Chapter 9: Where Is He?

Harry woke up to the sound of the door barging open. He looked up from Draco's comfortable arms and saw a group of men and woman with their wands out come into the room. One immediatly walked over to the two of them and pointed his wand out Harry. "Get up now."

Harry nodded before getting out of the bed with his night clothestwisted and wrinkled orund him. He set them as neat as he could as a man walked in with an emotionless face. "I'd like all of you to get dressed and then come out to the common room."

Everyone nodded then the man and most of the aurors walked out. Naruto looked at the disgruntled blonde in the bed and shrugged. He started getting dressed as whispers were heard around the room. "What do you think they want?"

Draco shrugged as he slipped his pants on. "Maybe a meeting for something."

Harry nodded as he slipped a red sweater then walked out with Blaise and Draco behind him. The brunette took a breath before walking out the door to find the room with aurors. The same emotionless amn nodded to the two and motioned for them to come. "Good for you to join us. Sit in a chair so we can ask all you something."

The trio sat in between Pansy and Millicent before the man started. "Okay, first off, sorry potter for the accusations made. Second of all," He started before Harry could start asking questions. "We want to know where a man with black hair is. He kind of has a twitch where he would lick his lips."

Harry looked at Draco and Blaise and saw them pale. "Do you know who it is?"

Blaise looked at Draco as he cleared his throat. "Well...yes. We know the man who could do that. His name was Bartemius Crouch Jr. who is the son of Bartemius Crouch Sr."

Harry looked at the Auror who asked the question. "Why would he be here?"

"Supposedly, you, Harry. Barty was last known to be affiliated with Voldemort." Blaise whispered to Harry as the auror looked at the group.

"Do you know who I am talking about?" the man asked as he walked to them.

Blaise nodded. "Yes, sir. Who you are talking about is Bartemius Crouch Jr."

The auror smiled. "Well, have you seen him?"

Harry thought for a second. "Wait, where's Alastor Moody at?"

The auror stood for a second before storming away. "Let's go!"

Harry looked at Draco and Blaise before following the man. The trio silently followed the aurors to a door. The group of aurors took out their wands and burst into the room. There was a few seconds before the group came back out with an angered auror leader. "Dammit! He isn't in here! Check this room! Search through everything! I want to know where Barty is and if Alastor is alive!"

The group of aurors nodded before going into the room. The leader turned around and headed towards the staircases, disappearing from sight. Harry looked at the other two. "This Barty Crouch must be pretty dangerous for those guys to be worried."

Draco nodded. "Yeah. Barty was convicted of murdering people but somehow got away."

Blaise whistled slightly. "And from Azkaban too."

Draco shrugged as he turned around to head back to the common rooms. Harry followed too, grabbing the blondes hand.


Dumbledore sighed as he rubbed his temples. "Damn, I hope Barty doesn't to anything Potter. James would be devestated."

Snape grunted, not caring what James felt but how Lily would feel instead. "I just hope we can find that idiot. I don't feel like having Lily's anger be the first I see when I die."

Lucius scoffed before shaking his head. "You two are all wuss'. Even when that woman can be so scary, you are all okay to admit it. Where is your pride?"

Snape shrugged. "Tell me that when you feel her wrath."

Dumbledore smiled before hearing a knock at the door. "Come in."

The same auror who was at the Slytherin common room walked through the door and stopped before everyone. "I came to report that we know how Bartemius got into Hogwarts undetected. He was acting as Alastor Moody and got close to Mr. Potter to make sure that the boy got into the Tournements." He waited for a second before continuing. "We think that he is hiding long enough until an opening opens to leave."

Dumbledore sighed as he rubbed his eyes. "Okay, good work. Now find him before something happens to the students."

The man nodded before leaving the room to the three. Snape groaned as he stood up. "I think I know where he would be hiding."

Dumbledore tilted his head as Lucius smirked. "That bloody tree, huh?"

