Alright. Chapter 9 is finally here and this might bite me in the ass. Make sure to read the ending notes before hounding me and for those who are annoyed at what I'm doing with Hermione don't worry, everything will come to light within the next two chapters.
For Now, enjoy the show.
Chapter 9
"You have all done well with learning these different branches of magic." Gabranth spoke to the class as they stood in front of him. "But just learning them isn't enough. Those of you before me right now, have learned combat, healing and support style magic. Mr. Potter and Ms. Bones for example," the man gestured to the duo with an armored hand. "As you all saw the day of the first task, they used their styles to combat a rampaging dragon that caused Ms. Bones to be absent for several weeks on bed rest. Their spells were strong, they actually hurt the dragon through its hide and once I entered the battle, Mr. Potter showed his healing magic was just as powerful as his combat magic."
"I hope you've seen that the world is not as easygoing as you think while you are inside these walls, protected by your professors." The man got nods from several of his students. "Now, today, as a bit of extra credit before the Yule holidays begin, I'm opening the floor to sparing matches. Please note, that you may NOT use your wand, only your chosen magic branch." The room filled with excited chatter the armored man clapping his hands once to get the class's attention once more. "So, do we have any volunteers?"
"Me." A girl five feet in height with a slim build walked forward, her black hair pinned up in a Chinese bun with two chopsticks. Her coal black eyes were locked on to Harry's green. "Potter."
"Mr. Potter, will you accept Su Li's challenge?" The teen nodded stepping forward to face her. "Very well, we have our first two combatants, the rules are as follows. No lethal or potentially crippling techniques. You will fight until I say stop and when I say stop, I mean stop. Use only what you are being taught in this class. Do you all understand?"
"Yes Judge Magister." The class echoed, the man nodding.
"Good, I want everyone besides Ms. Li and Mr. Potter behind the white lines." The class quickly moved, Susan wishing the teen good luck as she went to stand by Daphne and Lavender. A snap of the judge's fingers and a transparent purple barrier appeared where the white square covered the sparing area. "Combatants, face your opponent!" Su and Harry turned towards each other, standing several feet away from the other with the girl of Chinese descent tense and ready. "Begin!"
Su lashed out first, throwing a fist at Harry from her spot as a small fireball shot forth at the teen. Harry jumped to the side, eyes narrowed in thought as Su kicked at him, a small wave of fire heading his way from her foot.
'She's either using silent magic or this is more hand to hand oriented.' "Shell!" A pink sphere covered the male teen as the fire crashed against it, leaving him unharmed as Su rushed at him. 'No you don't, I see your game.' "Bizzard!" A small shard of ice shot toward the rushing girl, the Ravenclaw showing a great amount of flexibility as she ducked backwards, halting her advance as the ice flew over her head. Not stopping her movement, she kicked up onto her hands in a backflip, kicking her feet several times before spinning on her hands, a wave of fire flying towards the Tri Wizard Champion with every kick and spin.
'She's quick and her flames are pretty strong. My Shell won't stay up much longer if this keeps going.' Gathering magic to his hands, he dodged to the side just as the last flame flew at him, shattering his protective spell. Getting to his feet with ease, he watched as Su got closer to him. 'Come on, almost there.'
"Weak." Su's right hand became engulfed in flames before she punched forward, Harry taking a deep breath.
'NOW!' The teen vanished just before the flames hit him, shocking the girl as he appeared behind her, gasping as he threw a spell at her. "Dia!" A red ball of light flew from his hand and hit Su in the back, the girl stumbling forward as Harry followed up with another spell. "Blind!" The girl gasped as her vision went dark, scrambling to her feet as she started to gather flames in her hands. "Stop!" A silver clock appeared before her before merging with her body, freezing her movements.
During the entire spar, Lavender held Susan's hand to make sure the girl didn't try to jump into the match as they watched the two. Susan, surprisingly to Lavender, kept her gaze on Su Li but more of a calculating look and not one of hostility but still slightly tense. Her entire body relaxed as Harry quickly ended the match, a smile making its way to her face.
"Well done!" Gabranth clapped as the barrier fell, walking forward as Harry caught his breath. "You could use some work on the Arcane spells but well done nonetheless, especially with the two Time Spells you've used." Harry nodded, walking towards Su and placed a glowing hand on her.
"Esuna. Dispel." The girl came back to life catching sight of her teacher before her and Harry's hand on her shoulder. The girl glared at him.
"Again. Not fair."
"Ms. Li, do you truly think it was unfair of what he did?"
"Not honorable." The girl answered simply, the armored man chuckling deeply.
"If you want a rematch I'm game. That was actually fun." Harry grinned at the quiet girl, getting a curious look in response.
"You've fought and won this one, Mr. Potter, fair and square I might add as I did not outlaw the Arcane arts that you've displayed." Su turned her gaze away from the boy.
"Later. No Arcane." Harry nodded with a smile.
"Deal." The two walked away from the judge as he called for the next volunteers, Harry taking a spot among Susan, Lavender and Daphne while Su secluded herself away from everyone. Students started volunteering left and right, some ending quickly, others taking much longer.
"I'll go next, Your Honor." Theodore Nott stepped forward after the latest match, pointing at Susan with a smirk. "And I'd like to challenge Bones." Susan eyed the teen, scoffing at what her senses were telling her.
'He thinks he can make me submit to his power?' "Fine, but don't cry when you don't win." Susan stepped into the sparing area and faced the teen. Nott's smirk turned into a snarl as the Judge began the match. A pentagram began to shine beneath the teen girl as Nott's hands became engulfed in flames. "O' Blossom of Light, blind them with your Beauty! Vanji Lost!" Susan smirked as a bright light filled the room from her body, blinding her opponent, who screamed at the sensation and the spectators temporarily. "Pathetic. Go, Fireball!" A wave of her hand and a small ball of fire formed before her, shooting at the teen where it impacted and propelled the teen several feet back, the Slytherin landing on his back with a pained grunt.
