“Now, tell me Harry Potter. Do you want this suffering to be over soon?” questioned Voldemort.
“No, I want this to keep this up for a long time.” Harry answered sarcastically.
“Well, that can be arranged. Alohomora.” The door of Harry’s cage flew open. “Come out and fight, Harry Potter.” Voldemort took the curse off of Harry’s wand and threw it on the floor outside the cage. Harry crawled out of the cage and grabbed his wand. “Stand up!” Voldemort ran and got ready for the duel. Harry stood up and faced Voldemort. Harry looked around and saw that all of the Death Eaters were going to witness their duel. “Now, we bow.” Voldemort bowed but Harry didn’t. “Now Potter, you don’t want the same thing to happen to you that happened in your fourth year? Now bow.” Harry still didn’t bow. “Fine.” Voldemort flicked his wand and Harry bowed to Voldemort. “Now we begin. Deprimo!”
A powerful wind came towards Harry and he was thrown into a tree. Harry stood up and walked back towards Voldemort. “Furnunculus!” The spell came towards Voldemort, but Voldemort blocked it. Then, the spell came for Malfoy.
“No! Potter!” Malfoy was covered with boils. Malfoy pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry.
“Expelliarmus!” Malfoy’s wand flew out of his hand.
“Crucio!” Voldemort’s curse came towards Harry.
“Ahhh!” Harry fell to the ground in pain. “Ahhh!” He was rolling on the ground and kicking.
Voldemort flicked his wand and the curse lifted. “Get up Potter!”
Harry tried to get up but he fell back down.
“Belatrix, what does this remind you of?”
Belatrix stepped forwards and looked at Harry. She let out a cackle. “When the Longbottoms got in my way! Those stupid people. The only one who is more stupid then them is their son.”
Harry looked at Belatrix. “Expelliarmus!”
Belatrix turned around and blocked his cursed. It went back on Harry who got thrown back.
“Harry Potter, you need to work on your dueling.”
Harry got up and saw Snape through the side of his vision. Then, he remembered the second year and how Snape was so confident. Harry got into his stance and looked at Voldemort.
“Stupefy.”
Harry blocked the curse.
“Incendio!” Flames came hurling towards Harry. Harry dove out of the way to escape getting fried. “Sectumsempra.” Harry felt his chest and saw his blood on his hand. Then, Harry fell to the ground. It felt like he was cut with a sword.
“No!” Snape stepped forwards. Harry saw that Snape had turned ghostly white. Voldemort had used Snape’s own curse against Harry.
“What is wrong Severus? You don’t like seeing the precious Harry Potter dying right in front of you?”
“No, My Lord. I was just not ready for this spell to be cast upon him.”
“Harry Potter, next time you decide to pull an attitude with me this will happen to you again and Severus will not heal you. Do I make myself clear?”
Harry was losing consciousness. “I…I…I,” He was going to die right here, in front of all of the Death Eaters.
“Good. Severus, go heal him, but not all the way, and make it painful. Incarcerous.” Harry was bounded head to foot in ropes, which were cutting into his skin.
Snape walked over to Harry and kneeled down beside him. “Potter, you deserved that.”
“Don’t forget to make it painful,” Voldemort walked away, laughing.
Snape started uttering the counter-curse, but it sounded different to the one Harry heard Snape say when he was healing Malfoy. Then, out of the blue, there was a thrust of pain in his chest. “Ahhh!”
“Stop moving Potter, and this will be over faster.”
Finally, Harry fell into unconsciousness.
