Draco: Hopefully this will be fun.

Barty: It sure will ferret. Thanks for my release by the way

LW: No problem! Enjoy

Hermione Bella Riddle – World Cup, Dark Mark and Lost Followers.

Riddle Manor

Snaky looked at the thing the great Tom Riddle had become on his transition to rebirth and sighed, he was lucky he still had some of that potion or they wouldn't even be this far but it was running out and he could barely remember it but as creator of the potion known by many as 'Insanitarium' he would have soon remember and they would continue to be on schedule. He was glad for the subliminal he'd placed on Wormtail before he left as who knows what the idiot would have done when he found Voldemort out there, so instead the spell instantly alerted him to the knowledge and location and apparated there. Voldemort's regeneration potion seemed to be a bulk of Unicorn blood and Nagini's venom along with several dangerous plants including Rack Weed. His potion and blood increased the potency of the potion and increased Voldemort's power to the point he could cast magic, though it greatly drained him as he'd seen when he killed that muggle eavesdropper but it was working for now and a plan was forming quite quickly.

Quidditch World Cup – Living Area (The place with the tents)

Hermione was enjoying herself, the time for the Cup had arrived and while she was never usually so enthusiastic about Quidditch his was something she wanted to see. Also she'd owled Ginny and found out her family and Harry would be there too which was a bonus as far as Hermione could tell. She was sharing her tent with Snaky, Serpentime who she hadn't seen since the chamber, Henry and Azulong who looked like a child in a sweet shop. The Malfoys would be on one side of their tent and the Parkinson's on the other. Their tent was shimmering navy and was charmed on the inside to be spacious (Hermione guessed her travel companions could fit here and still let in the Weasleys) as well as having a serpentine almost theme to it. Hermione loved it instantly. The silver trio met up with the Weasleys soon after along with Serpentime who didn't want to join Henry in 'watching over' (babysitting) Azulong. The twins and her started a long conversation which ended with them pointing out her companions A) the girl was too hyper and B) The guy needed to get laid, which she agreed completely too though when they proposed the idea of a super prank on the blond she told them off saying Henry was the kind that found things like that funny and 'it's too early in the year to start burying people' which got them to drop it.

A while later the kids started to head towards the stadium and found they were all in the Top Box. Snaky and the Malfoys were already there along with Fudge and the Bulgarian Minister while Snaky was scanning the area most likely looking to see if there was an Irish Minister. 2 seats away from him sat a very fidgety looking elf who looked to be muttering into thin air. Hermione sat down beside her godfather followed by Draco, Pansy then Serpentime sat by the pale Slytherin. Henry after ensuring Azulong didn't jump from their seats managed to drag her over and they sat between the elder Malfoys and Parkinsons. By then Snaky had given up and started a conversation with the elf Winky, the Quidditch didn't interest him and there wasn't anything else he could do.

Snaky: So Winky why's Barty here under the cloak?

Winky: You can see Master?

Snaky: Yes. I'm that good! But still answer the question.

Winky: Master Barty did a bad thing a long time ago, got locked in Azkaban. Then Master Crouch got young master out and Mistress died. Young Master's been under imprverius since he came back but Winky wanted young master to go outside for once and this was the best time. Young Master is uncursed and just has to keep the cloak on.

Snaky: Well BCJ (Barty Crouch Jr.) let me tell you if all goes well master will be back before this year is out. You'd like to see that wouldn't you?

Though no one but Snaky could see it the man under the cloak turned and looked into his eyes with hope and joy. Quickly he asked in a voice he knew only the snake could hear.

Barty: What can I do?

Snaky: We have a little 'event' happening after the match tonight, and once we're done I want you to cast the Mark into the sky. My Mark is unknown by all but the inner circle but flying it in the sky with his will show my side as well as give you guys some fun. I believe you'll need this.

With a flick of his wrist he produced a wand he'd 'borrowed' from someone during their conversation and subtly placed it under the cloak into Barty's hands. The man was honoured to receive such an important task. Soon the match ended with the Irish winning and Hermione noticed the prideful looks on both Snaky's and Serpentime's faces. Soon the lot of them returned to their tents and prepared for the upcoming events.

Later that night

Lucius: Once we begin I want you all to go and hide in the forest where it's safe and don't draw attention to yourselves.

Pansy: That's our big important thing, hide?

Paradox: Yes!

The 3 kids turned to Azulong now in her male form; his blond hair framing the mask he wore, the chaotic pattern matching their personality. He wore golden combat robes and his hands were clawed. Behind him Alucard was ready for the night; blood red cloak and under robes followed by crimson hat and tinted glasses covering the vampire's eyes. Serpentime had used their room to prepare and she was in her reptilian form with black scales that shimmered in the torches flame. Her twin clawed tails swished lazily and her slitted pupils looked murderous but playful (like Bella, Snaky, Azulong, Helios etc) and her midnight blue robes finished the attire, the 4 horns jutting from the side of her head (2 on each, pointing up) reminded all of her demonic heritage. Snaky was outside making sure everything would go smoothly, his black combat robes flumed out like Professor Snape's 'Batman' robes. He was here somewhere too. Hermione, Draco and Pansy ran into the forest after watching their parents burn the tents down for alibi's (As in if their tents were packed up and untouched either they were in it or at the very least they knew about it). Paradox burnt down a random wizard's tent with lightning and the chaos began.

