In the Years After p.4

Harry's view:

"Lucius!"

I called out his name, as if subconciously thinking that if he was identified, he would just fade away into nothing. But, subconcious thinking or not, he remained standing, sneering malicously as ever. Shoppers fled to the safety of the shops.

"Hello, Potter. Ready to meet your parents?" Lucius smirked.

The jibe about my parents stirred me to action. I cast the first spell. It was the first spell that popped into my head. "Tickleious!" I cried. Lucius suddenly started laughing and dancing around.

"::giggle: : A ::guffaw:: tickling spell, ::heehee:: Potter? ::snicker:: Is that ::chortle:: the best ::giggle:: you ::snort:: can do?" Lucius sneered in between laughs. He cast the countercharm and stopped laughing. He suddenly cast his first spell. "Fatalius!"

An extremely powerful curse, fatalius causes a giant blue ball of fire that causes everything living thing it touches to die to appear. The caster can throw it anywhere they would like, but the ball quits after one impact.

Lucius threw it at me, but I dodged to the side just in time. The ball slammed into the ice cream shop behind them. I saw the plant placed next to the door disintegrate.

Preferring not to think on what would have happened to me if I had been hit, I cast the next spell. I used fairly simple spells that kept Lucius distracted, waiting for my chance. Lucius was stupid, casting fatal spell after fatal spell, wasting his strength. Finally, exhausted, Lucius gave up.

"I'll get you next time, Potter!" he yelled as he used his last strength to apparate.

Balancing my need to see if Hermione was alright against the need to chase Lucius, I picked Hermione. Spotting her in a corner, looking as if she had been desperate to help, but didn't know how, I ran over.

"Are you all right?" we both asked as I can close. We started to laugh and kept laughing for a while. Then we sobered up, thinking of Lucius.

Author's Note: I should end this in one or two more parts! btw- I need comments on my technique. I want to improve it, but don't know how. Help!
