(The Next Day-Hogwarts-Great Hall)
Ami sat down at the table and almost jumped when Severus addressed her, she turned to him and smiled apologetically "Sorry Severus, I'm a bit distracted, what did you say?" Severus chuckled as did most of the staff "I asked, how are you finding your role as a teacher?" Ami's beaming smile could have been an overpowered Lumos in Severus's mind "I love it, I am much more laid back than the rest of you as my subject is a brand new one and the students don't have any idea what to expect, so I try to make them comfortable in my presence".
Severus nodded "I see, that would make sense, maybe I should have gone with that approach but given my past as a spy" Ami nodded "it wouldn't have seemed logical whilst you had the Dark Mark, I understand that, oh, give me a second" she turned to the first year who had come up to the table "Professor Ami, can you read this over for me? I'm not sure I did very well at explaining it". Ami smiled softly "Of course, Mr Parker, I would be happy to" Ami took the assignment and looked it over, her finger turned blue and Severus watched as she underlined bit and made comments before handing it back to him.
Ami nodded there you go, Mr Parker, you should find those comments useful and constructive" the first year smiled at her "Thanks, Professor Ami" before running back to the Hufflepuff table, Albus chuckled "They are rather taken with you, aren't they?" Ami smiled "To be fair, I'm the closest to their age group, so they are more relaxed around me and I am more than happy to be helpful and unbiased as I am not linked to any house pride, so they feel comfortable to come to me with issues" the other teachers nodded with frowns.
Albus sighed "Maybe we should bring this up in our next staff meeting, but thank you once again Ami for showing me that you are a boon to our school, I don't think Hogwarts would give you up unless you asked her to" Fawkes flew into the room and dropped the Sorting Hat on Ami's head before flying over to Eclipse, the Sorting Hat smiled "Ah, the Queen of Digimon, you are too old to be sorted and you are a lot like little Eclipse, so, you shall be the Head of the Camelot House as decreed by Hogwarts herself".
The hall fell into silence as they all stared at Ami, she coughed into her hand and blushed under the stares "Thank you Sebastian, and give my thanks to Hogwarts as well for this vote of confidence in me, and I would be happy to take up the position as Head of the Camelot House, and I will do my best to make sure any and all students under my House will be happy in these hallowed halls" the students burst into applause as the Symbol of a Castle appeared above her left breast.
(Hogwarts-Courtyard-October 30th)
Harry and the others lined up together to show Unity as all of the other students lined up with their houses, Ami stood by them knowing that these students would likely end up in the Camelot House, Founders or no Founders, she smiled at them and watched as they began to throw around Warming Charms and received thanks from the other students. Ami heard them muttering about how the other schools were going to arrive when Harry pointed at a very obscure object in the sky "There, that's one of them".
He then pointed at the lake "And the bubbling and swirling of the water indicates something rising from the depths" Cedric chuckled "I see that those Seeker eyes aren't having any trouble Harry" Harry grinned at him "Nope, perfect as always Ced" Cedric let out a friendly laugh. Ami frowned at the two "There are Digimon on board both transports" Harry looked at her before turning to the unity group, which had now included Cedric.
"Digmon alert" the group nodded and pulled out their Digivices, Albus noticed and frowned before looking at Ami who was looking between the object coming into view and the boat rising from the lake with narrowed eyes 'Ah, A Digimon alert, it seems Harry is ready as always, I think Alastor would like the lad' Albus nodded at the other staff members who had noticed and they turned back to the carriage that was flying down towards them.
The Giant horses landed as did the carriage, a young man in blue walked out and set up a set of steps as the largest woman Harry had ever seen walked out of the carriage, she walked over to Albus "Dumbley-Dorr, a pleasure to see you again, you are well?" Albus nodded and kissed the back of her hand "As well as can be for someone of my age, my Dear Madam Maxime" the woman, Maxime nodded and looked at the lake "Igor is coming, my students".
