Chapter
Three – The Voldemort Count One/Six
Zohar Gideon Amiri was having a good day. For the first time he'd beaten both the high level dummies at once, and today was the day Voldemort was planning his attack on the ministry. Zo, Ell, and Keith were looking forward to stopping them from taking over. Together, they made a fierce team, and they were going to let the world know it. They hadn't been stopped by thirty-seven death eaters, and this wouldn't stop them either. That's not to say that they were underestimating their enemy, they were just not as worried as they could have been. From Zo's visions, they figured that there would be around fifty death eaters and Voldemort himself at the attack.
There would be plenty of aurors there to help them with the death eaters, so Zo would be focusing on Moldy Shorts himself while Ell and Keith would be doing a two person hit team thing. The aurors would stun the death eaters, the death eaters would enervate their companions, and then Ell and Keith would kill them from behind. They prepared themselves slowly, stretching, going through their daily routines, and then getting all their weapons and their two wands each ready. That was another mistake that the idiots (as they called their ex-friends and family) had made. They had let the three of them get away with two wands each, one of which had no tracking charms on them.
Finally, it was 5:30, and they were ready to leave. They apparated to the ministry, where there was complete pandemonium. The death eaters had the upper hand and they knew it, when suddenly, three of their number dropped dead. While they looked around trying to puzzle out just who it was that was assaulting them, another three dropped dead. And then three more, and three more, until about twenty-four of the death eaters numbers were permanently gone. The aurors took their chance, and the death eaters noticed that the tide had turned. One of them pressed his wand against his left arm, and then the most feared wizard of recent times appeared in the Ministry of Magic.
Zo grinned in a very unnerving way. He was ready to get that bastard, even if he couldn't kill him just yet. His smile would have sent chill against Voldemort's spine, had he seen it, but by the time Zo was out and about, his face was impassive. He marched up to Voldemort and said, "Hey Tommy boy, how's it goin'?"
Voldemorts glare in response would have sent most people running as fast as they could in the other direction. Zo, however, held his ground. "What, you're pleased beyond words to see me?"
"I don't know who you think you are, you insolent little boy, but I am –"
Voldemort was cut off by Zo, who said lazily, "Lord Voldemort, Tom Marvolo Riddle, half blood heir of Slytherin. Is that all? Good. And I, am Zohar Gideon Amiri, member and leader of the Triad. That's it. Want to try your hand at a duel? Don't forget to bow, Tommy boy!"
Zo heard a little bit of laughter that was cut off within seconds, and decided he'd have to talk to Keith about that – it wasn't good to lose your head because of something said in a battle. Zo made a tiny bow that was barely noticeable and the duel was on. Zo was firing curses so fast Voldemort could barely dodge them, but he didn't really have the upper hand, he'd just been underestimated. Finally, Voldemort started giving his all into the battle, sticking mainly to dark curses, his favorite being Crucio, however Zo was not only an expert at dodging, but he, Ell, and Keith had turned out be brilliant at potions. Over the last year they had created a potion that would prove the Cruciatius ineffective for up to a year. They had tested it on each other, each time hating what they were doing.
Zo was pulled out of his thoughts as a killing curse sped his way. He dodged and countered with a few deadly but not so evil curses of his own. Voldie was scared, and that was what Zo had been going for. He grinned unnervingly again. Voldemort was gonna regret the day he messed with the Amiri triplets!
The battle continued for about a half an hour before every death eater that had come was dead and Voldie was grievously injured. Voldie finally just apparated out with a evil grin as he said, "You've just put yourself at the top of my hit list, Amiri!"
Zo just muttered under his breath, "Like I wasn't already…"
A random auror walked up to him and said, "Did I hear correctly? You're a part of the triad?"
Zo eyed him warily and said, "Yes, why?"
"My muggle relatives live nearby to where that first attack was, and you saved them. Thank you!"
Blinking, Zo said, "What? You work for the ministry and you condone killing?"
"Yes. The ministry is full of incompetents and I intend to help fix that problem."
"You rock!"
