《Together we howl》Part 11

It wants long until everyone returned, I made a large lunch and after we were all now sitting in the living room.
"Our second year was a little more traumatic, especially for Ginny who was arriving at Hogwarts for her first year" Everyone looked at Ginny with knowing looks, Paul sat up straight with a concerned expression as Ginny kept her head down.
"Before the school year started, I had gotten a visit by an unexpected guest. We have something called house-elves, they are there to serve families and are bound by magic to be extremely loyal to their masters. Unfortunately, a lot of them are treated poorly and even abused. Anyway, an elf called Dobby had arrived in my bedroom one day, demanding that I don't return to Hogwarts because of something dangerous that will happen. I refused and he had done everything in his power to prevent me from returning, he closed the archway to our platform. Ron and I made the horrible mistake to take Mr Weasley's flying car, we were seen by multiple muggles but luckily, some Aurors, who are magical police, were able to wipe their memories. We had a new defence against the dark arts professor, who had no clue what he was doing"
"The egotistical bastard" I hissed, interrupting Harry who chuckled.
"One day, I was in detention and I heard a voice. It was demanding blood, it wanted to kill but not just anyone, it wanted to kill muggle-born. When I left detention, I ran into Hermione and Ron and that's when I heard it again, but neither of them could hear it. I thought I was going crazy and even in our world, hearing voices isn't a good sign, so I didn't tell anyone. To this day, that's one of my many regrets because one by one, muggle-borns were being petrified"
"Petrified is like a coma, you can't move, talk, eat or drink but you can hear everything around you. You're just frozen" I announced when I noticed the confused looks.
"It sounds like you know how it feels" Sam stated with a frown, I sent him a smile and nodded my head.
"Unfortunately, I was one of the people who got petrified. You see, Harry had a special gift, he was able to communicate with snakes and in our world, parselmouths were known to be related to dark magic and dark witches and wizards"
"Voldemort was known to be a Parslemouth and when it was revealed that Harry was one too. Many rumours were going around declaring that he was either somehow related to Voldemort or the heir to Slytherin house. They all thought that Harry was causing people to be petrified, that was until it happened to me. They all knew how much Harry cared for me and couldn't fathom why he would cause me harm. When I was in the hospital wing, they had found a piece of parchment in my hand, which solved the mystery of what is harming the students. It was a basilisk, a snake with deadly eyes and venom that would kill anyone within minutes"
"At first, We couldn't understand why everyone was being petrified instead of dying, then we figured that all those people saw the reflection of the Basilisk instead of looking directly at it. It turns out, that it was travelling around the castle in the pipes, which meant that wherever the basilisk was residing, would be underground. When all of this was happening, we failed to realise that Ginny was becoming more closed off and pale, she was so frantic and emotional all the time but we thought it was because she was away from her parents for the first time. What we didn't know, was that she was being possessed by a diary that held a piece of Voldemort's younger self's soul" I looked at Ginny with a reassuring smile and a nod, she looked hesitant but took a deep breath and looked at the four wolves, who seemed a lot more pale than usual.

"When we were getting my school books in Diagon Alley, we ran into Draco and his father. You see, Draco was our enemy throughout our years at Hogwarts and our fathers hated each other. Our fathers had gotten into a disagreement and what we didn't realise, was that Draco's father had slipped the cursed diary into my cauldron. I thought it was an ordinary diary, I started writing all my thoughts and feelings into it but what I didn't expect, was for it to write back. I was so lonely, I didn't want to be a burden to my brothers, who all already had friends and their own lives, the diary was somewhat like a friend. As time went on, I began to notice that my days grew shorter and I couldn't remember where I had been at certain times. I would wake up with rooster feathers in my bed and blood on my hands, I was terrified and somehow, I knew it was the diary. So, I threw it in the girl's toilet where a certain ghost resided"
"Ghosts are real?" Jared asked with wide eyes, making everyone laugh and nod.
"The castle has a few, they are rather helpful when you're lost. Anyway, there's a ghost in the girl's bathroom called Myrtle, also known as moaning Myrtle for obvious reasons. She was rather angry that I disposed of the diary in her bathroom but I didn't care, I just wanted it to be gone" she cried as Mr Weasley wrapped his arm around his daughter.
"What I didn't want, was for someone to find it and it happens to them, unfortunately, it was Harry who found it in the bathroom after it became flooded. I freaked out, I didn't want Harry to get hurt and there were already so many rumours going around about him and I knew if what happened to me, happened to him then he would never forgive himself. So, I broke into his dorm room and stole it back. Before I knew it, I was unconscious"
"It was only me and Ron left and we were doing everything in our power to find the chamber of secrets, which is where the Basilisk resided. When I had the diary, I had written in it and found out that fifty years earlier, the chamber was opened and a girl had died in a bathroom. Turns out, that girl was Myrtle Warren. There was an announcement by professor McGonagall, demanding that everyone return to their common rooms immediately whilst the other professors were to meet up. Ron and I, of course, went to investigate and discovered that a student was taken into the chamber, that student was Ginny. Lockheart, who was the defence against the dark arts professor at the time, kept bragging about how he always knew where the chamber was and knew how to destroy the monster. The other professors left it up to him to save Ginny, but when Ron and I went after him, we found that he was packing to escape. Of course, I wouldn't allow that to happen and dragged him to the bathroom, where Myrtle explained how she died and that the person who opened it before was standing by a certain sink, which had a serpent carved into the tap. I used parseltongue and it unlocked the entrance"
"See it came-"
"In handy" Fred and George announced with wide smiles, making Harry roll his eyes with a chuckle.
"At the beginning of the year, Ron and I crashed the car into a dangerous tree called the whomping willow, which resulted in him breaking his wand. Though he only sellotaped it and left it at that, it wasn't working properly but in the end, it saved our lives. When we dragged Lockhart into the chamber, he managed to steal Ron's wand and tried to erase our memories. We found out that all the books that he wrote about his amazing adventures were all false. He was a fraud and had stolen credit from other witches and wizards before erasing all their memories. When he tried to do the same to us, it backfired on him, resulting in him flying against the wall which collapsed, separating Ron and me. I went to save Ginny whilst Ron removed the bricks for us to get through. When I left and ventured further into the chamber, the first thing I saw was Ginny's unconscious and pale body. I thought she was dead, I was so scared but felt relieved when I heard her heartbeat, though it was extremely faint. A figure appeared out of nowhere, I begged for him to help but he just stood there. He revealed himself as Tom Riddle and said that as Ginny began to fade, he would grow stronger. Long story short, he was Voldemort's younger self and was able to control the basilisk, which chased me through the chamber. Our headmaster had a Phoenix, which is immortal and has tears that heal. Anyway, the Phoenix managed to remove the basilisk's eyes, allowing me to look at it without dying. I managed to defeat the serpent, but in doing so, Its fang had penetrated my arm. The feeling of the poison was horrific, it began to spread so quickly but my first thought was on Ginny, who was so close to death. The Phoenix had arrived once again and managed to heal my arm, I'm not sure what told me to do it but I grabbed the fang and the diary, and began to stab it. Black liquid began to ooze out of the diary and when I stabbed the cover, Tom Riddle disappeared and Ginny woke up"

