Love of a Wicked Heart

Chapter 1

1995, Ministry of Magic, Holding Cells

Theodora "Thea" Potter woke up in a holding cell somewhere, not sure where she was. The last thing she remembered was passing out after making it back to Hogwarts with Cedric's body after escaping the graveyard where Voldemort had gotten his body back through a dark ritual. Soon she saw Amos Diggory walk into the room and stand in front of the cell she was currently in. He looked at Thea as he looked upon her without betraying what he was feeling and asked, "What happened to my son and please don't lie to me."

Thea sighed and said, "It was just after the first take started and I was carefully making my way through the maze when I came across Victor Krum trying to use the Cruciatus Curse on Cedric. I saw his eyes and noticed that they had a glazed over look and bluish color to them. I remembered the look as Mad-Eye Moody put us under the Imperius Curse and that was the most noticeable symptom of the curse. I quickly stunned Victor and helped Cedric up before we both began running as the maze was about to collapse on us. We continued to move in random directions before we made it to the center of the maze. We both saw the cup and I told Cedric to take the cup while he told me to do the same. Soon the maze began to collapse again and we both agreed to take it together."

So far Amos was listening carefully, so Thea continued, saying, "When we grabbed the cup, it turned out to be a port key and we ended up in some sort of graveyard. We began to look around before I found a gravestone that had the name Tom Riddle on it. I remembered that it was the name of Voldemort's father and also his real name. Not many know this but he is a Half-Blood and his name is an anagram for his real name. I began to panic and I yelled out to Cedric that it was a trap and to be ready. He pulled out his wand and we began to move low and slow but my scar began to hurt. Next thing I know is that I'm holding my head from burning pain in my scar and Cedric was standing over me, trying to pull me to cover. Sadly I heard someone saying to kill the spare. He and I fought back for a bit and got off a few nasty spells but we were overpowered and next thing I know I hear someone cast the killing curse and Cedric was dead."

At this, Amos let out a slight sob before trying controlling his emotions enough to let Thea continue. Once he gave Thea a nod to let her know she could continue, she said, "After I saw Cedric die, I saw a red light flying towards me and next thing I know, I'm being woken up tied to the tombstone of Tom Riddle. One thing you need to know is that Sirius Black was not the one to betray my parents to Voldemort, but Peter Pettigrew who hid in his animagus for which was a common garden rat. In my third year, Sirius saw Pettigrew in his animagus form in the Daily Prophet and escaped Azkaban to save me from Pettigrew. But because of Snape's interference, Peter escaped and was there to help bring Voldemort back. He used a ritual with the incantation, Bone of the father, unknowingly given; you will renew your son. Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed, you will revive your master. Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken, you will resurrect your foe. I watched as Voldemort was resurrected and given a new body as well as call the members of his inner circle that had escaped Azkaban. I don't remember anything after that except waking up in here."

Amos Diggory sighed as he thought about his son and proud that he faced off a fully trained death eater to help save a friend. Amos looked sadly at Thea and said, "You are here because you are to be tried for Cedric's murder. I know you had nothing to do with my son's death and I want to warn those who will listen. First I am going to take three copies of all your memories from your time at Hogwarts. One will be hidden in the Diggory family vault. The second will go to Amelia Bones, head of the DMLE and someone who is trying to investigate this incident but has been blocked at every moment. I will also give a copy to Albus Dumbledore so he has an idea of what is going on. I also brought some parchment and two quills. One is a normal quill for you to write that all of your vaults are to be locked down in case the ministry tries to steal from them depending on the outcome. The second is a blood quill which will prove that you are the one who wrote the letter. I will also take a small vial of your blood to give to the goblins to test for any inactive vaults in your name through an inheritance test."

Thea thought about it for a moment before nodding and letting Amos take three copies of her memories and then a small vial of her blood for the goblins to test. She also wrote out two copies to the goblins which one was to remain hidden in the Potter Family Vault as well as a Final Will that unless she was to die, no one was allowed access to her money. Once that was taken care of, Amos snuck out and went to set up everything before the Ministry tried anything against the young Potter heir that would destroy the Wizarding World.

1995, Ministry of Magic, Courtroom 05

Thea was eventually dragged into a room and placed in a large chair and had chains wrapped around her. She looked around and saw many different members but the one thing she noticed was that many of them were in the graveyard that night. Soon she saw Cornelius Fudge bang the gavel and say, "Theodora Danielle Potter, you stand here accused for the murder of Cedric Amos Diggory. As well as the use of dark magic banned by the ministry, and torture of fellow students at Hogwarts. How do you plead?"

Thea looked at Cornelius Fudge and drawled out, "Not guilty on all accounts Minister. I do hope you are not trying to railroad me or I wonder what the public will think when they find out what the Ministry is willing to do to those they do not like."

Cornelius looked nervous for a moment before composing himself and said, "Let it be heard that the defendant has entered a guilty plea. But to give a proper setting of the punishments, we will hear the testimony of those who have accused her of torture and use of dark magic. We shall now hear the first witness."

Thea soon snarled, "I am starting to get that you all work for the dark lord or at least sympathize with his money as bribes. I do have right but I guess your greed does not care about them."

Soon a sickly false sweet voice said, "You silly little Half-blood, you do not have rights within our world. Soon the rest of the Half-bloods and Mudbloods will join you."

Thea glared at the woman who was in too much pink and watched with twisted amusement as the horrid woman flinched under the gaze of her cold green eyes. She then snorted in amusement and drawled out, "Tom Marvolo Riddle is a Half-blood but many of you call him master and kiss the hem of his robe. I just thought you should know that you bound yourselves the bastard child of a squib and a Muggle who is throwing a temper tantrum because his Muggle father hated him."

Soon Cornelius nodded and an Auror put a silencing charm on Thea and called in the first witness. Soon Thea watched as Severus Snape walked into the room with a twisted grin on his face as he took the stand. Soon he was asked to give testimony and he did, saying, "Miss Potter has blatantly ignored the rules at Hogwarts and always puts her fellow students in constant danger. She is horrible at potions and has tried to tamper with other students potions. In her third year, she attacked me and helped Sirius Black escape justice."

This continued on for a bit and soon Snape was replaced by Draco Malfoy and many of Slytherin house who spoke of how she always fought and attacked them for no reason and they were scared of her trying to kill them. Soon as the last testimony was finished, Cornelius stood up and said, "I believe it is quite clear what her punishment should be. Theodora Danielle Potter, you are hereby sentenced to death by being thrown through the veil of death. Do you have any last words?"

Once the silencing charm was removed, Thea glared at everyone in the room as she snarled out, "I swear that I will find a way back and when I do, you will all wish to be held under the Cruciatus Curse cast by Voldemort because I will make your lives pure hell."

With that, Thea was dragged to the Veil of Death in the Department of Mysteries and thrown through. What shocked many was that just before she went through the Veil, it turned into green mist only to return normal after she went through it.

Date Unknown, Location Unknown

Thea sighed as she slowly gained consciousness and tried to take in her surroundings. As soon as she was fully aware of where she was, she noticed a large castle in the distance that seemed to be made out of green glass. She slowly pushed herself up off of the ground and waited until she gained her balance. She slowly looked down and saw the road was made of yellow bricks. She sighed and slowly began to make her way to the large city, wondering where the hell she was.

Well everyone here is Chapter 1. I hope you enjoyed it and look forward to the rest of the story. I am hoping to finish my other stories soon but I am currently suffering from writer's block with them. I am hoping that I will have more time now that I am finishing up for the semester.
