Chapter 23: The Demon and Test
School got back together a few days later and class started not long after that. It was the DADA that had the first exciting thing happen. Liriel was standing on the table as always but this time she had drawn a large rune and lots of smaller runes around it on the table surface.
"Welcome back to the new term. This term we will be studying the monsters of the Abyss and other planes of existance. Now out with you pens and ink." Liriel said to them while Drizzt was standing in the back of the room, next to her office door.
After everyone got their parchment ready along with ink and pen Liriel started to chant and the runes on the floor started to glow with a blood red hue.
All of a sudden a small creature that was no bigger than two feet tall was hovering in front of the class with bat like wings and a tail as long as his body with a stinger was hanging behind him.
Harry, Hermione and Ron all groaned when they saw Cespenar hovering in front of the class looking around at them all with his toothy smile. "Ooooo all the pretty shines can me have?" he asked Liriel.
Liriel shook her head to this and said, "No you may not. Now stay still so I can tell the class about you and your kin."
Malfoy looked at Cespenar who did as he was told. "What is this thing and how can it be a threat to us?" he said with a sneer in his voice.
Liriel looked at the class then at Cespenar still hovering within the rune circle. "Well, Mr Malfoy, Cespenar is a Imp and most Imps serve demons and evil Magi's from my world as their familiar or spy. Cespenar, however, is a butler to a demigod and friend of mine. Now class can any of you tell me what an Imp's primary weapon is?"
Everyone just looked around the room to see no one had the answer to that one, not even Hermione knew that.
Liriel smiled at the class. "A Imp's Primary weapon is his tail which hold one of the most powerful poisons know, but it also has the ability to go invisible at will any time it wishes. Well? Why are you not writing this down?" The class started to write as fast as they could while Cespenar entertained himself by going invisible within the circle and then attacking the runes on the table with his tail.
The class ended not long after that with Cespenar leaving in a cloud of black smoke.
Harry and Hermione got to Transfiguration on time and Professor McGonagall handed them both some papers to fill out about their Animagus forms. "You two may go and fill these out and then bring them back to me. That will be all." Harry nodded as Hermione gathered the papers up and headed for the door and their common room.
The rest of the school year passed like normal until the last 2 months came around and the test started for the whole school but the Twin Blade's test was the most 'fun'.
Everyone had gathered in the great hall that was a member of the twin blade's club that night to see Drizzt and most of the schools professors there as well. "Good evening class tonight is your test of skill. I have the permission of the headmaster for this so if you are not a member of this class you are to leave now and go to your common room for the rest of the night."
Some of the students that had stayed behind after dinner left at this before Drizzt continued. "Now the test is this. All floors below the 7th floor are the grounds of this test and it is dead simple. You will all leave this room and go out into the school where you will start after 20 minutes to hunt each other and try to be the last one standing. The Professors here will be all over the place to mark the people that are taken out of the test upon which said people will come to this room and wait to see who is the best in this class. Any questions?"
Malfoy was one to say anything. "Well, this is unfair. I mean not everyone is at the same skill level for one thing. Your prize students, Potter and Granger, are way ahead of the class so how will this be levelled out?"
Drizzt looked at Draco and said, "Did I forget to tell you that you can ally with other student at the start, but there can be only one survivor at the end. So remember that at all times that your friend could be the one to stab you in the back, now get started. Oh, before I forget, take a wooden weapon from the table out side. I do not need deaths on my hands and do hand over your wands to the table out side."
Harry with Ron. Ginny and Hermione left the hall and handed their weapons and wands over to Liriel who was standing behind the table of wooden weapons. "So the dream team is it? Well, these are your weapons." she lowered her voice for this. "So you know, stay the hunter not the hunted. Good luck."
20 minutes later found Harry and his friends standing outside the DADA room working out a hunting plan.
"Ok, so it is arranged. I will be the forward scout and if I say stop Ginny here will go to the front of the group and get ready to cover me if I need to run. Any questions?" Harry said to his three friends.
They all nodded their head at this and left the room with Harry in front by 20 feet of the rest.
