Harry Potter Child of Darkness

Chapter 12 (Harry)

I woke up to see my sister using a book as a pillow. We were still in the chamber of secrets. I picked up everything as I let her sleep in a little more. Once I was done, I went to shake her awake. "Come on, Salina, we have to head to breakfast before the old goat starts asking questions." She tirededly nodded as she got up. We were up till 1:38 am. So we only got about six hours of sleep.

We headed to the Great Hall, and no one bothers that we were a bit late. I bid her goodbye and sat with the Slytherins. Even with only 6 hours of sleep, I was completely fine. I learned at an early age that I could function properly on 5 hours of sleep minum.

"Based on how Haminie looks, I am guessing neither of you went to sleep till early this morning." Draco said with a yawn. I just smirked and started eating. I had convinced one of my house elves to make potion free food for me and my friends. After I was done, I headed to the wompping willow.

"Hey, Willow." I said as I kneeled at the edge of the trees' reach. I put my hands into the soil and felt my magic flow through it into the trees roots. "Don't worry, girl, I am here to help." I whispered, using my magic to carry the words into her roots. Soon, she stopped trying to attack me.

I felt exosting when I finally stopped. Willow now had more leaves on it than it had in years. I tried to get up only to stubble forward. I had used more magic than I thought.

I tried to get up only to feel a gental branch rap around me. Willow layed me on her trunk before I passed out from exsosion. I had only used about 15% of my magic, but I also had too much magic to where I could only manage control 20% of it.

When I woke up, it was 3 in the afternoon. I got up and stretched. "Thanks, Willow. I will come back next Saturday to give you more. Not as much as before, I don't want to pass out again." I said and felt her magic reply in understanding.

I walked around the lake till I was in the deepest area. Few people swam here, so it was perfect to try out a new parsalspell. $auqess sermerson$ I spock in Parsletoung. I could feel a pain in my neck and had trouble breathing before I dived onto the water.

It took a few minutes, but I was finally breathing easily again. It will take a while to get used to that. I swam around when I ran into the gaint squib. It looked at me in curiosity before guiding me somewhere. Within minutes, we were at the mervillige. I smiled and thanked him in parsle. It was the only way I could communicate. He swam around me before leaving.

The merpeople mostly ignored me as I swam around. I was about to leave when the guards stopped me. "Our queen wishes a word with you," one said while the other nodded. I gestured for him to lead the way, and we were soon at the merpalace.

"I am surprised by you young wizened. What allows you to stay her in our territory without running out of air?" She asked. I remember that the queen of each species could understand all language, so she would understand me.

$A parsalspell that I found in my ancestors' library, my queen. I had not expected to find your kingdom, but I luckily ran into Auqess.(The gaint squid) If you wish me not to return, I understand$.I explained.

"No, not at all. I only wish to know why you came down here." She said.

I smiled brightly. $I came down here to learn as much as I couldn't learn everything in hogwarts. No affince, but with the old man as the headmaster, the kids 'including me' are only learning the dear minimum.$ I said, and she smiled.

"Very well. I expect you will return next Saturday?" She inquired, and I nodded. "Good, best head back now. It is getting dark." She said, and I thanked her before swimming to shore.

$Airesss$ I said as I changed back to normal. Instead of heading back to the castle, I headed into the forbidden forest. When I saw Fenrir (help, how do you spell his name?), I turned into my animagus form 'A albino snake with dark blue/purple eyes'.

He let me rap around his neck as he ran through the forest. It reminded me of the old days when I used to ride on his back when I was little. I smiled the best I could in snake form. We spent most of the night like that until he finally lay down and fell asleep. I got off his neck and turned back before falling asleep in his warm fur.

(Sorry for it being so long. I have been wanting to do this chaper for a long time now. -863-)
