The Black prophecy #21

Chapter 21: Potter vs Dolohov.

- Dora… Dora… Dora! – Nymphadora’s thoughts were interrupted when a brown haired woman shook her shoulders.

- Oh, Hestia – Said Dora’ a little surprised, she was carrying a notebook.

- Focus… This is an important mission – Said Hestia looking at her friend a little worried she was carrying a camera.

Both of them were on the big plaza near Diagon’s Alley there were many people and they were cheering at Harry who was giving them some words, they were acting as if they were journalists.

- He looks so good on a suit… I wish we could continue what we left behind the last summer – Hestia’s words startled Nymphadora.

- Don’t say that… Someone might found out! – Nymphadora complained to her friend.

- Why are you acting like that…? You enjoyed both of our company – The brown haired woman smirked and Nymphadora rolled her eyes.

- I’ll keep looking around for death eaters if you don’t mind – Hestia laughed as Nymphadora got back to do her work.

Nymphadora gulped as she saw a known person dressed like a civilian, it was Pansy Parkinson, she had a cold look right now, she was the one that casted that awful spell that almost killed her that night, it was a scary spell.

- There’s another one – Dora pointed at Pansy and Hestia took a picture.

After she took the picture she applied charm to send it towards their group of friends that were hiding somewhere else.

- How are things between Harry and Hermione? – Asked Hestia surprising Dora again.

She didn’t want to answer, but in the end she did it.

- They broke up – Said the metamorphmagus a little annoyed.

- Oh, that’s too bad I guess Harry needs some cheering… I will invite him to my cottage near the sea again – Smiled Hestia.

Nymphadora had enough.

- Okay that’s it, Harry’s a special person to me and I want you to stop talking about him like that in this moment – Nymphadora got angry – He wanted to date you last year and you turned him down, you can’t change your mind now – Complained Dora.

- Relax relax I was just joking geez… But I like that reaction that you had… You’re still in love with him right? – Asked Hestia with a huge grin on her face.

- Does it matter? It isn’t like he’s going to change his mind – Those words confused Hestia – He’s already in love with someone else – Hestia was a little disappointed to hear that but still she nodded.

- Well, that’s too bad—Hestia was about to say anything else when suddenly, they heard an explosion coming from the scenery where Harry was giving his speech.

Nymphadora and Hestia were surprised when they heard that and they quickly moved trying to make sure, that most of the occupants got out of the place, they knew that the death eaters were more focused on Harry, so they tried to help the people to make them think that there wasn’t any auror nearby making them believe that Harry was alone in the scenery.

Meanwhile, back at the scenery, Harry was looking at a tall man with black hair and black eyes with an Eastern Europe accent,

- What did you just say? – Asked Harry confused about the proposal that this person, Antonin Dolohov had made.

- Oh, sorry… My English isn’t as good as I believe it was – Sighed the older man – Anyway… You’re coming with me, you understand right? – Asked Dolohov with a grin on his face while his wand was pointing towards Harry.

The green eyed man didn’t know what to do as the wand was too close to him, he had to make some time, there was a person assigned to his safety, but he was looking around and didn’t see that person.

- Oh, don’t tell me that you’re looking for the security? I’m sorry, that man… Bolson, he isn’t there right now – Smiled in a wicked way Dolohov.

Harry gulped before his eyes got bigger as he recognized the smell that Dolohov’s breath has.

- Don’t tell me that all this time, you were using a polyjuice potion with the image of that man – Dolohov smiled and clapped.

- Bravo, the great Harry Potter did it again, he discovered the mystery of my fake identity – Harry gulped as he saw that the death eater wasn’t pointing his wand at him right now – That guy… He was a death eater for some time and he thought that I wouldn’t recognize him, the past will always catch up with you… Never forget that, once I activated the dark mark, it was easy to manipulate that guy – Dolohov laughed as he was remembering the previous events that had led him to this situation.

The younger man did the logical thing, he started to run around the place trying to get away from Dolohov and the spells that he was firing, but it was easier to say that than do it.

