Chapter ten: Questions and Killings.
Pansy crouched down low in the shrubs in front of the mudbloods house. She had no idea what Orion was doing trying to protect the mudblood but she wasn't about to question him either. And another thing had been buggging her has well, the boy next to her seemed to jump whenever Orion said so. What power did the boy hold that enstilled such fear, or maybe there had been another reason. Shaking her thoughts clear from her head she nodded to the boy and started forward only to be pulled back by an extremely powerful hand.
"We aren't alone. Stay here until I finish with them, then go up and get the girl. And remember he didn't say she had to be in the best of health." The boy named Dudley commanded before standing up in the clearing just has several black cloaked figures emereged from the grove of trees, wands raised for action. Holding back a gasp at the arrival of the death eaters Pansy made a move to help the boy but he only held out his hand to stop her again. Then nodding to her he dashed out with amazing speed for someone with his build to meet the death eaters head on. And that's when the first spell was sent through the air lighting the grounds up with a sparkling green. And even has Pansy hugged the ground the boy merely sidestepped and continued. Grabbing the curser by the wand arm and by his face and throwing him into the ground with enough force to crack it. Now more spells were flying at all angles at the boy who just continued to dodge at an ungodly rate. Two more death eaters where leveled by the boy, limp bodies flying back into the grove. Only four more figures left.
"Stun him and bring him back to the master!" A female's voice called out behind a mask, and a reasonably young one at that. Four stunners in unison flew at the boy who only stood there awaiting the impact. But it never came, the spells just glided through the boy who vanished into a mist. And before the attackers or Pansy could realize two more bodies had laid crippled on the ground. The remaining two let out a scream and backed away from the towering figure, who in turn rushed at them and stood behind them before their bodies hit the ground. In horror and awe Pansy eyed the boy who's watery blue eyes locked on her.
"Get the girl. Where have other things to attend to." He snapped looking down at her, before turning back to the grounded figures and began grouping them. Though Pansy saw none of this has she rushed into the house. She didn't want to have this boy's fury turned on her.
Draco's feet groaned in protest has they turned down yet another corridor. The halls of azkaban seemed to go on forever in endless circles. Though the travel was not without action, Draco mused following after his cousin. Seventeen guards had thier memories modified, and another twenty had laid in ruin. Though Draco was most surprised when a rather tricky guard managed to pop out of one of the prisoner's cells and fired a hex at him. He of course countered it, but before he could manage to curse him back a thin crimson mist sprayed his face. And his cousin stood up in the bloody shower has the guard split in two, those dangerous emerlad eyes casting a truly sick gaze at him has blood dripped from his hair and forehead. His cousin has said nothing has he placed the until now unnoticed sword back in its holder.
He smirked has he looked at his cousin's back in a lost wonder. He had always considered his the boy to be a gryffindor through and through. But the cunning and utterly destructive manner he held now had him speechless. He had slaughter without remorse and always cast that twisted gleam has he did so. A twisted gleam that he had seen once before in his entire life, though the holder had been none other then his aunt.
"We're here." Harry called looking over his shoulder, successfully ripping Draco out of his musings. Blinking in confusion Draco looked over the rather large silver doors that read "Prison Warden." in bold scarlet writing. Harry placed a hand on the door and seemed to be lost in thought for a second before he stopped and looked back at his cousin. "I know a spell." Which had caught Draco off guard.
"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" Draco seethed gesturing the door. "This is made out of silver. You know silver? The most highly resistant metal to magic?" Draco snapped glaring at his cousin. He was truly in no mood to play, his emotions had run just about thin when he was so close to his father and yet so far away from him. But his cousin only shrugged and pointed his wand at the door. Draco glared for a second before sighing in defeat and pointed his wand at the door has well.
"On my count, we fire the killing curse."
Pansy yawned loudly looking around the stone marble flooring. They had since captured the filthy mud-blood wench Granger has they were ordered to. She put up little struggle in the event but she was without wand when she arrived. The little bludger kept ducking and dodging, but again the boy had came and settled the manner with little effort. A quick and cutting back hand sent the girl slamming into her wardrobe with a sickening crunch. He had managed to break her jaw in several places but nothing to kill her, which suited their needs just fine. Though now with thier task down Pansy just sat in wait at the Orion manner until Draco and Harry returned.
