Chapter Seven: Training Time
Once Harry and Hermione had unpack most of the contents of the trunk and put there new clothes in the very large closet in there bedchambers. They then took the trunk full of Basilisk skin down to one of the lower work rooms and put the Basilisk skin in one of the large storage cabinets. The two teens then put the trunk away in there study and decided to see if any one need help getting settled in.
The chambers of the new members of The Viper Order where very nice but where not as large as Harry and Hermiones chambers, the other chambers had a large sitting room and study combination and bed chambers and bathroom similar to Harry and Hermiones chambers just a little bit smaller and less ornate.
The first person Harry offered help to was Neville's in his chambers. Neville except Harrys help and had Harry help him with his many different plants. Harry would take one plant at a time out of Nevilles special trunk. Then Harry carefully handed the plant to Neville. Neville then moved around some of his furnisher around so he could make sure the sun light from sky lights where reaching his plants.
After about two hours most of the members had settled in to there chambers and had headed to the main sitting room to talk to the other members about the underground palace and the Viper Order in general. Harry and Hermione where in the main sitting room answering lots of different question one of them being if they where still dating. Harry said to the group "Hermione and I our now bonded and now we are more or less considered married." Most of the Viper members where shocked by this statement.
Ginny had a sad look on her face when she heard this. Ginny now knew she had no chance at getting Harry to love her. Hermione noticed the look on Ginnys face and decided to talk to her alone later on. At six o'clock Dobby appeared at Harry side and told him that the feast was ready to be served in the Great Hall. Harry stood up and said "Dinner is ready lets head to the Great Hall and eat." Everyone slowly got up and walked to the Great Hall.
Harry and Hermione walked up to the front of the Great Hall and sat down at there place in the two large throne chairs on the raised platform. Once everyone was seated the food appeared on the tables like it did at Hogwarts. For the next half hour everyone sat eating the large feast that Dobby and Winky made in a very short amount of time. Once everyone was done eating Harry stood up and said "I hope you all enjoyed this great meal that Dobby and Winky made for us. If I was you I would make sure to thank them for making this great feast."
There was a shout from Denis that everyone would thank the elves. Harry went on "Tonight at eight o'clock all of you will be performing a sleep reduction ritual. The ritual will make it where you only need three to four hours of sleep a night, giving us more time in the day to train. Tomorrow night all of you will also be performing a mind enhancing ritual. The rituals will be done in the lower ritual chamber. Now the last order of business is for Hermione to explain our uniforms that all of you will hate."
Hermione gave Harry a nasty look and then stood up and started to explain to the twenty two members of the Viper Order about how there uniform would consisted of a kilt, a ring and amulet that changed your head into a vipers head. There was a very heated discussion about what Hermione told them. The males where refusing to wear a skirt and the girls because there breast would be exposed. Dean stood up and said "I would be willing to wear a skirt if I get to see all of the girls bare chest. Dean got a quit a few sour looks from the female members of the Order.
After a half hour of bickering Hermione had finally calmed the group down. Zack came up with the idea of wearing a robe over the basilisk skin uniform. The group agreed to this idea. Harry wanted to kick him self for not thinking about that idea. He would no longer have to go in public wearing a dress. But he would miss seeing Hermione in the uniform she looked so sexy in it.
The Order decided that they would wear a simple black robe over the uniform. Hermione gave Harry a withering look because he did not help her out. Later that night the twenty some members of the Order made there way down to the lower ritual chamber. Harry and Hermione had been in the large chamber for the last half hour preparing for that nights ritual. In the front of the chamber was a alter for human sacrifice. Luckily the room was large enough for eleven different ritual circles. Everyone would share a ritual circle with some one else.
As the older teen members of the Order walked in Hermione handed out a copies of her notes to each person and told them to read it over carefully. Twenty minutes later twenty some teens staggered out of the ritual chamber an up to there chambers for bed. Harry and Hermione stayed behind and cleaned up the chamber. Then Harry and Hermione went up to there study to figure out a train schedule.
