Chapter 5 Basilisks and Phoenixes

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After 2 hours trying and failing to track down Hermonie, Orion had managed to calm down somewhat and was thinking a bit more rationally about the entire situation. Namely the fact that when Hermonie learned he had agreed to fight a thousand year old basilisk without magic shewould be the one killing him.

But still, this was the only way they were going to get any help out of Salazar and he was sure that with his assistance their escape would be must faster and safer, but the question still remained...Were the hell was Hermonie?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hermonie glared at the dusty tome in front of her it was old, it was faded, and it was written in bloody Latin, she hated Latin. But she could read it, barely, because of two years of Latin her parents had insisted she take and from what she had already read this book would be invaluable come summer, it was full of runic communication spells.

The two that had caught her attention though were a spell that turned a mirror into a sort of video phone and one that could be placed on objects to make them act sort of like a primitive pager of sorts. Both of which she could already think of many uses for if she could master the spells which being runic in nature could therefor be worked on at home without the ministry knowing. She would have to track down a couple of good mirrors over the summer and something unassuming for the pager spell as she was calling it.

She glanced around the dusty little library she had found with a smile this place was a great find, she could have done without the spinning section of wall that put her in mind of some spy movie that had gotten her here though. She frowned thoughtfully and set the book back on the table where she had found it and headed for the door/wall to leave she would need to come back with some things to take notes. She couldn't risk taking the book with her it was ancient and no doubt rare if she was found with it the teachers would no doubt demand to know were she had gotten in and that would cause problems.

So with a sigh she pushed on the wall causing it to spin and a moment later found herself standing back in a hallway on the fifth floor she glanced to the left and right memorizing were she was it wouldn't due to forget this place now and headed down the hall towards the Gryffindor common room. She was about half way there when Orion all but slammed into her from an adjoining hall "Iv been looking for you for two hours! Were the hell have you been?" He asked frustrated she opened her mouth to answer but was cut off "Never mind come on I need to tell you something its important!" And she was hauled off down the minutes they were locked into an abandoned class room with privacy charms up to keep anyone from over hearing them.

"Right what are you so exited about?" She asked and frowned at him "And where did you get that sword?" She added.

"Well I found Salazar and talked to him and he'll help us on one condition." Hermonie shrugged

"Thats good and unsurprising he a Slytherin theres always a catch." Orion winced at this and Hermonie expression turned weary "What does he want?" She asked.

"Well, about that..." He said slowly Hermonie expression darkened

"Orion..." She said warningly Orion took a deep breath

"Hewantsmetokillhispetbasilisk." He said in a rush and cringed slightly Hermonie blinked once, twice staring at Orion intently.

"Orion...Did you, or did you not just say you agreed to fight a basilisk?" She said sweetly.

"Um...maybe?" He squeaked staring at her, Hermonie when she was angry was far scarier then any basilisk.

"Ya thats what I thought you said." She said drily staring at him "I just have one thing to ask." She added "ARE YOU STUPID OR JUST CRAZY?" She yelled making him jump

"Uh...im going to go with crazy?" He said tentatively making her hiss like an angry cat.

"Is there anything else I should know about this?" She growled

"Well, im not to use spells to fight her." He said Hermonie sighed in a put upon way looking at him pitying

"Your a complete moron you know that right?" She said he glared.

"I can do it!" He said defiantly she glared right back

"Im not sure if you can for three reasons mainly, 1. Your 12, 2. Your about as strong as the average kitten, 3. You've got about as much of an idea how to use that sword as said kitten. Are you beginning to get it yet?" She stated Orion huffed glaring at her.

"I can do it! Plus Salazar wont help unless I kill Oro!" Hermonie frowned again "Why exactly does he wasn't you to kill his pet basilisk anyway?" She asked.

"Well apparently he's not actually some pureblood obsessed psycho and this heir of his put a bunch of dark curses of her to control her, and he says she would rather be killed then harm the students because she supposed to protect the school." He answered she stared at him for a moment and sighed.

