Where in the world is Hogwarts Castle?
Chapter Three: Battle of wits
"Where the heck is Harry?" Ginny demanded "He should be back by now."
"He's just now seeing the people of Hogwarts fir the first time since they thought he died. Three years ago. That's a lot of time to make up. I imagine he'll stay the night. Let's leave a magic mouth for him. We'll come back tomorrow." Oliver told her
((note: Magic mouth is a spell from dungeons and dragons that I thought would be helpful. It's pretty much what it sounds like. A magical mouth. It will tell Harry whatever Oliver wants it to.))
"That's true. Let's go. I'm starved anyway." Ginny responded.
::with Harry and Sirius::
"Ok my invisible friend, the rules are: No spells that could result in anyone's death, no memory charms, and if you tap the ground three times or if you are knocked out, you lose. No leaving this dungeon. Everyhing else is fair game. OK?" Sirius asked
Harry nodded in agreement.
"Very well." Sirius said before giving a salute
Harry returned the salute. Snape raised his wand and shouted "Racsan!" A flag waved in between the two opponents and the battle was on.
::With McGonnagall:: ((yes, you read that correctly.))
Professor (and deputy headmistress) Minerva McGonnagall sat at her desk inside her office. She was presently grading papers. Such individuals she taught. She had precious few students she was proud of. Out of the three, one was a Slyherin. That boy was the best student at transfiguration since James Potter. But he wasn't just good at Transfiguration. According to his grades, he was getting O's in everything. Young Magnus Needlewind. What was she to do with him. The boy didn't have an ounce of discipline in him, yet all of his answers were always correct. Each time he was asked to demonstrate something in front of the class, he would get it right, every single time. She was on her way to thinking about ways to get that boy to calm down and stop it with his childish pranks, when an owl whistled in through her window. She removed the letter from the school owl and read it.
-Minerva
There's a man down here asking about the potions job. ((note: Snape got the Dark arts job)) Sirius is in a dueling club meeting right now, and asked not to be disturbed for anything. What do I do?
Then, there was the official stamp she put at the end of all her letters
Molly Weasley Hogwarts Secretary
Minerva flipped the letter over and wrote on the back.
-Molly
Send him up, If it goes out of my authority, I'll call Sirius. He can't stand up to me. I assume he's afraid.
Minerva used her seal at the end of the letter, though she put it on a bit crookedly.
Minerva McGonnagall Deputy Headmistress Head of Gryffindor House Transfiguraation Professor
Minerva attached the letter firmly to the Owl's leg before sending it off.
'It's about time the school got a potions Professor again.' She thought
::With Harry::
Harry twirled his staff expertly before launching a full assault of curses and hexes including three disarming spells, five stunners, a twister hex, two jelly legs, a full body bind, a bat bogey hex and two leg lockers. The onlookers stared in amazement as all the spells bounced harmlessly off of Sirius's shield charm. A very strong shield charm.
"You're good. Much stronger than I expected." Sirius complimented before sending a banishing charm and two bull crusher curses. Harry used his staff like a bat and deflected the bull crushers aside and sent the banishing charm back at Sirius. Sirus was hit squarely in the stomach and sent sprawling backwards.
Sirius didn't miss a beat and sent his own spread of curses. Two Tsunami hexes, followed by a dozen stunners. The "audience" started cheering.
Harry rolled aside and sent a hail of gravel at Sirius. Sirius stepped aside and launched a pair of bola curses back at Harry. Harry chopped through both bolas with his staff blades ((he does have a blade on his staff if you remember)) but one of the balls clipped his arm and sent him spinning.
Harry muttered some very dirty words ((which went unheard since he's mute to them)) and sent a sandblaster curse back at Sirius. Sirius narrowly dodged the curse. They were even in battle. Dead even. Or maybe they hadn't pulled out their tricks just yet...
::With Minerva::
Minerva heard a knock at her door.
"Come in." she called.
A young man with long blond hair walked in. Minerva felt her heart begin to pound. This was going to be an interesting year.
::With Harry::
Harry had formed a plan in his head. Without a word, he set it into action. Three impediment curses and six bola hexes. One of those was bound to hit, which would give him a chance to transform. One of the bolas caught him right across the middle, pinning his arms to him and knocking him to the floor. Transfiguring his wand into a sword, he cut through the ropes of the bola. He turned towards Harry, expecting to see the end of his staff at his throat, but didn't. He saw a giant scorpion.
"Ohh shit..." Sirius said softly.
Thankfully he was saved by the voice of the Deputy Headmistress.
"Headmaster Black! You have more important thing to do than duel. We have an applicant for the potions job. Go and meet him. NOW!" Minerva screeched
"We'll continue this later. All right?" Sirius asked
Harry popped back into himself and nodded to him. He'd been so close...
END!
