With a sigh the elderly Wizard nodded, before standing aside, earning a bit of calmed curiosity from the nearby Werewolf. Why would Dumbledore be so opposed to… Remus' eyes shot open the moment red energy began crackling from the Marauders Wand as he spun it in a large circle over his head.
Sirius was using dark Magic, ancestral dark Magic, the kind that had the hairs on the back of his neck standing up and the wolf inside quivering in anticipation. This wasn't the sort of spell one would learn as an Auror, it was undoubtedly something he had either found in the Black Vault or had drilled into his head by his deranged parents.
The muttered chant ended with the Black Lord slashing his tool down, sending a massive bolt of red energy blasting into the Wards, which groaned from the effort to stabilize. Sirius merely gritted his teeth and forced more energy into the assault.
...
"Come on now I've given you plenty of time to rest and think. I'm getting fed up with chasing you around, do something new ." Harry urged with something that sounded almost like boredom in his voice.
"New…" Voldemort growled, "you want new ? You want exciting !? THEN HOW ABOUT THIS!? BURN POTTER!" A massive snake made of bright amber flames streamed from the Dark Lord's Wand, illuminating the area and earning gasps of awes from the Death Eaters.
Without so much as a gesture the pale hybrid sent the serpent towards his enemy, who merely smiled in delight. Just as it was about to reach him the boy opened his mouth… and took a deep breath, inhaling the flames as if it were mere oxygen. A split second later the Magic was gone, and the boy exhaled a bit of smoke, before letting out a deep burp.
"Not bad, I would say a bit spicier than Hogwarts usually makes it but… not bad really."
Once more stunned silence greeted him, before Riddle began to stutter out his enraged protest, "H-h-how!? How are you so strong? How are you able to do that!?"
Harry quirked his head a tad, blinking a bit in confusion. "What?"
"THAT! THIS MAGIC!? HOW ARE YOU SO POWERFUL!?"
"Powerful?" the boy repeated softly, "You think this is power? You think that this is my limit? You stupid man… let me show you what real Magic looks like."
The shadows lengthened, and the lights flickered just as the moon, previously bright in the night sky, became eclipsed by darkness.
...
Lucius Malfoy noticed it first. A slight tremor moving through the ground. In fact, if graveyard had not been so deathly quiet he was quite sure he would have missed it.
A few seconds later another tremor.
Then another.
Followed by another, each increasing in intensity just slightly . However, after a minute or two the others seemed aware that something was wrong as well. Turning his head slightly, as he caught sight of it .
"No…" the man muttered, spinning completely, so that he could take a step back, fear filling his eyes. "It isn't possible . There are limits, rules that must be followed…"
Nearby a young boy began to chuckle, which quickly escalated into full blown laughter… which turned malicious. Dark and terrible, it filled the area as the shape continued approaching them, its body covering the stars with ease.
The creature was larger than any structure the Malfoy Lord had ever bore witness to… maybe even Hogwarts itself. Hundreds of feet tall, it was humanoid in shape… and yet it at the same time the very opposite of what humanity could be considered.
Did it have two arms or twelve? Was it fur that adorned its body or writhing tentacles? It appeared to have a single head… and yet movements in the dark seemed to suggest multiple mouths.
Regardless of the shape, the monster was dark. As shadowy as the night sky. Whatever features might have adorned it were obscured in this darkness… save for the eyes. Two blood-red circles were visible at the very top, giving an indication of how truly massive it was… for the Death Eaters themselves were forced to tip their heads back just to see those ruby orbs.
And then it roared .
It was a primal sound, something born from the darkest corners of the deepest jungles and evolving in the shadows of human fear. It echoed through the area, low and deep as tombstones and mausoleums alike crumbled from the force. Like straw huts attempting to stand before a hurricane.
The Death Eaters froze in place, as their hands went to cover their ears crouching down in mere instinct to try and protect themselves, paralyzed in a terror they had never experienced before now as they looked upon the monstrous shape of death itself, and elsewhere, miles from where they stood, a group of Aurors halted in their actions, eyes widening in shock and fear.
The boy's laughter hadn't ceased, and the monster finally came to a halt. For a brief moment the teen quieted, and silence reigned, for even the Dark Lord himself dare not speak lest he draw attention to himself.
Then the air was split by a massive arm. Fingers tore into the ground, ripping apart the earth as a person might do to loose sand.