As she spoke a group of about 30-40 students in light blue walked out of the carriage, they walked over to Madam Maxime, the one with silvery blonde hair looked over all of the students before stopping on Harry, who had moved over to the Abraxans, she looked at the Digivice in his hand and looked up at him in shock, he looked at her and nodded, she nodded back and returned to her group, Maxime was talking about the care for her horses.
Albus looked over at Harry who was carefully leading the Abraxans over to the large stable like area in the courtyard and smiled before turning to Madam Maxime "Madam Maxime, your fears are unnecessary, if you look, the situation in already in hand" Maxime turned to her Abraxans and looked on with wide eyes as the happily followed this strange boy into the stables, he gently ran his hand through their manes before moving back over to the Unity group, she blinked before turning to Albus "Dumbley-Dorr, who ez t'iz boy?" Albus smiled at Harry who nodded and bowed "That would be Harry, Maxime, Harry Potter".
Maxime stared between Albus and Harry in shock as Igor walked up to the group, Harry, Tekuya and Ami turned so fast that people thought they might have gotten whiplash, they all stared at his left arm, the other students figured it out quickly given Harry and Tekuya's duel against the two ex-lords and mutter spread over the crowds as they stared at Igor Karkaroff, Karkaroff noticed the mutterings before looking over at Tekuya, Harry and Ami, he sneered at them before Harry and Tekuya let their magic slip for a second.
For a moment the courtyard was filled with oppressive magical power before it receded back into the two teens who smiled politely at Karkaroff, Harry did looked over at both Tori and Fleur curiously for a moment given how his magic reacted around them, Karkaroff shivered at the amount of power these two teens showed in that moment, "Sorry about that" Tekuya apologised politely, then Harry smiled seemingly apologetically "But our magic slips around your kind, twice over" Karkaroff winced at the implied means before nodding and turning to Albus.
"Albus, are you well?" he looked up at Hogwarts and gave a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes "Ah, old Hogwarts, good to see her again, and I see you have some powerful students" Albus smiled serenely "I am fine old friend, and indeed, I apologise for Mr Potter and Mr Vermilion, they can't always keep their power in check, having that much power means complete control of your emotions and I know how hard that is".
Karkaroff gulped quietly before nodding "Shall we all go in then?" Albus and Maxime nodded, Harry and the Unity group decided to stay with Hagrid to help with the Abraxans, Ami stayed with them and winked at Albus who realised that they would be putting on a show, the rest of the students and teachers off all three countries began to head into Hogwarts when Ronald Weasley shouted, "THAT'S VICTOR KRUM!".
(Hogwarts-Great Hall)
The Durmstrang students walked into the Great Hall slamming poles onto the ground in a ritual style fashion as they were introduced, everyone clapped as it ended, Albus smiled "Thank you Durmstrang for that performance, now, the delegation from the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic". The girls all came in dancing and sighing dreamily, causing most of the boys to follow in example, this continued on for a few minutes with Maxime and the silvery Blonde girl leading the group until the made it to the front of the hall.
The hall burst into applause again until Albus raised his hand, everyone fell silent "Now, our Unity group has asked my permission to put on a show for our delegations, so without further a due, the Unity Group and Professor Ami Aiba-Potter" the doors flung open as a Patronus Phoenix and a Patronus creature that only the Mundaneborns could identify as the Future Predator flew into the room and circled the tables, from there the Unity Group came in firing off different spells to make up fireworks, Harry and Tekuya placed their Wands against their throats and blew out flames of different colours.
One set of Emerald Green and one set of dark purple flew into the air before merging to create a Dragon of fire, which roared before exploding into a Glowing Hogwarts Emblem, Ami waved her hands causing sparking dust to fly into the air before writing underneath the emblem Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus. The hall burst into applause and the other two delegations were in awe at the second display of power those two students had shown, Karkaroff sighed as he realised that he had been beaten by Hogwarts in the show.
As the groups were just starting to get settled, one of the Durmstrang students walked over to Severus "Severus Tobias Snape, by article 66 of the D.E, I ask if you have any Veritaserum on you?" Severus blinked before his eyes widened, he had his Wand out in a second before pointing it at the student, Karkaroff looked pissed off and Albus looked concerned "Severus, what?" Severus shook his head before turning to Karkaroff "Article 66 of D.E" Karkaroff paled before nodding.
