Chapter 14: The Picnic
Voldemort paced impatiently around his room. Thoughts running rampant in his head. Should he go himself or just send others to kill the boy who lived? He finally decided he would not go, but have his Death Eaters bring him back alive. Yes, that would be best. He would kill him on HIS terms and conditions.
There had been a slight change of plan in the location of the picnic, but good old Voldemort would still be able to find them. It was shifted closer to the shrieking shack. Dumbledore thought it best for Severus to be in there just in case anything happened he wouldn't be exposing himself to Voldemort. Severus had been busy during the evening making the invisibility potions they would need. He made up 50 vials of the potion, that should be enough for everyone and then some. He had Harry help him on the evenings Harry was to visit. Severus was sorry they had to do that instead of spending better use of the time together. But if everything worked out they would no longer have to hide from everyone anymore, so it was well worth it.
Severus had written his mother and told her of the plan and what was happening and she decided to come for a visit Friday evening to see her grandson before the plan went off. Just to make sure he knew she did love him, just in case the worst happen. She then also decided to go see Albus and join her son in the shack to help with the charms on Harry. Albus agreed since he knew it would do no good to argue with the woman. She would get her way one way or another so it was best just to give in. The next morning was full of anticipation. All the volunteers slowly leaked into the entrance hall and up to Dumbledore's office. There was Arabella Figg as well as Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, all of the children except Ron and Ginny. Mad-eye Moody was there as well as quite a few other Aurors. This was going to go off well. Ginny had also decided to join the trio for the picnic. This was something she just had to see. This was going to be great, as long as they could get their hands on Wormtail, that was the minor plan, they knew if Voldemort wouldn't come himself that he would send Peter. This would free Sirius and he would be able to live a normal life, with his godson Harry. Severus knew how important it was to his son to have Sirius in his life. This is why Severus took the first step after he found out that Harry was his son, to burry the hatchet with Sirius. He did it for Harry, his one and only son. He still didn't personally like Black, but his son loved him. He wanted his son to be happy, which is what any father would want. If that meant him biting his tongue and getting alone with or at least tolerating Black then it was well worth it in Severus' mind.
The time had come for the trip to Hogsmeade. Severus handed everyone his or her potions, and gave then an extra one just in case. He wanted this to succeed so badly he could taste it. After everyone had taken their potions they all headed out to Hogsmeade together, they stayed a good deal away from the children ahead of them and talk of the plan. Severus and his mother were already in place at the shrieking shack when the kids got there. They had made a quick stop at the Three Broomsticks to pick up their butter beer. They laid out their blanket and basket and they all sat down around it. All of a sudden Harry felt a strange tingle around him. He knew then that his father and grandmother protected him. He looked up at the shack and smiled. This told them he could feel the protection they had placed on him. The other adults had placed themselves apart from each other and they were silently waiting.
They didn't have to wait long that's for certain. About 20-mins after the kids sat down there were cloaked men with masks that were slinking their way around the shack in the direction of Harry and the other three kids. The 'protectors' watched them and made sure they stayed out of the way. They did not want to scare off the Death eaters by their sheer number. Voldemort it turns out didn't come himself. They were fairly certain though that Wormtail was among the Death Eaters that had come. There was a total of 10 Death Eaters. Harry had noticed the movement at the side of the shack and told Ron Hermione and Ginny, and also to keep them going as they were and to not be alarmed. So they continued to talk and giggle as if nothing was going on. They did know they were VERY well protected by everyone around them. They were in absolutely no danger at all. The Death Eaters however didn't know that.
The protectors noticing only 10 Death eaters, they paired up behind each one as they approached the kids. The Death Eaters not knowing they were in fact not going to get to do what they were sent to do started to circle the kids. Harry looked one of them dead in the eye and said "Hello, sorry not enough for you, your going to have to go tell Voldemort if he wants you fed to send food with you next time." Harry smiled as he said it as well, like he knew something the Death Eaters didn't know. He in fact did.
"I'm not here to eat potter. You're coming with us to go see The Dark Lord" He spat out hatefully. Harry recognized the voice as Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew.
"I think not, Wormtail" Said Harry in an evil tone. Ron swung around and sneered at him.
"Oh yes Ron, it is me, Scabbers. Potters your coming with us like it or not. My Master wishes to talk to you" Peter snarled.
"I said no Wormtail" Harry couldn't explain but he felt something surging in his body. It felt strong in a way but nothing like he had ever felt before. He knew it wouldn't hurt him because he could feel it was coming from inside himself. Like something had woken up inside of him. This wasn't far from the truth. It had been known for many years that Harry was very powerful. How else does one survive the killing curse at the tender age of 1?
