A Blue Starred Sky

Chapter 11

Date: 12, August 1996 Entry Number: 5 Location: Britain, Hogwarts

The only thing that resemblance a verbal sentence was how in Morgana's name had they managed to all come out alive? With or without Dora that shouldn't have been possible! Sure, she'd fought against practically half of them while they took the rest, but still! He was so massively outclassed that it was pathetic!

OWL'S were nothing like NEWT'S, NOTHING! The fact that Dora had taught him some few basic NEWT's spells for Defence against the dark art's should have made that clear, but it obviously hadn't, since he was on the floor panting for air, and he was pretty sure he was bleeding as well. The fact that the only reason he was still conscious was due to his monstrous reserve level's simply added salt to the wound.

In just over a moth he had vaguely started to put up a fight for maybe twenty seconds before Dora wiped the floor with him. And he knew that was only because he had started learning her duelling habit's, witch without he probably would only stand for maybe ten.

"Still with the living, Harry?" Dora asked in amusement as he let out a grown before just barely standing up.

"How the hell didn't I get us all killed in the ministry?" He asked in general confusion.

"One main reasons. It's actually, quite ironically, Voldemort." She said in amusement as he raised his eyebrow before it clicked.

"The Prophecy!" He exclaimed as Dora smiled approvingly.

"Correct! They were so terrified of what he would do if they broke the prophecy that they were greatly holding back." She explained.

"So it was out of luck that we survived?" He asked curiously as Dora shook her head.

"While partially, the fact that all of you survived is a great testament to every single one of your skills. By all right's, even when holding back, they would have wiped the floor with the average OWL student. You, Mione, Neville and Luna not only survived, but held them of for hole minutes." She said in slight pride as Harry felt a slight blush form on his face. Realising that Dora had also noticed from her mischievous smiled he quickly changed the subject.

"More practice then?" He asked as she teasingly raised her eyebrow.

"Oh? What type of pract-" She started before quickly ducking, dodging a red coloured spell that she recognised before she stared at one of her best friends, happily accepting his challenge.

On Saturday morning, Hermione and Violet had to apply extensive amounts of occlumency to not wear goofy huge smiles on their faces. After eating in the grate hall, the duo left early to start the first stage of Hermione's 'taking over the world' plan, or as Violet called it, raising Hogwarts to it's former standard. They only had to what some few seconds before the door was opened, a surprised Professor McGonagall let them into her classroom as they both greeted a good morning.

"How may I help you Ms Ravenclaw, Ms Granger?" She asked the two student's.

"After a lot of talking, Violet convinced me to drop some of my subjects to a level that I would be able to cope with." Hermione admitted to the Professors surprise. She had already discussed with some of her colleagues the impressive improvements in Ms Grangers personality and grades, however she hadn't expected her to decided dropping some subjects to a more bearable level.

"I'd like to just take Ancient Ruins and Arimathy, It think that would make it much easier for me to get the grades I need." She admitted as the Professor nodded in understanding. Their also the subjects I'm least going to get bored in. She mentally added.

"That's an understandable request, you would off course be required to return the object that was lent to you." She added as Mione nodded in understanding.

"Is there anything else you would like to discuss?" She asked as Violet nodded.

"Yes, while most showed no problems, I'm concerned with some of the behaviour some of the staff have been showing. I left it for now in the hopes that it was simply the professor having a bad day, but from what I've gathered, it is a common occurrence. While three of them simply do not appear to be appropriate teacher's, the first one I would like to discuss is Professor Snape." She commented calmly as Minerva mentally groaned, annoyed that she would have to tell her student the same rehearsed excuse she did to every other one that complained about that man.

"I'm afraid you will have to take you complaint's to the Headmaster, while I realise that Professor Snape's attitude leaves much to be desired, the Headmaster is adamant that Professor Snape remain a teacher." She said apologetically. To her surprise, Violet simply smiled kindly.

"Actually, I'm making this request as Lady Ravenclaw, only recognised owner of Hogwarts, and as such your boss of higher authority than our Headmaster." She said happily as Minerva simply blinked in surprise.

"And that request would be...?" She asked hopefully.

"I would like for you to hold temporary authority over the Headmaster himself. If you fill that a teacher need's substituting, then substitute them. If you fill that a student's punishment is not enough, then change it. If you fill that a teacher should lose their authority, such as losing the ability to remove house points, and the ability to give detentions, then do so." She said happily as Minerva blinked in surprise, remembering the many times Albus had blocked her and outright let the offensive party get away.

"When may I start?" She asked generally happily.

"I'll have everything ready in about a month's time, until then if you could make plans, or find more competent teacher's, it would be greatly advantageous for Hogwarts future education." She said happily.

