A Musicians Battle Chapter 2: Freedom and One Last Performance, a harry potter fanfic

Freedom and One Last Performance

And we are back with chapter 2! One thing that I didn't explain in the last chapter was that I was upping the timeline year wise. This story starts in 2010 and Hogwarts first year age starts at 13 so Damien is supposed to be in his fifth year but as explained is being sent into year four. The plan was to always start this story during the Triwizard Tournament. Was a little sad to see no reviews on the last chapter I honestly wanted to see what you guys thought of the story so far and what you were expecting to see from it. Thank you for all the follows and favorites on the story though. On another note I will be rewriting The Other Potters and uploading them in conjunction with this story on alternating days when I don't have to deal with work or school since I just started going back and I'm in my second semester. But on to the show! Oh and I don't own anything except my OCs.

The next morning came with anticipation on whether he was actually going to get out or not. He started his day out like normal with the rest of the guys. As sat on his bed, he looked around and noticed the others and how he really didn't attempt to try and get to know anyone there with him. He was always a loner there only really talking to the supervisors and only when he needed to. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and looked back down at his notebook. He had a new idea for a song to do and it was coming along nicely. Lost in his own world he never noticed Lord Black and Madam Bones entering the room with the supervisor to come and retrieve him. They walked up to him as he was lost in the moment nodding his head to an unknown beat writing what came to him. Madam Bones was about to call out to him to get his attention but the supervisor quickly stopped her.

When she raised her eyebrow to see why he stopped her he just shook his at her. "The last time someone got him out of his groove when he was in the zone writing like that he broke their nose. Give him a second and he'll be out of it."

This made both of them raise their eyebrows at this. To be so in the zone doing something that he snapped on someone for messing with him while he was like that was unheard of. "I've actually been working on that Randy. I may not be hyper aware of what's going on around me as I write but I don't tune the entire world out, just what isn't in my immediate vicinity." He said shocking them while not even looking up from his notepad. "I take it you're here to take me home?" he asked finally looking up at the group.

The group nodded at him in affirmative and he started to grab all of his belongings while everyone watched him. It didn't take him long as he didn't have a lot of things there.

"How is he getting out early?" A random voice asked though he got no response as the group just ignored him. The group exited the building and Damien took the time to embrace the fact that he was finally out.

"So how did you manage to get me out three months early?" he questioned after a moment.

"We told them that you would be transferring to another facility for your last three months, not that it will be happening mind you. The plan is to go straight to your godmother's house so you can get settled in. This way you can see your daughter as soon as you can." Madam Bones said with a smile. "If possible, I'd like to introduce you to my niece Susan, that way you can know someone before you start at Hogwarts. We will also have to meet with the headmaster to get you registered to attend."

"And if he denies my enrollment?" He asked with his eyebrow raised.

"Won't happen." This time it was Arcturus that answered, running his fingers through his greyed goatee. "Albus won't deny a member of a Most Ancient and Most Noble house enrollment into Hogwarts, especially if that person is an heir to the house. The only thing that you would have to worry about is him trying to collect you like he did with so many other including your father, but that might not be the case anymore."

Now this got Damiens attention, but he refrained from answering on it, waiting to get to a better location. "And where are we headed now?" he asked as they walked down the street towards the shopping center.

"We are going to get you some actual clothes instead of whatever it is you are wearing right now." Arcturus stated looking at the outfit he was wearing currently which was still the uniform that he had to wear in juvie, not having been brought anything to change into. "As I'm pretty sure you don't want to continue wearing what you are wearing right now."

Damien nodded and continued to walk to their destination. As they walked, he looked around and saw people going about their lives. He saw people skateboarding to people just hanging out with their friends joking and laughing down the street. When people saw him, they looked at them with concern due to his outfit with one person even pulling out their phones to call the police thinking that he was someone who escaped jail. "Yes, that would be a good idea. I'm starting to get some weird looks from everyone, plus I'm pretty sure one person just called the police on us."

The other two started looking around and saw what he was talking about, then decided that it would be best to hurry along their route to the mall. As they arrived and entered, they drew even more looks, especially with Amelia and Arcturus looking lost. Damien noticing this, decided to take the lead and headed straight for his go to store before a thought caught his mind. Turning to the two he asked, "How are you planning on paying for this because I'm not sure if you have muggle money on you two, and I don't know how much I have on my card since I don't have my phone anymore."

