Chapter 9 -
"I am giving you fuckers one last chance," Harry said to the death eaters. "leave now, go and surrender to the ministry or go home and never commit another crime. If you refuse to surrender then I promise each and every one of you will die." Harry said, his voice the very definition of calm.
"We are not scared of you!" One death eater shouted.
"That is because you do not know me." Harry grinned. "Now last chance, surrender or die?" Harry asked as if he had just asked them if they wanted something to drink.
"Oh sweet Merlin, this'll be a blood bath." Narcissa whispered under her breath.
"Avada Kedavra!" One death eater shouted and aimed his wand at Harry along with one of his friends, two killing curses flew straight towards Harry but Harry made no effort to move. One killing curse hit Harry in the head and the other struck him in the chest.
But Harry did not move, everyone who watched looked at him with pure awe and disbelief while the death eaters paled under their masks. It was then that they remembered that Harry had already blocked another killing curse, at first they had thought they saw wrong but now it was clear that they did not.
"Well," Harry said as he rubbed some imaginary dust off of his shoulders. "it appears like you have made your choice."
Harry aimed his finger at the first death eater that had fired at him, the death eater began screaming in pain and agony as his body was lifted into the air. A few of the other death eaters tried casting various spells to bring him down but failed. As the death eater got higher and higher Harry slowly closed his fist. The death eaters screams grew as he felt his bones crush as his and legs were pulled towards his body.
His body shifted as his size grew shorter until the body disappeared in a mini black hole. The remaining death eaters did not get much time alone with their fear because Harry's bright emerald green eyes glowed and a beam shot out of each eye and both headed towards the second death eater that fired the killing curse. The death eater saw both of the beams heading towards him and quickly jumped down to the floor, he was flat on the floor so the beams would fly over him.
Unfortunately for him the beams changed directions in midair as soon as they were over his body and went downwards before hitting him in the back. He was barely able to let out a scream before his entire body turned into ash. The other death eaters jumped back in shock and horror at what had just happened, their eyes constantly darted between Harry and the pile of ash. One death eater in a moment of panic fired a cruciatus curse at Harry.
Harry simply raised his right hand and caught it, he looked at the small ball of magic in his hand, either ignorant or uncaring of the reaction of everyone else. He threw it up and down like a ball for several moments before he stopped and looked towards the death eater who had thrown it at him. The death eater paled under Harry's gaze, especially when the ball suddenly grew a lot brighter than before. Harry flicked his wrist and the ball flew towards the death eater and struck him right in the chest.
Now a regular cruciatus curse would have been bad enough, but unfortunately for this death eater Harry had increased the strength of this one beyond human levels. The death eater fell to the ground as he was thrown back by the curse, however the pain was far beyond what the human mind could comprehend and his mind instantly snapped as his nerves were damaged beyond repair.
"Retreat!" One death eater shouted and all the death eaters began apparating and portkeying away.
"Whoa, I did not say you could leave." Harry said as he raised his left hand in the air, he pulled it back as if pulling a rope and then each and every one of those death eaters were pulled back and landed right in front of him, much to their confusion and horror.
"What?!"
"What happened?!"
"How the hell?!"
"I did not say you could leave," Harry repeated as the death eaters got back up to their feet. "You had your one chance, and I had warned you that there would not be another." Harry waved his hand when he saw one death eater raise their wand, the wand flew out of the death eaters hand before jamming itself in the same death eaters eyeball. It pushed itself further in before it exploded inside of his head.
"Surrender!" One death eater shouted, dropping his wand.
"We surrender!" Another shoued, copying the same idea and dropping his own wand. This was followed by every other death eater.
"Really?" Harry asked with a smile.
"Yes we surrender!" Another cried. "Just do not kill us!"
"What about all of the people you killed?" Harry asked in an innocent voice.
"We're sorry!" Another shouted. "Please do not kill us!" He pleaded.
"Well since you're sorry." Harry's eyes let lose a beam that hit that death eater in the stomach, the death eater cried out in pain and clutched his stomach for several seconds, he looked to Harry and was just about to beg for mercy when the insides of his body shot out, covering various death eaters in blood and organs. "Huh," Harry said, a shield prevented the blood from getting on him. "I guess blood does not really matter when your insides explode and death is in front of you." Harry said as the man fell to the floor, lifeless.
Harry raised his hand, all of the blood flew into the air and formed into a ball before the ball shifted into a trio of blades. Harry turned around and the blades shot in the direction he was looking, they impaled a trio of death eaters that had tried to sneak away. Harry knew that they were death eaters thanks to the unique magical signature of their dark marks. Just as Harry turned back around three very brave, or very stupid, death eaters tried to attack him.
