Chapter 11: Guild Base
X
It took only 8 hours of sleep to recover his Health, Mana and Stamina to 100%, so he can use his magic but of course if he went against Madam Pomfrey's orders, he would be suffered with revolting Potions next time he need her attention, knowing him he would certainly need her attention by the end of the month
He got out of bed and went to bathroom and brushed his teeth and completed his daily routine and equipped new dress from the inventory, he found any equipment he equipped from the inventory would re-size to fit him, even non magical clothes belong to Dudley re-sized to fit him, when unequipped and took out of the inventory it would look same as before
When he exited the bathroom, he found Neville woke up and Deen, Shamus and Ron's bed curtains were still closed and he found Crookshanks pacing near Ron's bed hissing at something, Harry approached the cat and picked him and scratched him near his ear, the cat purred in contentment, the cat looked at Ron's bed and hissed again
"Oh, come on big boy, leave him be let's get back and meet Mione shall we" he said, the cat looked at Ron's bed and him for few times and bobbed his head
He entered the Gryffindor Common Room and the moment he entered he found Hermione and Tonks speaking with each other but all he heard was strange buzzing sound, when he looked at Dora there was a strange feeling, he don't know if it was because of the kiss or something else, after a moment guilt welled up in his heart, he is dating Hermione he don't want to cheat on her, he shook his head and approached them
"Hay Mione, Dora" he called out, they looked at him, Dora waved her wand and the buzzing noise ended, he approached them, gave a hug to Dora and small kiss to Hermione and let the Crookshanks on the floor
"So, what are you both talking about" Harry asked, they looked at each other briefly
"Nothing serious, we spoke about Luna, and what you said to me, we thought it would be better to take others opinion before inviting anyone else into the guild, I know it was your power we would only advise and the last choice would be yours of course" Hermione said
"Hmm that's a good idea, I will ask Mispy if there was any room was available for us to gather" he said, there was a pop and Mispy appeared before him
"What can Mispy be doing Master Harry" Mispy asked
"Oh yes Mispy, we were wondering if there are any unused room we could use to gather with our friends" he asked
"Well master there are several rooms available for student clubs but you need permission from Professor Kitty" Mispy said
"Professor Kitty?" Hermione asked confused
"Professor McGonagall" Harry Said, Dora snorted and Hermione barely surprised the chuckle
"Uh, Mispy we can't exactly ask permission from the Professor McGonagall, are there any rooms we can use without permission" Harry asked
"Well master Harry there is a room we elves call 'come-and-go room' or wizards call it Room of Requirements it's on 7th floor of Astronomy tower near the Ballet Trolls Portrait, you can use that it can turn into any room you want, you just need to pace before the portrait 3 thinking of the room you need and the door appears" she said
"Room Of Requirements? I never heard of it, even in Hogwarts: a History" Hermione asked with a frown
"Wow, that's rare" Harry joked, Hermione swatted him
"I once stumbled on the broom cupboard when I was in 5th year when I was dating Charley Weasley, in the same location" Tonks said, Harry felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing this
"Oh, I don't know you were dating someone Tonks" Harry asked
"Oh no we are not dating anymore, after we dated for few days, he found he batted for the other side, so we maintained the facade not to let any others know, he helped me by keeping away the unwanted attention, and we 'broke up' quietly when he graduated my 6th year" she said, he nodded
Hermione casted tempus spell and found it was only 6 in the morning
"I think we have time before breakfast so we can check the room out" Harry said, Hermione shrugged, Tonks nodded
"Very well, thanks for the information Mispy" he said, Mispy smiled at him and popped away
After few minutes they were near 7th floor Astronomy tower it only took few minutes to find the Ballet Dancing Trolls portrait he looked at it for a moment and thought of a room that could fit over 20 members and some games and place for spell practice
After he paced 3rd time, he looked at the wall and found a door appeared, he opened the door and found it looks like a Gryffindor Common Room but without any house banners and there was 8 Doors at the end of the room
He noticed each room had a name plate, he read Duelling room, crafting room, Library, workshop and potions lab and 3 rooms were dorms, one has Female Dorms, Male Dorms and Guild Leader's Dorm
{Notice:

He blinked and frowned and selected yes
Then another screen appeared before Him and all the guild members

"Hmm, it seems we have found out our temporary secret base" Harry said
"that's cool and all but how can I access this if I am not in Hogwarts" Tonks asked, Harry thought for a moment then another door materialised on an empty space of the wall it has no indication what that room was
"What was that" Hermione asked
"I… don't know" Harry said and approached the door and opened it, he was surprised to find a tunnel and looked at Hermione with bewilderment
"We ARE still on 7th floor right" Harry asked
"From what this room had done so far, I would say we are in a personalised Pocket dimension that was anchored to that wall and the wards of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade" Tonks said
"Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked
"Yeah, originally Hogwarts wards also cover Hogsmeade village, after separation of Magical and Non-Magical worlds one of the headmasters decided to bring down the wards to cover only the castle and portion of Forbidden Forest, Black Lake, and mountains the castle was sitting on" Tonks said
"How do you know this" Hermione asked
"I am an Auror here to protect students, I need to learn all those things if I need to do my job, we are here not just to stop Dementors entering the Hogwarts and approaching Students, we are also here to stop Students from antagonizing Dementors or approaching them for any foolish reasons" Tonks said, Harry nodded
"So, where do you think this tunnel could take us" Harry asked and looked at the mini map in his peripheral vision, it enlarged and to his surprise the map was blank
{Error!
