Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, I were J.K. Rowling, which I'm not.
And if I owned the songs or the tongue twister, I'd also be someone else.
Unfortunately, I forgot who sings the songs, sooooo... No credit to them.
Sorry.

Chapter 24- A Flea, a Fly and a Flew –Part 2
"Jack Towers, surrender in the name of the Ministry of Magic!" said one of the Aurors and from somewhere behind him, Harry heard Towers' voice.
"This is so cliché!" he mumbled and moved in the middle of the circle of students. "What is this all about?"
"Jack Towers, in the name of the Ministry of Magic, I, the head Auror..."
"Get over with it, will you?" said Towers, raising an eyebrow. "I know who you are, but your reason for coming here and asking me to surrender is, however, still a mystery."
"You are arrested for the murder of Monica Kane and Allebara Ronald and for using the Cruciatus curse on Mark Evergreen" the Auror said, a bit thrown off course. People were usually impressed with his status.
"I have done none of those, my dear Aurors", Towers said and, after considering it for a second, added calmly "I have done others, but this is not my work." A smile appeared on his face and Harry had the feeling that Towers was not going to surrender for the world. A dark aura seemed to appear around him and Harry shivered. But nobody else seemed to notice this as the man smiled to the Aurors. Tonks was quiet and looking at him with curiosity, maybe a bit of fear. She was in the Order with him! She knew what he could do.
"What have you done?" the Auror asked, looking a bit taken aback by this sudden confession.
"That is not your business right now, is it?!" Towers answered, raising an eyebrow.
"These are the charges and you shall go with us to Azkaban now, whether you want to or not" the Auror said, deciding that he shouldn't ask him any more about the other things then and there. Maybe in Azkaban, though, with the man tied up and without a wand.
"I seriously doubt that" said the Professor and his smile got a bit more intense. His hand shot towards the wand and in the next second a few stupefying spells shot towards him. However, the spell used by Towers wasn't offensive, as they had expected.
"Protegus!" he cried and the spells bounced off the shield and towards the Aurors and students. A few students got stupefied, not being fast enough to jump out of the way or draw their wands. They were woken up by the ones around them. Towers grinned deviously, shooting only a glance at the 'casualties'.
"Give up, Towers, you can't fight us all, no human being can!!!" one of the Aurors cried.
The man in front of them started to laugh, making them stare back in surprise.
"You're right, no human being can!!!" he answered and pocketed his wand.
"Finally, one smart move from you, Towers!" said their leader, obviously relieved. "So, you give up and come nicely with us to Azkaban, right? And we'll even give you a trial!"
"How very kind of you!" sneered Towers. "But I have better business to take care of than escaping from that prison. No, I'm not coming with you."
Everybody around stared in surprise. But the man pocketed his wand, didn't he??? How come he didn't give up and yet didn't fight?
"Come now, make it easy for yourself!" said Kingsley and tried to smile.
"Well, as tempting as that might sound like, I'd rather not." He sneered again.
"What can you do? Consider your chances!" tried one of them to convince him. Tonks was just looking at him, seeming a bit amused.
"Already did that, thanks for the idea. Seeing you, I believe they're quite good. I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky" he sang cheerfully, not a care in the world. "I think about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can fly!"
The Aurors stared at him. He was in danger and he was singing! Out of all the things he just had to sing, didn't he? He was crazy, he didn't have to go to Azkaban, he had to go to St. Mungo's! Meanwhile, he changed his song, seeming to have forgotten the words in his first one.
"Oh, yes, I am the Great Pretender! Pretending that I'm doing well... Oh, yes, I am the Great Pretender!"
"This is your last song in freedom, Towers" said the leader of the Aurors, starring at the man in front of him who was happily singing. This was not the average murderer or dark wizard they caught.
"Wanna bet?!" he asked and stopped his last song and, grinning, started singing a new one. "I'll soon be gone now, forever not yours! It won't be long now, forever not yours!"
Even a baby could have seen that Towers was mocking them and enjoying it badly. Surprisingly, so did the Aurors. Their leader looked furious and ready to strike.
"Towers, I warn you!!!" he cried, but the man grinned and stopped his singing.
"You warn me that what?! You're gonna attack me?! Save me from drowning in the sea, beat me up on the beach, what a lovely holiday, there's nothing funny left to say!"
If the situation hadn't been so tragic, Harry might have considered it extremely funny. Towers was definitely enjoying himself mocking his attackers who didn't want to attack a person without a wand. That and they didn't want to attack a man who had helped them, or seemed to had helped them by fighting on their side a few times, proving that he was very, very powerful and always ready to strike and who seemed to be... mentally damaged. Especially the last one. Especially because although he seemed –seemed? No, was- crazy, they knew that he wasn't the right person to fight with. Unless you had a death wish. And he did seem perfect for the mental ward at St. Mungo's.
"...Everything we've ever stole has been at last return at home and no more dragons left to slay...Pam-pa-pampa-ram-ram-pa-pam. Every mistake I've ever made has been rehashed and then replayed as I got lost along the way..."
"Shut up!!!" the leader of the Aurors yelled, pissed off.
"Well, well, someone is losing his temper. You really shouldn't, it makes you lose in duels because of attacking at wrong moments." Towers said, reminding everybody around of the way he thought his classes. "But you should know that even though I'll run away now, I'll always be there for the ones that need me." He stopped for a second. "That was Dumbledore-ish. Anyway, maybe I should give you the name of a person through whom you may contact me. In case you come to your senses."
The Aurors stared at him. A contact? When he was supposed to hide?! That is, if he got away?! Maybe they should send him to St. Mungo's. No, they should definitely send him to St. Mungo's.
"Her name is Sania Demonheart" He said. "And now I'll run away, if you don't mind."
"You can't run away!" Kingsley said.
'How did the tongue twister go?' Towers asked himself, while grinning madly at the Aurors. 'Ah, right! A flee, a fly and a flew/ were in prison so what could they do? Got it!' After thinking for not even two seconds, he replied, mockingly:
"Then... Me, a guy and you/Were right here so what could we do?!" He started while grinning. "Said me let me fly/Above your heads in the sky/So I'll flee out of here in a sec."
Everybody stared at him as he finished his version of the tongue twister. A devious grin was on his face and he looked like a mad, dark, powerful wizard. Double the 'mad' part. No, multiply it by ten.
"You can't fly out of here, Towers!" the leader of the Aurors said "There's no way."
"Then I'll flee."
"You can't flee Towers. There's no way you can get past 10 Aurors."
"Oh, but I will in three..." the wizard said, raising three fingers.
"You can't! We won't let you!" the Auror said, looking desperate at Towers who seemed to have gained control of the situation somehow.
"Oh, I'm so scared! Two..." he said mockingly.
"You can't get past us!"
"Wanna bet? Let's make it... ten Galleons! I'll be coming back for my money. One..."
"Stupefy him!!!" Kingsley cried, taking control. He didn't like doing this, but he had to if they wanted to catch Towers. Or if they wanted to act as if they wanted to catch Towers. And he really could find no other way to prove his loyalty to the Ministry.
But as ten stupefying spells shot towards him, Towers' body started morphing, leaving the Aurors speechless and shocked as the spells bounced off him.
His eyes got larger and red, fiery, his face got long and black, his arms and legs were now powerful and black in color, his body got long, snake- like and two beautiful wings sprout on his back. In other words, he became an elegant, lizard-like, 10 meter long dragon.
Its body was black with silver on the tips of his wings and some stripes of the same color on its tail and body.
Everybody stared at him as he opened his mouth and shot some fire into the air, as a warning. Then, the Aurors started shooting random spells at it. They weren't Aurors for nothing! Even though there was this huge, black, powerful, dragon that used to be Towers and looked as if it could kill them all if it wanted to, they could not fall into awe!
The dragon seemed to laugh as the spells bounced off it or got absorbed in it, and then it stretched its wings, taking no notice in anything else that happened. Then it shot up at a huge speed, circling over their heads a few seconds and then flew over the Forbidden Forest, disappearing from sight in less then a minute.
From somewhere, everybody could hear a song getting stronger. Maybe it was a spell someone had cast. It must have been the 'veni cantus'.
"It's a new world, it's a new start, it's a life, it's a beat of young heart. It's a new day, it's a new plan. I've been waiting for you... HERE I AM!"
"Wandless magic" Harry could hear Snape mutter behind him. "I should've known"
And so, the sun shone merrily above the awestricken students, professors and Aurors, no more dragons or Towers, a pleasant song above them all. All in all, it would have been a happy scene had not the event happened.