"Thank you, but it's you who just saved hundreds of lives. You really should go to a healer, we have some here…"
"Thanks for the offer, but the ministry is a bunch of incompetents, like you said, and my brother and sister will help me, as I will help them. We've been on our own for five years, it's not about to change now." A bit of an exaggeration, Zo thought, but it was better than saying, "I'm Harry Potter and your healer would probably realize that."
With that said, and the aurors and other ministry workers safe, Zo, Ell and Keith apparated back to Potter Castle, exhausted but grinning at the exhilaration of their success.
Two/SevenZo cast a few deadly curses in Voldemort's general direction, hoping for a hit but not getting one. He growled under his breath, wishing for the thousandth time that this was the final battle. No such luck, he thought, as he cursed another death eater that was sneaking up from behind. He flung curse after curse in Voldemorts direction, taking down death eaters at the same time, and finally Voldemort gave up. He apparated away.
Three/Eight
Dodging a killing curse from Voldemort, Zo flung a few deadly curses of his own at Voldemort. The battle raged on, the death eaters dropping like flies, and Voldemort tiring quickly. Zo thought, 'there are some serious advantages to working out every morning,' as he dodged yet another killing curse. Voldemort had long since given up on trying to hurt him with the Cruciatius curse, because he had figured out that it didn't work. So now he went directly in for the kill. Zo smirked, as he through a curse at Voldemort that relocated him to the middle of the Atlantic ocean.
Four/Nine
Zo, Keith and Ell had apparated directly into Voldemort's castle, having been given the address by invitation. They weren't stupid, and they knew it was an ambush, but they were going to have a little fun with Voldie. They made a great team, with Ell and Keith going after the death eaters and Zo finding Voldemort.
Zo walked up behind the throne and tapped Voldemort on the shoulder. He smothered a laugh as Voldemort said, "Who dares to touch me! You will be punished for… Oh, it's you. Well, no bother, I get to kill you instead!"
Smothering a laugh, Zo tossed a few prank curses at Voldemort, leaving him dressed like a ballerina, with a brown frizzy wig that looked just like Ell's old hair, and singing about 'tomorrow.' Voldemort was enraged, and literally chased Zo out of the castle where he met Ell and Keith surrounded by a group of dead death eaters. Zo smothered a laugh as he gave the signal for them to get out of there.
When they got back to Potter Castle, they all fell down laughing. Zo said, "I didn't think I'd ever consider an encounter with Voldemort fun, but that was downright hilarious," he imitated Voldemort, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, the sun will come out tomorrow!"
Five/Ten
Over the last two months, Ell and Keith had gotten to the level that Voldemort would be scared of them. The Voldemort level dummies were basically useless, and Ell and Keith dueled to a draw every time. They needed help, and they had no one to ask for it. With that thought in mind, they realized that without a teacher they couldn't really get any better, and just continued to do their daily routine. However, the day that marked three and a half months since their second meeting with Voldie at the ministry, Zo caught plans of an attack on Hogwarts in his mind.
To say that he was furious would be an immense understatement. He could've killed Voldemort on the spot had he been there, but since he wasn't, he settled for annihilating a few Voldemort level dummies. Whether or not Hogwarts was still his home, it had been at one point, and there were people there that he would've protected with his life at one point. He talked to Ell and Keith about it and they made plans. Voldemort expected this to be the final battle, he wanted Albus Dumbledore dead, and he wanted it done soon. He was bring an army of two hundred death eaters, fifty dementors, a bunch of snakes, and whatever Slytherin students decided to join him.
He would get what he wanted, Zo knew, because they had to face each other ten times before either one of them could die, and this would be the tenth time. Zo had his own snake army, the three phoenixes that had bonded to each of the Amiri siblings, a bunch of animals from the forest, including Centaurs and Hippogriffs, and each other. They weren't sure they could count on the Order of the Phoenix or the students at Hogwarts, so they weren't looking forward to the battle at all. They had sent a letter to the Order, but hadn't gotten a reply back, so they weren't sure what to think. They'd told the owl to wait for a reply, and made it impossible to apply tacking charms to the bird, so they couldn't figure out why there was no response.
///Order Of The Phoenix Meeting, Five Days Previous///
Dumbledore had called the meeting to order, and they were discussing what Snape had seen at the last death eater meeting, when a brown eagle owl flew through the window. It dropped what looked to be a howler in the middle of the table and flew off to sit by Fawkes.