"I confessed immediately, and even though I was possessed and had no control of what I was doing, I felt responsible. We managed to escape the chamber and we were escorted to the hospital wing, they kept Harry and me there for about a week. A few days later, our nurse, Madam Pomfrey, managed to bring all those who were petrified, to their normal state. Harry and I were the first to see Hermione at the entrance of the great hall and when we hall hugged, something amazing happened"
"Magic is an amazing thing and there are loads of rare and old magic that are quite rare. There are mates, also known as soul mates but there is also something called a sibling bond. So, when the three of us hugged, a golden glow surrounded us and that's when we found out that we shared a bond more powerful than anyone could imagine. As the years went on, it got more powerful and we are now able to track each other if we are lost or in trouble, we can feel each other's emotions and comfort one another when needed"
"S-Soul mates?" Paul stuttered with wide eyes, glancing at Ginny whose cheeks were bright red. The group looked between Ginny and Paul with curiosity, they could all sense that there was something different about the four large men, but what? They didn't know.
"Yeah, it's rare but when found, it can be quite intense" Ginny sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair, I nodded in agreement which caught Sam's attention.
"Third year was the least intense" Harry announced with a wide smile. He opened his mouth to continue but an idea came to mind.
"Why don't we use a Pensieve to show the other years? It will be much easier"
"Not a bad idea, who's memories are we using?" Harry asked.
"Yours and Hermiones, you two were more involved with everything than I was" Ginny declared, we nodded our heads in agreement.
"Accio pensieve" I called out with my palm facing the doorway. In a few seconds, a silver plate-like object flew threw the air and straight into my hand. The four wolves stared in awe, their mouths hanging wide open. I allowed it to hover between Harry and me as we pulled out our wands, we placed the tip to our temples and extracted our memories and placed them in the pensieve.
"Now, this will be able to show you our memories. All you have to do is put your face into the water and you'll be sucked into the memories, don't worry, it doesn't hurt" I reassured with a smile. They glanced at one another hesitantly before nodding.
"We can't all fit," Charlie said with a frown. I rolled my eyes fondly and with a flick of my hand, the pensieve expanded. He let out a chuckle and shook his head as everyone began to surround the pensieve. With a nod of my head, we all submerged ourselves and we immediately fell into our memories.
We watch every hardship we went through, the hardest was during the war, though not all memories were shown. As we got pushed out of our memories, silence filled the room and everyone was sickly pale.
"That happened to you?" Sam asked softly, tears in his eyes as he looked at me. I nodded my head and before I knew it, I was pulled against his muscular chest. His body temperature was surprisingly hot, it caused goosebumps to form on my skin and I immediately melted in his arms. I open my eyes and notice Ginny in Pauls's arms, she looked happy and safe.
The silence was interrupted by a phone ringing, I pulled away slightly, glancing to my right and realised it was Jacobs. He looked at me and Sam with a small frown, somewhat like he was asking for permission.
"It's okay Jacob, we will be waiting," I said softly with a smile, he let out a sigh and nodded his head before he left the room. The room fell silent once again, this time it was rather awkward.
"Why don't I make us some beverages, I'm sure you're thirsty" They nodded their heads with thankful smiles and I left the room in a rush.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