Arcturus shook his head, "Don't worry about it. I converted over $400 worth of galleons to get you some clothes. As for your phone, it wouldn't matter as you wouldn't be able to use it at Hogwarts due to the magic interfering with it. Plus, there are no cell towers in the area."

Damein nodded his head and headed into Pure Atlanta to get his clothes. That amount of money would be enough to get him what he needed, which was a new outfit, shoes, and some underwear. Walking through the store he browsed what they had, grabbing what he wanted. Luckily, he even found some underwear, socks, and shoes all in the store as well. He took everything that he had in hand and went to the register to purchase everything with it coming up to a total of $345 shocking the two with him as they paid for it. Afterwards, he asked the cashier if he could use the changing room to change his clothes getting the go ahead. When he exited the store he started drawing eyes from everyone there with his outfit. He decided to get a pair of off-white denim jeans that looked like they had tears all down the legs with a black diamond belt, a white t shirt and black denim jacket with white paint splatters on it and a pair of black Rigola Python sneakers. It would've cost more, but he used a wandless confundus charm to get the lady to give it to him cheaper. His next stop was a jeweler to get a new pair of earrings since he no longer had his, deciding on a pair of black diamond studs. He turned to the other two stating that he was finished and enjoying their shocked faces at how he dressed.

As they walked towards the exit, Damien heard some music coming from a stage that someone had set up. He decided to go and see what was going on drawing looks from the other two with him, but they decided to follow him to see what would happen. As he got closer to the area, he heard someone on stage talking to the crowd.

"Good afternoon, everyone! My name is DJ Smooth, and I'm looking to see who out there wants to come up here and try your hand at one of these beats with a chance to get your song recorded." The man on stage started shouting. "So, I ask you out there who wants to give it a shot!?" Damien, seeing that no one would go up decided that it would be a good way to send himself out of Atlanta with a bang, decided to go up drawing shocked looks from Arcturus and Amelia. "Oh! I see we have a taker! What's your name kid?"

Damien came and grabbed the mic, "They call me Demi. Figured this would be a good way to spend my last day in Atlanta so let's see what beat you got for me."

This made the DJ laugh, "Oh trying to send yourself off with a bang huh? Well, I got just the thing for you. Let's see what you do with this then." He started playing a beat that made Damien start to nod his head to. Listening to it for a little bit he asked the DJ to start the song over since he had something for it.

(Play The Greatest by Futuristic)

Yo, I'm the most underrated
Everybody say they spitting fire like a dragon
Nigga, watch me come and slay them
Coming from the basement
Double XL, man, I want the cover
There's no way that I'm not in the conversation

After the first verse he had the crowds attention and he started getting into it moving around the stage.

I don't have no patience unless it's patients from playing operation
I'm castrating anybody that's hating
I ain't tryna be famous
I'm just tryna make payments from what I'm making
I'm frustrated, 'bout to go Super Saiyan
And I'm causing mayhem when I rap
I got a coffin in the back

And if you talking then the coffin's where you at
I'm sick, I be coughing on the track
I'm exhausted from the raps
I'm tryna kick it with a broad that's on the map
Shit, make her squirt like the hole that's in the dolphin on his back
I gotta be cautious on the track

And I've been to Boston, been in Austin, been in Compton and then back, where I'm at
It sounded like auction when I snap
Snapback and a backpack
Jean Vest with a fat patch
WTF Gang hashtag
I guess I'll smoke, nigga, pass that
Taking shots, duck, nigga, Aflac

Cash stacks, no Kat Stacks, never paying to smash that
If the ass fat then I treat her like a car
I be all in it, might take her on a trip
But before I drop it off I gotta wax that
Finders is keepers, I'm all in they speakers, the word getting out

That boy Futuristic been spitting like he chew tobacco all up in his mouth
I don't need a deal, got a whip and a chain
And no, I'm not a slave in the south
I got a crib in LA and a crib in AZ, either way I been putting shit down

He started throwing his hands up and down in the air getting the crowd into it as they started getting even more hype as he continued going. As he moved along the stage getting closer to the edge he turned and looked at Arcturus and Amelia seeing them with gobsmacked expressions on how he was able to get the entire crowd to go with him.