Snape nodded as he left the room. Lucius smiled to the Headmaster before leaving to catch up to the man. Dumbledore sighed when he was left alone. "I can only hope for the best and eat my lemon drops."

He took one and smiled as he sucked on the treat.


Snape grabbed his wand from his coat as he neared the large bare tree that seemed to move. Lucius stopped next to his friend. "Do you remember how to get in?"

Snape nodded before running straight for the hole under the tree. Lucius followed him and jumped out of the way of branches trying to crush them. "Now I remember how much I hate this damn tree."

Snape chuckled before jumping into the hole. He sighed as he got to his feet, Lucius doing the same. The two of them walked forward and up the staircases until the heard a couple voices.

"...and that boy! He has done his part, now let's kill him!" said one of the voices that were female.

"No! We will do no such thing until Lord Voldemort tells we can." The voice of Barty Crouch answered.

A groan could be heard. "Why do we need to wait for him! He would reward us for ending that boys life!" Said the female.

"I said no, Bellatrix! Now be the bad girl you portray yourself as and get Lucius to meet us. Say it is urgent and Lord Voldemort says so." Bartemius said.

Lucius sighed and walked in front of Snape as he walked to the door on top of the stairs. "I'm already here, you bloody git."

Bartemius looked at the blonde man and Snape before scowling. "Why's he here?"

Lucius looked back. "Well, he is a spy for Lord Voldemort."

Bellatrix xmiled wickedly as she looked at the two. "Good to see you, Lucius. How is Narcissa?"

Lucius shrugged. "Better. Now what is so urgent?"

Bartemius licked his lips like a snake before smiling wickedly too. "We want Potter to be sedated for us to take."

Lucius knew that they were going to say this and sighed. "Fine. What's it in for me?"

Bartemius growled before pointing his wand. "You won't die."

Snape was hesitant about all that was going on but let it go as he saw Lucius smile. "Okay, okay. I will sedate the boy and bring him here."

"I'm here already." A voice called out before a blue light was casted from the door.

The spell hit Bartemius' wand as he looked in the direction of the noise. He saw Blaise, Draco, Pansy, and Harry standing there with their wands out at them. Bellatrix growled as she was going to cast a spell on the brats but when she lifted her hand, she was met with a wand to her neck.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Snape gritted out in anger at the womans stupidity for trying to cast a spell on his godchild.

Bellatrix cursed before lowering her arm to the ground. "Fuck you, Snape!"

Snape shrugged as he took the womans wand off of her hand. He kept his hand up as aurors ran into the room. The leader was in front of them and shocked to see Bellatrix there too. "Wow, we got two birds with one stone. Marvelous!"

After a few minutes, the aurors had taken Belltrix and Bartemius away, to Azkaban. The leader was in front of the group and smiled. "Thank you for getting Barty and Bellatrix. Now, I wonder where the real Alastor Moody is?"

"IN HERE YOU BLOODY GITS!" Yelled Alastor from in the open chest that laid on the far side of the room.

Harry walked over and looked into the trunk to see an angered man cupping his right eye. Harry looked back at the auror and pointed down. "Found him."

The auror walked over and nodded before calling down into the chest. "Hold on Alastor. We'll get you out soon."

"Sooner would be good!" Yelled the man from the bottom of the chest before he sighed.

Harrylooked at Draco and smiled. "That was fun."

Draco smiled back before grabbing Harry's arm and walking him out of the tree. "Sure, it was. Now let's go and get something to eat."

Harry chuckled as he held onto Draco's arm.


Harry sat at the Slytherin table, in his usual seet with Draco on his left and Blaise on his right. Blaise smiled as he bragged to the other students about how they took on two of Voldemorts followers. Draco inored the other boy as he held onto Harr's waist. "You okay? You haven't eaten."

Harry shrugged as he looked at the blonde. "I'm okay. I just can't believe that I've been a wizard and, yet I know little spells, was able to knock Bartemius' wand out of his hand."