"That was… disappointing." Susan shook her head, walking towards her friends with the barrier down as Nott got back to his feet.
"Filthy Half Breed." Susan stopped, looking over her shoulder with a raised brow.
"Is that it, you over inbred baboon? That's the best you can come up with?" The Slytherin opened his mouth to retort but a tight squeeze on his shoulder from a metal gauntlet stopped him.
"Detention, Mr. Nott, after class and you forfeit your extra credit. Ms. Bones, a warning to you as Mr. Nott was the instigator but the next time will be detention." Susan nodded as she walked back to her friends, Nott stomping towards his own group as Tink flew into the room whispering to the Judge. "Very well. Class is dismissed. Enjoy the holidays and I will see those of you heading home after break. Those of you who are not getting a passing grade need to pick up the slack or stop as we will be getting into harder, more dangerous spells."
The class started to disperse, gathering their belongings before leaving the room. As Harry and his friends started to leave the classroom, Daphne looked over to him. "You handled Li very well, Harry. I heard that she was the three-time champion of the dueling circuit for Britain's Youth League."
"So in other words, if she had been able to use her wand she would have floored me." The raven haired teen chuckled. "Whatever arts she is practicing, she is moving along very well. My Shell was quickly taken down with how powerful her flames were. Given enough time, I'm sure I wouldn't have lasted as long." The group continued down the hall towards the stair well.
"Did you ever test to see if the gillyweed works?" Lavender asked as they approached the Grand Staircase.
"Not yet but Madam Sprout did explain everything about it so that won't be an issue. The real issue is that we have to learn to cast nonverbal spells." The only male of the group checked his watch. "Well, dinner is in fifteen minutes, shall we drop our things off at my suite or go straight to the Great Hall?"
"Slytherin Suite." The girls chorused, getting a smile from Harry as he led them upstairs, unaware of the pair of eyes following their movements.
The brown, bushy haired form of Hermione slowly stalked the group through the halls up to the seventh floor. As soon as her foot touched the fifth floor landing, she felt a pair of hands grip her shoulders.
"Well, looky here, dear brother."
"It seems we caught ourselves,"
"a stalker." Hermione rolled her eyes at the twin speech of Fred and George as she tried to remove their grip from her shoulder.
"Now, now, little Granger."
"Can't have you going off to hurt little Susie."
"Can't you two see she's controlling him? He's pushed everyone away and now she's starting to gather even more servants."
"First off, no she's not."
"Secondly, no he didn't."
"Thirdly, again, no she's not."
"You are merely jealous that she's got ickle Harrykin's attention."
"Not to mention Greengrass and Lavender as well."
"I do think Li is also getting to be in line if the way she looked at him after their spar was anything to go by."
"Too right, my dashingly handsome twin. I believe even Davis has started to join the little group."
"Very possible."
"Obviously you can't see that Bones is using her Succubus aura to control him!" the twins frowned.
"You're toeing a very thin line, Hermione."
"She's done nothing to him."
"Your jealousy is going to ruin any chance of being friends with him at this rate."
"You need to leave them alone."
"And stop being prejudice against her for her race."
"Because what you're doing is no different,"
"to what Snape did to Professor Lupin last year."
"Now leave." The commanding tone in the twin's voices made Hermione's eyes glaze over for but a moment before she walked down the Grand Staircase.
'Ten points to Gryffindor.' Gabranth smirked under his helmet as he vanished into the hall away from sight.
X Hogwarts Library X
Daphne sat in a secluded corner of the library, her eyes tearing through the notes her best friend managed to get from her mother, jotting down her own as she looked everything over. Honestly, the woman was brilliant. She managed to figure out how to make the bloodstone for Tracy all on her own and modify its use with just a few runes and a little bit of alchemy. Her studying continued when she came across a page that made her reread it several times to be sure she was looking at it correctly.
Normally, a Vampire's bloodstone can only be used to create magical foci or to power wards and enchantments. However, I've managed to create a rune alchemic formula to suite my needs. I was shocked that the Flamel's responded to my letter regarding my idea. To think that they gave me the answer when all I needed was a second opinion on if this formula would work. They even sent the needed materials.
Bless those Flamel's. To think I had stumbled across the beginning stages for their fabled stone. I was certainly surprised they didn't just come and remove the knowledge from my mind or something but they actually helped instead.
The formula would require blood, of course that I knew in its development, you are my daughter after all, Tracy. The only metal that would work for this would be goblin treated Mythril. Again, everything was provided by the Flamel's. I suspect even the blood is their own.
"The beginning stages to the Philosopher's Stone?!" The blonde gasped, shifting through the notes even faster to find her answers. She found them in a hidden note from the Flamel's, one she wasn't sure how they knew to include it.
Dear Ms. Greengrass,
By the time you are reading this, you'll more than likely be shocked to your very core. My name is Nicholas Flamel and yes, I am THAT Flamel. My wife, Perrenell is a Seer, and a very gifted one at that. The reason that you are seeing this note is because she has seen you have need of our formula.
Now, while you may have heard that we are dead, I assure you, we are alive and well, living peacefully in our home where Albus Dumbledore cannot get to us. The stone you have heard about from your future husband was a fake I gave the old goat to shut him up. While it can turn lead into gold, it would not produce the Elixer of Life and would become useless after several uses.
