TheTrueBard here! As promised I have rewritten the terrible Daigon Alley fight scene or part 1 of it at least… Read It! There are major changes, Harry will still lose an arm and be hit by the Attero in part2 though…
CHAPTER 4 WILL REMAIN POSTED UNTIL I WRITE PART 2 OF THIS FIGHT AND POST THE COMPLETED REWRITE THIS IS TO EASE SOME OF THE HATRED I FELT FOR THE CHAPTER AND I SURE SOME OF YOURS AS WELL!
Harry had been eating lunch at the Leaky Cauldron in one of the upstairs rooms with a powerful Notice Me Not style ward and several silencing charms placed over the room when suddenly a chill surged up his spine, it wasn't anything specific just a bad feeling, the kind that gnawed at you, at first Harry dismissed it as nothing just nerve from being out of the Void Ship for the first time but half an hour later the feeling had only gotten worse and over the years Harry had learned to trust his gut feelings. Making a quick decision to take a quick sweep around to make sure everything was ok Harry banished his half eaten lunch with a sharp flick of his wrist and pulled his hood up over his face and readied his wand.
After a softly muttered Disillusion spell and silencing spell Harry gently dropped the protective wards that he had placed around the room and slipped out of the room and into the hallway. Straight away he realized something was wrong, the Leaky Cauldron was completely deserted; not a single person remained, not even Tom himself. Half-full drinks and still warm meals still sat on the tables, well the ones that hadn't been tipped over that is.
Giving his Disillusion spell and silencing spells a quick once over Harry strode out of the Leaky Cauldron and nearly swore out loud, Daigon Alley was in chaos.
The Alley was burning, the cries of the wounded screaming in pain assaulted Harry's ears as he ran towards the bright flashes of light two streets over not caring that his rapid movements where compromising his Disillutioning spell.
Slowing down just short of one hundred meters away from the random flashes of light and spellfire Harry crouched down next to some rubble from a nearby building and took a quick head count.
Standing about a hundred feet in front of him was a group of ten Death Eaters randomly grouped together making there way further into Daigon Alley firing spells randomly into buildings. Most likely the rear guard, picking off any survivor's that the first wave missed. Luckily for Harry he couldn't make out any white skull mask's meaning that they weren't Inner Circle. "Probably new recruits considering there sloppy tactics" Harry thought to himself. Taking a deep breath to centre himself like his teachers had taught him and allowing his magic to infuse his body so he could push it beyond its normal limits Harry conjured a basic katana, silently cursing himself for his stupidly for not brining the Ancient Ones sword with him. None of the rear guard heard or saw Harry as he walked up behind the Death Eater nearest to him thanks to the spells he had cast on himself earlier.
Harry slipped in behind the Death Eaters sloppy protective line and prepared to assault the unsuspecting Death Eaters as they continued to push forward into the Alley. Harry quickly pointed his wand forward his next target before plunging his conjured sword into the unsuspecting Death Eater in front of him. His stroke was perfect, the blade sank deeply into the Death Eaters back, through his rib cage and into his heart; he was dead before he knew what had even happened to him. At the same time as he struck with his sword Harry fired off two high powered Reducto curses in quick secession, killing two more of the Death Eaters as the spells tore through there unsuspecting skulls, splattering blood and brains over the Alley. Moving quickly Harry released his conjured sword while channelling his magic into his hand before swishing his arm in a wide arc unleashing the pent up magic in the form of a powerful cutting curse catching another three Death Eaters in the chest. In less then fifteen seconds Harry had killed six of the Rear Guard.
Unfortunately the amount of magic Harry had used in quick secession had caused his Disillusioning spell to drop and the sound of the first three Death Eaters body hitting the ground alerted the remaining four to Harry's presence.
The surviving four quickly cast shielding spells to protect themselves from Harry's follow up attack.
Harry swore under his breath as he watched his second salvo of spells splash harmlessly into his enemy's various shields, although he did notice the Death Eater on the right's shield spell had fluctuated badly when his Exploding Spleen hex hit his shield. Weak at shielding charms, Harry thought with a savage smirk as he summoned his conjured sword from fallen Death Eater's body where it still stood proudly.
Now that they were facing him, he would have to be carful; not taking his eyes off of the four Death Eaters in front of him Harry silently cast the Fortis Murus over himself.
"I think my robe would look smashing dyed in your blood, what do you think?" Harry asked taking a steady breath; body magic excused him quickly since his body wasn't use to having such high amount of magic coursing through it.