The next morning Harry and Hermione woke up at there normal time. Harry and Hermione did there work out in the main courtyard of the Viper Lair. After there work out Harry and Hermione went back to there rooms to take a bath and got dressed in there newly bought clothes. Then the two teens walked to the Great Hall for breakfast. Where Harry and Hermione sat down at there head spot. Breakfast appeared before them.
As Harry and Hermione where eating breakfast the other members walked in to the hall, Ernie MacMillan was the first to enter the Great Hall. Ernie asked Harry and Hermione about the training that they would be doing that day. By nine everyone had there breakfast and Harry and Hermione had all of the members out in the main courtyard to teach them the different Muggle exercises they would be doing.
When the older teens first saw Harry and Hermione in there workout clothes the girls would looking hungrily at Harry and the guys stared at Hermione. It took a quit bit of effort by Harry and Hermione to get the members of the Order to pay attention to what they where teaching and not there bodies. By noon the members had learned most of the basic stretches and exercises.
After lunch Harry and Hermione spent a half hour teaching a few different meditation styles. Then they spend an hour letting the Order members try out the different styles so they could find the best style for them self. After meditation practice Harry then started to go over all the different things that he had taught them in D.A. until three o'clock. There was a little grumbling about how long they where working.
Harry said in his commanding voice "Today was an easy day, starting not tomorrow but the day after you will be waking up a five in the morning to work out until six thirty. You will then have lessons to dinner at six o'clock so minus Breakfast and lunch you will have lessons for eleven hours a day at a minimum. Hermione will probably want you all to read for around three hours a night. Most of you will probably go to bed at around one in the morning. Now why don't all of you take turns dueling each other, while Hermione and I go see the Orb of Knowledge."
Harry and Hermione went to the Great Hall and to the orb room. In the room with the large glass orb Harry and Hermione kneeled before the orb. The Orb voices said "we will be planting a little information about the Order and how you will find what your element is." Once the Orb had planted the promised information the two teens went to a small practice room to see if they could find out what there element was.
Harry and Hermione walked to a small practice room to try and do the basic ritual of finding there element. They would have to go into a deep trance and say a chant until they saw what there element was. Harry and Hermione tried the basic ritual but had no luck in finding out what there element was. At four o'clock Harry and Hermione gave up for the day and went to see how the other members duels where going.
Later at eight o'clock all of the members of the Viper Order where gathering in the ritual chamber to do the mind enhancing ritual. Once all the members had completed the ritual they went off to there chambers to go to sleep. Harry and Hermione went to the work room that had the Basilisk skin and started to cut up the skin to make the uniforms needed for each member. That night they completed five of the Basilisk skin skirts.
Over the next week the members had gotten use to not needing to sleep as much. They had also gotten the hang of the Muggle exercises. Most members had also found the style of meditation that worked best for them. Dennis and Lee Jordan where having problems meditating because they had such active minds. Hermione decided she would help them by using a mind calming charm until they got the hang of Meditating.
Harry and Hermione had just found out what there element was. Harry element was lighting and Hermione water. They where now learning how to connect to there element. Harry also found that his spell casting was getting much more powerful. Harry had started to learn how to use less then his full strength in casting of spells. Harry was afraid that some of his spells may become too powerful and end up hurting someone in practice duels.
Today was a Saturday and Harry and Hermione had finished the skirt part of the viper uniform. After the morning work out where a few people had started to try and keep there minds clear while working out. This was for advance meditation practice. Harry and Hermione had given each member the skirt part of the uniform. The teens went back to there rooms to put on the basilisk skin and a simple black robe. Then the members went back to the training room to test them out.
Harry and Hermione had the members test out the full body protection. All of the members where very impressed by the full body shield. The robes got damage by different attacks but the shield worked great. A few repair charms later and the black robes where as good as new. After dinner Harry had Angelina Johnson and Zacharias Smith give Malfoy the antidote to the strong sleeping potion and then bring him to the Great Hall. Ten minutes later Angelina and Zack pushed Draco Malfoy into the Great Hall and in front of Harry and Hermione.
