AN: I would like to explain something after reading a review this morning. One person has complained that my story isn't actually Harry's life but a 'magical UFC'. This story is going to be about Harry's life and tournaments are a part of it. Granted most tournaments in the rest of the story will be much shorter or just have the important bits told in flashback but I wanted to have one full tournament. Some people enjoy waxing poetic about the Quiditch Matches, I enjoy tournaments.
Second, when they complained about Padma beating Hestia who was far older mentally and had experience through war. Do I have to point out that Harry's D.A. and even freaking Ron were taking out Death Eaters with more experience? It's already been established that Hestia favors shields and healing spells over combat and that during the war she and Flora were in hiding. Also, as I once again said, Padma had gotten in a lucky hit. Please think about what you put in your reviews before posting them. I don't mind constructive criticism if it's actually constructive, I don't appreciate flames or people griping about points that were already explained as if I left a plot hole.
Death Reborn
Chapter 12
-Harry-
"Looks like it's time for the semis," he said with a smile at his wives and sister, ignoring the fearful looks some of the other contestants were giving him, before sighing "which means we'll have to start fighting each other soon.".
"For the first match of the Semi-Finals!" Dumbledore called out through the mirror "We have Rose Potter fighting against Hestia Thanatos-Potter!".
Sighing he pulled Hestia into a kiss and then gave Rose a tight hug, "Both of you just do your best out there, okay?" he asked them as they nodded and hugged him back.
"We will Harry," Hestia assured him as she pecked his cheek "don't worry.".
"I always worry," he said with a smirk "I'm both a husband and a big brother. I'm either having to get whiplash from trying to keep an eye on you and your sister or I'm having to pull my hair out by babysitting Rose.".
"Hey!" Rose exclaimed with a pout as he laughed and ruffled her hair before shooing the two out for their fight. For once Blaise didn't ask him who he expected to win and he as grateful as he honestly didn't know who to root for as two of the three most important people in his life were about to fight to move on in the tournament.
"This will be a weapon only fight!" Flitwick declared "Begin!". He watched with the intensity of a hawk as his wife and sister charged one another, weapons drawn, one trying to keep a modicum of distance and the other trying to close it completely. It was like an intricate dance as they moved around one another's strikes, leaping and twirling through the arena to avoid being hit while attempting to land a blow of their own. Every strike Hestia would have made with her mace was absorbed by the shaft of Rose's scythe and slash said Scythe would have made was stopped by Hestia's shield. Eventually though Rose's boundless energy seemed to give her an advantage as the previous fights started taking their toll on Hestia who had grown slower at a faster rate than Rose until the match ended with Rose's scythe at Hestia's neck.
"You girls did good." He said when they returned to the waiting room, Flora joining in on the hug to console her sister.
"I'm just glad that if I had to lose to anyone it was Rose instead of an idiot like Malfoy or Weasley." Hestia said with a weak grin "At least this way I was beaten fairly by one of the best.".
"Next match!" Dumbledore's voice interrupted them, "Flora Thanatos-Potter against Lilith Moon!".
"Good luck and aim true my love." He said to Flora as he gave her their now traditional pre-match kiss.
"I will," Flora said with a smile as she kissed him back before turning to Rose "be ready to fight me in the finals Rose." Before she spun around and walked out to the arena.
"This will be a full force fight!" Flitwick declared "Begin!". Like in all the previous fights Lilith tried to dance around the spells and blows sent her way in an attempt to tire out Flora but it was significantly harder this time as Flora new her game and was lashing out with her whip at the same time she was casting spells. As the fight progressed and he saw Lilith become more and more tired he saw a familiar smirk on Flora's face that screamed of mischief before his wife lashed her whip at the ground between Lilith's legs. From that impact he could tell a burst of air shot out as Lilith's legs were ripped out from underneath her as the girl was knocked into the air before her flying body was caught with a body bind curse from Flora's wand.
"Nice innovation," he congratulated when Flora returned "let's hope I can compare in my fight.".
