Halloween

So after my sermon of the Dao of bullshit the staff of Hogwarts had to make some decisions. Firstly Drako leaked everything like a blabber mouth that he is so now all the pure bloods are giving me both dirty looks and fearful ones. The dirty ones are from the people who don't know what an inferius is.

The teachers chose to give me a wide birth as they can guess I have a lot of emotional baggage, The Jon snow in that timeline worked it out during his decades in the true north so I don't have any mental trauma. Though I do have an overwhelming desire for constant vigilance.

The teachers give me lighter homework than everyone else which means more time for studying. I made some head way on all fields of research which had led to the current activity I'm planning for Samhain or halloween. There was a lot of choices such as a night vision ritual, an impurity cleansing ritual, a familiar contracting ritual (I already have kahoot and Tyrian though) and lastly an omni lingual ritual.

I'm going with the omni lingual ritual which needs to be performed on a Sabbat. There was two rituals on the book concerning language that I could learn. The first was called language inheritance where two parities stand in a circle and share their knowledge of a language with each other, this spell even works for magical languages however it requires equal trade otherwise one person might lose their native tongue.

The second is the Sabbat ritual which allows the user to learn every muggle language as long as the ingredients are met. There are eight days in the Sabbat which means I need 8 tongues. They don't need to be human so I asked the elves to gather some for me.

I got cow, sheep, pig, duck, cat, goat and yak tongue. The elves had to import the Moose tongue meaning I missed the chance to perform the ritual on Mabon.

The right Days of Sabbat are: Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Mabon and Samhain. So I have numerous chances to learn the languages however the sooner I do the sooner I can learn material in other languages. Hogwarts has quite a collection of Bulgarian and French books.

They collected a lot of books in other languages, I could abuse my occulemency and learn the dictionaries of each language like Doctor strange however this way seems cooler. Plus having these learned will allow me to insult people in any language, the quidditch World Cup will be soon so this is a necessary skill.

Dumbledore may even push to include the other wizarding schools that they have invited in the past to compete. The record was 11 schools which included;

Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, Castelobruxo, Ilvermorny, Jordan, Koldovstoretz, Shanghai, Mahoutokoro, Oceania and Ugadou.

The hardest to learn will no doubt be Oceania's language, from my inspection the language is mainly composed of three words "yeah nah, Nah yeah and cunt" but they seem to have multiple meanings. Only a ritual can help me learn this speech!

This ritual also comes with an added bonus off other people being allowed to participate. The maximum is 8 and I gathered 7. Me, Mordred, Hermione, Susan Bones (study buddy), Neville Longbottom (room mate) , Harry and Hagrid. I couldn't not include Hagird! He's going to be dating a french woman, it's prudent he knows when her girlfriends are talking trash to his face in their native language.

I've seen Kaguya Sama: Love is war, I'm not letting Hagrid be like Miyuki shirogane when that french bitch roasts him to his face. So Hermione told him about the ritual when we went to visit him. I met Hagrid because of Dumbledore.

You see good ol dumbledick decided our sparring needs a chaperone. None of the professors were willing and he didn't feel the need to stop sucking on 'lemon drops'. So Hagrid was elected, the first time was a disaster. He wasn't actually afraid of what was happening because all he saw was us blurring and then dust clouds rising.

The problem came when he invited us to his cabin afterwards for a cup of tea. We didn't turn him down, the problem came when we both spat his tea out. He looked at us so off the top of my head I said "this tea is too weak, can't even drink it. You may have given us water instead." He looked offended that I referred to his drinks as weak.

Mordred seeing my excuse nodded along, so Hagrid for us a stronger drink. He thought we may have bluffed him so he decided to give us a glass of fire whiskey and called it pumpkin juice. When I drank it I smacked my lips "not bad, has a little rhubarb after taste. I thought this was the strongest you had, I could drink this all day. You sure you haven't got anything stronger Hagrid?"

He narrowed his eyebrows and spoke in the same tone he did when he threatened the Dursley's "are you saying I have weak guts?" "Does a dragon egg needed to be hatched in high heat?" "I'll drink you under the table boy!"

This led to me and him having a drinking contest, I won! I had two distinct advantages over the half giant. The first is that I could use mana burst to process the alcohol much faster, the second is that I'm from Westeros where wine is literally like water. We managed to find some in the true north for gods sake.

Watching a black out drunk hagrid moaning in the infirmary about stomach pains was hilarious. Madam pomfrey didn't know how to react to the sight. When she asked what we drank I simply handed her a list of ingredients that we poured into the cauldron. We jungle juiced! Mordred was also in a similar state to hagrid as she kept throwing up and demanding ice.

Once their hang overs passed they refused to ever go drinking with me again. Dumbledore was calculating whether it would be best to send me to negotiate with giants instead of Hagrid should the need arise. Hagrid also swore to never visit Westeros after I informed him of how my families drinking habits weren't that bad compared to the others, specifically the Lannister's.

