Odin In The Wizarding World

Chapter 3 - 3: Fighting side by side

''... Did you try to kill me?'' Edward repeats his question to Krum, who not only looks shocked, but also distressed as he fights against the effects of the Veritaserum.

Loosing his battle against the serims effect, Krum says through clenched teeth. ''Yes, I did. What did you do to me?''

Hearing his friends confession, Edwards heart and gaze turn cold, as more questions emerge. Drawing his wand, he asks. ''A few droplets of Truth Serum, but that is not the point... Why poison me? With Karkaroffs duell rules in place, you would have had a legal chance to kill me, knowing that I would never kill you. Poison is just not your style Vic. Did Karkaroffs tell you to kill me via poison?''

Shocked and horrified Krum stutters. ''What are you talking about? I- I- I only tryed to kill you in our first year in our first duell in the Dark Arts!''

Remembering the day, Edwards heart started to slowly melt. That day, Victor like everybody else had mocked and mobbed him for his half-blood heritage until Dark Arts. There Karkaroff himself had paired the class into groups of two that were supposed to duell each other. Wanting to demonstrate the strength of pure-bloods, Karkaroff choose Edward and Krum as the first to showcase their skills. Expecting an easy win for the pure-blooded Krum, everybody including Karkaroff was shocked as Edward won by instant casting an Expelliarmus. From that day on they were best friend despite being rivals.

Remembering the good days since then, Edwards lowers his wand. ''I am sorry brother, I just...''

Before he can finish his apology, their tent is hit by a fire ball burning a hole in one side of it. Looking through the hole, Edward sees some figures in pointed hoods carrying flaming torches as they are walking across the campsite chanting ominous noises. The crowd is paniced and rushing all over. Looking beside himself he finds Krum wand already drawn ready to battle beside him.

''Who ever tryed to kill you, I feel honored to be your first suspect, brother.'' Says Krum smirking at him before storming out of the tent already spell chanting.

''Actually you and Karkaroff...'' Murmers Edward to himself, as he follows behind Victor, instant casing a rain spell from the tip of his wand to put out nearby fires. In doing so, he draws the attention of all nearby Death Eaters on himself and several green glowing spells are send his way. Avoiding all of them by sheer stupidity, except one that is aiming for his c.h.e.s.t, Edward is surprised to find Victor dispersing it before it can actually hit him. Surprised from his friends sudden appearance and being pushed back, he falls on his b.u.t.t saying. ''Thanks.''

''No problem.'' Says Krum while giving Edward a hand to stand up. Taking the hand, Edward finds a Death Eater aim for Krum.

''Glacius!'' He shouts out, instantly doubling the spells strengh, as a blast of freezing cold air from the tip of his wand. As the spell instantly freezes the Eater alive aswell as ten meters around the unlucky bastard, cracks appear on Edwards wand as the spell ends.

Unable and uninterested in fighting the Deat Eater all alone with only Victor by his side, he continues to cast his freezing spell as they retreat into the nearby woods like everybody else. Some brave but stupid retreating wizards try to establish a line of fire only to be killed instantly until aurors are able to fill the gaps.

Under a bombarded of spells from both sides, Edward enters the woods, only to find himself separate from Krum. Taking cover behind a wide tree, he finally finds temporary shelter. Having used the spell for offence as well as defence, the cracks have only widen significantly. Trying to cast a spell, he finally shatters into fine sharts of frozen wood and metal.

Looking around, Edward is surprised to spot his sister together with a group of boys, the most showy among them a blond one pointing at her with an evil smile. Unable to hear but guess the boys insults and accusations, the former Allfarthers blood atarts to boil.

Leaving his cover, Edward starts running in his sisters direction. As he does, he silently whispers 'accio wand' and the wand of a nearby dead wizard instantly shoots into his hand. Seeing a crowed slowly form around his sister and two boys, some even aiming their wands at them, he looses it.

As he appoaches his sister and her friends, he shouts. ''Expelliarmus!''

Bosted by his rage the spell changes it's form from a single-target to a multi-target one, as several wands instantly jump out of their owner hands to burry themselfs deep into the forest floor.

Finally catching up to his sister and her friends, he finds her looking wide eyed up at him.

''Wow, totally badass!'' Says one of her friend with red hair, before the other a shy looking boy with glasses steps on his feet making him yelp saying. ''Shut up Ron!''

Oblivious to every around her, his sister Hermione suddely asks nearly whispering. ''Edward? Is that you?''

''Yes, I is me...'' He tells her, a moment before he is send flying by a spell of hers.

''How could you do this?!...'' She shouds at him. ''... Four god dam years. Mom and dad missed you for four years! Where where you?'''

Remembering that the previous Edward didn't return he for four years after learning about his biological fathers deeds during the first wizard war. Feeling ashamed for not only his existance, but also his own growing evil tendencies, he head keeped a distance both his mother and sister. Not returning home to neither holidays nore birthday's.

Shacking of the guilt of his past self, the New Edward reminds himself, that he is better than the former weak Edward, so he says. ''I know and I am sorry little sis.''

That said, he sees anger, shock and love flash over Hermiones face, as he internally accepts her as his sister. Just going by the look on her face Edward can guess that his new little sister did not expect him to apologise.

Before they can continue their rebonding time, a fireball shoots tight past Edward. Turning around while kneeling down at the same time, he instantly is able to spot the attacking Death Eater.

''Flipendo!'' Edward says casting a jinx, that propells the Eater backwards and on top of a broken pinty tree stump, impaling him on it. Turning back around, he finds Hemione and her friends look shocked at him.

''What? He was the first to attack... Look out!'' Edward tells them as another fireball comes flying their way, before casting. ''Protego.''

As the fireball hits the barrier created by Edward, several other Death Eaters join the attack.

Constantly spamming barriers, Edward shouts at Hermione and her friends. ''Run, I will cover you...'' Seeing hesitation in their eyes, he continues. ''... Go! NOW!''

As he contiues to cast Protego, Edward sees his sister being dragged away by her friends. Not needing to block every single spell shot his way, he starts to tap into his sealed potential carried over from his life as the Allfather. Looking up into the storm clouded sky, he starts to wordlessly cast Fiendlightning.

Shocked to see somebody capable to fight them, some Death Eaters start to slowly retreat. As light descents from the dark clouds above, only to gather around the tip Edwards 'borrowed' wand, scorching its white wood black. Making a trowing gesture, a gigantic black raven sweeps over the Death Eaters present, it's silhouette framed by lighting. Drowned in a sea of lighting, one forth the enemies are instantly turned into scared husks, devoid of any liquid, while the a other forth is simply falling over dead, like puppets that have their strings cut.

Outputting more magic power than his body can withstand, Edwards body suddenly shuts down mid casting, preventing him from sustaning the Fiendlightning as well as his consciousness.
