Yes, yes, I know. It has been way too long since my last update but I can promise that this won't happen again without warning.
Now that that's over and done with enjoy. I wonder what you'll think of the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
WAIT, I almost forgot. I added some Hhr fluff to this chapter. It's not much but it is there. I think this is a good time to officially anounce that this will be a Hhr story. (if you haven't already guessed it)
That's it, enjoy.
The person before him, sitting on a dragon completely and totally constructed of earth was…
"Hello, what brings you to these parts, Jack" Xave asked.
"Oh, you know, the usual I'm just here to kill you," the boy, Jack, said.
"Bring it."
Chap 9
Xave calmed his mind. He knew that there would be no playing around or letting emotions rule him. If he did he would lose for sure, not that he had much chance now.
Jack had been training his Elemental powers from a younger age than any of the group meaning he was stronger and had much better control over his element thus the dragons.
Xave smirked and released an inferno from his hands. Using the flames as cover he moved sideways seeing him block the attack easily with a wall of rock. He sent a blast of fire to the ground sending him high in the air. Jack realized he was gone and saw the meteors of flame coming from the sky as if it was raining fire.
Jack just used the dragon to block the small fireballs. When a big one came towards him the dragon blocked it again but Xave was in it so he landed on the dragon.
Quickly melting the rock beast they both dropped to the ground staying alive using their elements to break the fall.
Landing on the ground, Xave decided to stall and catch his breath, "Why are you really here?"
"Look around. You're all alone." Jack replied coldly. Xave smirked sending power through the medallion when he felt a block. Looking at Jack again he noticed a smirk on the other boys face, "Nice try."
So he was alone to fight this guy after all.
"Oh," Xave started but couldn't finish as he had to dodge some newly formed dragons.
The thing was he was not as alone as he thought, a large portion of the school were watching him and Jack tangle it out.
The big glaring problem that would most likely bite Xave in the butt was that Dumbles was also in the mass of students watching him and Jack go all out with their Elemental abilities, something he had wanted to keep a secret from the old geezer if no one else.
Though the students numbers grew and more teachers came, Xave remained ignorant to the fact that he had a crowd of onlookers. If he had known then he would of surely wondered why no one was helping him and why old Dumbles was muttering words under his breath.
This stinks, Harry thought walking up to the Gryffindor Common Room, Ron acting stupid again and Hermione let his words get to her.
Sighing Harry led his bushy haired friend up to the portrait of The Fat Lady. Saying the password he walked in and was grateful that no one else was there.
He figured they were all still at dinner but if he wasn't so worried about Hermione he might of found it slightly odd that everyone was gone. Alas he was much to worried about his best friend. He noticed Hermione walking ahead towards the couch by the fireplace
"Come on, Hermione, Ron's just being a prat don't listen to him," Harry said with a weak smile.
No response.
"Hermione," he said slowly, putting his hand on her shoulder, "You okay?" Hermione stopped and turned to face Harry. He saw tears coming out of her eyes and he felt various emotions at once. Sadness, anger, … and something else.
Hermione started to turn and run so Harry grabbed her hand. "Hermione, please, come on don't," but he never finished his sentenced because just then an earthquake hit and made Hermione lose her footing. That, coupled with her attempt to not step on Crookshanls who had just ran past, caused her to fall on to the couch, effectively bringing Harry with her.
Harry suddenly realized how close he was to Hermione and his chest was pressing into her…
No don't think about that.
Suddenly he felt himself move closer and closer. His mind was so jumbled and was screaming so many different things that he, at first, didn't realize what was happening. The thing he did understand was that Hermione's face was getting closer.
All of a sudden another tremor hit and he fell off of Hermione. Harry and Hermione's faces were a red that could put the Weasley hair to shame any day.
Shaking his head Harry slowly stood and looked around, finally realizing how odd it is that they are the only people in the Common Room.
Suddenly his eyes grew wide as he thought what had caused that quake. "Hermione, we have to hurry I think the schools under attack," Harry said, shifting into battle mode.
As they rushed down the stairs wands out they were unnerved by the eerie silence. They were sprinting down the stairs when a window broke and in flew none other than Xave.
To be honest he looked horrible. He had a shard of earth through his shoulder and multiple cuts and scars.
As he landed the floor he was standing on lifted over the balcony and fell before he could move. Harry and Hermione watched stunned as he fell. Harry felt Hermione bury her face into her chest.
Harry looked down. Xave may have been a Slytherin and captured Hermione but he didn't hurt her and no one deserved that fate. Except Voldemort.
Harry put his head down only to lift it back up as he saw a red streak fly out of the window followed by what sounded like an explosion as a different boy fell through the window.
He looked darker, evil. Harry could almost see power pouring off of him and what really shocked him was staring down this guy's strength with a smirk.
"Seems like you've gotten a bit rusty," Xave taunted.
At hearing Xave's voice Hermione looked up, "Your alive, but I-you…"
Sadly this also alerted that person to their presence. He smiled cruelly as the ground outside shifted and formed a dragon behind Xave.
Its tail zoomed for him and he merely dodged it, realizing too late that its true target was not him at all.
Seeing the tail aiming for him and Hermione, Harry pushed Hermione behind him. He took out his wand and yelled, "PROTEGO," hoping it was enough to stop the tail. Unfortunately, the tail went right through the shield only slowing slightly.
He closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable pain to come. He looked back on his life, suddenly seeing various memories flitting over him.
3 year old Harry shrinking back as his uncle yelled at him for hurting Dudley even though he knew that it was Dudley's own fault for tripping.
------------------------------
4 year old Harry being introduced to his brand new room or at least what his aunt had told him. He wondered why he was being taken to the cupboard and briefly thought that maybe he was getting a new toy like Dudley.
Upon getting their, she opened the door and he saw his new 'room' was this cupboard.
He was roughly shoved in before it was locked as he began to cry.
------------------------------
1 year old Harry seeing a flash of green light and feeling a sharp pain in his forehead.
------------------------------
9 year old Harry being roughly shoved into his cupboard as a man came.
"Hello, my name is Bob Sanjin and I'm here because you have just won a flat screen TV," the man had said.
Vernon looked skeptical but perked up greatly when he saw the box. He just couldn't resist asking, "How did we win I didn't sign up for this."
"A mister Harry Potter sent the form in," Sanjin said.
The effect was instant, "GET OUT! GET OUT! THERE IS NO HARRY POTTER HERE!"
He had gotten a very bad beating after that.
--------------------------------
Harry hadn't remembered that last one and on top of that, why hadn't he felt any pain yet?
Opening his eyes he saw the earth dragon's tail an inch away from his heart.
Well, there you have it. Why did the dragon's tail stop before capturing/killing our hero? Will Ron stop being a prat? Will Harry and Hermione EVER get together? How does Sanjin fit into this? Find out next time on: StarRizer's Flame.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed: Harrysmate, RLD Flame-point Callie-co, digidude577, murdrax, Paladin13, and hpnut1.
I think you'll be glad to know that after either this or the next chapter the plot will start moving along. Hope you liked the battle.
Until next time this is ShadowLight signing off.
