Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"Well?" Warius asked "who is it?" The death eater didn't respond, in fact he fell backwards and was now on the floor. Everyone looked at him and to their horror they found a knife was in his chest, someone entered the bar. He had a matching knife in one hand, and a wand in the other, his face was covered by the shadows from his hood and he reminded many there of a dementor. He tapped the door with his wand, and closed it.

"Bloody hell!" Warius pushed the woman off, she landed on the floor but he didn't really care. He drew his wand and pointed at the imposing figure "you're that Curse guy"

"Yes" Curse replied with a demonic voice "I am Curse, and you're all cursed to die."

"Look smart guy" One of the death eaters scoffed "you're out matched, one of you verses all of us? You'd lose" That death eater was going to say more but was interrupted by the knife that was now in his throat, coincidentally Curse now had a hand without a knife. As that death eater fell, a few others tried to escape but figured out they couldn't.

"Don't bother" Curse spoke in an amused voice "I've warded this place, the only way you're getting out of here is if I let you"

"Well how about I make you? Imperio!" Warius smiled as the spell struck Curse "let us out then kill yourself" He demanded.

Curse raised his wand in the air, but instead of doing as he told he fired a cutting curse at Warius, hitting him right in the leg. Warius screamed and fell back, the other death eaters had taken that moment to remember that they outnumbered him. They aimed their wands at him, Curse quickly twisted his wrist and a smoke flew out of his wand, covering him.

It only took two seconds for him to disappear under the smoke, the death eaters fired at the smoke with the hopes they would hit something. But the smoke still came, soon the entire room was covered in smoke.

Warius sat down as he was unable to stand, he searched frantically for his wand. But he couldn't find it, the constant screams from his fellow death eaters were good motivation to try. But he couldn't find it, so he adopted the pray for the best option and crawled forwards. Hoping he could make it to the door, when he was halfway he realized something was on his face. He wiped it with his hand, it was blood, the scary part was that it wasn't his.

He crawled and crawled and by some miracle he managed to make it to the door, he tried to open it but it just wouldn't open. He prayed and punched and tried even harder, he even yanked the handle out and it still wouldn't open, that was when he realized something was different. His vision was improving, as the smoke was clearing up, the screams had stopped as well.

"Warius" A familiar voice called "where are you going?"

"Look" Warius turned slowly to find Curse standing in front of him "you've killed them all, let me go, please I won't tell anyone!"

"I do need someone alive to let people know what I've done" Curse replied

"Exactly!" Warius began nodding frantically

"That person is him" Curse pointed to the death eater that was tied up to a chair on the right side of the room "you however, are why I came here"

"ME?!" Warius shouted "but I didn't do anything! I'm innocent! Innocent I tell you" Warius was about to say more when Curse grabbed him by the neck and tossed him across the room, Warius slammed off a wall before falling back to the ground.

"You raped a girl yesterday" Curse spoke slowly "she wasn't your first was she? You've raped others"

"I didn't!" Warius denied, he screamed in pain when Curse fired another cutting curse at his other leg. Curse slowly walked towards, Warius looked up at the man standing in front of him and realized that at that moment he fucked up.

Curse looked into his mind, Warius had no defenses; he saw all Warius had done. Stealing, raping, murdering and torturing countless innocent people, if it wasn't for the shadows covering his face then Curse would have showed Warius a look of complete disgust and anger.

"Don't lie to me" Curse demanded

"Please!" Warius begged "it wasn't my fault" A reducto curse hit him in left shoulder, and a metal spike pierced through his right.

"I had told you not to lie"

"O…okay!" Warius sobbed "I did it! I did it! I raped that girl and I liked it! So go on then, send me to Azkaban!"

"I'm not sending you to Azkaban" Curse calmly replied "the dementors will not feed on you, you are my prey and mine alone. I will kill you"

"Please!" Warius made to say something but then Curse aimed his wand at Warius's leg, a red bullet shaped light shot out from it and flew straight through his leg. Warius could only scream for a few seconds before he was hit in the chest with anther spell.

"What did you do?" Warius asked, afraid of the answer

"That was a spell that acts the same as giving you adrenaline, I trust that you can feel your heart rate increasing. This will help you hold out a bit longer" Curse raised his hand before slamming his wand straight into the hole in Warius's leg, Warius yelped out in pain as the wand was now halfway inside his leg.

"Crucio" Curse whispered, Warius's screams could be heard all the way from Hogwarts. "I've never used an unforgivable from inside a person" Curse spoke while Warius continued to scream "it's not so nice when you're the one in pain is it?"

Warius kept thrashing and screaming, throughout all the pain the only thing he could see was the shadowed face in front of him. He passed out from the pain a minute later, Curse woke him up, then started the process again, around the fourth time Curse had removed his wand from Warius's leg.

"Warius" Curse spoke softly, as softly as he could with that demonic voice of his. "You've hurt countless people, you deserve what I'm giving to you, don't you agree?"

By this point, Warius was numb, all he could feel was the pain. All he could see from his blurry eyes was Curse, the faceless monster in front of him scared him more than the dark lord ever did. Everything hurt, he didn't even notice that he was nodding his head, by the time he had realized he was too tired to say anything.

"I thought so" Curse stood up, he wandlessly cast a cleaning charm on his wand to get rid of the blood. "This is kinder than you deserve but I don't want to stay in your company any longer than I have to. Don't worry, after I've finished with you I'll send some more of your friends down to greet you"

Curse aimed his wand at the middle of Warius's forehead, one red light and he was soon dead. Curse removed the wards, he dragged the lifeless body of Warius out and sent a distress signal in to the air so the aurors could come. He vanished long before they came.

Dolores Umbridge and the rest of the students were surprised when they found out that the doors to the great hall wouldn't open, Umbridge and a few others tried multiple spells to open it but the doors wouldn't budge. Soon Dumbledore came and even he couldn't get through, he looked around and was surprised to see Harry and Ginny looking very confused. 'Strange' He thought, he was sure that Harry was the one responsible. Eventually the door opened, everyone barged in and shock set in.

Hanging from a ceiling thanks to a very long rope was the dead, cut and and battered body of Warius, a few screams were heard and that's when people noticed that somebody else was also in the hall. Sitting in the headmasters chair, was the vigilante known as Curse, he sat with his feet on the table, he leaned back in the chair as if he owned the place.

"Hello" He addressed his audience "shit just got real"
