Chapter 22 - CH 22

Carrow walked over to her and knelt down, gently caressing her face.

"I promise I'll one day make it up to you…we have a lifetime to spend together," he said, "But now it's time to settle an old score."

With that, Carrow turned around, and Harry knew that if he didn't want his relatives to die a swift and painful death, now would be the time to interfere.

It was time to put his plan in motion.

And so, with Gamer's Mind firing on all cylinders, Harry turned on the spot and silently apparated to a spot just a couple of feet behind the Death Eater. In one swift and planned movement, Harry used Accidental magic to light his hands ablaze with the hottest fire he could conjure up, activated the Wardstone Perk, and grabbed Carrow's right hand before using his boosted strength to bend and crush it with all his might.

Carrow near-instantly jumped away, but Harry had felt the flesh sizzling and the bones cracking under his palms, and he knew the deed was done when he saw the bone-white stick clatter onto the floor and a primal scream of pain ring in his ears.

The Death Eater was completely thrown off balance, his weapon lost and his mind struggling to comprehend how the events had turned against him so swiftly, but Harry was on the top of his game. Taking advantage of the opening, he swiftly set his fists ablaze again and using his superior Dex, weaved in between his opponent's guard and drove them into his knees. Carrow crumpled to the ground.

His plan had worked after all. Being underestimated was the best weapon out there.

Being faced by someone as helpless without magic as Carrow, Harry was in his element. He had fought playground fights his entire life. This time, he just had a bigger target to hit. Punch. Punch. Punch. Dodge the swinging arm. Punch to the spine. Punch to the groin. Punch to the back of the neck. There was no trick too dirty with his life at stake, and Harry wasn't holding back. His eyes were wide and he was shivering with adrenaline. This was the first time he had ever truly dominated someone in a fistfight, and it felt incredible. He had to force himself to stop when he did...

By the time he was done, Carrow was a motionless, smoking heap lying on the Dursley's curb.

Bloodlust, Harry realized. He'd just felt bloodlust for the first time.

A loud ping broke him out of his reverie.

Harry waved those away, thankful that he had managed to pull off the surprise attack. He quickly checked his stats. He'd felt his Boosts fall away from exhaustion a few moments ago, so he wasn't surprised by the numbers.

HP-170/200

MP- 2/100

Glad that he'd checked his mana before trying to apparate or something, Harry quickly took out the hotcakes from breakfast that he had stored away and ate them up. A couple of hotcakes later, Harry's MP was full and much to his pleasant surprise, the cuts and scrapes he received from the scuffle were fully healed.

Not even a scar remained.

Harry sighed with relief, but he didn't dare rest. He had to clean up this mess before anyone else, especially the Dursleys noticed it.

Dragging the steaming hot Carrow over to where the unconscious Ms. Roemmele lay, Harry placed a hand on both their bodies and with a prayer to the heavens that his Apparition ability could carry more than one person, he visualized the only teacher's office he knew well enough to have memorized and twisted on the spot.

It was just as much, if not more painful than the first time he'd apparated, to carry two extra people, but he did do it, and a brief moment later, the three of them appeared in the dimly lit office of Ms. Roemmele at Harry's school.

"I did it!" Harry said joyously before he turned to look at his passengers and his jaw dropped. As it turned out, that it wasn't the case.

Ms. Roemmele's entire head of hair was missing.

Harry paused for a moment to stare at the sight of his most frightening teacher, knocked out and bald, before bursting out into hysteric laughter. Perhaps it was the adrenaline in his veins or just the sheer absurdity of his situation, but he just couldn't hold it in anymore.

The school grounds echoed with the wild laughter of a small boy that night, that eventually broke down into hiccups and sobs. If anyone heard it, they never spoke of it again.

He had been worried about leaving her with the Death Eater, but it was doubtful that the man was going to wake up anytime soon. When Harry had finally seen Miss Roemmele moving about, clearly close to waking up, he had apparated back to the Dursley house, where he had been repeatedly questioned by the adult Dursleys about why he had been late and had then been promptly locked in his cupboard for the night.

Still, he'd managed to get a Lying level out of it.

Lying, Lv-3 (40%)

This is your ability to lie to people, the higher the level the better the lie and less chance of discovery!

15% chance of success, less based on how extreme the lie is.

Besides, getting grounded was perfectly fine with him, since he had to look over his spoils of war from his fight with Carrow to look over.

The first, and probably the most interesting, was the magic stick that he had dropped when Harry had first burned him. He'd found it lying on the ground in front of the house. When Harry had reached out to touch it, he'd gasped with shock when his hand had touched an invisible hard surface that seemed to cover the wand spherically.

It didn't allow him to touch it, so Harry just used a shovel, which it seemed perfectly fine with, to scoop it and put it into his school bag and carry it into his cupboard, where he was now trying every way he could think of to get through the barrier.

Finally, after an hour of experimentation, he impatiently threw half his MP towards the surface and winced when with a spike of pain, his HP dropped by 50 and a new window popped up.

New skill created!

Runic Burnout Lv-1 (60%)

A precise sucking of magic from a ward by using it to refill one's own core. It starts causing damage to HP when magic continues to be sucked after the MP is full. A common way to get around it is to use up mana as fast as it comes in.

Harry nodded to himself as he read over the skill, noting that he'd have to careful with the next wards he encountered. They seemed to have a knack for knocking him out. Besides, this skill was by and in itself dangerous, even without any MP cost.

Putting all of that out of his mind, he used Observe on the wand.

The Riddler's Wand

This wand is made out of yew and has a phoenix feather core, a rare and powerful combination yew retains a particularly dark and fearsome reputation in the spheres of dueling and all curses. However, it is untrue to say that those who use yew wands are more likely to be attracted to the Dark Arts than another. The witch or wizard best suited to a yew wand might equally prove a fierce protector of other. This wand that is very effective when used for curses and jinxes. It owes its loyalty to both Harry and its former master. It has been used by one Tom Riddle.

50% attack when used against wizards.