I'm the motherfucking greatest
I feel like Muhammad Ali, down goes Frazier
I'm the motherfucking greatest
I feel like Jordan in his prime, I feel like Magic Johnson 1980 Lakers
I'm the motherfucking greatest
Rap game Tony Hawk, I been on the roll like a skater
I'm the motherfucking greatest
Used to be a legend in the making, now I'm feeling like the greatest

Yo, I been snapping like a turtle
Dressed like I'm Urkel
They concerned about me going too commercial
Killing shows without rehearsal
If I'm before you, watch the dispersal
They commited to my lyrics, that's a verbal
Copying everything that I do but you paternal

He started to walk off the stage into the crowd as they started to jump around him loving the music and the song. The DJ was looking at him bobbing his head wondering if he could get this him to stay in the States and sign with a local label, and was already planning on trying to talk him into it.

Pissing on them like a urinal
I been popping like a kernel
I cut everyone out the circle
The only one who's in it like a gerbil
You spoiled niggas is looking kinda curdled (sheesh)

Crafted the style, these young rappers is jocking it
Made a brand, everything I wear, they be rocking it
Only difference is, I ain't copying it, I ain't washing it
I'm rocking it then throw it in the moshpit and watch it get crazy
They be boxing and tryna knock them, acknowledge it
These rappers is garbage, they all lacking confidence
Fishing for compliments, Futuristic predicting dominance
Since I was six and I was still out spitting to college kids

Fuck boy, you a bitch nigga
Leave your face Will Smith off of Hitch, nigga
Couldn't resist to write a diss
But when you saw all of my hits
You threw a fit ain't even put it out
Y'all don't make sense, nigga
I make dollars, you make cents, nigga

Get ate like chips and fish sticks, ya bish, that's Kendrick
Hit your bitch like Chris did, coming at my neck
You gon' get removed like a cyst, nigga
I don't got time for no bullshit
I'm working and doing my thing
If a nigga got beef

He jumped back up onto the stage and really started to get into it. He hit a backflip as he started his next verse sending the crowd even more into a frenzy.

And decide they should speak
Then I finish his ass like Liu Kang
There really ain't shit you could say
When you ain't getting paid in your lane
I am a created player, I put myself in the game

I been working hard, long days and cold nights
I been traveling, I been up on them flights
I been writing flows, dedicating my life
Lost that love I had, now I'm feeling alright
When my grandma passed I was up on the stage
I said, "goodbye", then I lost my way

Been through it all just to get me here and I'm staying
I was a legend in the making, now I'm feeling like the greatest
Now I'm feeling like the greatest
Now I'm feeling like the greatest
Feeling like the greatest

As he finished his song the crowd was going crazy wanting him to perform another song with even the DJ trying to get him to do another, but her just handed him the mic. "That was an amazing performance! Why don't you do another one for us? The crowd is loving you right now."

Damien just smiled and shook his head. "I would but I have someone very important that I have to get back to. This was just my farewell to the great city of Atlanta."

"Well if you're ever back in town and you want to perform again look me up, I'll find a way to fit you in." the DJ said knowing that he wouldn't be able to do anything to get him to stay.

Damien walked off the stage with a smile and walked up to his two companions. Amelia was looking at him in wonder and Arcturus was looking at him in pride. "That was an amazing performance Damien. I must say I was not expecting to see something like that so soon, but it is time to go as we have a portkey to catch."

With that the group left and went straight to the Ministry to take the portkey. As the group arrived in the British Ministry Damien took the time to glance around and see how everything looked and he could safely say he wasn't impressed. It looked like he left the year 2010 and came back into the year 1980. He was brought out of his thoughts as someone came up to them wearing robes and looking at him questioningly.

"Name?"

"Amelia Bones, Arcturus Black, and Damien Black." Amelia answered in a no-nonsense tone.

The man looked up in shock. "Oh, welcome back Madam Bones. Please place the portkey in the bin over there and you can go about your day. She nodded, deposited the portkey and the group made their exit. Damien continued to look around the Ministry and continued to have his expectations fall when it came to magical Britain. The group made their way to the apparition point when they were caught upon by someone that made both Amelia and Arcturus's skin crawl.

"Hem, hem." An obnoxious voice sounded off from behind them.

Amelia put a hand to her face in exasperation hoping to avoid this person. "Oh Merlin no please not today." The group turned around to see what one could say was a monstrosity in human form. Damien himself almost wanted to hurl after seeing so much pink on what looked to be a human toad that was Dolores Umbit- I mean Umbridge flanked by two aurors.

