So I hate writing action scenes and that's what has held this story up, so you know what? I'm just getting it out of the way, now that it's bloody finished I can focus on Harry and Lillith's relationship and the tournament, ugh. Anyway yeah short and I need to edit it again but christ I'm just glad it's done and over with, next chapter will be better I promise, anyway please read and review, I'm out.
The Potter twins stared each other down for several moments as the darkening clouds continued to gather in the skies above; honestly Harry felt it was melodrama at it's best but considering the fact no one asked him for his opinion he kept the thought to himself. Twirling his holly and phoenix feather wand in his right hand he threw a cocky half grin at his sister as Aunt Bellatrix bellowed,
"Begin!" Lillith didn't hesitate, unlike her match against Hermione she for some reason felt no need to hold back and sent a chain of stunners and banishers towards her brother while he returned the favor. It was odd though, no matter how over powered the spells were the twins deflected the near hits as if they were nothing while the ongoing assault only egged them on to cast more elaborate counters.
"Come on Lils is that all you've got!?" Harry laughed out as he transfigured a bit of debris into a pack of wolves sending them towards his sister, his fellow ravenette smirked in reply as she fired a bombarda into their midst sending chunks of bloody meat flying.
"Hardly Har-Bear, do try to keep up with the class," grinning viciously Harry fired a pair of lightening curses towards his sister but she deflected them into the dome protecting the crowd as she conjured a series of metallic knights sending them forth with a gesture. Firing several curses at the imposing figures Harry growled in frustration as they deflected the powerful spells on their mirrored shields,
"Oh you cheating bitch!" Harry yelped as he dove around their glinting blades twisting away from their strikes, firing a banisher he nodded in satisfaction as the construct collapsed under the blow, this he could work with. Still grinning Lillith began twirling her wand as she constructed something significantly more complex then her last endeavor; finally banishing the last knight Harry turned around just in time to face the screaming maw of what appeared to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"All is fair in love and war dear brother," she drawled out as Harry dove out of the massive constructs path barely avoiding its attempt to bite him in half; rolling to his feet he muttered several incantations and grinned as his own creations took form. The small pack of Velociraptors charged the confused monster and began crawling up its sides and as one they exploded taking the king of the dinosaurs out with them. Whatever response he was anticipating from his twin, laughter was not it,
"Oh...oh god Harry, really? HA! I'm never standing next to one of your conjurations again that's for sure!" Throwing her a half grin he fired several over charged explosion curses towards his twin who responded with a brief incantation that turned the ground beneath him into dozens of flailing clawed arms. Yelping as his jacket was snagged by several of the offending limbs he managed to shed the article of clothing in time to avoid a series of piercing hexs; aiming his wand just behind his sister he played a hunch that this particular phobia had not been part of her cloak of lies.
Lilly was about to snark about his poor aim when something purple, slimy, and long wrapped around her ankle, turning around quickly her eyes widened in horror at what was facing her, "TENTACLES!?" Her horrified screech reverberated across the pitch as she began panicking, dozens of the slimy appendages soon began grabbing at her, muttering a quick phrase her elbow pads disconnected and she managed to slide out of her jacket as it was torn apart by the monstrosity before her. Harry began laughing as he crossed his arms in amusement,
"Don't think I forgot about you finding Tonks porn stash, I know how much those freaked you out," glaring at her twin Lillith cast a severing hex at her ankles freeing herself in a moment. Harry's eyes widened at the deepening scowl staring him down as his sister began prowling towards him, not even looking at where she was aiming she fired a spray of violet flames on the half formed tentacle monster and only released the curse when she stood a meter from her now concerned brother.
"You know what, fuck it, knife," Harry's eyes widened as he mouthed the word "Knife?" in confusion, then he was dodging out of the way of said conjured pointy implement. Conjuring his own blade they both took fighting stances and began circling each other, slashing back and forth they tuned out the roars of the crowds when suddenly a crack of thunder rolled across the sky. Both teens looked up just in time to watch the deluge of cold rain fall from the heavens soaking them through immediately, coming to the conclusion that holding a piece of metal in an open field in a thunderstorm was a bad idea they both ditched their blades.
"Getting tired sister?" Lillith growled in return as she fired a flame charm above her turning the falling rain into a billow of steam effectively cloaking her movements, Harry was in the midst of conjuring a gust of wind when his twin flew out of the center of the cloud. What happened next was completely reflexive he'd later admit, but regardless the results were impossible to ignore.
As Lillith Potter sprinted towards her target grinning widely she was caught completely off guard as a yellow charm cut across her, hearing the last echoes of Harry's "Expelliarmus!" she skidded to a stop as her wand flew towards her brother. Staring in mute shock as he lifted her ebony wand aloft the crowd went wild as he was announced victorious, unable to comprehend this turn of events all she could do was mutter,
"He...beat me?" As her Aunt Bella escorted her off stage all she could manage to do was shake her head in confusion, once down on the ground she met the gaze of her smirking best friend and rather dumbly repeated herself, "He...beat me..." Hermione smirked knowingly as she wrapped an arm around Lillith's waist.
"Yes dear and well done, come come lets get out of the rain and showered all right?" Nodding once she threw a look over her shoulder just in time to catch her brothers grinning visage staring at her as lightening lit the sky.
After being congratulated by his family and an incredibly excited Gryffindor House Harry finally managed to get away from the chaos long enough to recuperate from the days duels. He would be the first to admit it, he'd actually had to put effort into winning against his sister, she was...chaotic, powerful, and playful, perhaps too playful really. Honestly if she hadn't been playing so many games of distraction and switching styles mid combat she would probably have had him a couple of times there.
Reflecting on that as he entered the Prefects bath he shucked his filthy BDU's and kicked several of the taps to fill the tub, stretching he fell back first into the water and sighed in satisfaction as the massaging heat soaked into his muscles. He really had no idea how long he lounged in the magically heated water but he really didn't care either, eventually he threw his arms over the edges of the massive tub and let his head fall back onto the rim as he stared at the ceiling. When he heard the door open he really had to resist the urge to grimace, he just wanted some peace and quiet, time to not even think, just relax, silently praying that whoever entered would go away he decided to simply pretend he hadn't heard their entry.
His hopes were dashed when he heard the new occupant slip into the water, suppressing a groan he eventually felt the presence of his bath partner before him, sighing he looked up and froze in shock. Standing before him bereft of all clothing was his twin sister, her soaked hair the only thing covering her pert breasts, eyes widening he managed to sputter out,
"Li-Lillith, what are you...How did you even get in here?!" As he stared at his twins face he noticed a handful of things he'd previously discounted, her eyes were heavily lidded, her cheeks were flushed red, and she was breathing rapidly. Gulping nervously he pushed himself fully to the wall of the tub as Lillith sauntered towards him, she reached for his face and gripped his chin between her thumb and forefinger lifting his head to meet her eyes.
"You...you beat me..." and without any other warning she pressed her lips to his and all Harry could do in return was wrap his arms around her neck. When he pressed his tongue to her lips she offered no resistance as she opened the way for him, tongues lashing together Harry was vaguely aware of her mirroring his earlier movement and wrapping her arms around him as her legs pulled themselves around his waist. Harry Potter's last rational thought for the night was a delighted, "Eh...fuck it."
Annnnd now things are about to get very very awkward, mwhahahaha!
