Harry Potter and the God of Chaos
Chapter VI: Battle Magic
The rest of the day had passed without incident, which was surprising, and probably a record where Hogwarts was concerned. Mithos had spent the day going over his plans for his first lesson, which would be given that night, and every other night afterwards at the same time. At first everyone from third year and up would be attending, and if he wished and had the time he'd assist Bella in her Defense classes. It was almost time for the lesson, and everyone had assembled on the third floor, in the area where the Philosopher's Stone was previously held. Here goes Everything
BM Auditorium, Hogwarts…
"Welcome everyone to Battle Magic, a class in which you will learn how to use your magical capabilities in battle. This world is at war with the return of the self-proclaimed 'Dark Lord' Mister flying death guy, AKA Voldemort, AKA You-Know-Who, AKA He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, AKA He-Who's-Name-Must-Be-Hyphenated."
The majority of the assembled students flinched when Voldemort's name was mentioned, but burst out laughing the next second at Mithos' antics.
"Yes yes, I know, I'm good. But anyway, it is in this class that you will learn different ways to use your magic than just spells, along with alternate means of protecting yourself, and those around you from harm. Now, I would like to ask the entire Hogwarts teaching staff to join me on stage. And yes, that includes you Headmaster."
The group started mumbling amongst themselves in surprise and wonder. The teachers joined him down at the stage and stood behind him. He stepped to the side, facing them.
"Good, now, you will all face me, at once."
"You can't be serious."
"I assure you I am, and also that you shall be handled with the utmost efficiency."
Snape smiled at the chance to enact some revenge upon the boy.
"What are our rules?"
"The rules are…there are no rules."
NOW everyone started yelling. Luna herself paled at his words, while Christina looked on in confusion at the shock around her. She looked up at Luna, whom she was currently sitting with, and asked.
"Why is everyone yelling?"
"Because Mithos is about to do something extremely stupid…"
"Oh…"
Dumbledore looked at the 'child' in confusion. "Surely you must be joking."
"I am not female, so don't call me that, and no I am not joking. This is a no holds barred battle to the end. If you win, well…I'm screwed. But to make things even MORE interesting, I will do this without a wand, AND I cannot use any lethal force."
"Without a wand! Impossible!"
Snape took this opportunity.
"So you're saying everything goes?"
"Everything."
"Even the Unforgivables?"
"Do. Your. Worst."
The slimy man sneered and drew his wand. As did everyone else.
"When my wand falls, the battle starts. Ready?"
Nods.
The boy tossed his wand, and moved to the side as Dumbledore attacked first with a stunning spell.

Mithos dodged to the side, and charged at the group, ducking and weaving around their spells, all mostly harmless. Finally, as he reached a point where they all fired as one in specific areas, leaving nowhere to go in escape, he vanished, only to re-appear behind the group.
"Seinaru, kusari ni, aragatte misero…"
They all turned to see Mithos behind them floating in mid-air, his body curled up in a ball, a holy glyph appearing underneath him.
"SHINING BIND!"
He thrust his arms and legs out in a star formation and a blast of holy energy knocked the teachers far across the stage.
"Is that all you got?"
They slowly got up and began firing spells again, this time with more force and danger behind them. He dodged around, clapping his hands and slamming them on the floor, causing a pillar of flame to cascade towards them. After firing many flame freezing charms, but still feeling the heat from the pillar of blazing death, they all scattered, the younger teachers rolling out of the way and nimbly recovering, while the older ones had to leap on their faces to avoid it. The standing instructors again began firing at him, covering areas where they thought he'd be next, but he kept evading with ease. Suddenly there was a small flash, and he was now holding long piece of wood carved like a Katana. He began slapping the spells away with his new weapon, while firing energy bolts from his hands. He vanished again, this time for longer.
Next everyone heard a yell of surprise and pain as suddenly Snape went flying off the stage, battered and bruised, while a very smug looking Mithos stood where he once was. Finally, her dark side taking over momentarily, Bellatrix got tired of being thrown around and unconsciously allowed her more vindictive side to lash out.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Surprised to hear the words of Death, Mithos turned instinctively, only to see a green flash, then blackness.
