CONSEQUENCE The boy who survived

Chapter 4 -

"Alright Potter," Malfoy sneered once they all got into the Slytherin common room, all of the other Slytherin's had spread out and stood around the edge of the room, including Harry's group while Harry and Draco stood together in the centre of the room. "time to show you why a pureblood is better than a filthy halfblood like yourself!"

Malfoy pulled out his wand and aimed it at Harry, his wand tip glowed as he prepared to cast a spell but he never got to saying the incantation seeing as Harry slapped quickly the wand out of his hand. Malfoy looked stunned, it seemed like the idea of his wand being slapped out of his hand had never had occurred to him.

"Whenever your ready." Harry said with a straight face, something that his friends did not have as they openly snorted and laughed at a reddening Malfoy. Malfoy growled and picked up his wand, he aimed it at Harry only for the results to repeat. "It's alright, take your time."

"Stop that!" Malfoy glared at him.

"Stop what?" Harry asked innocently.

"Stop slapping it out my hand! You halfblood freak!" Malfoy said as he took a step back and fired a spell, Harry dodged the spell and rushed towards Malfoy. He grabbed him by the wrist with one hand and pulled him closer just as his other hand pushed his face and he kicked Malfoy's legs out. Malfoy landed hard on the ground, he groaned in pain. Harry decided to take the opportunity to delicately pluck Malfoy's wand out of his hands.

"Is that better?" Harry asked as he uncaringly tossed Malfoy's wand away. "Warm up wasn't bad. When are we going to start the duel?" Harry asked "Huh Malfoy? Are we going to duel or what?"

"What are you talking about?!" Malfoy demanded as he quickly got to his feet and rushed to pick up his wand.

"What am I talking about?" Harry smirked and looked at his friends. "He doesn't know," Harry said as he gestured to Malfoy. "can you believe that?"

"I would've though that a 'proud pureblood' would know." Violet commented while giving Malfoy a mocking smile.

"Are we sure he is pureblood?" Ryan asked. "We sure he's not just a muggleborn adopted by Malfoy Sr."

"How dare you?!" Malfoy aimed his wand at the group.

"Try it blondie," Red said in a warning tone. "try it and I'll shove that wand right up your..."

"Now, now Red" Harry said with a smile. "it's our duty to educate the uneducated." Harry turned to Malfoy. "Now Malfoy, I won't claim to be an expert but surely you are aware of duelling rules. So you must clearly be aware of the fact that a true duel begins after the two duellist establish a set of rules like civilised men. Since you decided to just jump straight into the combat part I was under the impression you simply wanted to brawl like a common muggle.

Though that's to be expected of a Malfoy, after all it's common knowledge that the only thing important about your family is your money. Without it you'd just be an unimportant pureblood hoping to get noticed. Now this time let's try this like people actually worthy of being in Salazar's noble house, I understand that may be difficult for you but give it a go Malfoy, surely you can get if a 'halfblood freak' like me "

Malfoy reddened in anger and embarrassment, everyone looked at him as Harry's words registered in their ears. They all thought about it and realised that Harry was right as duels were supposed to have the rules set before the duel started, if that did not happen then it was simply fighting which was not something a noble her of a pureblood family would do. What made it worse in Malfoy's opinion, along with certain others, was the fact that a halfblood had to point it out.