The Death Eaters were now surrounding the kids. A strange look started coming over Harry's face, but it wasn't scary for anyone how saw it. Severus and his mother saw it and weren't sure what on earth to think of it. Harry was going to do something they could all tell, but what it was no one knew yet. Not even Harry.
Wormtail tried to make his way over to Harry and bounced into something. He was 10 feet away from Harry and Severus and his mother looked at each other and knowing they only cast it around Harry's person this was too far from Harry to have been their charm. They looked at each other then continued to watch. "Whose here with you boy, tell me now or I'll kill you myself" Yelled Wormtail
"No one else is here Wormtail. Just me and my friends here." Harry stood and started walking towards Wormtail without the slightest look of fear in his eyes. This worried Severus and his mother. The protectors were there, they would not let any harm come to Harry, but they all watched in fascination at what Harry was doing. As Harry approached Wormtail he could feel power radiate off of Harry. Wormtail's eyes grew big with fear of the little 15 year old boy that approached him with such power you could feel it coming from him. He didn't even feel power like that coming for Voldemort himself.
By the time he realized it was sheer raw power coming from Harry he tried to turn and run but Harry launched him through the air and he landed with a thud on his back about 30 feet from where he started. Harry still walked towards him. "You filthy rotten bastard, you killed my mother" Said Harry with another evil look in his eyes, something hit Peter with such force it felt like a boulder landed on him. He tried to change himself into his animagus form but couldn't. "Oh that's right Peter, your aren't going to run and hid like you did when you framed Sirius for murder." Harry walking closer and closer. The other Death Eaters could do nothing but watch. The protectors were doing the same. Harry turned around quickly and said "Grab them now before they run" the Death Eaters felt hands grabbing them. It took everything in Severus not to run and help his son. Seeing this scared him. He thought Harry was going to Kill peter. Even though Harry had every right to kill him since it was his fault his mother was dead. Harry had absolutely no intention of killing peter, oh no; he needed to live with what he had done to Harry and his family.
Harry didn't realize it but he had cast a memory charm without his wand so that Peter couldn't change into his animagus form. He would never be able to do it again. Peter felt another shock to his system; this felt like a lightning bolt had hit him square on. He screamed in pain.
Harry felt a hand on his shoulder and said "NO, he needs to pay for what he has done to me, I will not kill him but he will suffer at my hands, I have earned that right" his eyes never leaving peter for a second. Severus had never heard Harry Potter speak with such a vengeance in his voice. It did frighten him, and his mother. All they could do was watch as he tormented Peter. Peter lay thrashing on the ground. These attacks on Peter went on for what seemed like hours but had only been 10 minutes. He was in pain, then it all stopped and Harry fell with a thud to the ground as he had depleted his power. Ron, Hermione and Ginny all ran over to them. Peter was unconscious and the protectors had gotten the rest of the Death Eaters away, so Severus Kicked to door out of the shack and ran for his son. The last 2 protectors and took Peters limp body back up to Hogwarts.
Severus got Ron and Hermione to move so he could pick up his son and get him back to the castle to the hospital wing. Mrs. Snape followed with the other kids.
"Mrs. Snape, what exactly did Harry do and how did he do it without a wand?" Hermione asked as they walked back to the Castle.
"Well, I am pretty sure, that all the hate Harry Has for Peter due to the circumstances was what caused the surge, but I never had any idea he was so powerful. Voldemort better watch out when Harry comes into full power." Said Mrs. Snape trying to comfort them. All of them were scared for Harry.
"What on earth happened?" Yelled Madam Pomfrey the schools nurse. Two invisible people told her then Severus appeared in the door carrying Harry in his arms. "Put him there Severus and you may sit with him, he is merely drained he will be alright he just needs sleep."
Severus laid his son on the bed very gingerly. This had been the first time that he cried since Lily was killed. He walked over to Peter who was starting to wake. Severus pulled out his wand and simply said. "I should by all rights kill you Peter; you killed my love as well as deprived me a life with my son." Everyone was sure he was going to do Avara Kadavra, the killing curse, on him, but he didn't. He left and went back to his son's side, and then Ron, Hermione and Mrs. Snape entered the room. They all went to Harry's side and waited.
Voldemort was very upset when nightfall came and none of his Death Eaters same back. He punched the wall and cursed Potter. He would get his revenge.