One, who had picked up his wand, shot a cutting curse at his neck because he thought that if the killing curse could not finish Harry off then perhaps a simple cut to the throat would do. The second death eater had a slightly different thought as he had only moved after seeing his death eater friend make the first move, the death eater cast a spell to block air from coming into Harry's neck so to distract him long enough for him to be killed or do even better and actually kill him. The third death eater had gone for the simplest approach and tried to slam a knife into Harry's eye, after all the eyes were a weak point for everyone weren't they?
The cutting curse hit Harry's neck but did about as much damage to it as a slight wind, Harry did not even look like he was hit by the cutting curse, nor did he look like the other spell was affecting him at all. When the knife got closer the third death eaters hope grew, the knife hit Harry in the eye. The death eater jumped back with a grin, expecting to see Harry crying in pain. What he did not expect to see was Harry smirking at him and looking unaffected, his eye looked completely fine.
The death eater looked down at the knife and his jaw dropped as he lost all hope of surviving the day when he saw the knife was now broken. He looked at Harry and then back at his knife, then back at Harry then back at his knife. As if he the constant wishing that the situation would eventually change would actually cause it to change. After looking at Harry a fifth time Harry raised an eyebrow, he looked down at the knife as if he just noticed it. Harry shook his head and tutted his teeth.
"You should really be careful where you buy your knives, some people just love ripping people off by selling shoddy equipment." Harry said before he sprang into action.
The broken knife instantly repaired itself before it flew out of the death eaters hand before it zoomed around him, cutting him several times, right before it stabbed the death eater in the stomach. The knife burrowed in until it was completely inside him. Harry turned back to the first and fired a cutting curse, the cutting curse hit the death eater in the leg but it did not die out and instead flew back around and hit him in the other leg before it flew upwards, it kept going so Harry turned his attention towards the death eater that had tried and failed to choke him.
Before the death eater could even protest he found himself flying towards Harry who grabbed him by the neck with his right hand and began squeezing, the death eater shot a variety of spells at Harry but nothing worked as they were all ineffective again. When he had fired a killing curse at Harry it had actually bounced off of him and hit a random death eater who like the other death eaters were watching in growing fear, as of the moment calling it 'horror' or 'fear' would not do justice to how they currently felt.
As Harry choked the death eater in his hand, the death eater with the knife in his stomach was screaming and crying as he felt it shift and change in his body. A few moments later the man was impaled from the inside as a large amount of spikes popped out of different areas in his body, including two that now held his eyeballs. Later when checked there would be twenty different spikes found in his body.
Harry, who had in the meantime grown bored of choking this death eater, simply added a small amount of strength and crushed his neck, ending him. Harry let go of him once he was positive that the man no longer belonged in the land of the living and let his body fall to the floor. Harry looked towards the death eater who had shot the cutting curse at his throat and now found a bunch of cut up body parts and a lot of blood, currently the man was in more pieces than a jigsaw.
"Who's next?" Harry calmly asked the cowering death eaters.
"The devil...you...you are the devil!" One of them cried.
"The devil?" Harry asked in an amused voice as two red horns appeared on his head. "Not quite, though I am sure that one of us at least should be flattered by the comparison." The two horns flew out of Harry's head and straight into the chest of the one who had called him the devil. "Now where was I? Oh yes, who is next?"
"Please don't kill us!" One of them pleaded. "Mercy! Please! Mercy!
"I do not really know who that is." Harry said as he raised his right hand, he brought his right hand up and placed his thumb and fingers together, he was about to click his fingers and finish this when an idea suddenly came to him. "Actually," Harry said as he lowered his hand. "one of you can live, just one."
No sooner than after had Harry finished his sentence each and every one of the death eaters began trying to make sure that they were the one. Each and every single one of them were arguing why they should be the one. They mentioned any reason they though was possibly good enough to save them, including money, political power and even how many unwed daughters they had.
"Enough." Harry said and they all instantly became quiet, Harry pushed both of his arms out and the ground shifted. The buildings grew farther and farther apart until there was a distance between the shops the size of the great hall. "You," Harry said as he pointed to one random death eater. "come here." Harry ordered.
The death eater needed several moments before he was able to shake himself out of his amazement. He slowly separated from the death eater pack and gingerly walked towards Harry. Once he got close enough Harry placed a hand on the death eater's shoulder, though that simple action nearly broke the death eaters shoulder.
"What is your name?" Harry asked. "Scratch that," Harry said when the death eater was about to speak. "nobody cares, including me, it does not matter what your name is. Now I have graciously chosen to let you live, what do you think that you should say in return?" Harry asked as he gave him a kind smile, despite the smile the death eater was quite nervous and very afraid. Partly because of how powerful the person in front of him was and partly because Harry's eyes were not being anywhere near as kind as his smile.
