November 16 (Wednesday)

The majority of the Hufflepuff and the Gryffindor fifth years were gathered around the library, many of them were stressing for the OWLs. They have 5 upcoming tests on Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Astronomy and Herbology. They were also assigned individual projects or research on every subject that they have to submit before Christmas break. Everyone gravitates to one person in the table and that was Hermione.

Her confidence was skyrocketed ever since he and Hermione had sex. Gone was the meek and shy Hermione who prefer to be the on the corner and not to be seen at all and enter the confident Hermione who is willing to take charge and was not willing to back down.

Hermione was teaching the students in the table and they seem intent into listening to her every word. They were discussing last week's lesson in Potions. They were shocked that she was very knowledgeable in the subject and that she seems to be breezing easily through it all.

It was last Sunday that Harry had gathered them all to have a study group which they were happy to do so since all of them could really need the help. He then encouraged Hermione to take control of the group which she fully accepted. Harry planned on using this study group to gather the muggle-borns and eventually sway them into fighting the status quo of the current Ministry.

While Hermione was leading the study group in the library, Luna was in her room at the Ravenclaw tower reading a book about being an animagus. Harry and Daphne were meeting at a secret passage that connects the Slytherin and Gryffindor common rooms that Luna discovered while exploring the castle looking for her hidden shoes.

"You wish to see me?" Daphne asked in a hush voice, even the vicinity they were in was warded, she wouldn't take any risk of being found out.

"Yes, I hear from the toad that she will soon take control of Hogwarts even though Dumbledore will still be the Headmaster." Harry paused and leaned closer to her. "What I want you to do is to be in Draco's good graces." he said in a whisper.

"I already am in his good graces." Daphne stated.

"Are you one of his confidants?" Harry asked and Daphne shook her head. "Then try improve your relationship with him. Although don't try to do something you're not comfortable." Harry replied.

"Why?" Daphne asked in confusion, it doesn't really made any sense as to why she would be doing this. "Wouldn't it be better to focus my attention on getting this enchanted item done?" Daphne asked.

"Make it a second priority as of now. When she takes control of Hogwarts she will be making a task force of pureblood students to enforce her rules. And I want someone to be close to her and provide us inside information." Harry paused when she looked deflated and confuse about her mission. "Daphne, can you tell me why I have you do this?" Harry asked.

"Because somehow it's good for us?" Daphne answered with uncertainty. "Because you asked me to?" Daphne answered again with more uncertainty. Harry was angry at her about her answers she had given and was about to lash at her.

Daphne took a step back when she felt his threatening aura he's omitting, she had a hard time breathing and was sweating. Harry took deep breaths and calmed himself.

"Why did you join me Daphne?" Harry asked, Daphne was silent at the moment as she was still speechless. "Answer me quickly." Harry hissed at her and that brought Daphne out of her stupor.

"Uhmm. Because I want to be more than what I was told on what I was going to be me. To take revenge on the death eaters that had put my family in the position we're in. That had constantly threatened them with their lives unless the complied into their demands." Daphne said with resolute.

"And how does being a loyal and diligent follower would mean for Umbridge?" harry asked again.

"That I am someone to be trusted and relied on." Daphne quickly answered. "And?" he asked.

"And……Eventually I'll have more power than Malfoy and I'll have great influence on her as she sees me as trustworthy and reliable." Daphne answered in a hush voice as realization dawned on her.

"Caught on have you?" Harry asked sarcastically, Daphne looked embarrassed and humiliated of what he said.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Look Daphne, there's a reason why you wanted to join me and why I welcomed you. Think for yourself and don't just follow me like a lost dog because if I had to do all the thinking for you. What do I need you for?" Harry said. Daphne's mind was just processing the things he had said.

He was right, she was not his follower nor servant. She was a partner to achieve a certain goal. She was not the only one that had to say the oath but he did so too for her.

Daphne looked at him in the eye and said. "It won't happen again and I'll do my best in doing the two missions." she said with fury and determination. He just nodded and replied, "That's all I ask, let's leave its getting late." and the both of them walk in the opposite direction.

November 21 (Monday)

Ever since Cormac had raped Hermione, she had put more effort in her studies in regards to Occlumeny and Legillimens. Harry had been right in what he said, they were still weak and as of right now they couldn't do anything and that they're focus right now should be is getting stronger. The four of them had their own objectives at which they would focus. Harry was specialized in battle training, Luna's specialty was creatures, and the Lovegoods had an extensive knowledge in regards to magical creautures.

Daphne on the other hand was focused on the enchantments and warding while Hermione's focus was also enchantment and the mind arts and because she was a first generation witch, Daphne and Luna was letting her borrow books from their libraries about Occlumency and Legillemens. Harry wasn't able to lend her some books from the Potter library since he it would be attract unwanted attention from the Order.

Hermione was also reading some books from her parents about influencing people and making them think like her. Hermione had done some thinking and thought that she wasn't the only muggle-born that had experience what she just recently did and she thought that muggle-borns are the people that can be easily swayed into their cause. So she plan on getting them into a large study group where she will be the one leading it and with that she will convince them into joining them which would help Harry a lot.

