Chapter 4: Battle
19th august, 1:35am Azkaban
It was a dark night; the full moon had been five days ago, it was raining heavily and an odd, almost like it was sentient thunderstorm was going on. It struck around the battle, not wounding people but also making it so that neither side could go too far from the castle.
The battle had been going on for a little over half an hour, the battle was fierce,
Voldemort was yet to enter the battle, preferring to just overlook it.
The battle was in favor for the dark side, the order was loosing, for every dead eater they stunned two would take his place and he would be revived soon after., all the order members had to battle two enemies at once, Dumbledore even battled 5 death eaters at once. Both sides knew that the dark side was winning, but the order couldn't give up, they couldn't escape because of the wards, so their only hope was in battle.
19th august, 2:04am
It had taken a few hours, but finally the battle was over, the order had lost, many of the order had died, and only the main group and a few others were alive (Dumbledore, McGonnegal, Sirius, Remus, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Snape, Ron, Hermione …)
"Snape I'm disappointed in you, you showed such potential, yet you waste it all, for what?" Voldemort said
"I've made mistakes, chosen wrong, but I'm sure about this choice" Snape said
"It's a shame, but I guess I'll need a new potion master in that case" Voldemort replied
"Now my faithful lets free my other minions and see what Potter thinks of joining our side now! Voldemort commanded
"Don't lie to us, we all know POTTER joined you a year ago!" Ron sneered
"Potter did no such thing, it was Wormtail who Avada Kedavra, what was his name….
I think it was Cedric…imagine my shock when I found out you put your SAVIOR in Azkaban , without even giving him a fair trial….even I'M not that cruel; sure I may torture my followers for a minute or so with the crucio but reliving his worst fears for over a year?" Voldemort said all this, with something akin to pity in his voice.
This was followed by shouts of disbelief, how could this be they thought, he was an innocent 15 year old boy, who had helped them all and they sent him to hell without even giving him a chance!
Many looked close to tears and some were even throwing up in disgust with themselves.
Then they heard a cold, ice cold voice saying "nice speech, been rehearsing it?"
"Ah Potter, I see my death eaters have freed everybody and that that you decided to join us? Voldemort said
At the mention of the name Potter everybody of the order turned their eyes around and were shocked at what they saw, they saw a small boy, 5 foot 5 inch, reasonable big muscles, but not too big, he wore shabby (even more so then Remus when he hasn't had a job for half a year) black prisoner robes, but what shocked them the most was his hair and eyes, his eyes, which were once a vibrant green were now a dull green, whit a hard edge,
his hair which was once unruly and black like his fathers, was now black, with many streaks of silver in it. His hair was also in a ponytail. Many people would have screamed in shock at seeing him like this if they hadn't been silenced with silencio maxima(makes it so that a group of people can't speak or can't speak above whispers, depending on the intent and the power put behind the spell)
"Well they did approach me, but they didn't free me" Harry said smirking.
"What do you mean, please elaborate?" Voldemort said.
"Well they were planning on freeing me first, said that if they hurried with the others they could have some 'fun' with me first, as soon as they approached my cell I silenced, stunned, bound them in rope and put them in the cell before anyone realized something odd was going on, good personnel is so hard to find these days…" Harry replied, grinning.
"You're telling me ? But, let's get to business, seeing as the light betrayed you,
what do you think about joining me? Even I'M (here he sneered to the order) not so cruel as to put innocents behind bars with their worst fears (for so long).
"If the light side had betrayed me, I wouldn't be here, they (here he sneered at the order) are just defenders against the dark, but they are not the light." Harry said.
"In fact, they are more like terrorists, manipulating and blackmailing people to help them and get things done, using illegal means to accomplish their goals and gain information. Harry continued.
Although the order couldn't move, they all looked like they had been slapped, HARD at this.
"So I take it you won't join it? " He said in an almost disappointed voice.
