THE BOYS WHO LIVED

Chapter 15: Thunderbird Hakkai

Hakkai stood there with some blood dripping from her face looking like she has been swimming in a river full of the red stuff. Harry wondered what had happened to the dragons when the platform was raised again and the group turned to find them all cut to pieces. Harry suddenly felt scared for his life as he watched Hakkai walk towards them. She took a step one at a time as she slowly walked out.

The group watched as she slowly eyed them up and down like a true predator. "Hakkai!" Seamus said and started to make his way towards her, "Seamus stop!" Hermione shouted and Seamus stopped a little too late. Hakkai struck fast and sent him flying till he crashed into the wall. 'Something is controlling my master!' Quick Strike said as he slithered up to her. 'Master please snapped out of it!'

Hakkai paid them no heed as she walked towards Seamus with her claws fully extended and her silver hair flashing against the light. Just as she was about to rip Seamus apart a cat flew out of nowhere and attacked Hakkai's face, 'she is bewitched!' The cat said as she landed on her feet behind Hakkai. Hakkai hissed and slashed with her claws. Midnight the cat leaped away and Delphi the rat followed by Pigwigdeon the owl joined the fight. Hakkai each sent them to the wall and then turned towards the humans.

Ron, Harry, Hermione, Draco, Dean, Seamus and Neville had never been so scared in their lives, "Hakkai it is us!" Neville cried but Hakkai charged them snapping her jaws and they scattered. Hakkai leaped up into the air and pounced on Neville. Neville screamed when Hakkai bit into his shoulder but something rammed into Hakkai and it turns out to be Trevor the Toad along with Crookshanks.

IN THE STANDS

Snape started to make his way down until he felt a wand under his chin. "Where do you think you're going Snape?" said a voice and he found himself at the mercy of Wormtail with the dark lord behind him. "Well it seems that we caught the traitor." Said Wormtail very excited, "Good work Wormtail," he said and pointed his wand but before he could mutter the killing curse a black cat shot out of nowhere and bit into Wormtail's wand hand. The rat man screamed in pain just as Voldemort shot the killing curse at Snape.

The black clad wizard ducked and the cure whizzed overhead. Running Snape ran head first into Voldemort tackling him to the ground and throwing his wand arm away from him. Throwing a punch right into his face he kicked the wand away from him as he got up and ran for it.

IN THE ARNEA

With the people gone Quick Strike concentrated on his master. It seems that the enchantment that was put on her was too powerful. Harry and the others tried to talk to her but it was no use. "POTTER!" there was a shout from the stands and Snape leaped into the pit landing on the sand. He weaved away from an angry Hakkai that tried to take his head off. Using his agility he leaped over her and ran taking his robe off in the process. Sliding to a stop he kneeled over an exhausted Harry.

Harry was badly bruised and could barely concentrate enough to heal himself. He was running on E and was about to run out of gas. "Potter!" Snape hissed and Harry slowly cleared his head. "POTTER!" he yelled again. Instinct took over and Harry slowly opened his eyes both where swollen shut. "Professor?" he asked, "Potter listen to me Voldemort as used a modified version of the Imperious Curse! In order to break it you must speak a language that the caster knows not!" he yelled and rolled away from Hakkai as she slashed down to kill him.

Harry was confused another language? He thought but had to leap out of the way as Hakkai came down again. He rolled over and over again to get away from her when Quick Strike and Pig moved in along with Neville. Neville helped Harry back onto his feet as they ran for it. "Neville we have to think of another language that Voldemort does not know," he said, "Another language?" Neville said and Harry nodded, "Yes another language one that Voldemort does not know. I know he knows Parseltongue and English I bet he knows a lot of European languages….." "What about Asian?" asked Neville, "What do…….OH COURSE!" Harry yelled and turned to Hakkai.

Hakkai was at the moment chasing Hermione slashing her back with her claws and causing an explosion. Screeching her frustration she slashed the ground making it crack. 'Hakkai Stop!' Harry screeched in Japanese.

