Damian and Harry moved to the next round, Harry saw the puzzle and he said," it looks like only one of us can go Damian. One of these potions are authentic. I'll go and face Snape, you take Ron and Hermione to get out of here and alert the professor- ", *cling* *crack* *glass breaks*.
Harry turned to see Damian throwing potion on the fire and the fire on the spot is gone. Damian said," let's go and face him ", Harry blushed when he realised the potion can also be used like this.
Damian arrived with Harry and saw a man with purple turban, but Damian is being invisible at this moment, taking on a professor and winning is something he has less chance to have, so he decided to launch an ambush.
He instantly realised who the culprit is. It's none other than Professor Quirell moreover he had a suspicion about something. Quirell turned to Harry and then a voice appeared," strange, there is shift of mana in air but I can't pinpoint if it's related to Harry Potter ".
Damian's expression changed. Now he knew, the one infront of him is not only a professor but also the dark lord who possessed Quirell. At the same time a quest appeared in front of him.
[ Emergency Quest : The Devil's Whisper ]
[ Requirements :
Win or survive in the duel with Dark Lord ]
[ Time Period : Until the Duel Ends ]
[ Reward : Depends on your performance ]
Damian's eyes lit up, whenever this quest appeared if he can perform very well, he will receive generous rewards. He patted Harry gently as if to reassure him. Harry came out of the shock and asked," it's you. How? I thought it was Snape? ".
Quirell scoffed," Snape? Of course, everyone thinks it's snape. Afterall who would think the culprit is the poor, st-stuttering and cowardly professor Quirell ", Harry asked," but Snape? He tried to kill me. How could it be you? ".
Quirell sneered," heh, Snape tried to kill you. No you foolish boy, it is I who tried to kill you. Snape tried to save you. If Snape's cape hasn't caught on fire, my eye contact wouldn't have been broken and you would be dead by now. A pity really, I know you'll be a danger to me since the beginning especially after the Halloween. You and your dear friend Damian. Where is that kid? Not here. Even better, It does make much difference even if he is here ".
Quirell shook his head filled with regret. Harry exclaimed," Snape tried to save me. Wait halloween. So you're the one who released the trolls ", Quirell nodded with a smile," yes indeed. I intend to use that as a distraction to get into the third floor corridor. Everyone else is fooled but Snape, he charged head on to third floor and stopped me. Since then that man never trusted me and followed me around. Never leaving me alone. I was never alone ".
Quirell then yelled," enough, you know what this mirror do. I saw myself getting what I desire. The mirror shows I had the stone. What can I do to get it ", the same voice appeared again," use the boy ", Quirell yelled," come here Potter ", Harry slowly moved while his eyes darted to the hand that reassured him once again.
As Harry stood in front of the mirror, Quirell yelled," what do you see? ", Harry's eyes widened, he touched his pocket secretly while his eyes showed a moment of bewilderment. Harry said," I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore. I have won the house cup ".
" He is lying ", the voice appeared again. Quirell yelled," tell the truth ", the voice once again appeared," let me talk to him ", Quirell said," master you're not strong enough ", the voice said," i have enough strength for this ".
Quirell removed his turban revealing a face after the back of his head. The voice said," Harry Potter, we meet again ", Harry looked at the face with shock and blurted out," voldemort? ", the face said," yes indeed. The things I do to survive like this. Unicorn blood can sustain my life but it cannot grant me my own body. But something else can, something that lies convenintely in your pocket ".
Damian wanted to laugh out loud. It's just an enchanted stone he made to fabricate a philosopher's stone and soon it will break too. Harry wanted to run but Quirell snapped his fingers while fire appeared around.
" Why refuse and die when you can join me to live ", Voldemort said. " Never ", Harry yelled. He is looking around for Damian. Damian is also preparing to take action, he is making a large area spell with his magic. Voldemort continued saying," Bravery *laugh* your parents had it too. Tell me Harry don't you want to see your father and your mother again? ".
" I can bring them back, all I ask from you is that stone ", Harry took out the stone while Voldemort said," yes give it to me ", Harry said," liar ", voldemort said," I wanted to give you and your dear friend a chance. A fascinating little one. But you both won't be seeing the sun tomorrow ".
Voldemort suddenly disappeared from the back head, and Quirell started screaming. His face melted and became snake like face. Voldemort said," i don't want to do this either boys, but you leave me no choice ".
Avada kedavra
A green light shot from the transformed Quirell's wand. It travelled it's way towards Harry. But suddenly the ground rose shielding him. The wall of bricks got destroyed while Harry fell down. He turned to see Damian who is standing a feet away from him.
" I see. It's Evelyn Knight's child. Your mother gave quite a bit of trouble back then ", Voldemort said. Damian said," I also heard what happened. You sent your subordinates and they returned with broken limbs. Your humanoid army is decimated. Your most powerful elites fell. Tell me voldemort, have you feared my mother as much as Dumbledore? ".
Voldemort's face contracted with anger," impudent child. I'll not even leave your ashes ", from his wand few streams of death curse appeared. But still the same, bricks rose in their paths intercepting them.
