Chereads / The New Half-blood Prince / Chapter 5 - Day The First (Transfiguration, Potions and Enchanting)

Chapter 5 - Day The First (Transfiguration, Potions and Enchanting)

I woke up early and figured that I should go wake up my fellow year mates. I started with the ones i didn't meet on the train.

So I started at the opposite end of the block with Lilith Moon. She looks exactly like Gemma bit instead of short black hair she had long flowing silver hair.

I walked through the bead curtain over to her bed and put my hand on her exposed shoulder 'wake up Lilith' I said.

Moaning softly she turned her body to face me and looked right into my eyes and said 'good morning Harry is there a reason your waking me up right not that I mind or anything.'

It took me a second to respond as I was lost in her face she had the most intriguing eyes blue eyes.

When I came back to life I responded 'I figured we could all get ready together as a bonding exercise are you okay with that?'

'Yeah I am fine with that, I will wait for by your bed' she said before getting up and walking up to my bed before plopping herself on it.

Not paying much mind to her behavior I went next door to wake Megan.

Where Lilith was like Gemma, Megan was what Hermione would look like if she had time to care about her appearance.

Walking into her room to my surprise she was already awake and looking like she was just starting a morning routine. Seeing me approach in her mirror she turned around and said 'yes Harry what would you like this early in the morning.'

'I thought that we could get ready together this morning as a bonding exercise' I told her.

'Oh what a lovely idea I wish I would have thought of that. Do you need help getting the others up?' She said.

'No I'll be fine on my own why don't you go wait with Lilith by my bed' I told her.

Not bothering to reply she got up from her stool an sauntered up to my bed and seeing Lilith laying in it she decided to join her.

I decided to wake Hermione up last so I woke Susan and Hannah up with little issue.

Walking into Hermione's room I see that she's laying on the bed but not sleeping she is reading.

When she heard me enter she said 'why are wizards such massive perverts.'

'I don't know Hermione but the rest of us are going to get ready together today as a bonding thing are you going to join us?' I asked the reading girl.

'I guess I shall' she responded getting up.

'Good follow me' I said leaving her room and making my way up to my bed to collect the rest of the girls.

The girls were in a massive pile of writhing bodies. 'Ok girls let's go' I said collecting the others and heading towards the bathroom.

The bathroom consists of a massive pool/bath in the middle of the room and 7 off shoot rooms that have all the bathroom items that the girls of that corresponding year. Each of these six rooms has a smaller pool/bath combo with enough shower heads along the walls so that no one ever has to wait they also contain enough toilets so that there is never any waits the wall that has the sinks and mirrors.

Walking through the main our group sees no one else. Once we make it to our side room.

I had to pee so I went into one of the toilet stalls. While I did this the girls stripped down and each rinsed off using a shower then made their way to the tub to soak.

When I was done I quickly stripped down showered and joined them. The middle bath was circular in shape and had a ledge that allowed one to sit on it so that only your head and shoulders were above the water.

I took the open spot between Lilith and Susan but when I sat down Lilith decided she wanted to be closer to me and shifted were she was sitting so she was in my lap. Megan and Hermione saw this and shifted towards me to fill her spot.

'So girls how was your first night' I asked.

'Lovely I've just been let in on the biggest secret in the wizarding world me and Hannah are ready to help you my prince' Susan said excitedly.

'Aww thank you' I said wrapping my arm around her neck an dragging her closer to my body.

'What about you two' I asked looking at Megan and Hermione.

'If what it's been telling me about my chances in the wizarding world are true I can't thank you enough for this opportunity' Megan said.

'Hermione' I said looking for her opinion.

'Oh yeah I'm super thankful for this opportunity' she said.

'Good, now I'm sure you girls have been informed of the different paths available to you, any thoughts right now?' I asked.

Lilith was the first to speak 'because I was born to a werewolf I have better hearing and sense of smell then average. Your smell is divine thus I want to be beside you for all time.'

'Yes that's lovely Lilith I'm sure you and Gemma will get along just fine' I said.

Hannah was next to speak 'I wanted to join your inquisition but then Susan suggested that we become you eyes and ears in the noble pureblood circles.'

That's a wonderful idea as most of the people that come through Hufflepuff aren't nobles like the two of you are' I said.

Megan then decided it was her turn and shimmied right up along side me and leaned her head on my shoulder and said 'I would like to become a part of your household staff please.'

'I don't see a reason why not but why?' I asked her.

'Oh I love children and I know you are going to have a lot of them so I want to be where the children are' she said sheepishly.

