Chapter 2- The Duel Downstairs
As Harry and Lupin glared at the hooded figures, Lupin decided to drop his robes to reveal a holster for his wand. "Harry," Lupin said as he drew his magical rod from its resting spot, "I give you permission to use any spell that may pop into your head." Then with the permission from Lupin Harry followed suit, drawing his magic wand from his back pocket. Then raising his wand to the ready position one of the three Death Eaters finally spoke.
"I look forward to killing you, Harry Potter" A familiar voice murmured, and after taking the voice in he realized that the person hidden behind the cloak of black was Luscious Malfoy. The man then reached inside his robe snatching his own wand from a concealed pocket within it. Unfortunately for Lupin had sent a bolt of green light directly towards Malfoy, before he was ready to defend anything, hitting him squarely in the face.
"Ah… What a simple spell." Malfoy said as he wiped a drip of blood that had emerged from the area where Lupin's previous spell had hit. "Let me show what a true spell is", and with that a bolt emerged from Malfoy's wand. Lupin quickly jumped out of the way though, barely evading the spell which had merely grazed Lupin's cheeks. Then out of nowhere another spell was directed towards Harry, but Harry was too swift for the spell and with a simple incantation he summoned up a defensive charm sending the spell towards its creator hitting him right in the stomach. The man then buckled up, stiffening, and dropped to the floor in a mere second. He then directed his attention to the second assailant, and silently sent a disarming charm towards him.
Harry had chosen the right time to send this charm off, seeing as the second fighter was distracted while trying to evade the blasts that Lupin was sending off in all directions. Harry's spell hit the second death eater dead on, sending his wand out of his hands and into Harry's. Harry then muttered "Petrificus Totalus", and sent a blast from his wand and hitting the defenseless man, sending him to the floor.
"Look at that Malfoy two of your friends are already defenseless and unarmed, and how long have we been fighting? A few minutes if I am not mistaken" Harry joked as he directed his attention to the now hoodless Death Eater. He then thought to himself of one of the best spells he could think of, and at once he knew it. A leg locker spell would be a sufficient spell for this situation, and at once another bolt of green shot from his wand soaring straight for the middle aged man. It seemed like it was going to hit him, but Malfoy swiftly jumped out of the way, and while doing so sent a spell towards Harry narrowly missing him and instead hitting a family portrait of the Dursley's instead.
"Didn't like that picture either" Harry said as he quickly sent another spell towards the remaining Death Eater. This time the spell did not miss its target, and it hit Lucious sending his legs next to each other. "Ah… Seems like your in a tight situation doesn't it Malfoy? Well Professor, would you like to do the honors?" Harry asked as he turned to face Lupin
"I would appreciate it if you would not call me professor anymore, seeing as I am not your teacher anymore. Oh and I would be glad to take the honors," and with that Lupin raised his wand sending a bolt of scarlet red directly towards Lupin. Seeing as he had no where to go, the spell hit Malfoy sending him to the wall knocking him unconscious.
"Ah well it seems like we have successfully taken care of three Death Eaters, or should I say that you successfully took care of three Death Eaters. I am very proud of you Harry" Lupin said as he stepped forward to bind all of the men together with invisible ropes.
"Oh please, I could not have taken care of them without you" Harry retorted as he moved forward to assist Lupin.
"Well I believe that you could have, but for now let us drop the subject and leave before backup arrives. We shall take these three with us first to the Ministry to drop them off. I have a feeling that there will be a cell waiting them at Azkaban," and with that Lupin grabbed his robes, and rummaged through one of the pockets with in it trying to find his Flu Powder. Then he drew it from his pocket and handed a handful of dust to Harry. Then with that he dropped the powder into the fire place and at once the flames changed from a scarlet red flame, to emerald green flames. Harry then entered the flames and shouted "To the Ministry of Magic," and at once he was off.