The experience that the death eater had since the days of the war was showing up right now as he was dominating Harry in an easy way, he was firing spells constantly as If he didn’t have to wait of think about the spells because as soon as he launched them he quickly changed the type of attack.

First he was firing Harry with many elemental spells, fire, ice, electricity, but Harry managed to avoid most of them and when he couldn’t he always managed to cast a shield spell.

But suddenly, something happened someone casted an electric spell behind Harry’s back that was effective against the green eyed man who ended up throwing his wand away, his whole body was feeling shocked due to the nature of that spell.

- Well done Goyle – Said Dolohov with a smirk – Imperio! – Dolohov casted the spell on Harry and the taller man smirked as he saw the way the Potter man was acting – Yes, this is the way things should be… The weak must obey the strong! – Said Dolohov before he started to control Harry.

He ordered him to stand firm, without showing emotions or any trace of pain on his face.

- Yes, that’s the way we do it in the east – Dolohov smiled in a wicked way – Come on Goyle… Let’s take him to the hideout! – Goyle was about to handcuff Harry.

But something that neither of those death eaters expected it was that Harry would start to fight the imperio curse, Dolohov tried to increase the intensity of the spell, but it didn’t not work as Harry was still fighting the spell, Goyle didn’t want to get close because he knew that his ex-classmate was a dangerous man, that’s why they had sent the second best officer on their ranks to capture him.

- Come on Goyle, don’t be an idiot and handcuff him! – Ordered Dolohov as Harry was getting close to fully regain the freedom of his actions.

Goyle was hesitant to get close but in the end, the fear of the higher ups was stronger than anything else so, he got closer to restrain Harry, but something happened right before he was about to restrain him, Harry got freed from the spell and he screamed very loud so everyone present heard him.

Harry’s scream was very painful but at the same time it showed some kind of relief, and was accompanied with a punch that landed on Goyle’s face, the chubby man quickly got unconscious.

- You… How you dare to fight my curse!? – Dolohov was angry until he realized something, he changed his expression for a twisted one – It’s true, how could I forget… We don’t need you… We just need your blood! – Harry tried to prepare himself for what was about to come – Avada—Harry expected to die in this instant.

Suddenly, a spell landed on Dolohov’s back, exploding and sending him to crash towards a wall, Harry didn’t know who saved him as there was a lot of smoke, but when the smoke finally disappeared, he smiled when he saw the person that had saved him.

- Bella – He mumbled before he ran towards the curly haired woman.

She also smiled when she saw him safe and sound, they looked at each other before they kissed.

- I was so worried… We found Bolson, the auror that was supposed to protect you unconscious, I ran as fast as I could but I—Bellatrix tried to explain as she felt guilty right now and Harry knew that due to the tone of her voice, that revealed everything.

- It’s okay Bella, I’m safe and it’s all thanks to you! – Harry tried to ease her worry.

She kissed him again and he responded back by kissing her, when they broke the kiss they looked at Dolohov.

- Antonin Dolohov… I remember you, you were part of that “edgy” circle in Slytherin that always harassed muggle-born students – Bellatrix looked at the death eater in a hateful way – Incarcerous! – Bella casted a spell to restrict Dolohov and Goyle, they couldn’t fight if they wanted anyway, they were unconscious.

Bella sighed before she smiled at Harry.

- You managed things very well even without a professional’s support – Bella smiled at him.

- Thanks… I just followed your instructions for combat – Harry said.

- Wait and study your foe – Both of them said at the same time before they blushed and laughed.

- Yes, those instructions, and combined with the things that you teach me during the tri-wizard tournament days, I could take care of myself alone – Bella looked at him, amazed of his way to act against the problems.

- I’m so proud of you, Lily and James would feel the same if they were here – Bella’s words made Harry feel warm inside him – Also… It’s kind of hot seeing a man fight back against someone stronger – Bellatrix looked away trying to hide her blush and Harry smiled.

Meanwhile on the other side of the plaza, Nymphadora was running, she was chasing a known death eater… Pansy Parkinson, she was glad that the younger woman didn’t know that she was Aurora, suddenly, Nymphadora’s thoughts were interrupted when she heard cries, they seemed to be children cries, she quickly ran trying to find the source where those sounds came.

