Chapter Fifteen

The Siege of Hogwarts Part II

The Death Eaters charged through the forest, drunk on pride and victory. They had just defeated a giant freaking squid, legions of spear-wielding Mermaids, rows of arrow-wielding Centaurs, and a herd of Unicorns! They had every right to be happy! Until a flash of green light exploded between the trees and a jet of death flew between the trees and struck a random Death Eater straight in the face. The Death Eaters promtply froze, and another Death Eater was struck down. "Snipers!" called out the leader. Every Death Eater either ducked, rolled, or Disillusioned themselves. The silence in the forest was deafening. No one breathed. Until...

"Avada Kedavra!"

Five Killing Curses roared into the crowd of Death Eaters and hit five Death Eaters. The Death Eaters themselves were now infuriated that seven of their number had been cut down. The lead Death Eater made some motions with his hand and wand, and all of them pointed their wands at a random spot in the trees. The leader made another motion, and all of them cried out,

"Sorcicius Extortio!"

A ring of dark green light flowed out from around the Death Eaters and gently glided outwards. Unfortunately, any tree or object it came into contact with sliced it and then burst into flame. Soon, the forest was on fire and screams of pain came from the trees above. Bodies soon began to fall. "Put out the fires!" commanded the leader. Water began gushing in every direction, and soon the fire was out. They strode over to the masked wizards and ripped off their masks. The leader gasped in shock. Dark Order agents.

"AMBUSH!" roared the leader. Immediately, the Death Eaters all ducked, just as a huge amount of Killing Curses and Stunning Spells soared over their heads from the north. Standing in a clearing were fifty Dark Order agents, wands pointed at them and incanting another volley of Killing Curses. The Death Eaters hopped back up and fired Detonation Curses. Black beams quickly advanced on the Dark agents and they scattered, or yelled shields. The beams hit the shields and detonated, creating massive explosions. Bodies went flying, and the Death Eaters chucked their own volley of Killing Curses. The battle began anew.

"Avada Kedavra!" yelled one Death Eater. The Dark agent he was duelling rolled to avoid and hurled a Blasting Curse at him. "Protego Maximus!" shouted the Death Eater and the Blasting Curse dissipated against it. The Dark agent cursed colorfully and hurled the Killing Curse. "Shit!" swore the Death Eater and he ducked. The Killing Curse flew on unimpeded and hit a tree, destroying it. "Crucio!" chanted the Death Eater. He got a lucky break, and hit the Dark agent. He immediately fell to the ground, screaming and writhing in pain. The Death Eater smirked, and kept him under it, never noticing the Dark agent pointing his wand at him and muttering, "Avada Kedavra." Never noticed it, until, it hit him straight in the chest. The Death Eater was dead before he hit the ground.

The Dark agent shakily stood up, but promptly collapsed again as a passing Death Eater got him with the Killing Curse.

"Rally to me! TO ME!" screamed one Dark agent. The other agents flocked to him, and as one, they pointed their wands at the Death Eaters, who also formed ranks. It was a tense stand-off, until something neither side expected happened. With a deafening crack of Apparition, a tall figure appeared in the middle of the clearing. Instantly, all the Dark agents bowed. The tall figure made a motion and they quickly rose, now behind the figure.

"Sorry to disappoint you, boys, but you Death Eaters are not getting any closer. Not with me here," hissed the figure. With a swift motion, he lowered his hood. Unknown to the Death Eaters, the Dark Emperor Fear stood there, smirking viciously. He pointed his hand at them, and cried out, "AVALASKA NORAKIUS!" A huge black jet of shadows exploded out his wand and charged toward the Death Eaters. As one, they incanted the Optimal Shield into existence, encompassing them all. It was not needed. The split second that the dark spell had been cast, there was another crack of Apparition, and the Dark King Voldemort stood there. He smirked and fired a Killing Curse straight at the Shadow spell. The Killing Curse cleaved harmlessly through the spell and sped straight toward Fear. A flash of surprise appeared on his face, before he twirled his cloak and vanished. The Killing Curse struck a Dark agent, but kept on going. It cleaved straight through five more Dark agents before finally dissipating. The Dark agents stared in fear and horror. As one, Voldemort and his Death Eaters pointed their wands each at a Dark agent, and screamed out, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Every single Dark agent fell, dead. Fear stared in surprise and horror this time, and Disapparated with a crack. Voldemort turned to his Death Eaters and spoke.

"Well done, Death Eaters. You shall be rewarded for this great victory. Your part is over, for now. Stay here and be prepared for arriving Death Eaters." Murmurs of thanks and acknowledgement swept through the Death Eaters, and Voldemort Apparated away.
