"DIEE!!!" a Stray Devil who called out as he threw fire at Harry. He was mutated into a half goat creature. Ironic since the devil is represented as a Satyr.

"Fire against me?" Harry just chuckled as he decided to show off. He let the attack hit him but not before he placed some fire protection spells on himself. Fire was the element that he was best at, even Melinda said that she hasn't seen anyone with more talent with fire spells in her long life than Harry.

As soon as the flames got near him Harry extended his magic, taking control of the flames and dispersing them. If the Stray was stronger or more skilled he wouldn't be able to do this.

"W'T 'WO U DO DAT??!!!" (What how you do that) The stray yelled out some gibberish and threw some more attacks at Harry, more fire attacks.

Harry just sighed 'What's with my luck and these mutated unintelligent Mid-Class. I have a theory on that. If a Devil is Mid-Class before it escapes there is a high chance it will keep its form and intelligence. But if its High or Peak Low Class. They escape, but because they are far from their master, the Demonic Energy rampages. They eat people with high amounts of mana and break through Mid-Class. But they still remain as they are, just stronger'

The stray screamed out in frustration as its attacks failed. It rushed Harry deciding on fighting him in close quarters.

'You want a fight. You will get one, I have been slacking on my CQC lately' (Close Quarter Combat)

Harry pulled out his gear. He was using the Sword of Gryffindor and the Silver Holy Gun.

"Come on ugly. I need the work out" Harry raised his sword and gun while smiling

"Rawww" the stray flung its claws at Harry who simply leaned backwards and dodged, he raised his gun and shot at the devil, right in the mouth.

Bang. Bang

Two bullets hit the devil. One hit his tongue the other his cheek, the blessed Holy Bullets immediately started to burn the flesh causing excruciating pain. Harry while leaning backwards, twisted his body, and swung his sword with his right arm.

He did a full spin so the sword went down, then as spun back his right side was facing the devil, and the sword had generated a lot of momentum and it was heading towards its face.

But it wasn't mid class for nothing, the beast like devil raised his hand to block the strike despite being in extreme pain.

'Got ya bitch' Harry smiled. The Sword of Gryffindor wasn't just sharp. The red haired bastard also used it as a magical foci, meaning a tool to use magic with. 'Sectumsempra'

The sword glowed green, the original colour of the spell and sliced through the devil's arm and the green spell left the sword and flew into his chest, causing a large gash on the devil's chest.

"RAWWWWW. HURTTSSSSS" the devil fell on the ground and started to trash because of the pain

Harry whistled once he saw the damage and looked at the sword "Not fucking bad"

He stunned the devil and sealed his magic up. Before stuffing him in a portable trunk.

"On to the next one"

~

"A Rhino? Seriously? Do the mutations depend on what type of Evil Piece you have" Harry scratched his head as the Stray was having trouble with all of the transfigured stone creatures that were rushing it.

It was strong and durable, but it was slow, he just had to spam his spell and it was overwhelmed against smaller faster creatures. He literally just made a couple of dozen stone wolves and the Stray couldn't move. It kept destroying them one by one easily, but it was stuck and surrounded.

"The type disadvantage is bigger than I thought.." Harry mused, if this was the case then defeating Rooks would be a piece of cake.

"DIEEEE!!!" The stray threw off all of the transfigured creatures and rushed at Harry.

"Well at least I can try out a few things" Harry pressed his thumb and index finger together

SNAP.

BOOOOOM

A fire explosion engulfed the stray, only for it to burst through the flames a second later.

'This is to be expected. Flame Alchemy is just normal fire created through scientific methods, there is very little magic involved in the process actually. But its not like it doesn't have its uses'

Snap. Snap. Bzzzz

The little lightning sparks landed right beside the devils ears.

BOOOM. BOOOM

"AHHHHHH" the stray clutched his ears. That explosion definitely ruptured his eardrums, that or it injured them. 'But you really shouldn't open your mouth like that'

SNAP.

The next explosion happened right in his mouth.

Snap. Snap. 

His eyes burst into flames, the devil fell on the ground clutching his eyes in pain, his mouth and throat were burnt and dry, he could barely scream 'Pinpoint explosion, even weak spells like this have their uses.'

'Now to seal up this piece of shit and to the next one.

~

"Ahhhhhhhhh" another stray was trashing on the ground. His leg was chained to the ground.

"Damn, these poisons work fast." Harry was looking at his half empty bottle. The one he was using now just causes neurological pain and paralysis. Harry mixed it with a bit of Holy Water, wondering if the water would dilute the poison. Which it did, but ironically it caused even more damage to the devil. Since to them its holy poisoning and just regular poisoning.

