"You've been here for two weeks Aries, and you learned much over the summer, as expected," von Reich began in perfect English. "I believe it's time for us to test how much you've learned since last year."
"Rules?" Aries asked and, with a flick of his wrist, his wand was in his hand.
Power surged forth, but was contained, the wand still called for it, and still wanted to be unleashed.
It had taken time for him to truly control his magic the way he wanted, and it had been worth the years of training von Reich had given him.
"Everything goes, save for the Unforgivables. I do not wish to be tortured or die today."
Aries smirked and moved into a defensive position and his professor moved into a more offensive one.
The Black boy's reputation was well earned, and the name given to him by many of his peers was accurate.
He often liked to wait, attacking less often and applying a more defensive approach, taking the brunt of his opponent's attack.
It was only until his opponent tired or offered a moment of disadvantage did he strike, and it was more than often fatal, unleashing the power that many knew he possessed. But perhaps he would change things up today.
"Come Viper, show me what you have learned."
Aries indeed went for a change of pace bringing his wand in a large circle before whipping it at the professor.
"Glacius!" A spike of ice flew from the tip of his wand, impaling the wall after his opponent dodged and fired back with a stunner. It glanced off Aries' shield and then he dodged a blue colored spell.
A bone-breaker curse had already been fired as Aries finished his dodge, missing the professor by inches and following it by slashing his wand across his body, sending a devastating cut hex towards his mentor.
Back and forth they went, their spells becoming considerably darker and more powerful. A sickly looking purple spell whizzed by Aries before he decided to up the ante.
He twisted and thrust his left hand toward the professor and a fireball flew towards him. Aries followed it up with another bone-breaker hoping to catch him off guard.
The fire struck the man's shield, flaring in all directions but the following curse struck the wall as the professor disappeared.
The young man felt himself relax, letting his arms almost dangle at his side, knees bent. Von Reich had disillusioned himself, and Aries was listening closely for the man.
He could not hear him but the sudden flare of magic behind him gave the warning he needed. Von Reich was quick however and knocked his wand from him with a blow to his wrist.
Aries threw caution to the wind attempting to fling spells wandlessly, but their close distance put them both at a disadvantage.
This close, they easily knocked each other's arms aside, sending the spells into the ground, walls, and ceiling.
Finally, his fist caught the professor's wrist, knocking his wand to the ground as well, but their duel was not over.
Professor von Reich had trained him in mixed martial arts from day one, believing that one should give themselves as many weapons as possible, and so the duel became a fight.
Master and apprentice fought, a blow landing here and there. Von Reich was more experienced, but Aries' nimbleness and speed were giving him the advantage.
He landed a blow on the man's jaw, just as his feet were knocked out from under him. Using the momentum, he rolled backwards, taking the opportunity to summon his wand.
His professor had regained his wand as well, and they stood off anew.
"Come on Aries!" von Reich commanded, "You can beat me! Or is this all that the Heir can do?"
Anger flashed in Aries' eyes and his control slipped as the green specks in his eyes suddenly darkened.
He touched his wand to his palm and fire erupted from the tip, swirling around him and smashing into his mentor's shield.
Lightning then flew from his fingertips as the darkest spells Aries' knew collided with the shield. There was no defense now for him, and no offense for the professor.
"Ignis flagellum!" A whip of fire streamed from his wand, wrapped around von Reich's ankles just as his powerful shield broke and ripped him to the ground.
His hand shattered from Aries' bone breaker, his wand flying far from the two. He reached the fallen man in moments, a deadly spell on his lips.
Reality flashed back to Aries as the tip of his wand, mere inches from his mentor's face, glowed red, and at the last second flicked his wrist right blasting the man's desk into pieces.
Aries was panting heavily, the combination of the immense power and the realization of what he had almost done.
How could he lose control like that? And over the stupidest of jabs, but it had struck a chord nonetheless. It had been so long since he had last control.
Power swirled around him, far from his control. Glass shattered sending dangerous shards flying through the air. He could hear his mother's calming voice, contrasting the chaos that surrounded him.
He shook his head violently, sending the memory back deep into his mind, and tried with all his might to summon the void of Occlumency.
"Yes!" his professor exclaimed, "Do you know why you finally beat me?"
"I don't know."
"You let loose! After years of trying to get you to do it, you did."
"No!" Aries shook his head again; the memory would not go away. "I can't, I can't lose control like that. Never again."
"You foolish boy." He could hear the anger in his mentor's voice.
"You have power, power that many would and have killed for. It's not chance that you've been gifted it either, my Lord. Until you realize that unleashing that power is your greatest strength, until you stop holding back the storm that is inside you, you will always be weak."
