Ryan took great pleasure in watching as Harry spent a lot of time over the next few days dodging out of sight whenever he saw Gilderoy Lockhart coming down a corridor. Harder to avoid was Colin Creevey, who seemed to have memorized Harry"s schedule. Nothing seemed to give Colin a bigger thrill than to say, "All right, Harry?" six or seven times a day and hear, "h.e.l.lo, Colin," back, however exasperated Harry sounded when he said it. Yanderes are scary I caught him sniffing Harry once or twice with a crazy look in his eye I can only hope he doesn"t have that kind of affect on ginny. Now that we are back at school I had some plans that needed to be implemented the first of which was cleaning out the room of requirement it took a grand total of 30 hours with the time turner and all the elves helping to get everything stuffed away I sold everything except the other vanishing cabinet I"d have to buy instruction on how to fix it that"s a free portal almost.i made a total of 22mgp and stored the diadem I"ll handle a couple of those at once to save problems in the future. The next problem to solve after a good night"s rest I took out my nifty new marauders map and started searching for the kitchen entrance it was near the hufflepuff common rooms behind a portrait of a bowl of fruit you needed to tickle the pear. as the door swung open I was scared to see hundreds of little elf heads turn to me all at once with their big bulbous eyes and scary Yandere like worship of people. they all rushed over. "h.e.l.lo young master what can we bes doing for you?" ugh that English. "h.e.l.lo little ones I was wondering if you could do me a favor and set up a table for me with some nice bacon and hash brown and also can one of you retrieve the sorting hat I have a meeting with him." they were excited to help and quickly complied and I saw pounds of bacon eggs hash browns toasts pumpkin juice. such good over achievers as I sat down to talk with the hat a burst of flame appeared near the table to my shock it turns out fawkes the Phoenix came to visit as well. I quickly asked the elves to bring some habnero peppers pheonix love spicy food. the hat wondered what I had called him for and I quickly told him. "I need the sword of griffindor." "ahh for the basalisk or the horcruxes?" said the hat with a bow of understanding. I told him a little bit of both just in case my plans went awry. I wanted this all put of the way early so I can focus on my school year. I don"t want any surprises from fate or anything like that. he quickly agreed that it was best to get rid of it as fast as possible. so I put him on my head and *bang* my eyes watered and I was nearly knocked out from the sword hilt cracking me in the head. "s.h.i.t can"t you be gentler I"m a young boy" the hat embarra.s.singly said sorry "and what do you mean young boy!?!?!" I ignored that. anyway I was almost done with my breakfast and figured it was almost time to go I reached over and scratched fawkes plumage and stored him in my kingdom with an evil cackle system notifications went off in my mind. [bonded creature found...unbinding...complete....binding to hosts soul.....creature struggling...forced binding initiated.....complete.] the hat looked at me in shock and then we both started to laugh like maniacs. the hat is such a good guy I"ll take him with when we go. I had the elves bring him back to the headmasters office and had fawkes steal his perch since he"s linked to my kingdom Dumbledore probably thinks he was abandoned poor guy. I took out my map and activated my invisibility heading towards moaning murtles bathroom making sure Noone was around including the ghost. thanks to the universal language system I could speak parsletongue and quickly found and opened the sink leading to a ma.s.sive tunnel slide which was covered in grime. I could probably find some stairs like a smart person but it"s a big slide! I jumped down immediately and landed on a pile of rat and other creature bones. gross. I made my way to the next spot a giant slytherin style gate and told it in my cool hissing voice which i knew someday the ladies will love if you get my drift (wink wink nudge nudge) I knew what to do next I walked into the ma.s.sive underground cavern lit by magical torches and pulled out the sword and a shield I had previously bought from the store and looked at the giant statue of Salazar slytherin he kinda looked like a scrawny monkey with a goatee. I shouted in parsletongue "speak to me oh Salazar greatest of hogwarts four!" the mouth slide down and I heard rustling noises from inside I quickly dropped to a knee and raised my shield hiding my eyes behind it and waited for the monstrous basalisk to finish sliding out before It hissed i in confusion wondering who called it. it looked at me and I tilted up the shield then all I heard was a loud thud and knew my plan worked. I lowered my shield keeping my eyes on the ground and made my way toward where I heard the thud and felt with my hands a large scaley creature quickly sucking it into my inventory before heaving a ma.s.sive sigh of relief. what just happened you ask? well I remembered 2 things 1 Medusa turned herself to stone I Greek mythology when perseus used a mirrored shield on her and 2 you need a mirror shield in runescape to slay basalisks. the basalisk in question had just petrified itself I will cure it later with a restorative drought I km now it can still kill with its eyes open even petrified so I needed to be safe the second thing I learned is roosters can kill basalisks but only if they are 100 years or younger a 60 foot 1000 year old basalisk nope would just stun it a bit. today was a productive day a legendary sword 2 mythological creatures and my second horcrux also all the cash I need for the gate with 9 million to spare. I swapped places with a shadow that was in my room and just basked in my unlimited awesomeness.