"I won't just not join you; I will destroy you, not for the order, not for the people of Britain, but for all those who suffered under you, for my parents, for Cedric, for all the people who had to grow up without their parents!" Harry said.
"It's a shame I'll have to kill you, with the right rituals and training you could have been my heir…" Voldemort said "Let's battle!" He said
The words were still in the air or a bright golden dome surrounded both him and Harry,
and Harry got in a fighting stance, everybody was stunned by this, Harry was still standing still, waiting for Voldemort to make the first move.
After a while the death eaters started trying to take the golden dome down, but every time they shot a spell at the golden dome it would just fizzle out, slide down the dome into the ground or rebound, after five death eaters had been hit by their own crucio and so had gone insane, because they couldn't stop the spell and three people had died because of rebounded Avada Kedrava's they gave up.
"What is this, what have you done!" Voldemort demanded.
At this, Harry just smirked.
"So you won't answer me? If it can't be broken, I'll just have to kill the energy source, you! At this he shouted 'AVADA KEDAVRA!'
Harry calmly saw it travel to him, when it was about half a meter away from him, he just swatted it away, Voldemort was barely able to avoid his own spell, and it went through the golden shield, and hit one of the death eaters who had been struggling to get back up after getting hit by his own spell.
Now, Voldemort was afraid, for the first time in many years he was very, truly scared. Yes, he was wary of battling Dumbledore, but this boy, had just swatted away a spell, without his wand or advanced training away without an effort like it was a feeble Stupefy!
"Now where is your battle spirit, trying to one hit kill me? I would have expected better sportsmanship of you, I would have expected it of Lucius or Pettigrew, but I would have expected some honor from you." Harry said, with a smile that seemed somehow threatening.
"Now let's duel, everything goes, but I'd be careful if I were you, because your spells pass through or reflect on the dome, and it would be boring if you'd be killed by your own spell, now wouldn't it?" Harry said.
Voldemort seemed to think about this and seemed to come to a conclusion.
Then Voldemort cast Tarantallegra which Harry just sidestepped.
Voldemort tried a new approach at that moment, he cast the Impediment Jinx
followed by the Deletrius curse and the Reductor Curse as response Harry just cast a simple Protego charm, which stopped all the curses, like they were simple stupefy's, by
now everybody was staring at this amazing display of power, amazed that one so young could control so much power, even after being surrounded by dementors for so long and for the first time since they sword their loyalty to the dark lord they asked themselves if they had made the right choice.
Voldemort was getting very nervous by now, none of his spells seemed to have effect, Potter didn't even have to put a struggle to block all the spells, his control over his magical powers was amazing.
Voldemort decided that if he wasn't going to leave this Island alive, then nobody was, so he summoned on all his remaining energy, and hoped that one of his faithful could maybe bring him back for a second time.
He screamed
Icendio, Avada Kedavra, and with all his power shouted Reducto Maxima Universus
(Think a mine explosion, do the range by 50 and you'd have something similar to what I mean).
Now for the first time Harry moved (something besides his arm), first he shot an Aqua Miriavi (big water ray) to douse the Icendio curse, then he ray forward at unimaginable speed and swatted away the Avada Kedavra curse which hit one of Azkaban's towers
which showered stone in the area and then everybody could feel Harry's magic just…move, and grab the last curse, first it seemed like nothing happened, but slowly they could see the curse dissolve until there was nothing left of the curse.
Now Voldemort knew he was finished, but he knew that if his spirit was to disappear, that all his followers would die with him, so at least that was a consolation for him.
Harry moved forward, and walked until he was standing before Voldemort, who was lying on the ground, almost knocked out by the magic he had used and of magic exhaustion.
"Finish … me….if you want to….I know it's over….for me…"Voldemort gasped.
