CH46

His wand was moving so fast no one could any longer see it and his hand was just a blur. As such, no one could even deduce what spell he'd next cast from the wand movements. It wouldn't have mattered, anyway; he was practically point-casting. It was, fundamentally, inhuman; and that's why the Jaffa and Tok'Ra thought him to be a demon.

At a distance of twenty plus feet, as they were now separated, Harry had his third cast leaving his wand before his first reached its target. He had Dumbledore, his first target, down and stunned within one and a half seconds after hitting him with a stunner, snap-blocked by a Protego from the old man, hit with a shield breaker, smashing the Protego and rocking the old man back, then downed and unconscious by an unblocked stunner. The rest of the Order including Longbottom, except for Mad-Eye, didn't even get another spell off before Harry had them all down. Both Remus and Tonks let 'their' stunners hit them. Remus even closed his eyes, waiting for it. Tonks was just goggling back in shock. For Moody, he was the last down. However, he couldn't dodge due to his wooden leg and was down with a triple of a stunner, shield breaker and stunner just like Dumbledore, unable to protect himself beyond the first shield charm, with a second stunner just in case.

In return, the only one to get a spell off back at him was also Moody. And Harry simply side-stepped that one. He also recognised it as a somewhat dark, or dark grey, spell; a bone shatterer. However, he was still trying to get his head around over how damned slow the stunners and Moody's bone shatterer moved. Compared to a blaster weapon, they crawledtowards him.

As soon as the Order were down, with Moody joining the rest on the ground only four seconds after Dumbledore went down, Harry was already looking about for any further threats. There weren't any. Everyone not an Order member were now gawping at him from the walls and through doors and windows. "Well!" he huffed. "That was invigorating!" Then he looked around at those bystanders staring at him, still in shock. "Anyone else?"

That had heads all duck away again.

Laughing, he walked over to Remus and enervated him with the incantation, 'Wake!'

As Remus gave a start and his eyes snapped open he found himself staring into the eyes of his honorary nephew, grinning down at him. And stopped still.

"I'll let you wake the idiots up, once I'm gone," said Harry.

Then he walked off, up the Alley.

A quick Notice-me-Not while he walked and a hundred plus yards later, he was slipping in through the door of Madam Malkin's. And immediately dispelled the Notice-me-Not again. Luna had managed to watch what was going on outside right up until Harry said he was going to step off the step. That's when the door guards outside hustled in and slammed the big, reinforced doors shut, practically in her face.

Only ten seconds later they were opening them again and she quickly slipped through with a lot of other witches and wizards who were waiting inside. She immediately saw Harry enervate Remus and then walk off, disappearing a few moments later.

Knowing where he was headed, she nimbly slipped through the unconscious bodies in the middle of the Alley and, giving an unconscious Dumbledore an 'accidental' swift kick to the testicles as she went, skipped on up the Alley. A wizard leaving the bank behind her saw her do it, smirked and added his own, much harder, swift kick to the old man's twins.

As she walked into Madam Malkin's, it was to see Harry already standing on one of the low pedestals on the male side of the store and being measured.

"Hi Luna!" he grinned. "Enjoy the show?"

"I was in the bank and the goblins slammed the doors shut just before spells started flying," she replied. "They had them open again about ten seconds later to see Dumbledore and his... Order of the Flaming Fairies... all taking unintended naps on the cobblestones."

That had the witch measuring Harry pause and look to Luna. "Dumbledore was in a battle and lost?"

"With Neville Longbottom," she grinned, "Plus about another almost dozen of Dumbledore's illegal Order as backup."

Remus had immediately woken Tonks and quietly told her Harry had won. Then, though she was clearly shocked, she helped him wake the others. Out of spite Remus woke Dumbledore last. When the old man snapped awake and looked around for his wand, he aborted reaching for it and reached for his testicles instead, moaning in pain. It was a few seconds later, still in pain and with one hand cupping his tackle, he was clearly relieved to find his wand close at hand and picked it up. A quick wave of it at his own groin and he sighed in relief.

"What happened?" he then demanded.

"We lost," Remus simply replied.

"Who was killed?"

"No one," Remus smirked. "Apparently, he's not as dark as you and Ronald seem to believe."

Dumbledore scowled and held out his off hand in a clear gesture to be helped to his feet. Remus grabbed him by the forearm and lifted; and Dumbledore winced as he recovered his footing. "We need to go back to headquarters to discuss this new threat," the old man declared, smashing down in his mind the pain from his bruised boys.

"You do realise we were all down and at his mercy and that he could have easily killed us all, right?" asked Remus.

Irritably, Dumbledore waved it off and said, "It was just a gesture to make people think he isn't dark. He's definitely dark, though."

"As he asked, where's your proof?" Remus snapped back. "If you believe he's dark, you'll be explaining to us all how you came to that conclusion."

"I will not be questioned about my decisions!" the old man snapped back.

Before Remus could retort, the old man turned and snapped out loud enough for the other Order members to hear, "Back to headquarters to discuss this latest dark wizard!" And immediately latched onto Longbottom and apparated away with him, blowing through the anti-apparation wards over almost the entirety of the Alley, before anyone could say anything. The only place without the anti-apparation ward was over the two designated apparation points, one each end, of the Alley.

As the other Order members hurried away to the upper end apparation point just inside the arch leading back to the Leaky Cauldron, Tonks walked over to Remus and said, "He has noidea it's Harry, or that we know he's not dark. So, Dumbledore is simply declaring 'the man in black' to be dark because he feltlike it?"

"No," scowled Remus. "He's declaring him dark because he's afraid he has rightful access to the Potter accounts. Dumbledore wants those for himself and has been fighting for access to them from Sirius for quite some time.