The students smiled "I have a list of questions to be asked of me and I would ask that you don't stun me until all of them are answered, next I would also request that Hadrian James Potter and Neville Francis Longbottom did the questioning" Severus looked at Harry and Neville who looked at each other before nodding and standing, they walked over to the student who handed them a sheet of parchment, Severus then pulled out a bottle of Veritaserum and the student held out his tongue, Severus let three drops land on the students tongue and the students swallowed.
Harry watched the student's eyes glaze over before nodding at Neville, Neville looked at the sheet "What is your name?" the student looked at Neville "Bartimus Lestrange nee Crouch" Neville's eyes widened before Harry grabbed his arm, Harry looked at Neville "Not yet, we need information" Neville nodded and took deep breaths as he handed Harry the sheet, Harry looked at the questions "Why are you here?".
Barty turned to Harry "Two reasons, first I heard a rumour that Severus no longer had the Dark Mark and wanted to see if I could have it removed. The second is to warn you of the Dark Lord's plan" Harry nodded and grinned as Amelia Bones walked into the hall with two Aurors. He handed the sheet to Neville, who looked at the next question "How did you escape from Azkaban?" Barty turned back to Neville "My Mother was dying and took Polyjuice Potion to look like me so my Dad took me home Polyjuiced to look like my Mother and left her there".
Neville nodded and handed the sheet back to Harry, Harry looked at it before looking at Barty "Why did you say your name was Lestrange? not Crouch" Barty turned back to him "Rabastan and Bellatrix Lestrange were virtually my parents as my Father neglected me and hated me when I didn't fulfil his expectations, I ran away from home during my 4th year and started living with the Lestranges and Rabastan made me his heir".
Neville nodded and looked at the next question "Can the Dark Mark be taken unwillingly? Like the use of the Imperious Curse?" Barty shook his head "No, we were all given tasks or an understanding from the Dark Lord, Severus had to create a potion for him and he understood my hatred for my father so he accepted me into his ranks with a recommendation from Bella". Harry took the sheet from Neville "Was Sirius Black a Death Eater or Sympathiser?".
Barty again shook his head "No, Black was never a Death Eater, Peter Pettigrew on the other hand was and is a Death Eater, I saw him when the Dark Lord called me for a mission a few weeks ago". Neville took the sheet back as Amelia wrote that down, he paled and gulped at the next question "What were you doing at the Longbottom Manor the night you were captured?" Barty looked saddened "I and Rabastan didn't agree with the Dark lords methods but Bella pressured us to take the mark so we did, that night, Bella asked us to accompany her and Rudolph to Longbottom Manor".
He gulped as tears fell from his eyes "Bella had finally cracked under the strain of the Dark Lord's Cruciatus Curses and asked me and Rabastan to leave the room, we started playing with the young Longbottom whilst Bella and Rudolph tried to get the Longbottoms to join the Dark Lord, or at least that's what we thought. As we were changing his diaper, we heard Bella and Rudolph cast the Cruciatus, we quickly hid Neville in a closet and ran in to stop them when Moody bust down the door and stunned us all".
Neville had tears in his eyes as he handed Harry the sheet, Harry looked at it "What is the Dark Lord's plan?" Barty took a moment to get himself together "The Dark Lord asked me to Polyjuice myself as Alastor Moody and the jinx the Goblet of Fire so that Hadrian Potter's name would come out, I knew I couldn't beat Alastor Moody and decided that I wasn't going to help the Dark Lord, I instead pretended to be a Durmstrang student knowing that Severus would be here".
Barty Crouch Senior and Bagman walked in as Neville asked the next question "Why did none of this come out in your trail?" Barty sighed "Father didn't bother using Veritaserum in our trails, he just declared us all Death Eaters and locked us up in Azkaban like he did Hadrian's Godfather". Barty Crouch quickly moved towards the door only to be stunned by Amelia Bones, Harry took the sheet and looked at the last question "What did you hope to gain from doing this?".