A half-hour later found Harry looking at a resent ambush. All of the people here were outlined in purple fires that did not burn clothes or skin. Harry looked at them to see at least 5 people, all of them had bruises from a blunt weapon and a thin bladed weapon.
After making sure that no one was around Harry thought back to Hermione. 'Ambush and five less people in this test but no attackers. Come forward slowly through here, ok?'
'Got it Harry and be careful just in case they still are in the area.' She thought back as she, Ron and Ginny started forward.
They had gone about 10 meters when Draco with Crabbe lunched them selves from the shadow next to Harry, while Goyle and Pansy Parkinson blocked Hermione and the others from Harry and his fight with Draco.
Harry rolled out of the way of Draco's sword and Crabbe's axe and came up with his sword and dagger at the ready and blocking the next attack from Malfoy.
Hermione, with Ron next to her, attacked Pansy and Goyle while Ginny started to throw daggers at them until it was to dangerous to throw with out hitting Ron and Hermione so she turned with her staff to make sure on one else showed up.
Harry's hands were a blur of movement as he blocked Malfoy and Crabbe's attacks with little difficulty. Pansy cried out just then as Hermione's staff hit just under the ribs and on the follow through the side of her head, dropping her to the ground and now she was out lined in a purple fire.
Harry smiled at Malfoy and said. "So how did you manage to beat the five students down the hall from here?" his sword coming around and hitting Crabbe in the neck and he was suddenly out lined in purple before he hit the ground.
Draco, seeing this, started to work his way to one of the halls leading off this one and out of this fight with Potter.
Ginny was the one to cry out as a crossbow bolt hit her in the leg, numbing it. Four Ravenclaw's showed up with Cho in the lead.
Harry, with Hermione both abandoned their attack on the Slytherin and tried to help Ginny get out of the attack from the Ravenclaw's.
Ron had by then got Goyle in the back with his axe and then started to head over to the others and get his sister out of her fight with a Ravenclaw boy from the same year as her.
Harry managed to get in the way of Cho and Ginny and block the attack that would have finished Ginny off in this test. "So Cho, how has your last year been?" Harry asked with a casual air about him as he blocked her rapier attack with his dagger.
"Oh, you know test, N.E.W.T's and other work. You?" she replied to his question and swung an attack at Harry's head.
Harry blocked the attack and returned an attack at her saying "The same, just no N.E.W.T's so what are you doing after you leave this year?" His sword lunging forward aimed at her chest.
Cho dodged the attack while saying "Oh, I got a job offer at the Daily Prophet as a new Journalist for them. What are you doing after you finish next year?" she now started to move faster, attacking as fast as Harry was.
"You know survive Voldemort, start a family and Auror training and maybe teach after that I hope. Now where were we?" Harry stepped up his speed as well.
While Cho and Harry where fighting Hermione was taking on two of the Ravenclaw girl's while Ron was fighting the boy and Luna who was the crossbow man from the start. Ginny was on the ground unconscious having been taken out by the Ravenclaw boy with a sword cut to the chest.
Hermione had to go defensive to hold back the two attacker's but Ron did not have that option seeing that a axe is a powerful offensive weapon so it had to stay that way at all times.
Harry and Cho were now moving so fast that their hands where a blur of movement as one or the other tried to open a hole in the others defences. 'Hermione when I say so get Ron and get out of here. We can not fight this many of them at one time.' Harry thought to her.
Hermione nodded to this and managed to tap Ron on the shoulder with her staff while holding off the two Ravenclaw's at the same time. Ron nodded and started to walk back to one of the side halls off this one.
Harry smiled at Cho when Hermione and Ron were ready to run and said. "Well it has been a lovely talking to you Cho, but I have a Malfoy to hunt and can't stay to chat. Till later."
Cho looked at him with a strange look but backed up when Harry all of a sudden started to spin on the spot like Drizzt hade done some of the time in his fights.
Ron and Hermione, the moment Harry did this, were off and running down the Hall, with Harry following not long after, a smile on his face. "Cho's team is down one member. That boy thought he could get through that attack and ended up with about four hits, but lets get out of here now."