While Harry took the Death Eaters few seconds of stunned silence to catch his breath he poured some magic into his sword and wand making the tip of his wand glow brightly. The Valeyards lessons where at the forefront of his mind. He could almost hear the Valeyard as if he was right next to him speaking to him; "Intimidation and fear are powerful weapons when used wisely, used correctly they can cause your enemy's to make mistakes. Use them well."
And judging from the way that the four rookie Death Eaters in front of him where backing away slightly, there wands shaking. The sight of him murdering there comrades so brutally and effortlessly had thrown them off of there game and well and truly intimidated them.
"W-What do you think your doing, M-Mudblood?! Die! Avada Kedavra!" One of the Death Eaters snapped gathering his courage and taking a shaky step forward as he fired the Killing Curse.
Emboldened by there comrades actions the others snapped out of there shock and begin to attack as well.
Harry made a diving roll to the side to avoid the Death Eater's spells and soon as he was on his feet Harry conjured a cluster of large railway spikes before banishing them at frightening speed, all of them at the same target, the Death Eater with the weak shield charm.
The Death Eaters shield blocked the first and second iron spikes; the next three however broke through the shield. The Death Eater died screaming as the large metal spikes slammed into his body impaling him.
Harry, meanwhile, was hastily transfiguring the various pieces of rubble that littered the ground around him into barricades as the final three Rear Guard Death Eaters continued to bombard his hastily created protections with killing curses. It didn't matter how much of a power difference there was between Harry and the three rookie's the Killing Curse was still as deadly from them as it was if Voldemort himself cast it and even though some of the shield charms Harry had been taught could block it at lest once or twice depending on the shield there where three of the buggers and Harry wasn't about to push his luck and hope that his shield help or depleting his core anytime soon especially since he was positive that there where still more Death Eaters around if the sound of fighting in the distance was to be believed.
Thinking quickly Harry grabbed a nearby piece of debris off of the ground and set to work transfiguring it all the while his once thick granite wall was being punished by a slew of Unforgivables and other spells.
"I hope this works." Harry thought as he waved his wand over himself.
The Death Eaters were surprised when there prey, the strange wizard in black suddenly lunged from behind his ever weakening wall of stone and fired a point blank Blasting spell at his nearest attacker, they were so surprised by his sudden attack that the Blasting spell even managed to kill it's target before he could retaliate, but that didn't stop the other remaining two from retaliating.
They watched with sadistic pleasure as there sickly green cursed impacted the strange wizard's torso. They watched as he slumped to the ground, dead. After all, the Killing Curse had never failed; well there was that one time…
"Check him." The Death Eater said his voice tired as he motioned towards the strange wizard's body with his wand.
"He took an Avada Kedavrato the face, he's dead." The other Death Eater said sounding smug. "Hell, I don't think this guys going to pull a Potter on us anytime soon." The Death Eater said with a laugh as he kicked the corpse watching it roll onto its back.
"I guess you acckkk." What ever the Death Eater was going to say died with him as his head fell from his body.
"Guess I did pull a Potter." Harry said with a grin as he shimmered into existence behind the decapitated Death Eater.
The last Death Eater never got to defend himself as the 'corpse' on the ground suddenly sat up and ran its arm through his body. "H-how?" The dying Death Eater asked as he spat up a mouthful of blood.
"I transfigured a body double when I was behind the wall. Reducto." Harry didn't even spare the Death Eater a second glance as he summoned all their wands to him before burning them to ash with a flick of his wand.
With the rear guard taken care of Harry set off into the town running. He could still see some spellfire in the distance, so he knew that this battle wasn't over just yet.
So what did you think of it so far? Any inconsistencies? If so let me know so I can fix them! Part 2 coming soon… Read Review and remember Harry is only at Top Aurors level in this chapter and knows no elemental magic yet apart from 'normal' wizard spells! Harry didn't help anybody because he didn't come across anybody and wanted to stop the DE's the screams he heard where elsewhere (CRUCIO! among other things...) :) and he would have only seen bodies as he went for the Rear Guard. Daigon Alley is not burning to the ground or anything drastic like that it however is damaged.
All spells used in this chapter where all canon or descriptions of them can be found in my spell guide! :)
Disillusion spell: In my world any rapid movement can compromise the Disillusion spell, not just making it drop. Think Predator under cloak! However using a lot of magic or powerful magic will make it drop!

Hello faithful readers and curious newcomers alike!
Just posting this little note to say that ROK is NOT abandoned, however it along with my other projects will most likely not be updated until next year...
The reason for this is that I have a few real life problems that I need to handle.
Sorry once again, please no flames unless I've somehow really angered you.
TheTrueBard Out!
(P.S. my other story Last Scion of the House of Mortis will be rewitten sometime in the future. Honestly the way it stands now just makes me cringe.)
