Harry Potter The Serpent

"Come on." Harry said under his breath, a second later the manticore got a few meters away and pounced towards Harry. Harry shifted into his cat form, the manticore went over his head, having not expected the sudden change in size of his prey, Harry turned into his sabretooth form not even a second later, and threw the manticore who hadn't yet totally jumped past Harry. The manticore landed on his back just as Harry changed back into his human form.

Harry aimed his wand at the manticore and green gas shot out of it, covering the manticore before it could stand up. Once it was sufficiently covered Harry rushed backwards and shot a spark into the gas, causing it to burst into flames. The crowd gasped but Harry kept moving back.

"Oh, you are indeed an interesting two-legs." The manticore said as the smoke cleared away, he looked completely unharmed and had a wide and unsettling grin on his face. "You're smaller but I bet you'll taste so much nicer than Mike!" The manticore roared before he charged towards Harry. Harry flicked his wand and a lightning whip shot out from it, Harry waved the whip around before it shot towards the manticore. It wrapped around its neck, the manticore stopped and snarled at Harry, after a few seconds it charged towards him. Harry abandoned the whip and twirled his wand, building up air as he did so, once the manticore was close enough Harry waved his wand upwards and the manticore flew back and landed on his back but quickly rolled to a standing position and charged again.

This time it stopped a short distance in front of Harry and thrust its tail towards him, Harry wanted nothing to do with that since he knew that that tail was instant death. Harry managed to create a small shield on the tip of his wand and batted the tip of the tail to the side. The tail swung back towards him, Harry ducked under it before he did a rather Gryffindors move and jumped towards the manticore and hit it the nose with a jumping knee.

Harry figured that human face meant human face pain, even if it could take more pain than a human could. Harry quickly followed up by turning into his tiger form and scratched the manticore across the face before he changed into a kitten, and ran under it. He stopped under its belly before he changed into a sabretooth, his new size forced the manticore's lower half up and forwards, causing the manticore to land face first on the floor. Harry changed back into his cat form and quickly ran off to hide behind a rock. Once Harry was out of sight he changed back into a kitten and cast a disillusionment charm on himself, which made him invisible.

"And an advanced charm from Mr Potter." Ludo's voice was heard, he had apparently recovered enough to actually speak.

"You'll pay for that, two-legs!" The manticore growled as he got back onto all for paws, he began walking around the arena. "You will die, that is not up for debate. My skin is impenetrable, my teeth are daggers, my claws are powerful, and my tail is death!" The manticore said before he suddenly stopped, his tail wrapped around a large rock, he picked it up and tossed it in what appeared to be a random direction. The rock smashed against a boulder, shards of the rock flew outwards, including one that knocked Harry over, he had been able to dodge the rock but not the shard that struck him on the side of the head. Harry was on the floor, blood dripping out of the right side of his head. "And my senses are better than yours." The manticore finished.

Harry grunted as he pushed his face off the ground, he shook his head and once his vision cleared up he looked around and saw the manticore calmly walking towards him.

"Give up two-legs, I'll make it painless...well...I'll try." He said, eyeing Harry like he was a delicious piece of meat...which he actually was as far as the manticore was concerned.

"I would...but...stubborn." Harry reminded him as he pushed himself onto his knees.

"At least you won't die a coward." The manticore said in a voice that held a small modicum of respect. The manticore charged at him.

"Lumos Maxima!" Harry yelled out, the manticore closed his eyes when the bright light shined out of Harry's wand. Harry rolled to the side and the manticore crashed face first into the rock behind Harry, it shook his head and quickly recovered before it tried to take a swipe at Harry with his claws. Harry jumped back and fell on his back, his eyes went towards his jacket and the manticore had actually managed to cut it a little, leaving three thin claw marks across the stomach his jacket, which was pretty surprising since this was a dragon hide jacket.

Harry shook off his shock and sent a blasting curse to push the manticore back enough for Harry's next spell, an arrow shot out of Harry's wand and pierced the manticore's left eye.

"Fuck!" It shouted as it let out a pained scream. "You dare?!" It roared before it lunged at Harry. Harry created the same impact shield that he had used on the minotaur, the manticore slammed against it repeatedly before Harry released the energy from it, sending the manticore crashing against a rock a short distance away.