Drizzt had a smile on his face too then as he with Dumbledore and some of the other Professors were watching the test from the great Hall, thanks to a viewing charm cast by Professor Flitwick to show all the groups and who they were fighting.
"Drizzt, was that your move Harry just did?" Dumbledore said as they watched Harry and his team running down the second floor hall's, trying to get a rest for some air.
Drizzt nodded as he watched Harry lead the other two into an out of order girl's bathroom on that floor. "That was the wrong thing to do Harry." Drizzt said to him self "You just boxed your self in there."
"Filch, did you remember the chamber in that room when you and Professor Flitwick sealed all of the secret exits from the school?" Dumbledore asked.
Filch and Professor Flitwick looked at the floor at this, which clearly said 'no we did not'.
"Well, Harry just got his rest seeing that no one else can open that camber." Dumbledore said to this looking at Drizzt who was getting his weapons from Liriel just then. "Are you going after them, Master Do'Urden?"
"Well I have been itching to get into that camber and this looks like a good time to do that. Coming Liriel?"
Liriel nodded as she got her weapons as well.
"We should be back soon but keep the test going until we get back" Drizzt said then as he, with Liriel, left the hall and went out into the school.
Harry, with Hermione and Ron was sitting in the Chamber of Secrets just inside the entrance. "Well we should be safe here for a little while." Harry said, leaning against the wall with Hermione resting next to him and Ron on the opposite wall to them.
Hermione looked around at the cave like walls and bone filled floor. "So this is the Chamber of Secrets, Harry. Not much to look at is it?"
Harry smiled down at her and replied. "This is just the hall leading down to it. Be thankful that we do not have to go that deep." he shuddered at the thought of the Basilisk that had lived down there.
"Well, I say that you three have a test right now and your rest time is up don't you?" Drizzt voice said then, right next to Harry's ear.
Harry was on his feet and looking at Drizzt and Liriel as they both walked out of the hiding place next to where Harry was sitting a moment ago.
"Where did you two come from?" Hermione said from Harry's side, Ron getting up and standing on Harry's other side.
"We came from the door up there," Liriel said pointing up the tunnel leading back to the girl's bathroom.
"And as I said, you have a test and your rest time is up now GET!" Drizzt yelled the last word at them and Harry with Hermione and Ron behind him were out the door and back into the school within a heart beat.
"Do you think that was a bit hard on them Drizzt?" Liriel said after watching Harry and his friends run out of the bathroom and back into the fight.
"No, they had their rest and now it is time for the best of the best to face off." Drizzt replied leading her down the hall and to the main floor and the great hall.
It was an hour later that Drizzt's voice rang out around the school thanks to Dumbledore. "All students that are left in this test are to report to the great hall for the rest of this match."
Harry and Hermione both looked at each other. Ron had been taken out by a Hufflepuff attack led by Neville, who like the rest of his team Harry and Hermione had take out after the ambush had started. Harry and Hermione had fought back to back for the whole fight.
"Well, lets get there and see who else is still kicking, my love." Hermione said to Harry as they started to walk down the hall of the seventh floor.
Harry and Hermione walked in to the Great hall to see Malfoy with a seventh year Slytherin girl who, unlike the other girl's from the house, was quite good looking with long black hair and deep blue eyes. Her figure was filled out in all the right places. On the other side of the wall were Cho and Luna waiting for Drizzt to get to them now that Harry and Hermione had shown up.
"Ah, I see that the six of you are here. Now the last part is a tournament style and the first match is Hermione VS. Catherine." The Slytherin girl got up off the wall and walked out to the mat that Drizzt had put out for this. "Same rules as out in the hall, but you may not go outside the mats. Now lets get this started."
Hermione looked at the mats to see a 16' circle. In the middle of the mat Catherine had already stepped into the ring with her long sword at the ready. Hermione walked in not long after looking at the mat.
The two faced off then advanced on each other, Catherine leading her attack with the point of her sword and Hermione's staff coming around to hit it out of the way and then attack Catherine.