You don't have much time left before the next Full Moon so I will be quick. These notes will allow you to create something that is similar to my stone but different at the same time. I am ashamed to say that mine was created during a war that I am and will always be haunted by for my actions. You must create your stone the way a Philosopher's Stone (1) should be, without death.
You will need a bloodstone first and foremost. The rest, will become apparent as you acquire what you need. Be swift and stay safe.
Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel
Daphne gathered all of her things, snapped her fingers and vanished, her footsteps echoing the halls as she ran towards her boyfriend's home. It took little time for her to arrive and once she found the door to Susan's room she threw it open, gasping for breath. "Susan! I found… oh."
The teen stood frozen at the sight before her, her face turning a dark red. Heavy breathing came from the two naked bodies before her as Susan lifted her head from between her lover's legs, a slightly annoyed look on her face as her tail whipped around in slight irritation. Pink, lust filled eyes gazed into electric blue as Lavender spoke up with a sigh.
"Daph, the door." The girl stepped inside and shut the door, her back to the two girls as the sound of them leaving the bed filled her ears. "You can turn now, Daphne, we've covered ourselves."
"Unfortunately."
"Susan," Lavender teasingly warned the succubus, as Daphne turned, her face still a dark red as she tried to avoid looking the two in the eye. "So what were you trying to tell us?"
"Or did you just want a quick peek?" the strawberry blond eyed Daphne with a lick of her lips while the Slytherin girl's face started to resemble a tomato in color, pulling a book from her bag.
"Sorry. Anyway, I found a something that will help Harry." Daphne shook her head rapidly reaching into her bag. "I was sitting in the library looking through the note from Tracy's mother when I came across this." The teen pulled the letter from the Flamel's from her bag and held it out to Susan. "It's exactly what we need to help Harry." Lavender tilted her head to the side as Susan walked up and gently pried the paper from Daphne's hands, a playful smile on the girl's face. The Slytherin teen locked eyes with the lust filled being before her before gasping at the feeling of something smooth wrapped around her thigh and lightly squeeze.
"Susan, what are you doing?" Lavender asked her lover, a slight worry in her eyes as Susan snapped her fingers and the click of the lock was heard, quickly followed by a powerful pressure bearing down on the two girls, causing the Slytherin girl to bite her lip to withhold a groan.
'So much magic…' The tail around her thigh started to coil its way upward, her breath coming in gasps as the succubus moved around to stand behind the girl.
"You know Daphne, as interesting as it is that we've found something to help Harry overcome the magical blocks on his core, I've found something else to be interested in at the moment." Lavender made to stop the girl when her eyes met Susan's, Daphne watching in fascination as the brunette healer crumpled to the floor moaning in pleasure. A pair of hands gently grabbed and slid the black and silver Slytherin robes off Daphne's shoulders, the blond allowing the article of clothing to fall to the floor with her bag.
"S-Susan." A moan escaped her lips as the half blooded witch's own pressed against her neck.
"You see Daphne, you came at a bad time… or good depending how you're looking at it." The hands rubbing up and down her arms suddenly grabbed onto the hidden globes on her chest, kneading them roughly but getting the desired response from the girl, licking her lips as Daphne leaned back into her chest with a loud moan of pleasure. "I'm so horny and hungry Daphne. Lavender was helping me but you went and interrupted us. Such a naughty girl, deserves a fitting punishment."
The blond gave a groan as she felt the tip of Susan's tail start to lightly tease her womanhood through her panties. The succubus grinned as she sensed the lust rolling off Daphne in uncontrolled waves of arousal, planting another kiss against the girl's neck, her tongue drawing across the teen's pale skin.
"Mmmm, you smell divine, Daphne." The incarnate of lust released her captive's breasts, her tail still teasing Daphne's covered lips. The girl tilted her head back, Daphne felt the succubus's lips near her ear as she began to pant with need from the mauling of her breasts. "Is there something you wish to ask, Daphne?" Daphne felt her resolve crumble at the way the girl asked her, turning her head to lock eyes with the demon holding her.
"M-More… Please… Mistress…" The half demon purred, sending a shiver down the blonde's spine.
"Gladly."
X Fourth Floor Corridor X
Harry was walking away from the Rune's classroom, eyes on his map as he made his way back to his suite. The Weasley twins had warned him the other day about Hermione trying to follow him back to his new home, the raven haired teen grateful for their intervention.
'I really should get them a gift for that.' Harry thought as he scanned his eyes over his eyes going wide at the sight of several dots gathered around one particular one that had a very familiar last name. He bolted towards the grand staircase, the magic of the school seeming to sense his urgency and shifted to allow him to go the fastest route.
He kept his eyes on the map, letting it guide him the best way possible when he began to hear the voices of those surrounding the other.
"What makes you think you can avoid me, Greengrass? Think just because your whore sister is spreading her legs for Potter that you can do what you wish?"
"Leave me alone, Malfoy. I'll not tell you again."
"Draco, this is too far. If her sister finds out or her father then this can-"
*Slap*
"Don't try telling me what to do, Pansy. Or do I have to remind you of what I can do?"
"W-Wait, Nooooooooooooooooaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
"Pansy!"
"Remember your place, Pansy. Now, Crabbe, Goyle, grab her."
"Fira!" Harry burst around the corner, throwing a large ball of fire at the trio of boys. Caught by surprise, Crabbe was launched in the nearest wall, screaming as his robes caught fire. "Thundara! Blizzard!" A bolt of lightning and a massive shard of ice shot from Harry's outstretched hand, Goyle dropped to the floor, the lightning shocking him into unconsciousness while Draco screamed in pain as his leg was pierced by the ice, nailing him to the floor.
