23 Ritual 2 out of 7

—Harry Pov —

It's funny seeing all of the mayhem my persona Jack Sparrow has caused, he originally was made for me to vent my frustrations and do things I don't want to be associated with myself, not like they will be bad, but Jack Sparrow is just a more laid back outlet for me, of course seeing as now I have become famous for two different people one being me and the other Jack of course then I want to explore the paths for both.

But, right now I want to focus on myself, soon the ritual will commence and I need everything to be perfect.

Standing in the middle of the ritual room, the circle has been made. For this particular ritual, the circle isn't needed as much for the actual ritual but to enhance the experience. It will aid me in feeling what has happened to my body and keep my magic from going past a certain point that could end up fatal.

The circle will also purge my body and make my overall body more adaptable if that's a way to put it. Much like those 'adaptable body' skills in fanfiction, this circle will make it so my body only fights against harmful changes but accepts positive ones.

I took out the venom and blood I have collected from myself, then I took out an ancient bronze chalice, engraved upon the metal were several numbers and enchantments making it able to hold any liquid to perform rituals and connect with the drinker's magic.

It is a Potter family artifact and was used in the olden days by Gerhard Potter it is said he was a savage and a true warrior, he slew his enemies and drank their blood from his chalice. It is said that originally he did it for the battle but eventually because of his traditions the chalice became magical, a conduit for a ritual. Every time Gerhard drank the blood from his enemies he became stronger, faster, and all the more deadly.

The crazy bastard would rush into fights with his bare hands utterly crushing his enemies, upon his death the chalice was kept and safely housed. Apparently, even the Goblins of that time would be respectful to him and cower in his presence.

I don't know how much of the tale is true but, that is a pretty dare I say it wicked history.

Anyhow, I began by pouring my blood into the chalice followed by my basilisk blood and then the venom, I could see my magic interacting with the chalice lastly, I poured Dracula's blood into the chalice. I could instantly see a change it was like the blood was fighting my blood and the basilisk components. Soon a whirlpool began to shape inside and I began to chant in old welsh,

"gwaed fy nghorff marwol, gwenwyn basilisg, gwaed basilisg, a gwaed Dracula. dyro imi rym a thaflu'r corff hwn o'm coil marwol!" (translation: blood of my mortal body, venom of a basilisk, blood of a basilisk, and blood of Dracula. grant me power and shed this body of my mortal coil.)

After I chanted I downed the contents of my ritual in one swift movement. Nothing happened it was as if time itself froze. Then my body burnt, my cells, my skin, my everything felt like the sun itself was pouring endlessly into my body.

Then it happened, I was standing in a Colosseum, I could see a human snake and a vampire fighting in deep combat. Blows were being thrown endlessly. No spells just pure unbridled physical might.

I looked down and saw my reflection in a puddle, my skin looked clean, and my hair was still black but it felt more proper? My eyes now slit like a snake, more specifically a basilisk, my now vertically slit eyes had the golden, yellow, and orange glow of my Animagus.

The fangs protruding from my mouth were curved like a serpent, I looked simply sinful.

The best part is I don't look so different that it's to the point where no one would recognize me.

I gazed upwards back to the fight, both sides raging on in a fight of supremacy.

I sprinted forwards and into the fight, my body was extremely fast I was upon them in seconds.

My body lowered to an awkward running position, it was as if I was slithering while running.

I moved in silently below both opposing forces and struck, my hands were like whips as they slashed and cut both sides with pinpoint precision.

*shinnk* blood flowed from both the vampire and the human snake. I looped around the vampire and constricted its movements much like how a serpent would, I sunk my fangs into the vampire and drained its blood all the while the human snake was standing there as if it was frozen, I don't know what happened but as soon as my fangs entered the vampire's neck the Human snake hybrid froze.

I couldn't taste anything as I drained the vampire, soon it crumbled Into dust, and right at that moment, the human snake hybrid lunged at me.

*swoosh* I dodged expertly and then attacked my arms were like vicious snakes attacking from impossible angles and my legs were like cannons.

he attacked from my left side, *swoosh*

the attack was upon me, I planted my left leg on the ground and swung my right leg out tilting my whole body to the right as I did so, the momentum from my kick carried my leg through the air. *BAM* my kick landed on the hybrid sending it flying back.

