Chapter 21

The year continued as normal, till Halloween when the news paper came. Hermione who had been ordering it untied it from the owl and paid before staring at the headline in a little shock. "Harry, look at this," Hermione said catching the attention of Ron, Luna, Fred, and George as well of course Harry. Everyone looked at her as she showed the paper to Harry who smiled happily before she showed it to everyone else.

Sirius Black Innocent

Hermione then started reading so everyone could hear it at once, "Today was announce that Sirius Black is innocent! The Minister of Magic, who was informed of this by Albus Dumbledore during the summer, was going over old court records checking for anything wrong with them, found several things that did not line up correctly. As such, brought in some help from the Auror department, and went all of the ones that were involved with "He-who-must-not-be-named". It appears among other things that Mr. Black trial had been skipped, as well as a few other trials that had been done incorrectly by the court system.

With this in mind the Auror department set its sights into catching Black if only to actually give him a true trail. It took many weeks but the Auror department was finally able to track down Sirius Black by uses of the Owls that carry mail. He was then was able to be convinced meet at a safe location where he would be asked about his time before, during, and after what had happen to the Potters. Though we do not know what happened during this meeting the end conclusion is still known with Sirius Black a now innocent man. The real criminal, Peter Pettigrew, now has a man hunt out for him though his current where about remain unknown. As for Sirius Black he says he will be spending time recovering from his time in Azkaban and will one day soon hope to meet with his Godson Harry Potter."

With that Hermione finished speaking while most everyone else in the group but Harry had a shocked look on their face. Ron was the first to speak this time, "Well, Harry I never thought that he would be innocent!"

"Nor did many other people," Luna said, "only a few knew the truth and until a little while ago those very few could not speak the truth and expect to be heard."

Ron was a little surprised at this as he always thought Luna was a little loony, but this did not stop him from replying. "And why do you say that who would not listen to those that knew the truth?"

"Because they do not want to know, or would rather not know, or would silence those that would let the masses know," Luna said.

"But…" Ron started speaking again but Harry and Hermione tuned him out for now. It was not that they did not like him anymore but the argument he was having with Luna was one they already knew too well. Hermione sighed and smiled looking around their small group. Fred and George were becoming like older big brothers she never had, and would do in short almost anything to protect her it seemed. Luna was truly one of a kind and seemed like her sister already, though at times Luna could drive her nuts with her weird logic and animals. But still at other times Hermione loved hearing about them. Then there was Ron and Harry.

Harry, she did not know where to begin really. Over the past few years she had become close friends with him, and then when her shape had changed, he had been the only person who knew about it that was her age. This year with the way he, was acting depending on how her feelings work themselves out, he could end up being either a protective brother or a protective boyfriend. She really could not decide thanks to how she had grown up. She was never truly alone but her mom and dad never had any other kids for reasons they never told her, so she ended up wishing for a brother or sister every birthday. And this was affecting her decision about Harry. Until recently she had only ever seen him as her brother or close friend, but now with her body starting to change she was having a harder time figuring out what he going to mean to her.

Ron on the other hand was a close friend, or at least he used to be. It had started when she had been revealed to the school; actually if she was to be honest with herself it was before then. It had started when he had come around less and less to the Hospital Wing to see her, or just coming to get help with homework. And slowly they seem to drift farther apart, since for some reason the change seem to put him off. No she did not think he made that actual decision in his mind, but she was sure that something had happened. As time went on from there from when she had returned to the group she had noticed he seemed more distant, and then with the most recent events he had not been one to help much at all. At least not till the order came out for the Staff to search the school for Harry and herself.

She sighed then smiled as she looked around the group again then back down at the paper. Quickly then she scanned through it before setting it aside for later have not found anything. She smiled noticing there was nothing in it about her or her changes yet, thankfully. This made her happy though she knew her luck was running out and that soon that paper would likely have something in it about her changes soon enough, too many people with power disliked her to leave her alone long. She was about to grab some toast and jam when she noticed someone heading towards the table. She then muttered under her breath, "Think and the devil will appear."