"What a pleasant surprise to see you today, Madam Bones. I wasn't expecting to see you for another day." She stated with a sickly smile on her face. "And clearly didn't think you would come with what appears to be a muggle with you. You should know they aren't allowed in the Ministry being that you are the Director of the DMLE."

Damien not liking being talked about and not addressed directly decided to announce himself, "I'm not a muggle but I do have a question for you."

"Oh? And what would that be?" she asked curiously.

"Who in the absolute fuck allowed you to come in here dressed like a giant bottle of Pepto Bismol? Like seriously, you look like the poster girl for pretty in pink." He stated with a deadpan expression on.

Arcturus and Amelia tried to stifle a laugh as Umbridge's face grew red with rage. "I will have you know that I am the Senior Undersecretary of the Minister of Magic, and I will not have you sit here and try to disrespect me you little muggle brat. Aurors arrest this brat!"

The aurors moved to follow the direction only to meet the stern and pissed look of Madam Bones and Lord Black. "Aurors you move one more step and I will have you on suspension." She replied with a thunderous expression, freezing the two aurors. She then looked at Umbridge, "and for you Dolores have you ever heard of something called abuse of power? You really tried to arrest someone for talking back to you?"

"Add in you must not be able to hear since the boy clearly stated that he wasn't a muggle." This time it was Lord Black that answered in full Lord mode towering over the woman.

"You can tell the boy is lying. Just look at how he is dressed for Merlin's sake what even is this?" she stated in disgust.

"Well sorry if I want to dress comfortably instead of looking like the ugly duckling from an unreleased Barbie movie. And sorry if America has a better sense of fashion than you do. I know six year old kids that can dress better then you do." Damien stated with a blank look on his face.

"Now listen here you little brat. You will talk to me with the respect I deserve." Umbridge stated with a stormy expression on.

"Respect is earned not given you walking pile of waste. Now can me and my grandfather leave? Or do you have some more bullshit to spit out of that mouth of yours?"

This shocked Umbridge as she looked towards Lord Black to see him looking at her with fury on his face. Not even waiting for her response he guided Damien towards the exit and left. As they apparated to his godmother's house with Arcturus still looking furious only to have him burst into laughter, making Damien look at him with an eyebrow raised. He continued to laugh as they walked up to the door knocking on it.

The door opened to show a woman looking at them in wonder seeing Arcturus nearly keeling over in laugher with Damien just staring at him. "Grandfather what are you doing here?"

Arcturus finally composing himself looked at the woman, "hello Andromeda. May we come in?"

The now named Andromeda moved to the side to allow the three to enter her home. As they entered Damien surveyed the room to notice it was a nice and cozy home. Pictures lined the walls depicting Andromeda, her husband, and a daughter. There was one picture though that drew his eye showing Andromeda and her daughter holding and playing with a baby. He smiled at the picture happy that she looked like she was taken care of. He turned to Andromeda with a small smile and asked her a simple question, "Where is she?"

Andromeda raised her eyebrow at this question. "Where is who exactly?"

He just shook his head. "Where is my daughter Aunt Dromeda? I want to see her."

Hearing this made her eyes widen, finally realizing who this was and gave him a small smile. "Oh, it's you Damien. I haven't seen you in years since you were a still a child. I was sorry to hear about your mother, but I'm happy to see you back looking for her. Follow me." She started walking up the stairs with him following. Amelia and Arcturus decided to stay downstairs to give them some time alone.

The two walked in silence as they traversed the house to a room with the door cracked. They entered to see a baby sleeping in its crib. Damien immediately went to the crib with a smile on his face and a few tears leaking from his eyes. "Hey beautiful how have you been? You don't have to worry anymore. Daddy's home and he's not going anywhere again. I'll always be here for you."

Kurama Sage: And there you have it chapter 2 is in the books with a heartfelt reunion between father and daughter.

Damien: sniffle, sniffle

Kurama Sage:…..are you crying right now?

Damien: Shut up! I just saw my daughter for the first time in a year! Of course I'm crying right now!

Andromeda: I mean he does have a point. It is an emotional reunion.

Sirius: She has a point I would be crying too.

Kurama Sage: ….

Damien: ….

Andromeda: ….

Sirius: What?

Kurama Sage: Know what I'm not even going to entertain this right now. See you next time everyone!