Both the Headmaster and Professor Snape felt a shiver run through them, almost feeling someone plotting their demise.

"Myrtle isn't here at the moment." Violet said in a deadpanned voice as she walked into the bathroom.

"Yes, well, it doesn't hurt to be prepared." Mione said with a huff as Violet took out her wand.

"Anything here?" Dora asked sending an amused glance towards her girlfriend.

"Yes, thought it's actually quite disappointing." Violet confessed.

"How so?" Mione asked curiously.

"There's only seven wards on the entrance, and all of them can easily be bypassed." Violet said as she started recoding them.

"True, but Dumbledore probably wasn't expecting anyone over the age of eighteen looking for it." Mione said thoughtfully as Dora nodded in understanding. A silence filled the bathroom for almost a minute before Violet put her wand away.

"Done." She said happily as she hissed something for the sink to open.

"You're sure this is safe?" Dora asked slightly nervously as Violet let out an annoyed huff.

"Of course it's safe, Dora. I explored the chambeeerrrr-" She said the last part in a high pitched scream as she fall down the slide, herring her girlfriends sadistic laugh quickly distance itself.

Dora turned her head sharply staring in shook at Hermione before both girls let out a giggle. At least until Mione pushed Dora as well, and then she stood alone in the bathroom laughing in a very mad like manner before she followed both girlfriends down the slide.

"One day. One day I swear I'll get her!" Dora grumbled in great annoyance. That being said, Violet sent her a sympathetic glance in understanding as Mione arrived down the slide, receiving a irritated glare from the older women.

"Couldn't help it, the sound of both of you screams where beautiful." She said slightly suggestively as Dora let out a last huff of annoyance before following Violet, not bothering to grace her girlfriend with an answer.

It suddenly hit her that she was in Salazar Slytherin's chamber, and all three of their 'blood statues' probably would be the last to ever be accepted here.

"You're absolutely sure it's safe here?" She asked as she unconsciously reached for her wand.

"Yes, Dora, I am sure, just like I have been every single time I came here before." Violet said as Dora kept looking around nervously.

"But this is the chamber of secrets! It cant be this easy!" Dora said in a slightly paranoid manner.

"Yes, but I've been down here countless of times, and I'm checking the place right now." Violet retorted slightly annoyed.

"I can't believe we never came down here during our Hogwarts's years." Mione said in admiration as their entered the chamber. Violet entering first as she was closely followed by the two women.

"Probably because we wanted the whole thing to stay behind us." Violet said as she nodded in understanding.

Second year had been a terrible year, not because the whole school had pretty much accused him of being a murderer, because it wasn't like my best friend, or for that matter my own mother was a muggle born, pureblood logic!, but because he'd been alone forced to watch his only friend lie motionless on a bed.

"You killed that when you were twelve?!" Dora said in a much higher pitch, staring in horror at the giant serpent.

Mione looked no better, realising how close she had actually come to dying in 'the safest place of Brittan'. Curious to now if Rose's battle had gone the same way that her own had, she inspected the serpent's head. Sure enough, at the top of it's head there was a whole shaped as if a blade had gone through it.

We really were lucky. Violet whispered to herself thoughtfully. Snake's had been something shed studied extensively after the world became a mess.

The thing about them was that even when severed in half they could still very easily kill you. Even as a veteran Violet still would have aimed for the brain. anything else would have probably lead to her death, except possible using a huge amount of raw magical power, much like Mione had done against the demon. Serpents could retain their reflexes even hours after death. The more poisonous the snake was, the stronger the reflex was, and had they aimed anywhere else with the sword, even the head, and it still would have devoured them. Minerva's words of 'shear dumb luck' echoed through her head as she thought about her Hogwarts year's.

"I'm surprised you didn't dye the second the you opened the chamber." Dora said with a slightly hint of nervousness as Violet nodded in understanding.

"The Basilisk came from the statue over there." Violet explained before a though passed through her mind. "Come to think about it by the time I got to explore the place, the statue had already been completely destroyed. I wander if anything else was in there." She said before walking towards the statue.

Hissing an open in parseltongue she waited for the mouth to open. When an echo sounded from the mouth hitting the ground she sent out an over powered light charm inside the statue, waiting for any short of reaction. When nothing occurred she took a more calm posture as she pointed her wand towards the ground.

'Gelidus' She casted as the water surface quickly froze, creating a path for her to walk on.

The three women walked into the small cave with their wands illuminating the area. Inside the statue seemed to be the Basilisk's nest, or at least what had been the nest.

"Violet?" Dora squeaked in a terrified voice as she turned around.

