A/N; Merlin and Serpentine first ecounter with Voldemort was not easy to write since I had many ideas for it, but I decided to stick to this one.

The next chapter will be the outcome of the battle.

Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review.

Auditorium

The large room filled with busy Wizards and Witches, a group of dark Robe Wizards came up to the receptionist. "How can the Ministry help you..." The young Wizard stuttered out as he noticed the Wizards were wearing white skull-like masks.

"Well for starters you can die!" The leading Death Eater hissed as he waved his Wand. "Avada Kedavra!" The Death Eater yelled sending a green curse at the quickly ducking receptionist.

"How dare you defy me?" The Death Eater yelled as groups of Wizards and Witches removed their normal everyday Robes to reveal important looking dark blue Robes.

"Death Eaters surrender or face the coincidences!" Shacklebolt shouted as the Death Eater trained their Wands at the Aurors.

"Like we are afraid of you, Death Eaters attack!" The leading Death Eater hissed and spells we sent towards the Aurors, whom quickly scattered barely missing the deadly spells that came at them.

"Thank you for using those Dark Spells, since now we can retaliate with deadly force." Shacklebolt grinned as the Death Eaters laugh.

"Yah right you can't hurt us, it's against your pathetic laws!" The Death Eaters laughed but stopped as spells shot from the Aurors, quickly sending many of his men down in pain. "You can't do this the Laws suppose to protect us!" The Death Eater yelled in shock at seeing many of his men cut up, or gravely disfigured by some sort of Curse.

"Well you were protected during the time of peace, but since this is a time of War which you foolishly started Death Eater scum!" Shacklebolt laughed as the scared looked in the Death Eaters eyes. "And because of this, we Aurors now have the every right to use deadly force against you!" Shacklebolt laughed, as more spells cast and soon an all out battle started.

In no time, the not so experience enemy easily cut down, as the battle ready Aurors quickly surrounded them. "Surrender Death Eaters scum and we will take your wounded to St. Mungo's." Shacklebolt barked but a powerful and very intense dark Magic exploded across the room, sending most of the Wizards flying and crashing into the ground.

Once the explosion died down, the Aurors whom was surprise to find themselves fully protected by a golden shield saw a nightmare appearing out of shadows. "Fools you dare challenge my power!" Voldemort yelled as he glared at the protected defenders.

"You call that Power Tom, I known Wizards with ten times the strength you just shown." Merlin's voice echoed across the room, causing the Dark Lord to look around.

"Merlin show yourselves, and I will show you true power!" Voldemort hissed and in a flash of golden light a middle age Wizard, with a snakelike Witch appeared before him.

"Tom, Tom, Tom, do you really think you can challenge my power." Merlin clicked his tongue at the not so happy Dark Lord. "To let you know Tom, you only just have a fraction of the power I control, so don't even think you stand a chance against me." Merlin warned as the very angry Dark Lord ran at him, and to everyone's surprise the young Witch pulled out a sword and swung it at the Dark Lord, to block his sword that appeared just seconds before reaching the Immortal Wizard.

With his sword blocked, the Dark Lord glared at his counterpart. "Serpentine, the current Torn of my side." Voldemort hissed as he backed away, and got in a defensive position.

"Tom Riddle, the so call Half Blood Wizard." Serpentine spat, causing the Dark Wizard to sneer at her.

"You will pay for that remark Serpentine!" Voldemort yelled before exploding in a dark cloud, which sent beams of darkness flying across the room.

"Serpentine be careful Tom will appear when the Beams of Darkness connects." Merlin warned as he and his Apprentice tried to follow the fast moving Darkness.

"It would be nice to know where Tom will finally show himself...." Serpentine started to say, but the Darkness flew before her, and exploded sending Mentor and Apprentice painfully to the ground.

"So the Great Merlin can be hurt, for a second I thought I you were invincible." Voldemort laughed as he appeared before the fallen Heroes.

"I can be hurt Tom, but as you can see, I am a fast Healer." Merlin spat as he helped his Apprentice to her feet.

"Merlin you maybe Immortal, don't forget I am not." Serpentine painfully complained as she stood to face the Dark Lord.

"I don't care what you are Merlin, I will find a way to end your Immortality!" Voldemort yelled before disappearing, and taking most of his still standing Followers.

With the Dark Lord gone, the Head Auror looked to his men. "Everyone gather the fallen Death Eaters, and get them to a St. Mungo's secured rooms." Shacklebolt quickly ordered and his men did as he commanded.

With his Aurors busy, the Head Auror walked over to the Immortal, whom was Healing his Apprentice Injuries. "Merlin, Serpentine, will you both be alright?" Shacklebolt worriedly asked as the Immortal Wizard nodded.

"Not to worry Shacklebolt, I am already healed, and Serpentine have only slightly bruises, which can be easily heal with the most basic potions and spells." Merlin quickly assured the relieved Auror.

"Merlin you call this Slightly Bruised, I feel like I was run over by a herd of Hippogriffs." Serpentine loudly complained as her Mentor looked to her.

"Just be glad Serpentine that your Armor absorbed ninety percent of the explosion Tom caused, or you would be in worst shape then you are now." Merlin warned as he took hold of his Apprentice. "Shacklebolt I think we should head back to school, unless you need me for anything?" Merlin wondered as the Head Auror shook his head.

"We can finish up this mess the Death Eaters created, Merlin you should go ahead and take care of Serpentine." Shacklebolt suggested and with a nod, the Immortal and Apprentice vanish.

With the Immortal gone, the Head Auror sighed in relief. "Thanks to Merlin, our future battles with the Death Eaters will end far better then the battles fought in the last War." Shacklebolt thought as he looked over his man, and looked glad that all of his Auror had survived, but with survivable injuries, he quickly went to help his fallen comrades.
