Chapter 21: Duelling snakes (and Malfoy), petrified ghosts, and a lovely Christmas songNotes:

Good morning everyone. Have fun reading the latest chapter :)

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

In the first week of December, until now nothing new had happened at Hogwarts, the duo sat together with their three favourite professors, discussing what to do about Christmas. Doing the same thing like last year was maybe a stupid idea, they had no clue if Dumbles would prevent them from that. So, that made them consider staying, though the Grangers wouldn't be too happy about it. 

"Alright, I think that's the best idea. I'll write to my parents and inform them, okay?"

But then Minerva had a better suggestion: apparently she had connected her floo with the Granger fireplace just a few days ago (having the head of the DMLE on your side did have its perks) so she could floo-call them. They even put up spells so Dumbledore should not even realise it, and if then Minnie would come up with some excuse of what she had been doing. 

And so the bushy-haired girl kneeled down in front of Minerva's fireplace, threw in some floo-powder and said "Granger family home!"

Once she had stuck her head into the green flames and was - judging from the sound of it - talking to her very surprised mother, Harry got up. Even though he hid it most of the time, he was still the heir of two Marauders, and a third one was sitting right there.

"You know what Padfoot or Prongs would do right now, Moony?"

Remus threw a glance at him, thinking for a second, but then grinning.

Harry walked up to Mione, carefully so she wouldn't register his movements and then jumped forward, grabbing her by the waist and then pushing her into the green flames with a big grin.

 

Emma Granger was just talking to her daughter, which was a very interesting thing to do through a fireplace, when her little girl squeaked and rolled out of the fireplace, both laughing and shouting something along the lines of "Harry James Potter, you damn prat!" until she got up to hug her mother. 

 

"Okay, let me summarise that: you all want to stay at Hogwarts because the old meddler (yes, the Granger parents were very much aware of most of Dumbles' actions, they just didn't know about the time travel) is not happy with Harry visiting us? If you guys think that's the best thing to do, then go ahead. Maybe then Dan and I can finally go for that wellness vacation we've been wanting to do for years."

 

Once Mione had returned to Hogwarts - since the summer her parents were in possession of floo powder - she first went and punched Harry playfully on the shoulder, before informing all of them that they would stay at Hogwarts for Christmas. Minnie instantly put their names down, she'd start collecting the other names on the following day. 

This year, there were not many people staying for the holidays, even less than usual. Yes, Dumbledore still insisted that the school would be safe, but not many believed that. Ginny was staying too, apparently she had an argument with her mother (if Harry would have to guess, he would say it was about him and the failure of the potions. Maybe the girl would try something again over the holidays). Luna was staying too, just like Susan Bones (mainly because Amelia was staying at the castle for her investigations very often). Nev and Daphne both went home, they had told Harry and Hermione that their families would hold a Christmas party together. The potential union between the houses Longbottom and Greengrass was something that the families both wanted to happen, not only for their children's happiness, but also because of the political power. Together with Harry and his Lordships they would be the strongest alliance in the Wizengamot.

Aside from those, all the others who would stay were people Harry and Mione didn't know and were from upper years. This Christmas would be very interesting.

But before it was time for that, there were still some other things to do. One of them would be the duelling club. This time, thanks to Lockhart's absence, it was offered by Remus, and the attendance was even higher, so that not only Snape but Flitwick as well were assisting.

After an impressive display of Severus' Expelliarmus (Remus wasn't thrown backwards like Lockhart and it had taken Snape three tries to breach the werewolf's defences) they divided the students in three groups (years 1-3 with Remus, 4-5 with Flitwick and the 6-7 with Severus) to teach them some duelling techniques. Nothing special happened, they learned some new things and used it in partner work. Harry was paired with Dean Thomas and Mione with Parkinson, both playing down their skill and actually helping the others. Then Remus decided to let them duel each other (with strict rules obviously) in pairings he dictated.

Around half an hour later, when the teachers wanted to wrap it up for the day, Malfoy (the damn idiot) went up onto the duelling platform and addressed the room.

