Harry Potter and the Return of Voldemort: edited the post on page 32 - Page 51

THE CONSPIRACY

Harry sent messages to the Dumbledore's Army to come to the meeting. All of them gathered at the Riddle House. This time Kingsley accompanied them.

"This is our opportunity to grab him and we'll be saved from the trouble of a lifetime. As I presume and I think I'm right this new Voldemort will not have an army of inferi or an extraordinary no. of deatheaters as of now so we won't need more of our people either. I want Ron, Hermione, Tom, Ginny, Micheal, Percy, George, Bill, Kingsley, Charlie, Ted and Oliver to accompany me to the Himalayas." He had chosen the best at duel. "I want rest of the order at their positions. And those who are at Hogwarrts must be more vigilant than before. Most probably we'll get hold of most deatheaters and perhaps Voldemort too. We'll catch them and send them to Azkaban."

Everyone stood up except for the ones Harry had chosen. They all wished them luck and left the Riddle House. Harry had it all planned. Riddle was going to visit the leader of the giants at Himalayas by his cave. Harry had set up the parameter and with Percy's help arranged for apparition there. The Army would appear surrounding the caves so that Riddle and his accomplice, most probably Malfoy would be trapped and the Army would be able to capture them. The moment Riddle would apparate a curfew would be established blocking apparition.

Everything was ready, all plans were made and now all they had to do was to apparate to the Himalayas. Tom watched as they all discussed the various things that he had no interest of knowing. He was thinking about Estella. He had reported urgently but now he wanted to go back and say goodbye. He didn't know what would happen next. He was only just thinking that when Harry told him it was time to leave. They all stood in the backyard of the Riddle House ready to apparate. Finally Tom turned on the spot and darkness and suffocation swallowed him whole.

The moment they appeared on the uneven ground a loud cry rant the air. They all stood transfixed where they had apparated, their wands in their hands pointing in front of them. It was too dark here to see. Harry lead the group his heart sinking. At the very back walked Tom, his heart hammering against his ribs. Their plan had apparently been backfired on themselves. As their eyes got accustomed to the lack of light they looked around and to their horror saw more than a dozen hooded figures surrounding them in a circle. All at once, they all turned to disapparate and nothing happened, apparition was blocked.

Suddenly they heard a mirthless, cruel laugh, and Riddle came out from behind his deatheaters, hooded, in a black cloak.

"Potter, what a sight it is!" He said in his cold whisper. "Caught with his Army, trapped..." He pulled off the hood and exposed his slightly white skin, light red eyes and the frightening look that it all gave, nevertheless, as Harry saw him, he looked exactly like Tom only with a hunger and greed on his face that would never appear on Tom's face. As the hood slipped off, all of the Army gasped, except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Tom who was at the very back and didn't want to come out. He didn't want to see his brother like this, so full of evil.

Riddle looked around, he couldn't see Tom among them. "Why, Potter, I don't see any familiar faces? Not that it is now, eh?" He laughed at his own joke, the same cruel laugh. "Where's he?"Everyone in the Army looked confused, except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Tom who knew what was coming. He couldn't hide forever. "Where's Tom? My dear, brother?" The Army stood silent but shocked. "Or he didn't come to visit me?"

Tom finally walked out.

"I couldn't have resisted." Tom said looking straight into Riddle's red eyes with his own brown ones.

"Of course, blood... " Riddle walked up to Tom as he himself moved forward and they stood facing each other. "...always responds."

"What do you want?" Tom asked.

"Revenge. Harry Potter's death along with his companions who killed our father."

"Lord Voldemort died due to his own mistakes, his own blunders, Harry did only what was right. And the man you call, a father never even knew you existed. You told me yourself."

"Father or not he was a great man, who worked only for the benefit of our kind, of purebloods-----"

"Purebloods whom he had no relation with, he was a halfblood." Harry said stepping forward with his wand raised.

The Army stood stunned listening. They had finally understood who this new Voldemort was. It was Voldemort's son and now they also knew he was brother to Tom.

Riddle laughed yet another cruel laugh. "Don't you remember Potter, how I beat you the last we duelled? Do you want to be ashamed in front of your faithful Army? Army... Whose magic is worthless in front of me."

"I'll show you worthless!"

Simply Wonderful How You Just Depicted Everything. Blocking Apparition Was A Mistake I Guess?

Eager To Read What's Coming Up Next. Update Sooner! 😊

Take Care! 😛

Thanks!! 😃😃

"Bolt, NO!" Harry shouted but the damage was done. Kingsley had fired a stunning spell at Riddle not being able to stand his mockery any longer which had backfired and had hit a deatheater who's companion had in reaction fired another spell at Kingsley which was blocked by Hermione who was stunned by Riddle as Ron and the others joined in the fight. They were all firing curses at the deatheaters around them, duelling for their lives, with two at a time, except for Harry who had engaged Riddle.

