-1"Remember that a successful marriage

Depends on two things

(1) Finding the right person

(2) Being the right person."

Fiendfyre is a seemingly unstoppable cursed fire, the flames of which take the shape of fantastic creatures that pursue those caught in its path. The last notable appearance of Fiendfyre was when a boy named Crabbe casts it creating beasts to chase Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley. The fire was uncontrollable by the young wizard and, as a consequence, everything in the room he cast it in was destroyed (including himself).

Taka loved the thought of such a power that few could stop. He walked alongside the groups of people that were all dressed up for such a wondrous occasion; a wedding. Taka took in note that there sure did seem to be many Aurors attending this wedding, something he hadn't accounted for. Then it hit him; Tabitha--head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement--would be here. After all, Angel and her were the best of friends.

Taka took a seat towards the part. To make it more dramatic, he was going to wait until the part where the priest asks for any objections as to why the two shouldn't be married. He sat there looking at the man who was about to accept the one true love of Takamaru's hand in marriage. Taka had to force himself to just sit there and not unleash his magic then and there.

The music started playing, Taka's head tilted towards the door as a man walked through. His arm was entwined with a woman who was in such a magnificent dress that Taka's breath stopped coming. Jade D'Amore looked absolutely stunning. Taka couldn't find any flaw in her features, she seemed to be the quintessence of perfection. He gulped slightly trying to find it in himself to just leave and let the wedding happen. But at the same time, he couldn't. He knew that the man before her--the man she was giving her hand to--had to die. He had to pay for his sins.

He watched her--time having slowed down--as she walked to the alter. The way she moved just added to her perfection. He couldn't stand it. It hurt him to know that he is not the one that was on that alter…that he was not the one she was giving herself too. He gripped his wand with every fiber of his muscles. His knuckles turned as white as snow.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today…"

He swallowed, his throat was as dry as ice.

"…In the presence of these witnesses to join Angel O'Conner and Jade D'Amore…"

Taka could feel what was left of his heart slow start to cripple under the agony of what was before him.

"…in matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among al men; and therefore--is not by any--to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly--but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly.."

He closed his eyes trying to imagine that it was Tabitha marrying O'Conner and not Jade.

"…Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined…"

Here it comes, he knew what he had to do.

"If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together--let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

Takamaru stood up and with the swishing and flicking of his wand, a few undecipherable words, purple flames fired from his wand tip. Taking the shapes of centaurs and dragons the flames leapt over the people sitting in the audience, running straight for Angel O'Conner. Taka stood, his eyes bulging with madness as the fire burned through the decorations.

Tabitha stepped forward, her wand was out in an instance. She was sending spells that were blasting through the fire--it couldn't destroy it though. Before Jade or Angel could fully react as to why this was happening, a blast threw them aside as Tabitha fired her wand at them to keep them from being in the way of the Fiendfyre.

By this time wizards had started running in trying to contain the fire, wizards that meant nothing to Taka. He walked through the crowd of people--all of whom had started running to get away from the Fiendfyre some time ago--towards the two people who were supposed to be married. Angel was helping Jade up as she sat staring in horror at the damage the Fiendfyre was creating. The wizards who were consumed trying to remove it.

"This would have never had happened to you Jade, if you would have stayed away from him like I had said!" came the angry voice from Takamaru; his wand let out angry sparks. Angel turned around, his own wand coming out.

"Stay there Tak!" his voice was wavering, Taka could tell, but he still stood strong, "This is going too far, I am ending it here and now!" He made a slashing movement with his wand and a solid beam of white light fired forth. It had rings around it giving it a sci-fi beam look to it. The beam connected with Taka directly in the chest sending him flying backwards into the chairs that the audience had been sitting in.

Taka cursed loudly as he started to stand. His body was starting to ache from the torment it had just endured. He smiled back at Angel, "Afraid to use real magic, eh?" Takamaru's wand snapped forward immediately. Purple sparks flew towards Angel who brought up a shield to block them. However; the shield shattered as the sparks hit it. Angel was sent flying back over Jade as she stood watching in horror as the man she loved fought the man she had loved. She choked with tears as she pulled her wand out and pointed it at Taka; Taka paid no attention to her.

"Everte Statum!" a solid beam of yellow light fired from her wand hitting Taka on his right side. He went flying through one of the decorative columns. He lay there for a second. He could feel the ribs that had broken during the collision. He didn't have it in him to hurt the woman his life had been centered around.

Angel regained his composure and walked over to Jade placing his hand on her shoulder. He kissed her forehead. Taka started to stand again, this time his body wasn't as compliant. Angel shook his head sadly at the man.

"Why don't you just give it up? You do not have to die! Just leave us be!"

Taka grinned at the man and started to lift his wand.

"Avada Kedavra!" green light fired from Angel's wand towards Taka.

Taka whipped his wand around and the column behind him moved directly in the fire of the curse that had just been fired from Angel's wand. The column shattered each piece catching flame.

"Silly man, it will take more than that to kill me!" Taka's wand came forward and the blast that fired from it was invisible. Jade and Angel were thrown in opposite directions. Taka's wand pointed down at Angel and he cried, "Crucio!"

Angel's back arched as pain swam through his muscles--through his veins. His eyes felt as though someone were poking them with little needles. He twitched as his muscles locked up form the pain of the magic coursing from Taka's wand; Angel wanted to scream but couldn't find his voice.

"And so it ends, Angel O'Conner the man who ruined my entire life."

Green light fired from Taka's wand without him having even muttered the command. Angel's body stopped moving immediately. His eyes were open in pain, his face contorted with agony. Takamaru laughed as he turned towards Jade. During the turn he apparated leaving nothing but a bloody mist in the air.

"NO!" cried Jade as she ran over to Angel's body, scooping his head into her arms. She felt overcome by nausea. Her vision was doubling as she couldn't believe that everything she knew had just fallen apart at that exact moment.

"Dear god…" came a voice from behind her. Tabitha dropped to her knees grabbing Angel's left hand in her own. Tears started flowing freely down her cheeks as she sat staring at the man she had loved--her best friend--laying dead before her.

Taka's laugh still resonated through the wedding courtyard.