'Aw aren't you adorable' I said then I shifted my head around Lilith so I could peer at Hermione.

'Humph, I'll be a researcher thank you as long as you fund my enchanting' Hermione said very pointedly.

'Why of course I would what kind of researcher would you be if you couldn't enchant anything' I said.

After soaking for a while we got out and finished getting ready for our first day of school.

I noticed that Hermione didn't do all that much with her appearance and so I said 'Megan your new job is to make sure all my girls look their best every day.'

Megan looked like she had just been given the best present of her life and responded much to the other girls horror 'it would be my pleasure.'

'Ok nice I'll meet you all down at breakfast' I said leaving the girls to their fate.

I made my way out of the bathroom up to my bed where I got dressed. I made my way out of the common room and too the great hall where a large number of students were already gathered eating.

The Hufflepuff table was alive with energy as I sat down at the far end of the table. Just as I was about to start eating I was interrupted.

'If it isn't the great coward Harry Potter. You couldn't get into a real house so the hat just stuck you in Hufflepuff like the nobody that you are' Malfoy said.

I didn't even bother reacting as I didn't need too as every single Hufflepuff got up in a fluid motion and walked over to block Malfoy's escape. Seeing what was happening he quickly climbed over the Ravenclaw table to get away.

When he was safely back at the Slytherin table shouted 'stay away from me you dirty mudbloods.'

To which Professor McGonagall said 'I thought we went over this already mister Malfoy that kind of language will not be tolerated. Your week just turned into a month.'

**POV Shift**

'Lily, Severus has levelled a complaint against your house for bullying him. It's a worrying change in your house' Dumbledore said.

'Oh don't worry about my puffs they are just protecting each other by treating an attack against one of them an attack against all of them. Harry being in Hufflepuff has caused my puffs to be more sure of themselves that they are not just the rest like they've been told' Lily said

'Ok as long as it doesn't become an issue' Dumbledore responded.

**POV Shift**

Me and the other Hufflepuff first years are heading to our fist class today transfiguration with Gryffindor.

Lilith sat beside me the whole class which was uneventful as it was just an explanation of what transfiguration is, it's uses and the dangers.

Our next class was potions with Ravenclaw. Since Lilith refused to leave my side it was decided that she would be may potions partner.

This first class was uneventful as it was just basic technique and how to not hurt yourself stuff. Snape isn't a bad teacher just has little patience for mistakes. It was weird in that he refused to acknowledge my existence but that's just fine with me.

After class it was lunch time so us first years made our way to the great hall where we ate and chatted some more before those of us with enchanting left to head to that class while everyone else was done for the day.

The Hufflepuff first years in enchanting were Hermione, Lilith, Justin and myself.

I didn't expect Justin but then he told us that his muggle family was really wealthy and when they saw that their was a class that wasn't paid for by the ministry then it must be a way to separate people into different classes and they didn't want their son to be a second class person.

Reaching the enchanting classroom I was surprised by the number of students here.

The class was us four Hufflepuff students. Daphne Greengrass, Tracy Davis, Pansy Parkinson, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, and Blaise Zabini from Slytherin. Ravenclaw only had two members Padma Patil and Sue Li. Gryffindor had no members in the class which wasn't surprising to anyone.

Upon entering the class I took my spot at one of the two person desks scattered about the room leaving ample space in between desks and Lilith was right next to me like the rest of the day.

Professor Babbling entered the room she said 'due to the large number of students in this year Miss Lily Potter has been assigned as my helper for this class for today we will just be going over the fundamentals that you will need for the coming years.'

After she explained how the class is going to work and what we will be doing this year the class was over and we made our way back to the great hall for dinner.

'So how was everyone's first day?' the 5th year prefect asked us.

Megan responded first saying 'I was so excited about the magic part I forgot about the school part.'

At this the entire Hufflepuff table erupted in laughter and money changed hands as someone said the yearly thing. This phrase was so common that people often bet on how long until one of the first years said it.

Megan turned a bright shade of red in embarrassment but Sarah was quick to make her feel better saying 'don't worry about it my dear I was the one too say it in my year next year you get to be in on the joke so it makes up for it. Oh and after dinner we have a house meeting don't be late.'

Being almost done eating I finished up quickly and made my way back to the common room to wait until the meeting started. My shadow also followed me and sat on my lap in the common room.

I watched as the whole house shuffled into the meeting room. My mother and I were the last ones in the room. I sat in the front row on the end where I could easily get up and take over for my mom.

