Chapter Six: Wand Purification and Empowerment Ceremony

It was midnight in the grounds where exactly three years from now, the quidditch world cup was held. There was nobody here except for an old man who was putting things on a cauldron. He was conjuring things from his wands and putting them in a cauldron. There was another man there, tall, white and very snake like, the dark lord was waiting there with patience, waiting for his death eaters to arrive. But before they come with their innocent victims, Ollivander was supposed to prepare the special wand-burs potion. The potion that will engulf fifty innocent potions and produce an evil fire that will a fire that will enter the dark lord’s wand and make it more powerful wand that Potter’s. and then, the only weapon left to Potter would go too.

‘the potion is ready, my lord,’ said Ollivander.

‘Good,’ said Voldemort. And he pressed his dark mark.

All around the ground, people started to appear out of nowhere. They were death eaters, masked and carrying children with them. Each death eater had a eleven to fifteen year old child with him. There were some death eaters who apparated alone. And within seconds, there were fifty children who were kidnapped, all holding their wands but who were now being put inside a silver ball. A huge silver ball that was more like a cage inside which those children were trapped.

And now the dementors were coming. Their presence was necessary as this process can only be successful when there is gloom, sadness and coldness, when all hope has died. And there were around a hundred dementors. The children were screaming, some crying, some shouting jinxes at the death eaters, but all this was a waste. Nothing would penetrate the big silver orb that encaged them.

And now Voldemort spoke, to the children, ‘you are lucky, that you are dying serving the Dark Lord. Your death will help me becoming more powerful, not that I am any less, but still, eternal power is what I will get. And I thank you for helping me achieve that. Now you will have to one by one, duel me, and die. So let’s begin who will come first?’

But the answer to that was never known, as at that very moment, around twenty-five patronuses came out zooming towards the dementors, making them run away from the scenario. One of them, was a big silver stag.

‘NOOOOOOOOOOO’ shrieked Voldemort.

And soon, the patronuses vanished, and out of nowhere, appeared a huge number of people. Men, women, kids. With their wands read, at first sight of any death eater, they shouted jinxes and curses. And all of them were very good at it. The death eaters, puzzled and shocked with the new arrivals were not even ready for dueling and were hence becoming victims of the new attackers. Voldemort was not fighting anyone. he was looking for Harry, as he knew he must be here.

The best and the most enthusiastic amongst the fighters were the DA members. Colin and Denis were shouting well aimed stunning spells at any hooded man they could see. Neville was using the sectumsempra curse, he had already used it on yaxley and a few others who were now howling in pain. Luna was using body-binding curses, she has already used it on Macnair, a big black death eater and a small witch. Ginny was using her famous bat-boogey hex. She has already caught Dolohov and an unusually tall witch. The others - order members, Hogwarts teachers and some relatives of the DA members were also fighting enthusiastically. Ron, Hermione and Harry were running towards the big cauldron.

‘we don’t have to harm Ollivander,’ shouted Harry as Ollivander came pointing his wand towards them. But Ron was quicker. He stunned Ollivander and Hermione pointed her wand towards the cauldron and shouted ‘GUSTEREGO’ and she made some extremely complex movements. And the cauldron busted. It’s fluid fell on the ground and they ran for their lives as they knew that Voldemotr knew what they had done.

And sure enough, he were coming towards them. He then pointed his wand towards Harry and shouted ‘crucio’. But the curse did not do anything. Voldemort fell backwards. Somebody had casted a protective charm between them.

And very soon, they were joined by ministry people. There was the Minister, along with Percy, and many other people. They came and started fighting the death eaters.

‘The snake,’ Harry shouted at Hermione and Ron, ‘let’s get the snake if we can.’

And the ran in all directions to look for the snake. But Nagini was nowhere. While looking for her Harry found his least favorite student at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy. As soon as he found Harry, he pulled is wand and shouted ‘crucio’. He was quicker than Harry. The spell hit, not Harry but Avery, the death eater just behind Harry. ‘run’ Malfoy told Harry. And look behind you next time, or you might die.

‘Draco,’ shouted a man behind him. it was Lucius Malfoy. ‘what are you doing? Haven’t we already spoken about this?’

‘I told you that I am tired. Tiered of being a death eater. I hate having it on my hand, that mark.’

‘Then you will have to fight me,’ said Lucius, and he pulled his wand and shouted ‘Stupe-

‘Impedimenta’ shouted Harry, protecting Draco. But before they could say anything, Ron shouted, ‘It’s here, Harry, come fast’

And Harry ran towards Ron and Hermione, who were near the big white ball. The snake had starting penetrating inside it. The children inside it were looking mortally scared.

‘How should we kill it?’ asked Harry.

‘SECTUMSEMPRA’ shouted Ron. Nothing happened.

‘No, no… it’s too well protected. This won’t do’ said Hermione. ‘let me think… let me think…’
The snake had already penetrated half into the orb and was looking at the children inside it with a hungry look.

‘Hermione, think fast,’ said Ron.

‘I am trying,’ said Hermione, ‘oh! Yes, that might work, Puriotum Sliverius Ignotum’

And silver sparks flew from her wand, the sparks were like dust, but pure and positive. Harry could feel a certain happiness seeing them. it was, he thought, awesome. And they trapped the great snake. As soon as the snake came in contact with the silver dust, it experienced pain, immense pain. And very soon it split in two. And from inside it came out a translucent form of Voldemort, grey in color. It reached the sky and screamed, and then vanished. And grey dust fell all over.

Seeing that, Voldemort screamed and shouted. He then said in a loud voice that reached every ear there, ‘come back, all my servants, come back,’ and he spparated out of the place. Soon after, followed the death eaters.

As soon as they left, there was a roar of cheering all over. People were hugging each other and jumping with joy. Harry Ron and Hermione joined the celebration, even though their reason for celebration was totally different, they were at last, one more horcrux down.
