"Now, of course I don't believe in divination much, unlike you" Harry said "but the thing is, I know liars and I know honesty. And he was very honest, he didn't reveal everything but he was incredibly honest. Shortly after that moment, I took those kids in. Flight didn't really have a home, that's complicated. Either way, I took them in. Flight visited once a month, well he started with every few days which then turned into every week which then turned into a month but I digress"
"Yes, you do" Dumbledore scowled
"Alright, fine, fine." Harry sighed "Anyway, with me and Flight, their talents really developed. Ryan, brilliant accuracy and was quick at learning how to fight. Violet was so accurate it made your head spin, Rose, she had talents that most people don't possess. Red, he and me were the most similar, we were the strongest in the group. One day I let them join me on one of my missions, then they eventually joined me on nearly all of them. Apart from when I would take a week to travel, but I would always come back. That's how I met the Delacour's and Krum actually but I digress.
Anyway, this continued for a good few years, I had almost forgotten about wizarding Britain. But then...our little group broke up and you were brought right back to the front of my mind." Harry emphasised his head by strongly poking himself in the head
"Why did you separate?" Dumbledore asked
"Not really your business but then again you have the habit of sticking your nose in other peoples business. Anyway, not telling" Harry responded "so where was I? Ah yes, I was ten and decided to go through the ritual again. Red had just left and I was coming back to Britain, I needed a power boost to feel more safe. So this time I went after another creature, except this time I went after an acrobatula"
"Harry!" Dumbledore paled "Those are incredibly dangerous!"
"Trust me" Harry spoke slowly "I know"
Harry, once again, found himself on top of a mountain. He looked into a cave, all he could see was pitch darkness. But he knew what was in there. Luckily he had found them, now he would go back where it's safe and come up with a plan to get one of them on it's own. He kept his heart beat steady, his breathing controlled, he knew that if either changed then they would hear. Thankfully he had put silencing charms on his feet.
He took a step back, his eyes widened immediately when he heard the sound of a wings flapping. His head quickly looked back to see a bird had just landed nearby. It didn't matter now, he realised, his heart beat had increased and they heard. He barely dodged as a spine shot from one of the Acrobatula in the cave and watched in horror as it struck the bird, killing it.
He turned back and drew his wand, though he underestimated how quick they were as another spine flew and hit him in the left shoulder. His shoulder jerked backwards from the force and he fell off the top, his body rocketed down, he could feel the spine stopping his shoulder from working. Meaning he had to rely on one arm, he was brought out of his thoughts when his legs hit the side of the mountain. Fortunately he had tied his wand to his holster with a piece of string, so he wouldn't lose it, he wondered why most wizards didn't do that.
He aimed his wand and a rope shot out and pierced into the side of the mountain, allowing Harry to swing down to the bottom. When he landed, he removed the spine with his free hand. The venom did nothing but paralyse, and it would only last for a little while. Meanwhile, he had to escape. He was ready to apparated away when something crashed into his back and he was thrown face first onto the ground. He looked up into the air and saw a swarm of acrobatula's flying around.
Each one the size of an acromantula, unfortunately there wasn't much known about acrobatula's so he didn't know they hunted. Though he suspected he'd find out soon. Harry was getting to ready to get up when a huge pain erupted from his back legs, which were followed by his hands. He screamed out in agony, he looked towards his hands and his terror skyrocketed when he saw a giant spider leg had pierced both hands and he guessed that the other two legs had pierced his legs. He chanced a glance upwards and did not like what he saw.
Standing above him, with spider legs coming out of its stomach, was a giant bat for muggles, but he knew it to be an acrobatula. It had two large wings on each side that were preparing to close him in, Harry wasn't the smartest person in the world, he'd admit, but he could tell that this acrobatula was going to eat him. The others flew closer, perhaps they would get some left others or maybe they'd all join. Either way, Harry wasn't willing to find out.
No, he wouldn't die like this. He would not live through his struggles and pain just to die now.
Harry's painful screams changed, they transformed into determined roars. The acrobatula on top of him screeched in pain as lightning began dancing around Harry's body and up the acromantula legs. The sky changed, the clouds grew closer, the other acrobatula's recognised the change in weather and flew back into their cave. Deciding not to risk their selves in the lightning, a huge lightning blot shot down from the sky and hit the acrobatula on Harry.
Seconds later, it collapsed on to Harry's side. Burnt and smelly, and definitely dead. Harry was left, panting, in pain. He glanced at the deceased hunting machine next to him and growled
"This had better bloody be worth it" He snarled.