Tom had engaged Greback who had started growling. The Army was getting pretty outnumbered now. The entire Army was getting stunned around them as both Harry and Tom tried to capitalize on Riddle and Greyback. Malfoy was nowhere to be seen. Both Riddle and Greyback were not as powerful as Harry and Tom but the ferocity with which each one was advancing on them was getting the best of them.

Harry had been successful in blocking all of Riddle's curses but had not yet had the chance to throw an offence at him.

Riddle was not backing off at all. Tom who was dueling with Greyback had one eye out for Harry. He realized in a moment that he was playing with fire when Greyback's curse missed him by an inch. He put his complete attention on Greyback. "Expelliarmus!"

Greyback's wand flew right out of his hand but to Tom's bewilderment a sneer spread across his horrible face. "I don't exactly need it boy..." He growled again and jumped at Tom baring his sharp canines. Tom ducked out of the way just in time and Greyback's claws missed him by mere inches. "Stupefy!" He tried to stun Greyback but he jumped out of the way and lunged at him again. This time Tom lost his balance as he ducked away and his wand slipped out of his hand. Instinctively he ran for it but before he had reached it, Greyback landed on top of him planting him into the ground as his sharp claws dug into his sternum. A loud cry left his mouth that led Harry's attention to him.

"Stupefy!" Harry stunned him in a flash but the second he had ignored Riddle had been crucial.

"Incendio!" Riddle had retreated and cast the spell. Tom had been lying flat on the ground when he heard Riddle loud and clear and shouted, "Accio!" Surprisingly, his wand flew back to him.

"Protego!" An invisible wall appeared between Harry and Riddle. Tom had only just cast the shield charm in time.

Tom got back to his feet clutching at his chest looking about him. He could see very clearly that this was not the time to fight. The Army was going to get cornered like this. He removed the apparition blocking spell as Riddle removed his shield charm and engaged with Harry again.

"Get Out!" Tom shouted to the Army at large and within minutes members of the Army started disapparating. Many of the deatheaters had now been stunned. Those who hadn't been were becoming the target of Tom's attention. He was stunning them one after the other as the Army members engaged with them disapparated.

"Flagrato!" Riddle shouted and angry flames of fire were shot at Harry which he had to distinguish with "Augamenti!"

Tom turned his attention to Riddle again as he heard his burning attempt at Harry. "Protego!" He cast another shield between Harry and Riddle but he utter shock Riddle used an unforgivable curse.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Harry moved out of the way in time to protect himself but before he had got back to his feet, Tom ran to stand between Harry and Riddle facing Riddle.

"Get out of the way, Tom! You needn't die, it's Potter I want. I don't want to spill my own blood! Vansantio!"

Apart from them only Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Kingsley were duelling, Ron and Hermione were waging a battle against Malfoy who had appeared minutes ago and Ginny was fighting a broad faced deatheater they didn't know who was stunned by Harry as Ginny had turned to look at Harry and Tom when Riddle had used the killing curse. Kingsley was fighting two deatheaters at once, the rest of the deatheters seemed unable to fight. Some had been stunned by the Army others too injured to fight had disapparated.

"Destructo!" Tom shouted destroying the illusion cast by Riddle and then shouted, "Relashio!" at Riddle wanting to tear him apart but Riddle moved out of the way and his curse hit a tree trunk from which something green and slimy started pouring out. And then the tree trunk moved and suddenly they realized that it wasn't at all a tree trunk, it was the foot of a giant whom they hadn't been able to make out in the dark. There was loud roar in the air and the giant stomped its foot on the ground and it shook so badly that all of them fell to their feet except for Riddle. All of Riddle's deatheaters disapparated then.

woah! this was one action filled update! very cool fight and it's wonderful to see how they all have each others backs 😊

Love the dueling description with all the spells cast! Please continue soon, can't wait

THE HALLOW BETWEEN THE ODDS

Everything happened so suddenly after that. As Tom fell something fell out from around his neck. It was the black stone with an eye drawn across it. The chain around Tom's neck had broken by Greyback's claws. Harry who saw it gasped but there was no time to be shocked. He got up and ran towards it, bent to get it off the ground when Riddle again shouted "Avada Kedavra", and Harry who heard it a second later than others looked up and saw the green light approaching him, he meant to move out of the way but knew it was too late and suddenly, out of nowhere someone jumped right in front of him and a second later lay on the floor, dead. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Tom all froze and Harry stood over the body of the man who had just saved his life, Bolt, his friend, his guide, dead, the minister of magic, dead.

