Chapter 144

"And since then…oh yes," the man let out a chuckle as he spat out a mouthful of blood "…I didn't have the heart to kill that little shit, but she's been takin all the punishments she needs to get all that freakishness out of her. She's been takin it in the right places too," the man broke out in deranged laughter.

Kill.

Harry's scar seared with terrible pain and Gamer's Mind snapped.

He turned around and launched a fiery fist right into the man's side. The man screamed in agony as his flesh burned away.

"They say drowning is the most painful way to die," Harry said through gritted teeth, gaining a narrow tunnel vision as he pulled out a bunch of water bottles from his inventory and pulled all the water out of them with his mana. "Who better to test it on than you?"

The water shot forward and coalesced into a giant fishbowl sized orb around the man's head, preventing him from breathing. The man struggled and tried to scream as his breath was taken away, and water started flooding his lungs. A quick Observe on the man's HP bar showed Harry the HP bar.

HP: 925/1500

HP: 900/1500

HP: 875/1500

Harry watched with a wild grin, only half aware of what he was doing as the man slowly headed towards the painful death he deserved in front of his eyes. Through the wild haze of unearthly rage and sadism, he didn't even feel an ounce of regret at what he was doing and was waiting for the man to pass, when suddenly, unbidden, and out of nowhere, a months-old memory came to the front of his mind.

It was Harry. But he was older. His eyes were glowing, one of them an unnatural green and the other a bloody crimson.

Harry Potter

There were dozens of lifeless unmoving bodies scattered across the room. Stifling a horrified gasp, Harry saw the faces of Hermione, Terry, Ron and Dean amongst the many faceless corpses.

Harry froze, and let his mana go from the water. The liquid fell to the ground, no longer holding its magic enforced shape. The deranged man was gulping down air in wheezes and coughing out the water that now filled most of his lungs.

Harry's thoughts cleared for the fraction of a second. It wasn't much, but it was enough for Gamer's Mind to take hold.

"No…this man deserves to die…" Harry muttered to himself, "but I can't be the one to murder him…I can't"

The little piece of shit wheezed and coughed and tried to get back up onto his feet.

Suddenly, a spike of rage took over Harry. He lifted his foot, and with all of his considerable strength, slammed it right on the man's leg, shattering the entire bone into dozens of pieces.

The man gurgled in pain as he rolled about on the floor. Harry watched him in disgust.

"My conscience can only force me to not kill you right here and right now you filthy mongrel. Whether you survive the time between now and when the Aurors find you, is none of my concern," Harry spat at the man before he placed a hand on the man, and muttered "ID Escape."

"Silencio. Petrificus Totalus," he cast at the man that lay on the floor, making sure that he wouldn't be able to get any help until the authorities arrived. And then, he disapparated away from the man's house. He had to find the Ministry's nightly Auror patrol now.

And hope to all heavens that they didn't shoot him down.

Nympadora Tonks was having a nice week.

She had aced most of her first batch of Auror exams earlier that week, after which she'd just been officially given the legal authority to arrest, question and detain people. And now she was heading out for the Ministry's nightly perimeter patrols with one of her older friends, Emmeline Vance.

Most of the first part of the patrol went swimmingly, with only a few thieves to drive away and loads of idle chitchat and leisurely walking with each other.

It wasn't until they were walking through the abandoned roads behind the Diagon Alley, that it all went tits up.

"Hello Miss Tonks" a vaguely familiar voice called from behind them.

The two DMLE members quickly whirled around with their wands out. Tonks's eyes widened as he saw who it was.

It was the man who had rescued her from those muggles! The man she'd seen in the Hogwarts tower all those months ago! The man whose features always remained vague in her mind, no matter how hard she tried to remember or describe them.

And he had the limp body of what looked like a six or seven-year-old girl in his arms.

"Freeze!" she heard Emmeline yell, "Let that girl go right now! What have you done to her!?"

"Her name is Anny Harper, and she is in no danger from me. However, she may be suffering from some serious mental trauma due to what happened to her before I got to her," the man said, his voice turning grim.

"We'll be the judge of that sir! Now please put the girl down an-"

"It's alright Emmeline. He's safe," Tonks interrupted her companion, who hesitated for a second before lowering her wand.

"What happened to her?" Tonks asked, lowering her own wand.

"What almost happened to you a year ago."

A gasp escaped her as her eyes shot to the girl in his hands.
