Harry Potter and the Shield of the Magical Power

Chapter Ten

"The end of the mission"

Harry turned, and he saw a tall, very thin man, with red narrow eyes.Voldemort was there!!

"Go away Potter.Now!!" he said

"If I don't do this, what will happen?"

"I'll have to kill you!!" Voldemort replied

"Well.so, do this, if you are able." Harry said with a challenging look

"Avada Kedavra!!" Voldemort yelled

Harry moved his wand very quickly, neither him knew how he knew what to do, but however a grey shield erupted from his wand's tip, and it absorbed the curse, then it vanished.something of the green flash of light succeeded in passing through it, and it hit Harry.

Harry fell down, and for some moments he seemed dead; Voldemort started to laugh loudly, and said: "You had to do this sixteen years ago, Potter, with your parents.but finally you are dead.nobody can stop me now."

"I'm.not.dead.yet." Harry said, in a low voice, and Voldemort's laugh stopped; he seemed quite shocked for Harry being alive another time.

"Inverto" Harry cried and Voldemort was hit by the spell; "Ah ah ah.do you wanted to confuse me so easily, Potter? Crucio!" and Harry, surprised, was hit by the curse and fell down, crying in pain.Voldemort started to move backwards, still pointing his wand on Harry, keeping him under the "Cruciatus" curse.Harry was crying very loud, but he knew it will stop quickly.

In fact, Voldemort reached the door which hid the shield, and for opening it, he turned a little.his wand wasn't pointing at Harry anymore, and the pain stopped; Harry took advantage of this and cried: "Accio Shield!!"; a very beautiful and massive golden shield with the words "Shield of Magical Power" engraved on it, flew through the opened door, and Harry caught it; then he stood up; then, smirking, he said: "Do you want to continue?"; he knew that Voldemort wouldn't have risked to transfer him magical powers that he himself didn't have, making him invincible.

Voldemort's rage was evident, but he only hissed: "This not ends here, Potter.", then, with a loud "Pop" he Disapparated.

Harry, still very weak, grasped the amulet, closed his eyes, and he saw Hermione, also with closed eyes and an hand on her amulet.he smiled, and said: "It's all ok, honey.I'm coming to you!!!" and he saw her smiling.

He left the amulet, took the shield, Disillusioned it, then he ran out of the castle; he crossed again the park, and he saw from behind a tree Lucius Malfoy, who evaded from Azkaban, and he shouted: "Avada Kedavra!" killing him.out of the gate, he, not totally sure, extended his arm, with the wand in his hand, thinking: "Who knows if here it functions?", but suddenly.

BANG!!

A purple bus stopped abruptly in front of him; it was the "Knight Bus".he smiled, relieved, climbed on it, paying his ticket, then he took a chair, but he was just seated, when, as all the other passengers, he fell backward for the abrupt acceleration.

After some stops, Harry went down in the Hogsmeade village, because the Knight Bus couldn't go nearer to Hogwarts castle; so, he started to walk, exhausted.he had just opened the huge main entrance, and the only thing he could see was a black robe moving, and a mass of bushy brown hairs falling on his face.then, he felt something very soft on his lips, and he gave her a very deep and long kiss.he was returned to his loved Hermione!! They stayed so a lot, and neither of them would have wanted to break the kiss, but Harry had to do this.

"Hermione.sorry.but I have to go to Dumbledore's office to give him the shield.however, I think you can come with me."

"Of course, Harry, no problem.let's go!" and she took his hand; while they were walking to the gargoyle, Harry counter-Disillusioned the Shield, and showed it to her, who was amazed.its beauty was very fascinating.then, they gave the password: "Fizzing Whizzbees", and the gargoyle moved, revealing the office's entrance; they entered, holding each other's hands, and after some moments the Headmaster appeared.

"Take a couch, please.Well, Harry.as I can see, you accomplished your mission; it's your first success for the Order.I want to know all the minimum details."

Harry started his story; at the end of this, Dumbledore remained silent for some minutes, then he asked to Hermione: "And why aren't you surprised by this?"

She blushed a little, then she explained: "Because through this amulet, I can see the thing I love more in every moment, wherever it is.so, I see Harry with this, and I used it very often during the mission."

"And I have another of this, so I could see her when I wanted." Harry added, taking his one from the pocket; "Well." Dumbledore commented, taking the Shield "Luckily, you was somehow able to take this before Tom."

"Yeah.but even if I hoped it, I was a little surprised by him, escaping like this."

"Well.seeing the Shield's powers, he could not risk." "Why? What it has so special?" Hermione asked

"This, Ms. Granger, is a shield that, if used in a duel, not only can reflect or absorb every spell or curse, but it also gives to the possessor extraordinary magical powers, which neither me or Voldemort have.between them, there is the immortality.but nobody, apart from me, Harry, you, Tom and some members of the Order, knows about it.well, I think it is better if I go to hide it properly, now."

"Professor.can I ask a question?" Harry said

"Of course, Harry."

"Well.when Voldemort used the "Avada Kedavra" on me, I used that grey shield.but I never learned it before.I only knew what to do in that moment.how it is possible?"

"Well, Harry.it was the strongest Shield Charm that exist.and probably you knew about it through your connection with Voldemort.but as you saw, neither it can stop totally an "Avada Kedavra"."

"And why he survived, if the Shield Charm didn't blocked it?" Hermione asked, curiously

"It was the same Ancient Magic who saved him at the age of one, which saved him.even if in a less powerful form.it was your love for him."

They looked each other, a little blushing.

"Well.you don't have to be embarrassed for this.it is wonderful! And I think that Harry's love for you would have done the same, if you were in his place.now, I have to go.you can return to your common room."

They stood up, and exited from the office; while they were walking to the common room, Harry asked her: "Hermione.when he went away, and I spoke to you grasping the amulet, did you hear me?"

"Yes, Harry.with the amulet, it was as I were there with you."

After some moments, Harry said, suddenly: "Hermione.thanks."

"For what?"

"For existing!! You don't know how many times seeing you through the amulet gave me the strength to go on, because I wanted to return soon to you.you are the best and more important thing in my life.I love you so much, Hermione."

"I love you, too, Harry." and she kissed him, just when they were entering the common room, full of cheering Gryffindors.