"Im not going to be able to change you mind on this am i?" She asked Orion shook his head no she snorted "Right then if you going to go off to fight a giant snake your not doing it without a shield were did you get that sword anyway?" Orion blinked surly it wasn't that easy? He thought surprised before answering.

"Theres an armory hidden on the 7th floor" He answered she nodded and with a flick of her wand took the spells on the room down.

"Right then lead the way."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hermonie looked around the armory Orion had just shown her faintly impressed "Nice." She said examining a rack of unstrung long bows she was standing next to. "Now where are the shields?" She asked Orion frowned

"Uh...In the back by the spears I think..." He answered she nodded and walked past him to the back of the room Orion followed a bit warily, he still felt he had gotten off lightly earlier and was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Hermonie eyed the long rack of shields at the back of the room most were far to large for Orion. He was going to need something that he could move with, his only real advantage was speed and he was going to need to be able to use that. "Looking for something specific dear?" Asked someone quietly she glance up sharply to a painting on the wall she hadn't noticed earlier it held a beautiful woman who looked to be about 30 or so dressed in dark blue and bronze Hermonie stared at her for a moment startled before realizing who exactly she was looking at.

"Rowena Ravenclaw?" She asked startled the woman smiled warmly at her.

"Yes dear now what were you looking for?" She asked.

"Well Orion ran out of here before without getting a shield and he's going to need one if he's going to stand a chance at beating that basilisk, but these are all to big for him to really move with, his only advantage is his speed!" She said Rowena frowned looking down at the row of shields before grinning.

"I know just the one! Goblin made very strong and light. It should be about ten feet to your left it looks like a silver gauntlet." Hermonie frowned as Orion walked up next to her looking up at Rowena.

"Hello." He said politely she nodded at him as Hermonie searched the rack for the shield she had specified and found it a moment later. She came back holding a silver gauntlet about 10 inches long decorated with intricate detail work.

"Right then." Rowena looked at Orion "Put it on and press the crystal in the center." She said he took the shield and slid it on and pressed the crystal as instructed instantly two curved triangles of metal shot out of the front and back a glowing slightly transparent shield forming between them. The shield was ruffly 2 and a half feet long a foot and a half wide and was shaped like a rounded diamond.

"COOL!" Said Orion moving his arm experimentally. The shield was light as a feather and didn't hinder movement at all. "Right then can we go now?" He asked looking at Hermonie intently she grimaced.

"Might as well waitings not really going to help any at this point."

Orion eyed the statue in front of his with trepidation before looking back at Hermonie. "Well this is it i guess." He said after a moment she sighed and nodded.

"If your down there for more then an hour im coming after you, got it?" She said glaring at him now. Orion just grinned and gave her a hug.

"I know, and thanks Hermonie." she just shook her head.

"Stop acting like your going off to your execution!" She said exasperated and hit him over the head.

"Ow!" He rubbed his head glaring balefully at her Hermonie snorted

"Big baby." She taunted he just huffed and turned to the statue

"Lamia!" He said clearly in English the snake blinked at him and smirked before stretching its stone coils and sliding out of the way. Orion had thought it a bit odd that the password was in English, but had agreed that nobody would ever think it was that simple when Salazar had explained it. He stared down the long dark tunnel for a moment before drawing his new sword which glittered dangerously in the flickering torchlight the silver blade throwing unnatural shadows on the walls.

He glance over at Hermonie one more time before walking down the dark tunnel that couldn't have been more then 3 feet wide. He was a few feet in when the stone snake slid back over with the entrance with a rumble sealing him in and throwing the tunnel into complete darkness, with a mutter he pulled out his wand "Lumos!" He said his wand lighting up like a flash light he pointed it down the hall hoping that this didn't count as using magic to beat Oro since he wasn't actually fighting her yet. He took off at a steady walk the light from his wand playing off the walls.

After almost 20 minutes of walking the smooth stone walls of the tunnel transitioned into ruff hewn granite he could only assume that this meant he had left the castle and was headed out onto the grounds. Salazar had said that the chamber itself was deep under the lake and as such to be careful not to take out too many of the supports while he was fighting Oro or he would be swimming back to the castle something he hoped to avoid. The chambers watery neighbor became more apparent as the once dry tunnel transitioned one more into moss covered stone, with trickle of water running down the center. It was another 15 minutes after that when the claustrophobic tunnel finally widened out to show a massive metal door with a huge snake carved into it.