In front of them was an egg. Most likely a Basilisk one. She thought with slight amazement as she knelt down to touch it. Dora was looking at her in a completely terrified manor, and even Mione seemed slightly unnerved by the though of it being alive.

Maybe it's a parseltongue trait? She wondered as she carefully felt the shell with her bare hand. For some reason, there was a certain number of magical creatures that had always fascinated her. Basilisk were simply one of those in that list. There was also Therestal's and Hippogriff's that she had gotten attached to when she had first attended Hogwarts. Of course, while after the fall of Hogwarts thing had gotten ugly, she had encountered many magical creatures that she had grown to love, Horned Serpent's, Thunderbird's, Chimaera's and so many more. Oh, and Nundu's, she was fascinated by them to the point that she had managed to interact, so to say, in five different occasions.

She momentarily wondered if it had anything to do with the first person that had ever treated her kindly, Hagrid, since one of the first things he had told her about the magical world was the many creatures that inhabited it. Shaking her head she delicately purred a small amount of her magic into the egg, and to her joy, she felt a small reaction coming from it, much like a mother feeling her baby kicking from inside. Violet slowly turned her head to her two lover's, a bright sparkle coming from her eyes as she opened her mouth.

"Can I keep it?" Violet asked in a very sweet tone as both girls starred at her in horror.

o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.

She only had needed to use some mild threat's before both witches had happily agreed to her keeping the egg. Apparently threatening both of them with the couch was a terrifying threat, who knew?

Shaking her head in amusement she started eating her dinner as she looked up to the teachers table.

Lily Evans. She was still having an internal argument as to how to interact with her mother. Just another reason to curse Dumbledore she guessed. 'Your mother was the smartest witch of the age' had almost been an insult once she'd started being told about her mother. It went more of the lines of 'You're mother? Oh, she was only one of the very few that actually went toe to toe with Voldemort, you know, that guy that you fought and tore the world in half with? Yes, that one!'. He had used a particular dictionary of words that night when cursing that old man's name rather than Hermione's discreet ones.

There were many titles and positions that one could obtain, and her mother held most witch a muggleborn witch could get. In all honestly? The best way to acquire many titles was during war time. Any other muggleborn witch placed in Lily's situation and they would have lost they daughter in a matter of seconds. The fact that Lily was still Rose's mother was testament on how much power she had accumulated, if only in number of titles. The problem laid with the fact that many of those titles were only useful in combat, so a title such as dragon slayer would have no use in terms of politics, which was where her mother had been blocked left and right.

There were three main ways that one could have political power. The first, was being born into a house, for example, if she wanted to she could become a significant powerhouse in Britain's politics, since he not only represented Hogwarts, but some significant houses as well. The seconds, which was what Lily had used, was political titles usually given during war times or monumental achievement's, known as Order of Merlin.

Why wasn't it widely known that Order of Merlin's held an immense amount of power? Blame Dumbledore, since it was Binns job to teach the student's the importance of political titles but had only gone on and on about goblin wars. It worked much like a Victoria Cross, only that with a magical meaning and Authority. It's why she was surprised that Lily had lost the title of Evans, since only one person had enough political power alongside an Order of Merlin first class. Dumbledore. Well, maybe not surprised that the man had dared crossed her family, but incredibly infuriated by the man.

Which brought her to the third way to gain political power, the ICW. The ICW had influence in almost every country at this point, including Brittan. This was where things got slightly complicated.

The ICW was, quite literally, the heart of magical stability. While they were best known for the statue of secrecy, they also kept countries in line, which was why Voldemort had only waged war in Britain until he had enough of the country to start taking over the world. Oh, Violet was sure that he had been building power in other countries secretly, but that was the thing, even Voldemort hadn't taken the ICW on until he had held practically all of Brittan, alongside many part's of quite some few countries across the world.

And against her better judgment, she was about to become involved, quite literally, in the middle of it. While most countries had the pureblood supremist ideals, a lot of the customs that had at first defined them with a justified biased had been lost. Any magical being existed through magic, and as such, magic was considered the highest authority. Funny thing is, that while someone can give a title, magic itself is what decides weather that person deserves the title or not. Of course, many more titles had been invented that held no magical meaning apart from locking good. For example, the order of merlin first class that Fudge had was different from the actual magical Order of Merlin first class. It did not have any magical significance, unlike the one Dumbledore and her mother held, which was 'gifted' to them by magic.

And through Gringotts, she knew that she still held all her titles, which could not be denied from her. A slightly amused smirked formed on her face as she finished eating. The world had thrown every responsibility on her, including the many titles for the war she lead against Voldemort. And now she could use every single one of them to get them back as she protected her family.

Revenge is a dish best serve cold, or so they say.