The two kept on fighting like this for 20 minuets before Catherine managed to get her sword through Hermione's defences, hitting her in the chest and out of the ring. "Winner Catherine Emrys! Now it will be Harry VS. Cho." Drizzt called out as Catherine helped Hermione out of the ring with glares from her fellow Slytherin at helping a Gryffindor.
Catherine handed Hermione over to Harry with a smile. "I did try to pull the blow so she should be fine in a little while. I hope to see you in the last match." Her voice was soft and gentle to hear.
Harry nodded to her and placed Hermione on a chair next to him then he walked into the ring to see Cho ready and waiting for him. "So Harry. Shall we finish what we started at the being of this?"
"Let's and then I can go on to face Malfoy and win this." Harry replied to her.
"You have to beat me first, lover boy." Cho said throwing her hip out to show off her figure and flashed her eyelashes trying to distract Harry.
Harry laughed at Cho's attempt to flirt with him. "Cho, look at Liriel and Hermione." Cho did so and saw them both looking back at her, their hips resting much like hers was now, Hermione still managing to do it even in her chair. "Now you know that I can not be flirted with, or at least not with my girlfriend here or my older sister, so lets get started."
Liriel smiled at what Harry called her and thought 'I always wanted a little brother'.
Cho nodded her, rapier out and ready. Harry had both long sword and dagger out and ready as well as the two of them attacked each other at the same time.
Everyone watched as Harry and Cho moved as fast as they could, trying to open the others defensive moves. The match lasted 30 minutes before Harry had his sword resting on Cho's neck and his dagger blade on her hips, her rapier lying on the floor next to her. "Winner Harry! Next is Luna Lovegood VS. Draco Malfoy."
Harry walked off the mat and over to Hermione and Liriel.
"So Harry, am I your new sister? Well I always wanted a little brother and I can think of no one better for a sibling, so I will allow you to keep calling me that. But not in class." Liriel said when Harry got to them and pulled up a chair to watch Draco with his Katana and Luna with her short sword fighting on the mat.
The match went to Draco when he pulled his dagger from under his robes and hit Luna in the side, ending it.
Drizzt got up then and walked into the middle of the mat. "Now we have a problem. You see we have three finalists, Harry Potter, Catherine Emrys, and Draco Malfoy. So here is the solution. All three of you will fight at the same time." He looked at Draco who was breathing faster than normal. "In ten minutes the match will start." he walked off the mat then and over to Harry and Liriel.
"Well, little brother, this will be good. You VS two Slytherins. I think I will go see if there is a betting pool at the moment." Liriel said, walking away from Harry and the others to where most of the Professors were gathered.
Harry nodded to her then looked over to Catherine who was trying to get away from Malfoy who, by the looks of it, was trying to tell her what to do against Harry.
Catherine in the end just walked away from him and over to Harry and took the chair Liriel was sitting in a little while ago. "That bar... that thing wants me to fight you with him and then for me to give the match to him. Well, I say he is all your's and then I will fight you after you have a breather. Sound fair?" she said to Harry.
Harry nodded and got up when Drizzt walked into the ring again. "The last match and for added incentive, the winner will be known as the best in Hogwarts for this year. Now, Lady and Gentleman take up the ring and may the best person win."
After Drizzt walked out of the ring Harry, with Catherine and Draco, all walked in at the same time but Catherine just sat down and watched as Harry and Draco went at each other's throats.
Draco attacked with both his Katana and dagger at the same time while Harry was fighting with his trademark long sword, dagger combo. "So Malfoy. How did you get to the top 6 students? Hide after meeting me or take out all the people that you could by ambushing them?"
Draco just kept fighting and he started to look angry at Harry's comments to him about his fighting style.
The match ended when Harry was suddenly on the other side of Draco, his sword and dagger held out as far out as his arms could stretch and Malfoy was laying on the floor with two bruises forming on his cheeks.