Draco Malfoy was butt naked as custom with the Viper Order all prisoners and slaves where to remain naked at all times as they lost there right as a human being with magic. Angelina pushed Draco into a keeling potion. Harry stood up and asked "Draco Malfoy why did you take the dark mark upon you left forearm?" Draco looked around the vast Great Hall and at the people who where sitting at both of the very long tables on each side of the Great Hall and finally back up to Harry and Hermione.
Draco demanded "Potty where the hell am I? I demand to be let go when the Ministry find out about th--." Hermione stood up and said "You will address Harry as my Lord High Priest and you will answer his question." Malfoy laughed and said "Potty a High Priest now that's funny. Now shut up you stupid Mudblood whore." Harry said in a commanding voice "You will never call anybody that disgusting word again and you will only address Hermione as my Lady High Priestess."
Draco said "As if I would ever call your little bitch Mudblood a High Priestess. There is nothing you can do to stop me from calling her a Mudblood." Harry and Hermione had angry looks on there faces. Harry said "High Priestess please give Mr. Malfoy fifty slashes of your whip." Hermione took out her wand and Malfoy was suddenly suspend in the air by his wrist. A few seconds later Hermiones wand turned into a golden whip.
Hermione walked behind the arrogant blond. Hermione called out "Apprentice Zacharias please count out the lashes." Hermione then started to whip Draco Malfoy. Malfoy screamed at the top of his lungs when the first lash landed on his back. Draco tried to fight the magic that was holding him up in the air but to no avail. The whip kept landing on his back over and over. Each lash got a little more painful then the last. By the thirtieth lash Draco body was getting very sweaty. At forty lashes Draco voices went raw and by the fiftieth Draco was a total mess. Draco body went completely limp and he hung in the air sobbing like a baby.
The whip Hermione was holding return to being a wand. Hermione then flicked her wand to heal Draco Malfoy vocal cords. Hermione then said "In about a week Harry and I are going to enchant the wands of all of the members of the Viper Order. Girls your wand will turn in to a whip that as you can see is very effective for punishment." Ginny and the Patil twins looked very eager to get there wand enchanted.
Hermione return to her seat. After five minutes Harry stood up and said "Mr. Malfoy if you ever use that disgusting word again I will have Hermione double the lashes you just received. You will treat me and everyone in the Order with total respect. In a weeks time the other girls will have there wands enchanted to be able to turn into a whip. They can whip you at any time for no reason at all I am also sure that any female member would be willing to whip you at the request of any male member of the Viper Order."
Malfoy coughed a few times and Harry went on "Now tell me why did you join Lord Voldemort?" Draco and the members of the Viper Order cringed at Voldemort name. Draco Malfoy said "I had no choice I was born to serve him." Harry said "While I know that is true you still would have join him even if you had a choice. So as Head Priest of the Viper Order you are sentence to be a slave of the Viper Order for the rest of you natural life. Angelina, Zack please take him back to his cell he is to remain there until the slavery ritual has been preformed. "
Over the next two weeks Harry and Hermione had started having the Order members learn the Legilimens spell and Harry started to teach the members a more advance shield charm and a few of the darker curses that he knew. Harry and Hermione had finished making the amulets and rings they had also started to enchant each member's wand with Parselrunes for weapon mode. Harry found that his magic core was almost full. When Harry did a lot of magic a greenish light would appear around him.
That Sunday afternoon Harry would be performing a ritual on each member giving them the ability to speak Parseltongue. At twelve o'clock all the members of the Viper Order where gathered in the Great Hall. One at a time a starting with Ginny they would come before Harry and say an oath that they would always stay true to the Viper Order. Harry then would enter there mind and a say a long incantation that he learned from the Orb of Knowledge. Once Harry finished saying the incantation a dark light would fly from Harrys hand and hit the person kneeling before him.
From this point onwards the person who was hit by the spell could speak Parseltongue for the rest of there life. It took Harry two hours to perform the ritual on each member. Everyone was now truly a member of the Viper Order. Hermione then handed out the amulets and a ring to each member. The following day Harry would teach the males how to use there swords. Harry was no expert but had learned a lot from the Orb of Knowledge. Hermione had gotten very good at using her whip. She would be teaching the females members how to use the whip.