Hakkai turned to him and growled low in her throat. 'Hakkai it is me Harry don't you remember me?' he asked. Hakkai growled even lower showing her teeth which are indeed long fangs. "Harry what are you doing?" asked Neville, "Talk to her in Japanese Neville it is the language that Voldemort does not know,"

"What are you doing? Kill them!" yelled another voice and Harry looked up to see Voldemort standing up and holding his face. He was surprised to see a black eye and the beginning of a large swelling. Harry was distracted so he did not see the fist coming till it connected and he flew a few feet. Spitting blood out when he got up he felt something crack in his jaw and had to concentrate to put it back. By then he was lifted in the air, 'Hakkai stop!' he said in Japanese again and Hakkai stopped, 'Please Kai stop! It is me Harry remember the boy who helped you overcome the fear of the red eyed demon!' he shouted and Hakkai stopped in her chase.

She was confused that part was evident on her face as she gazed at both Harry and Neville with blank dark eyes. 'Hakkai don't you remember us we help you, we are your friends,' Neville replied back in Japanese and Hakkai turned to them, 'Friend?' she replied in Japanese. "Kill them!" Voldemort replied and Hakkai began to growl, 'Don't let him control you Hakkai it is just what he wants remember what you said about the demon! Well he is the demon!' Harry shouted and Hakkai stopped and turned towards Voldemort.

"What are you doing girl! Kill them!" he shouted and Hakkai growled low in her throat her eyes began to flash no longer clouded. 'How dare you!' she said and Harry's eyes lit up.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA

Draco and Ron both had been beaten rather badly looked up to see Harry talking in some strange language to Hakkai. Being unable to get up both boys looked at each other and heard Voldemort order Hakkai around. Both boys gulped and awaited their fate till Neville yelled in the same language and Hakkai stopped again. Harry joined in the yelling and they soon saw Hakkai start to fight with herself.

She started muttering in the same language that Harry and Neville began speaking. They could see her eyes start to glow as well as the rest of her body.

WHERE HARRY AND NEVILLE ARE

Harry and Neville began to back away as they saw Hakkai start to glow. 'How dare he!' she said and started to glow bright blue. Lightning started to crackle and the wind started to pick up. 'Hakkai?' Neville asked, 'I won't let you contain me! I WON'T BE YOUR PRISONER ANY LONGER!' she screeched towards the heavens. Lightning flashed all around her as her eyes began to glow red, "I will not let a mere human dominate me!" she yelled in English. When she screamed she exploded into light.

MEANWHILE

Dumbledore watched from his window as a beam of light shot towards the heavens and an explosion of light and magic was unleashed. Fawkes began to sing a song unlike any other that Dumbledore has heard before. The song rose to the heavens as the notes took on a life of its own. He could hear the humming of other creatures as they took to the song as well. Something is happening he thought to himself.

IN THE STANDS

The people who were being freed stopped as they looked down towards the white explosion of light, and had to shield their eyes from the brightness. They could hear a loud screech and remembered who was fighting in the arena below.

IN THE ARENA

The light cleared away finally an enormous creature stood in the middle as it lowered its long neck towards the group. They could hear the pounding of thunder roaring in the distance. Lightning flashed in the sky as the group looked up to see Hakkai with glowing golden eyes in her true form.

Harry, Hermione, Neville, Draco, Ron, Dean and Seamus now looked towards the sky as Hakkai stared down at them. A deep growl escaped her throat as she stared down at them. "Hakkai?" Harry asked and the dragon reared its head and screamed towards the heavens. Thunder answered its call and the familiars stood in an awesome presence.

Quick Strike was stunned as he stared up at his master, 'Master Hakkai?' he asked and the dragon looked down at him. He could clearly see what Hakkai looks like. Kai glowed light blue and blasted the roof of the arena with her gaping mouth. Sunlight poured in from outside and everyone finally got a good look at Hakkai.

