Chapter 80 - Level 46 - ... story ends! (1/2)
Spells were flying left and right. Harry and his team were on their last breath, fighting out for their lives. Thankfully, Sirius, Moody, and others came in to help, but even with them, the situation was dire. He and Neville were trying to get out, but then Dumbledore appeared. And he thought that here it is, they are saved.
But then he saw spell hit Black and his world came to a stop. But then slowly it came back to a crawl, and he started falling towards the arc behind him.
”Accio doggo”
And the already falling body was tossed back in the opposite direction towards the person who cast the summoning charm.
Second, later, the mysterious man caught Sirius by his coat.
”Expecto Ignis Daemonium”
”Silencio Locus”
2 spells rocked space in which fight was taking place. First calling a terrifying creature of pure fire into our world and second enforcing silence upon the territory.
But a sense of wrongness was growing stronger with every second. Humans, creatures accustomed to always hearing something, suddenly appeared in the location where space itself lost meaning of sound. People couldn't even hear their heartbeats.
Finally, the mysterious man who up until now, had his head covered by the long and wide hood connected to a very big coat covering his whole body, raised hands to show his face.
Surprise and recognition bloomed on the faces of those who knew that person. But the person in question, Magnus didn't care. He simply waved his hand, letting demon on the rampage, while personally slowly moved towards the arc.
He never looked at others even once. He was solely focused on the veil and energy covering this artifact.
Others wanted to help, to scream, to speak, but couldn't. Demon mercilessly was commencing a massacre among the death-eaters, who couldn't cast any spells. However, the inability to cast spells didn't affect truly powerful wizards, so they tried to escape. That included Bellatrix.
But as soon as she escaped the room, Magnus looked in her direction and, after a brief second of considering, followed.
Demon looking at how his master was leaving and how prey was running out started dissipating in the air, leaving only dust behind.
When Magnus left, Silencio moved with him. So, wizards could finally speak. That was a perfect chance for death-eaters to retaliate, but unfortunately for them, Dumbledore had more experience. They ended up stunned before they could even raise their wands.
People here collected themselves and the first thing Harry did was checking on Sirius.
They expected to hear fighting sounds or at least some debris left after the fight, but they found nothing of such. On the opposite, they became spectators of a silent scene, where Bellatrix Lestrange was held by the throat, hanging in the air soundlessly gasping for air.
Unexpectedly, the Dark Lord himself appeared in the middle of the hall.