The first half of summer past in a blur for Harry and Hermione and the rest of the teenage members of the Viper Order, all of the teenage members began to think of the Viper Lair as home. Harry and Hermione had found out what there element was and learned how to use there magic to connect to the natural energy of the element. Harry was now able to channel the element of lighting threw his body and out his fingers to hit what ever Harry wanted with a very powerful blast of electricity. Harry loved this ability and could not wait to use it in a duel with a Death Eater.
Hermione had learn to channel water threw her body and was able to have a steady blast of water come out of her palm like a fire hosepipe. Hermione used this ability to break threw an opponent shield and to knock them off of there feet. Harry and Hermione also started to learn very powerful Egyptian curses most of witch where done in Parseltongue.
Parcelmagic was similar to elemental magic because you connected to the natural energy of nature.
With Parcelmagic you could do things you could normally never do. Natural energy was all around you but you had to know how to use your magic to connect to it. This art was lost to all except the Druids who where a master in this art and now the reborn Viper Order. With a single Parseltongue spell they could turn a part of a room floor in to quicksand or conjure over twelve Vipers with a single spell. They had a lot more to learn but the two had a very good start so far.
The rest of the Order was almost on the same level as Harry and Hermione where when they left Hogwarts. With over twelve hours a day of training they all quickly learned what took Harry and Hermione a year to learn in secret down under Hogwarts in the Chamber of Secrets. The Viper members could now enter someone mind by just looking a person in the eyes.
They also learned how to protect there minds with Occlumency by either throwing someone out of there mind or by misleading and controlling what a Legilimens saw. They also had learned most of the dark curses from the book of "The Pure Black Arts of Magical Warfare." The Viper Order members dueling skills grew by leaps and bounds because the Viper members would have daily dueling practice for two hours a day.
The Viper members had also learned how to turn them self invisible and practiced this skill in duels sometimes. The members that did not know how to apparate where taught how to. Later Harry and Hermione taught the group how to make untraceable portkeys. The group had also gotten in to very good shape. They could all run for a long period of time and lift a fare amount of weight. The Viper members had gotten a good tan and where becoming some the best looking teenagers.
The group had also got fairly proficient in using there wands in weapon mode. The males learned how to use a sword and to fight in a duel with one. They also learned how to quickly cast very powerful spells with there swords. There Sword acted like an amplifier making spells more powerful then normal. The females had learned how to use there whip and how to hit a small target. They also where learning how to cast spells in a large area. Poor Draco Malfoy was used for target practice a lot. Draco Malfoy was whipped almost daily by female members of the Order who wanted to improve there control of the whip, Hermione, Ginny and the Patil twins where the best with the whip.
Draco Malfoy had undergone a slavery ritual that made it where he could not escape or cause harm to any members of the Viper Order. Draco Malfoy's job was to help Dobby and Winky cook and clean. At night he had to do room service for anyone that wanted food or drink brought up there chambers or any where else in the underground palace at night time. Draco had to perform the sleep reduction ritual so he could work more hours in a day.
That night the members of the Viper Order would be celebrating Harry and Nevilles birthday. That night Dobby and Winky with the help of Draco cooked up a very large feast and a very large birthday cake. When it was brought out Harry and Neville blew out the seventeen candles together. After everyone had some cake all of the teens had a party that night. They played a few different wizard games and went out side in the desert night and went out for rides on Harry and Hermiones flying carpet. That night the teens had a lot of fun just being teenagers.
The rest of the summer past quickly and Harry and Hermione had gotten even better at Elemental Magic. Harry and Hermione had learned how to use there element to form a shield to protect from magical and physical attacks. The two teens also learned how to use there element to attack multiple people at once. Now Harry and Hermione where starting to learn advance Elemental magic. Harry was learning how to make lighting strike from the sky to where ever he wanted even on a cloudless day. Hermione had just learned how to make a small puddle turn in to a massive amount of water even from a distance.