Hello
Order Of The Fried Chicken! And no, that's not an insult to
phoenixes, it's an insult to you. We, the Triad, you've probably
heard of us, just wanted to inform you that Voldieshorts is planning
an attack on Hogwarts in about a week. So it is our opinion that you
should probably put the order on high alert and call in a few favors
at the ministry if you want your school to stay standing. We will be
there to help defend it, as we believe that no innocents should die
for a war that should never involve them in any way. It might be in
the interest of a few of your students to know that if they decide to
help the DE's in an attack on the school, they will regret it …
if we let them live. Even children should not be allowed to attack
children. It's not right. We also think that you people
need to take the war to Voldemort – not let him bring it to you.
And you'd do well to remember, this war is not for children, this
war is for adults, but if you insist on bringing them into it, for
gods sake, train them! Don't worry, you're not the only ones
being insulted – we send Moldy Shorts a howler to, though his
didn't exactly offer tips for improvement… Anyway, that's
totally off of the topic. If you're wondering who we are, we are
the Amiri triplets. Zohar Gideon, Ellen Marcella and Keith Flash
Amiri. You will never know more than that. If you question our
allegiances, look up the meanings of our names. Our last name means
prince, and the first two names mean some variation of Light Warrior.
We are of the light and just because we kill does not mean that will
ever change. Now you've been given fair warning, I suggest
you prepare you school – he
There had been dead silence for a moment before chaos erupted. People wanting to pull their kids out of school, people wanting to know what would be done, people wanting to know Dumbledore's opinion of these Amiri triplets, and that was before they realized that the letter had been hexed to give them all pink hair.
///end of order meeting///
Finally on the sixth day, they got a response in the form of a letter.
To the Amiri triplets:
I do not know how you got your information, but it will be
taken into accounts. We thank you for the tip, and hope to see you
there helping us defend the school. I had never heard of any of you
before, which surprises me, but I looked you up in the ministry and
you're all there, and you're all clear. So … see you tomorrow
at the battle of Hogwarts.
Albus Dumbledore & The Order Of The Phoenix
Zo grinned. "I'm going to kill him. I finally get to kill him! YES! This is going to be over, and we're going to be free, and then we're going to tell the idiots that they can screw off because they lost us when they betrayed us… Do you guys really think that we should do that? I know what they did, but the chances they'd do it again are slim to none. People do generally learn from their mistakes… 'cept for maybe Sirius and Remus, the idiots."
Ell looked depressed. "My parents… I don't even know how they reacted. But I'm not giving up on them until they say that they don't believe I'm innocent."
Keith looked angry and depressed as he said, "Come on! They betrayed us! What makes you think they won't do it again? What makes it so clear that they won't just turn us in?"
"We aren't going to talk to them until we're cleared, at least, not as Ron, Hermione and Harry. We're Zo, Ell and Keith until we're cleared and possibly after that. I just think we should give them a chance. Do we really want to live like this forever? Just the three of us and the animals around here? It'll get lonely, hell, it has gotten lonely. Whether we want to admit it or not, we need other people. It doesn't have to be them… but it can be. We just need to decide."
\\\Battle of Hogwarts///
It was a dark and dreary day at Slytherin Manor, and Voldemort was gathering his troops, preparing for the final battle. He was excited. He knew what the prophecy said, and therefore, he knew that he'd win, as Harry Potter was on the run. Oh, how wrong he was.
It was a bright and sunny day at Potter Castle, and Zo, Ell and Keith were preparing for the final battle. Zo was getting nervous, he knew he'd come out of his other battles with Voldie just fine, but that didn't mean anything for this time. He knew it would be dangerous, but the fate of his world was in his hands, and he was determined to save it.
At around the same time, four figures apparated directly into Hogwarts' grounds. One of them walked to the gates and opened them, leading a large crowd of animals and around 300 masked people into the grounds. The other three were followed by an army of creatures, all of whom were willing to fight for the light. There were snakes, hippogriffs, centaurs, acromantulas, and even a few giants. They walked over to the Order, who had no creatures and about 250 people, not including students because they were inside the castle. Zo snorted. "This is the great army of the light? What have you people been doing?" No one bothered answering him, they were all too nervous.
