Chapter 525: The Unbreakable Vow (Edited)

Originally, Fish had thought about whether Harry could still do what he did before, and then take the opportunity to take down all the remaining Death Eaters. Then, either fighting Voldemort or escaping, it would be easier.

But it seemed that Voldemort hadn't lied, that the scene had to do with his wands, and once he had used his wand, Harry would have been battered, and if he had fought any more, Harry would have only suffered.

Voldemort looked at Fish and smiled, "There's no hurry, let's wait until he's finished with Harry."

"Harry has already conceded nya!"

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

Fish said with a serious countenance as he stood in front of Harry.

Voldemort, for his part, laughed even more and said, "Concede? There's no such thing as conceding defeat with me, you either serve me or.... you die!"

His glowing red eyes flashed a cruel look as they swept across Harry's face, giving him the illusion of a blade through his neck.

"You really are a bad man, aren't you? Fish won't let you hurt Harry!"

(? `Д′?)

Sharp fingernails protruded from Fish's fingertips, Fish's ears pressed hard against his scalp, and his tail bristled all over.

"Do you want to protect Harry?" Voldemort said softly, "Yes, I can promise you that I won't harm him for now, if you swear loyalty to me and join my Death Eaters."

"No!" Fish refused decisively, "You can't beat Fish!".

"So... what if I beat you?" asked Voldemort, drawing his wand calmly.

"Then neither!" Still, Fish didn't hesitate to retort, "Fish doesn't want to listen to you, a great villain!"

(? `? ′?)

Fish grimaced at Voldemort, once again rejecting his offer.

"Oh, that's right."

Voldemort wasn't angry, but nodded thoughtfully.

"How about this?" he looked at Harry again, and then said to Fish, "We fight, you win, and I'll let you and Harry go, you lose, you must become my minions, and neither I nor they will lay a hand on Harry while we duel. "

Voldemort's attention had been drawn by Fish's sudden attack on the Death Eaters, and while he didn't know exactly what Fish was up to, at least Voldemort could use the opportunity to achieve his goal.

As for his so-called nemesis, Harry Potter, having already defeated him, Voldemort was not so enthusiastic.

"That's not fair! If Fish had won, Harry and I would have been able to leave."

? (? `ω′?) ?

Voldemort's words tempted Fish, if Fish had been alone, he would not have talked to Voldemort, he would have fought him, the reason Fish had not done so was because he feared something would happen to Harry.

However, Voldemort's conditions were too excessive and naturally it was impossible for Fish to agree.

"But if you don't agree, he'll be surrounded by them now, can you really protect him?"

Voldemort said casually, having sensed Fish's weakness, he was sure Fish would agree to his terms.

If he hadn't been so worried about Fish's powers, Voldemort wouldn't have had the patience to stay here, he would have wanted to save his loyal minions in Azkaban and get back to the wizarding ways as soon as possible.

"Fish, don't promise him!"

Harry stopped Fish as he was beginning to hesitate, Voldemort's reputation was so strong that even though he knew Fish was far more powerful than most adult wizards, Harry still didn't believe he could win.

"Leave me alone, find your own way out." whispered Harry to Fish, gripping the wand tightly in his hand.

From Fish's earlier reaction, Harry had an idea what he was thinking and knew he was becoming a liability to Fish.

But Fish ignored Harry, he was as sure of his own strength as Voldemort, and hesitated because of something else besides the unfairness of the offer.....

"How does Fish know if you won't keep your word nya?!" he pursed his lips, pointed to the group of Death Eaters behind Voldemort and said, "Just now you and Harry were fighting, and got involved nya!"

?(?ω?)

Since Fish asked this question, he was obviously ready to agree, and Voldemort naturally had a way of reassuring him... or in other words, Voldemort was anxious for Fish to ask that question.

"That's easy," he said, lifting the corners of his lips, "Let's make an unbreakable Vow."

Fish had heard of unbreakable Vow before in Professor McGonagall's stories, he had even tried to swear an unbreakable Vow with Professor McGonagall to stop her from whipping him... of course, Fish failed.

Now that Voldemort had offered to make an unbreakable Vow with Fish, Fish was curious to try it, because he was curious to know what the spell was all about.

But at the same time, Fish had some concerns, because according to Professor McGonagall, an unbreakable Vow cannot be broken, and whoever breaks it will simply die, which meant that Fish could not escape while he had the chance, but had to defeat Voldemort.

But, as always, Fish relied on his own strength.

So, after a few seconds of hesitation, Fish nodded decisively, held out his right hand to Voldemort and said, "Come on, Fish isn't afraid of you nya!"

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

"Fish..."

Harry tried to approach Fish, but Voldemort stopped him by snapping his fingers and sending a silent petrifying spell.

Fish looked back at Harry, who had frozen instantly, and felt reinforced by the thought of making an unbreakable Vow with Voldemort....

It was harder to think of Harry when he was fighting Voldemort.

"Hahahaha! Very good!". The victorious Voldemort laughed, and also extended his right hand, shaking it with Fish's, as he turned his head to the side and shouted at Barty Crouch Jr. "Barty, you'll be witness to both of us!".

Fish glared at Barty Crouch Jr. as he trotted over, but didn't refuse, since it didn't matter who the witness was anyway.

"By the way, Minerva says that when you swear an unbreakable Vow, you have to be on your knees nya."

"I will kneel to no one." Voldemort said coldly, "Just stand, no problem." He looked at Barty, who was standing next to him, and scolded him, "What are you waiting for?"

"Yes, Master." Barty stepped forward and pushed with the tip of his wand the right hand that Fish and Voldemort were holding between them.

"No one else will interfere in the duel that will take place between you and me. Neither I nor my minions will take the opportunity to attack Harry Potter, nor will you and Harry Potter be able to escape until we have decided on a winner." Voldemort said.

Fish cocked his head to one side for a moment and, appearing to have no problem, nodded, "No problem nya."

A thin, dazzling tongue of flame erupted from Barty Crouch Jr.'s wand, like red hot metal wire, and wrapped around both of his hands.

"Yes Fish wins, you have to let Harry and I go... um.... you're not allowed to send people after us nya!"

Fish made his demand.

"Sure, no problem." Voldemort said lightly, his tone full of confidence, he obviously didn't think he was going to lose.

A second tongue of flame erupted from the wand, twisting with the first to form a thin glowing red chain.

"If I am victorious, you must serve me and become my subordinate."

"Okay nya!"

Fish's tone was just as confident, he didn't think he was going to lose either.

A third tongue of flame erupted from the wand, intertwining with the previous two to form a red chain.

"Then the Vow stands." Voldemort's lipless mouth twisted into a satisfied but ugly smile.

When Barty withdrew his wand, the chains that had wrapped his hands vanished, as if they had seeped into his skin.

"Harry, get away nya!"

Fish said to Harry as he removed the petrification spell.

"Fish...you have to do better than that!" Harry gritted his teeth and stepped back in resignation.

"You go too!"

Voldemort ordered, and quickly stepped back a bit....

He had suffered before and didn't want to go near Fish.

As soon as Harry was out of sight, Fish took the form of a clouded leopard and pounced on Voldemort.

"Roarr~!"