Harry barely caught that before he noticed Draco heading towards them looking rather mad, even more than his new normal. He knew that Draco had been under his dad thumb but something must have happened recently if he was getting this mad, until he remembered the paper. Draco's dad's court case would be under careful review. Meaning Draco would not likely care what anyone said right now unless it was to get his dad out of his case review. Harry sighed hoping he would not lose his temper this time he if Ron was right more power than any one wizard in this school besides Dumbledore, though Harry very much doubted it.

"Well scar face it seems you have yet again done something, to make the Malfoy family mad," Draco said glaring at Harry.

Harry took a few minutes before he spoke to Draco, "And why do you say that Draco? I have not done anything to you for once."

"Don't play that game with me Potter," Draco said with a sneer, "My Father told me it was you who started this whole thing."

"Well your father is wrong, though I was around when Dumbledore noticing the information that started this, I had nothing to actually do with this at all," Harry said hoping that Draco would leave then. Too bad like many things it would not happen.

"Oh really, I doubt that. Since we all know the Minister did this to get on your good side. So there for it is your fault," Draco said still glaring using a slightly twisted sense of logic.

"Really and why is it not your dads own fault," asked Luna, "after all if he was not guilty of the crime, he would not have anything to worry about anyway?"

Draco could not really reply to that one at all since he had no good come backs, and he knew even with his dad at risk of being jailed he was not truly safe to do what he wanted. He was about to turn away when an idea hit him. He knew it would work if he pulled it off right now before his dad's case review was over but he needed to check something first. With that he left the hall a smirk on his face that was not missed by Harry's group as he left.

"Well my dear brother it seems little Draco is up to something," Fred said starting their little spew of words.

"Yes indeed my brother but he it is not likely he is will about it completely," George answered, "there is not much he can do legally with his dad gone right now."

"Indeed my brilliant brother, but what he can do will not be much… unless," Fred stopped as his eyes widen in shock before he looked at George. He spoke again but in a much more hushed tone, "you don't think he would?"

"I am not sure if he were to try that then he could risk being thrown out," George answered in the same tone.

"True but with the correct timing and luck he could make his dear old dad be the one to actually complete it," Fred replied to Georges comment.

"Well then we must put a stop to it then or figure out a way around it," George said with some wonder in his voice.

"Yes I know but who we are in no true place to stop that," Fred replied back.

George was about to speak again when Hermione spoke up her tail twitching in a way that showed she was getting very annoyed. "If you two have had enough, please tell us that don't have your mental link what you two are talking about!"

Fred nodded at this as George spoke, "In short we know what Draco will most likely try, as you most likely have guess. Though if he does do it correctly there is not much anyone can do to stop it."

"What do you mean," asked Harry carefully?

Fred now spoke explain, "because of the fact his dad is having his case reviewed, his lordship over his house and family is also in review. Meaning in short until the trail is over…"

"…the next person in line for the Head of the Malfoy house is running it, but only temporally if you will," George said finishing his brother's statement off. It was a trait the twin had found they sometimes would slip into when nervous.

"So since Draco is the current head of his family he now runs the family and can do things he could normally not do for a few years yet…" Fred said again but stopped as George spoke.

"…. But sadly these things could affect us a lot. He will either declare a Magic Duel with Harry or try and steal Hermione into his family," George finished looking worried.

"Wait how could he bring me into his family and what is the point to that," asked Hermione in wonder and a little fear wishing she had sat next to Harry this morning?

"Well for one he could control your entire life if he wished; of course this would take a lot of work and is possible to stop if done correctly. But still if we are not careful you could very well become nothing more than the next Malfoy pet if he went about it correctly," Fred said a dark look over his face.

"Originally the law he would use to do it was to bring kids with magical into our world who did not have parents but the way the law is written it would allow for kids with parent to have this happen to them to though it would take longer," George then explain how.

