Heir of Abraxus - A Harry Potter Fanfiction

Chapter 35: A different Kind of Ritual



About three weeks after Julius revealed his plans to his friends, Lia pulled Habol into a corner while the two were doing their homework for once without Julius since he was practicing magic in his room by transfiguring a metal ball over and over again.

He had started with this a few days before, when he was finally proficient enough in transfiguration to do this with barely any chance of a mishap happening.

He had even sidelined many of his other interests just to be able to do this as soon as possible, but when asked he would only mumble something about it just being a great idea he read about.

But this also meant he sometimes got barely enough sleep, which would result in him being a bit groggy in at least the first lesson which always earned him at least a curious gaze from the respective teacher but since he would usually be their best student by far, they mostly just assumed he was learning deep into the night, which technically was indeed true, and left him alone.

This was only the case though, since he always made sure that this never happened in DADA or Potions, since the respective teachers would most likely not appreciate it and while Snape would just be a pain in the ass to deal with, their DADA teacher was a fearsome woman which was also an auror.

And while his friends didn't know this, Julius had could also see, that she was most likely not an ordinary one, at a magic power stat of 63 which was at least stronger than most Professors, including a former death eater and Professor McGonagall.

Anyways, since it was still before during the time when many students were having dinner, there was almost no one in the common room besides the two, and those that were seemingly only gave them one or two glances before minding their own business.

After Habol pulled up his eyebrow even Lia noticed how what she was doing looked and backed of a bit while blushing slightly.

"Sorry for going at it like this but I need your help with something and I would like it if this could stay between us two."

Becoming serious again, Habol nodded:

„I will see what I can do. We're friends after all."

Later while laying in his bad Habol was still pondering about his conversation with Lia.

Lia had asked him about something she thought was a kind of ritual of his family.

Well, that was only what she thought after having done her own surface level research, in reality it had something to do with the greatest secret of his family and he would never be allowed to share it normally.

But that was exactly why he was seriously considering helping Lia, not just to stick it to his father but that was certainly a close second on his list for reasons to do that with the first one being that he genuinely wanted to help his friend.

At this though a smile crept up Habol's face.

He had made his decision, he would not do it to harm his father, but to help his friend.

A few hours later Lia was standing in the middle of a ritual circle inside one of the empty rooms in the Slytherin boys' dorms with Habol watching her while standing outside of it.

Of course the ritual circle, which he had quickly drawn on the ground with chalk beforehand, was only an easy ritual which was supposed to help a person get a good night's sleep.

Even though he trusted Lia, he just couldn't let her find out the full truth yet.

Habol gave Lia with a nod the signal to start and she started pouring her magic power into the ritual, after which she quickly fell asleep.

Luckily Habol was ready to catch her before she fell onto the hard stone floor.

After catching her, he laid her down on the bed.

Then he started what they had came here for.

At first he drew on the source of his power, which, to him, was as easy as breathing, to the point where, if he didn't know about it, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Then he laid his hand on Lia's forehead, before concentrating on the feeling he felt every time he changed into another form.

While doing so he could feel his power going over to Lia at the edge of his field of perception and permanently empower the weak amount of similar magic power already existing inside her to the point where it permanently took root inside of her.

And while all of this was taking place, on the Hogwarts forum in the mirror web a picture started a rumour, at first no one saw it, but when a few Slytherins who had been there talked about it to their friends and showed them the picture as proof, it became more popular on the forum until most of its more active students had seen it at least once.1

-Hogwarts forum-

DaoistxjRjqE - look what I saw in the Slytherin common room today, could it be that one of our most powerful heirs has something going on with this random guy without a last name?

Shadow1609 - @DaoistxjRjqE it sure does like it, but are you sure that's really Lia West? It's not completely clear in this image and it would be quite strange for a pureblood heir of such power to even associate with him

DaoistxjRjqE - @Shadow1609 image_here

Shadow1609 - @DaoistxjRjqE okay that's quite clear now, curious, I wonder what kind of backstory this has

SwapnilDevil - @Shadow1609 yeah it definitely seems that way from the pictures but purely from the things I heard about the group with those two and the Abraxus heir I don't think it really is something romantic, from all I've heard they just seem to be very good friends (besides those few shipping Lia and Julius for no real reason)