"Uh...t...thank you. Thank you!" The death eater said, briefly wondering if Harry would actually keep his word and let him live.
"Hey now, that is insulting, of course I would keep my word." Harry said, looking offended.
"You...you can read my mind?!" The death eater blurted out, if he was not so incredibly terrified then he would have probably thought how mind reading seemed tame in comparison to the magic that Harry had already done.
"Mind implies that there is some actual thoughts residing in that empty container you call a skull." Harry replied. "But to simplify, yes I did, now I will let you live but in exchange you will do just one thing for me."
"What? W...what...what do I have to do?" The death eater stuttered, many ideas of what Harry wanted came into his mind.
"It is rather simple my friend, I think I will call you soon to-be-in-excruciating-pain." Harry said in a quick voice.
"What?" The death eater blinked.
"Just show me your arm, the one with the dark mark." Harry said as he rolled up the man's sleeve. "Ah, death eaters you call yourselves." Harry said as he examined the mark and more importantly the magic in it. "Death...eaters...eating death. Let me show you all why that was a very bad choice for a name."
"What is happening here?!" One voice demanded. Everyone turned to see Dumbledore along with several teachers and several aurors.
"Oh hi professor." Harry smiled, he was tempted to just obliterate the old man now but decided to hold off, for now at least. "If you will just excuse me for one moment, I am about to end a war."
Harry pressed into the dark mark with his fingers while his magic pressed into the magic of the mark, causing the death eater to howl in pain. The pain, as dangerous to his health and well being as it was, was not deadly so Harry was at least keeping his word. The dark mark connected all of Voldemort's followers and it connected them all to one thing, Voldemort's magic. He could rather simply kill them all from anywhere around the world, Harry bet that most of them, if not all, did not know that particular fact.
Harry also gained the knowledge that the dark mark had to be taken willingly for the magic to truly take affect and for the tattoo to remain on the body, because if it was not willing then the bodies magic would fight it off. It was taken willingly by someone who had to commit a terrible act such as murder or rape. Through the connection Harry was able to gain information about each and every death eater there currently was. To Harry's absolute pleasure certain individuals had taken the mark and now Harry had a brilliant excuse to punish them.
Harry summoned three quarters of all death eaters here, the other quarter were sent to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement (DMLE) with a rather strong urge to confess all of their crimes.
"Where has Peter gone?!" Harry heard Sirius shout but decided not to answer that at the moment.
"Tom?!" Dumbledore gasped when Tom Riddle Junior AKA Voldemort appeared against his will. "What are you doing?!" He directed the last part at Harry who took to ignoring him for the moment and released the death eater, letting him fall unconscious on the floor.
"Hi Tom, no wait, you go by Voldemort don't you?" Harry said to Voldemort who did not look anything like his future self apart from the pair of red eyes and slightly paler than average skin.
"What are you..." Voldemort did not get to finish his sentence as he suddenly lot control of his body, a chair appeared next to Harry and Voldemort found himself in it before he could even blink. He tried moving but he could not move any part of his body apart from his head. "What are you doing?! Who are you?!" Voldemort demanded as he looked at Harry with a furious expression.
"First, I think introductions are in order. You are Tom Riddle Junior..."
"Do not call me that!" Voldemort snapped.
"Half-blooded unloved bastard son of a muggle and a squib," Harry continued as if Voldemort had never interrupted. "as for me, I am Harry Potter, but I also go by another name. You may have heard of it." Harry said as he tapped Voldemort on the head.
Knowledge transferred into Voldemort's mind, letting him know exactly who he was dealing with. Seconds later Voldemort was screaming in fear, he tried desperately to move away from Harry. He did all he could to get away but nothing seemed to work as his body would not move.
"Oh shut up." Harry said as he slapped Voldemort in the face to stop him from screaming, though that ended up having the 'unintentional' side effect of Voldemort losing two teeth. "Oops, sorry about that." Harry said in an unapologetic voice. "Now I am going to give you a small taste of what I can do."
"Mr Potter!" Dumbledore shouted and aimed his wand at Harry along with the aurors, the teachers also raised their wands though they were more reluctant to do so. "That is enough! You will stand down!"
"Oh pretty." Harry said upon noticing the elder wand in Dumbledore's hand. In the blink of an eye the wand flew towards Harry's hand, Harry waved it and all of the wands of the aurors flew out of their hands. 'I can't have another death going around now, can I?' Harry thought right before the wand turned into dust in his hands.
"What did you do?!" Dumbledore demanded in a combination of shock, anger and horror thanks to losing the elder wand.