He looked at it thoughtfully for a moment before saying the password again, causing it to creak and swing open. He pressed the Crystal on his shield making it snap open and drew his sword before moving into the room. According to Salazar Oro could be just about anywhere in the room as a large number of tunnels meet here. The one thing he unfortunately forgot to do...was look up. The sheer speed the attack came at was what saved him as he felt the dead air in the chamber move just above him and dove to the left brining his shield up to block just as Oro's jaws slammed shut on the spot he'd been standing a moment before. He rolled over on his back staring straight upward before twisting to his feet and racing to the other side of the room.

Hanging from the ceiling were she had wrapped herself around the massive stalagtights was 80 feet of poisonous black and green Basilisk. Her head alone looked like it had to be 6 feet long! She stared at him languorously as he got out of strike range before curling around one of the massive 10 foot wide columns supporting the ceiling and slithering down it.

He looked at her intently as she coiled up on the flood head and upper body held up in the air like a cobra about to strike. He was glade the serpent magic he'd gotten from Voldemort made him immune to her eyes he had no idea how he could have beaten her if he couldn't see her. She hissed softly staring at him and when he didn't drop dead she shot forward jaws wide open he flinched and managed to dodge the strike. One of her foot and a half long fangs glancing off his shield sending up a shower of sparks which made her twist away from him in surprise in the process. He quickly used this distraction to put some distance between them. He could feel his magic building up trying to help him but Salazar had said no spells so he pushed it back down were it crackled angrily building up.

Oro hissed and lunged again he jumped out of the way slashing his sword at her side leaving a long shallow gash in her scales which leaked black blood. She spun around trapping him in her coils with no way to go except past her fangs. However his instincts were telling him to jump and without anytime to question his apparently insane subconscious he jumped as high as he could and to his amazement felt the air pushing him up launching him almost twenty feet up before he landed on the far side of oro with barely a stumble he turned around grinning at the startled look on the snakes face. "So little human has a few tricks? She hissed "No matter ill kill you all the same human!" She finished and lunged again Orion dodged forward instead of to the side this time, going under her head as she over shot him and tried to slash upward and cut her throat, but she had seen what he was up to and lifted her head up and out of reach. He growled and rolled out of the way as she tried to crush him under her and jumped backwards letting the air push him almost 30 feet again

He was kind of surprised it had worked twice in a row he'd never really tried to do something like that intentionally before, but he didn't have long to celebrate his unexpected success as she came after him again. He jumped left and she twisted to follow slamming into a pillar with incredible force and cracking it in the process. A plan began forming in his head at the sight of the heavily cracked column and he ran to the far side of the room Oro in hot pursuit before doubling back and jumping off a pillar to get back around her. Oro turned again and snapped at him her fangs glancing off his shield as he ducked past her and headed back towards the cracked pillar. He dashed past the column and abruptly changed direction again and the slightly crazed snake impacted it hard with the side of her body as she snapped at him. There was a loud CRACK! A moment later and Oro Snapped her head around to look up just as the column, no longer attached to the ceiling with lost its battle with gravity and toppled over slamming down on top of Oro. She shrieked as she was pinned and they were both pummeled with additional rubble that had been dislodged from the ceiling a boulder the size of a small car nearly landing on Orion as dived out of the way. He stayed down on the ground hidden in the rubble as the dust began to settle. "BLASTED FILTHY HUMAN!" Shrieked Oro as she tried to push the broken pillar off of herself with no success. "I WILL RIP YOU APPART AND FEED YOU THE RATS FOR THIS!"