"Potter! I challenge you to a wizard's duel. Come on, don't be a coward and back out of it."

Even though he had wanted to avoid exactly this from happening, he knew that duelling Malfoy and showing off his Parsel abilities were essential for the timeline. But with so many more friends and a knowledge of what to do he should be able to keep the backlash from his "dark abilities" small.

Remus sighed, Fliwick looked surprised and Severus, wanting to keep his cover intact, allowed the duel. 

"Alright. Mr Potter, Mr Malfoy, I will be the referee. Duel until first blood is drawn. No permanent injuries and nothing illegal. Bow!"

 

Draco was the first one to fire a spell, but Harry just dodged it. None of the spells from the ferret were anyhow dangerous and Harry had to laugh inwardly. After a jelly-legs curse and a tickling charm Draco finally decided to change his strategy and yelled Serpensortia!

The huge dark grey snake jumped in Harry's direction and the young boy was able to see that Flitwick began to move, but Remus held him back. Draco was grinning, giving Harry the chance to throw a powerful Expelliarmus at him, knocking him off his feet. The blonde boy flew backwards and hit the floor so hard that his nose started to bleed. Harry had won, but the snake was still moving towards him.

"Stand down, my friend. I'm a speaker and you have to obey me."

"A speaker? How did I get here?"

"This blonde fella over there conjured you to aid him in his duel with me. He didn't know I'm a speaker. I will send you home, my friend, if that is what you desire. Please come here and leave the other younglings alone, they are afraid of you."

The snake obeyed and slithered towards Harry, then stopped in front of him and bowed. The students who had watched the duel were already murmuring about Harry's display of Parseltongue while he kneeled down, softly patted the snake's head and whispered the counter-spell to the conjuring.

Once he got up again, the whispers got louder, some people now openly accusing him of being evil and the heir or next Dark Lord. Ronald was - surprise, surprise - amongst the loudest voices, spouting his usual nonsense. Now both Lupin and Flitwick started to intervene, deducted points and handed out detentions.

"Come on, why do you all think I'm a Dark Lord? My parents died at the hands of one. And being the damn heir, are you all not able to think logically? My mom was a muggleborn, my best friend is a muggleborn and you all are convinced I want the death of muggleborns. How do you all arrive at your conclusions? And if you ask Malfoy, he will be able to tell you that I too am a descendant of the House of Black and Parseltongue has always been a rare genetic trait amongst Blacks."

Harry knew that this probably wasn't where he had it from, rather the Peverell and Slytherin ancestry, but it wasn't a lie.

Draco, slowly getting up now, nodded.

"Potter's right. Hate to admit it, but he's right. Good duel, Potter."

That response was something that no one had expected but the stupid ferret was growing weary of being embarrassed all the time. His mother - he had written to her about that issue - had told him to dial back his animosity if he wanted to save his status, regardless of what Lucius said. She often met with other parents from Hogwarts students at social events and was well aware that the Potter boy was powerful and had a strong social standing amongst all houses at Hogwarts, even some Slytherins. It would harm Draco's future if he continued this way. No, he wouldn't need to become friends with him, but at least he shouldn't try bullying him as much as the Weasley boy did. 

 

After the duelling club had ended, Snape took Malfoy aside and questioned him why he had acted the way he did after losing (after berating him for challenging Potter).

"Father wanted me to duel Potter, I knew that I would probably lose. But mother told me to stop bullying Potter that much because it seems my standing isn't so good anymore amongst the old families while Potter is getting popular. Even with Zabini and Greengrass for example. I've heard a rumour that Lord Greengrass even hosted Potter during the summer holidays. I don't want to embarrass myself as much as the damn blood traitor Weasley does. One day I'll be Lord Malfoy and Lord Black, I can't ruin my name."

 

Harry and Hermione found the whole thing utterly hilarious after Severus had told them that. It seemed like the ferret's Slytherin survival instincts had kicked in. 

