Chapter 384: How to Take Down a Giant
"Aaaaah!" Draco began to scream as the pain from before grew more severe.
"What's happening to him?" Amycus glanced at Draco in concern.
"That witch is using blood magic. We have to help him before it's too late," Alecto said, pointing her wand at Daphne.
"Avada Kedav—ahh!" She felt a sharp pain shoot through her hand, forcing her to drop her wand, and she then saw the blood dripping from her palm.
"Don't interfere. Those two have something to settle," Harry said, having cast a piercing charm on Alecto's hand.
"Grom! Kill that boy!" Amycus gave the order to the giant immediately. Neither he nor his sister recognized Harry, assuming he was just another Hogwarts student not worth their attention.
But now it was clear that had been a mistake.
"That boy…" Alecto clutched her wounded hand, staring at Harry. She hadn't even seen him move or speak to cast a spell, it was as if the magic had come from nowhere.
Meanwhile, as Daphne continued her fight, the giant, Grom, obeyed Amycus's command. The creature leaned forward and lifted his massive foot into the air, aiming to crush Harry with all his might. The foot, larger than the average car, descended upon Harry.
Remaining calm, Harry raised his left hand, drawing a circular motion in the air. A black circle appeared above him, directly in the path of the giant's foot.
It was difficult to see clearly in the darkness of night, but all of them noticed something strange had appeared.
The giant sensed that the small wizard beneath him had done something, but he had no time to wonder what it was before his entire foot, and part of his leg, disappeared into the black hole.
From the Carrow twins' perspective, it was truly bizarre...it looked like the giant's leg had simply vanished into thin air.
Before they could guess what was happening, the foot reappeared. Except now it was above the giant's own head, carrying all the force of his intended attack.
"Careful!" was all Amycus managed to yell before Grom's own foot collided with his head.
The impact was tremendously loud, a testament to the giant's strength, which was now directed at himself.
The giant groaned in pain but was not deterred. He prepared for a straight punch this time.
The Carrow twins yelled at him to stop. There was clearly something wrong here, but the giant was too angry to listen.
"Ahrgg!" Grom yelled as he brought down his fist upon Harry with all his might. He wanted to completely crush this human into a meat paste.
Harry made another motion and just like before, a large black hole appeared in front of him, intercepting the attack from the giant.
The fist went through the hole and reappeared at the back of the giant's head.
The impact was even louder than before, creating a shockwave that they could all feel from where they were standing.
"Urghhh!" Grom groaned as his eyes rolled back and his enormous body began to collapse.
Harry quickly sidestepped to avoid being crushed.
The giant let out another grunt upon hitting the ground. He was still conscious, but dazed.
With Grom now vulnerable, Harry positioned himself beside the giant's head, aiming the tip of his staff at the creature's temple.
"Terebra." The curse version of the piercing charm could be empowered beyond normal limits, and with the amount of magic Harry poured into it, even a dragon's scales would be punctured.
Giants had a natural resistance to magic, but this curse pierced through with ease.
"Noooo!" Amycus cried. It had all happened so quickly, and they hadn't expected this. For a moment, he was certain that the boy would be crushed without a chance to fight back. Now, barely a minute later, he watched the giant being put down like a rabid beast.
"Who is he?!" Alecto muttered in shock. It was obvious now that this wasn't some ordinary Hogwarts student. Even a trained Auror wouldn't have brought down a giant so effortlessly.
And Grom was far from an average giant...he was the eldest son of the Giant King, one of the largest and strongest giants alive.
"What do we do?" Amycus was now seriously considering retreating. But to escape, they'd need to deactivate the anti-apparition wards they'd put in place. These blood magic variants were incredibly potent, though they also prevented their escape. They'd never had a reason to consider fleeing until now.
Both Carrows had the same thought and glanced at the metallic pyramid they'd set a few feet away.
"I'll create a distr—"
Amycus's next words were drowned out by Draco Malfoy's blood-curdling screams.
"Aaargh! What did you do?!" Draco yelled at Daphne.
"Painful, isn't it?" she said, holding her wand in front of her.
"Argentum Gladio." The wand transformed into a silver blade.
"Stop! Get it out! Get it out of me!" he screamed.
Daphne made a sweeping gesture with the sword, sending more drops of her blood toward him.
In his panicked state, he couldn't dodge a single one, and each drop pierced his body.
Draco's screams grew louder as he collapsed, unable to control his spasms.
Daphne stepped closer to him.
"My blood is tearing you apart from the inside. Ironic, isn't it? Doing this to a vampire?"
A regular human would already be dead, but Daphne knew a vampire wouldn't die from this. She just wanted him to suffer.
"S-stop! P-please…" Draco managed to stammer as red tears streamed from his eyes.
Daphne raised her blade above his chest. Draco was now defenseless.
"Pansy had her flaws as a person…but she was my friend, and she didn't deserve to be murdered by an egotistical monster like you." She took a breath, her expression unreadable.
"I hope she can see this, somehow."
Without hesitation, she brought the blade down.