I chased in haste, closing in fast I plunged my fangs into its neck. Soon the human snake hybrid too turned into dust.

The whole fight was purely based on my instinct, it was surreal, to say the least.

I stood firmly in the Colosseum, I felt powerful!

Then I blacked out.

[hours later]

I awoke in my bed, I guess Dobby left me here. I got up and looked in the mirror. The only difference is my fairer skin and my eyes were magnificent, they were still killing curse green but wisps of orange, yellow, and gold flicked across them constantly. Truly a magical sight.

I willed my body on instinct and all of a sudden my eyes slit and my fangs grew, and my fingernails sharpened as well. I looked handsome but dangerous.

(a/n: literally spent 30 mins looking for a cool picture and found none so if you all found something cool just use that!)

I didn't feel the 'thirst' for blood, but I felt I could drink it as a nice snack.

Time to check on my stats,

[Status:

Name: Hadrian James Potter

Race: Vampire/basilisk hybrid (Magical)

Hp: 100/100

Mp:7000/7000

Strength: low superhuman

Speed: medium superhuman+

Dexterity: medium superhuman +

Stamina: low superhuman +

Animagus: basilisk

Wand: thestral hair core, yew wood, silver linings, basilisk venom binding agent, 12 1/2 inches, flexible]

Huh, what the fuck does a plus mean?

[User, the plus means you have gotten close to breaking into the next stage. Reason for it not appearing before superhuman is because all human-level stats were broken through cleanly. Your superhuman stats with the plus have not yet reached the next level but did increase.]

Huh? Interesting so it seems I am close to high superhuman in stamina, speed, and dexterity. I can also feel the increase in my magic, all of these feelings of getting stronger a quite intoxicating.

[the next day]

I sat at the breakfast table slowly eating my scrambled eggs, I took a sip of my drink the fruity taste was what first hit me followed by a nice burn that seemed to pick up my mood. Poison, that is what I am drinking, I don't know why but u had an urge to drink the mambas kiss, it's a poison I nicked off of a local of Knockturn alley. More accurately the vampire I beat up as Jack Sparrow, I honestly unconsciously did it, it's a nasty habit but, at least I got a nice drink out of it.

Back to my urge to drink the mambas kiss a poison that uses the venom of a Black Mamba, I don't know why but I just woke up feeling like it was safe and I should do it.

I guess because I am a Basilisk vampire or should I say Basilispire, yeah that's a shitty name. But anyway, I guess because basilisks are the most venomous beast in the world I am immune to most poisons and venom. I say most because I'm really not sure if there is or isn't something more venomous. well time to get back to training and studying.

[the next day]

I decided to visit Britain today, the sun is out and I'm feeling like a visit to the mundane world. People walked past me and turned, yes I look about 14-15 but I'm only 13 and my skin is quite fair toeing the line on downright pale. But honestly, the dragon heart ritual will fix the paleness, the dragon heart ritual will give me more vitality, stamina, and strength. The difference between the ritual I just performed and the Dragon one is that the Dragon one focuses on being a warrior while the vampire one is more sleek and speedy. Combining them together and bam you get a powerhouse with both speed, strength, and vitality.

As I walked toward the supermarket I heard a conversation going on between a couple of mundane people. I could pick up the conversation because of my enhanced senses, hearing obviously being one of them.

"Did you set the charge?" one man said

"Yeah, it's all set be ready to make a quick getaway." the other answered

Both looked at each other and clasped their hands into a tight hug/ handshake.

"We are the liberators of Britain." one said calmly with determination lacing him voice

"and we have come to bring down the fake royalty." the other finished the first sentence

I looked over to where the charge could be set and I saw it, the building was a damn hotel.

Well, option one is to silently take their lives and option two is to save the people inside while looking like a terrorist and getting a shit tone of fame points.

Yeah, option 2 for the win.

A/N: so about the relationship parings mc is going to once a decent age of course sleep around a bit then end up paired with someone for the remainder. And before someone says a lot of innocent people might die with option 2 don't worry I got it covered😉