Harry and Hermione had learned a lot of useful Parcelmagic spells, like they learned a spell that could create a sand storm in a room with no sand. They also learned a lot of curses and hexes that put the book of "The Pure Black Arts of Magical Warfare" to shame. There was one curse that if you where hit would kill you and turn your body into a very large viper egg that would hatch in about minutes time. Once hatched a Parseltongue could command the very large viper to attack there enemies.
Harry was now relearning some of the spells he already knew so he could use his vast amount of power to cast them in a more effective ways. When Harry cast a cleaning spell four months ago it worked for him just like it did for everyone else. Now Harry could clean a large room completely with a simple cleaning charm. Harry found he could levitate just about anything with amount of power he had. When he connected to the natural energy he was afraid of how much energy he could get access to.
The rest of the members of the Viper Order had first mastered most of what Harry and Hermione had taught them and started to use all the skills they learned in the duels that they had everyday. Then Harry and Hermione had started to teach the members of the Viper Order how to find out what there element was and later how to connect to it. Harry and Hermione did take a few guesses of what element a person would be. They where right about Ginny who was fire and Neville who was Earth but where dead wrong about Angelina and Katie Bell they thought they would have been Air but they where both Water.
Each element had a twice a week appointment with the Orb of Knowledge for a half a hour to learn there element. Harry and Hermione had also started to teach the other members of the Viper Order how to connect to the natural energy that was everywhere and later how to use that energy to cast Parcelmagic spells.
Both the males and females had gotten a lot better at using there wands in weapon mode. The males where becoming very proficient in hand to hand sword fighting and using there sword as a Muggle and Magical weapon both. The female's had gotten much better control with the whip. They now could use there whip to cast wide spell very accurately at a still target. They where working on getting better at moving targets. The members of the Viper Order where becoming very powerful and skillful warriors.
It was September the Third and it was dinner time and everyone was eating in the Great Hall. After dinner Harry called for a meeting. Harry said "We now need to figure out a way to track down and start capturing Death Eaters. We also need to get current on the news in England. All we know is that Voldemort destroyed another small town on my birthday. So does anybody have any ideas on how we can track down Death Eaters?"
A few weeks ago Harry had learned from Dobby when he went to Diagon Alley for supplies that there was a very large attack on another small town, no one survived the massacre most where ether kissed by the Dementor's or killed by the Death Eaters. Harry and the rest of the Order where going to make them pay.
When Susan Bones stood and started talking Harry was snapped out of his dark thoughts. Susan said "To bad we could not track magic like they do at the Ministry if we could we could look for the magical signature of the dark mark." Hermione said "Susan you may be on to something. If a few of you would be willing to help me, we can see if Susan's idea is viable." Luna, Ernie and Zack volunteered to help Hermione research Susan's idea.
Harry said "That is good thank you Hermione and Susan. Now we need start getting reconnected to the magical world. Lee and Angelina how would you like to take a Portkey back to England a few times a week to get the daily prophet and anything else the Order needs." Lee and Angelina agreed to the jobs Harry assigned them. Harry said "Susan and Ginny I want you two to get together and start making a list of everyone you know about that works for the ministry. I want to know where they stand in the war and the world in general what power and responsibility they have and if you have any idea where they live."
Susan and Ginny agreed to there task and they said they would ask the other members to look over there list when it was done to see if they could add anything else. Ten minutes later the meeting was over and everyone left to do there own thing as Harry and Hermione had not planned any late night lesson that night.
Two days later Hermione and her group took a trip back to England in disguise to get some books they would need for there project. Lee and Angelina would go back to England ever other day to get the Daily Prophet and any other news and gossip they could about Voldemort and his Death Eaters, the Ministry and the little tidbits they could get on what Professor Dumbledore was doing. They would then report what they heard at dinner time in the Great Hall.
A/N This was a hard chapter for me to write. That is what it took me longer to get it out. I thought I found a beta but I guess not. So if you want the job please let me know. If any of you would like to draw me some picture or make banner of this fic for my Yahoo Group. I would love you for do that for me. You can find my yahoo group by going to my profile page and clicking on the link that says "Homepage"