"Astoria, are you ok?" The young girl looked up from Pansy's unconscious form. The twelve-year-old had her sister's blue eyes but brown colored hair with light streaks of blonde. Unlike her Slytherin sister she wore Ravenclaw robes.
"I'm fine but Pansy's been hurt somehow." Harry narrowed his eyes at the teenage Slytherin. Her hair was a platinum, almost silver blonde, her pug-like face was contorted into a pain filled grimace with a burn like mark around her neck wear a silver chain and pendant hung around her neck. Harry turned to the bleeding Malfoy, flicking his hand towards the burning and screaming form of Crabbe which doused the flames with conjured water.
"Malfoy, what did you do to Pansy?" The teen glared up at Harry with pain.
"Fuck off, Potter." Harry growled.
"Last warning Malfoy. What did you do?"
"Ow!" Harry snapped his head towards Astoria, the girl's left arm red with burns. The man knelt down and took her arm, a soothing white light covering them as he healed the burns. "Her locket burned me when I tried to move her onto her back and it feels like she burning up."
"Too bad it didn't kill you." Draco spat venomously only writhe in pain as Harry zapped him with a minor bolt of lightning.
"Remove it." Harry growled.
"No. Let her die. Her death will be on your hands Potter."
"Draco Malfoy, Heir of the House of Malfoy, if you do not wish to start a blood feud with me I suggest you remove whatever curse you put on her."
"Ha, like you can even beat me in aAAAAAAHHHHHHH" Astoria ripped the ice out of Draco's leg, pressing it against Pansy's forehead as Harry used both hands to cauterize Draco's injured leg.
"I'm done playing games Malfoy, so let's do it this way. I'm going to cast a curse on you, much more painful than this little wound here and it will eventually kill you. You will either remove the locket or tell me how to remove it. If not," Harry leaned in, his eyes glowing with power, "you will die, right here, right now, as is my magical, lawful right as Lord Hogwarts for fatally harming one of my charges." Harry showed the young heir his rings, getting the boy to pale drastically.
"You know he can do it Draco! It's of the ancient laws!" Astoria snapped at him, the ice in her hands melting rapidly. "Your father wouldn't be able to touch him!"
"Choose Draco!"
"Alright! The locket is indestructible but the chain isn't. Just cut the chain and the half breed will be fine! Without a connection, the magic can't circulate properly and dies out." Astoria used the ice to lift the chain with one hand, her other pulling out her potion's knife to cut.
*Snap!*
With the breaking of the chain Pansy suddenly gasped, taking deep breaths as Harry conjured more ice to cool her down.
"D-Don't l-look a-a-at me." The teen gasped for breath as Harry watched in amazement as her skin paled to a light blue, her hair took on a bright silver and her eyes bleed from their dark blue to a light lilac color. The pug-like features melted away to show a beautiful woman, not at all like the glamour that had once covered her.
"She's a Yuki Onna, a snow woman!" Harry blinked in surprise as Astoria helped cover her in the ice Harry had conjured.
"H-H-Hot… T-T-T-Too H-hot." Harry looked over her shoulder at the teens that had ganged up on the young Ravenclaw.
"Float." A circle of magic lifted Pansy off the floor. "Astoria, can you guide Pansy down to the second floor girl's bathroom please? Myrtle should be there, tell her to use the sinks to flood the room with cold water, that should help cool her down until I get there." Astoria looked at her sister's boyfriend with a raised brow, the teen glaring down at the Malfoy heir. "I'll be there soon to explain, I promise."
"Alright." The younger girl pulled the floating snow woman along as Harry's hand sparked with lightning.
"Now, sorry to say that I can't let you remember anything about my titles Malfoy, so," Harry's wand shot into his hand. "Obliviate."
X Second Floor: Myrtle's Bathroom X
"Oh the poor dear." The resident ghost of the second floor, girl's bathroom moaned as she looked at the young snow woman lying in the cold water that now flooded the bathroom.
"So, how do you know Harry?" Astoria questioned, sitting on one of the toilets to keep herself from getting too wet while Pansy soaked, her breathing finally evening out from the hot, breathless panting she was doing on the way in, now steadily breathing frost into the air as she rested.
"Oh, Harry used my bathroom to brew a polyjuice potion to sneak into the Slytherin dorms in his second year. I found it slightly funny that Granger ended up taking a cat hair instead of human hair. He's visited me every so often, knowing I get lonely." The ghost sighed. "Too bad he's not a ghost, I'd love to share a stall with him." Astoria blushed looking back to the resting teen to avoid the ghost's eyes.
"Ugh, where am I?" The blue skinned woman, groaned as she sat herself up, looking about the bathroom. "Why am I in a flooded bathroom?"
"Pansy, you're awake!" Astoria got the girl's attention. "After what Malfoy did to you Harry figured you needed to cool down and asked me to bring you here." Pansy blinked in surprise.
"What do you mean?" Astoria frowned holding up the locket that used to be around the girl's neck, getting the Yuki Onna to widen her eyes in shock.
"He pulsed his magic and you suddenly screamed in pain as this burned you from the inside." Pansy walked over and took the locket into her hands.
"I'm free." The girl whispered, turning the locket over in her hand as a smile grew on her face. "He… He can't control me anymore! Hahahaha I'm FREE!"
"So, he was controlling you with it? How did you fight against him wanting to hurt me?"
"He wasn't in complete control of me but that locket did three things. The first hid my true form, as you see before you." Pansy waved her hand, gesturing to herself. "The second is that it tied my loyalty to him, not giving him complete control but I was little more than a slave to him. The last is what you saw him do."
