It was late at night, when three people in death eater masks found themselves in Hogsmead. They entered the three broomsticks and found Madam Rosmerta cleaning.
"Sorry we're closed" She spoke as she wiped some food off a table, she looked up and gasped and jumped back when she saw the death eaters standing in front of her.
"Hello Rosie" The main death eater walked towards her "todays a joyous occasion, me and my friends are celebrating the return of our master. We figured we'd start with a drink, but personally I'd like some entertainment." The death eater placed a hand on Rosemerta's cheek and placed the other on her hips, pulling her closer.
"You'd do nice, I've always thought you were beautiful. Tonight will be a nice night."
"Listen I um…" Rosmerta glanced behind him, all of a sudden her fearful expression had gone and to the death eaters surprise she smirked "as much as I'd like to help you, tonight's entertainment has already been provided by someone else."
"What?" The confused death eater asked "what are you on about?"
"Him" She gestured with her head.
The death eater released her and turned back, the sight in front of him truly frightened him. His two death eaters friends were dead, one laid on the floor with blood pouring out of his head whilst the other fell from leaning on the wall while the blood poured out of his neck.
"I'll excuse myself" Rosmerta smiled and left the room. As soon as she was gone the remaining death eater took in the appearance of the new person that was standing there.
He wore black combat boots and trousers, a grey shirt with black robes. His hands were covered by gloves and he had a fancy looking wand in his right hand. The figures face couldn't be seen as the hood he wore shadowed it away from being seen.
"I know you!" The death eater came to a realization "You're that 'Curse' guy!" The figure merely nodded "Look…you may as well give up, the dark lord is the strongest there is! There's no way you'd be able to beat him"
"I've done it before" Curse replied "I'll do it again."
"You what?!" The death eater shouted in disbelief. He raised his wand and fired a curse, he didn't really know what happened after that but he did remember Curse placing his hand around his throat.
The next day, Harry and Ginny woke up early and after their morning workout the two headed to the great hall for breakfast, nobody was there, except for the three remaining head of houses.
"Morning" Harry greeted them
"Hello" Sprout smiled
"Good morning Potters" Flitwick chirped
"Good day to the both of you" McGonagall greeted "are either of you aware of a very interesting article that appeared in this mornings newspaper?"
"Article?" Ginny asked
"Apparently there was an attack at the three broomsticks by death eaters, but Curse entered the fray and there are now three less death eaters"
"Wow" Harry exclaimed "that was quick, I only just went out at midnight"
"Why were you out?" Flitwick asked
"Well my ink pot spilled in my bag, so I went out to quickly get a new one. I took one, left the money on the counter then I saw three people in death eater masks. They went in, I went in, I came out."
"Did you use that new spell?" Flitwick asked, ignoring the fact that the student in front of him admitted to murder.
"The bullet one?" Harry asked "yeah, I used it. It's brilliant, though I'm not planning on letting anyone know about it. The spell acts just like an actual bullet and they are slightly faster than certain spells, plus quite deadly. I can teach you three the spell, I've already taught it to Ginny but that's where that particular class ends."
"Why just us?" Sprout was curious.
"The spell is dangerous and making it widely known is just giving the death eaters another weapon to use." Harry answered
"Besides I don't want to trust half of the people in this castle with a bullet spell" Ginny added
"It's also a spell that nobody has used before" Harry continued "nobody except Curse"
"Ah" Flitwick exclaimed as he realized what Harry was saying "you want to use the spell as a calling card?"
"Yeah" Harry nodded "Voldermort made his presence known by leaving the dark mark, for me it's a magical bullet."
"The newspaper also said something else" McGonagall replied "apparently when they walked in they found the three bodies had been branded with the word 'cursed'."
"Fear is everything here" Harry shrugged "Voldermort is simply a very powerful wizard but he used peoples fear to make himself seem much worse. I'm using fear to inspire hope in the non-death eaters and scare the will power and loyalty out of the actual death eaters." Further conversation halted as the sound of a clearing voice made everyone turn to the woman who was now approaching them.
'Does this woman know there are more colors in the world besides pink?' Ginny asked
'I think the fact that this woman possesses enough brain power to dress herself is a miracle' Harry replied
"Good morning" Umbridge greeted everyone in a cheery voice
"Good morning Professor Umbridge" Harry and Ginny chorused
"By the way" Harry continued speaking "have you heard about this vigilante? He calls himself 'Curse'."
"I have" Umbridge's smile faltered for a second "rest assured the ministry will capture this criminal"
"Oh we know they will" Ginny replied "we just think it's a bit sad"
"What's sad?"
"Those death eaters" Harry clarified "I mean thanks to Dumbledore they're convinced that their old master has returned and they think that they can just go around and break rules because of it"
"What do you mean?" Umbridge raised an eyebrow "you and Dumbledore have both been spreading those lies"
"I assure you I haven't" Harry snorted "all I did was tell him that Peter kidnapped me and tried to use a dark ritual to revive him, I never at any point told him that Voldermort had returned." Umbridge flinched at the name, before her smile grew wider and she quickly turned and left the hall.
"She's probably off to tell the minister" Ginny commented "so how are we going to deal with her?"