'Welcome my beloved students I am sure the bond has informed you of the changes in structure the signup sheet for the various orders will be posted I will be conducting preliminary interviews with my son. We are doing this so that we can better focus your efforts but it is likely that at least 70% of you will not meet the criteria for these orders worry not because I will be find you an adequate position in the organization proper. Now I am going to let my son make his announcements' Lily said.

I got up and walked into the center lecture stand and began 'I would to thank you all for your hard work over your time here and hope that this organization can return that in kind. My first announcement is that female students after your interview unless told otherwise during you are free from you obligation to me and that you are free to start following your other commandments. Second All those students that are chosen for an order will be inducted at the end of a week long try out next summer at Potter Manor do not worry about anything we will facilitate it if you cannot. Thirdly I want all of you do do whatever you can to minimize hostilities between the other houses without putting a fellow puff at risk. The second part of this is that I want you all to try and make friends with students from other houses who appear to be useful. I'm sure my mother has a list that will make it easier so use it. Lastly in terms of order for those that we interview it will be my Personal unit, then Shadows, followed by Research and inquisition, lastly Household. Thank you.'

Everyone left in a very orderly line and signed up for their desired order. I was still back in the meeting room with mom 'well if they are done signing up lets begin right now' I said wanting to get this over with.

'Great idea' mom said going outside to collect the list and the first candidate.

Coming back a moment later with the list and a seventh year girl she said 'I figured that we should start with the oldest students and work our way down.'

I was sitting on the front row of desks so mom gestured the girl to stand on the podium.

I took a long look at the girl she was average height athletically skinny with small breasts but a cute and pert butt with shoulder length dyed blond hair. Her face was a cute girl next door look but she had deep red eyes.

Altogether she was an attractive girl so I asked 'name?'

'Cindy, Sir!' she said standing up a little straighter as she answered interlocking her fingers behind her back.

'Last name?' I said raising my eyebrow.

'Smith, Sir, but since I am a muggleborn I didn't think there was a reason to say it since it means nothing in this world' she said.

'So why do you want to be part of my personal unit?' I asked.

'I found being an auror interesting but I was only good with the spell craft not the other aspects they require and being in your unit Sir, seems that the most important factor is how well I can fling spells' Cindy answered.

'Unless mom has anything to say to the contrary looks like I'll be seeing you next summer and you are not released from your obligation to me' I told the girl.

'Yes I agree she is a good fit' mom said in agreement.

At this Cindy couldn't contain her excitement and rushed forward and gave me a peck on the cheek then rushed off to celebrate.

The next eight interviews were all seventh year boys who were mostly cannon fodder and the only one with any promise we told him that he would be coming next summer but as a inquisition hopeful. When I did this mom asked 'why did you do that he was a fine choice.'

To this I responded that 'Most of the girls gave me unposted requirements, Gemma's was that they must be female cause when I spend to much time around other males it ruins my scent.'

'So why didn't you say this in your announcements' mom said annoyed with me.

'I wanted to meet with everyone anyways so what's it matter when' I said while mom gave me the stink eye for being difficult.

'Any other secret requirements that you want to tell me about now' mom asked.

'Ginny said no males as well and that they have to get completely naked for the interview. Bella said she wanted people that if they disappear off the face of the earth when they graduate no one would notice or care. The others aren't a big deal right?' I asked my mother.

'The others are fine now that I know about them' mom said as she left to get the last seventh year.

In walked a girl that wasn't of European decent she walked to the interview spot with practiced grace. She had caramel colored skin, long legs, small chest, and a sultry face. Her long silky black hair reached the small of her back.

'Hello and you are?' I asked

'I am Selina Horus. My family is originally from Egypt. We came to England when the canal was built. One can trace our linage all the way back to at least the beginnings of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and earlier where we were responsible for protecting the pharaoh. Our pureblood status was never recognized so I am the last of my line with my parents unable to have more children. I will give you all of our family's tomes and books detailing ancient magic if you accept me into your service' Selina pleaded.

'Well how could I say no to such a well thought out sales pitch see you next summer and I expect you maintain your obligation to me' I said.

Selina thanked me profusely then left.

With all the seventh year applications done I decided to call it a night and that we would pick back up with sixth years tomorrow.

'You know you didn't have to accept that girl we would have gotten access to her books anyways' mom said.

'I know that but our bond ritual isn't prefect so cultivating these people in important positions. Plus I kind of have a wolf theme forming Gemma transforms mostly into a dog, Lilith Moon, and now Selina Greek goddess of the moon' I said.

'What about Cindy dear?' mom asked.

'They don't have to all adhere to the them' I responded.