The silver trio watched the Death Eaters destroy the place from the safety of the trees until they were met up by Harry, Ron and Ginny. Well they were alerted to them by Ron tripping on a root and landing on his face with a thud.

Draco: Well that was fun while it lasted. So Weasel where's your parents, off saving the muggles?

Ron: Where're yours, out there wearing masks?

Hermione: Boys! Settle down everything will be fine just shut up.

Ron: Hermione you sicken me, look what those monsters are doing out there and you say it'll be fine! How would you like to be flung around like a rag doll and flash your underwear to the spectators?

Pansy: Well we're here and these people just want chaos by the looks of things, nobodies dead and the muggles are being 'played with' so they're just sending a message.

? : MORSMORDRE! (I found the other reason for this spell. Might've been Tennent's accent but the spell sounds like 'Voldemort')

? : Rí Nathair Deamhanta! (Demonic Serpent King) (Close enough to the made up translation of Snaky's magical blade Serpentello of which his Order is named after)

The 6 of them turned in the direction of the voices and look into the sky. There were 2 shimmering forms in the sky; one was an emerald coloured skull with a serpent protruding from its mouth, flicking in the air. The other was a simpler design, 3 eyes the main 2 were slitted like a snake's and the 3rd was vertically placed between the others, all 3 were in blinding white outlines and crimson slits or iris. Draco, Pansy and Hermione managed to escape before the Ministry noticed and tried to stun/kill Harry and the Weasleys. When they arrived at the meeting point Azulong was already back to her female form and now they thought about it she was almost Veela alluring. Serpentime's horns were retracting painlessly into her head and her skin was becoming pale and human looking. Soon after Henry came in still mid transformation; his hair was lightening to blond again and his eyes were returning from crimson to slate grey. He was pulling along an unconscious and stunned Barty Crouch who they revived after laying him on the bed. Snaky appeared looking slightly sindged around the edges of his cloak.

Barty: Did it work? Where's Winky? Please tell me she's alright.

Henry: Yes it worked and she's fine. I severed her connection to your father when I saw you 2 getting stunned so now she's your elf alone. You know Snaky I've never understood why you have such a simple mark; it looks plain against the Dark Mark.

Snaky: It doesn't need to be complex as it symbolises me and if I used a fancy symbol like the Dark Mark people wouldn't interpret it as I wanted it to. The eyes are mine and that's the reason for my mark's existence.

Lucius: Well I think this went very well all things considered.

Snape: It's almost like the Dark Lord never fell with how well co-ordinated we were. Good work Snaky Tom would be proud.

Snaky: I know he would.

August 30th – Durmstrang

James walked into the shadow of the enormous school and took in its splendour. As the area was much larger in Norway than Britain and Durmstrang catered to the dark and Half-breeds of the region the castle was larger than Hogwarts by a large amount, though it was still as entrancing and historic looking as the other castle. Walking up the steps to the entrance Hall followed by Lucius and his guest he waited for people to take notice. When they didn't he decided to have some fun; grabbing his staff at the top just below the coiled snake head (As in the head of the staff, it's an entire snake) and slammed the end into the ground, magical shockwaves and feedback echoing through the castle and soon enough came the shuffling of Ex-Death Eater Igor Karkaroff and his school's favourite for Tri-wizard Champion Victor Krum.

James: Greetings Headmaster, I'm James and I'm here to bring you a special liaison for your school during its trip to Hogwarts for the tournament, as I will also be doing for Beauxbatons I just came to you first. Also Lucius is here for information from a while back.

Karkaroff: I was there! Ask Paradox, he was a psycho but a good chaos bringer.

James: I will be sure to check that but still here's your liaison Alucard!

Karkaroff: Thank you James.

Alucard stepped forward and bowed to the Headmaster, his clothes black robes and crimson trousers with a white belt. James bowed as well and turned to leave, he had another school to tend to the next day.

August 31st – Beauxbatons Academy, Headmistress' office

James once again found himself before a wizarding school head, this time the half-giantess Madame Maxine along with the school's hopeful the quarter Veela Fleur Delacour. He was grateful for the warmer weather in France than the previous school as it meant no need for fur robes. Now onto business

James: Thank you for allowing me into your wonderful school Headmistress, I'm here to introduce you to your liaison for your trip to Hogwarts this year. Paradox was adamant I let it go with you over Durmstrang who I've already gone to due to them starting slightly earlier than you.

Fleur: Thank you Monsieur, zis school vill be very grateful for your generosity and 'ospitality.

Maxine: Does Dumbly-dorr know of zis?

James: (Smiles) No, this is independent of Hogwarts and I'm sure it will go smoothly as I've already had it approved by Crouch and Bagman. Besides I will be there myself as a judge so I think I have the authority to do this. Faites-moi confiancesur ce point,s'il vous plait (trust me on this, please. In French of course)

Maxine: OK thank you Monsieur for your 'elp. Bring in your liaison.

Paradox entered the study, mask less revealing his delicate features. He was dressed in golden yellow robes and the attire was elegant and slightly feminine even his features were a little bit under scrutiny. He smiled to the 2 women as Snaky left, happy he'd left his best people to look after the Hogwarts rivals and help keep in fighting to a minimum. And for a change he had his name of something good.

TBC

LW: Well that things sorted out and ready to go. The next chapter will be in Hogwarts and I'm trying to remember if the movie just sort of jumped straight into the tournament or they had the lull then the foreign students and the cup like in the book. Oh well!

Azulong: I had fun and Fleur's cute.

Henry: Stay focused. See you all soon
