Authors Notes: L No reviews. (sighs). However I have been fortunate enough to have a few people add my story to their alert list J So I'm guessing someone is reading. Hope you enjoy this chapter. It has been in my mind since I started writing this and have gone over it many times making changes and all that. So I hope it lives up to your expectation! Anyway all characters are owned by JK and WB and not by me.
Chapter 19: The Battle for the Greater Good
With a swirl of his cloak Albus disappeared as the jet of green light flew into a building, shattering the brick from which the building was constructed. Shards of brick flew into the crowed as people screamed, diving for cover. Reappearing behind Grindelwald, Albus, twirled his wand twice in a small circle then flicked his wand, as if trying to get a fly off the tip. A cascade of bright yellow pulsating ball of light erupted from his wand. Grindelwald turned just in time to slash his own wand at the yellow ball flying at him. The sound of rushing wind collided with the ball of bright yellow. A loud sound erupted as the two spells hit each other, like the sound of gun blast in an enclosed area. Windows nearest the two dueling wizards shook violently. But even as the resounding noise was still echoing, Albus sent another spell to Gellert who was taken by surprise. Not even having enough time to disappariate he simply fell to the ground as the spell passed millimeters above him, the air behind the spell rustling his hair. With a loud crack he disapparated until he was to Albus's right. Albus was ready. A jet of green light met a jet of bright blue right. Colliding they erupted into a shower of, had it not been a duel to the death, a beautiful display of colors.
The two wizards continued to send spells back at each other. The ground beneath the two wizards started to split and shift as the powerful spells erupted out of the wands. Cement fractured and began to glow red, encircling both men. The people who surrounded the duelers stood in awe at the show of power between the two majestic figures. There came a time in the duel when the desperation in Grindelwald's face made it clear who the duel was beginning to favor.
There was a pause in the battle. Dumbledore let his eyes pierce the man standing in front of him. "I will give you one last chance, Gindlewald, put your wand down." Grindlewald just laughed. His steel gray curls that adorned his head shook as he laughed. Shaking his head as if had I just told a good jest, "No, Dumbeledore, I will give you once last chance. Run away, or join your sister. I would really hate to wipe out the pathetic life of another Dumbledore." Grindlewald smiled as he twitched the hand which held a wand. "I have it, you know it, I found it, so...step back, Dumbledore, this is not your fight."
Albus let out a small sigh. Raising his wand above his head and bring it down, all the power he could muster behind the spell...the duel restated. But it would not last long.
The end came with such swiftness it took all by surprise. Gellert had slashed his wand at Albus who disappeared and appeared to behind Grindelwald and as Grindelwald turned to face him Albus appeared back to where he had stood before. Pointing his wand at Gellert who had turned to face Dumbeldore and had pointed his own wand at Dumbledore, Albus yelled at the top of his lungs, "Fulguris!" A blinding jagged white light, looking like lightning shot out of Dumbledore's wand and straight at Grindelwald. Grindelwald fell to the ground, his wand flying through the air to a new master. Dumbledore caught the wand deftly and walked to the prone figure on the ground. Not hearing or seeming to care as people started to scream and yell in celebration, Albus bent low to where Grindelwald lay, unable to move.