One of the Professors cast the levitation charm to get Draco out of the ring as Harry and Catherine faced off. Catherine was waiting for Harry to catch his breath while stretching her arm's and legs for this match.
Harry took off his robes to show the jeans and shirt he was wearing underneath and got into a combat crouch ready for Catherine's attack while thinking to Hermione. 'I think that she would be a good addition to the Hunter's, don't you, my love?'
'Yes, I think so too, but for now just try to beat her. Ten gold says you win for me and Liriel bet against Snape and some of the other teachers.' Hermione replied to Harry as he and Catherine started the match.
Drizzt watched them then looking at Liriel asked, "What are the odds?"
"50/50 at the moment but my money is on my little brother. You?" she replied a small smile on her face.
"I am the teacher, I can not place any bets because that would be favouritism." leaning closer he said in a low voice while handing her some gold "Ten on Harry to win."
Liriel nodded and walked over to Dumbledore who was keeping the books on the matches.
Harry and Catherine were still fighting half an hour later, with the Gryffindor's shouting out Harry and Catherine's name in equal measure as was the other Houses accept for the Slytherin's because they thought that Catherine was not a true Slytherin at heart.
"You know Harry, you are quite good. How did you get this good this fast?" Catherine said while dodging one of Harry's attacks.
"I can ask you the same thing but I think that we are just naturals at this." He replied as he too dodged an attack by Catherine.
Five minuets later found Catherine's sword on Harry's neck and Harry's on her neck as well. "I say a draw don't you Dumbledore?" Drizzt said, as the two just looked at each other, weapons still on each other's throat.
Dumbledore nodded and started to return the money to the people who had placed bets while Hermione run up to Harry as he and Catherine collapsed onto the mat from exhaustion after the test.
"Harry, are you alright and you Catherine how are you?" She asked while helping Harry to his feet to shake hands with Catherine, who was also getting up after catching her breath.
"I will be fine and that was a good match Harry. We have to do that again some time." Catherine said after shaking hands with Harry, then started to leave the great hall for the Slytherin's common room.
Drizzt walked over then. "That is all for this year people, so off to bed with you for I know that some of you still have O.W.L's tomorrow and others have N.E.W.T's as will. Good night to you all." On that Drizzt vanished into a cloud of blue smoke with Liriel walking off not long after him, mumbling about being a show off as the other students and Professors wandered off.
Ron walked over to Harry then and gives him a hand up to the common room and wishes a good night's sleep for tomorrows test.

"You know survive Voldemort, start a family and Auror training and maybe teach after that I hope. Now where were we?" Harry stepped up his speed as well.
While Cho and Harry where fighting Hermione was taking on two of the Ravenclaw girl's while Ron was fighting the boy and Luna who was the crossbow man from the start. Ginny was on the ground unconscious having been taken out by the Ravenclaw boy with a sword cut to the chest.

Liriel nodded as she got her weapons as well.
"We should be back soon but keep the test going until we get back" Drizzt said then as he, with Liriel, left the hall and went out into the school.
Harry, with Hermione and Ron was sitting in the Chamber of Secrets just inside the entrance. "Well we should be safe here for a little while." Harry said, leaning against the wall with Hermione resting next to him and Ron on the opposite wall to them.
Hermione looked around at the cave like walls and bone filled floor. "So this is the Chamber of Secrets, Harry. Not much to look at is it?"
Harry smiled down at her and replied. "This is just the hall leading down to it. Be thankful that we do not have to go that deep." he shuddered at the thought of the Basilisk that had lived down there.
"Well, I say that you three have a test right now and your rest time is up don't you?" Drizzt voice said then, right next to Harry's ear.
Harry was on his feet and looking at Drizzt and Liriel as they both walked out of the hiding place next to where Harry was sitting a moment ago.
"Where did you two come from?" Hermione said from Harry's side, Ron getting up and standing on Harry's other side.
"We came from the door up there," Liriel said pointing up the tunnel leading back to the girl's bathroom.
"And as I said, you have a test and your rest time is up now GET!" Drizzt yelled the last word at them and Harry with Hermione and Ron behind him were out the door and back into the school within a heart beat.
