TwinstarDragon: get that rant out of your system?

Potternatzu: harry is a parsesltongue, as shown in his second year, when it said "harry spoke to the snake, telling it not to attack". Huh, that would be rather interesting, might actually try it, thanks for the idea. His punishment will be hilarious, i think, and i'm the one writing the story. Hope it'll be funny.

Paxloria: correct. Correct. He won't, both he AND shalltear won't, since the horcrux that was in her forehead was destroyed when she died as emerald. He failed to find the chamber, because he hadn't heard that hermione was attacked, which was kinda crucial, in addition to aragog's clue. Without them, he saw no need to talk to myrtle, who would've pointed out where she saw the thing that killed her.

Previously

As soon as nami exited the girl's bathroom, she was beset by what looked like a blond ferret and two gorillas. "Who are you three?" shalltear asked in honest confusion.

Now

"I, creature, am draco malfoy, heir to the ancient and noble house of malfoy," draco introduced himself, before motioning to the two beside him. "These two are the heirs of the noble houses of crabbe and goyle. In other words, creature, know your place and prostrate yourself to us!" the ferret, revealed to be draco, ordered. Shalltear simply stepped up to draco and gave him one hell of a bitch-slap, sending him flying down the hall, where he rolled to a stop. "I don't care who you are, ferret, and i only bow to one person, and you are NOT him," shalltear stated. "Now," she continued, before she summoned a holy spear. "I'm going to do the world a favor, and purge you, so you don't contaminate the next generation," she said in a calm voice, before she threw the spear at him. draco, out of fear, quickly got up and ran away.

Luckily, as he ran, draco tripped on something, causing the spear to sail over his head. "Let that be a lesson to you, ferret, to not piss off your superiors. Otherwise, you will NOT survive the attempt," shalltear lectured him, before she walked away, not even sparing him a second glance.

However, before she could get far, the two gorillas tried to grab her. "Tried" being the keyword, there. Shalltear grabbed their wrists and threw them against the walls with two dull *thuds*on the walls and two *cracks* from their skulls. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands," she snarled at them, before she simply left them where they were, leaving the ferret to take them to madame pomfrey.

§what was that about, shalltear?§ nami asked. §just an annoyance trying to get me to bow to him with his non-existent power, and his gorillas trying to grab me. Nothing special§ shalltear said to her basilisk familiar. §ugh. I was SORELY tempted to eat the three of them, but i didn't want to get sick from diseases§ nami said. Shalltear chuckled at that.

Just then, she was cornered by none other than albus dumbledore, the man that abducted her, essentially. "Why did you do all that to them?" he asked in a grandfatherly voice. "It's simple, he tried to order me to BOW to him, calling me 'creature' and whatnot," shalltear stated. "After i dealt with them, i started to look for a quiet place," shalltear finished.

§what's going on NOW?!§ nami asked irritably. §not sure. This old coot just appeared and started questioning me§ shalltear answered her familiar. §i just thought of something, nami§ shalltear said. §yes?§ nami asked as she turned to face her master. §are there any creatures that you're weak to?§ shalltear asked. §normally, that would be a rooster. However, since i'm your familiar, now, the cries of that damn rooster has NO effect on me, thankfully§ nami explained.

Albus was dumbfounded to hear a vampire speaking in parseltongue. "What was that about, my dear?" he asked. "Oh, nami just asking what you wanted," shalltear said. "Anyway, do you know of a place where it's quiet in this place?" she asked. "Hmm, there are a few places, mostly abandoned classrooms. But the top of the astronomy tower comes to mind," albus explained. "And where is the tower?" shalltear asked. Albus pointed in a direction. "It's the tallest tower in the school in that direction," he said.

"Thanks," she said, before she left to go outside. "What are you doing, my dear?" he asked. "Taking the direct route," she said. Once she was outside, she flew in the direction that the old coot directed her in. once she was on top of the tower, she had received a rather nice view of the grounds.

"Ah, this is nice. Hm, do i have any instruments in my storage?" shalltear pondered. She opened her storage, and began to search for any instrument that might be there.

After searching for a bit, she felt her hand grab something. Pulling the object out, she saw that it was a violin. "Huh, i honestly forgot that i had that in there," shalltear said. She ran her bow across the strings of the violin a bit, and tuned it til it was just right.

Shalltear looked up at the moon, and saw that it was full. "I think i know the perfect song to play, in the light of the full moon," she said. She put the violin in position to play, put the bow on the strings, and began to play moon trance by lindsay stirling.

Right after she finished, the ground started to shake, and nazarick appeared out of thin air, just outside the forbidden forest. Seeing her home, shalltear smiled and, after putting her violin away, flew to the entrance of the tomb.

Within the tomb, shortly before

After working almost non-stop trying to find shalltear, the ritual masters finally managed to find her after three days. However, while they were able to find the correct dimension, they were unable to pinpoint her location. That is, until their guest heard music coming from a particular place.

"That's shalltear's music. Trace it to its source, and we'll find out where she is," the guest said. The masters nodded, and traced the song to its source. After a few minutes passed after they started tracing the song, they found her location.

"We've found her. Thank you, aura, for your help," one of the masters said. Aura chuckled nervously, a hand rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment. "Now, to prepare the method of travel," another master stated, before the masters began the ritual.

"Message," aura cast. "Lord ainz, we've successfully located shalltear. The masters are preparing a way to go to her," aura reported. "Thank you, aura, for your report. Hopefully, we can just get shalltear and leave, but i doubt that it will be so easy," ainz replied.

"Hopefully," aura replied, before she cut off the connection. "The method is ready to be used in three… two… one…" one of the masters said, before there was a loud rumbling that lasted for about 30 seconds before it stopped.

