Chapter 158 - A Duel of Power

Voldemort sat in the dark, pondering over what happened. The other death eaters were deadly quiet, no one dared to speak. Voldemort was left wondering, how had the boy gotten so strong? To beat Albus was an accomplishment, to beat himself was impossible yet the boy had done it at such a young age.

He had to be dealt with, the boy was a threat. The news of him being permitted to do whatever he wanted made him much worse. As long as Potter was alive, his followers fear was divided between Potter and himself. He couldn't have that, Potter made him look weak, he needed to be taken care of.

"Hello" A voice caught his attention, Severus Snape walked in with a black owl on his shoulders, the owl had a letter in its beak. Slowly and calmly he walked in, as if he owned the damn place, even his owl which was looking around a lot, looked calm. A few death eaters stepped forward, Snape stood in the centre of the room with three death eaters in front of him and one just behind him.

"Severus" Voldemort spoke quietly but loud enough to be heard "how nice of you to join us at last, may I inquire as to where you have been? You have not answered my call for quite some time" Everyone knew that this was Voldemort speech for 'make your excuse and I will probably torture you anyway'.

"There would be a reason for that" Snape replied "I no longer work for you" Snape exposed his arm, revealing that there was no longer a dark mark "my new employer has had it removed for me"

The other death eaters were taken by surprise, wondering if the potion master had lost his mind, what he was doing now was basically committing suicide. Voldemort was downright furious, but he couldn't afford to lose his composure in front of his followers.

"Such a pity Severus, your information and potions were most valuable" Voldemort slowly raised his wand

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Snape stopped him "believe me when I say I am in no way happy at having to look at your repulsive and disgusting face, however I am here because my employer has requested me to be"

"Did he now?" Voldemort slowly lowered his wand, picturing himself torturing Snape as he did so "why has your 'employer' sent you?"

"He has asked me to confirm you received this"

Snape removed the letter from the owl and handed it to one of the death eaters, the death eater slowly made his way to Voldemort and handed him the letter. Voldemort opened the letter when it flew into the air and hovered just in front of his face, the letter formed into a mouth. It was clear that it was a howler.

"Hello Tom" Potters voice came from the howler "just in case you couldn't work it out, I am Harry Potter. Also known as Curse, the-boy-who-lived, saviour of the wizarding world, Witch Weekly's sexiest celebrity of the year, that's a new one that I got this year. Oh, and I'm also the guy who beat you four times. The first when I was one, as I'm sure you remember, the second when I was eleven and you possessed Quirrell.

The third would be in that graveyard, now you'll probably use the excuse of the ritual but it still counts. The fourth and most recent, our little match at the ministry, I would have decapitated you if it wasn't for the fact that Dumblesloth arrived. Doesn't matter, my identity may have been revealed but so was your return.

Do you know that the people are starting to call me the 'Lightning Curse' thanks to your little lightning attack? Now I'm sure you're wondering what is the point of this, and I will tell you, personally. Shortly after this letter finishes, Snape will be port keyed away and I will enter the room and we can chat.

P.S Hoot hoot bitch"

The letter began destroying itself, Voldemort looked at Snape, whose lips had curled upwards. He looked at the owl, the last part of the letter played into his head. The owl, Voldemort noticed it for the first time, it had green eyes, it raised its wings. Before Voldemort could say anything it jumped off of Snape, who had port keyed away the instant it did.

The owl transformed into Curse, who flipped in mid-air and when he landed he killed the two death eaters in front of him at the same time by slamming a silver knife into each of them. The death eater behind him quickly moved to get his wand, but Curse was quicker, he stepped back and without looking he kicked the death eater in the face with a back kick. The death eater fell unconscious to the floor, that didn't stop Curse who took out his wand and shot the death eater with the killing curse before blasting the death eater that had given Voldemort the letter. He turned to Voldemort, and lowered his wand and hood, revealing Potters smug face.

"Hello Tom" Potter smiled

"Potter" Voldemort spoke slowly "what are you doing here?"

"I came to give you a message" Potter answered "a few messages actually. The first being you're an ugly piece of shit"

"How flattering" Voldermort sarcastically replied

"The second message is a reminder that I am permitted to do whatever I want, so warn your death eaters to stay out of my way because unlike them I don't have to worry about getting in trouble with the ministry. And the third message can be considered as an offer or a challenge."

"You have my undivided attention, go on"
