Hey everybody TheTrueBard here! I know a lot of you probably think that I had abandoned this, but the truth is that I was planning on doing a mass update that would have put us well into the war with Voldemort, however my laptop died and in doing so it wiped the next 10 chapters I had written and brutally mauled my muse, that said I decided to sit down today and write this as a good faith gesture to my readers to show that I haven't abandoned my story, sorry if it's a bit short of underwhelming. With no further delay, the final part of the fight rewrite!
Also note that as I said in earlier chapters I have very bad dyslexia causing me to miss spell words and other things like how/who, there/their/they're and defiantly/definitely among others and I also have no Beta for my stories so I try my best to fix my errors on my own you don't like it don't read my stories.
Thanks to all the people that took time out of there day to read this story and a giant thanks to all that reviewed the last chapter and all other chapters before it, your review are what keep me writing, I actually was contemplating abandoning this story and writing all together a while ago but a few kind reviews made me continue so once again thank you!
THIS WILL REMAIN POSTED FOR ONE WEEK BEFORE I MERGE THEM TOGETHER AND POST IT AS THE COMPLETED CHAPTER!
With what could only be magically assisted speed The Inner Circle Death Eater had covered the distance between him and Harry in less then a second and swung his halbard.
Harry barely ducked under the swing as he tried to create some distance between himself and Death Eater. This Death Eater was nothing like the others Harry had fought, he was a veteran and a certifiable master when it came to fighting with his halberd which the Death Eater proved as he reversed his first strike and slashed his halberd diagonally at Harry without losing the speed or power of his original strike, all in less then a second. Instincts honed from hours of practice was the only thing that stoped the Death Eaters halberd from ending Harry's life, using speed augmented by his own body magic Harry brought up his conjoured katana to block the strike. Deflecting the first hit, Harry was shocked to see the Death Eater's weapon cut into his katana causing a crack to appear in his katana's blade.
'Impossible…. Even if it's conjured this katana could match any ever forged! It shouldn't have be able too crack with all the magic I've poured into it.'
"I see you have noticed. My halberd was a gift from the Dark Lord himself! Using it I never even have to use a wand to cast spells!" The Death Eater said with pride. Manoeuvring his halberd blade in an arc and sending it back at Harry, the Death Eater noticed with glee that his foe had started backpedalling away quickly. "It's very wise of you to run, because blocking is futile."
Not bothering to reply to the Death Eater Harry launched a white hot fireball at the Death Eater; even if the Death Eater blocked it Harry hoped that the heat generated by the fireball would be enough for the Death Eater to drop his weapon at the very least.
The Death Eater didn't even so much as blink as he used the flat of his halberds large blade to casually bat Harrys deadly spell into a nearby wall, watching as the flames from the spell melted some of the wall to molten slag.
"Do you think you're the first to ever try and get me to drop my axe?" The Death Eater asked as he looked away from the molten slag.
"Not really. But it was worth a shot and it distracted you long enough for me to create these!" Harry replied as he transfigured several grapefruit sized iron balls and charmed them to attack the Death Eater, his fatigued mind having taken inspiration from his earlier fight with the other Death Eaters.
"This isn't bloody Quidditch!." The Death Eater yelled angrily before dodging Harry's attack.
"Your right! In Quidditch the balls don't EXPLODE!" Harry yelled as he hastily transfigured a defensive wall.
"Oh, bugger…" The Death Eater muttered as the handful of metal balls of death surrounded him begain glowing brighter by the second.
The following explosion engulfed him in a ball of white light; Harry had packed so much power into his attack in a last ditch effort to kill the halberd wielding Death Eater that everything in a fifty foot radius of the blast was reduced to a smocking crater.
Harry staggered from what was left of his make shift protection, it hadn't been able to withstand the blast and had been destroyed, only Harrys hasty cast Sanguis Contego saved him from be brunt of the explosion, the wall of summoned blood buckled but didn't shatter until after the danger had past. It had cost Harry almost his entire reserve of magic but he was positive that the Inner Circle had met his death in the heart of the explosion.
Confident in his victory Harry let his guard dropped to one knee out of breath.
Suddenly the noise of metal hitting stone drew Harrys attention, lunging to the left Harry barely avoided the sickly green curse that would have ended his life otherwise.
Looking to were the noise had come from Harry was shocked to see the Death Eater standing once again not more then a hundred yards away from him.
Harry noted that the Death Eater was looking a little worse off then he had last seen him, his robe was singed and tattered his skull mask was partially broken exposing a cruel brown, bloodshot eye and a handful of black matted hair.
