Harry Potter and the Elements of Surprise
Chapter 3: Only the Beginning
Curses and jinxes were whizzing every where. Harry could feel them fly by his face and upper body. Without realizing it, he dodged every one sent his way, although his thoughts never strayed from the task at hand. Defending his people and Hogwarts.
Throughout the fight more Elements kept joining the fight. There were elves, vampires and even muggles!
"Oi! Harry! How you doing mate?" Ron asked, moving to fight back to back with him. Both boys had taken many down, but only Harry had killed.
"Pretty good Ron. How you holding out? Numo Care Deus!" Harry said, his spell in some kind of mixed language, Elfish, Latin and a bit of Vampirish.
With Harry's spell the man beside Ron was killed. Decapitated.
"Bloody hell man! Not so bloody close next time! Please!" Ron cried, startled
Not only was there a beheaded man laying less than a meter away but it had also been his best friend who had killed him! The same best friend who'd once been a small, short, scared eleven year old with way too big clothes!
But Harry had changed. He was…colder in a way. He killed without mercy…or even a second thought. And yet, through the entire fight he didn't let any of his Elementals fall. If one were hurt he'd cover them until a healer came for them.
And that was another thing! The Elementals had everything! Muggles, elves, people who could bring corpses alive (A/N not back to life… ALIVE like zombies), healers, elemental controllers, and even spies! Ron was hugely surprised to when he saw at least eight of Voldemort's "followers" come to the light side, Draco Malfoy among them.
"Sorry mate but this is war! They'll kill you if they get the chance. So we don't give it to them!" Harry explained, a hint of the "old him" showing through slightly.
"Alright Harry, stupefy! Expelliarmus! Just please, don't do that again!" Ron said, only half-joking as they continued to fight.
"Okay. Infernos blaze!" Harry responded, setting 3 Death Eaters on fire. But it's not like they didn't deserve it! They'd just killed 2 5th year Hufflepuffs!
"Scorcio nor!" An Elemental had appeared out of no where and saved Ron's life. He'd sent an arrow of fire at the Death Eater's heart.
"Hey Julius! Good fight?" Harry asked amiably. It didn't seem to matter to either Elemental that they were in the middle of a war, they could still chitchat!
"It's going pretty good Pawstrike! I've taken down 37 but Dee's got 40! Whoops! Got to burn!" Julius replied before disappearing without a trace.
"Who was that?" Ron asked, taking down more Death Eaters with an advanced stupefy curse.
"My Cousin Dee's husband. Cousin-in-law, I guess," Harry replied before summoning a sword in front of him.
It was a magnificent sword with around 6 small gems embedded in the hilt. Engraved into the blade were the words "Pawstrike Potter".
"Whoa! What a beauty! Expelliarmus!" Ron said, not forgetting his job but still admiring the sword.
"Yea, she sure is! Now, Ron, I want you to go protect 'Mione. I don't think you're going to like the destruction of Pawstrike Potter." Harry said, although, his tone was that of one expected to be obeyed. Which, Ron did. Obey that is. He left Harry with a murmured "good luck" and didn't look back.
"Alright, time to take out the trash."
!!!
"Infernowing, are you alright Milady" the Shadow member, Rose, asked.
Ginny (or Infernowing) was pale and shaky. Ginny was Rose's top priority at the moment. Until told otherwise she wasn't going to leave her Lady's side.
"Yes, Rose. I'm just a little worried about Harry. And don't call me "Lady"! I'm not superior in any way! We did train together Blacknight!" Ginny scolded "Blacknight"(Rose) gently. She didn't like anyone calling her "Lady". She just didn't feel right about it!
"Don't worry, Lady. Pawstrike can take care of himself just fine! And I must call you Lady and Pawstrike Lord. It shows my respect. It does not matter that we trained together. You, Lord Pawstrike and Lord Swiftooth are our greatest warriors. We all respect you and therefor title you." Rose explained calmly.
"I realize that Rose, but I really wish you wouldn't. It doesn't feel right, no matter the magic level difference. I'm sure that if this war were more personal to you, you could reach our level of magic." Ginny replied.
"Lady it is personal for me! It's personal for my lords and lady, therefor it's personal to me too!" Rose said. You could see the flare that lit up her blue eyes and the eerie look it gave her black hair.
"Maybe, rose, but you weren't one of the "originals". You were recruited. Rose, you didn't see or feel the terrors we had at his hand. My niece, Vita-Marie, was almost killed last June. They tortured and beat her for days. And she still had 4 months until she turned 3."
"And two days after I was kidnapped, a young girl, 10 at most, was beaten, raped and then killed. Right in front of my eyes. They didn't want me to resist them so they made me watch. I didn't resist after that, I was too scared."
"But now I have a child. I don't want Lia to grow up the way Harry did! And neither does he! We want Lia to grow up with both her parents! So, you see Rose, this war is very personal for my family."
!!!