"I'm sure you'll do brilliantly Harry," Flora assured him as she gave him a good luck kiss for his upcoming fight, "we all believe in you.".
"She's right Harry," Hestia said with a smile as she stole a kiss of her own before smirking mischievously "just don't lose or you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.".
"Well we can't have that now can we?" he asked with a laugh as his fight with Susan Bones was announced "I don't have any other choice left but to win now.".
"This will be a magic only fight!" Flitwick declared when they got out, the half-goblin looked a great deal appeased at the fact that he wasn't glaring at Susan like he had Malfoy "Begin!".
Grinning he slammed his hands into the ground, pumping out his ice control as much as he could as he turned the dirt floor arena into an ice rink with a grin, "Always wanted to try this." He muttered to himself before shooting across the arena, using blasts of fire control to make sharp turns as Susan tried desperately to hit him while staying on her feet.
"Just hold still already!" Susan yelled at him as another of her spells shot away from him as she slipped on his ice floor, "This is a fight, not ballet practice!".
"I feel that holding still would be a rather poor idea for my health." He answered back with a smirk "But if you wanted me to fight back by all means you should have said so." Before he began to use his fast and sharp movements across the icy terrain to pepper Susan with spells.
"Not what I meant!" a panicking Susan Bones exclaimed as he smirked.
"I know," he answered "but my way is more fun…for me at least." Before shooting behind her and blasting her off her feet with a stunner as he shot across the ice one final time to catch her before she could hit the ground.
"Lord Thanatos-Potter," Flitwick asked hesitantly "could you please return the arena to its proper form?".
"No problem sir," he assured the man as he stomped his foot and channeled lightning through it to shatter and melt the ice "there you go. Oh, and Enervate." He finished as he woke up Susan Bones, setting her down and not noticing her flushed face.
"You might as well stay out here Lord Thanatos-Potter," Flitwick explained "the final fight is going to be a three way free for all.".
"Understood sir," he said with a nod before turning to his still flushed opponent "good fight Susan." He said with a nod as she let out an 'eep' and ran back to the waiting room. "Was it something I said?" he asked his future Charms Professor in confusion as the man sighed in exasperation but ignored the question.
"This final fight will be a full force free for all!" Flitwick declared once Flora and Rose had gotten to the arena "Begin!".
The moment it began he had to leap back to avoid the combined curses of both his wife an Sister, "So," he asked with a grin as he drew his sword "ganging up on little old me are we?".
"Just taking out the biggest threat first big brother," Rose said with a smile on her face as she fired off a reducto at him "so I have a temporary alliance with Flora.". Grinning he blasted upwards and sent a barrage of spells as well before landing and using his sword to deflect a strike from Flora's whip.
"If that's the way you girls are going to play it then maybe I should bring out the big guns." He answered with a grin as he decided to show off a bit and turn into his dragon form again.
"Oh bugger." The girls groaned out in unison as he roared loudly to the heavens. Sending them a draconic grin he spun around and tried to hit them with his tail only for both girls to use his blast off trick to shoot into the air above it. Roaring in excitement he shot his head out to slam it into them as they each twisted out of the way of the brunt of the blow before grabbing onto some of his bone spikes for dear life as he tried to shake them off.
Getting an idea he flapped his wings to rise into the air before he flipped upside down and reversed his transformation as the girls suddenly lost the spikes they had been gripping and dropped to the ground, Flora using her wind control to slow their fall as he began firing stunners at them when they were close to the ground.
Grinning he saw that he had managed to catch Rose with one of the stunners as she went limp before he charged at Flora, dodging her blasts of wind and strikes of her whip as he got closer and closer before he was pressed up against her, holding her to him with a hand at her back as he smirked and stole a quick kiss before hitting her with a stunner. "I know I'm going to pay for that one later," he chuckled to himself as he set about waking both girls "but boy was it worth it.".
AN: I just want to point out that just because I have a girl fall for Harry doesn't mean she will be in the pairing.