(End Song)
Bellatrix looked at the boy in horror, and dropped her wand in disgust. She collapsed to her knees, tears running down her paled face, sobbing.
"No…I…killed…again…"
Snape had recovered to see the body of the boy on the ground, eyes closed, and unmoving. He looked to see the shocked faces on the staff and students, and the distraught face of Bellatrix. Just as he assumed the worst, everyone saw something amazing…
A Yellow sphere of energy appeared next to the body of the boy. Next, a Red one appeared across from it. Green followed, below that, and Blue across from Green. Black appeared at the boy's feet, as White appeared at his head. The spheres resonated with one another, answering their calls.
Yellow…the hope of the Dreamers…the power of Earth and Lightning…
Red…Courage and Bravery…Anger and Rage…the power of Fire…
Green…Wisdom and Calmness…the power of Wind and Nature…
Blue…Intelligence and Cunning…the power of Water and Ice…
Black…Darkness and Pain…the power of Death…
White…Love and Prosperity…the power of Life…
(Play Chrono Cross: Life Faraway Promise)
As the Six spheres resonated with one another, a seventh Sphere, one that was Silver, but when light passed through it, it seemed like a rainbow of colors… One that Christina found amazing...
"Pretty..."
Silver…Balance and Peace…the power of Time…
Suddenly, everyone heard a strange tune. The seven colored energies were resonating and creating an astonishing sound. Mithos' body began to rise into the air, hovering a few feet off the stage. Energy pooled around him, as his body was surrounded by glowing feathers. The six spheres of energy circled the boy, as they converged upon the seventh, which was floating above his chest. There was a flash of light, and when it faded, Mithos was standing on the stage rubbing the back of his head and grimacing. The entire auditorium gasped in amazement, as the boy had risen from the dead.
"Damn…maybe I should've said no Avada-aah shit! Double-you Tee Eff woman!"
Bellatrix had rushed at him and jump-hugged him, knocking them both to the floor, the woman crying hysterically.
"You're alive! You're alive! I didn't kill you!"
Mithos looked down at the woman with a kind look on his face.
"Nahh, I'm made of tougher stuff than that…although I deserved to get hit with a spell for letting my guard drop, even for a moment. Damn, looks like I'm gonna have to keep training, that should have bounced right off…or maybe…Oi, Bella, what's your wand made out of?"
(A/N: taking a guess here) "Heartstring of the last Dark Dragon…why?"
"Ahh, no wonder it slipped through. You could say I've got a bit of a weak spot when it comes to having spells cast from a wand containing the parts of Elemental Dragons hit me. You've got a powerful wand, use it well. Now, get off me woman! You might be into voyeurism, but I'm Taken, AND I'd rather do it privately."
She flushed slightly and slapped him on the arm as she got up, dusting herself off.
"Well…I got hit…but you got hit more."
McGonagall had to speak.
"Y-yes, but you got hit by the death spell, so it counts more for us."
The boy frowned.
"Oh yeah, well you're old so I win."
The Deputy Headmistress spluttered with indignation (not the spell ToS fans) at his statement.
"Alright, that's enough for one night. You've all seen what I'm capable of, and if you call me the Second-Boy-Who-Lived I'll gut you like a fish and send your entrails to your relatives. Now, SCAT!"
He said this last line with a pulse of energy that forced all the doors to slam open, and all those present to jump in surprise. Everyone scattered out of the auditorium, except the staff and DA, along with Malfoy.
Those remaining looked at the Malfoy heir tensely as he walked up to a slightly dizzy Mithos.
"Yggdrasil!"
"What Malfoy?"
"I thought about your offer. (Here a slightly puzzled look from Mithos, but he nodded for him to continue) I'd like to become one of those on their feet."
Mithos looked at him carefully and then smiled.
"Good, now if you'll excuse me, I have to fall unconscious now. Returning from the dead is a draining task. Good…" Flump.
The silver-haired teen fell asleep right in front of them. The youngest one there, Christina, having not understood what happened earlier couldn't help but make a cheery comment that brightened the mood of everyone around.
"Wow…do you think he'll teach me how to fall asleep that fast?"
Yeah, teach me too dammit! I don't sleep at night anymore! Two updates in two days…don't expect constant frequency like this for long. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go empty my stomach of it's contents.
