Third Person POV
London.
...
...
Snape and Voldemort kept descending through the sky at high speed, while a large part of London was out on the streets, looking up and pointing, thinking it was some kind of atmospheric phenomenon.
The two lights clashed against each other, heading toward the ground at that speed.
The people who were at the location where they were falling began to panic in the middle of the streets of London, screaming and running, until the two descended with both beams reaching the verge of exploding right near the main road.
BOOOOOOMMMM
The explosion immediately sent a shockwave in all directions as the sound of shattering glass was instantly heard.
Snape and Voldemort were flying quickly between the buildings along the street side by side, attacking one another, firing spells, while people began to scream and cars stopped in the middle of the area.
The Muggles had no idea what was happening as they tried to protect themselves amid the screams.
Snape and Voldemort were now in a completely Muggle area, racing through the city while fighting each other. A black smoke and a bolt of lightning kept chasing one another, casting spells.
And the destruction of those who were getting married in the city drew attention. Even so, the two kept moving through the Muggle streets, and the wizards who weren't present at the earlier events quickly noticed the commotion.
Some Aurors who were still in London went after them to understand what was happening after hearing signs that spells were being cast.
It didn't take long for them to arrive, flying above the city, spotting a duel between two wizards as they flew through the streets, exploding buildings and windows while their spells clashed.
The Muggles were panicking wherever they passed, asking what was happening, without even being able to see what was really going on, as Snape and Voldemort were extremely fast, flying by like bright blurs.
"Quick, inform the other Auror teams!" an Auror shouted atop his broomstick, staring stunned at the scene from above.
"Go now! Alert them through the mirrors. We're going after them!" another responded, as a group of Aurors immediately flew into the city, seeing how serious the situation was.
There was no use in trying to hide their presence anymore, as the battle had already surpassed the magical world and was drawing the attention of all the Muggles.
Quickly, the broomsticks entered the streets too, pursuing right behind them.
The Aurors tried to dodge everything, as bolts of magic even flew in their direction, almost being hit by stray spells, windows, and pieces of roof tiles or bricks scattered everywhere.
Voldemort was trying to reach the streets of the wizarding communities, personally heading to Diagon Alley, near the Ministry of Magic. All he wanted was to escape, while continuing to attack and defend himself from Severus Snape's strikes, who gave him no moment of rest there.
The Aurors quickly tried to control the situation, casting repair spells and even protecting the Muggles. All the people in London could see were simply two arrows of light flying at high speed, breaking several parts of the surrounding buildings, and more wizards running right behind, passing by so fast they couldn't even realize they were humans on broomsticks, casting spells to try to contain all the chaos.
This continued as Voldemort tried to take an alley, distancing himself from Severus, but the latter quickly cut him off, catching him at the next corner and casting spells.
Voldemort was hit by one of them, flying backward and crashing through a window of one of the buildings, probably a Muggle company, while people inside screamed.
It indicated that the place was still operating, and the lightning bolt entered the building. Quickly, the two battled there until they shot out the other side, breaking another window, with Voldemort fleeing and Severus chasing him.
This continued for a while, until they finally began entering the wizarding area, a hidden part of London.
Wizards still passing through Diagon Alley, with some shops still open, suddenly looked up upon seeing flashes of light in the distance, only able to observe through the glow that expanded behind the rooftops and buildings surrounding them.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound erupted, making several people scream, as the lightning and the black cloud entered the area, crashing directly into a shop that provided transportation through Floo Powder, terrifying the people inside with screams of horror as spells and explosions began to erupt.
The black cloud shot backward, flying out again, and the lightning chased it after Severus shattered all the fireplaces in the place, preventing Voldemort from escaping.
Voldemort quickly headed into another shop, with Snape chasing him, while the Aurors tried to locate them and calm the entire situation. Several wizards began to run, and even shop owners drew their wands and appeared in the streets, watching all the chaos, with explosions and lightning between the two wizards.
Some spells that would have hit people unable to defend themselves were blocked by Severus, who also used the lightning to protect the civilians.
This opened a gap for Voldemort, who then cast a Fiendfyre in the middle of Diagon Alley in a quick thought, exploding into flames as the creature began to form, threatening all the wizards around. Voldemort finally appeared, returning to his normal body in the middle of the smoke, and gave Severus a triumphant smile.
"Good luck trying to save them all."
He simply grabbed Floo Powder in front of the fireplace, but before he could escape, Severus cast a spell on the fireplace, enchanting it, and transformed into lightning again before flying out, leaving Voldemort surrounded by green flames and disappearing from there completely.
Severus appeared in front of the Fiendfyre creature, in the shape of a giant serpent.
Everyone had already raised their wands to try to stop it from approaching, with over 100 wizards gathered there.
People were surprised by him simply standing there, and he just made a motion with his hands, crossing his arms upward as his wand emitted lightning, lowering them the next moment.
With no cloud in the sky, thunder suddenly came down from above, flying instantly toward the creature, destroying it completely, as the entire area exploded — with everyone screaming in surprise, yet no one was hurt.
Voldemort's spell was completely undone, and Severus simply shot into the sky, transforming again into lightning, leaving Diagon Alley with everyone there stunned.
Severus advanced directly toward the Ministry of Magic.
Voldemort finally believed he had escaped, thinking he would appear in his castle.
But he appeared in a completely different place.
