Denial, Blood of The Fae

Raven hummed in thought as he idly worked on his homework assignments. Currently, an essay on the Leo constellation. Its meaning and purpose. Uses in a ritual. All that kind of stuff.

Honestly, he could write it without paying proper attention, which he was.

"Nicolas Flamel." "Who is that?" "I'm not sure."

Raven tilted his head and raised his head to glance around the library and saw Rose with two other little first years, or so he assumed since he never saw them much.

Focusing for a moment he's pretty sure it was Granger and Longbottom? He didn't really care.

Though he was curious why they wanted to know about Nicolas Flamel. Also who didn't know the creator of The One True Philosopher Stone.

"Why would he entrust whatever it is to the headmaster to be guarded on the forbidden corridor?"

Raven felt a grin growing on his lips at that. Oh how curious. The philosopher stone was possibly in the school? He wanted to see it.

He had no desire to use it. Study it? Hell yes!

With a scary grin, he quickly finished up his homework and started cleaning up his area, a wave of his wand having his books sent back to their proper places. One book shoved into his pouch before he was moving at a steady pace out the library and to his room.

Later in the night, at around midnight perhaps, Raven grinned as he donned his mystic code. It was something he and Lori had created for him.

It was a simple outfit. Black shoes, black pants, long sleeve black shirt and a pair of black gloves. They were fingerless black gloves more specifically due to his enjoyment of turning his nails into claws.

Raven pleased his outfit was on properly turned his hair black, his eyes fading to a dark brown color. Happy with that, he removed the cross earring he got last Christmas and placed it down on his bed and headed out.

"A Cerberus. Interesting. Now though, I do wonder how they got you in here. Probably broke and fixed the wall, perhaps a portkey using Albus' ability as headmaster? No, that seems unlikely due to your kinds natural magic resistance." Raven mused out loud as he rubbed the three heads softly.

The very same Cerberus was currently out like a light due to the floating harp behind him. Softly ensuing the heads didn't smack into the ground, he moved the guardian of the underworld over with a bit of effort and hopped down the the trapdoor.

Honestly, what kind of moron used a trap door instead of hiding the entrance where only you know how to get to it?

However as he landed, he felt himself get caught and grabbed by… plants?

"Oh, devil snare. Not a bad idea, but if someone knows fire spells, or a simple, oh I don't know, Lumos, then not an issue." Raven declared smugly as the vines harshly moved away from him, allowing him to fall onto solid floor.

"Huh, keys. That's an interesting one." Raven mused glancing at the door and seeing the numerous charms preventing the unlocking charms from working.

An idle glance upwards let him to see the real key, an old run down one, but he could also see the charms attached to it that would have the idle keys target the person afterwards.

"I ain't need no key." Raven declared as with a grin he lifted his leg and kicked, breaking through the door as he just went through it. He'd repair it on his way out.

"Oh, a chess match?" Raven laughed knowing immediately this was his dear transfiguration teachers puzzle. That was for sure.

"I guess I'll start with E-1, Extinction." He laughed like a maniac in the shadowy room as he blasted apart the chess pieces, he could always fix them.

Moving on, he encountered an empty room and figured they mustn't have had time to do anything here yet, or were working on. Walking past into the next room, he saw a fuck ton of potions hanging on shelves.

"Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind,

Two of us will help you, whichever you would find,

One among us seven will let you move ahead,

Another will transport the drinker back instead,

Two among our number hold only nettle wine,

Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in line.

Choose, unless you wish to stay here for evermore,To help you in your choice, we give you these clues four: First, however slyly the poison tries to hide, You will always find some on nettle wine's left side; Second, different are those who stand at either end,

But if you would move onwards neither is your friend; Third, as you see clearly, all are different size, Neither dwarf nor giant holds death in their insides; Fourth, the second left and the second on the right Are twins once you taste them, though different at first sight."

Raven huffed, he had easily figured it out that this was Snape's, and obviously none of them were a potion that would get you through the fire. The man was smarter then that. All these were poisons.

With a swish of his wand, for extra reassurance in the strength of the spell, he cast the flame freezing charm.

An with a strut, he moved through the black flames. Once going through, he felt weird in the next room. It was an open type room, flames danced around it casting light and shadows across it.

In the middle of the room, sitting on a pedestal with no hidden traps or wards, lay a red stone. Just looking at it gave him a headache.

"Ok, that's definitely a philosopher stone. Mine now thank you very much." He grinned as he created a fake with a matching magical signature, but obviously none of the properties.

Then he pocketed his new toy and started heading out the room. Repairing the damages he did as he went backwards.

With one last pet of the Cerberus he dubbed Fluffy, he headed out.

