“What the…” That’s the only thing Harry could say as the feminine figure that was standing in front of him suddenly disappeared, she was changing positions at a very fast pace.
Harry was having lots of trouble trying to catch the sight of the feminine, she was moving so fast that it was close to impossible to see where she was.
“This is not right…” He muttered to himself.
He was having some doubts right now, he was finding it hard to believe that he defeated this bastard when he was a baby, but even if that monster had only a small fraction of his soul buried inside his body, that was enough to make Harry feel fear.
After all, he never had the chance to learn how to duel and he only completed his Hogwarts scholarship because a lot of the teachers pitied him and gave him the minimum score to graduate, and now he was suffering the consequences of those actions.
Harry hated this, he felt lost and helpless, this was the first time in ages he was feeling like this, and the dark place where he was currently standing was getting darker and darker, until…
“Harry…Harry, please wake up!” Harry suddenly heard a voice.
It was coming from the outside and he quickly recognized who was the one speaking to him right now.
“Tonks!” He said in a shocked tone.
He was starting to wonder what the fuck was happening outside this space or whatever thing this was, but he didn’t have too much time to think about it because suddenly, the feminine figure was about to chop his head which caused him to open his eyes as wide as he could get them, but surprisingly, he managed to get a grasp of the situation quickly and avoid it.
“Come on, are you going to fight or not? If you’re not going to do that then stop boring me and die already!” The figure said angrily.
Harry saw that the figure was about to charge against himself once again and the only thing he could do was lift his wand little by little, his hands were shaking, and he didn’t know why he was doing this, he had zero idea how to use magic, he remembers a few of the spells he had to learn to pass the classes but he never practiced them because the teachers were afraid he could hurt someone.
“Think Harry…Think…Magic is supposed to be an endless box of surprises, a gift from the goddess that has limitless possibilities!” Harry thought desperately.
Right now, he was starting to see his life fading away because he saw that the attack the figure was using was more powerful than the last one she used, he knew he wasn’t going to dodge it, the attack seemed too powerful for him to do that this time, and he knew this was the end, he hated to admit defeat so easily, but there was no point in him fighting any longer, if he could have a wish it would be to have a way to stop the attack.
But he knew that it didn’t matter how much he was wishing for something to protect him, it was going to be impossible to dodge the attack, so, he prepared himself and just wished he would be better just to stop the attack that was about to hit him, but it was too late, if only he had started training with his brother when he had the chance after they finished their studies, but it was too late for something like that now.
“Die Potter!” The feminine figure said with a wicked tone.
Voldemort’s piece of soul was currently covered by green energy, and soon, Harry saw that that energy turned into some kind of energy snake that was going to eat him, the thing looked horrible and its fangs seemed to release a toxic substance, or at least that's what he saw coming out of them.
Still, Harry decided to face the thing without thinking about, if this was going to cost him his life, he was fine with it, but he wasn’t going to let this thing take over his body, he was planning to take the figure with him to the other world, he didn’t know how he was going to achieve that but he was ready to face the attack, he wasn't going to die without trying anything, so, to Voldemort’s piece of soul surprise, he stood there with his wand raised and an expression full of anger.
But even though he managed to surprise her, that wasn't enough to stop the figure, the thing suddenly smirked.
“So, you think you’re planning to die easily, uh? You’re going to get a slow and painful death like I promised you!” The figure said with an arrogant tone.
Time seemed to move slowly for Harry as he waited for the attack and it was the same for Voldemort’s figure who wanted to finish with this already to take over his body but suddenly, something surprising happened, the moment the snake and Voldemort’s piece of soul were about to hit Harry Potter, a protection appeared.
Harry was suddenly covered by a red energy that was coming out of his wand and even though the feminine figure used a lot of energy in this attack, the two forces collided and now a battle for dominance started, and even though Harry was shocked he managed to cast this shield, he was focused on repelling Voldemort’s attack, he wasn’t expecting to survive the figure's attack just a few moments ago, and now he was trying to repel the attack.
“You fool, just give up, I don’t know how you made that shield appear but you need to give up already and die!” Ordered the feminine figure.
“NEVER!” Harry screamed and suddenly something surprising happened.
His shield became bigger which caused the feminine figure’s attack to explode, the energy snake suddenly ceased to exist but not before letting a huge, painful, and annoying screeching sound.
“I-It can’t be, you weren’t supposed to know how to use magic!” The figure said with a shocked tone.
“I still don’t know how I did it…But the only thing I know is that I wished for a shield or something to protect me and then I wished to destroy that thing and surprisingly, that's what happened…” Harry said in a calm tone.
Voldemort’s piece of soul's eyes widened after hearing those words.
“He’s lying…There’s no way he could do that…That’s the way ancient wizards and witches used magic, back then they didn’t have spells so they left everything to their imagination, they were unstoppable and almost caused the end of the universe, so, the weak wizards invented and patented the spells which turned freeform magic to become illegal,” the feminine figure thought to herself completely shocked, this was completely unexpected.
“So…This means that even though I can’t use magic in the way I’m supposed to use, there’s an alternative way…I just need to wish it…” Harry said in a calm tone.
And suddenly he started to laugh as he looked at the feminine figure.
“I have no idea what’s going on, so, let me test my theory…To kill a snake you need to cut their head, right?” Harry asked the female figure.
But he wasn’t expecting an answer because suddenly, he pointed his wand at the figure in front of him and launched a series of circular-shaped saws, and one of them managed to cut a few hairs from the feminine figure which caused her to open her eyes as wide as she could get them.
“You need to stop moving, seriously, you’re making my job more difficult,” Harry said with a smirk on his face.
The feminine figure was scared, there was a killing aura surrounding Harry Potter.
“Could this…Could this be my end?” Asked Voldemort’s piece of soul to herself.
If Harry Potter manages to exterminate her, it’s over for the dark lord, he’ll never come back to life.
“No…I can’t give up easily, there’s still a last trick I can use!” The Horcrux thought and then, it turned itself into a snake and surprisingly, the thing was approaching Harry.
And even though Harry tried to kill the thing, the snake managed to avoid his attack, the thing was getting closer and closer to where he was standing, and surprisingly, the thing was about to bite Harry which made him drop his wand, but suddenly, the snake turned itself back to the feminine figure and suddenly, the figure to kiss Harry, however, this wasn’t a kiss of love, it was a kiss of death because her lips had venom.
Meanwhile in the real world…
“Harry, Harry please wake up!” Nymphadora said in the Potter’s garden where a naked Harry was lying on her lap.
And surprisingly, he opened his eyes and got on his feet before he grabbed Tonks’ wand and pushed her on the ground at a very fast pace.
“Harry what—” She couldn’t finish because she suddenly realized Harry’s eyes were yellow now, they looked like the ones of a snake.
“Harry Potter is gone,” he said to Tonks.
And the metamorph’s eyes widened the moment Harry used her wand to cast a spell she had only heard in books...Morsmordre.
