September 1994
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
After let loose his control over the magical reserve, the whole corridor started to feel suffocating.
Harry carefully separated Luna from his arms, "Can you wait here for some time?"
Luna nodded, "Ok."
Seeing Harry's action of taking out his wand, the other four boys also took out their wand and pointed towards Harry's direction.
Harry chuckled, "Oh! How I just want to make all of you simply disappear? But that would be a mercy for you."
He continued, "I will make an example out of you, so the world knows, what happens to someone when they mess with people, Harry Potter cares about."
Seeing the frightening aura surrounding Harry, the four students gulped in fear and took few steps back.
One among them stammered, "Potter, what are you talking about? Have you gone mad?"
Though the four of them were afraid, they tried to be brave and continued to point their wands towards Harry.
Harry did not respond and raised his wand and in quick succession fired four magical spells, without much wand movement and using silent casting.
Harry's spell casting was so fast that the four boys were unable to react and before they could react the floor near them started to transform and four shadowy structures near each of them came out of the floor.
Each of the rocky shadowy structure clipped one limb each of the boys; and in no time four students were hanging in air with their legs and hands clipped in stone structure.
Harry chuckled, "This is going to be fun."
The other four not even got the chance to scream, when a cutting curse grazed one of the boys in extreme left at his left ankle.
The ankle was split open and bone started to be seen to the naked eye.
The boy shrieked in pain and his scream echoed in Hogwarts corridor. Without wasting much time, Harry repeated the same process to the other leg and then consecutively to the four boys.
All the four boys shrieked with as much sound as they could and pleaded for mercy.
Harry was not in the mood to spare someone today. With another movement of his wand a blood boiling curse struck at the same place, where he had inflicted the cutting curse.
A blood boiling curse directly at the blood brought unimaginable pain to the boys and they only shrieked more in terror.
But this was only the start of what Harry was to do to them.
Harry fired few more spells and from the walls of the Hogwarts corridor, emerged stone needle and pierced the body of each boy.
One needle pierced the calf of the leg, one another thigh. Similarly, two needles pierced the arms and one needle each at the shoulders.
Every non vital part of a human body was pierced.
The boy who was acting as the leader of the group initially, pleaded, "Harry….. please let us go. We will do what you say. Please.. let us go…"
The other three also screamed in pain and pleaded to Harry.
Harry paid no heed and with another of his spell, all the flowing blood from the cuts clotted. This was to prevent them from dying because of blood loss.
At this moment a flutter of footsteps sounded and a group of boys and girls came in Harry's view.
They were the prefects responsible for patrolling the corridors at the night.
The group of incomers shrieked in horror on witnessing the brutal scene in front of them. One of the girls instantly started to vomit.
Harry narrowed his eyes towards the group and they all fumbled back in fear and instantly gathered all their courage and ran away.
Seeing their reaction, Harry frowned and looked for Luna's reaction. He wondered if she would also look at him with an expression of disgust. But contrary to his expectation, Luna was casually sitting on the floor with her body leaning against the corridor wall and had a neutral expression on her face as if she was watching some kind of movie.
Harry again focused on his task at hand and fired scorching curse at the four of them consecutively.
The skin of the four boys started to glow and they felt their skin burning from inside out. With each passing moment their pain increased and so increased their screams.
Harry let their body cool for few moments, when he again fired the same scorching curse again.
But before Harry could fire another of his curse, there was a flutter of footsteps.
Leading the group was the four heads of the houses along with other professors. Following behind them were the prefects and many other students. Ron Weasley was among those students who were at the front.
All the professors gasped at the scene they were witnessing. Snape marched forward, "Potter, you disgusting criminal." And with this a brown coloured spell flew from his wand towards Harry.
Harry moved his head sideways and the spell flew past him. Although Harry wanted to fire few of his curses at Snape too but he knew that doing so would put him at disadvantage.
Harry laughed, "Ah! Can't even land a spell on a child, Snape. What a pathetic wizard you are."
Snape gritted his teeth and got himself ready to fire another spell when, Minerva shouted at top of her lungs, "Severus, stop this nonsense this instant."
She turned towards Harry and her tone got even more stricter, "And what is going on Mr. Potter? What is the madness?"
Before Harry could answer, she shouted again loud, "And someone please take them to the hospital."
At this moment there was sound of apparition and Dumbledore appeared some distance away from the crowd.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and in instant his image transformed from the grandfatherly headmaster to the one of the most powerful wizards he was.
Minerva looked towards Dumbledore for few moments and then took her wand and few spells later, the four boys were freed of their misery.
Immediately Madam Pomfrey arrived forward and levitated the now unconscious students and walked towards the hospital wings.
