Selena Strikes

A trio of death eaters walked through the darkness, trying to find Potter, hoping that if they were the ones to capture the Potter brat then they would be rewarded. They looked up, down, left and right and every other direction. They cast detection spells in case he was hiding under a disillusionment charm or invisibility cloak. After a few minutes of searching they turned at the sound of a hiss, all three looked into a pair of yellow eyes before they fell dead on the ground.

Selena slithered past the bodies, remembering her father's orders. She was not allowed to bite any of them, something about her venom being found in their bodies. Not that Selena wanted to bite any of them, they were stinky and horrible. She slithered towards another group, they looked towards her and fell to her deadly gaze. She grinned as a basilisk could and continued moving.

She saw one person come in front of her and was seconds away from allowing her gaze to kill the person when she stopped and realized it was her father, that was close, she had nearly killed him. She quickly moved on and began taking out more, all fell under her mighty gaze. Daddy would be proud.

"We're losing our men!" Lucius growled.

"Where is the filthy half-blood bastard?!" Bellatrix growled as she looked around, trying to find him but unable to see him through the darkness. She fired a spell in a random direction, hoping to hit Harry, unfortunately she did not hit anything.

"Don't throw them out randomly!" One death eater hissed.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Bellatrix snarled at him and the death eater stepped back in fear.

"Stop fighting amongst yourselves!" Lucius hissed, "I..." Lucius was cut off as a spell crashed into one of the shelves, the shelves crumbled down and took out a trio of death eaters as it crashed into another set of shelves, resulting in a domino effect of the other shelves falling as well. If that was not enough the opposite side of the hall suddenly lit up in flames, the death eaters quickly realized that it was fiendfyre.

"We need to get out of here!" One death eater shouted as the shelves stared collapsing into the flames, the death eaters quickly ran towards the door, they quickly began undoing their locking charms on the door only to realize that it was already undone, since they didn't have time to question it they just quickly opened it before running out of out the room, unfortunately for them one of them wasn't able to get out in time. The other death eaters closed the door quickly before the flames could get out.

"Fucking hell!" Lucius cursed once they were out, he looked around and saw that he had somehow been left with just eleven death eaters. He listened and heard the sound of flames slowly die down, meaning someone must have got rid of the flames, it was not an impossible task but extremely difficult and could only done by the best of wizards.

"How the hell did the brat take out so many?!" Barty Crouch Junior hissed. "He was not that strong before!"

"Hey." A voice called just before a burst of blood popped out of Barty's chest as he fell to the floor. The death eaters looked towards Barty before looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Harry Potter lower his wand. "By the way." Harry raised his other hand and gave the death eaters the finger before he ran off.

"Get after him!" Rodolphus Lestrange yelled before they began chasing him.

"Whoa guys." Harry laughed as he entered the Ministry's main atrium after a rather long chase. "Now come on, no need to get violent." Harry said calmly. "I mean we could just talk this out."

"Potter," Malfoy sneered. "where is the prophecy?" He demanded upon noticing that Potter was not holding it in his hand, Malfoy quickly placed his mask back on his face in case a Ministry worker happened to show up.

"The prophecy?" Harry asked in a confused voice.

"The orb Potter!"

"You mean the white one?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! The white orb! Where is it?!" Malfoy shouted impatiently.

"Alright jeez," Harry winced as he tugged on his ear. "you Malfoy's always have to shout everything." Harry rolled his eyes. "I don't have the orb."

"Where is it?!" Rabastan Lestrange yelled.

"Oh I smashed that fucker." Harry grinned.

"You smashed it?!" Malfoy paled before growling in anger. "You smashed it?!" He roared.

"You're about as slow as your son as well." Harry commented.

"Potter." A voice called, the death eaters turned behind them to see Apophis standing behind them.

"Oh fucking hell, it's you." Harry sighed. Apophis walked forward and past the other death eaters.

"He's mine." Apophis said to the other death eaters before he walked diagonally from the death eaters and stopped so he was facing Harry and standing a small distance away from him.

"So...remember that time you never beat me?" Harry asked right before leaning to the side to avoid a piercing curse that was aimed between his eyes, Harry responded with a cutting curse that Apophis batted away. "Touch a nerve?" Harry asked innocently before batting away another spell.

Apophis jabbed his wand forward and a white beam shot towards Harry, Harry swatted it away before jabbing his wand in Apophis's direction and sending a blue spike at him. Apophis changed the spike into a knife before catching and tossing it back at Harry, Harry vanished the knife before he responded with a simple disarming-body bind-stunner combo. Apophis side stepped the first spell, ducked under the other and blocked the last. Apophis sent two cutters which Harry cancelled out with his own cutters.

The death eaters were watching as Harry and Apophis exchanged spells, both starting slow but slowly building in speed as the fight continued. Some were tempted to shoot at Harry while he was distracted but did not want to disobey Apophis's orders since it was basically the same as disobeying the dark lord's orders and both would result in a lot of pain.

Harry and Apophis continued exchanging spells when suddenly a red beam from Harry's wand and a green beam from Apophis's wand connected in midair, the two beams pushed against each other for several moments before they appeared to combine into a large ball of multicolored magic, the ball grew in size until it eventually burst.

"Mine was bigger." Harry commented before he waved his arm, sending a bright blue arc shaped beam at Apophis. Apophis sent a small spell that whistled as it charged towards Harry's spell, it pierced through his spell and caused it to implode on itself. Apophis sidestepped a fire ball before shooting an arrow at Harry who defeated the arrow with one of his own.
