Fatal-Mistake-They-Made (IV)

Hans Muller snapped back to reality when a green Spell splashed against one of his companions' back and the said companion slumped down on the ground, completely lifeless. "Collen!!" Muller snarled loudly, getting his other companion out of his trance, who was staring at the lifeless form of one of his friends. Meanwhile, Hans quickly turned around to counter-attack, but much to his surprise, he didn't find anyone.

This was supposed to be an easy mission… Just kill the Boy-Who-Lived while everyone was busy with the diversion and escape before anyone could realize what was happening. Everything was going according to the plan, in fact, everything was going much better than the plan, especially when the vaunted Boy-Who-Lived got separated from his family… It made their job so much easier when the boy escaped into the forest.

He divided his team into four groups so that they could cover more ground and finish the job as quickly as possible, but that was probably when everything went to shit!! He didn't even notice that he was already losing his team until he found two of his teammates lying in a patch of poison, and there was only one person he knew who used that poison, but there were no signs of either Himera or the person who attacked them…

Which meant that either Himera escaped or she was probably dead too and the latter was a much scarier thought…

Then someone had to go and Conjure the Dark Mark!! Muller wanted nothing to do with the bloody Death Eaters or their Dark Mark. This wasn't how their mission was supposed to go, but here he was, looking for the person who killed one of his teammates just a few moments ago and there was a high chance that this person was also responsible for killing the rest of his teammates.

"Up here, sucker!" Hans heard someone speak in a mocking tone and started to raise his head… From the voice, it seemed like the person who attacked them was pretty young, probably a teenager, but that should be impossible… After all, he didn't think any teenager would know how to cast the Killing Curse, but he was shocked beyond belief when his eyes landed on the teenager floating in the air.

"Y-You… You…" Hans and Collen started to stutter at the same time as they failed to come up with anything intelligible. How were they supposed to react after realizing that their 14 year old target was picking them apart? Then how the hell were they supposed to know that the Boy-Who-Lived wasn't a paragon of Light? It was simply unbelievable!!

"You little bastard!! I will flay you alive for killing my friend!!" Collen was the first to snap out of his stumped state and with a mighty scream, he started to shoot Spells at Harry.

"No, don't!" Hans screamed to stop Collen as he knew that they simply couldn't attack the boy so mindlessly, especially when the boy was clearly flying without any sort of support, but it was too late when the monster wearing the skin of the 14 year old struck Collen with a mighty lightning bolt, turning Collen into a charred husk. Hans gulped loudly… How was he supposed to win against that? He didn't even notice the boy cast, but Collen was dead… That was proof enough!

That was why he called the boy a monster… There was no way a 14 year old could kill so easily and effortlessly. He stared at the still smoking body of his last companion and gulped loudly… He clutched his Wand so tightly that his knuckles started to turn white as the monster disguised as a 14 year old started to descend.

"That was rude… My parents were definitely married!" Harry muttered, sounding a bit offended as he stared at the still burning husk of the man who called him a bastard. Then his gaze finally focused on the leader of the group. "You are way calmer than I was expecting you to be… I was expecting you to attack me in a blind rage, after all, I did kill your whole team" Harry wondered aloud as his feet finally touched the ground.

Hans barely held back a growl… Of course, he was angry, but he wasn't stupid. Hans knew that he was good, but even he wasn't that good.

"Does it make you angry, I killed your whole team, that obviously makes you angry… If it makes you feel any better then let me tell you, I would have done the same to any other team too" Harry whispered the last part with a grin.

"You are no Light Wizard" Hans stated with a growl, making Harry release a roar of laughter.

"Anyone who believes that I am one of Dumbledore's sycophants are the biggest fools of this era…" Harry explained with a shrug. "I am not one of his mindless bumbling fools and that makes me a lot more dangerous" Harry stated as he inclined his head. "The Aurors are probably on their way as someone must have noticed the flare… So, I will be wrapping this up" Harry added nonchalantly and Hans finally decided to make his move.

"Avada Kedavra!" The man snarled and cast the Killing Curse at Harry, but Harry easily side-stepped, missing the green death beam as it went past his body. The Killing Curse was dangerous as fuck, but the Spell was completely harmless if it didn't hit you, and dodging the Spell was also quite easy as long as you don't freeze up at the sight of the incoming Killing Curse.

"Such a nifty Spell, wouldn't you agree?" Harry asked as he fired a barrage of Spells at the man, who was barely able to defend against so many Spells. Hans immediately realized that the boy was much faster than him, which wasn't good news from his perspective as the rate of his survival or revenge was getting dimmer with each passing moment.

"Stupefy, Confringo, Accio, Bombarda!" Hans completely gave up on silent casting for more power and less concentration, but Harry still batted away the Spells with the tip of his Wand without barely any effort on his part.

"Well then, I have played around long enough" And those were the last words Hans heard before his world went completely blank. Harry would have loved to stay and muse for a bit, but he needed to start moving really quickly as the Aurors were probably on the move, especially with the Dark Mark floating in the sky. Harry started to rotate his hand in the air and a portal started to form under Hans, and when the portal was finally stable, Hans disappeared into the portal.

After the man finally disappeared into the portal, Harry closed the portal and started to rise up in the air. He wanted to see if the Death Eaters were still conducting their attack or not… Harry wasn't planning to attack them or kill him, at least, not yet… He knew that he had wasted too much time hunting down the mercenaries and tangling with the Death Eaters wouldn't be ideal at this moment, as he was trying to lay low for the time being in the first place.

Harry stared toward the burning tents in the distance and cleaned his Wands for the Spells he used… There was no way he was getting caught with two Killing Curses on his Wand, just in case, someone decided to check his Wand. He nodded his head when his Wand was finally clean and blasted off toward the burning tents in the distance, but then all of a sudden he came to a sudden halt when he heard some screams… From the screams, he deduced that it was probably someone really young.

He looked down only to find Ronald Weasley, Ginerva Weasley, and the Weasley twins at the mercy of a Death Eater. The three male Weasleys seemed to be Petrified, but that wasn't all, the three of them were quite roughed up too… The Death Eater seemed to be bleeding too, which meant that the three of them didn't go down without a fight, but that wasn't what drew Harry's attention… It was the youngest of the family, Ginerva Weasley who drew his attention.

The girl was screaming at the top of her lungs while thrashing around… Harry had never heard anyone scream like that and she was only a child. Yes, he was only a year older than her, but she didn't grow up like him. She grew up as a child and that is what she was, just a child… To be honest, he didn't like the Weasleys, but he felt something stir inside of him. The Death Eater scum had his Wand pointed at the girl and he had a very good idea about the Spell the man was using.

|He is using the Cruciatus Curse| Lily scowled in distaste… True, she would have killed the girl very painfully if she had dared to make a move on her Hadrian, but she couldn't bring herself to be happy at the girl's screams, now that she was being held under the Cruciatus Curse by some Death Eater scum.

|The only good Death Eater is a dead Death Eater| Harry repeated inside his mind, but decided not to kill this Death Eater, especially with the Weasleys present at the scene… They would obviously end up revealing everything to Dumbledore and for the time being, Harry wanted to keep playing the boy with a hero complex. The screams stopped and the Death Eater finally decided to take a break. Harry slowly lowered himself to the ground and when he was close enough to the ground, he finally started to hear what the Death Eater was saying.

"...the three of you will die and she will lose her mind? I wonder how Arthur and Molly are going to feel…" The man trailed off with a cackle…