"As you know, Yuki Onna are weakened by warm climates. We need cold to survive. That locket has the ability to drain heat away from me, storing it inside and keeping me at a comfortable temperature. However, all Draco needs to is pulse his magic while I'm near and all the heat that is stored-"
"Will be released inside you, burning you from the inside out!" Astoria finished, horrified by the revelation. Pansy nodded.
"Yes, but it was not always designed that way. Now I have to figure out a way to keep myself cold and hide my features."
"I'll be glad to help with that, Parkinson." The girls turned to see Harry walking on air into the flooded room. "Excuse the interruption and the floating, I needed to make a clean exit from where I left that sack of shit." Pansy smiled kindly at the teen, getting a kind smile back. "You look much more exotic like this if you don't me saying so, Parkinson." Pansy strode through the ankle deep water and placed a cold kiss on Harry's cheek.
"I do believe you have earned the right to use my first name for saving us, Harry. And I don't mind one bit." Harry had a slight pink tint to his cheeks as Astoria frowned.
"Hey, back off my sister's-"
"It's fine, Astoria. I'm sure she meant no harm." Harry told the girl. "Now, why don't we head somewhere more private and we can discuss just exactly what was going on? I believe your sister will want to know what happened as well." The Ravenclaw groaned as Harry hissed at a section of the wall, the girls watching as it opened up.
"Where are we going?" Harry grinned over his shoulder at Pansy.
"The Chamber of Secrets of course. I'll see you later Myrtle, thanks for your help!" Harry began to descend the stairs, the girls following after him as Myrtle told them to visit anytime.
"So it actually exists then?" Astoria asked with excitement as Harry led them into the tunnels that led to the massive chamber.
"Yes and it wasn't very easy to find. Myrtle was the one that helped me find the first entrance." The trio walked into up to the massive, vault-like door watching as Harry opened it up and stepping inside, Pansy stopping in her tracks after a few steps.
"Why is there a dead basilisk down here?" The half demon pointed to the large snake, getting a sheepish chuckle from Harry.
"Eh heheh, funny story actually."
"We've got time." Astoria excitedly started studying the carcass, Harry warning her to not touch the teeth for fear of her getting poisoned. Harry took a deep breath and began retelling his second year.
X Susan's Room X
"Hmm." Blue eyes slowly opened as Daphne stirred from her slumber, feeling warm and comfortable. The first thing she noted were the two bodies pressed up against her, Lavender gently holding her head against her breasts while behind her, Susan pressed against her back. The Succubus's arms were pulling both girls against her and her tail…
"Oooh, don't move so much, I'm still sore, Sue." Lavender moaned, burying her face in Daphne's blonde locks as the Slytherin teen bit her lip, the feel of Susan's leathery tail rubbing against her pussy teasing her.
"Hm? Wha?" Susan's eyes fluttered open, the succubus slowly coming to. "Oh, sorry." Susan slowly drew her tail out from between her sister's legs, a groan coming from Lavender as she felt the spade shaped tip drag across her lips once more.
"Hmmm, I feel so relaxed now." Daphne muttered as the three sat up, stretching sore muscles.
"Good for you, I've never been so sore." Lavender squeezed her thighs together with a wince. The blonde smiled slightly, placing a hand over the woman's pelvis.
"Cure." White magic covered the girls hand and seeped into Lavender, the girl groaning in relief.
"Sorry if I was too rough." Susan muttered, sheepishly avoiding eye contact with her coven sister. Lavender shook her head, giggling as she remembered what they'd done.
"Hey, that was amazing, I never knew your tail could do something like that. I'm just glad the three of us came to an understanding after you woke me back up." The brunette grinned. "Although, I'm not sure if I should be mad or glad that you had me mentally fucked by our future mate. It was almost as great as the illusion of you and Harry double teaming me." Daphne groaned and flopped down onto her back, eyes closed and cheeks slightly red.
"So not fair." Susan looked at Lavender with a blank look.
"You mentioned that on purpose didn't you?" Lavender grinned, standing from the bed and slowly making her way to the attached bathroom.
"Maybe." The door closed behind her as the resident demon shook her head with a small smile.
"Did you really put her in an illusion like that?" Daphne cracked an eye open, getting a nod from the teen.
"Yeah, it was an accident. I was still learning to control myself and all I did was lock eyes with her after we woke up and she just collapsed onto the bed. This last one was slightly intentional." Daphne blushed, remember the events that led to her being bedded by the succubus and then Lavender, after calming said healer down.
"I don't blame you for any of this you know." Susan smiled, nodding to the girl.
"I know. I read your desires when I first locked eyes with you when you interrupted us." Daphne sighed in relief as Susan stepped off the bed and stretched, her tail twitching slightly.
"Anyway, we need our own shower. Don't want to smell like sex when Harry comes back." Susan nodded.
"Agreed, and as much as I would love to attempt shower sex with the both of you, I'm worn out and 'full' if you catch my meaning." Daphne nodded, standing to her feet and gathered her clothes. "You know, you can move into the suite if you want. There are still a few guest rooms available and Harry has already made his desire for you to move in here as well." Daphne blushed, thinking about the option.
"It's… tempting. Very tempting. It would allow me to be close to the three of you without worry of being attacked in my sleep, regardless of Trace being in my dorm room to protect each other. I don't think I can leave her to the other Slytherins on her own though." Susan nodded in understanding, her tail merging into its tattoo form.
"I understand. I'm sure if we tell Harry about how it truly is in Slytherin that he'd let Tracy come too." Daphne rolled the idea around in her head.
"I would rather talk to Tracy about it first to be sure she's alright with it." Daphne threw a grin at the succubus. "And you should think of an appropriate illusion to thank her for her mother's notes, which I still have to show you by the way." Susan nodded, her eyes gaining a slightly pink tint at the thought.