Zo, Ell, and Keith walked straight to Albus Dumbledore and smiled. Zo said, "Pleasure to meet you. You ready to kick some death eater ass? Or… just stun them?" Behind Albus a man they knew as Mad-Eye Moody laughed in a rather undignified manner at that 'joke.' Standing beside Moody were two people that Zo had been wanting to see and dreading seeing at the same time. Sirius and Remus. Padfoot and Moony. Zo's breath caught. He ignored it and continued on. "Well, Voldemort isn't here for tea, I suggest we get them before they get us." And the battle was on.
Ell and Keith were once again making a great team for taking out DE's, they were dropping like flies. Zo took a few deep breaths, blasted a few death eaters to get warmed up, and calmly walked towards Voldemort. "Ah, Tommy boy, what's in been since I saw you last? Two months? Well, let's make this be the last visit, shall we?"
"You can't kill me, only Harry Potter can, and he's on the run, despite the fact that I have my death eaters impersonating them here today."
"Just because he has the power to defeat you, doesn't mean he's the only one. You're goin' down, Tommy Boy! Let the games begin!"
Zo blocked out what his so-called brother and sister were doing, ignored the Order and the DE's, and got into his battle with Voldemort for the tenth and last time.
After about two hours of fighting, most of the death eaters were down, the dark sides animals all taken care of. The light side had a huge advantage with the Amiri triplets. Zo finally had Voldemort cornered and he knew that this was the end. "I'm not normally one to waste my time talking, but I want to say goodbye, 'cause you ain't comin' back this time." Zo pulled out his wand and placed a binding spell on Tom's powers before saying, "Bed time, Tommy boy!" He summoned Gryffindor's sword with a thought and placed it directly through Voldemorts (for lack of a better word.) heart. The blood that spurted out was not read, it was pure black.
As Voldemort lay there dying, Zo put up a shield so that people's vision of him was blurred, morphed into Harry Potter, and said, "You ruined every aspect of my life, and now I'm ending yours. The heir of Gryffindor kills the last heir of Slytherin. May you spend the rest of eternity in hell for the things you've done to this world." He then morphed back into Zo Amiri and took down the shield, before walking out onto the battlefield, calm as can be. He strengthened the anti apparation wards and started taking masks off of death eaters. Quite a few masks that were taken off were met with gasps and exclamations of how it wasn't possible.
Finally, there were only three left, and Zo knew just who they were, and he grinned. Voldie had let slip that it was Bellatrix Lestrange, her husband and Peter Pettigrew that were impersonating them, and Zo was very much looking forward to exposing them. He waved his hand and the masks all fell off, the crowd cheered that they had finally caught the terrible trio. Zo wanted to scream at the idiots telling them it wasn't them, but decide to show them instead. "Finite Polyjuice Spell." He said loud and clear, leaving the crowd to wonder what the hell was going on until they morphed back into the assholes they were.
"I suggest that next time you want to convict people of murder, you find out if it's really them that did it in the first place. As you can see, these people are not who you thought they were. Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter were innocent, and you condemned them without a thought. If you'd bothered with veritaserum, or even a fair trial, you'd have see that they were innocent. I can only hope they'll find it in their hearts to not decide to live alone for the rest of their lives because of your betrayals. Voldemort is dead, and so are quite a few of his death eaters. I have faced that monster ten times, and I want it made clear that I don't do it for you people, I do it for the world, the people who still have a chance at becoming decent human beings. I have a suggestion. Will my brother and sister come up here, please?
"This is my brother, Keith Flash Amiri, or Ronald Bilius Weasley, depending on how you look at it. This is my sister, Ellen Marcella Amiri, or Hermione Jane Granger, depending how you look at it. I am Zohar Gideon Amiri, or Harry James Potter, depending how you look at it. After seeing what we can do, Dumbledore, I suggest you put that wand down and give us a trial, don't you think that'd be a good idea?"
Dumbledore nodded, with regret in his eyes, but it was clear that it had no affect whatsoever of the three people who had just declared themselves innocent.