The Marauders Map was incomplete
Would you like to start upgrading the Marauders map
YesNo}
He selected yes, then the mini map glowed and slowly map filled out to create the rooms and tunnel, he was again surprised when the tunnel stretched out to one of the caves near Hogsmeade and Forbidden Forest
"Huh, it seems this tunnel led to the cave near Hogsmeade" Harry said
"How do you know?" Tonks asked
"One of the Function I unlocked with the Marauders map is Mini Map, whenever I was in new location it could update automatically like in many games" Harry said
"let's not do anything stupid this early in the year, and if this tunnel led to any dangerous location, remember you still can't use magic till Madam Pomfrey clears you to use magic" Hermione said
"Hmm, yes I would agree with her Harry, I am here to stop students from exiting the Hogwarts Wards, I will test it from the other direction after my shift" Tonks said
"Fine, then let's get back to great hall for Breakfast before anyone missing us, and Hermione where was Padfoot?" Harry asked
"Padfoot?" Hermione asked
"Ugh, the dog" Harry clarified
"Oh, I asked Hagrid to help, he agreed and took him to his hut, we can see him after the breakfast, it was too spooked by the Dementors" Hermione said, Harry nodded
After few minutes Harry and Hermione entered Great Hall and Tonks entered few moments later, they sat near the 3rd year Gryffindor section and started eating
"So, Potter is it true that you fainted when came near Dementors" Draco drawled, Harry and Hermione groaned
"Scion Malfoy, I would advise you to think before you speak and remember who you are speaking with" Harry said calmly, Draco scoffed
"If anyone should know their place it's you " Draco said with a smirk
"Well, you asked for it, Scion Malfoy Heir to Elder House of Malfoy, I will say the same thing what you just said to me, you should know your place before speaking with your betters" Harry said showing him both Heir Potter and Black rings, he gaped at the rings
"I hope you recognise these, as the Heir of your Mother's maiden house I will speak with your mother about teaching the Hierarchy of Wizarding world, it seems your father had forgotten to teach it to you, and from this day on your forays to Gryffindor table and taunting me will end from today, or you can face me in the Honour Duel..., oh sorry you already proved that you have no honour by not showing up for the duel that you declared in our 1st year, now, get back to your pit and think hard about the facts that you are no one special than the scion of the house that came to this shores when the French kicked out of their borders, oh and let daddy dearest know that he need to vacate the regent seat of House Black, as an Heir to the House I have already chosen my Proxy" Harry said, Draco paled and turned red
"How do you have that ring, I am supposed to be next Lord Black" Draco exclaimed, Harry chuckled and lean forward close enough to let only Draco hear whatever he was going to say
"oh Draco, you should know if there were no males of main branch present to take the Lordship of House Black it would go to the next eligible candidate that would be next closest to the main branch, that would be me because well you see my grandmother was the eldest sister of the Lord Arcturus Black, as descendent of her I had higher claim than your mother who was part of Branch family, so no matter how much you screamed and your father bribed ministry you can't be next Lord Black as long as I am alive" Harry said with a smile, Draco turned red and about to reply something
"What's going on here" came the drawling voice of Severus Snape
"Nothing, Scion Malfoy was apologizing from interrupting my breakfast and returning to Slytherin table" Harry said with a smile, Draco growled and reluctantly bowed and returned to Slytherin table
"I don't believe that for one minute" Snape said, Harry looked at him, Snape narrowed his eyes and jerked back as if he was punched on the nose
{Gamer's mind activated
Passive Legilimency probe repelled
Note: to protect from Active Legilimency attacks, User need to Learn Basics of Mind Magic}
"30 points from Gryffindor for disrupting morning feast" Snape growled out, Harry want to argue but he knows from the experience if he did that the only thing would happen is loosing more points and more detention, he scowled and sat back
He opened the menu and went to Shop to find anything related to Mind Magics, he found 3 books that helps protecting mind
{Guide to Basic Occlumency by Maxwell Barnett: X1
Cost: 5Gold}
{Guide to Advanced Occlumency by Maxwell Barnett: X1
Cost: 17Gold}
{A Practical Guide to counter Legilimency by Franciscus Fieldwake: X1
Cost: 25 Gold}
'Hmm these books seem expensive than all the books and all the things I bought, maybe first book would be fine for now…. Hmm, maybe I will check in Library before I buy through the game' he thought
"What are you thinking" Hermione whispered
