Chapter 15: Chrismasssss
Christmas is here and I am exhausted! Hagrid decided to let me chop all the damn trees and haul them back while he nipped off for a pint. On the plus side I did get to learn the decoration charms. They are variants of the levitation charms, colouring charms, a snow fall/powder charm and lastly a lumos charm called lumos combrava that allowed me to place tiny twinkling lights inside the tree so it looks like there's actual spirits inside.
After returning to the common room I found Mordred lazing around with her pet cat Morty and my Tyrian. Ron and Harry are playing wizards chess though Ron looks disgruntled. Mordred is a master of strategy so she trashed him every time they play. Plus she enjoys the smashing animations so she abuses the shit out of her queen.
Hermione and Neville came down "what are you doing? None of you are packed!" Exclaimed hermione. Before anyone could reply Mordred chimes in while playing with the cats paws "Ron got dumped here while the rest of the family went to Romania and the rest of us are orphans so the best we could do is shack up in a hotel and go shopping."
Not true! We could spend it in the inner world! Zeus even left Christmas gifts, culture DVD's. Though I'm mildly convinced that he sent us those as they might be the next world after this one. I can still educate Mordred though, she loves movie night. I quite like being her body pillow when she watches the HP movies with fantastic beasts included.
"Well it's up to you lot to go find more on Flammel, the books should be kept in the restricted section." I rolled my eyes at that as I kicked my boots off. I plopped down next to Mordred and opened my parseltongue book. I have other plans for tonight though I also want to see the cloak.
After the people with families cleared out we all just spent the day chilling. I messed around with cryomancy making ice cubes in some drinks. The next ritual I have planned is on New Year's Eve. It's a cold resistance ritual that would make it so someone could go streaking in the french alps without any problems. I discovered it researching Nicholas Flammel who was the creator.
The looks the elves gave me when I walked in asking for emperor penguin organs. The elves had divided themselves into factions based on where they studied new cuisine. So everyone was dressed in either an Italian bespoke suit, a french maid outfit, a Japanese house wife getup or a dress that looks straight out of octoberfest. I swore I saw some smoking some ziti wrapped in rocchetti.
Enough about my cooking classes, Mordred also found a breakthrough in her Arthurian studies. She recalled Merline establishing a base in Gaul which was meant as a safe house. When we checked it's current location we discovered its current location to be..... the palace of Versailles. Fuck that's gonna be hard to get to right now so we're going travelling in the summer.
I'm already making preparations for it while Mordred trains her body. She doesn't do morning training anymore. Occulemency hacks means she doesn't study and she stole an enchanted quill from a slytherin fourth year who came onto her. People still don't know how he ended up in the toilet to this day.
Frankly the homework we get assigned is atrocious, Snape is our to get us and that bloody ghost doesn't have a fucking clue about anything. He demands mountains off homework, I tried going overboard on it like some people in fanfics but Snape increased the workload for everybody. Rich fucker has auto grading quills so I'm going to steal them and reprogram them later.
A few hours later Ron invites us downstairs to open our Christmas presents. We get a lot of sweets from our friends in the year while Mordred gets betrothal contracts and gifts, they stalk the fire nicely. The fact that some of the sweets she got combusted like a petrol bomb means that they were heavily potioned. She's adding those families to her hit list.
When Harry read aloud his card from Dumbledore he tried on the cloak. "Ron help?!?" "Blimey Harry you've lost Your body?!" Mordred then screamed "your dick fell off!!!!" And then he really panicked while I laughed so hard. I then explained it's an invisibility cloak, Aurors have them but his one seems a lot stronger. I then pointed out some tracking wards in them.
Yes I can identify them now, they're kind basic bitch to be perfectly honest. Dumbledore put them there more off as an open insult to the wearers im guessing. No one takes up ward crafting except for people studying ancient runes, he knows Harry won't pick that. I in the other hand get gifted some nice books from the older Gryffindor girls for being nice. Or maybe it's just me walking around top less in the morning after a workout. Either way I'm pretty good at spotting wards now.
He scratched them out causing them to deactivate and then dawned the cloak before saying he's going to check in the restricted section. I waved him off while the other two tucked into the sweets.
I decided to slip out myself and head to the fifth floor, I know that Harry would be dealing with filch and the two edgelords meaning I was free to mess around. You guessed it, I'm going to the broken bathroom to check out the chamber of secrets.
I'm still curious about why Voldemort didn't open it this year in person and then uses quirrel as cover for it. It worked with the damn troll after all! after entering the birthday I heard crying so I looked at the open stall. Moaning Myrtle in all her moaning glory was crying about being alone on Christmas.
"Hey how's it going" I said snapping her out of her funk immediately. "Who are you?" She asked in a seductive ish tone. "I'm Jon Snow and I know things".
She then floated over to me "such as?" "How you really died myrtle". She froze and looked at me in horror, you see ghosts can tether themselves to this plane for a number of reasons. The main one being unfinished business. That reminds me, I need to show Mordred Casper the friendly ghost later.
Myrtles unfinished business is not knowing how she died, she can recall it but she doesn't know the cause. It's why she's always thinking about death and crying over it. There was no witnesses so she's tethered to hogwarts forever. That never stopped her perving on students though.
She demand to know how she died so I showed her. "Myrtle see the mark on this sink, the symbol for a snake. If someone speaks parseltongue in this room the chamber of secrets opens and the monster inside gets out. The monster was a basilisk, the kind of snake that can kill with-".
"A glance, it's also weak to roosters. I remember studying it. A parsel mouth opened the chamber and I was in the crosshairs. Do you know who opened it Jon. I'd be ever so grateful if you told me who did it~".
With a smug look I said "Tom Marvolo Riddle, currently possessing the DADA teacher. He doesn't have a body right now." "The sexy prefect Tom Riddle?" The ghost grinned wickedly before glowing and changing form. It was like the old ghost busters movie where the librarian ghost changes into the monster. Myrtle just changed into a wraith from a ghost. Her business changed from finding out her murderer to torturing him. Best part is a wraith can hurt tommy boy a lot as he's technically a wraith himself right now.
I watched as she flew away from her bathroom towards the Dark arts room. She broke her domain which confirms the change in species. I grinned before speaking "hhhhhheeessssssśssssaiii. Sssssahhhhhhvvvvvvvaaaasssss". But nothing happened. "Tch my pronunciation is still off, I need to practice with a real snake. I imagine Hagrid could help but he's away on a pub crawl with his friends celebrating".
So I swaggered back to Gryffindor common room glad to know Myrtle is going to possibly try and rape Tom. She can actually touch him now after all. As I was about to crawl under the covers Harry kicks open the door "Jon you won't believe it! I found my parents!" My mind legit blue screened before it loaded the mirror of Erise memory. "Let's wake the others then Harry!"
