A foggy mist lay over the grounds...it was quite chilly. At this time Harry regreted leaving his shoes and cloak. Right about now, it seemed like that had been a stupid thing to do.

He froze when he saw a flash of green light emit from Hagrid's cabin. Fang was howling in despair. No...could Voldemort really be here? "Hagrid!" he yelled as he ran through the darkness.

As soon as he came upon Hagrid's home, the wooden door slammed open. Harry quickly ducked behind the large pumpkins. He felt cold and numb down to his bones. And he saw a dark cloaked figure walk and and stare right through him. Deep inside the shadowed hood, a pair of reptile eyes shone crimson. Harry felt the sudden erge to run. 'Hagrid...he's dead' he thought panicked.

"Come out, Harry Potter," the raspy voice called him. And as if he was under the Imperious curse, Harry rose to meet his opponent. His wand hand was shaking. "You will die. For my parents, for Sirius, for Cedric and Hagrid. And for everyone you have murdered. This is the end for you," he said, his words strong and too old for his age.

A maniac laugh came to his ears. Voldemort was laughing... "I accept your challenge"
They bowed to each other reluctantly. A great duel this would be. They rose staring each other in the eye and got ready. 3...2...1...

There was an amazing flash of emerald light and Harry was left sprawling to get back to his feet. He had felt death sucking at his veins and had been lucky enough to still be alive.
Harry was dimly aware of Voldemorts followers apparating around him. And he could recall some of the professor's yells. They were fighting too.

His eyes turned to see Voldemort looming over him, his wand pointed at his heart. "Crucio!" his voice roared. Harry immediately recoiled, it felt like millions of hot knives were being stabbed into his body... He had to fight it off, he couldn't take this much longer. And to the Dark Lord's surprise, Harry broke the curse and clambered to his feet.

"You've gotten stronger," Voldemort said in his raspy voice, seeming uninterested as he pointed his wand to attack Harry again.

But for once in his life, Voldemort was caught off guard when Harry did something he had never done before. With a scream of the incantation, a great light blinded everyone. There was a thud on the soft earth as a body dropped.

Then everything went black.


MM: So how is the story? I know it may not be the best, I'm doing most of the spells by memory. If you see any mistakes please tell me! Another chapter will be out as soon as I type it up. FB isn't over yet. Chao!