What they also discussed on that evening was the other students' reaction to the Parseltongue. The snakes kept mostly quiet though some were a bit jealous. They all were well aware of genetic traits from the ancient houses and didn't really mind, some even had more respect for Potter now. 

The claws had done a check of Potter's ancestry as well as of the hereditary aspects of Parseltongue to prove his claims, and after establishing that he was correct they decided that they didn't really mind at all. Once the Hufflepuffs had heard of that they too decided that it wasn't Harry's fault that he possessed a power which was connoted dark. Most of the Puffs in Harry's year had said that all along, but now it was the overall consensus. All in all, no one from the three other houses did bully Harry because of that or even considered that he might be the heir. 

Only the lions weren't so sure about it. Yes, every house had a few people that disagreed with their house's view, but the lions were basically divided into two groups of remotely the same size. While the Quidditch team and most of Harry's year (all the girls but Parvati and Lavender, though the latter had no real side in the conflict and ignored it, but from the boys only Neville) were on his side, just like Percy, the opposing side had people like Ronald, Finnegan, Thomas, McLaggen, Ginny and most of her year as well as about a quarter of the higher years. 

This obviously led to some shouting matches in the common room and several attempts of sabotaging Harry's trunk and bed, though he was too greatly protected against it, as Ron had already found out during their first year.

A few people ended up in the Hospital Wing to get rid of the effects of the prank and protection spells, then McGonagall got wind of it and intervened. The trio and Daphne had spent a free period after breakfast on the day after the duelling club incident in the Room of Requirement (about which they had finally told Nev and Daphne so they could study better), meaning they didn't even realise that seven different people had tried sabotaging Harry's trunk. Yes, he had a notification charm on it but since he had expected something like that to happen, he had adjusted it so he would only get notified if it was breached. Once Minnie sent them a patronus message to inform them about it, they immediately hurried down to her office. 

To be honest, Harry and Mione found the idiocy of some lions pretty funny, as well as the story that Minnie told them. Apparently Ronald and Finnegan also had had another attempt at Harry's trunk, obviously not successful, but Ronald ended up with a bright glowing red nose - again. Even though he had tried, he didn't get through the common room undetected and some muggleborn fifth year started chanting a variation of something that was apparently a famous muggle Christmas song, at least that's what Minnie had been told. Most halfbloods and muggleborns had started singing along and Ronald Weasley had to escape the common room, absolutely embarrassed. 

Mione couldn't hold back the question and asked what they had been singing, and Minnie's reply led to her and Harry bursting out in laughter. It seemed like Hogwarts had found a new favourite Christmas tune.

It was called Ronald, the red-nosed reindeer.

 

The evening of said day came closer and both Harry and Hermione were pretty nervous about it. If the timeline was still somehow intact, then Justin Finch-Fletchley would turn up petrified, as well as Sir Nicholas. Yes, this time around no one claimed that Harry had wanted to attack Justin with the snake, but he was still afraid of some more backlash now that everyone knew he was a Parselmouth. If anyone would figure out that the beast was a basilisk… 

That's why Harry decided to spend most of the afternoon and evening (aside from the classes obviously) in the great hall, studying with Daphne, Neville, Mione, Susan and Hannah. Unfortunately, even Ronald was there, playing wizard's chess with Finnegan and complaining loudly about Snakes (and Claws and Puffs, but mainly about the "slimy snakes") at the Gryffindor table. Thankfully Harry was quite skilled with putting up a silencing charm around the redhead. Fred and George would have probably thought that that was very funny, Percy would have sighed and said "I get it, Harry, I'm sorry for his behaviour" and Ginny would have gone crazy and yelled at Harry. But none of that happened, Ronald was the only redhead in the great hall around now.

They were able to spend even more time in the great hall than on a usual Friday, because thanks to the awful blizzard outside the last herbology class of this term got cancelled. That meant that the only class this afternoon would be transfiguration, but before they were heading to Minnie's classroom they saw Hagrid coming into the great hall, looking for Dumbledore. 

