I Could Possibly Do What!?!
*****************
Saturday morning, around 10am, Hermione and Nev flooed into the Manor, and a day of research was underway. After gathering all the books they could find on Chuzzor’s, and a few on vampires, incubi and elves, they began making detail notes on any possible traits that could show after Harry went through his coming of age.
The list, again, covered the fact that he would probably be quite tall, have blackish/red hair, green eyes, and would be extremely graceful and agile. Other traits that not known were compiled into three lists:
Vampire Traits
1. “Rolling” is a temporary hypnotic state/mind control through eye contact that vampires
use to hide movements or the illusion of instantaneous movement, or use to command
victims to do whatever the vampire wishes temporarily
2. A cloaking ability/shadow casting
3. Extremely strong physically
4. Enhanced hearing, eyesight and smell
5. Ability to remain completely still - motionless
6. Affinity for Blood Magic and Ancient Runes
7. Ability to call some animal species - “Animal Call”
Elvin Traits
1. Love of nature or a type of empathy with nature
2. Long-lived or immortal
3. Powerful both physically and magically
4. Affinity for wandless magic or staff magic
5. Youthful, fertile, beautiful beings
6. Fairer and wiser than humans
7. Keener senses
8. Affinity, or natural warrior.
9. Graceful and agile
Incubi Traits
1. Sexual Predators
2. Have an allure; a sexual allure, pull
3. Demonic Males that prey on women, raping them while they sleep, while victim
experiences the whole act in there nightmare.
4. Offspring will either be prone to evil, as their demonic fathers, or powerful.
Merlin, according to legend is said to be the by-product of the raping of a nun by an
Incubi.
Some of the possibilities made Harry a little uncomfortable. He still wasn’t completely sold on the whole Blood Magic thing, but one trait that terrified him was the demonic dream raping of women of the incubi. His Grandfather wrote that they were sexual creatures similar to incubi, but he really hoped he’d find out that it was just the sexual pull he had read, and not the demonic nature.
A private journal by Roderick Thurox described three known facts all Chuzzor’s have in great detail. The first was that a Chuzzor turned into a magical tiger like creature, called a Repalliator which stems from the word repalliation which means - Cloaking or covering up again. They were known for their fearless aggression, razor like teeth with large canines, averaged around 30-35 pounds, and were like a jaguar or cheetah having extreme bursts of speed to capture their prey. A Repalliator had the ability to enlarge its body mass to that of a lion sized animal when needed, and had chameleon like cloaking qualities. It could fully disappear into the surroundings and move about when at normal size, but could only cloak itself when motionless in its larger size.
The second Chuzzor fact was something referenced to as ‘Gliding’. It was the way a Chuzzor moved about, like apparation was to a wizard. To travel by ‘Gliding’, one had to connect to and ride the threads of magic. Every living thing, muggle, plant or magical being issued a magical signifying wire that connected to a complex threading network. The hardest part of this form of travel was learning how to identify who or what you were trying to travel to, and grabbing that thread to glide on. It took deep meditation to first find how your own magical wire entered this complex highway, and then how other objects and beings close to you connected. It would take some practice in “feeling” out the signature of people and objects, but once a Chuzzor mastered that, it would become instantaneous. The major advantage to ‘Gliding’ was that it was completely silent. Harry was starting to understand that Chuzzor’s were built to attack…powerful, silent, and unseen. He could definitely see the advantages to those traits.
The last trait all Chuzzor’s have is ‘The Breath’. This was a misty “breath”, emitted from the glands in the neck and mouth of a Chuzzor that would enter its victims mouth and would slow or freeze the victim momentarily, or in extreme cases, could be reversed to steal away the magical powers of the person it was cast on as the Chuzzor breathed the mist back into his/her own body.
‘This must’ve been what upset Dobby so much that day.’ thought Harry. ‘I can see where this could scare the shit out of most people, but could really work well in a fight with Voldemort and his Death Eaters.’
While gliding, it was only possible to slow/freeze the victim as you passed by them on the thread network. The downside to doing ‘The Breath’ while in travel was, if done to often, within a small time span, a Chuzzor would tax their magical core and be almost as badly off as their victim. Roderick noted that he had experimented with this, and it took doing ‘The Breath’ in travel around 4-6 times in the span of an hour to cause his core to deplete and him to be knocked out for almost 48 hours. He also noted that 1-2 times an hour had little to no effect on him.
While Harry was reading this journal and making all necessary notes, Neville was deep in another journal that highlighted what Blood Magic was and how the Ancient Runes were used in this branch of ancient magic. Blood Magic was dark magic, but not all the outcomes were dark. It was the fact that it used another‘s blood that made it dark, according to Ministry standards. This was similar to some theories that explained that even the Unforgivable Curses could be used for good. Using the Avada Kedavra Curse to put a lame animal down, or the Crucatius Curse could be used to shock the nervous system and help a heart attack victim, or the Imperius Curse could prevent someone from committing suicide by taking over their mind temporarily. The Unforgivable Curses would forever be labeled dark, even though, in the examples showed, the reasons for their use was light. Harry, Neville and Hermione were starting to understand that magic was just that, magic….it was the intent behind the castor. Hermione vowed to do more research on the subject while in time warp.
Neville’s list about Blood Magic contained the following information:
1. Blood Magic was Dark Magic - but could have positive results
2. Needs a ceremonial bowl and knife to perform - located in the Thurox Family Vault
3. Ancient Runes to cast, and needs the castor or victims blood to activate the Runes
4. To reverse the effects, the blood of both victim and castor is needed and the Runes
need to be written in the exact reverse, meaning, if the castor doesn’t share this info,
it would make it almost unbreakable, unless someone was a Master of Ancient Runes.
5. The ability to spell objects using castors blood that are only able to summoned and/or
used by castor. Examples: wand, staff, wards, amulets of protection, etc.
6. Can inscribe runes into items and once blood hits them, activates the cursed effects.
Examples: throwing stars, swords, knives, daggers, etc.
7. Blood Magic performed during sex, can produce severe effects. (see 3rd journal)
“Well, I hope I don’t get all of these traits…damn scary some of them are.” said Harry, leaning back and rubbing his face as if to clear his thinking.
“I know. I mean, some of the uses for the Blood Magic can be quite scary. I think your Great Grandfather was a little mental….he actually performed some of those castings during sex. What was he thinking, casting the runes and blood in order to curse an entire family line with poverty, or with infertility, or to take their very life force, all for experimentation. Sick, very sick!” said Hermione in exasperation.
“Harry, what will you do if you do get some of the nastier traits?” asked Neville.
“I’ll sign a contract, having myself eliminated if I become a demonic raping, sex maniac. I really don’t want to think I could be that way….but we’ll just have to wait and see.” said Harry with a huge sigh.
“Harry, don’t even joke about that. I think our brains are mush…let’s call it a night.” replied Hermione in her ever assertive way.
“I wasn’t joking, ‘Mione. If I do get that trait, I don’t want to be around to hurt anyone.” he said giving both his friends a serious look that told them he was speaking the truth.
Relaxing his face some, Harry continued, “Your right, though, it’s almost 9pm, so why don’t we hit the pool for a late night swim. Thank Merlin for Dobby and Winky remembering to feed us, or we would have starved, as engrossed as we were. I say we leave this till after the trials, when we can sit down with Remus and Poppy. I’m curious what traits my mother got.”
“Sounds good to me. I don’t think I could look at anymore of these books for awhile anyway.” finished Neville, all heading off to get their swimsuits on, spending the next few hours just relaxing and laughing over some of the memories from the parties this summer. It was almost midnight when they all parted ways to go to bed.
