Summer to Remember
Harry Potter/ Fay Dunbar
XXIII
Cedric ducked a killing curse and winced as Harry retorted with a blasting curse that casually reduced the caster into pieces. "Is that necessary?"
"Necessary, definitely. Cedric…Voldemort is back. We're in a duel with him and his Death Eaters, they're trying to kill you and maim me so Voldemort can kill me. Now…I don't know about you, I'd rather return you alive." Harry replied as he pulled out his Thunderbird wand and his Phoenix wand and began to return fire.
Cedric quickly joined in. Lucius Malfoy had his wand arm removed from his body thanks to a shredding hex by Cedric. The Seventh year winced as a bludgeoning curse slammed into his shoulder.
"How far to the end of the anti-apparation wards?"
"Not a clue, we're gonna need to make a move…Fuck's sake. I need one of the fuckers, change of plan. Cedric you're going to run, I'm going to do some magic that's gonna make holding these wards a bad idea."
Cedric paused, ducking as a spell caused a Tombstone to liquify. Cedric responded with a spell that rent in the earth in twain "Diggory Clan Spell…That sort of magic is like only the darkest, ancient and powerful type of magic. Though the magiks of the native Celts, Picts and Druids could rustle stuff up like that."
Harry nodded "My family magic and summer studies."
"Would that be the reason of the perpetual near enough school year overcast?"
"Something like that."
Cedric nodded "I'll leave you to it."
Harry smirked and with that began work. He focused on the air around, specifically on the oxygen molecules and began to introduce the kinetic energy he was generating with his movements. The ambient spell-fire assisted in the effort as well.
When spells went through the air, they excited the air molecules causing the light to bend, refract and various other influences…hence the wide range of colours. All emotions did was lower the requirements and inhibitions on the human body, allowing the body to release the energy known as magic. Elemental magic operated on these requirements, hence why it was so spectacularly powerful and dangerous.
Harry grinned, ever since he'd been forced to participate in this Death Tournament, he'd been storing potential and kinetic energy. He'd been feeding it constantly to his Thunderbird-self and into his own impressive magical reserves.
The Thunderbird screeched in approval, and Harry felt the Thunderstorm power within him boom. Harry reached deep inside him and pointed his Thunderbird tailfeather wand to the sky and a bright pillar of emerald green magic burst forth.
A newly resurrected Voldemort, looked. His ruby red eyes flickered with unrepentant malice. "Get him!" With that he himself began to glide towards the location, when an almighty shattering sound was heard.
Cedric took the chance to discreetly look up to see the anti-apparation wards crack and shatter. He took the chance and was gone with a crack, before any Death Eater realised where he was. He landed on the lawn and began to run for the judges "HE'S BACK! LORD VOLDEMORT BACK…HARRY IN TROUBLE."
Cedric collapsed gasping for breath "Mr. Diggory, where were you?"
"In a Graveyard, Harry…trapped. Tombstone said Tom Marvolo Riddle…Unsure of the significance but You-Know-Who came back, summoned his Death Eaters and they've been trying to kill us."
"Are you sure Mr. Diggory? This is quite a prepos…" Began Fudge only to be looking down the wand of Cedric.
"I am VERY FUCKING SURE. Now I see why Harry, likes threatening Wizarding Officials…you're all fucking spineless. Now are you going to check my story or suck someone off and forget about it because of the convenient gold that's appeared on your desk? Don't hide it Minister, my Father's seen it happen."
Fudge gulped, he turned to waddle away "Arrest me later, Aurors. Stupefy." With that Fudge went unconscious. As he hit the floor, more aurors and Hitwizards arrived with a befuddled Misuse of Magic member.
"SOMEONE! I'VE BEEN DETECTING WHAT LOOKS LIKE STORM MAGIC OVER A LOCALISED AREA CALLED LITTLE HANGLETON." Dumbledore's face hardened.
"I, Supreme Mugwump Albus Dumbledore will investigate. I do this in my capacities Supreme Mugwump and Chief Warlock. As Headmaster, I lockdown the school, all Staff and Students will remain exactly where they are under threat of censure, immediate expulsion and the risk of the charges of aiding and abetting terrorists, attempted actual harm, attempted grievous bodily harm, intention to perform terrorist acts. So, mote it be."