The Death Eater was also bleeding from a number of wounds but he still stubbornly held onto his halberd.
With a look of pure rage the Death Eater pointed his halberd in Harry's direction before bellowing, "Avada Kedavra!"
The jet of deadly green light leapt from the end of the Death Eaters halberd and barrelled towards Harrys prone form.
Harry was officially too exhausted to dodge, the non stop fighting and the fatigue was finally catching up to him. Urging what little magic he had left into his limiters seals Harry waited until the Avada Kedavra drew closer before yelling, "Sanguis Contego!" Harrys vision swarmed with black dots s the wall of blood solidified into a barrier in front of him.
The Avada Kedavra harmlessly dissipated against the wall of blood before it to shattered, evaporating from the excess magic coursing through it.
The last thought that crossed Harrys mind before he was blasted into unconsciousness by the Death Eaters following banishing spell was; this is probably going to hurt… a lot.
Walden Macnair was not having a good day; it was meant to be a nice easy relaxing afternoon. Lead the new recruits and a group of seasoned Death Eaters on a raid of Daigon alley and watch as they slaughtered, maimed and killed… among other things, maybe even joining in later but then this tosser showed up. At first he has impressed by the wizards skill and power, enough to even offer him a place at the Dark Lords side and then it all went to hell and then the bloody git tried to BLOW HIM UP! Would have worked too if he hadn't managed to apparate out in a nick of time.
Any other day Macnair would have taken the unconscious wizard hostage and helped to torture him for information on the weird spell he had used to block his Avada Kedavra, but with his vision damaged by the explosion just enough to make him dismiss Harrys shield as a conjured wall Macnair had only one thing on his mind; kill the bastard and making him suffer as he did it!
Hobbling over towards the wizard's prone form Macnair kicked the unconscious wizard as hard as he could in the chest; just to make sure he was really unconscious and then again just to be on the safe side smiling savagely as he felt Harrys ribs break under his assault before pointing his halberd at him and muttering "Petrificus Totalus!" Macnair wasn't taking any chances with this wizard; he was a dangerous foe… for a mudblood at least. "Attero!" Even if the unconscious wizard managed to escape from him his last curse would end if life slowly, painfully and most of all he would die magicless, not that he had any plans of letting the mudblood escape mind you. The Attero would make sure of that at the very least. With that thought putting a smile on his face Macnair was ready to make the foolish wizard in front of him beg for mercy.
"Rennervate."
Harry groaned in pain as his eyes fluttered open, standing above him with a mad glint in his eye was the halberd wielding Death Eater and even worse Harry found he couldn't move Oh god, let it be a spell, I really hope I haven't broken my spine. Harry thought grimly as he tried once again to move.
"I'm going to enjoy making you scream mudblood, Crucio!" The Death Eater said as he pointed his halberd towards Harry's prone form.
Harry could do nothing as the Unforgivable slammed into him; Harry writhed on the ground screaming in pain as the Death Eater above him relished in his agony.
"You are a skilled wizard I'll give you that, but do you know what I noticed during our fight?" The Death Eater asked as he aimed his halberd at the injured wizard before him. "You cast your spells with your right hand, Reducto!" The Death Eater roared with laughter as Harry screamed in pain, the Reducto having shattered the rotator cup in his right arm.
"Oh! I'm sorry; here let me help you with that!" The Death Eater mocked as he grabbed Harrys injured arm and swung his halberd. The last thing Harry saw before he lost consciousness was his arm being severed from his body just below the elbow by the blade of the Death Eaters weapon and then a flash of white light.
The rewrite his complete! Before someone complains about it the reason the Pomfrey imprint says Harry's arm was severed by a cutting hex is because in the original version it was and in the rewrite the blade of Macnairs halberd has one enchanted into it. The reason Harry rushed the fight with Macnair was because he was exhausted and outmatched and he knew it so he tried to use surprise and some overpowered magical bombs to end it before Macnair overpowered him… :) I will probably give the Inner Circle Death Eaters unique weapons. Also I want to address a few of the reviews and pm's I've had that say that my idea of a 60 ft animagus form is oversized and that it couldn't be hidden from muggles e.g. Godzilla, well first Godzilla is 50 to 100 meters (164-328 feet) tall and Slytherin's basilisk was 60ft not to mention the DOZENS of giant acromantula that attack Hogwarts in the final battle (not sixty foot tall but there were a lot of them and they stayed hidden from the wizards) and lastly the Animagus battle would have taken place at Hogwarts a place warded against muggles anyway. Once again if there are any mistakes tell me and please Read and review!
