Chapter 3

Harry transfigured several rubbles around him to lions that he sent against me. Each one of them with their jaws wide open and fangs looking sharp enough to pierce through steel. It would have been far cooler if this fangs weren't coming closer to me every second.

So I pulled several small marble soldiers from my pocket at threw it at the lions before thrusting my hand towards them.

"Engorgio!" And the the small marble soldiers became not so small marble soldiers, leaving only one final touch for them to be ready.

"Piertotum Locomotor!" I yelled and the soldiers righted themselves in the air and landed on one knees and their fists. Like superheroes.

As the lions got closer, one of the soldier whipped out its sword and the lion closest to it lost it's head.

Seeing the new threat, Potter whipped his wand around and conjured several eagles along with very large snakes and had them attack the marvel soldiers. I on the other hand…

"Obustus!" A great torrent of flames came out of my palm and surged towards the conjured animals, burning them all with the exception of several eagles who flew out of the way.

"Come now Potter, things were just starting to get fun!" I taunted the former Boy Who Lived, loving the way his eyes narrowed with anger.

"Fulmina!" The vanquisher of Voldemort cried out as he pointed his wand in my direction and sent a bolt of lightning towards me that I blocked by pulling one of the marble soldiers in the path of the spell.

"Just stop this madness John! There is still a chance for you to get a lighter sentence!"

"From the same courts that put your godfather in Azkaban with no trial or from the ones that decided to let the Malfoy family go free after all the shit they pulled in the service of the noseless freak? Oh wait, the second one is on you." I said with a laugh as I sent another bolt of magic towards Harry.

The duel was kinda fun, sure I couldn't use any of my stronger spells due to the fact that I needed the room more or less in one piece, at least the circle behind me. But still, a duel of skill rather than pure power with only basic spells that we were using had its own charm too, pun intended.

But all nice things must come to an end, no matter what.

"Frigida!" I yelled out and the area around Harry was covered with ice, trapping the hero of the wizarding Britain with only his head and hands sticking out of the ice. And just for the sense of irony…

"Expeliarmus!" I hit him with a disarming charm and watched as his wand left his hand and flew away.

"Not gonna lie, I was expecting that to turn you into dust." I said with shrug.

"How long are you gonna keep making that joke?" Harry groaned.

"Luckily for you, not for too long." I said as I went back to the circle and inspected it. It was almost ready.

"What is that circle John?" Harry demanded of me and I decided to act like a proper villain who had the hero trapped and told him.

"It's something I made after inspecting that little death door under the department of mysteries. I am kinda surprised that you never searched that thing considering that it ate your dogfather."

"Do not talk about Sirius!" He yelled, looking genuinely mad.

"Come now, you are only angry because you know I am right." I said with a smile as I inspected the runes.

"Anyway, as I was saying, I created this circle after inspecting the curtain of doom that the unspeakables keep under their lab and I am pretty sure that it sends whoever and whatever passes through it to another dimension." I said, forgetting to mention that it was merely a theory that was likely to be true but not absolute.

"Are you saying Sirius can be… alive?" Harry asked, his eyes looking haunted.

"Are you mad Harry?! What are you doing, listening to the ramblings of this mad git?!" Ronald yelled from his earth cocoon, as annoying as ever.

"Ok, you be quiet." I said and stunned the redheaded moron with a flick of my finger.

"Finally some quiet. Where were we, oh right, your dogfather. No, he likely is dead, he fell through the curtains after he got hit by a spell from Bellatrix Lestrange. That bitch may have had some cake but she was crazy. Sirius Black was likely dead before he fully fell through the veil." I said, not giving Harry even a chance for hope. But it wasn't like I was lying so it was okay.

"I reverse engineered it with this circle so that it will sent me to another world. Probably."

"John, Lily still loves you. You do not have to… what do you mean probably?"

"First of all, dick move bringing Lily into this conversation and lying about her feelings. What I had with your daughter was just pleasure, neither of us cared much except for the repeat performances, no feelings involved. Your daughter is funky by the way." I snickered at the look of rage that appeared on his face.

"You are a bastard."

"That would be far more insulting if we both didn't know that I literally was one. Your daughter calls me daddy too by the way." I laughed while Harry just yelled with rage.

"Anyway, I said probably because this is the first try. So there is a tiny chance of this creating and anti matter bomb that might destroy all of this cemetery. Far more of it wasn't for the wards I placed around." I admitted without much care while Harry's eyes widened and he started to struggle with a renewed resolve that likely had to do something with his survival instincts.

"You are insane!"

"And in the other news, water is wet." I laughed as I picked my briefcase while ignoring Harry's yells about my madness and got in the middle of the circle. Then I activated it, causing a bright flash to cover up the whole room.

Maybe I should have told Harry that the hideout's integrity was connected to my presence within it and that without me near it would collapse.

Oh well, not my problem.

Ow. I was hurt which meant that I was still alive, which meant the experiment worked.

Yay me!

And there was even a very big sign right next to me, boy am I lucky. There were a few graffiti on the board but I could still read the sign.

'WELCOME TO THE BROCKTON BAY!'

…wait what? That sounds familiar for some reason…