"If he thinks he can do that then he has another thing coming," Harry and Hermione both said a growl escaping their lips causing most people around them to move away a little in fear.

"Yes we know and though he may try it that is only one of two things he will most likely try," Fried said.

"What is the other," asked Harry his hair showing some red streaks like before when he had heard about Fudge trying to win himself some favors with getting Black out of prison.

"Well it is the Magic Duel, something that can only be done between Wizarding Family Heads for control of something. With you as the current head to the Potter family and him to the Malfoy family he could issue a duel and you would have to answer him," George said explaining this time.

At Georges words a rock seemed to sink deep into Harry and Hermione stomach. As they realized now what Draco would try. He would challenge Harry to a duel for the right to bring Hermione into their Wizarding family. If Harry were to refuse at all that meant Malfoy would have an almost clean shot at controlling Hermione possible future. It took a few minutes before either one of them spoke. When Harry spoke it was with a deathly chill that scared anyone that was listening in even his own friend. "If he so much as even tries it, he will wish the Dementor or the Basilisk had got him instead of me," Harry said, his hair and eyes now a so black and dark one would have thought there was no light left in the world.

Hermione shivered at how he spoke as Luna hugged her close a little scared herself. Fred and George did not show any fear though they shiver once at the cold feeling Harry seemed to give off, while Ron was backing away from Harry. The rest of the student in the hall that were within a 10 foot range of where Harry say were feeling the cold that seemed to come from Harry, while everyone up to 30 feet from him where barely able to hold back a shiver. Even the teachers sense the sudden change in the mood in the Great Hall from where they sat though only Dumbledore actually had any idea what caused it.

Hermione moved her hand over and put it on Harry's shivering a little as it was a lot colder then it was before, "Harry calm down please if he tries that we will stop him," But this did not seem to work so she tried another idea, "please stop this your scaring everyone including Luna."

Harry nodded as his hair and eyes returned to normal and the coldness passed while his body warmed up again. Hermione smiled holding Luna close to her as Luna snuggled not caring if the cold was gone just wanting to be near her friends, even if one could scare the living daylights out of her. Luna looked over at Harry and wondered what was going on, since she knew that no normal person could give that feeling off. "Sorry about that, it just I am not letting him get away with something like this," Harry said his hair showing those red streaks again.

"I understand and forgive you. Please don't worry to much we won't let him do anything to me at all," Hermione she holding his hand tightly in hers, "Promise Harry." Harry smiled at this as the red disappeared from his hair, though no one noticed this for since most were still wondering where the cold feeling had come from.

After that the meal went along as normal, and soon everyone was off to their classes. Soon that Great Hall was empty expect for Dumbledore and Mr. Lupin who was looking at Dumbledore closely before he also left. Dumbledore sat a few more minutes before he left as well and made his way to Lina room. As he entered it he spoke up quickly, "Lina we must speak at once."

"If it is about what happened during breakfast I already know about it Albus," Lina said appearing in her human form.

"Yes, I must ask what you felt," asked Dumbledore.

"Why would you ask such a thing," Lina asked simply?

"Because I could feel the cold that was coming from Harry, a cold that could be mirror by those of the Dementors kind," Dumbledore said looking at Lina sharply.

"Yes I felt that, the raw cold anger and will to kill and destroy. But also hidden in it the need to protect," Lina said speaking in an even tone. "Do not fear Albus Harry will not become a Dementor."

"How can you be sure," asked Dumbledore in wonder.

"Because the man you spoke of before who became a Dementor has also been in this school," Lina said before pulling out a book from nowhere. "The man in question was actually one of the people that built this school. Salazar Slytherin was the maker of that potion; I found his journal and read about his fight against the potions side affects after taking it. In the end he was not able to beat back and left the school, not long later his friend went after him but could not beat him or his new found powers. But they lucked out when one of them discovered the spell that could beat him back."

"The Patronus charm," Dumbledore said in stun silence.