To be honest, Harry wasn't really too friendly with Hagrid this time around and had tended to ignore most of his invitations, simply because the half-giant was Dumbledore's man through and through and because Harry couldn't forgive him the whole "stealing him out of Sirius' arms and leaving him at the Dursleys." He didn't hate Hagrid, no, but they just weren't close.

Ronald, who on the other hand was close with Hagrid, got up (outside of the range of the silencing charm) and asked what was wrong. The half-giant held up two dead roosters and told Weasley (and by that the whole room since he couldn't talk quietly) that someone or something had killed them. He was now asking for Dumbles' help to protect his precious animals.

Harry turned to Mione and whispered into her ear.

"Do you think that the old meddler wouldn't figure out that the beast is a basilisk. Petrification, dead rooster and disappearing spiders, like Severus said, and we all know that Slytherins's symbol is a snake."

Mione agreed, a man as smart as Dumbledore should figure that out.

"Yes, but he must know that Tom claimed to be Slytherin's heir, and I mean he was until he "died." I guess he just wants you to confront him. If he only knew that you're the righteous Lord Slytherin… that would be funny."

That fact had already led to a discussion with Daphne and Neville after the whole Halloween incident, because they knew that he was Lord Slytherin. Not that they thought he was guilty, but just to make sure. They told them about Tom (since they knew of his return after the whole stone incident) and the basilisk as well as the Parseltongue but insisted on keeping that quiet. Since McGonagall, Snape, Lupin and Amelia Bones knew about it the two kids agreed and trusted the judgement of the adults.

 

Now, as the transfiguration class was about to begin, all the Gryffindor and Slytherin in the great hall got up and went towards Professor McGonagall's classroom. They started with some repetition before starting to study the softening charm. That one they already learned in first-year charms class, but only the basics, now on a more elaborate level. But once they started reading the chapter in their school book, Cedric Digorry rushed into the classroom.

"Mr. Diggory? What makes you think you can just interrupt my lesson? If it's urgent, at least knock."

He was out of breath and seemed to be completely rattled. 

"Apologies, Professor. Professor Snape insisted that I should get you. There has been another petrification, it's Justin Finch-Flechley. He was late on his way to Charms and never arrived. It was Moaning Myrtle that informed us about his petrification."

Minnie got up and dismissed the class, though ordering them to stay in here until a professor or prefect would escort them to their common rooms, but Cedric wasn't done yet. 

"Professor, it wasn't only Justin, who got petrified. Sir Nicholas too."

 

After news of that broke, the whole castle was in uproar. How the hell could someone petrify a ghost? The only positive thing that came with that was that Ronald had to admit (after accusing Harry loudly) that he had seen Harry all afternoon in either the great hall, on their way to class or in class. That did calm down most of the Lions that were against Harry, but there was still animosity.

That luckily changed only a few days later, not because all those idiots realised that they were idiots, but because they all went home for Christmas. Suddenly Harry had peace and quiet in the castle. The - usually pretty loud - Gryffindor common room was silent and empty, giving the duo much time to study and prepare, but also to relax. The occasional appearance of Ginny Weasley had hardly any influence on that. She mostly disappeared for hours and took her meals quietly and quickly. 

Tracey and Lisa Turpin had spontaneously decided to stay too. Well, decide was the wrong word, in both cases the parents had written to the head of houses. In Lisa's case it had something to do with troubles at home. The girl was a halfblood living in a muggle area and apparently had been bullied all summer. Her parents had used the usual "my kid's going to a special school for gifted kids" excuse like everyone else did, but her childhood friends didn't believe that and made fun of her all summer long. The Turpins had hoped that would stop after Lisa went back to school and they had a conversation with the other parents, but recently got wind that the kids' mindset hadn't changed so they asked Lisa if it'd be okay if she stayed for Christmas, for her sake. It was actually so bad at home that the whole issue with the petrifications was the lesser evil.

