Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Chapter 31: Harry's Stand Against Draco



Harry rushed forwards, Malfoy removed his wand but before he could fire off a spell Harry had ran past him and struck Crabbe in the face, causing him to stagger back a little. Malfoy swung his arm and was about to fire off a spell when Harry caught his arm with his left hand and used his right to grab Malfoy's collar, in a blur Malfoy found himself flying over Harry's head and landing on the floor.

Harry followed with two quick punches to Malfoy's ribs and was cut off from a third when Goyle had gotten up and grabbed Harry, he pulled Harry and slammed him against the wall. He let go with his right hand and struck Harry in the right side of his face, Crabbe had ran up and punched Harry in the same spot.

Harry powered through the pain and continued to fight, he struck Goyle in the knee with a kick, causing the taller boy to drop a little. Harry took the opportunity to punch Goyle in the face, the sound of a broken nose echoed before Goyle had reached the floor.

Crabbe hit Harry in the face once more, in the exact same spot then he grabbed Harry by the neck and pushed him against the wall, Harry responded by poking Crabbe in the eye. He wasn't afraid to fight dirty, and it worked as Crabbe's grip had loosened a little. Harry grabbed Crabbe and moved his head to the side before quickly pulling the boys head forward so his face struck the wall that Harry was pressed against.

This had the effect of causing Crabbe to let go, he moved back and turned around, his hands came up in an attempt to alleviate some of the pain in his face. Harry didn't want to give him a chance to rest, Harry ran at the opposite wall and jumped on it, he pushed off and was in the air for about two seconds before he kicked Crabbe in the face.

As Harry landed on his feet and Crabbe landed on his back, the golden trio were looking with astonishment and amazement while Malfoy had a regretful look on his face. Malfoy was struggling to get up, his ribs still hurt. Adrian was looking at his brother with amazement in his eyes, his brother who was top of his class and had defeated a troll could also fight.

"What is the meaning of this?!" A voice snapped and they turned to see Snape rushing towards them. Malfoy smirked, he could use Snape to get the rest in trouble , but Harry beat him to the punch.

"Professor" Harry spoke quickly "Malfoy was threatening my brother and his friends when I arrived, I told him to stop. Goyle then tried to attack me, I fought him and Crabbe off and struck Malfoy twice before you arrived."

"Tell me exactly what happened" Snape ordered, eyeing the other three Slytherin's

"Yes sir" Harry nodded "Goyle tried to punch me but I ducked and punched him once in the stomach and a second time in the face before I slammed his head against the wall. I then punched Crabbe, Malfoy tried to get a spell off but I took him to the floor and punched him twice in the ribs before he could do anything.

Crabbe and Goyle then pinned me to a wall, they got about a punch each before I started fighting back. I kicked Goyle's leg and punched him in the face when Crabbe punched me again, I poked him in the eye slightly so he'd loosen his grip then I slammed his face against the wall and he let go. I did a run up and jumped off the other wall before kicking him in the face, then you arrived and that's about it"

"That's about it?" Snape repeated slowly

"Oh, and I got to insult everyone here before the fight, so silver linings" Harry responded

"You three" Snape said after shaking his head and looking at the golden trio "is what Mr Potter says true?"

"Yes sir" Hermione answered "Draco disarmed us, then they were about to attack us when Harry appeared. Harry did insult us before he was attacked and he fought them off until you arrived"

Snape looked at Goyle who had a bleeding nose and a black eye before he looked at Malfoy who was clutching his side and Crabbe who had a bruise on his face and a bleeding nose. He then looked at Harry who had nothing other than a bruise on his right cheek

"Come with me, you will all accompany me to the hospital wing" Snape commanded and the students followed. The trio were at the back, Draco and his goons were taking the time to glare at everyone while Harry was just yawning as he walked alongside Professor Snape.
