Chapter 8
The Duel

Harry made the barrel hit the lever and it made the door close. Lucius and Draco jumped back. They both pulled out their wands. Harry pulled off his cloak.
"So Malfoy, preparing for something in the Gryffindor Tower are you? Well you are going to have to get past me first." Shouted Harry. Draco pointed his wand at Harry.
"Flipendo!" Shouted Draco. Something fell behind Harry.
"Move over Draco," said Lucius.
"Imperio" shouted Lucius.
"Expelleamous!" shouted Harry. Lucius went flying backwards.
"Father!" screamed Draco.
"Expelleamous!" shouted Harry. Draco and Lucius were both on the floor. Harry pulled his invisibility cloak back on and went back to Gryffindor Tower. But before he went back he pulled the Truth Potion out of Lucius's pocket and returned it to Snape's Office. He walked back and met Ron in the hall. It was midnight now and they both walked to the common room and went to bed. The next morning Harry got a letter from Sirius:

Dear Harry,

I am doing well here with Buckbeak. As soon as I get my named cleared I will come to see you. Dumbledore will make sure that no one will see me. Well come and bring me food sometime. I already got Lupin to get over to Hogwarts. He should arrive there soon. Right now I'm just sitting with Buckbeak and getting Daily Prophets. Well glad your scar hasn't hurt in a while. See you soon.

Sirius

"Ah! I have to send him a letter about my scar hurting yesterday," said Harry. "Don't bother Harry, you don't want him to worry about anything else. Anyways it only hurt for a short while," said Hermione. "Let's get down to breakfast," said Ron.
