Chapter 57: Clash of Wands
"I'm sorry, you jump out of the window of your room?" Amelia Bones frowned. "From what I know you do not live in a single story house."
"That is correct ma'am." Harry nodded.
"So how did you jump out and not injure yourself?"
"I cast an arresto momentum on myself to slow myself down so I wouldn't fall at a high speed and injure myself." Harry answered. "Anyway when I jumped out I immediately began firing spells at whoever this guy was. We ended up exchanging spells and then my house was damaged and the guy ran away."
"My client is willing to submit a pensive memory." Ted Tonks said, surprising everyone. Harry knew that he was looking very good in the eyes of everyone as he not only supported having a neutral judge but also willing to submit a memory of the event. It was not a common thing to do as the person had to willingly submit a memory but to do so pretty much meant that the person was so confident of their innocence that they didn't mind showing everyone what happened.
"Very well." Madam Marchbanks said, "bring in the pensive." she ordered. "We will take a short break while it is being prepared."
"So Sirius," Harry said after standing up and walking to Sirius. "you alright?"
"I'm doing good kiddo," Sirius nodded. "hopefully this'll be over soon. Though I got to be honest I am sort of looking forward to watching you fight, I mean not at all happy with you getting hurt or anything, but I would love to see you in action. Maybe after I can give you some pointers and tips to make things easier for next time."
"Maybe." Harry chuckled.
"Harry," Dumbledore said. "do forgive me but I think it might be best if you do not show the pensive memory just yet."
"Why not?" Harry raised an eyebrow.
"As I have not yet seen the memory I cannot comment on what had happened and therefore I cannot tell you the consequences of showing it." Dumbledore responded.
"Perhaps but any consequences I will deal with." Harry said. "Sirius," Harry said to Sirius before Dumbledore could respond. "I am going to go flirt with Tonks." Harry said before walking away and up to Tonks. "Hey Tonks."
"Wotcher Harry," Tonks grinned. "what's up?"
"Oh Dumbledore was trying to convince me not to show the memory for one reason or another and I decided I'd rather talk with you than listen to him." Harry replied.
"I feel so very honoured." Tonks said dryly.
"As well you should." Harry responded. Harry and Tonks talked for a couple more minutes before Harry had to return to his seat when the pensive was brought in.
"Alright Mr Potter, put the memory in and we shall watch." Madam Marchbanks said.
"Alrighty then." Harry said before he placed the memory in the pensive. The wizard in charge of it tapped the bowl with his wand, the water rose into the air and took a circle shape before it began playing the memory for all to see.
Harry was sat in bed, reading a book when suddenly his room began shaking.
"What the fuck?" Harry whispered to himself before he put the book down and stood up, he walked to his window. Harry looked out the window to find Apophis shooting spells at the house. "Damn." Harry said, his face turning serious. "Hedwig," Harry said as he turned to his owl. "as soon as I leave the room you fly out and get to safety, got it?" The owl hooted before nodding. "Good girl." Harry said before he took a step back, he flicked his wand and the windows opened.
Harry ran and jumped out the window, pointing his wand at himself and casting the 'Arresto Momentum' spell to slow him down, as soon as Harry was in the air he began firing spell after spell at Apophis. Apophis had seen him and began backing away and shielding at the same time to protect himself from the spells. Harry landed on the ground and aimed his wand at Apophis.
"So, do I know you?" Harry asked in a casual voice. "What do you want?" Apophis did not answer. "Silent type huh? Or are you just deaf? What...do...you...want?"
"You, dead at my feet, that is what I want." Apophis answered.
"Yeah well sorry to disappoint you buddy but I am pretty sure that there is line you will have to wait in, and again sorry but I don't really plan on dying soon."
"What you want does not matter, you will die by my hand."
"And if I cut those hands off?" Harry raised an eyebrow.
"You'd still die." Apophis replied before he fired a spell at Harry.
Harry side stepped before he shot a cutter that Apophis blocked, Apophis shot several spells that Harry blocked or dodged, both were using non-verbal magic to up the difficulty. Apophis shot a coma curse at Harry who dodged before sending a bone breaker and cutting curse. Apophis blocked both and sent a trio of daggers at Harry who quickly transformed the daggers into birds. The birds flew towards Apophis only to be cut down by a trio of cutting curses, Apophis blocked a stunner and jumped back to avoid a bone breaker that was aimed at his feet.
Apophis shot a trio of spells at Harry, first was a bone breaker followed by a cutting curse and then a cruciatus curse. Harry blocked the bone breaker and the cutting curse before barely managing to jump out the way of the torture curse. Harry jabbed his wand forward, producing a blinding light right before he span his wand and shot a spiraling flame whip that headed straight towards Apophis. However Apophis recovered fast enough to wave his wand and get rid of it.
Harry shot a metal spike at Apophis who quickly waved his wand and transformed the spike into a snake right before he sent it back at Harry, Harry quickly vanished the snake before blocking an organ liquifying curse, however his shield was then destroyed by a shield breaker which forced him to duck so he could avoid the killing curse that followed.
"You know...this is sort of fun." Harry said before he shot a blasting curse and a body bind at Apophis. Apophis quickly dealt with both before he jabbed his wand at Harry and sent a blast of flames at Harry, spiraling as they charged towards him. Harry quickly froze the flames, turning them into ice which fell onto the floor and shattered into pieces. Harry ducked one purple spell before he shot a fireball at Apophis.
Harry had followed up with a high powered obliviation charm which would render an opponent unable to remember quite a lot including why they were there and perhaps even spells depending on how strong the blast was. Apophis side stepped and shot a blinding light at Harry just as Harry shot a sound wave, Harry protected his eyes while Apophis protected his ears.
"Nobody would blame you if you surrendered." Harry said before ducking under an orange spell. Apophis sent a couple of razor wired ropes at Harry who managed to defend against them with a shield, Harry jabbed his wand at Apophis's direction and sent a gust of wind which Apophis blocked with his own shield.
Apophis sent a cutting curse at Harry, Harry jumped to the side even though the curse went wide, Harry shot a blasting curse at Apophis's just as he felt a cut appear on the side of his face. Harry rolled under another spell and quickly performed a healing spell to fix the small cut so it would not distract him.
"Neat trick." Harry said before he fired a spell at Apophis's feet. Apophis's moved out the way but the exploding ground sent him to the floor. Apophis's quickly rolled out of the way of several spells before shielding against another right before he shot a torture curse to give him enough time to get to his feet.
