Soon, they returned to Hogwarts again after the Holidays during which Harry let Hermione study the device he'd brought back from Jade's hideout.

"Any good news today?" Harry asked as they were heading towards their first class for the day."

"If you'll consider it good news", Hermione said. "I found out, that it's a tracking device. It tracks people based off their genetic code."

"Uh, and that means?" Harry dodged a couple of first-years almost running into him.

"For goodness sake Harry, it means people can easily find you using only a drop of your blood or a strand of hair! If Jade have more of them, there's no wonder how Ron found out who you were."

"Well there's one hell of a security risk."

"Says the one using a map basically doing the same thing", Hermione said with a smile.

"Yeah well, I don't try to blow people up."

After a long day of work, they headed towards the Great Hall for dinner through corridors filled with rushing students.

"Hey, no running in the corridors", Hermione warned a group of first-years in Gryffindor as they ran by, but they came quickly to a halt. "If I see you running again, I'm taking points away. Understood?"

The group of first-years nodded nervously before they were on their way again.

Harry snickered.

She looked at him with a slight annoying look. "What?"

"Nothing. I usually just don't catch you in the prefect-act."

She shook her head as they were heading towards the exit of the corridor. "Oh, stop it."

Harry couldn't help but grin. But his grin slowly died away when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stopped in his tracks and quickly looked around him.

Hermione grabbed him by the shoulder. "Trouble?"

It was something big, heading this direction. But where?

"Harry?"

He turned around towards the windows, and the roof. It was coming from above.

"Get out! Get out now!" he pushed Hermione out of the door-way as the roof came collapsing down.

He reacted in split-seconds, webbing a couple of people out before they could get hit by the debris.

With a loud crash, something huge landed in the dust.

"It's going to be fine", Hermione said as she was helping the people up from the floor.

The mask and gloves had to make do; he had no time to change into full costume right now.

He looked over his shoulder at Hermione, who stared back at him, terrified.

"Get out of here!"

She quickly nodded and hurried away with the smaller group.

"Okay, big guy let's…"

He looked at the big creature, who ominously towered above him as it stood up. It was bigger than a half-giant, with green spiky skin covering it's body and engulfed in flames.

"Oh, wow. I'm actually so scared right now that I can't even finish my sentence."

A big, flaming fist swung at him, which he narrowly dodged and zipping himself to the wall. He tossed his shoes and socks to the side along with his robe.

"Hey do you by any chance have marshmallows?" he dodged another punch, breaking a hole into the wall. "What? Now you're telling me you forgot marshmallows?"

As he dodged a few more swings, he stripped down his clothes to his full costume.

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat but, I have things to do."

He threw himself at the monster with a punch ready, only to getting swatted away out of the window by the back of a hand. As he was falling, his reflexes took hold and he swung his way to a tower, with the flaming creature following him.

Fireballs flew above his head as he dodged them. "Whoa! I can feel the heat from here!"

Landing on the tower, he quickly looked around him. But there was not a sign of neither flames or a big green creature.

"What? How did he…? I swear he was right behind me."

Harry climbed around the tower, desperately looking for the creature.

"Please, I'm not going to hurt you. Me and spicy things really don't go along that well."

Out of the darkness, the monster suddenly threw itself at him before he could react, taking a part of the tower with it.

Helplessly, he flew through the air while desperately attempting to struggle himself out of the hold the monster had of him but to no use.

"Potter…" the monster snarled in a voice close to something that resembled a volcano rumbling, while they were diving to certain death.

Harry was paralyzed, staring back at the creature in shock; it knew his name.

With all his strength, he finally managed to punch his way out, making the creature impulsively throw him right through the Great Hall's roof.

In panic, as Harry was falling, he attempted to break the fall but his web-shooter's only made a clicking noise. His panic rose as wooden splinters were raining around him.

"No, no, no. Not now, not…"

He fell straight down into one of the tables with a loud crash, breaking it in pieces. The pain that came along with it, was sudden and paralyzing. He didn't know how he was still alive, or even able to move his limbs.

Somewhere in the background he heard the monster landing. Along with it came screams and people running for their lives.

Harry looked at one of the shocked students, who stared at him with frozen expressions. "Hi. Mind if I take a nap? I could use it."

He groaned from the pain as he stumbled himself up on his feet. Something was definitely broken – yup, something was broken.

Slowly he began to approach the monster with his entire body throbbing with pain, with every nerve screaming in agony.

"C'mon", he said between a few pained breaths. "I can…", he stumbled a few steps up to the monster, preparing himself for the fight. "I can do this all day."

He coughed up blood in his mask. "What are you waiting for?"

The pain was starting to take its toll on him, because he lost his balance and fell on all four, but got up again pretty fast.

"Let's go."

He landed an uppercut, a jab and dodged one of the giant arms swinging around at him.

"Body… broken", Harry mumbled while jumping around the monster, trying to get in as many hits as he could even if it didn't leave a scratch.

"Potter is weak", the creature chuckled.

"I'm sorry… ugh, are you trying to talk? Because all I'm getting is this noise…"

An arm slammed right into him, knocking him into a wall and down on the floor with a thud.

"He's getting killed! You've got to do something, please!" a voice yelled in the distance.

The monster grabbed him with his flaming hand, lifting him up in the air.

"Finally…", the monster whispered.

While the fire was licking through the suit, he attempted to struggle free. "Can we talk about this…?"

"No talking."

The green creature tossed him into the wall behind him so hard he finally blacked out.

AUTHORS END NOTES

Only you can prevent Spider-Man fires!

If you didn't know who that was who just kicked Harry's butt, that's the Ultimate Goblin from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics.

But who he is? I'll let you guess. It's not who you think it is.

In fact, there's a lot more references thrown around the entire story - mostly Marvel related. See if you can find them.
