So Merry Christmas and happy holidays and because I like you all I'm giving you two chapters today so please sit back and enjoy.
Chapter 24
Nott is staring at the blazing fire in the Slytherin common room whilst deep in thought.
'Why hasn't father sent me back a reply about Greengrass and what to do about that jumped up half blood, yet?"
As Nott stares into the flames two seventh years sit on either side of him and get his attention back on the real world.
"So..Little snake, have you learned your lesson to stay away from our ice queen?"
Nott glares at the blonde seventh year and angrily hisses out.
She is my betrothed, And I'll touch her however I want, and whenever I damn well please so fuck off."
Both seventh years smirks at the boy the the one with spiky brown hair replies in a sing-song type voice mockingly.
"Really? cause that's not what I heard."
Nott snaps his head to the other older Slytherin and glares coldly as he says in a high pitch voice.
"Then what you heard is wrong!"
The brunette Slytherin smirks condescendingly at the little boy in front of him.
"Oh really from what I heard Daphne is no longer a Greengrass idiot. Who I'm guessing you begged and cried to daddy to get you a contract for, Because you don't have the stones to actually ask her out yourself."
Nott whips his wand out and points in at him threatening, but before he can say anything the other Slytherin grabs him in a choke hold as he whispers dangerously.
"You sure are stupid. Didn't anyone teach you to always watch you back."
The Slytherin in front of Nott then cracks his knuckles as he gets ready to pound the little twit into the ground.
"I do believe that you need to be taught a good lesson of learning you place..Little bitch."
He then leans in and whispers menacingly.
"The ice queen is ours, and after we sample her taste we will be handing her over to our dark lord so that he can have her as well and then rip out of the information that she has from her cute little head."
During this exchange none of them notice the crow sitting on the edge of the fire place as it narrows it's eyes at the three as it fades in to the shadows.
Dinner had been a very simple affair for the couple as the two had simply brushed off their freinds questions and curiosity wish the simple explanation of 'A simple misunderstanding.'
Afterwards they both wander off by themselves, as they enter the second floor girls washroom Harry turns to face Daphne; who looks both confused and intrigued as she asks.
"So Harry why exactly did you bring me in here? Cause I can think of a few better and more comfortable places for us too snog or for you to ravish me."
The last bit she says in a sultry whisper against his ear as she gives it a quick nip. Harry actually blushes as many different ideas begin to form in his head of all the fun they could have. Harry quickly shakes his head to try and banish those thoughts and to keep his resolve to show the girl the hidden chamber under the school. He then responds with a some what even voice.
"No, I want to show you something. But before I do you have to promise me that you wont get mad and try to hex me into oblivion."
Daphne silently contemplates this as she looks at him expectantly before she nods in acceptance, but crosses her fingers behind her back.
Harry then turns to face one of the sinks and hisses in parseltongue.
§Open.§
The sink then moves aside as the pipe under enlarges. Daphne give a small shriek as she turns to Harry in shock, but she quickly gets over it and waves her hands some what frantically then points at the sink and says loudly.
"What the hell is that?"
Harry just chuckles as he hisses again.
§stairs.§
As a set of stairs from from the pipe he looks at Daphne seriously.
"This my love is the chamber of secrets, and I need you to stay put once we get down there."
Daphne huffs at being told what to do but agrees anyways because of the seriousness in her boyfriends tone.
Harry smiles as he takes her hand and leads them both down into the unknown. As they reach the bottom steps the first thing Daphne notices is all of the animal bones that are laying around on the stone floors. She looks at Harry with curiosity but he simply walks pass all of them unconcerned.
A few minutes of walking latter they come to a giant stone doorway and Harry tells her to stay put as he hisses once again and the doors open. Harry walks through the entrance and calls out in parseltongue.
§Mammon wake up, I have returned just like I promised and we have a guest so no eating her.§
Soon after a giant snake slithers out of the stone mouth of Salazar Slytherin. As the snake sees Harry it hisses out both excitedly and happily.
I'm so glad you have returned like you said you would master, I have been soo bored since you left.
Mammon then starts to nussel Harry's body with her giant head causing him to start to laugh. He then calls for Daphne to come in and meet a new friend. As she enters the chamber she gasps at the sight of a sixty foot basilisk staring at her boyfriend with big round eyes almost like a bloody puppy begging for some kinda treat. After the initial shock has worn off she puts her hands onto her hips while blowing a loose strand of blond hair out of her face and says in a dangerously sweet tone that has Harry stiffen.