"God help me if he could've escaped any weirder" a wonderful, human, yet not human-like woman said to a tall, powerful man. "He is a curious one"
"So much like me. Ah, I love the songs he sang!"
"Is that why you have chosen him?"
"I chose him because he is so much like me" the man answered and smiled at her. "How could I choose ones that are not like me?"
"But what do we do about our young Bearer of the Torch?"
"Help him on his path."
"Then help him on his path we will"

Author's Note: I LOVE THIS CHAPTER! *cough* Em, sorry. Got a bit carried away. So, pleeeease review and tell me what you think! P.S., I wanted to put the song 'Hit the Road Jack' by Ray Charles here, but the overall atmosphere of the song didn't fit. But I had to mention it!
Thanks to:
Babyjayy: Thank you and... is this fast enough?
Skillz: *turns red* Thank you! And I'm glad you like Snape.
The Red Dragons Order: Actually, the fact that Jane mentioned that there White Stag was a coincidence. Ah, well... Seems I have to mend things together. And Harry and Draco... I definitely needed a devious Slytherin to think of the plans. And when I started thinking he should be tall and blond and with a great success at women, I started laughing. Sounded a lot like a character we all know... So, to cut this short, thank you!
Violet: *turns very, very red* Thank you! Thanks, thanks, thanks! And here's the new chap!

Harryp/charmedfreak: Well, by the time you get here, there will be completely different problems, so anything I say would already be out of date. But thanks!