"Yes a spell that Rowena had come up with to bring light and hope even in the darkest of times. With it they were able to beat him back but not defeat him; he ended up running away after that. From here on I can only guess what happened as I was still young then and he was far beyond the reach of my wards. But what I do know is that when Godric and the other came back, they at once set about finding was to beat him. Godric did not stay long as he knew he owned the very thing needed to beat him. He set to worked on his sword testing and putting some new very powerful enchantments into it. After that he left to face Salazar one last time, and won. But not fully as Salazar had passed on his curse to a few others. From then on I cannot really know what happened in the outside world as the founders stopped speaking of it that event."

"This is all great and all but how does this show Harry will not become a Dementor like Salazar before him," asked Dumbledore shocked at the knowledge that Lina held.

"Because Salazar would kill, or do things to gain power but he did them not out of love for a family or friend. You see Harry only want to keep his family no matter who they may be safe, so if he kill or gain power it is not really for his own gain but someone else's. It helps and does not help that Harry is very young as well, since his emotions are out of sorts thanks to him growing into his magical prime. Meaning outbursts like this will most likely happen during any large emotional releases. But it is also good since he is so young, as it means he can learn to control them easier as they grow with him." Lina said explaining things to Dumbledore that she had found out and figured out.

"So what are you saying I should do then," asked Dumbledore?

"There is nothing much you can do other then make sure that his friends stay safe, because if he loses them he will become something worse than a Dementor," Lina said with a shudder at that idea. As she could feel the current Dementors floating around just outside the wards, and to be honest their chilling touch was nothing compared to what Harry had just put out and he had not even changed at all.

"How is that possible for Harry to become something worse than a Dementor," asked Dumbledore with actually fear in his voice this time.

"This is guessing most on my part but it deals with why he is so strong as well. Though this will be mostly guess work, but I think it is because of that soul fragment that was connected to him for the last 11 years. As you can probably guess that soul fragment probably tried to take over Harry but since it was so weak Harry's magic was able to keep it back. But as he grew older the piece grew stronger with Harry meaning more magic was needed to keep it held back. Meaning since his magic was always being used for 11 years, none stop, his magical powers were growing faster than any normal person and so were the soul's powers as well," Lina said explain what she had guessed.

"So how fast do you think they had grown," asked Dumbledore in wonder?

"I can only guess at best but if I were to take the amount of magic Hermione and Harry and do a comparison over between their first years. Harry's magical powers basically doubled in size two months, where hers doubled in size over all in a half a year. Though this did not make him as powerful as you he would have been by his fifth year if he had kept that fragment." Lina said explaining her ideas.

"But if that is true how powerful is he now," asked Dumbledore?

"Nearly on level with you," Lina answered.

"But how is that possible you said he would not reach that level till his fifth year at least," Dumbledore said in shock!

"Because of the fragment own power was growing a greater rate than Harry just to live. Because it had to shield of Harry own magical attacks while using its own magical to just stay alive as well. So when it finally died it had probably twice the amount that Harry had. Now since all that that magical power was basically given to Harry his magical power rose to heights on level with yours." Lina said explain Harry magical growth before she switched over why he would become a truly powerful Dementor, "Now from what I can tell your have about double the magical power Salazar had over all, since his talent were more towards tricks and potions not powerful spell," Lina explain feeling a little like she was a teacher for of the very school she the embodiment of.

"So if Harry changes his magical body will be that of twice any Dementor out there," Dumbledore said in shock falling onto a chair that appeared out of nowhere.

"At least, you are forgetting he is still growing in terms of power though it will be greatly decreased now that he has so much magic to draw on but not much to use it for." Lina said before she realized something, "Actually I will correct myself it will be worse, the Dementors I feel out there are weaker than any full grown wizard."

"That would make sense as anyone who stays in contact with them for long periods of time are said to have their magical powers drained slowly from their affects faster than that can regain their powers." But as Dumbledore said that stop as he realized something.

Lina as if guessing his thoughts spoke them out, "Harry will make the current Dementors seem like mere ghost by comparison. Am I right?"