Orion looked over the rock he was hiding behind speculatively trying to determining just how well his plan had worked. The column had come crashing down on her about 30 feet back from her head this would still give her a good reach but at least he wasn't getting run around the room anymore. He stepped out from behind the rock staring at her intently her head snapped around when she heard him move her glared was positively murderous. "Filthy Human!" She snarled at him he just eyed her ignoring her comments while staying prudently out of reach of her fangs as he tried to figure out how to go about killing her as the last 5 minutes had attested he just couldn't cause enough damage to kill her really unless he aimed for her head which unfortunately came with a nice chance of getting eaten. Oro hissed baring her foot and a half long fangs at him. Right then are you a gryffindor or not? He thought it was just a risk he was going to have to take.

He darted forward his shield in front of him as she snapped her fangs skating across the translucent shield as he jumped side ways slashing at her eyes as he went he scored a deep gouge in her bottom jaw in the process and jumped over her neck as she twisted to bite at him again stabbing at her eye as he went. This time he scored a direct hit and her scream of pain echoed around the room making his ears ring and sending him tumbling to the floor in surprise her head snapped her his direction one eye now weeping blood and slammed down on top of him before he could do more then bring his shield and sword up in a vain attempt at blocking the massive snakes fangs. he partly succeeded as his sword went through the roof of her mouth and his shield absorbed the hit from one fang even as it punched half way through, the other fang had missed him by inches hanging by his shoulder. He stared at the gaping jaws now hovering over him as she stopped moving and toppled over without a sound dragging him with her. It was then that he noticed that the fang in his shield wasn't just imbedded in the shield it had gone clear through his arm. he stared at the venom dripping from the end of the fang with a sinking heart he could feel a burning sensation running through his veins even as he saw the fang, and there was no known cure for basilisk venom not that anyone would find him in time to make a difference he thought loosing consciousness.

Quetzal:i am so tempted to leave you hanging here and make you wait till next chapter to see what exactly happened but im not that mean! ;-)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Of the many thing Fawks had expected to sense today, the magic of a demigod was not one of them. He was frozen in place trying to locate where exactly in the castle the magic was coming from before realizing it was under the lake...He sighed demigod magic plus under the lake equaled Sal's pet basilisk which he knew couldn't end well. He spread his wings and took off before flashing away to the underground chamber deep under the lake just in time to have to dodge a falling column as it toppled down on top of Salazar pet menace with a satisfying crunch.

He circled for a moment before spotting the source of the outburst of magic, there crouched by a rock, was Harry Potter. Fawks resisted the urge to bang his head into a wall at this revelation he had first sensed demigod magic 12 years before and had tracked it to this castle before it had vanished with the only suspicious thing in the area being a very smug Albus dumblerdore all but doing the happy dance. So he had decide to stick around and see what turned up. Since then he had figure out that Albus the nutcase had stolen not one, but two demigods from another word across the void. The fact that there parents hadn't found them immediately told him easily enough that for what ever reason the children couldn't be tracked, probably the same spell that had caused him to loose track of them. But still he should have seen this, Harry Potter! A normal child who just happens to survive a killing curse? Damn he was going senile in his old age! He thought disgusted with himself. He was detracted from his internal rant a moment later by a tremendous scream and spun to see the boy getting knocked over be the enraged basilisk which bit down on him only to go limp. It flopped over to the floor dragging the boy with it reliving a sword jammed through the roof of its mouth no doubt all the way into the menaces brain but also the fang that had been driven through the child's shield and into his arm. "Shit" He mutter and fluttered to the ground just as the boy lost consciousness he shimmered using a virtually unknown magic of phoenixes to take a humanoid form although no one would ever mistake him for a human. His hair was blood red with the accessional gold feather interspersed in it and his red and gold wings remained, his skin was a golden tan and his hands ended in black inch long razor sharp talons. He leaned over and pried the boy loose from the fang his shield folding up as he did so allowing him a better look at the puncture wound. He shook his head with a sigh, really, it shouldn't surprise him that this boy was incapable of staying out of trouble demigods never could. He reach out putting a clawed hand on the wound and began healing it while purging the poison out of his veins.

Quetzal: there you go hope you liked it the fight scene was a little short in my opinion but hopefully the chapter length will make up for that. We will be learning more about who fawks really is next chapter but until then! See ya!