It didn’t take her too much time to find her, it was a little girl, she was wearing a yellow hat and a blue dress.

- Hey… Are you alright? – Asked the young metamorphmagus.

- Mommy… I want my mommy! – Said the little girl between sobs.

- Hey baby… It’s okay, we will find her I will help you! – Nymphadora tried to make her feel safe.

- Would you do that for me? – Asked the little girl trying to clean the off tears from her face.

- Of course, I would, I will do anything you want! – Nymphadora smiled at the poor child that seemed to get calmer.

- Can I ask you to do another thing for me? – Asked the little girl in a cute way, Nymphadora couldn’t deny anything to a child, after all, she grew up with one.

- Sure, tell me what you need – Nymphadora smiled at the little girl.

- Could you… Could you please die!? – The words coming out from the little girl’s mouth confused her.

- What…!? – Nymphadora’s question was answered when suddenly, someone attacked her.

- Parkinson, kill her! – Ordered the little girl before she threw her hat away.

And Parkinson did as she was told, she started to attack Nymphadora catching her by surprise.

- WHAT THE FUCK!? – Nymphadora couldn’t believe what was happening, that little girl made her look like an idiot.

- Stupid girl… The auror department gets worse every year… You might be surprised to know that I’m actually older than you, but I made a deal with a demon and he cursed me to always have the appearance of a child no older than seven, but don’t worry that deal was totally worth it, and soon you will know why! – The little girl said before she got her wand out – Avada Kadabra! – Screamed the child-like figure but Nymphadora managed to avoid the curse.

The death eaters looked at each other and started to fire spells towards Nymphadora, she had a disadvantage in numbers, but still, her abilities helped her to get away from those spells as she could change the size of her body, but she knew that she had to run away.

Instead, she smirked as she realized that if she was successful at catching these death eaters, she will get a promotion so she made a plan, she found a place to hide for a while, and suddenly changed her form to look like Dolohov.

- Come here little girl… We just want to brutally murder you! – Said the child like figure.

- I don’t know why I feel like I have seen that woman before… – Said Pansy surprised.

- Stop thinking about boring stuff sister! Remember just fun things on our minds, murder, blood, mayhem! – The little girl laughed.

But suddenly a known figure appeared in front of them.

- Oh Dolohov – Said the little girl.

- Come on you two, we need to get back to the headquarters, we already got Harry Potter, we don’t have anything else to do here.

Both of them were surprised but smiled, so they put their wands away on their sleeves.

- Incarcerous! – Said Dolohov catching the little girl the metamorphmagus was getting back to her normal form.

But Nymphadora couldn’t be fast enough to catch Parkinson, there was a silence, and she was nowhere to be seen, as the little girl was restricted for her mouth too, she couldn’t say anything.

- I think she ran away… She won’t get away too far though, we already secured this place we have an area of eight squared miles to avoid anyone from apparating away from this place – Nymphadora smiled at the little girl who had a very angry expression.

Nymphadora was going to get back where all his colleagues were, when suddenly she was attacked again causing her to drop the child-like figure, and she wasn’t fast enough to avoid another attack that had a strange red color, she didn’t know what kind of spell was, she just knew that it was about to hit her… Or that’s what she though as she was standing waiting for it to hit her.

But someone pushed away and took the attack instead of her, it was her aunt Bellatrix, who let out a painful scream that echoed through all the place before she fell unconscious, Nymphadora didn’t know what to do, this was the first time she was seeing something like these, she got overconfident, she didn’t took the situation as serious as she should have taken it.

- BELLA! – Another voice screamed loudly her name.

It was Harry, he ran towards the middle Black sister and knelt trying to see what was happening, Bella was coughing and letting blood out of her mouth, even in her weak state she tried to cover her body from letting out the blood from where she was hurt, still, she managed to smile when she saw Harry looking at her worried.

- Nymphadora, do something! – Pleaded Harry, with obvious panic on his face.

And for the first time in many years, Nymphadora didn’t know what to do, she was in shock.
