Fate of the Cloak

[sarahulalume]

The cloak of invisibility hung around Cole's shoulders. His torso and legs were hidden beneath it. Only his head would have been visible to any onlookers. The third floor corridor was empty at present however. Curfew was nearing, Cole swept around a corner. He saw a lone figure ahead, standing near his night's destination.
When Cole's cronie saw his head levitating toward her, she jumped with fright. She recognized Cole though and stifled herself before she made anymore noise.
"Thanks." Cole barked at the inept second year.
"I kept the door open. Like you asked." The girl stared admirably at Cole. Cole laughed inside but kept his frustrated appearance with her. "How are you doing that?" The girl had a shrill voice, but was cute.
"Invisibility Cloak, most powerful one in existence. It is infallible. You may go. Remember, drop me from your mind. If the professor's catch me, you will be killed."

Cole turned away from the annoying Ravenclaw girl. He threw the cloak over his head and hurried into Professor Fletcher's office. The room was dark. Almost as though Cole had stepped into an abyss. He knew the enchantment well, however, and continue past the illusion. Light flooded his senses as he brought them out of enchantment. As he had predicted, leaving the door ajar kept most of the room's defences disabled. Cole stepped over to the DADA professor's desk and dropped the cloak to the floor around him. He reached out his wand and opened a drawer with his other hand. He smirked to himself, "Aguamenti." Water shot forth from his wand and flooded the drawer. Cole froze suddenly, realizing that someone had been watching.

Cole looked up at Viktor and smiled carelessly, "What? Did I steal your girlfriend? Listen, I'm busy right now. We can duel later, kid." Cole opened another drawer and burned everything in it this time.

[Viktor Mercus Lorrein]

Viktor spent some time in the common room looking at the elder wand, he killed someone to obtain it, and yet didn't have a chance to use it, he sighed pocketing the wand as he left the common room, where could he find the rest of the relics, he needed the cape and that stone and with that, he would achieve immortality, he was sure of it, didn't the legends say that the possessor of all three would master death, he just shook his head, he was already in his own opinion the strongest and the most terrifying dark wizard of all times, he was arrogant like that, he just kept a smile on, pushing a long a couple of students as he was in the corridors, something was off, there was no more students in view, at least that's what he thought. He soon saw something unexpected, or rather a head and no bodies, helped by a student it seemed, he hid long enough to hear some of the conversation, a powerful one, interesting, really interesting, he waited till the little girl went away.

Viktor, observed, curious what was happening? He followed, what was this student up to, soon he didn't see the person, the invisibility cloak was over him but he knew now where he was going, so he merely followed as the enchantments were broken, a rather interesting feat, one that was easy no doubt, he did not care much about it, eventually he saw him take off the cloak and throw it somewhere, he just looked around, closing the door with his wand and also locking it. He approached it, wondering why he was using the Aguamenti spell, no bother, he just looked at him as the clueless imbecile finally realized he wasn't alone.

"Who needs a girlfriend when you can use someone as a toy, no, you pathetic fool, what I want is the cloak, and I will get it, from your dead body." Viktor said, in a cold tone as he took out the elder wand and pointed it at Cole. "Have you forgotten the dueling code you imbecile, bow to your murderer."

[sarahulalume]

Cole was not a stranger to death threats, much less duels. Cole returned the drawer to it's closed state. Cole looked up at Viktor, studying him. Viktor did not seen dishonest about what he had said. Cole's eyes widened, "What cloak? I do not own a cloak. The Potter's do not hide thier frames."
Cole stepped out from behind the Professor's desk. "Bow? A Potter only bows to his equals. Duelling rules do not bind me. But you may bow before me, if you wish."

Cole put his hands behind his back. Then he cast a charm non-verbally behind him. The cloak of invisibility billowed out then engulfed Cole whole. "Crucio!" Cole aimed the curse at Viktor's chest. A smile upon his face. Cole, of course, expected a quick victory. Cole made a couple steady steps to the left, so that he would not be standing where Viktor had seen him last.

[Viktor Mercus Lorrein]

Viktor just looked at the student in front of him, he was thinking himself to be all mighty, it just made him laugh, As the boy casted the crucio, for a moment he waited for it, waited for the pain that he loved to feel, but nothing happened, nothing except a minor feeling that disappeared almost instantly, he sighed, he was dealing with a weakling, with a wave of his wand, he just forced the boy into a bow. Then releasing him.

"Let me show you, how it's really done." He pointed the elder wand at him, he would finally get some fun and get to use this instrument of death. "Crucio" He had time to lose with this mediocre wizard, he would inflict the greatest of pains, and he would also use a special spell he created, he just smiled. "You should feel lucky, you will soon die from a spell I invented."

[sarahulalume]

Cole grabbed at his chest as he was hit by Viktor's counter-curse. Cole's wand was thrown behind him. He knew that the duel was now over already and he could do nothing. He struggled against the pain desperately but did not cry out.
Cole eventually managed to smirk at Viktor as the other student tried to intimidate him. Through clenched teeth and intense gasping Cole retorted, "Don't take- ugh! All day, mate."

[Viktor Mercus Lorrein]

Viktor smiled, the boy didn't know that he would die a slow and painful death, with what he intended, he just smiled. "Very well." He said as he kept the crucio going, approaching Cole, he kicked him on the stomach just for fun as he walked away from him, still his wand pointed at Cole, he just smiled, he let go of the crucio, casting his invention at Cole non-verbally. Black flames started appearing on Coles body, burning him, he would still live for a while, until it starts burning inside his body.

[sarahulalume]

Cole hadn't expected any other student would try to kill him. To be quite honest, he thought Viktor was bluffing. But the rawness of Viktor's response finally frightened Cole. He struggled to fight off the effects of the Cruciatus, but to no avail. His attempt to recover was too late, Cole began to feel burning all over his body. The pain it wrought was quite unlike that of the Cruciatus, which Cole could resist. Although he tried at first to scream out in pain, Cole could muster no breath to do so. He rolled about kicking madly. His arms flailed about against the cold stone floor as Cole finally collected the ability to cry out.

"Sarah!" was all Cole Potter could manage to say before descending into tortured pleas.

[Viktor Mercus Lorrein]

Viktor just smiled, the effects of the spell he invented were rather enjoyable, he looked at his victim, it seems his attitude changed, or at least he was finally frightened. He just laughed, maniacally, this was interesting, this pathetic excuse of a wizard actually thought he was kidding. Viktor intensified the spell just by making the spell continue and pointing the wand at Cole, he could smell the burnt flesh which was rather a pleasant smell at the moment, he had to make sure that the body would be unrecognizable, he was also wondering who this Sarah might be, a friend of his, a sister? No matter he would deal with that later. Viktor would also have to look for that bloody cape.
