Chapter 104: The Inventive Curse
"Silence!" Voldermort ordered, the death eaters actually stood back a little bit out of fear, Harry didn't seem to be fazed at all.
"Tommy" Harry sighed mockingly "such terrible manners, I guess they never taught you politeness at the muggle orphanage you grew up in"
"You're trying my patience Potter" Voldermort spoke in a cold and deadly voice
"Actually I'm trying to annoy you" Harry smirked "hey Tom, how about a duel?"
"A duel?"
"Yes, between you and me. I'd like to prove I'm better than you"
"You better than me" Voldermort responded with a chilling chuckle
"Yes I am" Harry confidently replied "if you don't believe me then allow me to prove it, unless you're scared of me winning. I'd understand, it'd be embarrassing losing to the same person three times in a row, especially when said person hasn't even had his owl exams yet"
"I could kill you" Voldermort smiled
"So could another human being" Harry replied "so could a lion, or a dog or even a very dedicated bird. You're not special."
"Very well" Voldermort took a few steps back "Wormtail give him his wand" Wormtail did as he was instructed and gave Harry his wand before freeing him.
"Thank you" Harry stood up "although I have to admit, it's disappointing that my biggest enemy is surrounded by so many hopeless idiots that this fat rat is the best he can find. Oh well, let's get this over with"
"I will enjoy silencing you" Voldermort smiled coldly
"You'd probably also enjoy beating me, but that's just another thing that's not going to happen today. You see there is a reason I am better than you"
"Oh, what reason?"
"I have a nose" Harry tapped his nose with his free hand, almost to prove it was there "and the fact that I beat you twice already, but mostly the nose thing. I hope you don't take offence, well actually I do, please take offence. "
"Enough talk, I trust you know how to duel?"
"Oh yeah" Harry nodded "I know how they work, we bow, then we start and then I obliterate you in front of your followers." The death eaters were quite puzzled by Harry, they were amazed that the boy could so confidently claim he was going to win when he was up against the dark lord himself.
"Just bow" Voldermort ordered, Voldermort ever so slightly bowed while Harry mockingly bowed to him but wisely kept his eyes on him the whole time.
"Crucio" Voldermort fired the first spell, Harry effortlessly dodged before flicking his wand at Voldermort. A small stone flew straight at Voldermorts head, Voldermort swatted it away but then realised that his face hurt, he realised he was bleeding. Blood dripped from his right cheek, did Potter manage to hit him with a cutting curse? Looking at his smug face, Voldermort assumed he did.
"Well Potter, I must admit, I'm impressed. You're faster than I thought, to hit me with a curse, you must be proud"
"Not really" Harry shrugged "you don't seem that impressive to me. I feel that you're power has been greatly exaggerated by your followers, my girlfriend could provide me with a better fight than you"
Voldermort fired another curse which Harry effortlessly swat away, Harry returned with his own curse which narrowly missed Voldermort when he dodged. Voldermort fired two more which Harry dodged, Harry then shot a cutting curse at Voldermort. Voldermort swatted it away.
"What is this?" Voldermort asked with an amused voice "you aimed that curse right at my throat, Harry, are you actually trying to kill me?"
"Of course I am" Harry answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world "what do you think I'm like Dumbledore? You think I'd just stun you and throw you in Azkaban? No, no, no! We both know you're far beyond redemption, we know all the people in this graveyard are beyond redemption. I have no problems with killing the lot of you"
"You? Kill us?!" One of the death eaters laughed, Voldermort was about to hit him with the torture curse for interrupting but was surprised when blood poured out of a hole in his throat. The death eater fell to the floor, life draining out of his eyes, Voldermort looked and saw Potter had his wand pointed at the dead body.
"Do you like that?" Harry asked, with pride in his voice "that's a spell I invented, it's called 'velox iecit', I made it based off of muggle guns. Works just the same as one, even has rapid fire modes and everything. Allow me to show you, 'multi velox iecit'."
All the death eaters ducked to the floor as multiple blasts shot out of Harrys wand quicker than they could count, two more of them died. Voldermort summoned up a brick wall to protect himself, he was surprised when Harrys bullets damaged the wall so much.
"So" Voldermort banished the wall "you have one or two tricks, don't think they will help you beat me boy"
"I think me being better than you is what will help me beat you"
Harry and Voldermort exchanged a few spells, each spell being blocked or batted away, Voldermort was getting increasingly frustrated. He couldn't comprehend how Potter was matching him, he was the dark lord and most feared wizard in the world yet he was being matched by a fourteen year old. He also noticed that he was getting tired quickly, that didn't make sense, he could easily duel twice as long without getting tried before and his spells had nowhere near the same amount of power he usually had. Unless…unless Wormtail messed up the ritual.
