A/N: Wazzup, raikablitz in the house! This is my first Harry Potter fic. Though it does tie with the Harry Potter series, it doesn't feature Harry Potter as the main character. This story will take place two years after the events of the Half-Blood Prince and it doesn't have anything to do with JK Rowling's Deathly Hallows.
I DO NOT own Harry Potter or any related material. It all belongs to the wise and witty JK Rowling. I ONLY own the plot.
Now read my story.
Soul Hunter
Prologue
'You'll never take me!' cried Jason Maverick. He had his wand held aloft, pointing at dozens of cloaked Dementors, gliding toward him.
'You failed me, Maverick,' said the cold voice of Lord Voldemort. 'You were such a faithful Death Eater. What made you change your mind to leave me?'
'I made my mistakes.' The Dementors' despair-consuming power was beginning to effect on Maverick. He began to see blurred images of horrific events in his past. Maverick summoned his most happy memory… 'EXPECTO PATRONUM! EXPECTO…PATRO…'
A pair of Dementors clamped their slimy hands on Maverick's neck. 'Consume his soul, he has reached the end of his service as a Death Eater.' he heard Voldemort whisper. The first Dementor lowered its hood, revealing its terrible face. It had no eyes, but it had a mouth large enough to cover Maverick's face. 'Your retirement gift from me, Maverick; the Dementor's Kiss.'
The Dementor enclosed its mouth with Maverick's face… 'No…xeras filisis…' His wand glowed bright gold but it was too late…
The instant sensation of something being pulled painfully from the body overcame Maverick. 'Goodbye, Maverick.' whispered the Dark Lord. Everything went black…
'Maverick…'
Hours later…
'Wake up, mate!'
'Ron, don't slap him!'
'Hermione, there's a horde of Dementors coming our way!'
Dementors… why did it sound so familiar? Dementors… Dementors… of course, Dementors were hooded creatures that feed on despair, forcing its victim to remember their most horrible memories…that's what Dementors are.
'DEMENTORS!' he screamed. The two people who trying to wake him up jumped back in fright. He looked around; he was lying flat on his back.
'Whoa, mate,' said a red-haired boy.
'Ron, help him up,' said the girl beside him.
'No, it's all right,' he said. He barely got up when the boy shouted, 'It's the bloody Dementors!' The boy pointed behind him.
He spun around. About a dozen Dementors closed on them causing the tree-leaves around them to curl up and die. What can be used to combat against Dementors? He struggled to remember…a spell! Yes, and for a spell he needed a wand! He spotted one lying a feet from him. He got sprinted towards it.
The Dementors picked up their speed as he ran to get the wand. A Dementor swooped at him but strangely, very strangely, it's power did not take effect on him. He remembered nothing horrible or miserable. Taking advantage, he seized his wand and pointed it at the Dementor.
But he was lost for words.
What was the spell? Something... he just couldn't remember...
'The Patronus Charm!' screamed the girl. 'Perform the Patronus Charm!' She and the boy were being encountered by the Dementors. By the looks of it, they certainly weren't invulnerable to the Dementors' power.
Yes, of course, the Patronus Charm! But what was the incantation? He once again struggled to remember...why couldn't he remember?!
Then it hit him-- 'EXPACTO PATRONUM!'
An enormous silver hawk erupted from his wand and glided gracefully toward the Dementors. The Dementors scattered around; the hawk had hit them with its sharp, pointy beak and its large wings. The Dementors were fleeing, they were scared of his powerful Patronus. They were gone...for now.
Then, without warning, a horrible song broke out, emitting phrases that did not enlight him.
Ah, so you lost your thoughts,
that were once you sought,
took by a Dementor's face,
luckily you acted without haste,
performing the Xeracian Charm,
that prevented you from certain harm,
but alas it was not complete,
its result wasn't an expected feat,
you were spared with half of your memory,
while the other went lost into misery,
now, on a quest you are, sir,
for you will become the legendary Soul Hunter!
What?' he said, completely nonplussed. 'What--I--who the hell are you?!?'
'Maverick...'
Well, that was it. It was kinda blurred, but more will be revealed in Chapter 2! raikablitz out!
