Hermione wandered through Hogwarts trying to find Harry, her new wand held firmly in her hand, "Harry where are you?" She whispered. Just as she was about to head to the Great Hall for lunch she heard a soft gentle sound drifting down the corridor, hurrying along Hermione stopped outside the Astronomy Tower. Steeling her resolve she opened the door to see Harry with his feet over the edge and a guitar in his hands as he softly played a song she had never heard before.
Harry smiled as he sat looking out over the Lake and quidditch pitch playing soft nots on his guitar, Harry had made the guitar himself, carving every part of it to his exact needs before putting his very life force into the guitar to create a truly magnificent instrument. Even now he was not quite finished, beside him sat an Ancient Runes book from which he had been searching through to find some interesting symbols and runes to carve into his guitar. Finishing the song he had written Harry jerked at the sound of applause. Looking over his shoulder Harry saw Hermione looking at him with a startled Ginny beside her. Smiling he gestured for them to come over and sit down.
Once the girls were comfortable Harry once again began to play guitar, his wings wrapped around bot girls to keep the chills away. Halfway through the song Harry felt Hermione reach into her pocket and pulled out her new wand and began to swish it around creating red, blue and gold sparks in the air, showering the group with magic. When Harry was finished playing he stood and looked at the two girls before swinging his guitar over his back and leading the girls down the stairs.
Ron sat at Gryffindor Table looking frantically for Hermione, Ginny and Harry, finally seeing them he felt his muscles relax. Looking over at the Slytherin Table he could see Draco Malfoy and his goons planning something. Rising to his feet, Ron tried to warn his friends and sister only to be hit in the back with a quickly muttered stunning spell.
Harry looked around and saw the brief flash of red indicating a Stunner and immediaty went into defense mode. Dropping to the ground Harry rolled and drew his wand then leapt into the air, rising gracefully on his wings. Looking around Harry sees where the attack came from and lands soundlessly on the Slytherin Table.
Draco looked up at Potter and gulped, standing before him was not the angst teen of fifth year, but an Angel of God, Warrior of the Light, here to smite his foes and conwuer the Dark.
Harry grinned down at Malfoy clumsily attempted to raise his wand. Harry smirked as Malfoy cast a feeble stunning spell which Harry blocked with his bare arm. Malfoy gulped as Harry dropped his smirk and glared before fixing his gaze on Dumbledore and mouthing, 'We Will Dual.' Dumbledore nodded and Harry returned his gaze to Malfoy. 'I challenge you to a dual. No seconds, no rules.' Dumbledore gasped as he read Harry's lips, what is that fool of a boy doing, no rules, if he gets killed then I'll need to train a new weapon to defeat Voldemort.
Harry grinned as Malfoy nodded, accepting the dual. Harry lifted into the air and flew over to the Gryfindor Table, landing soundlessly and awakening Ron in the same movement. Grinning he motioned for the students to step back against the walls and let Harry and Draco have the floor. When the floor was clear Harry looked over at Malfoy and mouithed, 'First one to surrendor or die loses.' Malfoy nodded and the dual started.
Hermione and Ron stared in horror as curse after curse was fired by the two dualists, with neither gaining a hit or advantage. Malfoy would cast multiple spells in quick succession in hopes of overwhelming Harry who could counter by firing one spell with his wand and a shield charm using Wandless Magic. Harry grinned as Malfoy jumped from Table to Table avoiding his curses.
Malfoy glared at Potter who was standing in one spot smirking at him! Draco Malfoy, heir of the Heir of the Great Malfoy Lineage. Muttering Malfoy decided to dip into his fathers teaching, pulling various Dark Spells to the top of his mind.
Harry grinned as Malfoy stumbled dropping his shield. Launching himself ito the air Harry cast multiple Reducto Curses at the Tables and chairs, breaking them into large chunks of useless wood.
Malfoy looked around himself trying to understand why Potter had destroyed the Tables when he saw a basic flicking of Potter's wand. Swish and flick…
Harry smiled triumpiantly as the Wood chuncks rose into the air with the simple Levitation Charm. Below him, Malfoy jumped from Chunk to chunk, trying to get level with him.
Hermione clapped her her hand over her mouth as she recognized the Wand Moveements Malfoy was using. She had seen it in one of the DADA Books in the Room of Requirements. Malfoy was going to use a Dark Magic Virus Spell, a spell which infected the victim, sapping their Magical Energy, leaving them Magically weaker than a muggle. Hermione screamed out to Hary as Malfoy finished the spell and fired at Harry.
Harry heard Hermione scream but didn't need her to tell him what the spell was. Harry had read all the books in the Room of Requirement, and had recognized this one the instant Malfoy negan the spell. Harry blinked lazily as the spell raced towards him, Hermione's screams echoing throughout the Hall. When the spell hit him Harry dropped several feet before catching himself, then glared at Malfoy who was preparing another Dark Spell.
Malfoy muttered another spell his father had taught him and let it fly, sucking the oxygen out of the air around Potter who began to swoon immediately as the air became unbreathable. Grinning Malfoy cast several freezing spells, freezing Harry solid.
Hermione sobbed into Ron's shirt as Malfoy prepared a Reductor Curse then fired, shattering the ice and Harry. Beside her Ginny stared, as Harry's guitar fell.
Malfoy watched as Potter's guitar fell towards the ground then frowned as Weasel's sister lunged forward and caught the Guitar.
Ginny held the guitar in her hands as Ron and Hermione helped her to her feet. Looking down at the guitar in her hands Ginny could feel Harry in it. Suddenly an ethereal hand appeared holding hers. Looking up she saw Harry.
Harry grinned down at Ginny as he gently pulled the guitar out of her hands and slung it over his back, reverting his body to it's physical form before looking up at Malfoy who was shaking in fear, as were many other Slytherins from the crowd. Smirking Harry lifted back into the air and flew at Malfoy at full speed while enchanting his fist to become rock.
Malfoy watched as Potter flew at him, drawing his fist back. Hastily erecting a shield Malfoy stumbled back and waited for Potter to colide with his invisible wall.
Harry saw the wall with his Second Sight and flew faster, pouring more magic into his fist. When he was at the wall Harry swung his fist and went riht through it, still picking up speed and power until he hit Malfoy who flew back and shattered his own shield before smashing against the far wall of the Great Hall with enough force to break several ribs. Harry watched as Malfoy fell to the floor and rolled over onto his back before floating over and summoning the Sword of Gryfindor and pressing it to Malfoys throat and mouthing, 'Yield. Now.' Malfoy nodded and whispered hoarsely, "I yield, Potter wins." All around the Hall cheers erupted then cut out almost immediately when Harry bent down and placed his hand on Malfoy's chest, healing him instantly.
Malfoy got to his feet checking his body for injuries before looking at Harry and simply said, "Thank you Potter, good dual." Harry smiled and for the first time in nearly fifty years a Gryfindor and Slytherin shook hands as friends.
Wow! Even I was thrilled at that dual. And never mind about the new book being out, I didn't like the ending of Half Blood Prince, so I'm acting as though it never got released. Hope ya'll keep reading this, I doubt it matches Rowling's work but I do hope it comes close.