Now then onto the present, it's Halloween today and I've gathered all the necessary ingredients for the ritual tonight. It's to be performed on the first floor garden, Harry convinced (tricked) Ron that we were going to show off our battle magic on the seventh floor that night at midnight. During class Mordred rubbed some Tuna paste on his robes that way Mrs Norris will chase after him.

Professor Flitwick decided to recover the levitation charms today to make sure everyone has been practicing. Hermione corrected Ron who was just shaking his twig at the feather. After class was over he talked shit behind her back which made her cry. She ran off the toilets which earned Ron the glares off every woman in Gryffindor.

Hermione has toned down the snobbishness over the course of the month which made her rather sociable among our year. Mordred decided to go keep her company while Harry and I decided to swipe some sweets for them.

We sat in the great hall sampling each of the delicacies that the elves had crafted from around the world. There was Portuguese custard tarts, Italian tiramisu, Indian Gulab Jamun, American S'mores, Spainish Churros, Australian Lamingtons, South African Malva pudding, Baklava, rum cake, Carmel Apples which I ate like Adam for ROR, halo halo from the Philippines and lastly some cannolis.

As we were snacking the dark arts idiot stormed in "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!!! Thought you should know" then passed out like a pussy. Dumbledore quickly took charge of the situation and instructed the house heads to escort the students to their houses.

Wait wasn't the slytherin and Hufflepuff houses located in the Dungeons? Whatever. Harry wanted to go find hermione but I grabbed his shoulder. He turned and said "shouldnt' we go help her". I looked at him while chomping on an apple "she has a Mordred. What could possibly happen to her with Mordred there."

He froze and ran the math in his head before slowly sitting down, as we were being escorted to the common room we heard a *boom* and I just grinned. Half an hour later the two girls came into the common room. Hermione kept looking at Mordred our of the corner of her eyes with awe and a little worship. Uh oh hope this doesn't go where I think it does.

Harry snapped her out of it by asking what was wrong and she explained that Mordred tossed the troll through a wall by flipping it by its arms. She just looked smug so I chopped her down "was that meant to be an accomplishment?"

Hermione looked like she was going to argue till Mordred purses her lips and pouted "no it wasn't Jon! I'm just glad our friends safe!" "Then what was that smug look?" "That's my face" "I'd assumed you'd be depressed about missing all the sweets". She froze and then looked down so I reached into my pockets and grabbed some stuff then stuck my cannoli in her face~.

She slurped the cream right out of it before having an orgasmic expression. After that she licked my apples clean and slurped the custard from the tart.

"Alright enough foreplay! Harry grab Neville cause we have a ritual to do in 2 hours. I already sent a note to Susan. Hagrid is downstairs 'patrolling'."

For the next two hours the staff at hogwarts were in disarray, most went to check the surroundings to see how the troll got in, others went to their houses to reassure them, Hagrid was checking the gardens, Dumbledore was sucking his lemon drops and Quirrel was talking to the voice in his head.

Near midnight we left the room sneakily whilst Harry told Ron to head to the seventh floor for the demonstration. After sneaking down we saw Susan and hagrid waiting. He handed me the bag of ingredients so I began prepping the ritual.

I drew the circle and the runes required before placing the tongues and other herbs in the bowls. After that I had everyone join hands, at 11:59 the circle began to glow so I began speaking in Gaelic.

" spirits of the Harvest hear our prayer,

We come with gifts as without we wouldn't dare

Let your power help us to truly speak

The future without looks truly bleak

We come offering a measly sacrifice

These tongues should satisfy the price

We ask you teach us tongues of other lands

So that we may complete our future plans

The season approaches, the time of ice

So we beg the spirits, those wise!

Please grant us the power over the tongue!

So that more offerings and rituals can be done!"

And without the circle lit on fire, the ingredients melted and spun into the circle before matching onto me. The mixture already down my head to my shoulders before passing through my hands connecting to the others. We closed our eyes as our brains began to warm, we felt magic gather in the cerebral cortex, specifically the Wernicke's area.

Once the clock hand moves past 12:00 to 12:01 the feeling began to vanish and everyone released each other's arms. Susan then asked "did it work?" So I opened a french book, I could understand all off it like it was normal English so I nodded.

We all let out a cheer till we heard a scream from the top of the tower followed by a pissed of cat noise. That was our cue to leave, we bid each other good night. Hagrid took Susan back to her dorm, their excuse was that hagrid wanted to inspect the common room for any traces. No one was going to argue with the grounds keeper.

Hagrid wasn't going to blab about the ritual as he felt it helped him a lot. Now he could drink with people all over the world and not offend anybody without thinking. Well at least not more than before.

The next morning we found that Ron was in the infirmary, Mrs Norris had found him and attacked him. She clawed her way into his trousers and went nuts. What the fuck did Mordred mix into the Tuna paste. When I asked she just snickered and replied "nepeta Cataria Magixanus" an herb used in herbology that makes cats trip out and get aggressive.

It was developed to help cat magical creatures release certain chemicals that are valuable. She punched some from a greenhouse. I felt a little sorry for Ron until I thought it would have been hilarious if scabbers was with him. Now I need to start research on other subjects that I can read now.