"Do you think that was a bit hard on them Drizzt?" Liriel said after watching Harry and his friends run out of the bathroom and back into the fight.
"No, they had their rest and now it is time for the best of the best to face off." Drizzt replied leading her down the hall and to the main floor and the great hall.
It was an hour later that Drizzt's voice rang out around the school thanks to Dumbledore. "All students that are left in this test are to report to the great hall for the rest of this match."
Harry and Hermione both looked at each other. Ron had been taken out by a Hufflepuff attack led by Neville, who like the rest of his team Harry and Hermione had take out after the ambush had started. Harry and Hermione had fought back to back for the whole fight.
"Well, lets get there and see who else is still kicking, my love." Hermione said to Harry as they started to walk down the hall of the seventh floor.
Harry and Hermione walked in to the Great hall to see Malfoy with a seventh year Slytherin girl who, unlike the other girl's from the house, was quite good looking with long black hair and deep blue eyes. Her figure was filled out in all the right places. On the other side of the wall were Cho and Luna waiting for Drizzt to get to them now that Harry and Hermione had shown up.
"Ah, I see that the six of you are here. Now the last part is a tournament style and the first match is Hermione VS. Catherine." The Slytherin girl got up off the wall and walked out to the mat that Drizzt had put out for this. "Same rules as out in the hall, but you may not go outside the mats. Now lets get this started."
Hermione looked at the mats to see a 16' circle. In the middle of the mat Catherine had already stepped into the ring with her long sword at the ready. Hermione walked in not long after looking at the mat.
The two faced off then advanced on each other, Catherine leading her attack with the point of her sword and Hermione's staff coming around to hit it out of the way and then attack Catherine.
The two kept on fighting like this for 20 minuets before Catherine managed to get her sword through Hermione's defences, hitting her in the chest and out of the ring. "Winner Catherine Emrys! Now it will be Harry VS. Cho." Drizzt called out as Catherine helped Hermione out of the ring with glares from her fellow Slytherin at helping a Gryffindor.
Catherine handed Hermione over to Harry with a smile. "I did try to pull the blow so she should be fine in a little while. I hope to see you in the last match." Her voice was soft and gentle to hear.
Harry nodded to her and placed Hermione on a chair next to him then he walked into the ring to see Cho ready and waiting for him. "So Harry. Shall we finish what we started at the being of this?"
"Let's and then I can go on to face Malfoy and win this." Harry replied to her.
"You have to beat me first, lover boy." Cho said throwing her hip out to show off her figure and flashed her eyelashes trying to distract Harry.
Harry laughed at Cho's attempt to flirt with him. "Cho, look at Liriel and Hermione." Cho did so and saw them both looking back at her, their hips resting much like hers was now, Hermione still managing to do it even in her chair. "Now you know that I can not be flirted with, or at least not with my girlfriend here or my older sister, so lets get started."
Liriel smiled at what Harry called her and thought 'I always wanted a little brother'.
Cho nodded her, rapier out and ready. Harry had both long sword and dagger out and ready as well as the two of them attacked each other at the same time.
Everyone watched as Harry and Cho moved as fast as they could, trying to open the others defensive moves. The match lasted 30 minutes before Harry had his sword resting on Cho's neck and his dagger blade on her hips, her rapier lying on the floor next to her. "Winner Harry! Next is Luna Lovegood VS. Draco Malfoy."
Harry walked off the mat and over to Hermione and Liriel.
"So Harry, am I your new sister? Well I always wanted a little brother and I can think of no one better for a sibling, so I will allow you to keep calling me that. But not in class." Liriel said when Harry got to them and pulled up a chair to watch Draco with his Katana and Luna with her short sword fighting on the mat.
The match went to Draco when he pulled his dagger from under his robes and hit Luna in the side, ending it.
Drizzt got up then and walked into the middle of the mat. "Now we have a problem. You see we have three finalists, Harry Potter, Catherine Emrys, and Draco Malfoy. So here is the solution. All three of you will fight at the same time." He looked at Draco who was breathing faster than normal. "In ten minutes the match will start." he walked off the mat then and over to Harry and Liriel.
