Harry Potter and the Order Of the Phoenix [153]
“On your marks… get set… go!” yelled Professor Flitwick. The eyes of the clones shot open, and each turned to its original. Parvati seemed to be having some trouble convincing hers to fight, but Hermione and Ron, who had been through this rigmarole before, convinced theirs quite quickly. Unfortunately, it was not fast enough.
“Siragus!” yelled Neville’s clone, pointing right between Ron and Parvati’s clones. There was a giant explosion, knocking both clones against the glass of the arena. Neville’s clone then turned to his next victim, Hermione’s clone.
“Korosucide!” it yelled, without Neville even saying anything. Hermione’s clone quickly did a cartwheel out of the way, but she wheeled right into the hole Neville had made. His clone smiled.
“Serpensorta! Sendoni Asimi!” yelled Neville’s clone. A long, green snake shot out of his wand, followed closely by a tough, silvery sheet. The snake flew right into the hole Hermione’s clone had gone into, and the sheet covered the hole, trapping her inside with the reptile. There were several screams of terror that erupted from inside the hole, and Harry saw Hermione’s clone try to escape from it, pushing with all her strength against the sheet. Neville’s clone was clearly in control of how this duel was going to end.
He turned his attention to Ron and Parvati’s clones now, who were lowering themselves down from the sides of the arena. Neville’s clone waited until they were both back on the ground before he made his move.
“Impalition!” he yelled at Ron’s clone. Instead of a beam coming out, a large, wooden plank popped up from the ground behind Ron’s clone. He tried to move away from it, but the more he moved, the closer he seemed to get to it. After a few seconds, his back appeared at though it were glued to the block.
Then, suddenly, a large, sharp, thin and metallic spike shot out from the plank, right through Ron’s clone’s stomach. There was a smatter of blood that shot from the point of impaling, it flew through the air, and landed on Parvati’s clone’s cheek. Ron’s clone’s eyes got cloudy, and rolled back. With his last ounce of strength, he gripped the spike that was now covered in blood. His hands then went limp, along with the rest of his body, and he died.
Neville immediately turned to Parvati’s clone, and gave a sickening smile.
“Impalition!” he yelled at her. The plank immediately rose up behind her. She desperately tired to run away from it, clawing at the air, but it was all in vain. The plank was now touching her back. Knowing what was going to happen next, Parvati’s clone gripped her stomach, and let a tear roll down from her eye, running through the smattered blood on her cheek. She turned her red eyes over to Parvati, who didn’t looked hurt at all, just disappointed.
“Why did you make me?” she asked through her tears. “Was it just so I could d-” The spike shot out from the plank, and impaled her as well, killing her immediately. Neville’s clone wiped his hands against each other, and smiled. Just then, there was another scream from Hermione’s clone. She was evidently still alive.
“Hentai Tsunami!” he yelled. A flaming tornado appeared right above the covered hole that Hermione was in. Harry heard Hermione’s cone scream, but only for a second. It was snuffed out by the tornado destroying her. The flaming tornado disappeared, laving behind only ashes and burn marks. Neville and his clone smiled.
It had to be the most grotesque and terrible vision Harry had ever seen, even worse than Azkaban. Hermione’s clone’s carcass was laying in the hole, with a puddle of blood and ash around it. On either side of the hole was a plank with a person impaled on it, each one gripping the spike that went through him or her. Harry felt like throwing