"I WILL KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR BONES!!!! I WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY!!!"

"Interesting development. A new research topic as well. Find poisons that don't dilute as much in Holy Water. Maybe some specific poisons that are meant to be mixed with water?"

Harry then looked at the little scorpion on his finger that was asleep and acting like a ring. The scorpion absorbed all the mana that Harry naturally releases and the one he purposefully releases when he does mana training.

"I wonder..." Harry woke up the little green scorpion and let it poison the devil. After a few seconds the devil didn't seem affected. He was still trashing in pain, but he did that before.

"Does it not work on dev-"

"AAAHHHHHHHAAAAA!!!! IT HURTSSSS!!! KILLLL MEEEEE!! " the devil started to trash around even harder, it started to claw out its own body. 

Harry blinked at the reaction then looked at the scorpion who was clicking his claws on his hand. "Never mind then."

~

'This didn't go according to plan' Harry was locked in a magic battle with a Bishop piece. This one kept her intelligence, but unlike Marcus, she needs to consume humans to stay in her human form and not mutate into a monster.

But bishops still had a lot of magic power, and this one looks like it has been alive for quite a while judging by the number of different spells she has been throwing at Harry.

"I will not be enslaved again! I will not become a plaything for any man!" The woman screamed. She was tall and voluptuous, brown hair and brown eyes, as a devil it looks like it increased her beauty or maybe she was that beautiful from the start.

"Oh shut up, you ate children, you don't really have a lot of moral ground to stand on" Harry was a few meters away from her, his eyes focused and his staff in his hand. This woman was different than the rest. That much was obvious. Both of them were locked in a deadly duel.

"Raaaahhhh" the woman raised her hand and an orange magic circle lit up. Harry however ignored the spell circle, it was impossible to read through the defences of a magic crest to see the spell. But he didn't have to, all he had to do is maintain eye contact.

In the next second the woman spell activated and lightning blitzed at Harry, but he was ready for her, Harry slammed his staff in the ground and it started to transfigure it to many floating iron balls. The iron balls acting as a lightning rod got hit by the attack, completely dispersing it. The clash was so bright that both sides were forced to close their eyes for a moment.

"How are you doing this!? How can you know my next move?!!"

Harry clicked his tongue at the white flash, He wished he could conjure some sunglasses but he needed to keep eye contact to use Legilimency.

The devil threw a fire ball straight at Harry, then followed up by two wind slashes that were going to pass through the fireball and ignite, creating two flaming fire slashes. It was a flashy move she planned to use to distract her opponent then just shoot out an Earth Spike behind them in their blind spot. It has worked surprisingly well in her past battles.

Harry just threw a shield up behind him and pointed his staff at the attack. "Aqua Draconis Maxima" 

From his staff a large stream of water erupted before it transformed into a Leviathan, it roared as its water teeth aimed at the devil. Harry followed up by forming a bunch of Earth Spikes from her sides and back and launching them at her and above her so that she couldn't fly away. But he didn't stop there.

"Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end. Bakudo #75 Quintet of Iron Pillars!" 

Five Iron pillars engraved in runes appeared high above her. This was a strong sealing technique that Harry recreated, one that he did so perfectly compared to the others who still needed tweaking and improving.

The woman flinched when she saw all those attacks, but she was quick to defend. Two magic circles appeared in he hands. "Aqua Shield. Wind Shield. Wind Shield"

A dome of water formed around her and it started to spin at high speeds, then she created another dome made out of wind, which increased the speed of the water. She trusted that the high speed water shield would be able to block the attacks, but the pillars above her were a problem. She didn't understand what they did, but they had runes on them. And anything with runes is dangerous and 90% of the time is related to sealing.

"Fire BALLLL!" A huge fire ball formed to the side above her,

Harry raised an eyebrow when he saw what she was about to do. 'Not bad.' he smiled as he used the staff to draw some lines on the earth.

You don't stop to see if your opponent is defeated, you prepare the next move just in case.

The attacks arrived, the water leviathan crashed into the dome, but due to the high speed rotation it was dispersed, the earth spears actually helped, they crumbled in the dome and were carried away by the current, helping break down the water beast.

"Haaaaa!" She swung her hands and the fire ball launched itself at the pillars just as they were a few meters above her.

BOOOOM

The fireball exploded and moved the pillars to the side just barely missing the stray. Who quickly dropped the dome. She was sweaty and tired, taking deep heavy breaths as she looked at the young teen in front of her.