And Pansy managed her time looking over the still knocked out Granger, and the very mysterious Dudley Orion. The boy sat with his eyes looking out the window to the ever falling snow. An enchantment by that last owner of the manor, an everlasting weather charm. It altered to whatever the current master keyed it too, and Pansy hoped it would be anything by the endless silver snow. A low hum came from the boy with short blonde hair and watery blue eyes. His massive arms crossed over his chest which tweaked the woman in Pansy whenever she looked at him. Though the same question burned in the back of her head has it did during the mission.
"What does Harry have over you?" Pansy said finally deciding to voice her question has she played with a strand of brown hair. "By watching you today I'm pretty sure you could take him. He is only but so big." She thrilled smirking to herself, though the expression quickly changed as the boy began to laugh. And had the laugh not been directed at her she would have found it charming, but it was. "And what is so bloody funny?" She seethed looking over the boy, who only continued to laugh holding his hand up to stop her.
"Have you ever seen that boy when he is pissed?" Dudley asked, his deep voice vibrating in Pansy's chest, who in turn shook her head no in response. "And be glad you haven't. I challenged him once and only once." Dudley replied shuddering some has the image replayed in his head.
Flash Back
Harry sat cross legged looking out the window to the falling rain. His peaceful eyes always seemed at calm, which was something that Dudley couldn't utter to stand. They had since found out about thier powerful blood lines, and the amount of raw power they had contained within themselves but there was always a sting. He had grown up being raised has Harry's surperior in every way. And now he truly believed he was still in fact the more powerful of the two, after all he was truly the oldest. ANd had it not been for that rule, that all heirs of the family had to be of pure blood he would have claimed the title. And besides, Potter didn't seem to have the right vision of being some one so powerful and important. He was just to damn peaceful.
"Oy! Potter." No matter how many years they had been there Dudley just couldn't break the hold habit. "I think its time me and you had a talk." Dudley barked throwing off his robes and flexing his arms. Harry didn't even cast a glance his way. He just kept those terrible green eyes locked on the rain, showing no sign that he even heard him. But Dudley took no heed, sneering at his cousin's back. "I think its time you stepped down." Dudley snapped again gripping the sides of his daggers and watching his cousin carefully. Though unlike the other time, his cousin showed signs of listening this time, and Dudley almost wished he hadn't. He could feel the sudden pluse of magic flaring from his cousin, as well as watching the ground around the boy snapping and erupting around his sitting form.
"So thats it isn't it?" His cousin's voice reached out with an eerie chill to it. "We finally have a chance to be a real family and you wish to take it away from me." His cousin snapped in fury. The once peaceful rain outside turning into a full blown storm. And yet his cousin still merely sat there, letting his power reach out around him, a power that Dudley didn't know his calm and peaceful cousin contained. Though before Dudley could reply he found himself staring at those green eyes that shifted to such a dark green one could have sworn they were black. His cousin's voice dripping with pure, unchain venom.
"I won't let you take what's mine." Harry snapped before stepping back and drawing his wand from its holder. The power that rippled from him calming down once again, and the storm comming to a sudden stop. "Since you're feeling so froggy. leap." Harry whispered to his cousin, his wand slightly glowing from the power. Though when Dudley didn't move his cousin snapped again letting the power out again. "I SAID LEAP!" He roared letting a burst of his magic slam into Dudley chest, who in turn responded with a wandless cutting hex. And that's when his cousin really let loose. A onyx shield appearing in front of him has he began firing spell upon spell at Dudley, who only had enough time to dodge and draw his dagger from its holder. Which turned out to be a mistake has Harry appeared by his side and fired a rather powerful bone crusher hex that landed on target much to Dudley's displeasure who was thrown to the ground with his left arm shattered in several places and angels.
"You tried to take the best of me." Harry's chilled voice shook into his cousin. His wand pointed at his cousin's heart has he spoke. "You tried to take what is rightfully mine. A deed that you could have gotten away with when we were younger. But that was years ago Dudley." Harry continued sending a spell at Dudley that forced him into the air. "By the way, I never got to thank you for that." Harry said with a sick smile, opening his left hand that now glowed a bright orange. "Thank you." And thats when the spell hit him, and Dudley truly understood why they had called the torture spell an unforgivable. He would rather die then suffer through the spell that was ripping his senses apart at the seams, but the curse was lifted. "You ever try to challenge me again. And I swear I'll kill you without a second thought." Harry declared turning his back on his cousin and sitting cross legged again on the now blood red and cracked floor.
