"Okay, if you have backup... WORMTAIL!"
"Coming, Master."
Wormtail stepped into view around the corner.
"Oh, puh-leeze. That's your backup?" Chris said, one eyebrow raising up.
"Yes..." Voldemort said. "Are you challenging it?"
"Oh heck yes I am!" Kenzie said.
"Kenzie! What are you getting me into?" Chris asked.
"Nothing! This guy's lllllllame!"
"Okay..."
"My dad fought him and beat him by a mile. How hard can he be?" Kenzie said, putting an arm around his shoulders.
"Oh, so the backup is also the boyfriend?" Voldemort said.
"HEY!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Ohhhh! No, Master, the boy looks powerful..." Wormtail said.
Chris was standing beside Kenzie, getting angrier by the second. He looked about to kill Voldemort.
Hearing a hissing sound, Kenzie turned around. She shut her eyes as fast as was possible and spun back around.
"Chris- don't- move- a- muscle," she said through gritted teeth.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Kenzie and Chris screamed, wheeling around. A gigantic flash of green light came and the monstrous body of the basilisk fell to the ground.
"The Killing Curse? But- but- but they're first years!" Voldemort said.
Wormtail was scared out of his mind of Chris now.
"No, Master, please-"
"You will fight the boy," he hissed. "Now GO!"
Chris and Wormtail took their places.
"Cr- cr- cr- crucio?" Wormtail said. His rather sad spell fell to the ground five feet from Chris.
"CRUCIO!" Chris yelled, hitting Wormtail square in the chest. Wormtail fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
