Chapter six: Blood of my Father

Harry smirked looking at the man across from him. His 'Father' sneering back at him with distain written in his hazel eyes. Clearly thinking some kid was no match for him in a wizarding duel, but none the less drew his wand.

"I accept then." James said smirking. "And since you challenged me thinking you can win, you can use any spells you deem will help you." James commented in a smug voice, rolling his wand in his hands. Draco looking at the man in shock then quickly shook his head thinking to himself. "Dead man walking." Harry sneering and looking around the room.

"Who will be your second then?" He said looking back at his 'Father'. "They should get ready, after all it will only take a second to finish you." Harry declared with the same smug voice. And James waved him off.

"This isn't a match to the death kid." He said rolling his eyes, and Harry silently pouted to himself. "But I chose my daughter as my second. That ways he can see what its like to duel." He said in a proud voice that nearly made Harry puke all over himself.

"Fine whatever, then my second is Draco." Harry said looking behind him to wave his cousin over. His cousin smirking and swaggering over towards them, Harry briefly wandering if that was the only way Draco knew how to walk.

"A Malfoy is it? Oh well, a serpent for a serpent then." James mocked pulling his daughter near him, before a golden sphere surrounded them. A tradition wizarding circle for dueling. Only the people inside the sphere would be in danger of the spells and the on lookers had clear view of the duel. Both Draco and Haley pressed themselves against the wall as both James and Harry bowed to each other.

"One three then kid." James sneered dropping his stance into a dueling postion. Harry nodding and holding his wand tightly in his hands with a sick gleam in his eyes. Draco shuddering to himself at the look. Harry had once given him that look, it was there first encounter. Which was when Harry made it quite plan that he was his mother's son.

Flash Back

Harry smiled happily as he held his mother's hand walking up to the large manner. His hair combed back neatly and pulled into a pony tail. Looking quite the gentlemen as he wore his best dress robes. His mother told him that they were going to meet her family and that he could be on his best behavior, which she knew was never a problem. Though before they could reach the front doors a small boy was making a bee line for them. Bellatrix knew it was her nephew, but Harry who had never seen him before quickly grabbed his practice wand inside his robes. The wand couldn't do major spells, but it was enough to teach Harry the basics.

"Clear out of here." The blonde boy snapped poking his chest out. "We don't need mudbloods running around here." The boy drawled looking at the two. Bellatrix finding the comment amusing comming from her nephew who barely came up to her stomach. Though her son who hadn't met the boy before hadn't known it to be a joke and pulled his wand on the boy with a sick gleam in his eyes.

"How dare you insult my mum!" Little Harry raged causing the boy to shrink back. Harry taking the retreat as a sign of not caring started throwing cutting hexs at the boy in earnst. Each spell connecting and slicing into the boy one after another. Bellatrix watched with a dark gleam as her son attacked his cousin, wandering when he was going to stop. Her question quickly answered when Harry stepped into the boy's bleeding chest and grinding him into the gravel. "Who's got the dirty blood now?" He sneered kicking gravel into the boy's open wounds. Though he stopped and paled when a deep man's voice called to him.

"Now now young Harry." An older version of the boy said walking down from the steps. "Is that anyway to treat your cousin, and my son?" The man drawled pointing the silver serpent caped cane at the boy under Harry's foot. Harry raising his eyebrow and looking down at the boy.

"Cousin?"

End Flash back

Harry watched as the man slowly brought down his fingers in counting. Wandering just which spell he would throw first, and also wandering if the man was going to take him serious. Something Harry seriously doubted. And was only confirmed when the man finished counting and shot a disarming charm at him. Harry twirling his wand in boredom and banished the spell. Not only was it slow it was also powerless. Harry smirking and looking at the shocked expression on the man's face.

"Come on, surly you can do better then that can't you?" Harry mocked though his voice changed into a one that his mother used quite often. "Or is the ittle baby Potter scared to hurt ittle ol me?" Harry mocked in a baby's voice smirking, as Jame's face went into a flushed red. Before firing a bonecrusher hex at him, a powerful spell that bordered the dark arts. And Harry easily sidestepped the still slow spell while rolling his eyes. Slowly getting angry.

"Stop playing around. If you're going to duel then duel." Harry snapped glaring at the man who again started to fire off spell after spell. Violet, orange, blue, red, black, gold, brown, each beam dodged effortlessly by Harry. Now fully pissed off, everything he shot at him seemed to hold zero emotion behind them making them powerless. "Enough, if you aren't going to duel then I'll just have to force you." Harry snapped before darting around the man and firing his own bone crusher hex at James's leg. Though unlike James's hex that came out as a bolt of color, Harry's came out as a pin point laser that connected with the back of his left leg. A loud snapping sound was heard as James's entire knee cap shattered, sending him to the ground in a howl of pain. Harry looking down at him in disgust.

"Get up and fight you fool." Harry snapped firing a powerful verison of the cutting hex into his already damaged knee. Sending more screams into the air along with James's blood. Harry glaring at the man shot a mild pain hex into the same knee to increase the pain. By now most students had turned away from the horrible scene to vomit. Harry realizing the man wasn't going to get back up and fight sneered.

"This is pitiful. Truly it is." Harry declared sending another laser thin spell into James's head and knocking him out cold. Harry quickly turning around with his wand on his sister, who was shaking with fear. Harry smirking and starting his advance, only to be cut off from a grave voice.

"That is quite enough Mr. Lestrange." Dumbledore declared waving his wand at the circle which vanished. "I will need to speak to you in my office now." He demanded before casting a spell on James's to wrap his knee, then looking back at Snape. Snape looking as though christmas had come early. "I would need you to take Mr. Potter to the hospital wing. He is losing quite alot of blood and my spell will not hold for long." The headmaster commanded before noding gravely to Harry and started down the corridor, Harry following behind him with a smile on his face. Harry taking in all the surrounding's in the ten mintue walk before they came to a gryffin statue.

"Blood pops." The man said to the gryffin that quickly stepped aside, Harry still looking around in a dazed expression. Coming into the horribly clustered room and taking a seat in one of the offered chairs. The man's eyes looking at Harry who had turned away to look at the pictures.

"We will start the meeting when your mother arrives." He told Harry who's attention snapped back to him. A wide smile on his face, he couldn't wait to tell his mother what he had done. He was pretty sure she would find it amusing. And smiled happily when he heard foot steps coming up the winding stairs, looking back to see his mother. Only to find Lily Potter coming into the Headmasters office.

"Ah, now that you're mother is here-" The head master was cut off by an angry snap. Harry's grasp on the wooden arming of the chair had broken it.

"That isn't my mother."