Dumbledore nodded his face going deathly pale at the thought. He could face about 70 Dementors before he started to feel their effects but if he was to face one with power on level of himself, he would be overrun by his own feelings and destroyed. "We are truly doomed if Harry should fall."

"Yes we are truly doomed but only if Harry friends should fall. Remember while Harry's friends are around they will keep him strong and able to stop him from changing, and possibly beat the potions side affects fully and make them his once and for all," Lina said reminding Dumbledore that even while there is a dark side to things there is also light still in the world.

"Yes that is true; I thank you for your help Lina. But I feel I must be going now so I can keep a very close eye on Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said before getting up and quickly leaving with speed that denied his age. As he left he could not help but wonder how Lina could tell how much magical power a person had, but he decided to store that away for later.

Lina smiled before laughing to herself, "He truly is getting old Albus…. Hmmm maybe I should look to see if any current people here can replace him. In the mean time though I think I will watch what will happen between Harry and Draco soon." The Room started to fade around her as she faded as well as a weird thought hit her causing her to laugh one last time before fading completely.

Later that night Harry was sitting down enjoying his dinner with his friends. Fred, George, and Ron sitting across from him while Hermione and Luna sat down on either side of him, enjoying their dinner as well. That was until Malfoy decided it was time to make his move and walked up. "Well if it is not my favorite group of misfits." Draco said with a smirk on his face as he walked up.

Harry glanced over at him, carefully making sure his temper stayed in check, "What do you want Draco?"

"Well nothing much actually I would like to challenge you to a duel," Draco said simply his smirk firmly on his face.

"Why would I duel you Draco? You are a coward and did not even show for the last challenge you offered me. So tell me why this duel will be any different," Harry said hiding a smirk knowing he had got a good shot at Draco.

Draco smirk faded a little bit, "That may be then, but now I am not talking to you as a duel from a kid to kid, but rather as a head of house to a head of house."

"Again why should I duel you Draco there is no reason to fight you," Harry said simply before going back to his food knowing that Draco would most likely play that card that would possibly force him into the duel.

"Well you see since your little group of friends has one of Muggle born descent I have decided to bring her into my family. As I am sure you know the laws, if you do not duel me I will make sure once she is in my family her life will be a living hell," Draco said the smirk returning in full force or at least until Harry turned around.

Harry whole body seem to speak of death as he stared at Draco his eyes were once again the pitch black that seem to suck down and destroy light. "As you wish I will duel you for control of Hermione family adoption, but I will add one condition should I win this duel you leave me and anyone I consider my friends alone, by swearing your own magic to do so. I will write out a list of people who are considered close friends and friends so you know who you can and cannot talk to without having your magic beat you back," Harry said in a deadly calm voice.

"Fine if I should win you will leave this school forever and never return," Draco said trying to keep the smirk in place but failing a little bit. He did not expect Harry to already know about this or even stay calm, then he remember the Weasley twins were hanging around Harry a lot more. And even if they did know act like it he knew they were very smart and knew the laws of the Wizarding World, like any pure blood worth their money and time.

"In that case we shall duel after dinner, we shall have Dumbledore pick out a ref for this match. I am sure there are no complaints with this," Harry said a smirk forming on his own face.

"No I do not, I will let Dumbledore know what is happening," Draco said finishing before heading up to the teachers table not overly happy. For one Harry was not angry or even upset it seemed like he had hoped. He was calm and collected which meant he was able to give chose of a ref since he spoke about it first. Though it could have been worse Draco realized Harry could have asked for someone who favored him greatly to ref, and though Dumbledore seemed to favor Harry he would not do so in a duel like this. Then he realized one other problem he had left Harry chose the time of the duel rather than setting it himself, meaning he could not wait till his dad was done and have him beat Harry into the ground.

