Friendship and Beyond 23/?
Rated: R contains mentions of rape and torture, although not actual scenes. Possible HP/SS in later chapters, also HG/RW.
Authors Notes: I do not own Harry Potter or it's characters, that would be JKR. Subject matter not for children, although nothing too graphic, but be careful when reading just to be on the safe side.
Defensive Spells
"Incendio!" A deep voice commanded, causing a path of fire to light from his wand toward the three robed wizards in the center of the room. One of the three pushed the other two out of the way, dropping his wand in the process, barely missing having their collective heads lit on fire.
"Accio wand!" Growled the self same voice, looking disgusted with his opponents. He grasped the phoenix-feathered wand in his left hand while throwing a stunning charm right afterwards. This time the three didn't need prompting to get out of the way, and the hex hit the wall behind them harmlessly.
"Bloody hell! You're wizards use magic."
"Expelliarmus!"
"You're going to have to do better than that, Weasley." Snape sneered as he deflected the curse with a mere flick of his wand. The curse hit Ron causing him to fly through the air and land on top of Hermione. As they lay in a tangle of arms and legs, Harry stood in front of them, guarding them as they tried to stand.
"And what do you plan to do, Potter?" Snape asked mockingly. "I have your wand."
Harry raised his hand palm outwards and concentrated on summoning his magic. Harry figured that he had been able to do wand less magic a few times by accident so why not when he concentrated.
"Impedimenta!" He bellowed, causing Snape to be knocked into his desk a few feet away. Before the potion master regained his equilibrium Harry continued on the offensive. "Accio wand!"
With his wand firmly in hand ha cast a shielding charm around himself and his two friends right before Snape threw a cruciatus curse their way. It hit the green shield and bounced off it harmlessly. Keeping the barrier in place until the last possible moment, the trio each jumped apart, leaving Snape with three moving targets. He went after Potter primarily because he considered him the largest threat. Just as he threw a stunning curse at Potter, which he jumped out of the way of, he was hit from behind with two separate curses.
"Stupify!"
"Expelliarmus!"
Severus couldn't move out of the way fast enough and he was hit by both curses at once. He lay there stunned and bleeding slightly from the mouth. Ron, Hermione and Harry, were looking down at their professor in disbelief. They quickly enervated Snape, who woke up slowly. He shook his head as if trying to clear the cobwebs from it, and then rather suddenly flipped over.
"Imperio!" Snape snapped pointing his wand at Hermione. Before Ron or Harry could react, Hermione had stunned them each in quick succession. Having not expected an attack from their friend they were unprepared for it.
When they woke up they were bound by magical black ties keeping the three of them in place on the floor. Snape was standing over them holding his wand steadily aimed toward them, their wands sticking out of his pocket.
"How do you ever expect to survive the coming battle if you continuously hold back?" Snape asked in a serious tone of voice. "You had me beaten for a second, but you just had to appease your Gryffindorish tendencies and check to make sure I was okay. Look what your nobility cost you."
"You never would be able to take out a real death eater with the curse that you use. If I hadn't been holding back you three would have been dead by now. This is not going to be a schoolboy fight in the hallway." Snape continued. "If you treat it as such you will not only get yourselves killed, but others as well, who will be trying to protect you from your own stupidity."
"What would you have us do then?" Harry asked curiously, wiggling around in his restraints.
"The hexes that you used were, with the exception of the shield charm, were all lower level hexes. You cannot expect to survive against well-trained dark wizards using the disarming curse. Now, don't get me wrong I don't expect you to use the killing curse or any of the Unforgivables, but you need to know how to defend against them."
"The reflect curse, the Legimens curse which is a low level mind manipulative curse, the sweet dreams hex which traps the opponents mind in their fantasies until the curer lifts the hex. There are many curses I can teach you to better equip yourselves, both offensive weapons and defensive. Now, are you ready to start again?" Snape asked softly, watching the students' enraptured expressions.
"Yes." They all agreed, after which Snape released them from their bindings.
"Very well, let us begin."