She was a dragon alright and from what Hermione could see she was covered in thick scales like that of a crocodile but the colors were wrong. It was a bluish green color with a bright red slash under her beak. Her colors were striped across her back like a tiger. Her snout was like that of a beak more like a beak of a seabird. Her body was streamlined like it was made for the water. The difference being is her wings.

Her wings clearly were like that of a bird with its streamlined design build for long distance flight and speed. The horns on her head are like that of a keel for they too are streamlined and sort of flat adding a bit of speed to the mix. She has no forearms only wing and hind legs. Her tail is flat and forked like those mythical dragons in stories. Her eagle like eyes and camouflage skin makes her an ideal predator. "Hakkai?" Hermione asked and the dragon dipped her head down low and Hermione looked straight into her eyes. The eyes were golden just like her monster form.

A shuffling alerted the dragon and it turned to see Voldemort getting up on his feet, "You will not be free!" he yelled and shot a green light towards Hakkai. The dragon ducked and sent a blast of lightning his way. The wizard apparated away just in time as the blast sent an explosion that destroyed the arena.

IN THE RUBBLE

The Ministry of Magic moved quickly to see the damage done to a building and found at least 56 Deatheaters of all ranks. Moody was ecstatic to see so many Deatheaters in one spot. Most of them were dead but those left alive were quickly taken to St. Mungos and then to Azkaban. A huge pile lay in the middle of the rubble as slowly it began to move and then exploded. The roar of a dragon was heard and two glowing eyes emerged from the ruble. With the flap of a wing the dust cleared and the dragon was there as well as nearly 60 people the hostages that were taken by Voldemort. They were guarded by a dragon but not by any ordinary dragon. "Merlin's beard!" he said looking at the dragon in front of them.

The dragon slowly stood back as people slowly walked towards the ministry. Some put up their wands to obliviate the Muggles but the dragon burned the ground in front of the wizards. "Don't hurt them!" yelled a voice and they all turned to find Harry Potter and his friends there with the hostages. "Don't hurt them," he said again, "We are only going to obliviate them," said an Auror. "Our memories erased forget it!" yelled a woman, "Yeah!" yelled another person one of the school people. "But our law states that Muggles or non-magical people can't know of the magical world," said another, "We don't care it is not like we are going to tell your secrets and besides we don't want to forget the people who saved us," said a girl and everyone turned to find that it was Rebecca the girl who got into a fight with Hakkai earlier in the year.

Slowly there was a popping noise and Hakkai turned back into a person with her torn up clothes. "Hakkai!" everyone yelled as she fell over and was caught by Dean and Seamus, "Hakkai risked her life for us she may be a freak but she has a noble heart." Said Rebecca. The Aurors looked confused at so many determined faces. "Let them keep their memories," said Moody as he walked up to Harry and his friends. "Oi Potter how is your gang?" he asked eyeing Harry and Draco lifting Professor Snape up. Suddenly a loud shout was heard as people moved away from a snake as it slithered up to Hakkai. "Quick Strike?" she said and the snake nodded before rubbing his head against her leg. "Hey snake!" said Snape, "Your skin stopped the killing curse how is that possible?" he asked and Harry translated.

LATER AT WINCHESTER CAFETERIA

"You did what to old Moldy Warts!" said Mundungus as they ate at the cafeteria. "I did not say anything though my hand still hurts from connecting with his face," said Snape as he held up his bandaged hand showing of his fist. Moody was laughing so hard that food went out of his mouth and onto Minerva McGonagall. She glared at the ex Auror as she cleaned herself up with a flick of her wand. Parents of both sides mingled and it was like a harmonious conversation till a ring entered the foray.

Headmaster Kee-Hong and Headmaster Dumbledore both stood, "It has come to out attention that there was a certain contest that was taking place when all this happened. It is our pleasure to continue this contest maybe do it again without any interruptions this time." Said Dumbledore and everyone cheered.