Draco quickly told the Professors what was happening, and much to his surprise them only nodded and said they would make sure everything was ready. And so he returned to his table and waited thinking over the spells he could use to go up against Harry in his head while he waited. While the list was not long they were ones that could possibly lead to his winning, if he was careful about it.

The Hall slowly felt fell very silent while supper was finished. Everyone knew what was going to happen and everyone had heard at least one rumor of Harry's great power. The teachers were also silent about their thoughts on the soon to be duel. Some did not want it to happen while other wanted to see this fight to prove their house was once and for all greater or just show the other up. And since there was nothing any of the teachers or headmaster could do to stop it because it was a duel between families was at least make sure it was as safe as possible.

Then as Supper time end as if by magic most of the hall fell quiet, as Dumbledore sighed and knew it was time to start. So standing up Dumbledore spoke to the remaining people, "To all student and teachers here today we have a duel challenged. As such I will ask, any of you who wish to watch, to please follow me to where the duel will be held."

With that Dumbledore walked down the Great Hall as the teachers and student that wanted to watch got up and followed him wonder where he was leading them. Even Draco and Harry wondered where he was leading them, or at least Draco did until Harry realized which floor they were headed too. As they reached the one of the Seventh floor corridors, a door appeared much to most of the gathered people shock. Dumbledore entered it followed by many of the student and most of the teachers. As they entered they could not help but look around in shock as the room had a full size dueling arena in it. Stands stood around the arena while a judging box stood right to the side of the area. The arena itself looked to be incased in a large bubble, but to most people who had any skill with warding, could tell it was a protection ward against spells that might fly towards the crowd. Inside this bubble was a flat arena cover in dirt with some large rocks that might offer a little protection.

As the students and staff quickly took their seats, Dumbledore started speaking as Harry and Draco entered into the door that led into the arena itself. "Now that we are all here I shall introduce our Judge and dueling contestants for tonight. Draco Malfoy current head of the Malfoy family has issued a Duel Challenge to the Potter Family and Harry Potter as the current head has expected. The stakes are the right to control Hermione Grange Magical Adoption and a magical oath. The oath will be for Draco, if he loses, to never bother any of Harry's friends as he declares them. The oath for Harry, if he loses, is to leave this school and never return." Much muttering was heard these words, both sides in many ways would lose a lot, though Draco less so then Harry. Dumbledore waited a few moments before speaking again, "As for our Judge we have a special judge for this duel tonight. Let me introduce Lina the embodiment of Hogwarts."

At first a few people laughed until the room darkened suddenly and a voice seemed to come from everywhere at once spoke. "Well Dumbledore I must say I am honored and a little annoyed you picked me to be the Judge. But seeing as I wanted to be able to watch the duel in person, I guess I will let you off this time." The room suddenly lit back up as Lina appeared in a full black dress a large black pointed hat rested on her head as she head a wand in her hand. Luna could not help but look at her in shock a few tear escaping her eyes as Hermione catching this hugging her close. Hermione could easy guess as to why Luna was almost crying, since it was very likely Lina might look very much like Luna dead mother.

Draco looked at Lina closely, knowing if what Dumbledore said was true then he would get no help from her, or even be able to bribe her for that matter. Harry on the other hand just smiled, because he now knew he was free to use his magic as he liked. Lina smiled lightly at both of them, "Now then Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Potter please bow. We shall begin at my command and only at my command, if at any time I declare one person the winner you are to stop firing spells at once, fail to do this… and it shall bring painful problems for the transgressor. Also lastly my word is final, do you have any question!" Both Harry and Draco shock their heads no, each keeping their eyes on each other before they bowed.

"Good, now begin," Lina said before disappearing completely.

At once Draco shot out spell at Harry, but Harry side stepped them simply before returning fire with his favorite disarming spell. Draco not wanting to be in the way of it put up a shield and move out of the way best he could. Harry spell smashed into it and broke the shield down in a second before flying and hitting a large rock behind it causing it to move about two feet. Tilting from one side to the next, causing most people to gasp at that since the power needed was more than most students had.