She was really angry at first when Harry told her that he didn't help right away and opted to wait and let those events fold. But she cooled down when he explained that he wanted to give her a chance to fight the bastard and that he made sure that he wouldn't let things get worse and that it worked out great because if he didn't she would probably not have join them and that would certainly put a strain in their relationship or possibly end her friendship with him and Luna.

Harry had also been different towards her, he was more affectionate and protective of her. They did report the incident to the staff and just like what Daphne said, Cormac wasn't punished as supposed to be. The staff didn't even get to report to the aurors as Umbridge threatened their jobs if they were to do so and as compensation she would be the one to make sure that McClaggen gets punished.

This got Hermione fuming and she would be furious beyond measure every time he would be walking in her presence and when he sneers at her. Harry had calmed her when he said that he will sure that justice will be given to him like he had given Terrance Higgs the justice he solely deserves after beating and humiliating Luna.

Harry and Hermione were in their secret room that was still in progress. There was still some work that needed to be done and since Luna was busy Harry was helping her with fixing and cleaning the furniture that is going to be in the room.

"Harry. Are we planning on killing all the muggles including my family?" Hermione asked worriedly

"What? No! What I'm planning is to place all of them in one setting. A setting where they enjoy the benefits of magic, where no one is homeless and hungry because we expanded and enlarged their farms and housing. A world where their technology is for the people and not for war. A world where they are not polluting and killing the world. That is my vision Hermione." Harry answered.

"But they are going to resist." Hermione replied.

"Not if we know how to convince them." Harry said and then he continued on telling his plan to convince all the muggles so they are going to welcome their help. Hermione couldn't help but feel amazed and awed at his plan.

"That's amazing Harry, truly is." Hermione said. Harry smiled and thank her and both of them continued working on the room. "Harry, do you like me?" Hermione asked quickly and with a blush.

"I do." Harry answered.

"Then why did date other girls beside me if you liked me and why in front of my face?"

"Because I don't trust you back then and because I know that you like me and you're Luna's friend that I am not playing with your feelings." Harry answered.

What do you mean?"

"I like you Hermione, I truly do. But since you didn't take the oath like Daphne and Luna. I didn't trust you like I trust them. And I'm only dating Luna Hermione. All the other girls you see me with just a display that I project so I wouldn't be that threatening." Harry answered.

"And I'd really love to date you Hermione but I'm dating Luna so…" Harry added.

"What if she is okay with you dating the both of us and that she wants to date me too?"

"She said that? If she did then I want to be with you only if you want to." Harry answered and then Hermione swoops in and kissed him, he returned the kiss and after they broke off to breathe air "Does that mean we are dating now?" Harry asked, Hermione laughed and nodded yes.

Harry swooped in and kissed her "You don't know how much I've been wanting to do that." Harry said and his lips traveled down her neck. Harry stopped his ministrations to remove his clothes, Hermione followed by stripping off her clothes. Once she was naked, she covered her naked boobs with her right hand.

Harry placed his hand to her cheek "You're beautiful." and he move to kiss her soft and warm lips. His hands snake its way to her breast which made her hand that covered it drop. Soon Harry laid on top of Hermione, his erection pointed at her entrance. "Are you ready?" Harry asked.

Hermione nodded nervously. When he thrust into her, she couldn't help but close her eyes and cry in pain and pleasure. She was gripping the back of Harry tightly with her nails creating scratches. Harry kept thrusting in and out and soon her vagina started to bleed and tears ran down her eyes. Soon both came simultaneously and the two rested in Harry's bed.

He was slithering into the entrance. He's presence protected by a mere wall. He saw the hole that was made recently for him. He went through the hole and he entered the hall where glass orbs place in the multiple shelves where it towered to the high ceiling and was in a horizon as far as the eye can see. Anyone would be lost in the maze of shelves if one didn't know where the orb that they are looking for are located.

A prophecy is a fickle thing and must be protected at all cost. Sometimes a prophecy comes true and sometime it doesn't. Sometimes if one intervenes it becomes true, sometimes it doesn't. If one doesn't intervene, the outcome is still uncertain. A prophecy is a piece of information given by the gods. A mere wizard nor witch will be unable to decipher such knowledge and it will make anyone insane when given a prophecy.

But he was the Dark Lord, a god amongst men. The one that will conquer the world and rid the mudbloods pesting and tainting the magical world. He finally reached the section where the orb was located, using Nagini's body, he slithered up to where it was placed.

Opening his mouth and baring his fangs, he went for the orb but to his shock he was repelled by the magic that protected it. Falling to the ground he went to his way to where he entered hastily. Angry and humiliated at the failure to obtain the prophecy. He would make sure that Lucius and Yaxley would pay for their shortcomings.

Harry jerked up immediately and was sweating. He thought the weird dream he just had. Why was he snake? What was in that hall? What is the orb and what does it contain? Why did he have this dream? That was the question that was in Harry's mind.

After thinking for a few minutes he still has no clue as to why he was dreaming that kind of dreams. What place was that? Whose mind did he just dreamt to? Was it real? Those were the questions that added into his mind. He lay down and decided to sleep. He would just ask Luna or Daphne tomorrow. Maybe they know what it was.