"Well, well. If it isn't Peter "the rat" Pettigrew!" Harry said with a malicious smirk.
He had Pawstrike gripped tightly in his hand. Peter wouldn't get away this time!
"Ooh! It's widdle baby Potter!" Peter laughed loudly, "come for revenge? I don't see why! I only rid the world of a Mudblood, and egotistical prick and an idiotic mutt!"
"By order of Lord Pawstrike of the Elementals you are hereby sentenced to death. Any final words Oilytail?" Harry asked mockingly, his sward arm tensing.
"Yeah, all three were useless. They were no-good, lousy-" Pettigrew never got to finish.
"Don't speak ill of your betters, Pettigrew," Harry said.
He spat at the headless corpse before turning to rejoin the battle.
!!!
"Ron. Move!" an Elemental commanded. As soon as Ron moved, 5 Death Eaters burst into flames.
"How do you know my name? Who are you?" Ron asked, as he took down a Death Eater heading for Hermione. He was standing a few meters away but was always keeping an eye out for her.
"I know you because Harry speaks of you so much. Besides, he said you look like Mike! As for who I am, I'm Diana. Diana Dursley-Daniels, Harry's favourite cousin! But everyone calls me Dee" Diana explained, lighting every Death Eater she could on fire.
"Oh, I see! Scorcio! Stupefy!" Ron replied, still defending himself and Hermione, "A pleasure ma'am."
"Ma'am?" Diana scoffed," Puh-leese! None of this "ma'am" business! It's Dee, Dia or Diana. I'm not 40! I'm only 22,thanks much!"
"Sorry ma-I mean Diana," Ron apologized. He grew up saying "sir" and "ma'am" so it was automatic reaction!
"It's okay kid. Just don't do it again!" Diana mock-scolded. This kid's kind of cool. She thought.
"Kid am I? Then you must be an old 'un!" Ron joked. It was easy to talk to Diana, even in the middle of this battle.
"I may be old, but I got skill!" was Diana's retort. She was having fun with kidding around with Ron. It was no wonder Harry liked this guy so much!
"That's right Dee! Now let's put that skill to good use!" Ron said, suddenly serious, "Let's get rid of these terrorist wannabes!"
!!!
"Riddle! Leave her! It's me you want, so let's go!" Harry roared at Voldemort. Voldemort had a 7th year Ravenclaw under the Crutacious curse.
"Ooh, I'm real scared of you Potter!" Riddle taunted, his red eyes gleaming in his pale, snakelike face.
"Are you scared, Tom? Chicken?" Harry taunted back.
His job was to protect the innocent. That's what he was attempting to do now.
Riddle fell for Harry's childish taunting. He let the 7th year go and went for Harry. His eyes burned with the need for revenge.
"I am no chicken, Potter. I will face you now. But, before I kill you, I give you one last chance. Join me, Potter, and I will spare you." Voldemort "offered".
"Riddle, my people are winning. Even if you do kill me, they will win. My blood lives on through my daughter. If I die, she will come for you. So, no Tom, I'd rather die than join you!" Harry hissed in reply.
"That could be arranged Potter! Avada Kademvra!" Voldemort hissed venomously, using the advanced killing curse.
"Cairo Norona!" Harry said, using an elfish-vamprish mixed spell.
Voldemort's spell didn't even put a dent in Harry's shield. The curse smacked of the shield and rebounded at Voldemort, narrowly missing the snakelike man.
"I'm not as defenseless as I used to be Tom. I won't let you take down me or my family!" Harry said, his emerald eyes starting to glow slightly, "Tom Marvelo Riddle, by order of Lord Pawstrike, Lady Infernowing and Lord Swiftooth of the Elementals, you are hereby sentenced to death. Any last words, Riddle?"
"You don't scare me Potter! You're a weakling, you could never kill me! But I can kill you!" Voldemort said, drawing a sword with his skull and serpent symbol on it.
"If it's a sword fight you want, than let's go," Harry said, drawing Pawstrike.
Voldemort attacked first, lunging at Harry. The swords flew in a furry of metal, clashing and slashing, as their wielders fought in a dance of death.
Suddenly Voldemort messed up. His sword slipped and Pawstrike lashed in, creating a large gash in Voldemort's side.
"Avena Numera! Zorian!" Voldemort shrieked, lunging at Harry, combining his sword and wand-less magic spells.
"Noyana forlan!" Harry replied, the wind coming in to help block Voldemort's double attack, "Syaw lasa aiwl liw thgi leht. Emoc sahe mitr ouyk rad fod lor!"
Voldemort screamed in pain and anger. His body lit up in anger and a tornado of air swirled around him. Within moments his body was nothing more than a pile of ashes. And the wind took great care to scatter the ashes quickly and separately.
"I'm finally free…" Harry murmured softly in amazement. The Voldemort threat was gone. But…why didn't it feel like it?"
"Think again Potter." Came a dark menacing voice.