Raven stood in an used empty classroom on All Saints' Eve, aka holloween as it was called now. He was currently planning on the use of a ritual.

Only possible to cast once every three hundred years. When 3 stars aligned, 4 deathly realms aligned, 7 realms stood in a straight line, 13 days until the moon was full, and 81 spiritual realms aligned.

Its materials were not unexpected. A burning flame. A bone of a recently dead being. A red ruby. A piece of the moon. A gem filled with magical energy of the caster. The magical circle made using the casters blood. To top it off, a brilliant shadow diamond, which was a diamond filled with shadow magic energy. Bathed in shadows made by magic for a solid year.

It was officially called the heritage saints ritual, evoking the power of Yahweh almighty through the power of his saints on a day celebrating them all.

"Ok, it's all correctly aligned. No blotches of blood in the drawn runes. Now, I wait until the crisp time of 7pm exactly and begin my chant." Raven mused as he glanced at the floating tempest charm beside him.

6:58pm.

With a smile, he glanced at the paper stuck to the wall nearby with the chant attached to it. Memorizing it again, not like he could forget it.

6:59:07

6:59:14

6:59:37

6:59:57

7:00pm

"By the hollowed saints. Hear my call in thy afterlife. Please accept my offerings and grant onto me thy knowledge held by thine creator. Grant onto thy knowledge of thines own heritage. Oh blessed saints-" Ravens chant was interrupted by the wall breaking and a club smashing through it.

Standing there was a troll drooling while holding its club. Just past where it smashed its club into the wall was those same first years talking about the philosophers stone.

"Run." He said softly, his calm tone betraying the absolute rage he felt as he vanished the proof of his ritual. The more valuable parts being stored into his pouch. His blood for sure vanished.

The three children ran off, the troll turned to follow them, but he growled out and fired off an explosive fire spell slamming into its face.

"You cost me something great. Months of planning. Ruined. Ruined due to someone's fucking incompetence! Now you pay for it!" He growled out with dual tones as the shadows seemed to dance around him.

Spell after spell splashed against the troll, most doing not much damage due to it thick skin and magic resistance.

"Spells won't work, so I'll try the more direct approach." He growled and a spear formed in his hand as he leapt up, a whip forming in his free hand as he used it to wrap around the trolls neck and swing himself forward and stab through its chest, but the troll growled and smacked him away as the spear barley impaled itself into its skin.

"Tough bastard." He mused as he took a deep breath and calmed himself, the familiar feeling of reinforcement magecraft having him on a high as he rushed forward, another spear in hand as he leapt up stabbing it into the trolls stomach and using it as a spring board to reach the other spear where he created a large war hammer and hammered the spear into its upper body fully.

The hammer being spun again in a 360 into the throat of the troll, not one to let up, he stabbed another spear into its open mouth and held the mouth open and proceeded to fire off 5 high tier fire spells he knew into its throat.

"Next time, don't interrupt my fucking ritual!" Raven growled out in the same dual tone as the shadows in the room rose up again. With a huff, he lodged a spear right into its brain through the eye hole.

Huffing, he vanished all his summoned stuff and walked away, five minutes later the teachers would stumbled upon its corpse.

The next day he would be questioned on it, but he only said he took care of it. The anger rolling off him made everyone know he had a reason for being that violent, but they wouldn't get an answer out of him.

Though of course, Fawkes almost did for being so awesome and cuddly, for a Phoenix.

We're back baby! Sorry for the wait, I've just been in pain and on a lot of medication after I had some dental work done. I had a very deep cleaning done on my teeth and my gums lasered. It sucked, I'm just glad my pain tolerance is so strong, or else I'd probably be crying out until today.

Also can I just say, FUCK PILLS! Like how the fuck do they expect me to swallow these fucking pills that are so fucking huge I can't even get them down my throat? Thankfully liquid medicine exist. Because fuck no!

Anyway yeah, that's my reason for taking so long to write. I've been doped up on medication. Made it hard to focus on one thing for so long, more then normal. Anyway, I also want to mention something… and now I've forgotten it. I blame the medication lol.

Anyways, I just wanna say it's good to be back and hope you all enjoyed the most recent chapter. I'll try to go back to ensuring at least two chapters a week for release. Hopefully more depending on how busy it is when I go back to work tomorrow on Monday.

I REMEMBER!

What I forgot I was wanting to say. It was about food! It sucked not being able to eat what I wanted since I had my gums lasered. I'd have to go back and have someone remove any fallen food in them. Not a fun experience if I did that. Soft foods are not fun. I missed being able to eat my favorite crunchy food a lot. I swear, I had pizza today after so long, and by the creator, that shit was so fucking good I swear I saw stars lmao.

Anyway, I'll stop now and head out, ima go to sleep.

Peace out!
