Chapter 18

They all sat in the great hall eating supper. No one spoke to each other for a while. Harry sat there mostly eating his mashed potatoes listening to others student conversations.

"Did you tell Volken to duel you?" Kass finally asked after finishing her meal.

"No I told Yoko to tell him." Keanu said

Harry looked over at the Slytherin table where Volken sat there talking to Yoko.

Harry turned back to the others and they were no talking about what time.

"Midnight." He said, "and I made it so that peeves would set up a distractions."

"You made it? It was my doing." Kass said

"Well it is still made that we have a distraction"

It was now 11:45 and 6they made their way to the lake.

"Is it really safe to have it outside?" Hermione asked as they walked down.

"Were having it in the forest this time. So no one see is." Keanu answered

Harry Ron and Hermione walked behind Kass and Keanu most of the time on there way to the forest.

"I thought we weren't suppose to go to this?" Ron said to Hermione

"yes but were already in deep enough not like it can hurt all that much.

Harry listened to the two argue. He was glad that it was now in the forest. It was attracted less attention. Since the duel of Lily's and Volken's people had been whispering about 'those three strange students' Harry Ron and Hermione need less attention.

They entered the forest. As they walked they made noises of snapping branches. When Harry would be looking at time Ron and Hermione would walk in front of him pushing branches aside making them snap in his own face.

They found there way to the clearing and there was no sign of Volken or Yoko.

They all sat there. Keanu muttered spells under his breath. Harry turned away and looked out among the trees. He walked towards them but made sure he didn't wander too far from the others.

Soon afterwards he heard voices. He looked through the branches and saw Volken and Yoko standing there. Yoko wearing the same thing she did the night of Lily's duel and Volken wearing a black hoodie and a pair of blue jeans. They talked quietly to each other.

"Why not Volken?" Yoko asked as she stepped closer to Volken. "Why don't you wish me not to see it? And why will you duel Keanu. You had already put Lily into St. Mungo's."

"I am going to Yoko… nothing you will say is going to stop me. I will kill him… I'll make him suffer worse than potter and Lupin."

"Volken don't! I don't want to see you hurt."

"Do you really doubt me that much?" Volken asked looking at her.

Tears formed softly into her eyes "I don't doubt you. But when I see Keanu… I see… I see the power in him to do anything he believes in."

Volken wrapped his arms around Yoko. "You can't see that in me?"

Yoko closed her eyes "Please Volken, just be careful."

Volken nodded and walked off. He passed by Harry without even noticing him. Harry looked over where Yoko and Volken stood second before to find the are empty of any humans. Harry walked back towards the clearing and sat down next to Ron and Hermione.

Volken walked into the clearing. His green eyes glaring. He stepped into the open space and looked at Keanu.

"Ready to die?"

"You don't have it in you to kill anyone Volken." Keanu said as he stepped away from kass who sat down on the grass next to a tree. "You couldn't kill Lily or Rae."

Volken ignored the remark and took a step back. Keanu took a step back also. "Bow." Kass said. They two of them bowed to each other, wands behind them.

"Go!"

The two of them flew spells at each other from every direction. Either saying them quietly or not saying them at all. Harry watched the two throw the spells at each other wondering who would win. Volken waved his wand in the air and Keanu went flying back.

As Keanu got up Volken snapped his wand in Keanu's direction again. Suddenly Keanu's shoulder was slashed and he started to bleed. His body fell again. He breathed in deeply and then got up.

He brushed his hair away, which got blood in it. He hit Volken with the same spell but hitting him in the gut.

Harry watched them continuing to duel. Keanu's hair had gotten all in the blood of his shoulder. Volken Black hoodie becoming soaked with blood.

"Stupefy." Keanu aimed the spell right at Volken. Volken flew into the air and landed hard on the ground. He muttered a spell tripping Keanu making him fall the same way.