' How is he doing this, we are equally matched in magical reserves. How is it that I am the one being on the defensive.'

"Devil do you know what the difference is between wizards and devils innate magic?" Harry said casually while smirking at her.

'Wizards? Those devil knockoffs, the failed product?' the stray frowned as her eyes darted around. Trying to look for an opening to attack or just leave.

"A devil is stronger and can use their imagination aspect to form powerful spells without the need to do calculations or chants. A wizard however is a mutation, while they don't have as much freedom or power in creating spells, their powers are far more versatile, reality bending and illogical."

'It doesn't matter how much a devil can try, they can't make so many different kinds of potions or do something illogical like causing the enemy to puke slugs. The casual way that wizard mess with the laws of physics as well, manipulating, mass, velocity, space and time. And they don't even realize it. Any one of those would be a Clan Bloodline Ability for the devils.

For a wizard to create a spell it takes time, effort, some calculation and a whole lot of luck'. A simple flame spear would take months for the average wizard to create. While a devil can simply imagine it into existence.

But they can also never do the things wizards can. So both sides have their pros and cons'

Harry refocused on the battle he raised his palm towards the stray, clutched his hand and pulled back.

The Devil suddenly found herself in the air, flying towards Harry, no not flying, being pulled, by some invisible force.

' No I can't let him come near me.' she unfurled her wings and flapped them, slowing herself down. She threw a Wind Blast with a wide area effect. Her goal was to push Harry away so he doesn't come close to her.

Harry was blasted backwards and she landed right where he was standing. Harry also did a backflip and landed gracefully on the ground. And by gracefully in his vocabulary was like a bull in a china shop.

His feet dug into the ground a bit when he landed. Harry smiled and raised his hand ' I haven't used this since i learned it from Flitwick. The spell that was supposed to grant him the title of Grandmaster in Charms. But they refused them because of the amount of power and skill required to use this spell.'

'Five Ring Flame Control'

Harry summoned a large flame in front of him, then he started to manipulate it using charmwork. From the large flame a big flame tiger jumped out, then a large snake, a lion, a thunderbird and then a small dragon the size of a car.

'Whooo. That takes a lot out of you. But I'm pretty sure there is a similar technique in some Chinese novel. Wait I wonder....'

(A/N BTTH reference, Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique)

Harry pressed his palm on the flaming dragon and pushed in his Green Flames. The flames on the dragon changed from normal orange red to an eerie green. 'Ohhh, yeah. Thats what I'm talking about'

The devil paled once she saw the fire beasts. The problem was that their strength was not low at all, each of them were almost Peak Low Class, alone they would be no problem to her, but the brat was here, all he needs to do is keep her busy and the beasts will attack her from behind.

'I'm leaving, there is no reason for me to fight this kid, eating him would increase my strength, but that's provided that I can do it.'

Her wings unfurled, she was clearly trying to escape by flying, she even made a shield with a magic circle to stop Harry from shooting her down. But he only stood there and watched her with a grin.

'He is not stopping me? Then Sayonara shitty brat' she lowered her knees to jump up and fly away, when all of a sudden the ground beneath her glowed, the runes Harry drew previously came to life, ironically powered by the devil's magic as she stood there. If Harry powered them himself she might have noticed them and landed on a different spot.

Golden light chains shot up from the runes and bound themselves around the devil

"NOOOOO!!!" She started to trash, tugging the chains hoping to break them, but it was no use, she gathered magic in her hands to throw it down at the runes.

"Like I'm going to let that happen" Harry manipulated the beasts, they all rushed at her, the four normal ones attacked each of her limbs, burning and pulling them away. She screamed out in pain as her limbs were being ripped and burned.

But the last one the green fire dragon made up of Harry's Emerald Soul Devouring Flame, struck her chest, attacking her soul, the attack quite literally shocked her soul, she slumped down, unable to move.

'Damn that was awesome. Flitwick is the GOAT. How the hell did the man come up with this when he has just above average wizarding mana reserves. Some people really do go above and beyond their race. I wonder if he would be interested in future projects. But now that I know it works and so well at that I have to try other fires. Fiendfyre, Grindelwald's blue flames, some wyvern flames, oh man there are so many choices, and I'm making new flames as well. This is going to be great'

Like the insane pyromaniac mad scientist he is, Harry stood there laughing and fantasising for a few minutes before he grabbed the stray and left. He wanted go and start researching so that he could bring these ideas into reality.