"Girls I hope… Oh dear." Salazar's voice came from the empty frame next to the door leading the man getting an eyeful of a naked Daphne and Susan.
"Salazar! I little warning next time!" Susan cried out, her wings exploding from her back and covering the two teens after pulling Daphne close. Daphne blinked in surprise at the soft feel of her wings around her, not noticing Susan's eyes slitting in rage while her nails grew into long sharp claws.
The Slytherin founder noticed the danger and turned around, knowing better than to stare at a succubus's mate in the nude. (He had the scars to remind him after all.)
"Sorry! I just wanted to let you know that Harry is back with a few guests and wanted to see you." Susan growled, lips pulled back in a snarl as she showed off her sharp canines.
"Message delivered, now leave!" The man wasted no time ducking out of his frame, only to pop his head back in with a grin.
"By the way, Harry would love the-"
"Salazar!" Daphne held Susan's arms down from tearing the frame apart. The man gave a whistle before leaving completely, just in time to miss Lavender walking out in only a head towel and robe.
"Salazar caught an eyeful again, eh?" Lavender walked over and drew Susan's eyes to her, the succubus calming down. "Calm yourself, Sue, he's only an enchanted painting that means no harm to your mates." The words calmed the girl, Susan allowing her features to return to normal and to remove her wings from around a slightly dazed Daphne.
"Damn it, he knows better than to look at a succubus's mate when they're naked and in the presence of said succubus. We get…"
"Violent?"
"Possessive?"
"Protective, thank you." Susan answered the duo with a pout, Lavender taking note of the slightly dreamy voice of Daphne. The succubus kissed the them each on the cheek before walking towards the bathroom. "I'm taking a shower now. Lavender, can you let Harry know we'll be out shortly?" Lavender nodded, watching Daphne follow the girl with a raised brow.
"Where are you going?" Daphne looked over her shoulder, cheeks red and eyes slightly glazed.
"Mistress may need help washing her back and wings." Lavender just gaped as she watched the blonde walked into the bathroom with a seductive sway in her naked hip. Lavender pinched the bridge of her nose at the first sounds of Susan's moans.
"Damned submissive girl."
Once dry and dressed in her pajama's, Lavender made her way out to the common area, her cheeks still stained pink from the lovemaking duo in the shower. She blinked in surprise at the sight of a blue skinned, silver haired woman sitting on a chair made entirely of ice as a younger, brunette version of Daphne chatted with her. Harry turned from Salazar's painting, spotting Lavender and smiled.
"Hey Lav, as you can tell we have guests." Lavender nodded, eyes locked onto the lilac eyed woman as she turned and smiled.
"Hello, Brown, didn't expect to see you here. Although, I should have seeing as Bones is here as well."
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Pansy smirked.
"Somewhat, although you know the human version of me. Bit of a bitch I believe she was while hanging around Malfoy. Thanks to Harry and Astoria, I'm free of the little ferret's control." Lavender blinked in surprise.
"Ummm ok?"
"Lav, this is the real Pansy Parkinson. She's a snow woman or… Yuki Onna?" Harry looked back at the young Ravenclaw as she nodded.
"Very good, you remembered!" Astoria grinned. "So, where's sis? I thought she'd be here by now?"
"She'll be out shortly. She's using one of the guest showers and Susan is taking one of her own." A devious grin developed on the younger girl's face.
"So in other words, Daphne got…"
"Silence." Astoria's voice vanished before should could continue, Lavender glaring at the girl. "That is no way to speak of your sister. She was working on her White Magic and needed to clean up, that's all." The girl pouted, Harry chuckling as he cast Vox, the counter spell.
"Fine, ruin my fun."
"Harry, would you mind doing me a favor and checking on a potion of mine in the laboratory? It just needs a clockwise stir and then two more counter clockwise stirs before becoming a sky blue color." Harry's eyes went blank before the teen left the room with a verbal acceptance.
"Now that's not very nice, Lavender." Salazar wagged a finger at her from his frame, getting a mild glare in return.
"Shut it. Thanks to you arriving unannounced, Susan's magic triggered Daphne's submissive side again and the two will be in the shower for who knows how long." Astoria fell back onto the couch laughing.
"I always told her, hahaha, submissive nature would get her in trouble!" Lavender lifted a finger, a small red ball shining on the tip that, when pointed at the younger girl, shot and hit in her the side. "Ow!"
"That's enough! I don't need you giving away Susan's nature to Harry. He hasn't been told what she really is and I will NOT stand to have you ruin Susan's image to him!" Astoria rubbed the spot where the girl hit her as Pansy raised a brow.
"What do you mean she hasn't told him?"
"She means that Susan is… nervous about how he'll react to her being a succubus." Salazar spoke seriously, hands behind his back and brow furrowed. "No matter how many times we tell her she still fears his reaction."
"Is this because she believes she's found her 'Destined One'?" Astoria got looks of surprise from the founder and Lavender. "What? If you know where to look you can find accurate details about all the other races. It's how I knew Pansy needed cold to fight off the burning heat that locket she wore was hurting her with."
"But how did you know about that particular legend?" Lavender asked her carefully, getting an eye roll as the Ravenclaw student removed a book from her pocket and enlarged it, tossing it to Lavender, who read the title out loud. "Races of the World by Milia Le Fay"
"Astoria," Salazar's voice was of surprise, getting a raised brow from the girl. "Where did you get that?"
"Found it my first year on the seventh floor. Strange thing is that I can't find the library where I found it again. Do you have…"
"Rowena you beautiful, brilliant, sneaky, manipulative witch!" Salazar was bouncing on his feet. "That book was written and enchanted by Milia Le Fay, the daughter of Morgana Le Fay and my wife's apprentice! That book is the best encyclopedia in the entire world about the different races that were recorded back then! Hell, possibly even now."