End Flash Back
"I couldn't move for at least an hour." Dudley said looking out the window again. "There is no stopping him when he is like that, he doesn't need to be big with power like that." Dudley said dismissing the subject and throwing his attention to the silver snow fall. And Pansy sat deep in thought, she knew Draco was powerful, but just what the hell was this other boy holding within him.
Harry sat on the edge of the desk, his wand pointed lazily at the warden that kneeled whimpering at his feet. Draco had sat himself into the warden's large desk looking at the widen hole in the wall that once represented the warden's office door. Harry smirked kicking the warden again, feeling yet another rib snap during his attacks. And with a heavy sigh Draco picked up the restricted files again and looking over the prisoners. One of his own ideas, figuring that if they were bad enough to end in here they could be useful. Though a pratically interesting subject fell under his gaze.
'Hey listen to this.' Draco called to his cousin, who turned his head to look back at him. 'They sent an eight year old here about seven years ago. Says she killed fifty people and was sitting in thier blood when Aurors came to find out what happened. That's pretty-' Though before he could finish his cousin snatched the file from his hand. The dark green eyes replacing the bright ones again.
"They put a fucking kid in here!" He snapped glaring down at the warden. "In a high security ward at that. 24/7 dementor guards to boot." Harry seethed pointing his wand at the man again, sending off a devasting cutting hex that ripped the man in two. And spitting on the now gushing corpse Harry turned to his cousin. "Find a new warden will you? I'll be back." Harry said Draco nodding reply has Harry dashed out of the room. The held the girls wand in a high security vault as well, her wand had been infused with an unknown metal that resisted any attempts to destroy it. Harry deciding he should grab this first, he was sure the girl would miss it. Though why the girl even had a wand at the age of eight was beyond him, but no child should be placed in hell.
"Master? I thought this was my wing." A silk voice whispered from the shadow's has the large cat appeared, green eyes shimmering. She certainly had some timing.
"Did you by chance find a vault during your search?" Harry asked walking over to the large cat and thowing his leg over her back. Though the cat didn't response but instead began to bound off at an extremely fast pace though careful not to lose her rider. Harry leaning forward to the slick creature has she dove down a flight of stairs. Harry didn't even try to watch the halls flashing past him in the uncertainty of hurling. Soon comming to a stop in front of a shimmering golden vault that held grim and blood smeared over it, and two mangled bodies. Harry sliding off his familiar rising his eyebrow at the sight.
"I was hungry?" The Nudu offered in poor excuse causing Harry to laugh and shake his head. Lifting his wand and firing a second killing curse that day, easily ripping through the golden door that held no resistance to magic. Sighing deeply Harry entered the vault, instantly finding what he was looking for. Center stage held the a number of wands gleaming in an odd light.
"Do they even try to guard these things?" Harry questioned looking down at his pet who only rolled her eyes. Sighing deeply Harry began to look over the wands, smiling to himself when he crossed a cane with a silver serpent's head on it. "I think my uncle might be needing this." Harry said nodding to his cat to retrieve the wand from the glowing light, and watched in boredom has the containment spell only sparkled against Rowena's hide. The Nudu happily placing the wand into her master's out streched hand.
"Thanks." Harry said, once again looking over the wands. Finding a silver one that grabbed his attention, holding two winding silver cords from its handle. Harry briefly wondered what they were used for, but dismissed it has arm holders. Nodding again Harry signalled his cat to retrieve the wand, who did so quickly and getting down so Harry could get on her back again.
"Where to this time master?" She asked flicking her tail back and forth, again Harry was quickly wrapped up in his views. I wondered what it would be like with a tail. He thought to himself has he climbed back on to his Nudu's back.
"I need to get to the upper level cells." Harry commanded, and in the same instant they were off again. Though his time a dark portal opened in front of them, giving Harry such a startle that he nearly fell off.
"Its funny, I learned how to do that when I eat a dementor." Rowena replied jumping into the void. A eternal darkness engulfing them for a few seconds before a dazzling white light ripped into the darkness and they emerged standing on the edge of the high level hall way. Softly Harry whispered to his familair and pulling out his wand. Nodding she kneeled down again letting Harry off, and both predator's sunk into the natural shadow's of the castle. Thier target visable has two dementor's floated in the air above a small cell to the far wall. Nodding again to his partner, they began thier attack on the creatures.
