Chương 13: Sirius Black Part 2
Draco nodded to Holly "Even if it is temporary, I am asking you to carry a small burden, so I owe you that much." he agreed "When you received that scar, a bit of Voldemort's soul was attached to you through the scar, and with it came the ability to talk to snakes. We'll need that ability of yours to enter the Chamber of Secrets"
"What?!" Sirius had his eyes grow large at the mention of entering the Chamber of Secrets. "Why would you want to go there?"
"When Voldemort returns do we want him to have a convenient basilisk that he can unleash in the school?" Draco pointed out to Sirius "As for the other reason, from looking into the future a bit, all that was found in the chamber was the Basilisk originally, but I suspect that there are more secrets hidden there, if one but possesses the keys. I suspect that bringing the pendant I just received there will be benificial. This is just a theory, since I haven't been able to confirm it either. I can only see a future that was unchanged by my actions, meaning things that change what would happen can no longer be observed."
"Why would you care about these other secrets?" Sirius asked Draco.
"Simply put, Salazar Slytherin was not some evil git like many people seem to assume." Draco said looking at Sirius with a serious expression "Think about the time he was living in. The population of witches and wizards were really low compared to today, and muggles routinely tried to hunt and kill them, which was the root cause for his concern about inviting muggle-borns into the school, he was worried that they'd bring muggles to attack them again, either intentionally or through negligence. Inviting and teaching muggle-borns was not a risk he wanted to take. Understanding that, I want to see if I can find anything there that can remind stupid witches and wizards that he was a good man, just cautious. After all, his best friend was Godric Gryffindor, do you really think they'd have been that close if he was as irredeemably wicked as many today like to assume he was?"
Sirius was somewhat stunned by Draco's words, which seemed to have merit to them 'definitely an interesting kid' he thought before speaking "So what are you going to do?"
"I would like for you to find the loccation of the Gaunt families house, but do not go there." Draco ordered Sirius "There is a trap there that can snare anyone that has witnessed death in the past. This curse was powrful enough to cost Albus Dumblefore one of his hands. Since I've never witnessed death, I am uniquely able to ignore the curses effects, but you are not. Voldemort couldn't account for someone like me going there, but the trap is devastating for people with more experiences."
'That grimiore of his sure is convenient' Sirius thought to himself "And the other Horcruxes?"
"The diadem we can't deal with until I get to Hogwarts, for the Hufflepuff's cup I'll need to go through the Ministry and get declared the manager of the Lestrange Families holdings, so that will take a while, the Gaunt ring we already discussed, and as far as the Diary goes, I have that one easily in reach and can destroy it any time I want, so mostly we just have to worry about the the ring for now, and try to prepare for a future when Voldemort may rise again. Might be wise to get in touch with Moony as well."
"I...I trust you, Draco...I'll wait until we can get to Hogwarts and see what we can find in that Chamber of Secrets place" Holly offered to Draco, clenching her hands into fists while gathering up all of her resolve..
Draco smiled at Holly and hugged her tightly, causing her to blush a bit, but not resist. After a few moments of surprise, she even reciprocated the hug.

Once Draco and Holly had left, Sirius took some time to seriously consider Draco's words. He seemed way more mature then his age would suggest, but then Sirius had never heard of any grimoire quite like the one Draco had described. The one thing he was sure about, was that little Holly seemed to have a crush on the boy.
"James probably wouldn't be thrilled about that." Sirius spoke his thoughts out loud as a haggard-looking man entered the Black Library "Oh, welcome Remus."
Remus Lupin nodded "Good morning Sirius." the two friends greeted each other with a hug "What were you saying about James?" Lupin asked with curiosity as they party from the hug.
"Holly came to visit me. She seems to have a crush on Draco Malfoy." Sirius admitted to Remus "He's an unusual kid."
"Considering that he proved your innocense and got you released, isn't it obvious that he is not simple?" Remus pointed out to Sirius.
"True, but just how far he is from simple is surprising." Sirius insisted "He mentioned to me that he wanted me to help him recruit 'Moony'"
Remus Lupin's eyes grew in shock "How could he know that nickname?"
"I have an idea about that, but I promised not to tell others about it, so it will be up to you to figure that out or him to tell you." Sirius explained to Remus "But in the near future, the Order of the Pheonix will be needed again. That is now obvious."
"What can you tell me?" Remus asked with concern.
"Apparently Voldemort created 6 Horcruxes" Sirius told Remus "He wants us to help him find the location of the one he hasn't already pinpointed."
"SIX! The lunatic!" Remus said with disgust and outrage. It seemed disgusting to even have one, but to instead make six was on a whole different level of depravity.
Sirius nodded in agreement "He believes that the Gaunt family ring is one of them and well find it near the Gaunt family home, but doesn't know where that house is. He asked us to find its location, but NOT try to actually go there. He wants to handle it himself."
"Sirius, he may be Lucius Malfoy's son, but he's still just a child. We can't let him take that risk." Lupin insisted.
"I'm afraid we have to trust him. He says he'll be fine, and we can trust his information, even if I cannot say what it is. It is legitimate." Sirius reassured Lupin "Also, he has already destroyed one Horcrux just a bit ago and has acquired two more that he can destroy easily, apparently, as well as knowing where the last two are hidden. One in the Lestrange Vault at Gringotts and the other somewhere in Hogwarts. He did not say where, but he mentioned the Chamber of Secrets. Apparently he has to keep one of the two Horcruxes he has found in tact in order to access that. I can infer that the Horcrux may be hidden there. He denied it, but where else in Hogwarts could it be?"

A new skill has been refined from Nemian Lion Whisker and has been added to your grimoire:
Nemian Lion's Roar - Rank S
After use, the user's body becomes Impervious to harm from all sources for 1 minute. This ability has a 1 hour cooldown period after use before it can be used again. The cooldwn increases by 1 hour after each use.
------
Draco was laying in bed at home, when suddenly he got a system notification. He was pleasantly surprised when he read the abilities description. It was incredible for only having a 1 hour cooldown, though by the looks of it, the more he used it the longer the cooldown would become, so he decided not to use it rashly, so that he'd have it when he truly needed it.
Manifesting his grimoire, Draco looked at the new skill, and then found that on four more pages additional skills were just starting to fill in, though he couldn't make out what they were yet. Just like the Nemian Lion Whisker, which was a core material for his soul-bound wand, he guessed that these other abilities would be the same.
Draco smirked, looking forward to seeing what would appear.
