Sasuke Uchiha in Harry Potter - Part 2

Teams

Sasuke: Let's go, everyone! Attack!

No one moved; everyone was stunned, staring at Sasuke.

Sasuke moved and, with his right hand, grabbed Zacharias' face.

Holding him, he lifted him up and then threw him backward; Zacharias fell onto his back.

Sasuke: Didn't you hear me? I said to attack me!

Draco reacted first, lunging forward with his fist extended. Sasuke blocked it with a single hand.

Sasuke: Is that all you've got? Put a bit more strength into it.

Draco kept swinging with both arms, but his strikes were thwarted by Sasuke's right hand.

Sasuke struck Draco's supporting foot, causing him to tumble to the ground. Before he fell, Sasuke hit his chest with the palm of his hand.

Sasuke: When you attack, you must not show any openings.

Sasuke: Don't just stand there.

Daphne, Astoria, Luna, and Hermione hesitated.

A voice from behind said, "Take this."

Sasuke blocked the blow without looking and then applied a hold, forcing the attacker to the ground.

Sasuke: Zacharias, if you're going to attack from behind, be quiet; don't shout.

The others joined in but ended up the same way, on the floor.

Sasuke: Looks like we need to start from the basics. For now, I've gathered the information I needed. Let's go.

The others stood up and headed toward the castle.

Hermione: That was a good experience, but with my N.E.W.T.s and D.A., I don't think I'll have time. Still, you're all welcome to join the D.A. whenever you want.

Sasuke: I won't be joining. I have things to do too. Plus, with all this Ministry business, I'll be busy.

Draco: I won't be joining the D.A. either.

Daphne and Astoria: We feel the same way.

Luna and Ginny: We'll drop by occasionally.

Zacharias: I've learned enough magic; this seems more interesting.

Sasuke moved at a normal pace while the others lagged behind due to fatigue. Each one went to their common room; Sasuke took a quick shower, went to his room, and read books on magical runes. In his thoughts, he wondered how to prevent Tom from escaping. Sasuke meditated and recalled his confrontations with Tom, especially the last one when he had the Rinnegan activated. He had seen the magic generated within Tom's body to transform into mist and how he used Apparition. Anti-Apparition spells had no effect on him, as Tom had managed to escape from the Ministry of Magic; perhaps those spells didn't work on him because the caster was weaker.

Sasuke: If I use magical artifacts, I'll need to rewrite the rune since, in our last confrontation, they didn't seem to have a significant effect. The magical artifact could be enhanced with additional magic or have a rune that ensures a constant flow of energy, preventing it from depleting at a critical moment. Either way, I need to research more and conduct further experiments.

The next day:

In the Slytherin common room, Sasuke was reviewing a parchment with the names of the 18 first-year students who stayed to learn magic.

Daphne and Astoria approached him.

Daphne: Sasuke, what are you doing?

Sasuke: I was reviewing the list of first-year students to divide them into groups. I believe I've finished this task.
