The-Boy-Who-Lived-Again…

Chapter 28

Harry manipulated Lucius Malfoy like A puppeteer would his best puppet. With ease and grace, Harry levitated Macnair twenty feet in the air and dropped him on top of Rabastan Lestrange. Harry stunned Bellatrix and launched Nott through a solid brick wall.

Just as the Death Eaters were realizing who was behind the spells, Harry removed his presence from Lucius's body. Harry grinned wildly in spirit form as Lucius was hit by seven different crucitatius curses at the same time. However, in the confusion Peter Pettigrew vanished. Harry cursed and went back to Hogwarts to brush Sirius up on the state of the battle.

With Remus

'This is still too easy' Remus thought. 'The giants aren't even trying to fight us. What on earth is Peter up to?'

He glared in the general direction of the Death Eaters. The way he saw it, neither side had taken any casualties. Sure two giants went down, but both were still alive. It was if Peter was toying with them… And then he saw… It was a sight that chilled him to the bone. It made him want to drop his wand and cry. And it was all Peter Pettigrew's fault.

With Harry

"So that's the state of things is it?" Sirius asked.

"Pretty much." Harry replied. "Only two casualties. Both of them giants. There might be a few dead Death Eaters as well, depending on if Nott survived his trip through that wall and if the other Death Eaters killed Lucius. It's been relatively uninteresting so far. I think that Voldemort hasn't brought in his trump card yet."

"I see." Sirius responded. "By the way, good job with the Lucius thing."

"Thanks."

"So…" Sirius continued. "Why don't you go tell Dumbledore what's up, and I'll go outside and jog a few laps around the castle. I must say, all this work is tiring me out. But If I keep it up I'll be back to my usual self in no time."

Harry nodded his agreement and walked out in the direction of Professor Dumbledore's office.

With Voldemort

"My lord!" Bellatrix Lestrange called, apparating into the room and instantly dropping to one knee.

"Yessssss?" Voldemort asked.

"Everything is going according to plan my lord. Lucius turned traitor, and we regretfully inform you that he was disciplined and then executed. Other than that, all is well. Wormtail informs us that we will start phase three of the plan in ten minutes." Bellatrix said in one breath.

"Of Courssssssse. You may go." Voldemort hissed.

"Thank you my lord." Bellatrix said, before apparating back to Diagon alley.

Voldemort grinned. For a split second, he looked almost human.

With Sirius

Sirius jogged through the halls of the castle and found himself on the front lawn. He was already out of breath. In fact, he was so tired he felt like sleeping for about a century. But he couldn't. He had to get back into shape so he could help the Order. Even though sweat was pouring off of him by the cup full, he still jogged around the building, even to the point where his lungs felt like they would explode. After a painful and tiring three laps around the castle, Sirius went back inside for a quick shower.

With Harry

"Goobers." Harry said to the Gargoyle.

"MMM. Yummy." Replied the gargoyle as it stepped aside.

Harry walked up the staircase and into Dumbledore's quarters.

"Headmaster?" Harry called.

No reply.

"HEADMASTER?" Harry called a little louder.

Still no answer.

"HEADMASTER!!!" He yelled.

Nothing.

Harry ran through the rooms and looked everywhere. There was no sign of the headmaster. But it was in Dumbledore's office that Harry got his real scare. There was a small trail of blood leading from Dumbledore's desk to the fireplace. Harry's eyes widened with Horror as he dove for the floo pot.

"DIAGON ALLEY!" Harry yelled, throwing the powder into the fire.

Harry vanished in a flash of green flame.
