THE DARK CASTLE

-CHAPTER EIGHT-


Ron had finally managed to win over Cho. After that Sor helped Ron out of his leg lock and the stage was cleared of the two duellers Sor spoke up.

“Very good! What did you think Severus?” said Sor brightly.

“Actually, I’m not sure. I wasn’t looking,” said Severus in his dark voice.

Sor gaped at him.

“What?” he managed to gasp.

“I was talking to Malfoy and Potter. They’re next up. They’ll put on a little show for us.”

Both Harry and Draco’s eyes shone with mischief when Snape mentioned ‘show’. Their eyes met and they both nodded almost undetectable.

. . . . . . . . . . .

First of all they bowed. Then their moves were identical. They both created a very strong shield that even Voldemort would have problem to brake. The shield arouse around and over them so no one could get in but at the same time they couldn't get out.

“What are you doing?” said Sor angrily.

The both duellers ignored him.

Draco was the first one to speak.

“You put my father into prison scar head! I swore to revenge it and now I’ve got my chance to do so!” he spat.

“You don’t scare me ferret! Your filthy deatheater father is where he rightfully belong!” said Harry coldly.

“YOU’LL REGRET SAYING THAT! SORITO!” Draco yelled.

Harry dodged the spell.

“Rerito,” he shouted.

Draco missed the spell by inches.

“Tralaryala!” Harry said short after while Draco tried to regain his balance after a hilarious back flips. Draco was hit and doubled over. He wheezed in pain.

“Ravicio!” he gasped. Harry was let himself get hit. After all he didn’t want to run over Draco completely. He could feel the ice burn in his veins. He screamed in pain. They were using only dark arts; most stuff was only used by deatheaters. Harry met Draco’s gaze once again. He silently asked him to use unforgivables just to show the kids. Draco did the slightest shake of his head. Harry scrowled.

“Imperio!” he said and pointed his wand at Malfoy. Draco blocked it and silently agreed on Harry’s terms.

“Crucio!” said Draco.

Harry jumped at the side and the curse hit the shield and absorbed into it.

All the time people tried to brake throe and make them stop, which of course didn’t work.

“Crucio!” Harry shoot back at Draco.

Draco was hit and man could the boy scream!

“How does it fell? I’m sure you enjoy it. I know I always do when DE’s use it on me,” he said sarcastically. All due, he didn’t hold it upon him for more than a few seconds because he didn’t want to cause any serious harm on Draco.

“A little pause perhaps?” he asked Draco teasingly but still in a cold voice.

Draco glared and tried to get up, he managed to get up on all four before he made his move.

“Crucio!” said Draco between gritted teeth.

This time Harry let himself get hit. It was only fair to do so since Draco had to go throe the pain. He didn’t scream much. He wouldn’t give the satisfaction to anyone, not even Draco, even if this were only just an act.

“You’re dead Potter!”

“So are you,” he stated simply.

“Avada Kedavra!” they said together. Their green lights hit each occupant square in the chest.

They both pretended to die.

After a few seconds Harry jumped up on his feet.

“Alright! We won’t hold it against you anymore! We’re not dead!” he shouted in the silence.

Draco stood up with a smirk plastered over his face.

“Professor Snape said he wanted a duel, the man got a duel. Me n Drac’ choose to imitate how deatheaters move. They talk, they give you pain, they kill you,” said Harry in a serious voice when he spoke to the whole room. He looked over the students.

“Actually, they talk a lot,” Draco added.

Harry nodded to confirm. He had a smirk coming on.

“Indeed they do. When it comes to me there’s a hell lot of talking going on and very little action. It’s almost so I get bored hearing how Voldemort plan to kill me. Anyway, during our duel Draco and me didn’t talk all that much. Neither did we play cat and rat.”

Harry made a little pause to let his words sink in.

“You see DE’s likes to play with their prey. They cause pain, gives you false hope, physically and physically torture you and sometimes rapes you, and no, they haven’t raped me if that’s what you’re wondering. However. They. Will. Kill. You.”

“And as to how me and Harry survived the killing curse today is going to be our secret, but I advice you against trying this on yourself or friends because if you do you’ll die. But feel free, especially you Weasley,” Draco sneered.

Harry hide a smile.

“Yes, you mustn’t try this. What Draco and I used would to you look like the killing curse but it wasn’t. We cheated in a way that shall be kept secret.”

“Due to the unforgivables, we have law on our side. It is now legal to use them in a teaching mode issue. We were showing you how to use them and how it works and therefore it counts as teaching and no matter what we can’t be punished. But you can’t do this yourselves. It’s just Draco and me that's are special. And how we are that, we won’t tell you.”

“But-But!” Sor stammered.

“This is what I call a duel!” said Severus delighted but if you had a close look on him you could see that he was paler than usual.