"Must have been past its sell by date," Harry said in a dry voice. "I'll be right back." Harry said to Dumbledore before he leaned in close to Tom. "Did you really think that those horcruxes of yours would save you from me?" He whispered into Tom's ear, grinning. "Oh no, they would have delayed me at best. Right now, my magic is going through yours and locating your horcruxes, give it a sec." Harry stepped back just as a burst of pain shot through all of Tom's body as he felt his horcruxes being destroyed.
"No! Please!" Tom cried. "Spare me! I'll do anything please! Spare me!" He cried, tears flooding out of his eyes.
"I'd like to do that, no I would not, that is a lie. But let me deal with your death eaters first, then we can get back to talking about why you named them death eaters." Harry said before he raised his hand in the air.
Everything instantly darkened as dark clouds appeared in the sky, a few seconds later lightning bolts shot down from above and began taking out the death eaters. The death eaters tried desperately to run, apparate and portkey away but they were stuck. The bolts took them all down a few at a time until no death eaters were left.
"Well that was fun." Harry clicked his fingers and the clouds disappeared in an instant and the sky returned to exactly as it was before. "So, I guess it is your turn now." Harry said to Voldemort. "Don't beg," Harry cut him off before he could say anything. "I am giving you one chance, just one, to live. Do you want to take it? Do not speak, just nod, do you want to take it?" Voldemort nodded so fast that he nearly broke his neck. "Good, now listen up. You are going to confess to your crimes, and I do mean all of them, you will the reveal your true heritage and you will do your best to get sent to Azkaban as soon as possible and stay there for as long as possible plus you will never knowingly or willingly harm anyone again. And it goes without saying that you will not tell anyone who I am. Is that fine with you?" Tom quickly nodded again.
"Good," Harry tapped him on the chest, a soft red glow appeared around Voldemort's body for a moment. "there we go."
"What was that?"
"Just a little way to ensure that you stick to our agreement. One punishment for the first time you break our agreement and then if you do it again after that you die."
"W...what is the punishment?"
"Now why spoil the surprise? I'll give you a clue though, it starts down there." Harry gestured to the area between Tom's legs, causing the already pale man to pale even more. "Well go on then," Harry said as he clicked his fingers and Tom was sent to the ministry along with each and every dead death eater body.
"Mr Potter...h...how..." Dumbledore stuttered, unable to get words out. He did not understand what was happening at all, how did one person wield such godly power and at such a young age?! How did he lose the elder wand so quickly?! And Tom, Tom was supposed to spend years growing his reputation as a great dark lord so that when Dumbledore finally stopped him there would be no doubt about his reputation as the greatest light wizard of all time since he stopped two dark lords.
As for Harry, the boy was supposed to be someone who supported the same 'do not kill' rule as him! But he had killed so many! The boy was known to be powerful, how could he not be with all of the wandless magic he does, but this was ridiculous! The boy had actually summoned lightning down as if he was the god of thunder! No! It was impossible for someone to be so strong! If anyone deserved that strength it was him! And if someone else had to have it then it should at least be someone Dumbledore could control, after all he was the only one capable of guiding the wizarding world where it needs to go.
Harry for his part ignored everyone and walked straight to Narcissa, everyone quickly jumped and stepped out of his way until he reached Narcissa who stepped past Sirius so she could stand face to face with him.
"Hi." Harry said, his voice as soft as can be.
"Harry!" Narcissa smiled as tears dripped down her eyes. "You came back!"
"Yeah...I'm sorry, I needed...I needed some time to think." Harry sighed as he looked down to his feet. "I'm sorry I was not here sooner, do you hate me for that?"
"No!" Narcissa said as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug, not caring what anyone else thought. "I do not hate you!" She cried tears of joy. "I understand...I am just glad you are back!"
"I killed all those people." Harry said as he placed his hands on her lower back. "Do I scare you?"
"Would you hurt me?" Narcissa asked as she leaned back so she could look him in the face.
"No." Harry answered, shaking his head.
"Then you do not scare me, I believe you Harry."
"Can I be honest? I did not come back here just to be your friend."
"What?" Narcissa's face took on an extremely confused look. "But then why did you..."
Narcissa found herself cut off as Harry pressed his lips against hers as he pulled her body close with his hands, nobody dared interrupt the two out of a very healthy and well earned fear of Harry. The kiss, despite how soft and gentle it was, was filled with passion. Pleasure shot throughout Narcissa's entire body as she felt like she could fly, she had read many stories where the girl ended up kissing the main character and the kiss was described as the best feeling in the world.
This kiss, for her at least, was the best feeling in the world and she was incredibly disappointed when it ended.
"I am here, for you, as long as you want me." Harry whispered.
"Then you, Mr Potter, are going to be spending a lot of time with me."
"How much?"
"How much do I have?"
"I'm positive that death will be willing to hold off for a few more years than usual." Harry grinned.
