Chapter 229: An Impossible Transfiguration

"Wait, don't step in yet!" Lord Flint's tone was cold but firm.

"Don't try to stop me, I'm ripping that boy apart!" Lord Derrick screamed.

"Do you want to suffer the same fate as our sons?! Use your head!" Lord Montague said.

"They are right…that boy's transfiguration is too fast…going in there without a plan would be suicide." Lord Pucey tried to maintain his calm, despite the situation.

"We have already underestimated that boy too much…we cannot make any more mistakes today."

"That is why I said to wait…I have a plan." Lord Flint got closer to the platform and tapped it with his wand while chanting several sentences in Latin.

"Is that?...a protection charm?" One of the other Lords recognized part of the chant.

"Correct…" Lord Flint finished his chanting.

"This will prevent the boy from using transfiguration on the arena."

"You know?..." Harry stood up.

"I feel offended that you thought I was going to pull the same thing against you."

"Ignore his petty taunts…" Lord Flint said coldly.

Harry walked to the edge of the arena and stopped there before turning around and waiting for them.

"He is going to be okay, right?" Lily said softly.

"I think so…" James could not help but worry too. He knew his son was incredibly capable, but there aren't many wizards out there who could take on four experienced opponents. And Lord Flint had sealed his strongest weapon.

"Be at ease." Dumbledore said. "I believe that Harry had only shown us but a tiny fraction of what he is truly capable of…" He could feel the magic stirring around Harry's body.

He was clearly doing something while standing there, but even with all his years of experience, he could not begin to guess what this boy was planning on doing.

The Lords started discussing among themselves in a low voice, trying to come up with some plan while Harry waited patiently in the arena.

What the four Lords didn't realize was that giving him all this time to prepare was going to be a fatal mistake on their part. One they will pay dearly for.

Five of his nine pieces of magicite jewels became alight. For this next magic, he was going to need a small boost.

The Lords finished their secret talk, and without saying one more word, they separated and walked to four different spots, surrounding Harry.

Their logic was obvious. As long as they are not close to each other, it would be impossible for Harry to attack them all at the same time. And while he focuses on one opponent, the other will be free to shoot at him.

Without further warning, they stepped into the arena.

"What is this?..." Dumbledore's eyes opened wide. He had always been very sensitive when it came to magic. This sensitivity was one of the main things that allowed him to become the wizard he is today.

But what Harry was doing…he had never seen that before.

"Albus?" Lily gave the Headmaster a side glance.

By the time the last Lord put his feet on the stony surface of the circular arena, they began casting their most deadly curses at him.

But Harry's spell was already complete, all it needed was a swift flicker of his wand.

The five arkstones shone in an eerie blue light as their magic was put to use…the air let out a cracking noise as if his magic was breaking it apart.

No words came out of Harry's mouth. Like the one from before, this was a type of free transfiguration.

The four Lords stopped their chants midway. They all felt there was something very wrong with their bodies.

The next second, a short bloodcurdling scream came out of their mouths before they turned into dust and disappeared.

"Whoa, what was that?" James shouted.

"Where did they go?!" Umbridge moved her head frantically around the room.

"What happened?" Lily could not understand it either.

"Those men…are dead…" Dumbledore said with a somber tone.

"Dead?...but?...what kind of dark magic was that?!" Umbridge pointed at Harry.

"What did you do?! Those were Lords of ancient magical families! Valuable members of magical society!"

Harry turned to her. "I did the same thing they intended to do to me. As for what magic I used…it is irrelevant. 'All magic is allowed'...those were your words, weren't they?"

"Lord Parkinson." Dumbledore decided to speak before that woman started to run her mouth.

"I believe this matter can be considered settled."

Parkinson moved his eyes away from Harry, trying his best to hide his worry.

"Y-yes…I think so too. Come on, Madam Umbridge, we have much to do…" His inner circle must be informed about what happened today as soon as possible. They will need to discuss further on a way to deal with Harry Potter.

Up until now, he had only considered Dumbledore as a real threat to his plans, while Harry had been nothing more than an annoyance and potential future problem.

But today's demonstration had completely changed his view. The boy was a monster…perhaps as much as his old Master and will need to be approached with the utmost care.

He left the room with brisk steps while the toad-looking woman followed behind.

"Harry!" Lily came running to him and gave him a tight hug as soon as he came down from the stone platform.

"I hope that didn't change your opinion of me…" Harry said softly.

Lily's answer was to hug him tighter.

"Never." 

"You did what you had to do, son." James patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging nod.

"Harry…" Dumbledore approached too. His face looked slightly paler.

"That surprised, huh?" Harry told him.

He knew that the old Headmaster was the only one in the room who truly understood what he did.

"How?..." Dumbledore asked.

"You broke the laws of transfiguration, Harry…how did you do that?"
