitchen
Harry, Luna and Hermione had already missed all the morning classes and lunch so they headed to the kitchens and got something to eat. Hermione still didn't like that they were technically slaves, but Luna told her that the Elves couldn't live without being bonded and that if she really wanted to help them that she should focus on their treatment.
"Hermione when do you think would be a good time to talk to your parents about the life debt?" asked Harry.
"I think I should send them a letter first, but I'm thinking that you should be able to come with me for Christmas break." said Hermione.
"Ok and what about this engagement, Luna. What will your father think?" asked Harry.
"He'll be happy that I'm happy. About our engagement Harry, when do you think we'll do the ceremony?" asked Luna.
"When would you like to do it?" asked Harry.
"That's actually the point, Harry. A Fae wedding ceremony is the consummation of our love and when we have our release then we'll be man and wife." said Luna.
"You mean sex is the wedding? Do you have to have witnesses?" asked Hermione.
"Yes there are witnesses to the vows we say before we go into another room and have sex, but they're not far from us so when the union is complete there's a happiness that is felt by all." said Luna. "If you would like we can share the ceremony and the three of us will consummate our union together."
"You mean me and you, not just me and Harry after you two are done?" asked Hermione.
"In a joint marriage the sister wives are intimate with each other as well." said Luna.
"I'll have to think about that." said Hermione.
"I'll think about it too." said Harry and Hermione slapped him in the shoulder.
The three of them went for a walk around the Black Lake.
"I know what Rathera meant about us not being able to satisfy you by ourselves, but how many women do you think you'll have to have, Harry?" asked Hermione.
"I don't know. That's something we'll have to ask Rathera tonight." said Harry.
"I think Harry would like Rathera to be one of the women judging by how he looked at her earlier." said Luna.
"Luna! That's not fair. She was naked and had a really good set of…" started Harry.
"Don't finish that sentence, Harry." said Hermione. "There is one thing I want to do before having to deal with, marriage and all these other women." said Hermione coming closer to Harry.
"What's that, Hermione?" asked Harry.
Hermione put her hand behind his head and pulled him down into a kiss. Harry held onto her and deepened the kiss.
"Mmm that was good." said Hermione after the kiss ended.
"If you're going to make an informed decision about the wedding then I think we need to test this too." said Luna and she grabbed hold of Hermione and kissed her without giving her a chance to say no. Hermione froze for a bit, but then kissed her back.
"That was actually pretty nice." said Hermione.
Harry stood there froze in place.
"I think we broke him." said Hermione.
Luna took hold of Harry and kissed him too. Harry returned the kiss requesting entrance with his tongue and receiving it swirling their tongues together for a while before stopping and returning to their walk.
Chamber of Secrets
That night Harry and Hermione under the invisibility cloak picked up Luna and headed back down to the chamber. Harry was finally able to breathe fire, but was having trouble doing it while flying. His problem was concentrating on staying up in the air and concentrating on producing the flames at the same time.
"Ok let's switch to combat. In the Dragon/Human hybrid form you can make the horned tail appear as well so we're going to alternate between using the tail, the fire and bringing up the scales to block." said Rathera.
The combat started out pretty well, Harry was a little slow at first in making the tail appear, but he was a lot quicker bringing up the scales to block. Rathera had them quicken the pace and Harry was just a little late on bringing up his scales and Rathera's spiked tail made contact with his side puncturing the skin and into his ribs. Rathera saw his eyes slit and he glared and growled at her before amazingly turning into a full Dragon. Hermione and Luna gasped at the transformation which brought the new Dragon's attention to them.
"Hermione, Luna, run! He doesn't have control of the form and is wild!" yelled Rathera before turning back into her Dragon form. The girls ran, but Harry went to blow fire at them so Rathera charged and headbutt Harry into the wall breaking 3 of the serpent statues. She then slammed her spiked tail into the wall bringing more rock and stone down onto his head.
Once he was out he slowly transformed back into his Human form still unconscious so Rathera transformed back as well.
'He's going to feel that in the morning.' thought Rathera.
Author's Note: To those who like longer chapters I don't know if I'll ever consistently have them. I like reading them too, but I don't have any set plans that I have to have 5-10k words in a chapter. I write to where I think it sounds good to end the chapter. Thank you for continuing to read. The next update will actually be for my other story, but the wait won't be too long. Please review, favorite and follow.