"Harry love why is their a giant sixty foot basilisk cuddling up to you like a bloody dog?"
Harry then makes the mistake of catching her glowing blue eyes and gulps as he takes a step back and tries to quickly explain.
"Well you see Mammon here. Well she was a gift of sort you can say from the fifth Luciferel to Salazar, and Draco you see sent me a message and um well when you all where in your second year. The letter had said that something was attacking at your school... and master Luciferel realized instantly what it was and sent me to deal with the problem...Very quietly I did, well it turns out that old Tommy boy had turned his diary into a horcrux so I took it from Weaselette when she came down here and I fed the thing to Mammon here because Luciferel created her. So she naturally listens to them over any snake speakers."
Daphne doesn't move from her position at all but her glare drops several degree as she stares at the two coldly, causing both the young man and the thousand year old snake to flinch as Mammon hisses softly.
§she reminds me a lot of fathers wife.§
Harry looks at the snakes in the corner of his eye never wanting to take them off Daphne as he scratches his cheek in embarrassment as he hisses back.
§Well ya I will be the fourth Luciferel to fall in love with Gabriel.§
The snake nods then slowly slithers towards Daphne it's tongue flicks at her as it takes in her smell. Daphne freezes as one of the most dangerous creatures in the world licks her. This then causes Mammon to give what sounds like a snakes laughter as it moves around her. Daphne keeps the beast in her vision at all time unsure of what to do then looks pleading to Harry to call the snake back.
Harry chuckles softly as he hisses to Mammon.
§Mammon stop teasing the poor girl.§
Mammon looks at Harry and nods but then turns her giant head to give Daphne a snake type kiss then slithers back to Harry's side and does the same to him. Harry scratches her scales as he waves Daphne over to do the same as he continues.
"Anyways I had brought you down here because I thought we could use this room to train privately with our other magic. Since this chamber should in theory block a form of detection."
Daphne nods then a wicked smirks stretches her lips as she waves her hand and four ice spears form then launch at Harry who rolls out of the way only for Umbra to swipe at him.
Harry barely dodges the attack but quickly wraps the hellhound in a ball of shadows, as blades of pure light shimmer into existence in midair around the ball before they pierce it. Harry grins at the balls of ice and snow that is surrounding the girl. His eyes then widen as the entire thing explodes outward sending shrapnel of ice and snow everywhere. Harry finds that he isn't quick enough as some of the ice cuts him, his instincts then scream at him to drop to the ground and not a moment later does Daphne slash at his original position with a blade of ice.
Daphne grins down at him and lashes out with swift and vicious kick to his head head but he pushes it away and transforms, as he changes he pounces on the girl; who then falls to the hard floor willingly and uses his extra momentum to push him over her using her legs as a springboard.
The kitsune looks rather surprised when it gets back to it's feet only to see Daphne sticking her tongue out at him while winking, she then transforms as well.
The two beasts circle each other for a few moments watching the other carefully for any openings. Umbra soon growls with impenitent and rushes the five tailed kitsune only to notice the black and dark purple rose petals to late.
She begins to fall into a never ending darkness, as she falls she watches as cities and people slaughter and destroy each other. Before the illusion can get any worse Umbra bites at her paw hard enough to draw blood causing the illusion to start to shatter. Umbra then uses the shattered illusions distraction to her advantage an pounces at her prey.
The two beast crash to the floor with Umbra sitting on top of tails. She then dips her head and wraps her mouth around tails neck signaling her victory.
Once tails reluctantly accepts his lose he transforms back just as Umbra lifts her head skyward and howls loudly.
Harry mock scowls as he tries to push her off him while saying.
"Ya, ya you win this round. Now can you get off me!"
Umbra looks back down at the boy that she is currently sitting on then licks him from his chin to the top of his head. She then lays down on his chest and simply stares into his eyes before transforming back into Daphne. Who makes no move of wanting to leave her current position, completely content in listening to Harry's very strong heartbeat. She sighs softly and starts to draw soft circles and other shapes on his chest with her right hand just as Harry runs his hands through her blonde and black hair.
He watches as the lingering traces of blue from using Gabriel's power leaves her hair. The two lay in companionable silence for an unknown amount of time but soon they realize that they should probably return to the surface.
The next couple months where relatively quiet compared to the first few days of school with both Harry and Daphne being bored in class while being the first to achieve any task given to them by their teachers much to one bushy haired girls absolute displeasure. They also trained by themselves in the chamber of secrets and with their freinds in a room that could change into almost anything. This room had been found by Draco when he and Astoria had been out wandering the halls late one night.
