Neville Longbottom, the boy who lived year 4

Chapter 17

After he looked at himself he stood there and looked at him. He looked at him back. Then he looked at Wormtail.

"My wand Wormtail." Voldemort said.

He bent down and handed him his wand.

"Hold out your arm."

"Master, thank you Master." he said and took out his arm.

"The other arm Wormtail!" he said then took his arm and put his wand on the mark.

Sure enough some of his Death Eaters appeared.

"Welcome my friends, thirteen years it's been. And yet here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself, disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me. Crabbe! McNair! Goyle! Not even you, Lucius."

"My lord I didn't detect any of your wear a-bouts!" Lucius said.

"There were signs my slippery friend!" Voldemort said back.

"I returned." Wormtail said.

Then Voldemort headed to him. "Out of fear not loyalty. Still, you have proven yourself useful these past few months Wormtail."

Then he waved his wand over Wormtail's arm. "Thank you Master, thank you!"

"May your loyalty never end."

"No master, never."

"Oh, ch,ch,ch such a handsome boy."

"Don't touch him!"

He looked up. "Oh, Neville, I'd almost forgotten you were here! Standing on the bones of my father. I'd introduce you but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days."

He looked at the others and then back at Neville.

"The boy, who lived. How lies after your legend Neville. Shall I reveal what really happened that night thirteen years ago? How I truly lost my power? It was love. You see when dear sweet Alice Longbottom and Lily Potter tried to give their lives for their sons they provided the ultimate protection. And Neville going in front of his best friend, the boy I was truly after I could not touch them. But that was, old magic. Something I should have for seen."

Then he looked at him. "But no matter no matter, things have changed." He took out his hand. "I can, touch you, now."

Then he put a finger on his scar.

"Ahhhhhhh!" he yelled.

A few seconds later took his hand off of his scar.

"Astonishing what a drop of your blood will do ah Neville?" Then he raised his wand. "Crucio!"

"Ahhhh!" he yelled.

A few seconds later he stopped and let Neville go.

"Pick up your wand Longbottom! I said pick it up. Get up get up!"

He started to get up and look away for a second.

"You've been taught how to duel I presume yes? First we bow to each other."

He just stood there while he bowed a little.

"Come on now Neville, Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget your manners would he? I said, bow!"

"Err!" he said and felt himself bowing.

"Very good. And now, we duel! Crucio!"

He started screaming hard again. And then it stopped. He rolled over.

"A little beak?" He looked at him. "a little pause... That hurt, didn't it Neville?

Then he took out his wand.

"Expelliarmus!" he yelled.

Then he was back on his back.

"I'm going to kill you Neville Longbottom. After tonight if they speak of you they'll speak only of how you, begged for death. And I being a powerful lord implied it. Then I'll kill the boy I tried to kill thirteen years ago." He took out his hand. "Get up!"

Then he turned around and ran.

"Don't you turn your back on me Neville Longbottom! I want you to look at me when I kill you! I want to see the light leave your eyes!"

He sat there and took a deep breath. Then he went determined. Not as determined as Harry would though.

"Have it your way. Expelliarmus!"

"Avada kadevera!" Voldemort yelled back.

Then their wands went together.

Suddenly there was a light and people started to appear. First was Cedric, then the old man from his dream, then his parents.

" Neville! When the connection is broken you must get back to the portkey. We can linger for a moment and give you some time but only a moment do you understand?" Frank said.

He nodded.

" Neville," He looked at Cedric. "Bring my body back will you? Bring my body back to my father." he nodded.

"Let go. Sweetheart you're ready. Let go! Let go!" Alice said.

So he pulled his wand off and the others kept him busy.

He ran back to Cedric.

"Accio!"

Then he was gone. Voldemort looked around.

"Ah, ahhhhh!" he yelled in anger.