"well, there is this skill called Gamer's mind it would keep my mind in optimal condition if I have enough determination, it can also detect if someone try to enter my mind, and it can repel passive attacks, just now Snape tried that and got repelled, to repel the active attack we need to learn something called Occlumency, previously I thought it wouldn't be that top on my list but now I was thinking it would be our primary goal to protect our minds, I mean I managed to repel him only because of the skill I have, you and other don't have that skill so, if he try it on any one of you he would find about the Gamer ability" He said, Hermione shuddered
"yeah let's speak with other about this when we gathered in the base" Hermione said, looking repulsed at the thought Snape entering her mind, they quickly finished their breakfast and noticed Twins and Dora already gone they too exited the great hall and went to the Guild base and found there was a door already there he noticed the Marauder map didn't show any one inside the room or the specific layout of the room there was just a box indicating there was a room if not for that he would not even think there was something neat the wall, he frowned but approached the door and opened it and found Twins and Dora relaxing in the couch near the fireplace
"Ahh, Welcome our glorious Leader-"
"Stop it or I am gonna dump all your prank material into bin" Harry threatened, they shut up
"Oh, there Harrikins don't need to go that far" Forge said, he sighed and took all the prank items out of the Inventory and handed them
"Well now we all are here, let's start the first meeting of our Guild" Hermione started, Harry snorted
"well as you know, I was attacked by Dementors on Hogwarts Express and firstly I want all of you to learn to protect yourself from Dementors, from my past I know I will face them atleast one more time this year and if you want to follow me you will also face them, I know even if I want you to stay out of trouble you won't listen to me, so this way you atleast have chance to fight back" Harry said, they all nodded
"I will also help you teach it I can cast one as well, but I will be honest it takes a lot out of me, that was the main reason most of the adult wizards can't cast Corporeal Petronus" Dora said
"You can cast Corporeal Petronus" He asked, she smiled and nodded
"Yeah, it was not that easy at first, it took me nearly 5 months to cast my first full corporeal Petronus, and it took another 3 months to master Corporeal Petronus" she said
"But there was another Skill we all need to practice more than Petronus, it's called Occlumency" Harry said
"Occlumency?" one of the twins asked
"Occlumency, it was the very useful skill to have but restricted by Ministry, you need to register with Ministry if you manage to became Beginner Level Occlumens, this skill shields your mind against any intruders, it also improves your memory and focus, I am Intermediate Occlumens it helps me transform and maintain my ability, I can help you with basics that's all, after that it would be up to you, each person has their own strength and weakness, training in occlumency you need to face your own fears and emotions and acknowledge yourself, that was the most difficult part you would ever face, crossing that part you will master the skill" Tonks said
"Do you know any book we can read about the Occlumency" Hermione asked, Tonks sighed
"Sorry Hermione, as I said this was a restricted Skill so it was hard to get your hand on the copy of the book in any shops, if you are lucky Hogwarts Library would have one" Tonks said, Harry frowned and thought to buy the 3 books, but before that one of the Twins spoke up
"Well then we are in luck then-" George said
"-We have our own library that part of Hogwarts Library here" Fred finished
"I don't know, if it was restricted skill, it would be in Restricted section of Library, I doubt we have access to that here" Hermione said looking at the library door
"Well, let's get to next topic, Luna" Harry started and explained how she knows something different with him, and he also informed about her title of being Watcher
"Most of all, I see myself in her, she was lonely like me before I came to Hogwarts, so I want to invite her to join Guild" Harry said, he noticed both twins were serious
"Well, we know her, Luna and her father lives near Burrow, she used to play with Gin till 3 years ago, when she was at age 9 her mother passed away, she was Spell Crafter the spell she experimented exploded and Lunz witnessed her death, and since then mum tried to bring her home few days a week but she looked into space as if she can see things…. Only she can see" Fred trailed off
"Do you think she can see things we can't, I mean since we joined your guild, we can see these screens that only we can see, what if she was also same as you" George asked worried
"Well let's speak to her tomorrow" Harry said, but before he could say anything there was a knock on the door, everyone froze and stared at it and Harry, Tonks approached the door and opened and gasped, she sidesteps and letting everyone see who was at the door
"Sorry, bumbling humdingers said to me to come here and pace 3 times thinking to meet you, they say you want to speak with me" Luna said with her ever-present dreamy stare at Harry
Please Read and Review, Lets meet in next chapter