Riddle alone, with the five of them started laughing, his cruel, cold laugh. "Ah, the Minister seems to have retired, eh?" He pointed his wand at Harry once more, "Who else would like to die for Potter?" He looked at the white, colour drained faces of Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Tom. All of whom, though dry mouthed pointed their wands at Riddle ready to fight. They had decided in silent agreement that they wouldn't leave without Kingsley and would get themselves out of here, alive, because Harry didn't seem to be thinking of leaving, and he wasn't. He would spill a bit of Riddle's blood even if it meant getting himself killed. But before that he needed to retrieve the resurrection stone. How had it even got here?

Harry smirked at Riddle knowing very well it would hold him off only for some time. "Who would die for me? You are outnumbered, unsupported by your cronies with Harry Potter standing in your face, and who would die for me? Expelliarmus!" Harry shouted and Riddle's wand flew out of his hand and he was distracted. Ron, Hermione and Ginny started firing curses at Riddle while Harry ran for the resurecction stone. He took it off the ground as Riddle threw Ron, Hermione and Ginny off him and Tom engaged with him, dueling with him again.

"Serpensortia!" A snake larger than life sprang out of Riddle's wand and lashed out its teeth at Tom as Harry ran to help him and Riddle disarmed him while Tom tackled the snake. But Riddle had noticed something. Other than Harry's wand something else had flown out of his hand, a black stone. What could it be? But whatever it was, he was sure it was worth more than diamonds to have Harry Potter run after it. He had noticed when Harry had run to take it off the ground. He tried to summon it but it didn't move. This proved the stone to bear magic beyond imagination. He strode towards it as Harry ran to it after retrieving his wand.

"Protego!" Harry shouted from where he stood so that Riddle couldn't get to it. But at that very moment Malfoy apparated behind Harry and shouted "Telentellagra!" so Harry couldn't curse Riddle anymore.

Malfoy had just apparated back here for Riddle. Harry fell to the floor his legs completely out of his control. Tom who was still being attacked by the serpent slashed the thing to get away from it for a little while Ginny disapparted with Kingsley's body. Tom turned around for a second to see what was happening, he looked at Harry on the floor, his legs out of control, and Riddle standing over him with his wand pointed at him and the black stone in another hand. "Protego!" He shouted from where he stood as a shield appeared between Harry and Riddle but Tom knew it was no use. Harry had been trapped between Riddle and Malfoy. "Stupefy!" He shouted pointing his wand at Malfoy who disapparated to Riddle's side.

Hermione who had been revived by Ron shouted, "Finito!" and Harry's legs stopped moving and he got to his feet retrieving his wand ready to fight when Hermione grabbed his hand and disapparated, "NO!" Harry shouted but it was no use he was already swallowed by the darkness.

Tom stood facing Riddle who stood staring at the black stone in his hand. Tom who saw it a second later realized it was his stone but it was too late now. "Expelliarmus!" Tom shouted. The stone and Riddle's wand flew out of his hand.

"Crucio!" Tom who wasn't expecting Malfoy's chivalry couldn't duck in time and the Cruciatus Curse caught him.

Riddle who had retrieved the stone and the stone by then advanced on Tom who lay sprawled on the ground wandless. Malfoy followed him obediently, his wand raised, ready to curse him again. "Cru-_"

"Expelliarmus!" Before Malfoy had finished, he was disarmed by Ron who had just appeared to take Tom.

"Accio!" Riddle retrieved Malfoy's wand and handed it to him gracefully as Tom got back to his feet. Tom and Ron stood facing Riddle and Malfoy, both their wands raised, ready to fight when a large sneer covered Riddle's face, he winked at tom grabbed Malfoy's hand and disapparated.

Both Ron and Tom stood transfixed not knowing why they had suddenly retreated. It was after a moment that Tom realised why. The snake that he had well forgotten was bracing itself to strike Ron who stood closest to it with his back to it and had actually missed. it.

"Ron!" Tom shouted but it was too late, Ron had not been expecting it. He froze where he stood. He shut his eyes ready for the strike when he was pushed out of the way.

"Laceratus!" Tom who had seen Ron freeze shouted. The snake retreated for a moment as green, slimy blood poured out of it but like a flame about to die, it swished its large tail and caught Tom around the knees who fell, his wand slipping out of his hand and as he did, the angry, spitting snake struck at him, its sharp fangs pierced his flesh and tore out his ribs as he cried in pain and Ron came back to his senses.

"Accio!" He retrieved his wand, grabbed hia arm and within a fraction of a second disapparated.

For a second all was lost in the suffocation and the darkness and then Tom fell back on to the grass covered ground outside The Riddle House. Pain engulfed him once more as he was moved to a stretcher and Ron disapparated again and this time, Tom didn't know where, because now, all was black.