"Meaning?"
"Milia, the little bugger, was fascinated with the different races, her mother, Morgana, being of the Fae while no one knows of her father. If I remember the long winded explanation she gave me, it updates itself with any new information discovered about creatures. Not sure how though, Rowena and Milia were the experts on it. I never thought I'd see it again!"
"You mean this book is from the daughter of the darkest witch in world history?" Lavender eyed the book warily, getting a groan from Salazar.
"I really wish people would stop butchering history so much, it gives us all bad names."
"What gives who a bad name?" Harry came back from Lavender's errand getting a smile from Lavender.
"People that butcher the history of the past."
"Yeah, that's understandable. Salazar go into his rant yet or did I manage to stop it?" Lavender snorted, tossing the book back to the younger girl.
"Barely. I swear if I have to hear him rant about how history has him painted wrong again I'll burn his frame." The man winked at the girl, unnoticed by Harry as he sat down.
"What's all the commotion… Astoria?" The young brunette waved at her freshly showered sister as Daphne and Susan came out to the common area.
"Hey sis, nice place you guys got here." Daphne looked at her sister confusingly as Susan narrowed her eyes at the unknown girl.
"And you are?" Pansy noted the tone but took it in stride, knowing she was technically trespassing in the sex demon's territory and with her supposed 'Destined One' in the room, it wouldn't help to irritate her.
"Hello, Bones. I must apologize for my past actions. I was-"
"Hey, you guys are gonna…. Who's the blue chick?" Harry groaned as Salazar and Astoria laughed, Tracy looking about slightly confused. "What? What'd I say?" Harry stood to his feet and had everyone sit.
"How did you find this place Tracy?" The girl blinked in surprise.
"Um, you guys showed me how to get here after dinner last week, remember?" Harry pinched the bridge of his nose, the memory coming to the front of his mind.
"Oh yeah, girls wanted to invite you over for a sleep over. I forgot, sorry." Harry waved the girl over and waited for her to sit. "Anyway, and please let me finish before saying anything, allow me to introduce the real Pansy Parkinson, a Yuki Onna." Susan nodded, eyes still trained on the girl as Daphne discretely put a comforting hand on the girl's thigh, only for Astoria to speak up.
"Harry saved our butts from that ferret Draco." Daphne to jump to her feet with a look of rage.
"WHAT?!"
"Daphne, calm down love." Harry went to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her. "She's safe, he never got to touch her."
"Harry saved my life from Draco as well. You should be proud to have such a strong and caring mate." Pansy directed the statement to Susan, locking eyes with the girl. Instinct took over and Susan was dragged into Pansy's mind, watching the situation and understanding the girl meant the statement was for her, not Daphne nor Lavender.
"Thank you, Pansy… Wow this going to be a little weird." The ice woman giggled.
"I know. I've been a right bitch, to all of you thanks to that." Pansy pointed to the pendant that sat on the table. "It forced me to be loyal to Malfoy and was a way for him to control me and punish me."
"Can we please started from the beginning?" Daphne asked, taking her seat after a deep breath.
"Well, I was on my way to the library when ferret and his two butt buddy ogres cornered me with Pansy tagging along with them. I'm not sure how but before Malfoy could touch me Harry came around the corner, slinging magic at him and his boyfriends. By the way, how was his leg?"
"He'll keep it unfortunately. But depending on how well Poppy decides to heal it, he might not be walking about for a few days." Harry announced, taking over the story from there. "After I threatened Malfoy into tell me how to stop Pansy's torture I sent Astoria to Myrtle's bathroom and had her flood it with cold water to help Pansy fight off the heat from her pendent while I dealt with Malfoy."
"Too bad you didn't finish him off. A blight on the world as he is." Astoria commented, turning to a page in her book with a glance at Susan.
"I may have been in my rights to but I cannot allow my titles to come to light just yet, Astoria."
"We were just discussing ideas to create a new pendent for Pansy that would help keep her healthy when Tracy showed up. Hello by the way." Salazar waved from his painting, getting a blink of surprise.
"Ok, Daphne told me you were here, but seeing you not acting,"
"NO!"
"Like a stuck up pureblood with a stick shoved far up his ass and a hate for anything not pure is still a shock." There was a collective groan from Harry, Susan, Lavender and Daphne as Salazar stated to rage in his frame.
"Damn those historians!" A flick of Lavender's wrist sent a Silence spell at the man, quieting his rants.
"You just had to get him started didn't you, Trace?" Daphne rubbed her temples in annoyance getting a sheepish grin from the girl.
"Oops?"
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Harry grinned at the girl, getting a shrug.
"Maybe." Susan and Lavender sighed, shaking their heads as Pansy cleared her throat.
"Bones, could you show me where the bathroom is?" Susan nodded, standing to her feet.
"Sure, this way." Lavender and Daphne shared a look at the edge in her voice as Astoria watched the duo leave the room, a smile making its way across her face as she noticed Harry being oblivious to the attitude.
'So he was right, Harry still doesn't know.' "You know, maybe you should give this book a read, Harry." The girl tossed the book over to the teen, getting a confused look back. "Besides, now that I know it was Rowena's apprentice that created it, it's rightfully yours as her heir. It's a great read."
"But you're the one that found it. It's yours in my opinion." Astoria shrugged.
"In that case I'll let you borrow it. It's an interesting read, goes into detail about a vast majority of the magical species. I've already read it cover to cover at least ten times since I found it my first year so it's no big deal. Besides, with you knowing Werewolves, Giants, Veela and Yuki Onna, who knows who you'll run into next. It's got a lot of the legends and a list of traits and abilities for the various species."