In Tracey's case it had been a family emergency, for which her parents had to travel to relatives in Italy in the week before Christmas and since the Davis family wasn't wealthy they couldn't afford an international portkey for their daughter on such short notice. Usually, when things like that happened, Tracey stayed at Daphne's, but that was still not something she wanted to do. 

 

The atmosphere on Christmas eve was…interesting. Dumbledore did try to engage in conversation with Harry, but the boy politely declined always, still upset at the fact that they couldn't be at the Grangers' right now. Not that the company was too bad, but there was still a major part of the family missing. At least they had some nice conversations with Luna, Susan and Lisa (who warmed up to them after a while). Ginny and Tracey both sat alone, and all the other students they didn't really know were in their separate groups.

Once the feast was over, Harry and Hermione left the hall to reconvene with the professor trio in the Room of Requirement, but they didn't really had a chance to get rid of the other three students until Amelia Bones, still staying most of the time at Hogwarts (both for work and annoying Dumbledore) saved them. The head of the DMLE invited her niece and the two Ravenclaw girls into her quarters to celebrate on a smaller scale. She then threw a glance at Harry and Hermione, telling them to go up there and meet the others. It was pretty good to have her on board.

 

In the Room the five of them were served some more food and beverages by friendly elves, before it was time to exchange gifts and later hand them over to the elves so they would end up underneath the tree in the morning. Overall it was a very nice evening with a lot of storytelling by the professors and a lot of laughter.

 

The next morning both kids got up early to unpack their gifts. Somehow they managed to arrive in the common room at exactly the same time, grinned at each other and started to unwrap the presents.

Most of it were books or sweets, but the Grangers had both gotten them some new muggle winter clothing. From Severus came a commented version of the OWL Potions book for each of them, both being copies from the book Lily and Severus had shared that year. Despite the fact that she had made a lot of notes in hers (which Harry had), Severus' notes were even more advanced and brilliant. Minnie and Remus had worked together on one present, a new and advanced version of the communication mirrors that the Marauders had back then. This one was unbreakable, could dial several people at once, had a vibration function when getting called and had a heavy notice-me-not charm on it.

Mione's gift for Harry was something she had created herself. While looking through the Room of Hidden Things she found a (destroyed) set of cufflinks with a house crest on them. Minnie had managed to return them to the current Lord Yaxley (not the executioner, but his uncle. At least a little less evil), but that got her thinking. Yes, Harry was wearing ancient Potter cufflinks when wearing a formal robe, but she decided that once they wouldn't have to hide anymore and he could wear nice robes more often (by now he actually preferred them over muggle clothing). For that he would need another set of cufflinks. So she put her transfiguration skills to good use and created a pair, resembling an otter on the back of a stag, their two patronus animals. They were actually even able to move and constantly danced around, a symbol for their friendship and all the joy and happiness. 

Harry absolutely loved his present and then watched Mione as she opened his gift. Since she always complained about missing her favourite music and the Wireless being full with a lot of horrible wizard music, he created a musical jukebox around the size of a book which could play her favourite songs. It had been a very exhausting process, collecting those titles (secret trips via house elves into the muggle world on weekends) and getting the crystals to save the songs. Then he only needed a speaker, which he based on the concept of the Wizarding Wireless, and then he was done.

As one might expect, both kids were pretty surprised and happy about each other's gifts, but what they didn't know until the evening was that Severus was even happier about his present than they were about theirs. Since they learned that he was a huge Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fan, they purchased an old collection of the complete works of Conan Doyle. That was probably the best gift Severus had ever gotten.

 

The girl with the diary continued to complain to it every single day, not noticing how much weaker she got. It drained her, weakening her core and lifeforce. Unless someone took it from her, he would have enough power to leave the diary and take physical form by the end of February or mid of March. Then the world would finally see that he was truly invincible. He, Tom Riddle, Lord Voldemort, would come back and rule over all wizards, he would purify the wizarding society. Dumbledore would fall, and with him all the other muggle lovers.

Notes:

So, that's it for this week. As always, looking forward to your comments.

See ya all next week
