The yellow eyed man let go of Quirrell before hitting him with a spinning back kick to the face, causing Quirrell to fly back and land on his back. The man walked past Adrian, as if he hadn't noticed that he was there.
"You" Quirrell stood up "what are you doing here?" Adrian was wondering the same thing, why was this guy here? Was it to save him? If so then why and how did he know to come here?
"I'm here to stop you" Said the man in his low voice "I don't particularly care what happens to Potter over there but I will not let you get the stone, speaking of" A wand dropped from the man's right sleeve into his wrist, he aimed it at the stone and destroyed it.
"NO!" Quirrell screamed, before he took his wand out and fired a curse at the man. The man pulled up his left hand which also had a wand in it and formed a shield.
"Yes" The man calmly said as he aimed both wands at Quirrell
"Who are you?!" Quirrell roared
"Why does everyone keep asking that?" The man sighed "What's wrong with being nobody?"
"Do not play games!" Voldemort demanded "Who are you?"
"Hmm" The man thought about his answer "let's go with 'Consequence', yes, I like that"
"Very well, 'Consequence'" Voldemort replied "prepare to meet your doom"
"Avada Kedavra!" Quirrell shouted and a green light blasted from his wand.
Consequence sidestepped and avoided the light, he fired a cutting curse with his right wand which hit Quirrell on his left side and he used his left wand to fire a bone breaker which struck Quirrell in his right shoulder. Consequence quickly fired a banishing spell which caused Quirrell to fly backwards and crash into the mirror behind him.
Quirrell landed in shards of glass which pierced his hands, it took some struggle to get to his feet. Quirrell realised that he wasn't likely to win, he was bleeding from his left side and had his right shoulder broken. He couldn't even hold his wand now thanks to the glass stuck in his hand.
"You!" A voice said, everyone turned to the entrance to see Dumbledore and the other Professors with their wands aimed at Consequence and Quirrell.
"You fool!" Voldemort shouted
"Master! No!" Quirrell screamed, everyone watched as Quirrell dropped to the ground. A large black cloud ripped from his body and charged at Consequence, Consequence rolled out of the way and the cloud charged upwards and through the ceiling. Consequence shook his head and stood up when he realised that Dumbledore and the others still had their wands pointed at him.
Dumbledore and the other teachers kept their eyes on the yellow eyed man in front of them, Dumbledore was surprised by the fact that the man had two wands, very few wizards chose to dual wield wands.
"Surrender!" Dumbledore demanded "You will put down your wands and surrender"
"No" Consequence replied "I don't want to"
"Enough of this!" Snape interrupted "Stupefy!"
Consequence blocked Snapes stunner with his left wand and fired one of his own rom his right wand which Snape dodged, the other teachers took this as a signal to fire and did so. Consequence used both of his wands to summon shields which blocked the stunners, Dumbledore fired his stunner which managed to break through both shields and push Consequence back.
"Stupefy" McGonagall fired a stunner which hit Consequence directly in the chest and caused him to fall backwards. The Hogwarts professors took a step forward but immediately stopped.
Consequence had sat back up, and looked at them all, he got to his feet and they all looked at him with surprise. McGonagall especially, she was sure that her stunner should of knocked him out.
"Goodbye" Consequence said, he raised both of his wands in the air. A bright light flashed from his right wand, blinding everybody while a high pitched noise came from his left wand and deafened everybody.
By the time they had regained their senses, Consequence was gone.
....
A few days later, Harry and Daphne sat at the leaving feast while Tracy sat with Blaise further down the table. They were doing their best to avoid everyone who kept gossiping about Adrian and his amazing adventures, they couldn't imagine the size of his head now.
"Look at them" Harry whispered to Daphne "they're really laying it on thick, aren't they?" Daphne looked at Adrian and Ron who were telling anyone who would listen about their stories, Hermione was next to them and while she didn't participate she didn't correct them.
"What do you expect?" Daphne looked at Harry "I don't really know what happened but he is definitely making it out to be something it isn't, your brother could perform a simple charm and claim to have revolutionized spell making. In fact, he did that last week."
"The week before he claimed to be the greatest quidditch player ever" Harry said "apparently he tried to get Dumbledore to get him on the quidditch team"
"Hmm, gossip Harry? Didn't think you were the type"
"Not gossip, I talked with the Weasley twins about it." Harry responded, while he thought Ron was a colossal idiot and Percy was a pompous prat, he thought the twins were genuinely fun and nice guys to be around. "According to them Oliver Wood refused to let him on the team, apparently he said something along the lines of 'I don't care if you're the boy-who-lived or Merlin aunt Matilda, you're not coming on my team until you can learn to catch something besides a cold'."
"Another year gone by" Dumbledore began his speech "first I'd like to say well done Slytherin" The Slytherin's cheered, they were currently in the lead for the house cup "yes, yes, well done Slytherin. However, a few last minute points need to be awarded" The hall went silent.
"I don't like where this is going" Daphne whispered to Harry
"To Miss Hermione Granger, fifty points for the cool use of intellect" Dumbledore said, a few Gryffindor's cheered for her. "Second to Mr Ronald Weasley, fifty points for the best chess game seen in Hogwarts history"
"You…have…got…to…be kidding!" Harry couldn't believe the blatant favouritism coming from Dumbledore "Chess? He's getting points for chess!"
"And finally" Dumbledore continued "to Mr Adrian Potter, for outstanding nerve and courage, I award Gryffindor seventy points." The Gryffindor table began cheering loudly.
"And they've bloody won" Daphne sighed
"Outstanding nerve and courage?" Harry shook his head "the only thing outstanding thing about my brother is the neck muscles he uses to carry that massive head of his"
"Well" Dumbledore smiled "if my calculations are correct…"
"Excuse me, headmaster" Snape interrupted "I have some last minute points of my own to award" The hall went quiet again
"Now Severus…" Dumbledore tried to stop Snape
"Ten points" Snape continued "to Mr Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass, for not being total and complete dunderheads. I would also like to award Mr Potter and Miss Greengrass ten points for being brilliant students and a credit to their parents. Now, unless there is anything else you'd like to add headmaster, I believe that Slytherin have won the house cup."
"Uh…yes" Dumbledore turned to the students "the winners of the house cup are Slytherin" Dumbledore said without a lot of emotion.
All the students turned to Harry and Daphne, who looked embarrassed but they both stood up and looked at the students.
"Well" Daphne said "thank you Professor Snape"
"And as for the rest of you" Harry looked at all the Slytherin's "you're welcome"
The two sat down and the Slytherin's started cheering, Tracy and Blaise were whooping from their seats at the other end of the table. The Gryffindor's were cursing under their breath and some were glaring at Harry, including the golden trio. Harry and Daphne looked at Professor Snape who clapped his hands and winked at them. Harry and Daphne shared a look before both winking back at him.