"Well, little brother, this will be good. You VS two Slytherins. I think I will go see if there is a betting pool at the moment." Liriel said, walking away from Harry and the others to where most of the Professors were gathered.
Harry nodded to her then looked over to Catherine who was trying to get away from Malfoy who, by the looks of it, was trying to tell her what to do against Harry.
Catherine in the end just walked away from him and over to Harry and took the chair Liriel was sitting in a little while ago. "That bar... that thing wants me to fight you with him and then for me to give the match to him. Well, I say he is all your's and then I will fight you after you have a breather. Sound fair?" she said to Harry.
Harry nodded and got up when Drizzt walked into the ring again. "The last match and for added incentive, the winner will be known as the best in Hogwarts for this year. Now, Lady and Gentleman take up the ring and may the best person win."
After Drizzt walked out of the ring Harry, with Catherine and Draco, all walked in at the same time but Catherine just sat down and watched as Harry and Draco went at each other's throats.
Draco attacked with both his Katana and dagger at the same time while Harry was fighting with his trademark long sword, dagger combo. "So Malfoy. How did you get to the top 6 students? Hide after meeting me or take out all the people that you could by ambushing them?"
Draco just kept fighting and he started to look angry at Harry's comments to him about his fighting style.
The match ended when Harry was suddenly on the other side of Draco, his sword and dagger held out as far out as his arms could stretch and Malfoy was laying on the floor with two bruises forming on his cheeks.
One of the Professors cast the levitation charm to get Draco out of the ring as Harry and Catherine faced off. Catherine was waiting for Harry to catch his breath while stretching her arm's and legs for this match.
Harry took off his robes to show the jeans and shirt he was wearing underneath and got into a combat crouch ready for Catherine's attack while thinking to Hermione. 'I think that she would be a good addition to the Hunter's, don't you, my love?'
'Yes, I think so too, but for now just try to beat her. Ten gold says you win for me and Liriel bet against Snape and some of the other teachers.' Hermione replied to Harry as he and Catherine started the match.
Drizzt watched them then looking at Liriel asked, "What are the odds?"
"50/50 at the moment but my money is on my little brother. You?" she replied a small smile on her face.
"I am the teacher, I can not place any bets because that would be favouritism." leaning closer he said in a low voice while handing her some gold "Ten on Harry to win."
Liriel nodded and walked over to Dumbledore who was keeping the books on the matches.
Harry and Catherine were still fighting half an hour later, with the Gryffindor's shouting out Harry and Catherine's name in equal measure as was the other Houses accept for the Slytherin's because they thought that Catherine was not a true Slytherin at heart.
"You know Harry, you are quite good. How did you get this good this fast?" Catherine said while dodging one of Harry's attacks.
"I can ask you the same thing but I think that we are just naturals at this." He replied as he too dodged an attack by Catherine.
Five minuets later found Catherine's sword on Harry's neck and Harry's on her neck as well. "I say a draw don't you Dumbledore?" Drizzt said, as the two just looked at each other, weapons still on each other's throat.
Dumbledore nodded and started to return the money to the people who had placed bets while Hermione run up to Harry as he and Catherine collapsed onto the mat from exhaustion after the test.
"Harry, are you alright and you Catherine how are you?" She asked while helping Harry to his feet to shake hands with Catherine, who was also getting up after catching her breath.
"I will be fine and that was a good match Harry. We have to do that again some time." Catherine said after shaking hands with Harry, then started to leave the great hall for the Slytherin's common room.
Drizzt walked over then. "That is all for this year people, so off to bed with you for I know that some of you still have O.W.L's tomorrow and others have N.E.W.T's as will. Good night to you all." On that Drizzt vanished into a cloud of blue smoke with Liriel walking off not long after him, mumbling about being a show off as the other students and Professors wandered off.
Ron walked over to Harry then and gives him a hand up to the common room and wishes a good night's sleep for tomorrows test.
