Chapter 10 - The Deal

When Harry walked into the Hogwarts library, he could only be amazed as he watched books float about. Some he had no doubt belonged in the restricted section or returning to the selves due to a lazy student. It was truly a wonderful sight as it was more active than during his time during the summer.

With a small wave, Madam Pince just followed him with her eyes as he vanished into the shelves. After searching a few tables, he found Daphne chatting with Katie since they both left the hall before him. On the table a couple books with a black band on its spine sat between them notifying him they were from the restricted section. How Daphne got them he didn't know but maybe he could get Dumbledore to give him access.

Sliding into the empty chair, Harry quickly threw up the ward engraved on the table. He wished he learned about it during the first time around but they are mostly used by fifth and seventh years. The two years he couldn't really use them due to Umbridge and hunting down Riddle's Horcruxes.

"About time you got here Potter." Daphne sighed but sent him a smile.

"Daphne, it was nice talking to you but Harry has a favor to ask." Katie asked politely.

"She's fine since it sort of involves her to Katie." Harry said as he saw his fellow Gryffindor start getting up.

"Last I checked Harry you didn't like the Slytherin house or any of its members. Well that's what the youngest Weasley son says."

"I only dislike certain members and a certain potion professor, anyways I digress. This is going to be one of the most embarrassing and probably quite a few favors to repay it."

"That solves that issue however before we continue to explain the favor we need a vow of silences. We cannot have this favor getting out." Daphne looked straight into the dirty blonde chocolate eyes.

A frown appeared on the thirteen year old lips as she looked at him confused. "This is a serious matter as vows shouldn't be made lightly."

"Oh, this is a very serious and most likely deadly matter. Which is why I am asking as you can tell no one except others we will bring in later." Daphne said, sliding her a parchment.

In front of her was a very craftly oath that covered all bases and offered the girl a way out in the future. The oath would just block her from telling others and cause her a bit of pain should she try and break it. Neither Harry or Daphne would want to put the young girl at risk of either death or losing her magic after all from blabbing on accident.

"Very well," Katie pulled out her wand and gave the oath which didn't give off any flashy light or scene. Just a small pop at the end of her wand saying it has been placed. "So what is this favor about?"

"You need to sleep with him," Daphne jabbed her thumb towards Harry. "If not he could be either in immense pain or dead by tomorrow."

Harry blushed slightly at the bluntness as Katie stiffened as a full body blush took over her light skin.

"What are you talking about? Like sleep in the same bed or what the older students brag about." she squeaked.

"Fine, I need you to rip off his clothes, stick his wand into your tight wet sheath, insert his part A into your slot B,-"

When Harry realized that Daphne wasn't going to stop after making her point, he covered her mouth. He was slightly afraid Katie wouldn't be able to hold up and faint at how red she was turning.

"Why are you doing this? Is this some kind of joke?" Katie hissed from both anger and embarrassment.

"Do I look like I am joking?" Daphne glare harden. "Harry's life is on the line and unless he shags someone he will die."

"Is this true, Harry." Katie turned her eyes to him.

Harry just nodded before diving into why and about his ancestry and how his ancestry awoken but conveniently left out his monthly transformation. He didn't really want to overwhelm her and told her there is more but currently it is unimportant. As for his future knowledge and life, he didn't see a point to tell her currently. Maybe in a hundred years or so if she forms a mistress bond with him.

"So a part of your incubus ancestry has activated, but shouldn't you I don't know change or already shagged others?" Katie asked. "Also why pick me?"

"My change as you put it comes as I grow older as my appeal will continue to enhance itself. As for the other benefits from this I have no idea as it is only a partial awakening due to a mutation." Harry shrugged. "Now as to why we picked you, well Daphne is a late bloomer so she currently can't. I seriously doubt Hermione would do it and probably attempted to tell someone only to die. As for the others, I am not really friends to ask this or they haven't really begun taking an interest in the other gender."

Katie just looked at him before rubbing her forehead. Daphne attempted to persuade her to accept and opened a few books. "If you agree we can do a ritual where you and Harry get a small boost in your magic when you give up your virginity."

Instead of agreeing or rejecting Katie stood up. "I will think about it and give you my answer after classes today." With that she walked out of the library.

Harry sighed as he felt wrong about taking advantage of his friend. "Did you really find a ritual like that?"

"In my late twenties last time around I did but by then it was too late. So I didn't really pay much attention to it, but I remember the books." Daphne shrugged as while both were virgins in body their minds were not. So neither were about their 'first' time like the first time around, well Daphne worried about the pain.

"Why don't we continue to search while we wait for her to accept." Harry sighed before putting his head on his chin. "I'm not really looking forward to the favors depending on what they are."

"Don't worry about it as it will work out in the end and she won't ask for something bad. Now come on I believe we have Charms to get to." Daphne rolled her eyes as she dragged him out of the library. They soon split however as they can't really be seen together yet as the year just begun.

After finishing their classes, Harry who was incredibly bored moved listlessly throughout the castle. On the seventh floor, he paced back and forth asking for a room full of books on ritual mostly focused on sex.

A brown door opened but he found ten books which he flipped through before shaking his head. He found varying degrees of binding and a few curses that can be applied to bloodlines. In one he even found one that changes one gender. However he didn't find anything much better than what Daphne suggested.

'Maybe, I should expand my search when using this room.' Harry thought of leaving as it was nearly time for Katie's answer.

Once again finding himself in the library, he found Daphne pouring over a few books with Hermione a few tables away. With a failed attempt to greet his friend as she greeted him and asked if he was doing his homework. When he shaked his head no as she scowled a bit before saying 'Honestly Harry' before going on about the importance of homework.

Sliding his way towards Daphne, he was greeted with a smile with eyes full of boredom.

"So you found your day boring as well." he asked with a dry chuckle.

"Indeed, but there isn't really anything we can do. If we suddenly have tons of knowledge others will begin asking questions. The question neither of us want."

"I could maybe ask Dumbledore if there is an excel or fast pace course we can take to graduate faster." Harry shrugged. "If not we can work on some projects or hobbies. Hmm, should we create our own grimoire?"

"Why a grimoire Potter?" Daphne asked, blinking at him slowly at his random suggestion.

Slightly shrugging his shoulders, "If we are going to be walking this earth for a long time. Why not record all we have discovered? Maybe in the future it could be famous like Merlin's or something for all the knowledge it contains."

"We will need to research how to make and charm one so only us and family can read it. It would be bad if someone likes Granger to read it." Daphne said making Harry think.

While he wanted to defend his friend a bit, he could only nod as the current Hermione was a no go. She needed to gain a bit more experience in the real world outside of books which takes time and he is not really in a rush to change. Also, if the current her got a hold of it and without it would consider dark or grey magic. She would be ranting it to the high heavens causing unnecessary trouble.

"Yeah, let's put that on hold. So have you heard from Katie yet?"

With a few moments later the girl in question popped next to them with a both curious and scared look.

"I will do it but you must let me talk with Madam Pomfrey first."

"Of course, and no time like the present." Harry grinned as he headed towards the door.
