Chapter Twelve
Forty minutes. That was how long it took for Lord Voldemort to reach Hogwarts. It took Rai and Ems less than that to prepare. They stood side by side in front of the doors wearing nothing but their leather pants, and they stood confidently.
"Are you two sure you'll be okay?" Hermione asked again. Ems nodded to her. "No weapons?"
"No need. We'll be in our hybrid forms most of the time. We also have wandless abilities."
"I just don't want to lose you again!" Hermione cried. Rai sniffed and grimaced.
"You better get inside. A horrible stench is headed this way." Hermione nodded and ran back into the castle. The doors closed and locked behind her. Rai turned to Ems with a smile. "Are you ready for this?"
"Very."
"Good. Because here it comes." Lord Voldemort indeed was stalking up the path leading from the Forbidden Forest. He stopped when he caught sight of the two boys.
"Is this all that the old fool has to protect the school?" He asked with a laugh. The band of Death Eaters behind him laughed as well. "What an idiot."
"You underestimate us Tom. That was always your weak point." Ems said softly. Voldemort jerked back in surprise.
"What did you call me?"
"Tom Riddle." Ems stepped down and padded foreword, Rai close behind. "It is your name." Voldemort glared darkly.
"Who are you?" Ems lifted his gaze to take in the man standing feet in front of him. Red eyes flashed in recognition. "Potter!"
"Correct. Although I prefer Ems." Voldemort shook his head.
"But you were in Azkaban!"
"I broke out." Ems curled his lip. "And now I am ready to rid this world of your existence!"
"Big words, for such a young boy!"
"You are forgetting that I am twenty now." This appeared to throw Voldemort for a loop before he was able to regain his senses.
"Like that scares me." He pulled his wand and Ems wasted no time. He growled and quickly transformed into his hybrid form, startling Voldemort into stepping back. Ems leapt foreword with a snarl and closed his massive jaws around Voldemort's wand arm.
"Master!" Rai transformed as well now, and leapt at the band of Voldemorts merry followers.
IN THE CASTLE..
Hermione, Ron, Albus, Severus, Minerva, and the rest of the professors watched as the two hybrids leapt into action. The large black and green one, Ems, had the upper hand against the Dark Lord. The other black and silver wolf, Rai, made quick work of the Death Eaters.
"Amazing..." Hermione breathed. "I've never seen a real Demon Wolf before." They all gasped as Ems tore the wand from Voldemorts hand. Voldemort fell backwards under the wolfs weight and they could hear his piercing scream as the wolfs jaws tore into his neck.
"Oh my.." A large shadow floated up from the dead body and flew at Ems. It disappeared into the wolfs body and Ems fell backwards.
"NO!"
"Hermione, stay here!" Ron grabbed Hermione before she could run out to Ems. "It isn't safe yet." Rai took out the last Death Eater and rushed to his packmate.
"Will he be all right Albus?" Hermione turned to her mentor.
"We will have to wait and see." He replied as Rai nosed the limp form of Ems.