He looked around, stunned to realize he was inside the reception area of the Ministry of Magic, not understanding what was happening, as lightning flashed in the distance through the window.
Severus was casting his lightning to destroy the fire serpent before appearing, shattering the window and appearing right in front of Voldemort, who grimaced and swallowed hard.
He simply returned to the fireplace and threw the powder to the ground, but this time, nothing burned, leaving him in shock.
"Before you used the Floo Powder in the other fireplace, I enchanted it to bring you directly here. And no one can leave anymore," Severus said calmly, leaving Voldemort speechless.
He grew angry. It seemed that trying to flee was useless now — this would be his downfall. So he decided to fight, even if it was the last thing he did in his life.
The green beam of the Avada Kedavra shot from his wand as he screamed, and Severus responded with his blue lightning bolt swiftly. The two energies clashed once more, as the Ministry of Magic's reception hall lit up from the impact of the duel.
Some people still inside the building quickly came out to see what was happening and were shocked to witness that kind of battle taking place right there, fleeing as fast as they could.
Some Aurors also appeared in the reception and were tense upon witnessing the scene of Severus and Voldemort circling each other while both magics collided, but they did not run.
They kept their wands in hand, ready to face whatever was happening at that moment, fully recognizing the two.
"My lord, they are in the Ministry of Magic!" said an Auror elsewhere in the country through a mirror, seeming to be in the Ministry's reception as the green and blue lights flashed all over the place, while several broomsticks sped through the region heading quickly toward the Ministry.
Ministry agents, including the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Alastor Moody, were rushing with dozens of Aurors after hearing through the magical mirror that Severus Snape and Voldemort were fighting in the middle of London — and now, they were inside the Ministry of Magic at that very moment, as the mirror had said.
"Quick, we must go!" they exclaimed, hurrying to the nearest fireplace to teleport, wondering if anything else could surprise them that night.
The duel between the two dark lords continued for a while, until they seemed to finally reach their limit, as an explosive energy began to build between the tips of their spells.
Clashing against each other, the energy grew rapidly, and all the Aurors present immediately raised shields, for they knew the danger it represented.
The next moment, an explosion erupted between the two attacks, beginning to expand in all directions, shattering all the windows.
The floor began to crack and crumble, while Severus and Voldemort remained at the center of the clash, and everything around them began to fall.
Their battle had now entered the underground levels of the Ministry.
The Aurors finally began to emerge from the fireplace, while many employees tried to flee — but the fireplace simply wouldn't work. Only those trying to come in could use it, but no one could escape.
"What's going on?" Alastor Moody immediately asked, seeing the enormous hole in the floor of the reception hall, as the place began to tremble.
"Sir, the situation is out of control! They're fighting inside the Ministry! They're in the lower levels!" the Aurors on-site reported, trying to protect the Ministry as more tremors began to occur.
"Quickly, let's go!" Alastor said, heading toward the source of the explosions.
Deep inside, in the most secured parts of the Ministry — where there were prophecies, various kinds of studies, and even the Veil of Life and Death — everything was being disturbed, as Severus and Voldemort continued casting spells at one another, breaking walls, destroying prophecies, damaging objects used by the Ministry for research.
Their spells had devastated the entire place, and they had been at it for the last ten minutes, firing relentlessly.
It was at that moment that Voldemort opened his eyes, dazed, as he felt he had been struck severely.
His body was finally hurled spinning like a helicopter blade against one of the walls, cracking it before he stood up amidst the smoke, trying to escape, realizing he was losing the battle.
The Aurors arrived at the scene, witnessing all the devastation, but their eyes immediately turned to the smoke escaping toward the ceiling as the lightning followed Voldemort close behind.
Realizing this, he began casting multiple spells upward, hitting the upper floors and opening holes, causing everything to collapse on top of Severus. He repeated this on every floor of the place.
Severus, however, used his speed to dodge, zigzagging like a lightning bolt. And when someone was caught in the chaos by Voldemort, Severus managed to cast shadow teleportation directly from his wand, saving them by transporting them to a safe place within the Ministry.
The roof finally broke, revealing the night sky above. Voldemort shot into the sky, but Severus simply increased his speed even more, flying as fast as lightning this time.
He caught Voldemort not far above, with his own hands, the Dark Lord still inside the smoke, surprised that Severus reached him in an instant, something he hadn't done at any other point — except when he first arrived in the sky over London.
Still holding onto Voldemort, Severus hurled him downward. He crashed directly onto the street in front of the Ministry of Magic.
Severus landed nearby, his body wrapped in lightning, while Voldemort emerged from his smoke, wounded and furious.
The Aurors began to appear in the middle of the street shortly after, using Apparition. Quickly, the area started to be surrounded by a crowd of Ministry wizards.
They pointed their wands at the two known dark lords, who had been fighting one another, devastating the Ministry and causing the greatest chaos in London. Now they were there, and Severus didn't even seem concerned about it — unlike Voldemort, who looked around, realizing he was surrounded.
"Voldemort, you know you won't be able to escape from here without defeating me.
How about this? Let's each cast only one spell, one against the other. The most powerful we've got.
Let's settle this once and for all!" Severus raised his voice.
Voldemort looked at him again, feeling humiliated, while also knowing he couldn't run. Snape had already proven he was faster. And now, they were surrounded by at least eighty Aurors — What else could he do?
Would this be his end?