Only a few really note worthy thing shad taken place in the last three and a half months.
*flashback*
A few days after Harry had taken Daphne down to the chamber of secrets Molly Weasley had stormed into the great hall during lunch while glaring daggers at Harry and Daphne. As the woman walks up to him to start yelling Harry and Daphne simply stand up then brush right pass her none had heard their whispered spells and as they pass the woman her hair and skin becomes deathly white and her clothes turn into an ugly tattered wedding dress, she looked just like a banshee. It had taken the whole staff the rest of the day to just unsilence the woman but they couldn't change her appearance back.
On Halloween was the Ravengers first school wide prank with the Gryffindors having their hair turned into live snakes while Ron Weasley was also given spider legs he had ended up soiling himself and fainting.
The Slytherins where given lions tails and ears while some of them could only meow like a kitten. Both Daphne, Astoria, and Tracy had a great time teasing their respective boyfriends, while Harry, Draco, and Blaise had silently agreed that felines where awesome and that this must be done again.
The Ravenclaws would start to randomly quote their favorite books throughout the day. Luna had made it into a game with the other ravengers and woud bet on who would be the next one to quote a passage from a book.
The Hufflepuffs had a blast with theirs as their hair would turn into one of the four houses colors randomly throughout the day. Once again Luna started making bets with her freinds but soon al of the students and even some of the teachers had joined in.
All of the teachers expect for Dumbledore who couldn't reverse any of this at all, Snape who looked disgusted at his Slytherins sporting cat ears and tails all day, and Umbridge who had been turned into a half toad thing and was eating the flies that where flying around her head look rather amused. Even Mcgonagal had a half smile although she she was some what on the fence of impressed at the amount of transfiguration and annoyed that the Muraders legacy was returning.
In mid November Umbridge had started to recruit students to her side project of the inquisitorial squad that she hoped to fully start up in the new year. She had approaches both Draco and Daphne separately to work for her in hopes of them abandoning Harry. She had asked if they aren't tired of living in the shadow of a half-blood and that she would make it worth their while.
Draco had agreed so that he could spy on the toad while giving her and her little organization misinformation and keep them off the Ravengers backs.
Daphne had simply flicked her hair while saying condescendingly.
"A half breed toad is just as bad wouldn't you say."
She had then walked away with out so much as a second glance.
The last thing that had happened was two days ago when three boys from Slytherin had stunned Daphne and taken her to a far out of the way classroom. Needless to say when Harry had found out he had shown all his freinds that when it comes to Daphne there is no boundaries that he wont cross. Even opening the gates of purgatory and sending a legion of all forms of magical creatures to find her.
He had latter explained to his freinds that was him simply cracking open the gates just barely and that most of those beasts had been mere shades of their true power, which is why he could easily give them the order to find Daphne. Their is also the unfortunate side effect of almost draining him with that simple crack.
He had found her only ten minutes after he had sent purgatory after her. When he reached the classroom he saw her sitting in a throne of ice petting a shade of some kinda canine pup looking both bored and annoyed. Her captures had been frozen from their shoulder below. Harry looked at the three prisoners A wicked idea crossed his mind and his grin was both dark and savage. He then places his hand on the lead boys head as a mark over his heart starts to glow a sinister red and black through his cloths as he says.
"Jouset nuket."
The blonde boys head lulls back and his two freinds pale at the unknown spell.
Harry then repeats this on them as well then says darkly.
"Alright my cute little puppets these are your orders."
*Flashback end.*
Harry grins while thinking of his three linchpin puppets and what they wil soon do. He chuckles darkly as he returns to the real world and continues to walk down the halls towards the Slytherin common room to prepare to leave for the Yule break tomorrow. Ginny Weasley then moves in front of him blocking his path he looks at the girl in annoyance then confusion as she holds out a box of cookies saying innocently
"Merry Christmas Harry."
Thinking almost nothing of it he takes a cookies and bites into it as he swallows his eyes widen and drops to the ground coughing and hacking.
Ginny kneels at his side while brushing some hair out of his face and rubbing his cheek and says softly.
"It's OK Harry soon the whores love potion will be purged from your system and then you can ask for a resorting to be in Gryffindor and we can can be happy together."
Harry starts to breath heavily as Ginny smiles happily, however her smiles soon drops and turns into absolute horror as Harry's head snaps up to reveal a pair of malicious glowing purple eyes with a sinister and radiant glowing red slit that promises only blood. His hand then lashes out faster then humanly possible.
hope you all enjoyed this chapter. till next time Merry Christmas.