Draco looked at the large rock before he started his attack sending spell after spell at Harry. But much to Draco anger none got through to him as Harry put up a basic shield stopping the spells completely. But Draco knew the shielding had a weakness, one being it could be overpowered and the other simply moving to a different location where the shield might not be covering. So using both of them Draco moved to the most powerful attack spells he knew as he moved about the arena to try and find a weak point in Harry's shield. But it did not seem help as his spell did no more damage to Harry's shield then raindrop would do to a window during a storm.

Harry was starting to look rather bored, because to be honest he had nothing to do yet. With only really had 3 spell that were helpful to him a basic shield, a disarming charm, and a stunner. The shielding spell and stunner where taught to him by the twins saying that each while good would not stop someone with true skill. And it seem like Malfoy did not have that skill. But what Harry did not know it was the sheer power and his lack of fear, that he had that made it impossible for the shield to give way to Malfoy semi spells.

Malfoy by the time the duel reach the 3 minute mark was looking very angered and a little tired. He knew he had to end this soon and fast or he was going to lose, and he would not let himself lose at all. So calling upon most of his power he shot a fire ball out toward Harry and his shield. Dropping to one knees panting lightly he watched hoping that it would work. And for few second the fireball seem to fight with the shield before the shield fell.

Harry for the first time during the duel felt worried as the fireball impacted into the shield. The worry he felt unfortunately causing his magic to waver enough causing the shield to fail. The fireball thankfully had dying down by this point but not enough as it hit Harry hard causing his clothes to catch fire and burn away quickly in spots and his own body to take a few burns. Thinking fast he fell to the ground using it to smother the fire though causing him more pain as the burns rubbed against the dirt. Slowly he got up but noticed Malfoy was nowhere in sight moving forward. As he move he did notice the fire that had hit his hair was also out and his hair had returned to normal already, and his burns were healing though slowly. So carefully he moved forward groaning from the burns. As he moved halfway across the arena he past one of the rocks that was large enough to hide behind, when he felt a wand tip against the back of his neck.

"Well Potter it seems I got you," Draco said breathing more evenly now. Draco had moved behind a rock after noticing Harry was not fully beaten, though was a little surprised at his luck to remain hidden. He then spoke again moving a little close to speak into Harry ear tease with a smirk on his face, "Any last words before I am declared the winner."

"Yeah hope you like pain," Harry said before his right elbow shot backwards into Draco stomach. Draco back up a little holding his stomach from the blow gasping a little in pain surprised at the sudden blow but even more at what happened next. Harry quick spun around with a step forward to close the space between them his foot came up and hit Draco right in the balls. Most of the male in the group watching widen in shock at that as they knew girls would pull that stunt but never a guy. Harry smiled as Draco fell over than remembering a spell use the full body bind hex on him.

"Well Draco how does it feel to lose," Harry said smiling though he was still wincing a little in pain as the movement had causing his burns to rub against his robes, even if they were almost destroyed in the burned spots. "Now I am going to warn you one last time Draco Malfoy stay away from me and my friends or you will learn true pain," As Harry spoke his who body seem to darken and cold feeling seem to come out from him causing Draco to shiver even with the full body bind holding him still. With that he shot a stunner at Draco making sure he was out cold before he turned and walked towards the Arena edge.

Lina smirking reappeared, "Our winner tonight is Harry Potter. As per the rules and the agreement of this Duel Draco will be giving his word before he leave this room, until next time I bid you all a good night and pleasant dreams." Lina said as Harry got back to his friends, almost back to normal again, and they left the room headed for the Hospital Wing.

Everyone sooner after left expect for Snape who stayed behind to wake up Malfoy and unfreeze him before he to left. Draco tried to leave but found he was stuck as the door was sealed shut then a laugh was heard behind him as Lina reappeared. "Now my little friend you are going to make that magical promise or this is about to get rather unpleasant," Lina said with a laugh that would send shivers up anyone spine, as Draco realized he may not live to see tomorrow.
