The next day when they entered the Hall the Goblet of Fire had been moved and was now standing in front of Dumbledore's empty chair at the teacher's table.
"Hope it's Angelina," said a now clean shaven Fred who did not have the white long beard that him and his twin had gotten from trying to go past the Age Line, as Madison, Ron and Hermione sat down.
"So do I!" said Hermione breathlessly. "Well, we'll soon know!"
The Halloween feast seemed to take twice as long to Madison and everyone else because people kept craning necks with impatient expressions as they were waiting to see when Dumbledore would be finished eating. At long last, the golden plates returned to their spotless state, there was a sharp upswing in noise level that quickly died down as Dumbledore stood up.
"Well, the goblet is almost ready to make its decision," said Dumbledore. "I estimate that is requires one more minute. Now, when the champions' names are called, I would ask them please to come up to the top of the Hall, walk along the staff table, and go through into the next chamber" - he gestured to the door behind the staff table - "where they will be receiving their first instructions."
Dumbledore took out his wand and gave a great sweeping wave with it making all the candles except for the ones in the carved pumpkins to to be extinguished, the room was now in semi darkness. The Goblet of Fire now shown brightly in a sparkling a light almost white blue.
"Any second," Lee Jordan whispered from two seats away.
The flames turned red, sparks began to fly and with a tongue of fire a piece of charred parchment fluttered out making the whole room gasp.
Dumbledore caught it and read "The champion for Durmstrang," he paused, "will be Viktor Krum."
"No surprises there!" Ron yelled as a storm of applause and cheering swept the Hall.
Just as Krum started walking toward the staff table, what seemed like water balloons poured from the ceiling causing people to cry out in surprise as the balloons burst. Or at least Madison had thought it was water, but as the liquid touched her skin Madison's brain began overloading with memories of another place and another life. Before she fell she caught sight of 4 other people passing out just like her and the sound of people yelling out "Peeves"
Uzumaki Kushina gasped as she woke up, her mind felt fuzzy and overloaded, like when she dispelled too many shadow clones at once. She grunted with effort as she got off the bed as fast as she could and frantically began searching the room for her Naruto, only to fall on the ground with her weakened legs. A stern women who seemed to be familiar and saw her struggling to get up and quickly walked to her pulled her up onto the bed.
"Calm down ", she said in a stern voice. Kushina struggled even more as the room spun, she was getting more frantic, and was feeling defenseless a feeling she did not like. The women pulled syringe from out of her pocket and stuck it into her arm. Kushina slump as if all her strength had left her which it had because she had only been working her limbs and ignoring the pain through will and fear alone. Her fast pacing thoughts came to a stop and slowed down allowing her to think with reason. Her breath deepened as she sent her Chakra around her trying to find the Signature of anyone she knew, there, it was Uchiha Fugaku her best friend's Mikoto's husband, he felt to be only a few feet away.
"Where am I" she asked the stern women.
"You are in the hospital wing at Hogwarts, Are you ok Miss Potter"
Kushina no Madison now groaned as memories came rushing back to her. She turned her head up toward the women who she now recognized as Madame Pomfrey the Hogwarts School Nurse.
"What happened" She asked.
Madame Pomfrey glanced at her curiously as she answered, "Peeves, a unknown potion on all the students and 6 including you passed out "
"What potion was it" Madison asked, though she could guess it had something to do with remembering a life.
"Severus is trying to figure that out, now dear, tell me how you feel and if anything feels different."
Madison thought about if she should tell Madame Pomfrey about having memories from a different before deciding that Snape will figure out sooner or later that the potion had something to do with memories of a past life, so she might as well tell them some stuff.
"I feel weak and I seem to have the memories that are not mine and in those memories I remember dying ."
Madison noticed Madame Pomfrey's eyes widen and she whispered to herself "So that is why when all of the students that passed out their bodies changed." She paused "Now dear, stay here while I go get Dumbledore, and don't get out of bed."
When Madison didn't answer Madame Pomfrey turned and headed toward the door to get Dumbledore.
Madison spent the minutes until Dumbledore got there to think about what information she was going to reveal if he asked and what she was going to try her best to keep hidden, along with how she should act. She had just finished deciding when the door creaked. Quickly before the door opened fully Madison widened her eyes and urged her eyes to tear up a little.
"How are you, my girl, Madame Pomfrey tells me that you remember memories of another life, it this true," Dumbledore asked in a fake grandfatherly worried voice.
Madison inwardly snorted at how good Dumbledore was acting, well good acting for a civilian that was not trained in acting. Though outwardly she nodded tearfully.
"Now dear, can you tell me about everything from this other life," Dumbledore gently.
Madison quickly burst into tears and heart wrenching sobs like the trained Kunoichi she was. She than in between gasping breaths choked out the in the memories that she had been a daughter of the head of a warrior clan back in Federal Japan who had lived on a small island. (That was all true except that the warrior clan was really a ninja clan, that it was not during Federal Japan, but in what was most likely a whole different dimension that was called the Elemental Countries. And that the island that her clan lived on was huge because it was a whole village.) Then when she was about six she was sent to a village to married to the future leader of the village (No she was sent to become the second Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, though she did end up marrying the future leader of the village it was out of love.) She than spoke of how she and her husband were killed with a flash of red than nothing else.(The flash of red being the Kyuubi.)
Slowly over the next few seconds after she had finished telling Dumbledore about her partially true life she let the sobs fade and slumped down in the bed as if she were exhausted, which she was. After a few minutes of silence she heard Dumbledore get up and him wishing her a good night before leaving the room. Madison laid down on the bed when she was sure Dumbledore was gone and entered her mindscape. The reason she entered her mindscape was so that she was not completely defenseless and to both let her body rest and to organize her memories and fix the damage that had done. Sighing Madison set to work fixing what she could for now and until dawn or someone bothered her.
