Kassandra Bauer and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)

Chapter 28: Harry vs Voldemort.

Pettigrew had untied Harry. 

"Harry?" I asked. "Are you s-sure about this?" I didn't want to lose him too. We already lost Cedric. 

I think that Harry for a split second considered running. But Harry seemed to already have an injured leg, probably from the maze given that he was limping a little. 

And Harry stood on the overgrown grave, as the Death Eaters formed a circle around us and Voldemort so that no gaps existed. Wormtail walked out of the circle to where Cedric lied and returned with Harry's wand. And he thrust them in Harry's hand. But also refusing to meet Harry's eyes. 

"Traitor." I hissed at Pettigrew.

"Listen, Kassie. If I don't get out of here, get to the Portkey the first chance you get. Go back to Hogwarts and tell Dumbledore what happened." Harry instructed.

That was not happening. "No, Harry. I'm not going to leave you." I insisted. "I nearly lost you to the Basilisk, I'm not losing you this time." 

"Kassie! Just do it." Harry told me. And his look told me that I couldn't argue with him this time.

"You've been taught to duel, Harry Potter?" Voldemort asked. His Eyes glittering through the darkness.

"I've had a few teachers." Harry replied. He'd been taught to duel by the Gods, of course. I just hope that Harry was a good student of them. And he seemed that way when we trained him up. But this wasn't a Tournament. This was... a real duel. With one of the Darkest Wizards of this Age. 

"First, we bow to each other, Harry." Voldemort bowed to Harry, but he kept his snake like face up to Harry. "Come, now. Dumbledore would want you to show manners... bow to death, Harry..." 

The Death Eaters laughed again. 

Harry didn't bow. "The only Death, I'll bow to is Hades himself." He looked at me with a confident look. "But I guess I can bow to you this once." He bowed at Voldemort.

"Make him swing and miss. He'll tire." I whispered.

"Kassie? Do I win this duel in this vision?" Harry asked.

"Yes." I answered, even though I didn't know how this duel would end. But if Harry believed he could. It would boost his confidence.

"Very good." Voldemort replied. And then he raised his wand. "And now you face me like man... straight backed and proud, the way your father died..." 

I got out of the way.

"And now- we duel!" Voldemort declared. He shot the first spell. "Crucio!" 

And Harry got hit hard. I couldn't imagine what pain he was in. "Harry! You know what to do! You were shown this! Fight it!" I shouted.

And Harry rolled over and scrambled to his feet. But he managed to fight out of it. 

"So... you did learn to fight it after all." Voldemort noted. "But no matter. As soon as I've killed you, Snyde will kill your little friend." 

"And once I've killed the Greek Brat, I'm going to find Ethan Bauer and kill him too. And his Wife!" Snyde declared.

That tore a new one for me.

"You are no man!" Harry yelled thinking the same thing. And he shot some Dark Magic at Voldemort. Dark Fire had surrounded all over Voldemort and fired all around him. Voldemort shielded himself, but looked stunned.

"Where did you learn that?" Voldemort asked stunned. 

"I told you before. I had many teachers." Harry answered grinning. "Kassie taught me how to do this." He drew out his wand like a blade. It turned into the Khopesh style blade of the energy sword.
