Harry dismissed it and focused on listening in on their conversation.

"You've been running for a while Amycus. Surely you've realized by now that this was the only way it was going to end. You can't keep fooling an Auror with badly made Polyjuice." Ms. Roemmele said, her voice a lot softer than Harry had expected.

"I didn't escape the Ministry jail and evaded you all for these weeks just by using Polyjuice. Even if you kill me or take me in tonight, the boy will die." Carrow growled.

Vance gave him a sad smile, "I can't let you do that. The boy you hurt with your enchantment a few days ago… he almost died. If it wouldn't have been me treating him, he would have. I cannot let you keep on hurting innocents. I've turned enough of a blind eye to that for a long time now. Not anymore."

"Innocent? Who? That boy?" Amycus Carrow spat out, "He destroyed the one chance the wizarding world had to escape from muggle oppression. He killed my master and doomed us all Em!"

'What in the world?' Harry wondered, 'Has he lost it? I didn't kill anybody!'

"The boy has done no such thing!" Ms. Roemmele echoed his thoughts, "You are delusional and full of baseless hatred! Come back Amycus. You only have a few years left in your sentence, and if I vouch for you, they won't add any jail time. But if you harm a hair on Harry Potter or anyone here, I can't do anything!"

Amycus Carrow laughed, "You think I haven't made peace with that? I'm a Death Eater luv. I made my peace the moment the Dark Lord burned his mark onto me. Besides, I've set up explosive enchantments throughout this street by the dozens. Touch me, and everyone here dies."

Suddenly a huge wave of killing intent spread out and hit Harry like a ton of bricks.

Harry looked at the fuming Ms. Roemmele, impressed. She sure did know how to make a point.

But contrary to being afraid, Carrow simply laughed. "Now there's my fiery Em. Don't worry. I promise I'll make it quick for the kid. I'm not heartless."

And with that, quick as a viper, his hand shot out and a red flash of light lit up the street, making Harry avert his eyes. When he looked back, Ms. Roemmele was sprawled unconscious on the street.

Carrow walked over to her and knelt down, gently caressing her face.

"I promise I'll one day make it up to you… we have a lifetime to spend together," he said, "But now it's time to settle an old score."

With that, Carrow turned around, and Harry knew that if he didn't want his relatives to die a swift and painful death, now would be the time to interfere.

It was time to put his plan in motion.

And so, with Gamer's Mind firing on all cylinders, Harry turned on the spot and silently apparated to a spot just a couple of feet behind the Death Eater. In one swift and planned movement, Harry used Accidental magic to light his hands ablaze with the hottest fire he could conjure up, activated the Wardstone Perk, and grabbed Carrow's right hand before using his boosted strength to bend and crush it with all his might.

Carrow near-instantly jumped away, but Harry had felt the flesh sizzling and the bones cracking under his palms, and he knew the deed was done when he saw the bone-white stick clatter onto the floor and a primal scream of pain ring in his ears.

The Death Eater was completely thrown off balance, his weapon lost and his mind struggling to comprehend how the events had turned against him so swiftly, but Harry was on the top of his game. Taking advantage of the opening, he swiftly set his fists ablaze again and using his superior Dex, weaved in between his opponent's guard and drove them into his knees. Carrow crumpled to the ground.

His plan had worked after all. Being underestimated was the best weapon out there.

Being faced by someone as helpless without magic as Carrow, Harry was in his element. He had fought playground fights his entire life. This time, he just had a bigger target to hit. Punch. Punch. Punch. Dodge the swinging arm. Punch to the spine. Punch to the groin. Punch to the back of the neck. There was no trick too dirty with his life at stake, and Harry wasn't holding back. His eyes were wide and he was shivering with adrenaline. This was the first time he had ever truly dominated someone in a fistfight, and it felt incredible . He had to force himself to stop when he did…

By the time he was done, Carrow was a motionless, smoking heap lying on the Dursley's curb.

Bloodlust, Harry realized. He'd just felt bloodlust for the first time.

A loud ping broke him out of his reverie.

Harry waved those away, thankful that he had managed to pull off the surprise attack. He quickly checked his stats. He'd felt his Boosts fall away from exhaustion a few moments ago, so he wasn't surprised by the numbers.