Draco smiled as he took a bite of his cooked goose. "You are a Slytherin for a reason. Now enjoy the goose. It is good."

Dumbledore stood up and smiled as he looked around the Hall. "Congratualations, Slyhterins, for winning the Tournement. Now, we are throwing a party for such an occasion. But to those who think that you are getting drunk, good luck because we are putting teachers and some aurors around the school to watch you. So, have fun all day."

With that he sat down and started to talk to Lucius. Harry heard Draco groan and smiled. "You wouldn't be able to drink even if it was allowed."

Draco shook his head. "I would too."

Naruto smirked and looked at the blonde. "Oh, you woould, would you? So booze is worth it to feel my wrath?"

Draco was going to retort but paled when he heard the wrath part. "N-no."

Harry smiled as he took another bite of the goose. Blaise heard everything and smiled as he made a whipping sound and flicked his hand forword. Harry laughed as Draco scowled. "Who's side are you on, anyway?"

Blaise smiled and pointed at Harry. "He is too scary to oppose."

Harry smiled wider and nodded at Blaise. "Thank you, Blaise."

Draco scowled as he pinched Harry's right side lightly. Harry jumped up and glared at the smiling blonde. "You are going to regret that."

Draco looked at the straight faced brunette and shrugged. How much could he do, anyway?

Fifteen Minutes Later

Harry sat in the Hall reading a book from the library about curses. Draco and Blaise had long gone off to get some butterbear and firewhiskey. Then, when things could have been beter, Pansy jumped onto his lap and hugged him. "Harry, I can't find Viktor anywhere! Please help me find him!"

Harry sighed and nodded. "Sure, where do you think he is?"

Pansy thought for a second before snapping her fingers. "He likes to go on walks at the lake!"

Harry nodded as he was dragged out the Hall towards the outside. They walked for a while until they were at the lake and saw something that broke Pansy's heart. Viktor was there, but he was kissing a ginger girl. Pansy shook with shock at Viktor and anger at the ginger.

Harry saw this and sighed. "Pansy, he's no good for you."

Pansy ignored the brunette and walked towards the two, gaining Viktor's attention. The ginger turned around and revealed herself to be the Gryffindor half-blood. Pansy shook with such and that she was stomping her way and her magic was lashing out, not affecting Harry as he walked close behind the girl.

Viktor shook his hands at the approaching girl. "I-it isn't what it looks like."

Pansy stopped a couple feet from the two as she stared at the man. "Then what is it?!"

Viktor stuttered as he tried to form an excuse. Harry saw this and sighed. "Just tell the truth and we'll leave."

The ginger smiled and put her hands on her hips. "Aw, did I take your boyfriend away? Poor Slytherin who-"

Just then, Pansy's fist contacted with te girls cheek. "Shut the bloody hell up, Granger!"

Viktor froze as he saw the girl's raw strength. "I-I'm sorry, Pansy. I really am."

Pansy looked at the man as she still had the anger in her. "I will not except it! Now don't come near me ever again or I will curse you!"

As Pansy tried walking away, Viktor tried to grab the girl's arm, forgetting Harry was there. As he made contact with Pansy's arm, making her scream, Harry immediately kicked the man in his groin then face. "Don't ever hurt her! You missed out on the best relationship that you could ever have! Now, if you ever do that again, I will curse you and it won't be mercifully!"

Viktor gripped his jaw as the other two walked away. Pansy started crying, making Harry grab her into a warming hug. "Shh, don't cry for a man like that. He doesn't deserve a smart, strong, devious girl like you. Now please stop crying or Viktor will get two more angry boy's after him."

Pansy smiled as she sniffed, Harry wiping her leftover tears with his robes. She chuckled at how Draco and Blaise used to act when she was hurt by a boy. "You're right. Let's go."


Hoped you enjoyed it. Bye.