'Although I think I know what magical animal will be chosen, can you make a list of all canine magical animals I think having instinctual pack tactics will make them very strong force and canines are easily domesticated so cost is likely to be lower or we could raise them ourselves' I continued.

'That's a good Idea ill look into that' mom said.

With that I left and went to my bed to change into more casual clothes. This time as I was changing I looked more closely around my room and found that on the first ring on ones way to the second ring that my bed resided on. The first ring was filled with couches and other furniture that most of the Hufflepuff girls were relaxing on.

I asked one of the girls on the couches closest to me if they had seen my year mates and they said they were in the set of couches closest to their rooms.

Walking over to them I said 'So how was the rest of everyone's day' as I took the open spot between Susan and Hannah pulling the girls in close with my arms. When I was settled Lilith took her spot on my lap.

'The rest of our day was fairly boring' Susan said and Hannah nodded in agreement.

'We don't have to go through the interviews right' asked a nervous Megan.

'They don't but you do as I forgot a critical part when we were talking earlier' I said with a smile.

Megan gulped nervously. Seeing this is said 'don't worry its more of a formality really.'

We talked for a while longer until I felt like I should pay Selina a visit so I said goodnight to the girls and left. I figured the first place to look is her room so I went there first.

I walked into her room to find her otherwise engaged with another student. They were both naked with Selina lounging on her bed while another girl ate her out. The other girl from what I could see was short and skinny with a cute butt and blond hair.

'Oh Harry welcome to my room what can I do for you' Selina said.

The other girl upon hearing this went to stop what she was doing but Selina was faster she put her hand on the back of the other girl's head and held her in place and said 'you are in for a punishment if you don't continue.'

'I was curious about your family history and the differences in the magic in the books you have compared to what we are taught now' I said paying the other naked girl no mind I was too busy taking in the caramel beauty her tight stomach and perfectly handful sized perky tits.

'Well the modern magic is much more complex but in terms of raw power my ancient magic is much more powerful although I don't have the proper tools to cast it' she said in between moans.

I was about to speak again but then she cried out again in pleasure which I assumed was her cumming. After she came down from the pleasure she said to the other girl 'back in the trunk Alice dear.' At this the other girl said nothing to me and disappeared into what I assumed was a house trunk.

'Who was that?' I asked curiously.

'Oh that's the product of one of the tomes. Its all about enslaving the will of others to create the prefect servants. She's just some nobody muggle girl I was experimenting on who I decided to keep' she said uncaringly.

Not really caring about the girl I pressed on with the question I had planned on asking next 'what tools do you need?'

'I really only need a staff and with a staff I can create everything else I need. I asked all the wandmakers if this was something they could do but it was too expensive cause they would have to experiment with staff making before being able to do it and Olivander's shouted me out of his store for even asking such a dumb question' she said.

'What do you mean you can make the other tools with the staff?' I asked cause I figured that enchanting is involved and you cant use magic to create enchanted items.

'A lot of the magic is ritual biased so these other tools is an altar and other ritual items. Granted I could probably buy them somewhere but they went out of fashion thousands of years ago. For example I could create a ward three times as powerful as anything today and almost impossible for most modern ward breakers to break and it would last for thousands of years. There's a reason that Egypt goes through curse and ward breakers so quickly and it isn't because they aren't good enough' She said with an evil smile. 'Although the costs of such things will be very expensive and I will have to reconfigure the ingredients to be in line with what's available to me' she continued.

'Will you still be able to cast our modern magic through it?' I asked.

'With practice yes but I will only try and cast protective spells this way because it is likely every spell I cast using the will be supercharged to the point that even a stunning charm will kill you. The only things that I feel will be comfortable casting through the staff are spells designed for it. Think about the spells we are taught they are built and designed for wand uses this meaning that if I were to cast one through the staff with its higher capacity for magic delivery it will cast with more magic then it was designed for and cause unintended effects but if I cast a staff spell through my wand it will fail because the magic delivery isn't sufficient. This logic if applied to wandless magic explains why it is so hard to do because we are using the wrong spells' she said.

'Well it looks like we are going staff shopping this weekend my mom and I will pick you up Saturday and take you to a friend who will make you this staff' I told the girl.

'Oh thank you thank you, my pharaoh' she said rushing up to hug me with her naked body. 'This is it I have decided that I will start my own dynasty and tie it to your rule I will ritually make it so I and my offspring can only produce girls while protecting my line from the effects of incest and we shall become a family of royal protectors once again' she continued with utter glee.

When she let go I went to my bed and stripped off my clothes and went to bed.
