Chapter 40: Harry Potter: Book 4 Part 2 ("Parley & Summons")
Opening the door, Harriet could feel the tension in the air as she walked to the kitchen. There sitting at the table were the 3 Rulers and Fou's servants, Merlin was gracefully sipping tea across from Jeanne who was currently sporting an awkward look as she glanced up from her own cup.
Both Artorias were staring each other down, neither giving any hint of backing down, while Amakusa and Archer sat across from each other. Archer ignored Amakusa as he worked on serving himself some tea.
"Ah! Harriet, welcome, we have some questions for you." Jeanne, the first to notice her entrance, smiled and waved at Harriet in greeting as she spoke.
Harriet paused at the entrance to the kitchen with her eye twitching as she watched, her face slowed morphed to show her displeasure at the Rulers being in the room... She clapped her hands in front of her face and took a deep breath before yelling.
"MOTHERFU-"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Harriet walked back into the anti-chamber at the back of the main hall to the faces of the Hogwarts students, there were 2 Slytherin students a 6th and 7th-year in one corner as the 4th year Hufflepuff student and Cedric Diggory comforted the 2 first year Griffyndor students that would be joining their team.
"Hello," Harriet spoke lightly catching all of their attention, all of them turned to her, "Today we will be summoning our servants, Any questions before we begin?" She asked, they could all clearly see she was exhausted with bags under her eyes as if she hadn't slept last night.
One of the 1st years rose their hand into the air, she nodded to them, he took a second to breathe and help calm his shaking body before asking a crucial question. "What are we summoning?"
She walked up to the 1st year who shied away behind the 4th year shuffle puff, she looked at him, took a knew and smiled while opening her arms invitingly. He took a couple of seconds to watch Harriet for any deceit before gingerly accepting the hug, she patted him on the back as she started explaining.
"We will be summoning Heroic-Spirits, they will be our partners for this war... We will rely on them to protect us, as they will us to sustain them." She spoke softly into his ear as she stood up with the boy in her arms.
"This is a Holy Grail War, something ones such as you and your house-mate should never be able to bare witness to nor participate." She paced slowly around the room with the boy in her arms and head on her shoulder comforting him like a mother does her child.
"The most efficient way of getting rid of a servant is to kill the Master, However you need naught do such." His muffled cries clenched her heartstrings, he was so afraid of death she looked at his housemate who rushed in front of her and put on a brave face.
"E-Even if we die! What is the point of this!?" The child yelled, no demanded to know, she smiled sadly as she crouched down and pulled them into her hug. "To have your ultimate wish granted." She spoke with a sad smile as she looked up at the rest of the students.
Intrigue was clear on their faces, the Slytherin students had their full attention on her, she picked up the other child and held them both tightly and paced around the room slowly bouncing them to calm them down.
"However, this grail is not what is promised, for it is corrupted with All the World's Evils... If you were to ask it to make you the most beautiful person on earth, it would scar everyone so horrifically that you would have to be the most beautiful person." She spoke bitterly when speaking about the grail.
"If so, why was it even created in the first place? If this mystical object that could grant any wish was just a giant monkey paw... Why create it at all?" The 7th-year Slytherin asked, rather astutely, it was a fair question.
"It shouldn't even be in our world at all," Harriet said as she laid both first years on a conjured couch, her words drawing surprise from the rest of her Faction. "It wasn't even always corrupted anyway... We will be fighting the other factions, and the last faction standing will fight to win the grail."
Standing up she turned around to meet her fellow masters, she viewed each one slowly, the Hufflepuffs looked conflicted but determined to protect the children behind her... The Slytherins, while apprehensive had ambition within their eyes.
She turned around to the Gryfindors who were holding each other, their tears all dried and determination for survival burned in their eyes. "I'll summon first and show you all how it's done." She said and walked to the centre of the room and cleared enough space for her summoning.
She set forth with a stick of chalk, drawing a summoning circle on the floor, Amakusa chose this moment to appear but stayed quiet as he watched her pull out a pair of rusted daggers that were no more than sticks of rust at this point.
She placed them in the center of the circle and stood above them, her hand held out as she chanted.
"Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill.
Let each be turned over five times, simply breaking asunder the fulfilled time.
Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation.
Let my great master ******** be the ancestor."
The air picked up with a furious wind as she chanted, a drop of blood fell from her hand from the strength she was clutching her hand with. When she spoke the name of her master all they could hear was gibberish as she opened her eyes, her clothes rustled in the wind.
"Raise a wall, against the wind that shall fall.
Close the four cardinal gates. Come out from the crown.
Rotate the three-branched road reaching the Kingdom."
Her hair wiped around behind her as the wind generated from the summoning pushed the students back, she took a deep breath as she continued the chant without stopping.
"An oath shall be sworn here! I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven.
I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell! – From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three great words of power, come forth from the ring of restraint, Protector of the Balance!"
At the end of her chant the wind stopped as blue motes of light gathered in the air above her, she tilted her head up and reached her arms out in time as a small child fell from above... She held the child up in the air as the wind picked back up covering the child's voice as they spoke.
"Assassin - Jack the Ripper. Please take care of me, Mommy." The small child smiled at Harriet as the wind finally stopped for good, her new mommy smiled at her as she brought her in for a hug, she hugged her tightly giving Jack the mother's warmth she so craved.
"Oka-san will take care of you from now on, little one." She spoke softly into Jack's ear as she smiled and hugged the servant, she may not be able to rely upon Fou's servants for this grail war as per the agreement with the Rulers but she will take care of this child if her life depended on it.
Turning around she stared at the reset of her Faction, her allies and enemies to be, she had to explain all of this another 2 times and she dreaded having to kill any of her classmates.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Harriet had put Jack to sleep after meeting the rest of their faction and sent the rest of the students and servants away. She turned to Amakusa who walked around a pillar and made himself known while she took a seat next to her new child.
"My~ My~ it seems you're a mother now." He spoke jovially as if it was no big deal.
"I supposed I am..." Harriet said quietly as she brushed Jacks Hair, she would have to hide Jack while the others summoned their servants.
The sound of the door being opened prompted the ruler to leave, in his place was Jeanne d'Arc who quickly left to find her own hiding spot.
