Chapter 42: Legend Beasts Reborn
Looking over at Charlie, Harry nodded.
"Kreacher! Take the baby over to Andromeda's and tell her I am sorry for the burden. You are to stay with her and follow her instructions... If something happens to me, tell her I'm sorry."
Kreacher gave a start and bowed deeply.
Harry and and Charlie helped Percy up. Charlie started using some healing spells that he had learned from being a dragon tamer.
"What is going on Percy?"
"Attack. Two sites. One near St Mungo's, the other near Big Ben. It is taking all of the Ministry to keep the muggles safe and not spreading the word that magic is real.I got too close to one of the things and I know the Death Eater that was attacking St. Mungos. It was Antonin Dolohov . He... Harry where are you going?"
"He killed Lupin!" harry said loudly as he threw some floo into the fire.
"Harry please. You can't go rushing off." Charlie said, shooting out his hand and stopping Harry from going into the green flame. "You can go after him once we get a team together. Percy, you said all of the Ministry is busy?"
"Yes. I came to get both of you. They are using giant serpent creatures." Percy explained.
"Have you contacted anyone else?" Harry asked.
"No I haven't." Percy said.
"Well then, time to call in friends." Charlie said, pulling Harry away from the fire and sticking his head in.
"No! I mean they don't need ot be put in danger." Percy said, trying to get to Charlie but sitting back into his chair due to pain.
"Too late. We are doing this. Stay here." Harry said and soon people were flooing into the room.
Bill, Fleur, Ron, Cormac, Hermione, Draco, Terry, Blaize, Dean, and Seamus all appeared into their house, all with their wands out.
"Right. Hermione, Draco, Blaize, Dean, Seamus, and Terry will go with me to St. Mungo's. Bill, Fleur, Ron, and Cormac will go with Charlie to Big Ben. Help anyone you can but your goal should be to stop the Death Eaters." Harry said, his heart hammering. Everyone got into their groups and were stepping into the floo one by one. Soon, it was just Percy, Charlie, and Harry left in the room.
"I want to go with you." Charlie said.
"Me too, but I trust you to get them through this alive. Plus you wanted more time with you family right?"
"Prat." Charlie said, leaning into a huge kiss. They broke apart and soon, both were spinning in their own direction to a grave situation.
Harry Potter- St Mungo's
Harry stepped out of the grate and into chaos. All around him, healers were helping people to apperate and Harry had to quicky dodge people going into the flames and flooing away.
"Harry!" came Hermione's voice called out over the noise and Harry found his group of friends.
"What do you know?" Harry said and Harry looked at their horrified faces.
"Harry... It is bad. Really bad." Hermione said, her face going white "They have.. I mean Antonin Dolohov has a Hydra! They have been thought to be extinct for nearly a millennia. Oh Harry..." Hermione said, getting flustered at Harry's face of not understanding "A Hydra is..."
THere was a massive crash and part of the building collapsed. Harry no longer needed to know what a hydra looked like because one of its heads was staring directly at him. Standing around 4 stories high, the hydra was like 7 basilisks fused into one creature. Even now, its 7 heads were waving around, knocking into buildings and its massive feet were crushing everything in its path. One mouth opened and expelled a large amount of a green substance and where it landed, the streets simply melted.
"Potter!" came a harsh voice and Harry just dodged a jinx sent his way. Harry looked around and saw Antonin Dolohov striding through the rubble. "You and your little friends can't stop this and you can't stop me. Remember, it was I who killed your precious werewolf scum. I..."
Harry cut off Dolohov by starting the duel, his green eye flashing. This man was going to , Harry saw his friends teaming up and trying to stun the Hydra and doging the green venom and crushing feet. Harry himself was doing pretty well against Dolohov, but was at a distinct disadvantage because Harry was trying to help his friends, the people running around, and duel while Dolohov was just focusing on Harry, his face twisted in malicious glee.
"Stop this! Please!" Harry hissed out loud, trying to talk to the Hydra.
The Hydra just roared and kept on attacking.
"No use talking to it Potter!" Dolohov shouted in glee "That is a true monster and is on a rampage! It won't stop until it has destroyed everything. This is revenge for killing our master!"
Harry dodged a curse but failed to see a giant foot heading towards him. He dodged just in time but was hit by an Incarcerous jinx. Harry fell, his body wrapped in ropes. Harry struggled to get fire, but it was useless. Dolohov sauntered over to Harry and forcibly turned his head so Harry could see his friends battling and losing against the Hydra. Harry saw Hermione shouting instructions and Terry was on the ground, holding his arm which seemed to be bleeding. Blaize was near him, firing off hexes furiously.
"Your friends are going to die here and it is all your fault. Crucio"
And Harry felt the familiar pain shoot through him. He knew it was a lost cause. He was going to die and he was not going to have Charlie with him after all. Harry heard a roar and then a screech and knew he was done for.. wait a screech?
Charlie Weasley- Big Ben
Charlie appeared via floo to find himself in a small house, the rest of his family/team huddling behind a door.
"What is happening?" Charlie asked, noting that all of them were looking panicked.
They all simply pointed out the window.
Outside was a serpent that Charlie Weasley had thought just a story. Standing no smaller than Big Ben himself, 8 towering heads lashed around with 8 massive tails, all pute white. The eyes were a deep red and each head was thrashing about.
"That is an Orochi... They aren't supposed to be real." Charlie said, his heart plummeting. "The only waythat was described to kill one was ot lure it to sleep and then kill it."
"Right. We can do that." said Bill, his face stern and all of them charged out of the house.
"Wait!... Damn it." Charlie yelled, not mentiong that it was a Japanese God that did that the last time. Charlie charged after them.
As he ran into the street, he was greeted by, however, a man stood in his way. This man was tall and had his wand out, aiming at Charlie.
"You are the filthy muggle lover and blood traitor that is "in love" with Harry Potter." the man said and he sent a killing curse at Charlie, which he was able to dodge at the last moment. "You have no idea who I am. I am Rabastan Lestrange, brother in law to Bellatrix, who was killed by your disgusting mother. Your friends and family stand no chance against the Orochi and your precious boyfriend will be killed by Dolohov. You will have no one and then you will die."
Their duel began and Charlie was fighting for everyone. His family, the ministry, Harry. He had to get back to Harry. He had to say something to Harry. He had to answer Harry's question.
Charlie turned to dodge a jinx but realized that it was too late to dodge. The spell hit him in the arm and Charlie felt his arm start to burn. Looking down, he saw that the arm was being infected by a series of black boils, and it was steadily going up his arm. Charlie feel with a cry as he felt the pain rising.
"You are going to die, as is the rest of your filthy family, especially that loathsome Harry Potter. Goodbye Charlie Weasley. "
Rabastan raised his wand and Charlie was unable to raise his own. All he could do was watch as the wand started to come down. It would be over soon, and Harry would be lost to him forever.
'Harry, please forgive me.'