Barty smiled sadly "I had hoped that I could have the Dark Mark removed and then I would have asked Severus if I could have a dose of his permanent De-Aging Potion so that I could try again from 14, so I didn't make the same mistakes again, I guess I just wanted a second chance to make things right and to make sure that Rabastan got the trail that he deserves". Harry turned to Neville "What do you think mate? Their your parents" Neville closed his eyes and thought on it for a few moments before raising his Wand.
He then looked at Severus "Potion Master Snape, does Veritaserum confirm insanity?" Severus nodded "it does" Neville turned to Barty "Bartimus Lestrange, are you insane?" Barty shook his head "No, I am not insane" Neville nodded before turning to Amelia "Do you have any Questions before I deliver my choice, Madam Bones?" She looked at Barty who had reverted to his actual form "Why did you run away from home?" Barty winced before answering.
"My Father had found out that I wasn't straight, so he started beating me, he probably would have killed me if my Mother hadn't stunned him, healed me and then told me to run" Amelia frowned and nodded as Harry shook with rage, Neville looked at Barty's sad but resigned expression before he decided "I Neville Francis Longbottom, Heir and Scion of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Longbottom, Demand that a trail be set for Rabastan Lestrange and that all charges against Bartimus Lestrange nee Crouch be dropped, so mote be it".
Barty's shocked expression at the flash of magic was enough to make Neville smile, Harry raised his Wand "I Hadrian James Potter, Lord of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Peverell, Heir of the Most Ancient, Noble and Powerful House of Gaia, Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble Houses of Potter and Black, do hereby stand by Neville Francis Longbottom, Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Longbottom, in his decision, so mote be it" another flash of magic indicated that Harry's claim was accepted.
Tekuya stood and raised his Wand "I Tekuya Zera Vermilion, Lord of the Most Ancient, Noble and Powerful Houses of Vermilion, Dragneel, Achnadin and Azarath, Heir of the Most Ancient, Noble and Powerful House of Darkness, do hereby stand by Neville Francis Longbottom, Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Longbottom, in his decision, so mote be it" another flash of magic indicated that Tekuya's claim was accepted.
Amelia nodded "I Amelia Circe Bones, Lady Apparent of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, do hereby drop all charges against Bartimus Lestrange, Heir of the Most Ancient House of Lestrange, so mote be it" magic flash indicating magic's acceptance. Barty had tears in his eyes as the Veritaserum wore off "Thank you" he exclaimed in a cracked and teary voice "If you can get Rabastan a trial along with Sirius Black, I would be forever in your debt".
Amelia nodded "I will try my best but Fudge will get in the way" Tekuya, Ami, Neville and Harry turned to her "If Minister Fudge tries anything, we will all testify under Veritaserum and submit memories for trial" Amelia nodded and sighed in relief "Thank you" before walking out with Crouch and her Aurors. Tekuya and Harry walked over to Barty "let's remove that Dark Mark" Barty smiled with tears of joy and relief flowing down his face, he tore off his sleeve and held out his arm.
Harry placed his hand over half of the Dark Mark "O lux, animas hominum perdere pravam abluere" Light started shining from his hand and attacking the Dark Mark which hissed at him. Tekuya then covered the second half of the Dark Mark "Praeteritum tenebras solvite pravam animi hominum abluere" Purple and Black energy flowed from his hand and merged with the light that was flowing from Harry, the two energies tore into the Dark Mark and caused it to disappear.
Barty looked at his clean arm in awe and shock "I'm free, I'm finally free" he looked up at the two "Thank you, thank you, I know I have no right to ask anything else of you but if Rabastan gets a trial" Tekuya and Harry grinned "We'll deal with his Dark Mark" Barty nodded before turning to Severus who nodded "I will start working on that potion for you as soon as possible Barty" Barty nodded "Thank you Severus" Severus nodded and Albus clapped "Thank you for showing that even Death Eaters can repent Barty".