"Thanks, Astoria, I'll give it a read. Besides, with Pansy moving into the suite for her own safety from Malfoy, I'd be more comfortable knowing what exactly I should plan for as far as her room goes." Salazar was the only one in the room to notice the girl's mischievous glint in her eyes.
'That girl is almost the perfect combination of Milia and Rowena, brilliant and very crafty.' Salazar noted with a grin, watching the girl stand to her feet, stretching slightly.
"Well, I think I might take that offer of one of your spare rooms, Harry. I'm tired and could use a shower."
"Lavender, could you?" The girl smiled.
"Sure, right this way Tori, you don't mind if I call you Tori, do you?" The girl shrugged.
"That's fine with me." The brunette walked the younger girl out of the room as Harry stood and gathered Daphne in his arms, kissing her passionately.
"I want you to move into the suite permanently." Harry muttered as he pulled away, the girl frowning slightly.
"I can't leave Trace to fend for herself down there, Harry."
"Hey, you don't have to-"
"You're welcome to move in as well, Tracy." Harry surprised the girl, hugging Daphne close. "You're important to Daphne, that's all the reason I need for you to be allowed here." Tracy looked at the man, surprise written on her face as Harry was pulled into a kiss by Daphne.
"Thank you, love." Harry simply grinned, giving the girl one last kiss before heading toward his room, leaving the two Slytherins alone with their house founder, who was still silenced.
"Ok, if Susan's not going to jump him, can I?" Daphne rolled her eyes, dragging Tracy out of the room.
"Maybe later. For now, let's go check on our Queen and make sure she hasn't been turned into my nickname sake or that Pansy hasn't been cut into pieces." The vampire grinned.
"Soooo, I can jump you instead?"
"Tracy!"
X With Susan and Pansy X
"Bones," Pansy started once they were out of Harry's earshot, the succubus turning sharply to her with a snarl.
"What?" The Slytherin frowned.
"Do calm yourself, Bones. I'm not here to steal your mate." Susan eyed the girl. "I am merely trying to tell you I mean no harm to you or your coven." Susan sighed, rubbing her brow in frustration.
"I'm sorry, I'm still learning to control my instincts. I shouldn't be snapping at you. Besides, he's not my mate."
"But you want him to be." Pansy was led into an empty room, the door closing behind Susan.
"More than anything. He's smart, caring, funny, politically and magically powerful. Just knowing he's across the hall from me and Lavender makes it hard to not just manipulate him into bed with us. I've done everything that I can to not use my powers and abilities around or on him." Pansy smiled kindly at the girl.
"Then what is stopping you from confessing, you silly girl? You've seen how comfortable he is just sitting in the same room as me, and Yuki Onna are known to kidnap our mates. You saw how he acts with Professor Hagrid, a half giant and last year with Professor Lupin, a werewolf. What stops you?" Susan rubbed her arm nervously.
"I'm scared that he'd hate me for what my kind do. We live off the magic we drain from others, we've been known to kill our partners. I can't…"
"You're a bloody idiot and you know it." Pansy snapped at her. "If that were truly the reason you would have turned out just like the succubi you're describing. You wouldn't be seeing just Brown, Greengrass, possibly even Davis, and you definitely wouldn't have stuck onto one side of the fence. You wouldn't care just who you bedded, you would have just done it to fill in that void."
"You need to tell him, Susan." Pansy blew a cold mist in frustration. "The longer you wait, the more likely he'll see it as you not trusting him, just as you already don't."
"Don't you dare say I-"
"You don't and you know it!" Pansy snapped at the angered demon. "If you truly trusted him, we wouldn't be having this conversation, he would already know about you. This isn't about you being afraid, Bones, this is about you having faith in him!" Susan winced, shivering at the sudden drop in temp as the snow woman took a deep breath.
"I do trust," Pansy glared at her, cutting her off.
"Then why haven't you told him? Don't you want to,"
"Of course I want him to know!" Susan growled. "I want him to hold me like he did just before the first task when I found out about the dragons! I want him to kiss me again, just as loving as he did before he left the tent to face the Horntail. I want to feel his magic surrounding me just as he did while trying to heal me!" Susan panted from her rant.
"Then tell him the truth." Pansy said kindly. "Continuing to hide is only going to hurt more."
"Why are you even telling me this?" Pansy smiled kindly to the girl.
"Harry saved my life, Susan. It's only fair, I repay him in some way and if offering you advice and trying to pull your head out of your ass is how I manage it then I'll gladly do so." Susan considered the other demon's words as she looked about the room. "Now, while I'm glad to try and help you with this I really do need to use the bathroom."
"Over there… Each room has its own." Pansy nodded as the girl continued to look thoughtfully at the floor.
"Thank you, and Susan?" The succubus looked back up the snow woman, getting a friendly smile back. "If you need any advice, come to me. I'll try and help if I can."
X Harry's Room X
Harry turned the book over in his hands once more, curiously studying the ancient tome. Shrugging to himself, he flipped it to the front and opened to the first chapter.
Chapter 1: Succubi and Incubi
XXXXXXX
Well, there it is. Hopefully it is as welcome as the last. You've met at least two more of the Coven, possibly a third (still debating on her though). Now for a very important note.
1) Before anyone says ANYTHING, this is going to be different from the Philosopher's Stone that is spoke of by the Flamel's. I will announce that it will NOT give unending wealth by turning metal into gold. The method that the Flamel's used I am referencing is actually a toned down version of the Full Metal Alchemist method of creating a stone. The method I'm going to have the coven used is something that you'll have to wait and see.
