Chapter 97 - Ch. 97

"If you want to end this hazing quickly, do it in Slytherin style to gain their respect. Otherwise, you might find yourself repeating this a couple more times before your two weeks are up."

After Draco moved out of the way, Harry decided to play the upcoming fight like a training exercise and snapped his head back, letting out a maniacal laugh that was partly intended to allay his nerves, and also intended to strike some uncertainty to his attackers. The spells (stunners first) then came in.

Harry threw a silent shield up which ricocheted the spells back towards other casters who dived for cover. Moments later the entire room went black. Spells continued to light up the area when they were shot, but mostly, no one could see where Potter was.

As is, he floated himself up to the ceiling to get out of the way. He decided to have some fun with the shooters through.

"Lumos! Lumos!" a voice said, failing to light the area any further than six centimeters out from his wand. "We're shooting blind here, Max! I can't dispel this darkness!"

"Aim for the center! Aim for the center!" a voice that Harry recognized shouted.

"What do you think I'm already doing, Flint? Stupefy!"

"Ow. Oh, that's going to hurt," Harry smirked from the ceiling. "Oh woe is me, how am I ever going to survive?"

"You got him!" Flint yelled. "Jenkins, you next! Aim for the center."

"Everbero!" a voice more suited for whispering shouted.

"Ooooh, you shot me!" Harry said.

"Everbero!" Flint fired to where he thought Harry was.

"Oh, boo-hoo-hoo. I'm hurt. Please stop. Oh me, oh my."

"We got him!" Flint whooped in joy.

"Freeze him in place," a voice commanded with more steel in it than Harry would have thought.

"Right, Max," a new voice said. "Petrificus Toltalus!"

"Oh you got me again! How will I ever get through this?"

"We got him, we got him!" Flint whooped again.

"Shut up you idiots!" Max commanded. "Quiet I said!"

The room quieted down.

"Potter!"

"Yes, Max?"

"You hurt?"

"Will you stop if I say yes?"

"No."

"Then I'm not hurt. Please, continue firing. I'm finding this enjoyable."

"Somebody dispel this darkness!" Max commanded, moving to his right so Potter wouldn't be able to get a bead on where he just was.

"What do you think I've been trying to do for the past 10 minutes?!" yet another unnamed voice said in exasperation.

Harry thought he better go on the offensive, if only to keep things interesting. "Spiculum!"

"Ouch!" Flint yelled, holding his face. "Blast it, that hurt, Potter!"

"And what you've been trying to do to me would have felt enjoyable?"

Max said, "It's just a stinging hex, Flint. Toughen up a bit."

"You try thinking that when he gets off a lucky shot and hits you right between the eyes."

"Spiculum!"

"Ouch! Damn it, now he just got me right between the eyes," Jenkins complained.

"Crap!" Max exclaimed. "Duck and cover, people! He can see in this darkness! He can see!"

"Right you are, Max! Spiculum! Spiculum! Spiculum!"

Harry shot the others and then added a fourth stinger back at Flint's unprotected rear.

"Impedimenta! Expelliarmus! Give up yet, Graile?"