"We all know you are finished, but I will not sink to your level and kill you with the Avada Kedavra curse, besides, then you would be able to come back, and it would be too good for you." Harry smirked
With that said, Harry began to gather a bundle of fire red magic in his hands, everybody could feel the light energy radiating from it, some would later even swear they saw a phoenix in the flames, the last thing that Voldemort ever saw, was a phoenix like ball of fire flying to him, hitting him, and unimaginable pain.
Everybody but Harry stared in shock as the ball of magic hit Voldemort, and started to burn him, there seemed to be baby phoenixes dancing over Voldemort picking him, scratching him, burning him.
Before their eyes he started to decompose, until there was nothing left of him, besides his robes and his spirit, everybody could see it there, dark, crackling with evil energy, trying to get free of the fire which was slowly consuming it, until there was bit a tiny spark of his essence left which was destroyed and exploded in a huge blast, when everybody could see again the only indication that Voldemort ever had been there was the huge crater in the ground and the rests of his wand, which was slowly rotting before their eyes, until only the phoenix feather was visible, dark from the amounts of dark magic channeled through it, then slowly, the feather seemed to become transparent and just….disappear.
At that moment several things happened at once, the golden dome fell, everybody from the order was freed from the curses and hexes and all the death eaters started to scream as one, and this had been Voldemort's last trick, if he fell forever, they would all fall with him, so nobody of them could take his place.
Everybody (besides Harry) stared at the death eaters as one by one, they rotted alive, until there was nothing left of them…one by one they disappeared, then, finally it was Snape's turn, he thought that it would hurt exceptionally, so he closed his eyes, when half a minute had passed and still nothing had happened he opened one eye and then both eyes in shock, he could see the dark aura, obviously of Voldemort's spell, but he could also see a blinding white aura, protecting him (at least for now) of the dark curse, it seemed to be judging him, and he thought who could posses such power that he could battle Voldemort's curse, he slowly moved his eyes and he saw Pot..No, Harry the boy was just radiating magic. With all his might he thought: Draco is a spy, Draco is a spy. Then he heard a voice say, he shall be saved too in that case.
Finally the light aura seemed to come to a decision because it started to move, he held his breath and saw how it moved, it started to consume the dark aura, destroying it, then the curse went on, he checked his arm and stared in amazement as he saw that there was no mark there, he checked five times to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him and than sprang in the air, laughing with joy.
Then Harry turned around and faced the order and said in an icy voice: and now for you lot…
I'm kind off disappointed I didn't get the reviews I asked with what you want to happen when Harry goes back to Hogwarts and has had some fun, if I don't get five reviews with this info, semi worked out (not like, sue Dumbledore, get a girlfriend, destroy the ministry and leave England) then I again won't post for a while
Some facts:
Harry's wand was snapped when he was expelled from Hogwarts, don't think I mentioned this, but its kind off obvious that if you're sentenced for murder of school staff that you are expelled too isn't it?
This will not be a Harry/Ginny fiction if any of you thought that, but I do have some nice ideas for her grins evilly
Harry can control magic as it is, so he can deflect curses and cast spells silently and without a wand if he so wants to.
You may wonder how he can be so strong magically and physically, well this is why, his mother and father were both strong wizards, he had to spend more then a year in a 4 on 3 meter cell, without any books, so he doesn't have much else to do to pass time now does he?
And food you may wonder? If I could do wandless magic and was hungry I would just conjure food.
I got the spells from http: and others I just thought up.
Yes he will be going back to Hogwarts, not by his own free will but… (Now I don't want to give too much of the plot line away do I?)
Now some questions: I Mostly have decided how the next chapters will go, but I'm still asking some things, to see what you'd like best, and some things I'm not sure about
What do you think everybody's reaction will be when they find out Harry's innocent?
What will everybody do?
What will Dumbledore do?
Do you want a pairing or not? Both have some nice possibility's, but if I do decide to get a pairing it'll be most likely not be an original character out of the books or it'll be a Slytherin (imagine when Ron finds out Harry has a Slytherin girlfriend?)
