Chapter 9 - The snake and the Dog
"You two have heard the rules..." Ludo began, "Begin on the flag." He added.
"when I'm finished with you they'll have to get the house-elves to pick up your remains Black." Lucius said as the flag went down.
The flag went down, and unlike the last battle, the competitors didn't move a muscle.
"What's he doing ?" Amy muttered somewhere to james left, but nobody answered. They were wondering the same.
"Make your move Black." Lucius said, to the crowd as well as sirus.
Sweat dripped from both of their foreheads. Neither bothed.
"Do something," Moony wispered, "Do something he won't expect."
And at that Sirus did something no one could have predicted, he slowly moved down into a crouch and placed his wand on the floor.
Some of the crowd seemed confused and began wispering but the rest, including James and all his friends stared silently.
"You want my move Malfoy," Sirus began, "Well there it is."
A grin broke out on Malfoy's face, "You forfit ?" He asked in a cold yet pleased voice.
But sirus shook his head, "No, I think we should fight without wands," Sirus said, "Find out whoose the better man."
The crowd all stared at Malfoy, waiting for a response. Whould they see a fist fight.
Malfoy's grin however did not fade, it increased,
"I already know who the better man is." Malfoy said, "So no thanks."
And at that Lucius flicked his wand and a burst of electric blue shot ot his wand and struck Sirus in the stomach.
The crowd all winced as Sirus landed on his back inches away from the edge. He was screaming in pain for almost two solid minutes before Malfoy ended his jinx.
"Never were as smart as the rest of your family, were you sirus ? " Malfoy said as he marched across the stage and picked up sirus's dropped wand.
"Your a coward Malfoy," Sirus told him as he struggled to stand up.
"No Sirus," Malfoy said, coming nose to nose with Sirus. "I'm am.."
But before Lucius could finish Sirus had punched his in the face knocking him to the floor.
"Stupify !" Malfoy yelled through the cheers and Sirus fell slowly backwards off the stage.
"Your winner.." Ludo bagman began, "Lucius Malfoy." The crowd booed as Lucius raised his hands in the air.
James was filled suddenly with an extreme burst of hatered.
'I have to beat Snape." A voice in his head said. 'Malfoy has to pay for that.'