"Aura," shalltear's voice came through excitedly. "Shalltear," aura responded with equal excitement. Aura quickly went to the throne room. Not three seconds after she arrived, a gate opened and shalltear came flying out, arms open and ready to give a hug with a smile on her face, some tears of joy in her eyes.

"Shalltear," aura managed to say excitedly, before she wrapped her girlfriend, catching her in a hug, which shalltear happily returned. After aura spun her girlfriend in a couple circles in her hug, aura set shalltear onto her own feet. Just then, gates opened, and ainz, as well as the other guardians, appeared in the throne room.

"My lord," shalltear said as she bowed to him. "Shalltear, what happened?" ainz asked. "There are spellcasters here, milord. They used an object to choose champions for a tournament, and i was summoned, for some reason," shalltear reported.

"Anything else?" ainz asked her. "Yes, i managed to get a familiar," shalltear stated gleefully. Those that were aware of what a familiar was were SHOCKED that she managed to get one. "May we see it?" ainz asked.

"Sure thing, grandfather. Luckily we are in the throne room," she said. "Why's that?" demiurge asked. Shalltear turned to face him, smirking sinisterly, causing him to gulp in fear. "My familiar is a thousand year old basilisk," shalltear stated gleefully.

"Which kind, lizard variety or snake?" aura asked eagerly. "Snake," shalltear answered her girlfriend easily. §come on out, nami. I'm in an area where you can be full size, if you want§ shalltear hissed, surprising everyone that heard her. §thank you, shalltear§ they heard something hiss back at shalltear. §if you are capable of blocking your deadly glare, can you please do so? Many of my comrades are mortal§ shalltear asked. §very well. Luckily i have a special inner eyelid to block my gaze, so i can actually see others without killing them§ nami said, as she appeared on the floor behind shalltear, before she grew to her full size.

"Now THAT'S a snake," ainz complimented the snake. "Her scales are GORGEOUS!" aura squealed, before she jumped onto nami's back and started to hug her. "Be careful with your strength, aura," shalltear warned her girlfriend.

"So, shalltear, you can speak snake?" ainz asked. "Apparently so, grandfather. I found out after i managed to enter my familiar's then home," shalltear shivered in disgust. "That place was SO filthy," she complained. Now the guardians paying attention were curious. "How filthy was it?" demiurge asked. "Let me put it this way, pervert," shalltear began, while also insulting him. Demiurge flinched and hung his head in shame at being called a pervert. "Kyouhukou keeps his domain cleaner than that chamber," shalltear shivered in disgust, again. The others shivered in disgust, as well.

§shalltear, help me§ shalltear heard nami beg. Shalltear looked over at her familiar, and saw that her girlfriend was trying something with her familiar. "Cut it out, aura," shalltear said, hands on her hips. "Aah, fine," aura groaned. After she got off nami, nami quickly shrunk down and launched herself at shalltear, wrapping herself around shalltear's shoulders, shivering in fear. §there, there, nami, it'll be alright,§ shalltear hissed, while gently petting her familiar's head.

Hogwarts, headmaster's office

Albus was sitting behind his desk, sucking on a lemon drop in thought. The goblet of fire COULDN'T have made a mistake. Emerald potter is DEAD! Yet, a pre-teen vampire girl was cast out of the goblet. That girl MUST be emerald potter, despite her denials. Now, if i'm right, how do i get that girl to fulfill her destiny to die by tom's hands? Albus was thinking.

Elsewhere in the school

Harry was wandering the school halls, lost in thought. Why does that vampire feel so damn familiar, when i've never met her, to my knowledge? Harry thought. Suddenly, he bumped into someone. "*OOF*" both harry and the other person said as they crashed into each other. "Sorry," harry said, before he looked at the person he bumped into, and froze.

"It's fine. You were likely lost in thought, and weren't paying attention to where you were going," the girl he bumped into said in an airy, spacey tone. He was staring at the person in wonder. The girl was wearing blue robes, indicating that she was in ravenclaw. She had silvery-blonde hair and was very petite. He would go so far as to say that she was delicately beautiful.

Snapping himself out of his staring, he decided to ask the girl something. "So, what's your name?" harry asked. "Me?" she asked. Harry chuckled at that. "Yes, you, who are you?" harry asked again. "My name's luna lovegood," luna introduced herself.

Harry stood up, and offered a hand to luna, who took it, and harry gently pulled her to her feet. After she was on her feet, harry had a feeling, and looked at luna's feet. "Luna, where are your shoes?" he asked. Luna looked at her feet, as well. "Oh, the nargles took them," she dismissed. "I see," harry had a bad feeling in his gut.

"Luna, have the nargles taken anything else of yours?" he asked. "Oh, yes. Socks, my books, my homework, my favorite items and the only picture i have of my mother," she replied, looking a bit sad at the end. I see, luna is being bullied. It must be mostly her house, harry thought. He then had an idea. "Dobby?" harry asked out loud.

There was a *popping* sound, and dobby was next to harry. "Great master harry called for dobby?" dobby asked. Harry groaned a bit at the name. "Dobby, this is luna," he began, gesturing to luna. "I strongly suspect that luna is being bullied, because people have been taking her things and hiding them," harry explained.

"I'd like you to find all her items and bring them back here, while making a list of where each item was hidden," harry asked. "Yes, sir, great master harry," dobby said. However, before dobby could pop away, luna spoke up. "If you find a picture, can you please bring it back immediately?" she asked in a feeble voice, that sounded like it was about to break. "Yes, dobby will do as asked," dobby said, before he popped away.

Harry looked at luna, and was surprised that she was silently crying. Feeling bravery befitting his house, harry wrapped his arms around luna in a warm and comforting hug. Luna jumped a bit at the contact, but quickly relaxed into his embrace, hugging harry back. Luna can't explain why, but she felt SAFE in his arms.
