Chapter 44.1- Doom Days
Added 2025-07-13 08:02:26 +0000 UTCI struck first, and I struck twice. One spell for Krum, the other for Fleur— bludgeoners that left my wand like fireworks and splattered out against their shields. I was forced to spin out of the way of Cedric’s piercing hex. Krum aimed a dark lance of magic at me that I failed to recognise so I dodged it to avoid complications, and felt a metallic taste in my mouth as the spell passed my head. Interesting. I trued to break it down even as I stepped. Back and twirled my wand to form a spinning shield that took Fleur’s spell head on before I sent a blasting curse at the ground right in front of Krum’s feet. He was sent flying off the platform even as both Fleur and Cedric hammered me with spells from both sides.
“You know it’s not a good look, teaming up against the fourteen-year old?” I asked even as I weaved this way and hat, blocking the spells and deflecting the ones I could.
I was forced to hunker down into a mage shield as Krum flew back onto the platform with a savage incantation on his lips— “Fulgur”. The bolt of black lightning hit my golden shield and sent me skidding backwards. It was all I could do to dig my feet in and prevent myself from being sent flying even as I forced more and more magic into the mage shield. What made the mage shield special and different from the protego, was that despite its disadvantage in only being able to block magic where the protego could affect physical objects, it could access a greater upper level of protection as it got stronger the more magic was funneled through it.
The air tasted like salt when the spell stopped and I barely managed to fall to my knee to avoid Fluer’s spell that shot through the weak point in my shield Krum’s spell had created.
“Think of us teaming up against you as a compliment, ‘Arry” She said with a laugh as I had to send a banisher at the dogs Cedric was sending my way.