Out of the shadows stepped the body that accompanied the voice. The man looked to be in his late 20's, early 30's. He was tall, 6"5 at least. His face was pale and scarred, his eyes the same red as Voldemort's had been. This man was different than Voldemort though. This man was more dangerous, more powerful.
"Who're you?" Harry demanded, tensing immediately. This man had a "dark" air about him. Besides, he was too much like Voldemort for Harry's liking.
"Me? I am your worst nightmare. I am the real Dark Lord. Lord Daemon, your killer!" the man, Daemon, responded with an evil smirk.
"I don't think so Daemon. I'm not a defenseless child, I know how to take care of myself! You don't scare me!" Harry lied.
"Enough games!" Daemon snapped, "Soraina!"
Harry jerked in surprise and pain as the curse hit him. It felt like the Crutacious curse times fifteen. But although it caught him off guard, Harry didn't cry out. He was used to pain.
"I'm stronger than you think Daemon. I've taken more pain then you can imagine. Daisa!" Harry said, as soon as the curse was lifted. The Daisa curse made it feel like someone was sitting on both sides of your head at the same time.
"Lorian!" Daemon snapped, gritting his teeth. The Lorian curse was like the Daisa curse but used your whole body as a target.
"Karia!" Harry hissed the counter curse, "Daemon, don't be foolish, give it up!"
"Never Potter," Daemon hissed venomously, "Arcien. Quakus! Normia!"
Harry almost cried out in pain as the Arcien curse hit him. It felt like he was being repeatedly hit on the head with giant boulders. But, he actually didcry out as the Quakus curse took affect. It made the ground around him give way and the Normia curse pushed him down so he was pulled down into the crack in the Earth.
"Harry!" Ginny screamed.
The rest of the fight was over but no one had been able to find Harry. But then all the uninjured and non-healers had gone out to search for him. Ginny had arrived just in time to see Harry fall down into the abyss.
Ginny and Mike (who'd also seen Harry fall) rushed towards the crack. Neither of them seemed to notice Daemon.
"It's no use. He's gone now. There's nothing you can do, blood traitors," Daemon laughed harshly.
"Who are you? Did you do this to my brother?" Mike demanded, his brown eyes lighting up with malice.
"Like I told your brother, I am Daemon, the real Dark Lord! And yes, I did do that to your worthless excuse for a brother." Daemon sneered, his eyes gleeful, "He is no more and your world is doomed."
"I…wouldn't be…so sure," gasped out a hoarse and pain filled voice.
Pulling himself out of the pit was Harry. His face and hands were covered in cuts and he had a huge bleeding cut stretching from his left temple to his chin, going just under his left eye and across his lips.
"Back for more, you useless waste of magic? Don't bother, we already know I can beat you!" Daemon sneered pompously.
Mike didn't wait for Harry's response, instead he sent rocks and soil flying at Daemon. At the same time a fire started around Daemon, the flames reaching out at him, courtesy of Ginny. Quickly Harry made a tornado to join the other's forces, causing the other's attacks to become more ferocious.
"You've beaten me this time blood traitors, but you won't always be together!" Daemon snapped before apparating away through the broken wards.
"Darling, are you alright?" Ginny asked anxiously as Harry fell heavily to the ground.
"He shall be fine Phoenix," came a female voice from behind them.
Standing behind them was a lady dressed all in white. She had a hooded cloak, but the hood was down, revealing waist-length blonde hair and brilliant sky blue eyes.
"Who…who are…you?" Harry demanded, attempting to shield his brother and wife.
He's so brave, Ginny thought, trying to protect us, even now.
"You need not fear me, young Griffin. I am Eleanora of the Old Race. But this shall all be explained to you later. The two of you must come with me," The lady, Eleanora. Said of Ginny and Harry.
"What do you mean? We've only just come back! Our family is here! We can't leave them! We can't leave our daughter!" Ginny cried in outrage, "Besides, Harry's injured! He can't travel!"
"You don't understand. Young Phoenix! We must leave! It is Fate who has decided this. The Elders said you may bring your daughter, but no one else. Now come, we must hurry. This is all for y our safety!" Eleanora explained her tone urgent.
"But…Lilia, she's still in the castle!" Ginny cried in fright. She didn't like the idea of leaving her baby behind.
"Then I will bring her here," Eleanora said, before closing her eyes in concentration. Her body gave off a soft blue light. There was a low hum and then a "pop" and cradled in Eleanora's arms was Lilia.
"Come, we must go now." Eleanora said, levitating Harry with a soft blue light.
"Wait! What…about my…people?" Harry gasped out, struggling against the spell.
"Don't worry Pawstrike. I'll take care of them until you get back. I promise." Mike said, bowing low to Harry, "We'll not forget you my brother."
"Take…care…of…them all," Harry croaked out, reaching for his brother's hand, "I…love you…little bro."
"I love you too Harry," Mike whispered.
Then with a feeble wave from Harry and a bright blue light the 4 were gone.