"Mr. Diggory, would you please look me in the eye…I have no desire to risk your life again. I wish to use legilimancy on you, in order to get a precise location in which to apparate to."
Cedric nodded, then Dumbledore apparated with the Aurors and Hitwizards in hot pursuit. However, what no-one noticed was the shape of Remus Lupin and his dog vanishing as well.
Back in the Graveyard, Harry smirked. His localised thunderstorm was building momentum, after a while and enough heat energy. Someone had started throwing about fire spells, in order to try and smoke him out. Harry backed away, only to find himself backing into MacNair.
MacNair smirked "I've…" Harry pulled out a handgun and pulled the trigger four times. MacNair went down as two bullets went through his shins and he died as the latter two punctured his heart and chest.
Harry stopped; his heart skipped a beat. He was so still that a heart exploding hex missed him by millimetres. Harry snapped back to reality to pull up a series of defensive magical shields all of which a particularly intense killing curse bore through, it was Harry's last chance with a unique spell known as 'Curse Deflector'. It required pinpoint precision and a lot of magical power to deflect curses especially the unforgivables.
The side-effect of deflecting an unforgivable it imbued the deflectors signature into the spell as well. Voldemort arrived Dumbledore and the Aurors arrived "Potter…!" Shouted someone but Harry stopped. The storm was intensifying, Harry looked and Antonin Dolohov was the closest to him.
Dumbledore moved to intercept Harry, but he was surprised when Harry apparated and landed behind Dolohov. Everyone watched as Harry disarmed Dolohov of his wand and rammed the Holly Phoenix Feather into the Dark Mark. "Mae mellt yn fy nharo, ac yn cydgyfeirio'ch pŵer trwy'r marc hwn. Mae mellt yn fy nharo, ac yn cydgyfeirio'ch pŵer trwy'r marc hwn. Mae mellt yn fy nharo, ac yn cydgyfeirio'ch pŵer trwy'r marc hwn." Harry chanted, he concentrated on the lightning storm as he and the Thunderbird harmonised and sought to bring it down on himself. All the ritualised Thaumaturgy was doing was to link the Dark Marks together.
For Harry, it didn't take much to realise that Voldemort and his minions were linked. Harry had deduced that he too was linked to Voldemort somehow. "MELLT!" Harry shouted, for a moment everything went quiet, nothing had happened but then Dumbledore looked up.
The Storm had gotten heavier, the wind and the rain had become heavier and obscuring their view. However the lightning that cracked and flashed across the sky was a bright emerald green, then like a cobra the lightning slammed into Harry, the power coursed through him and into the Phoenix and Holly wand. Fawked combusted into flames as did Voldemort's Yew wand and Harry's own wand along with a Yew Tree near by caught alight as well. It didn't matter, the fact that the brother wands were both destroyed in conflict with one another. Harry concentrated, he was focused on two things kill Voldemort and sparing Pettigrew.
Oh no, he was going to kill Pettigrew for voiding on a life-debt and he was going to kill him in broad daylight. But first Voldemort and his Death Eaters, everyone watched as Voldemort froze, then as he tried to scream his body began to blacken and burn. Soon enough the other Death Eaters from where the dark mark had been had begun to smoke and blacken, a few tried to amputate but the magic was already pulsating through their bodies. A few tried to apparate, but a few Aurors followed and they returned with ash.
Everyone was transfixed as slowly but surely all of Voldemort's servants were killed. However as the Aurors scouted the area "We've got a live one...Fucking Merlin, it's Peter Pettigrew...how'd he survive this?"
"Evidently he'd done something to Potter to warrant this...stay of execution."
It was then that Remus arrived, Sirius shifted out of his animagus form and sprinted towards his Godson as Peter Pettigre was brought to the Headmaster alive. "Sirius Orion Black, Hadrian James Potter, Remus John Lupin, the three of you are under arrest. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, if you have a lawyer you can contact one and if not one will be given to you, do you understand your rights?"
The three men nodded, they noticed that Pettigrew was also being arrested. "This should be fun, oh fuck...hopefully the Government has sense."
"Maybe depending on the briber." Sirius replied and with that the four of them were taken away in a blur of colour.
