by ACreatureCalledLust

A young, rich and arrogant wizard visits Hogsmeade in his travels to get a taste of the local women. All those in his path are misled and abused, until there is one ghost of his past he cannot escape.

2. Scene I: The duel

"LET ME GO!"

At this, another person stepped out onto terrace. "Ginny!" he yelled out.

She turned her head. "Neville!"

Neville drew his wand and pointed it at Sir John, trembling with anger. "Let her go and defend yourself!"

Sir John released the tight grip on Ginny's wrists to pull out his wand, at which Ginny pulled herself loose and ran inside the castle to get Harry.

"A duel?" Sir John said mockingly. "I suggest you leave right now, or you will get hurt."

"I'm not a coward!" Neville exclaimed. "You were assaulting Ginny, I will not let you go!"

"I'm warning you..." Sir John said.

"EXPELLIAR-" Neville started, but Sir John interrupted him: "PROTEGO!"

With immense force, Neville was launched backwards, against the stone wall of the castle. His head hit a massive protruding rock, after which his body fell to the ground. It collapsed in an akward position and remained there, motionless.

"Foolish boy," Sir John said, looking at the blood trickling out of the boy's head, slowly forming a dark puddle on the terrace floor. "Now you are dead and I have a murder on my hands. You tricked me into a duel."

Leo stepped out of his place in the darkness. "You are going to regret this. You killed a boy who came to the aid of a girl you were trying to get into bed."

"It was the boy who insisted on fighting," objected Sir John.

"And did the girl also insist on getting into bed with you?" asked Leo, scornfully.

"Be silent!" Sir John bit at Leo. "Or do you also insist upon fighting?"

"Oh no, of course not! Excuse me, I should not have said a thing" Leo replied quickly.

"That's what I thought," said Sir John. "Now let us leave quickly."

The two men disappeared into the darkness.