~ Voldemort Pov

'How humiliating. That I would have to possess the body of some muggleborn. But I do have to admit, it's much easier to possess this man over a wizard who constantly uses his magic. I can practically feel his atrophied magic that has been barely used since he left Hogwarts.'

Voldemort was walking through Knockturn Alley with his hood pulled up, he was going in a bar that his Death Eaters used to frequent.

' But there is one thing I have noticed during my time as a wraith. My thoughts are too chaotic. Too wild. I hate to say it but it might be a side effect of my horcruxes. Nobody has made as many as me. I was the first, and so the first one to feel the consequences'

Suddenly he picked up on a signal from the dark mark. Voldemort uses the mark to make them complacent and to make sure they don't backstab him. The Mark is like a link to them. He can use their magic so he is always topped up. They are like living batteries to him.

' I need to find a horcrux and merge back just to see if there is any improvement to my condition. If not I need to search for a way to heal or replenish my soul. My recent bout with Dumbledore made it clear how much the old man has been holding back. I definitely underestimated him, that persona he has created. He sat back and watched as my followers slaughtered his people, each of my battles with him ended in a draw, when he was perfectly capable of killing all of us '

A hooded man entered the dark and shady bar, all eyes went to the hooded man. Nobody in that bar was an idiot, their wands were always near their hand. They are used to the dark life they lived. Always ready for trouble, always ready to fight or run.

Voldemort followed his mark and saw a hooded man sitting alone on the table in the corner, his back against the wall. One of the best and safest spots in the bar. Just by this you could determine the man had some sort of position.

He slowly and confidently went towards the table, ignoring everybody else in the bar. This wasn't blind confidence. Even with his current body, Voldemort was sure he could kill everybody here.

He sat down on the table.

"Leave, this is no place for scum as yourself" the man on the table spat out, the wand in his hand pointed at this new arrival.

Voldemort found himself smiling. He snapped his fingers casting a silencing barrier around them. "My you sure have grown confident Nott to speak this way to your Master" he raised his head allowing Nott to have a look at his face and saw his red eyes

The man just looked shocked as he stared speechlessly. His mouth moved but no words came out

"Focus fool"

"M-my Lord" Theodore Nott Senior trembled in his seat, his face pale and his hands started to shake.

"I have returned, Gather the rest and find Lucius, tell him to bring the item I have have left in his possession. There is much to do'

~ Paris, France

Snap "Thats it!"

Snap "Beautiful!!"

Snap "Yes, yes! Strike that pose!"

Snap, Snap.

A pale blond woman was in some fancy lingerie doing a photo shoot. This was Narcissa, and she was now a Victoria Secret Model. And she was having the best time of her life.

"Yes, Darling Perfect!" An effeminate man said with a heavy French accent. "You know just how to bring my vision to life"

Narcissa chuckled at that "Thats me"

She had been using magic since she got here, if anybody tried to get frisky with her they suddenly got Erectile Dysfunction, and she was reading the mind of the designer and producer, so she knew exactly what poses they wanted her to take.

"Well that's all for today. I have to go and develop these. See you soon, darling~" The effeminate man gave her a wink before he walked away with a runway walk.

Narcisa just gave a wry smile 'He is a nice guy, but I'm not used to gay people. The modern world sure is different, but in a good way. I'm glad I found him'

Bzzz.Bzzz.Bzzz.

'And here is another reason. Mobile phones, this is amazing Nokia 7110, I can call people with a press of a button, no need to write letters or haunch over a Floo call with just my head in the fireplace. The internet is amazing as well. Harry said it will be revolutionary.'

She looked at the call ID before her face scrunched up. [Sirius Black]

'What does this fool want.' she picked up the phone

"What do you want"

"Heya cuz! I'm at this cool place with great music and I met this funny guy. Wanna come over and chill? He is a riot."

Narcissa facepalmed "Why would I want to hang out with you?"

"Come on, don't be like that, we are family again, and its not like you have anything better to do"

She couldn't help but sigh at that. She was just starting out her new life here. And making friends that aren't going to use or backstab her was difficult.

"What's his name anyway"

" He said his name is Ruval"

~~ A/N

Okay, BTTH obviously was a big inspiration for this. Harry having that spell and now getting new Fire Magics reminded me of Heavenly Flames. Then I remembered there was a flame Xiao Yan made himself using beast spells.

And of course there is Fairy Tail Slayer Flames. So Harry is going for this route for now. He needs a bit of attacking power.

And Sirius fucking up again. Harry is going to be pissed.
