Thank you for all the reviews and adding my story to your favorites. Here's Chapter Twenty One! :)
Harry, Melissa, and Cedric appear back at the arena. The crowd has not yet realized what has happened and they begin to cheer as music starts to play. Fred, George, Ron, and Hermione rush down to see their friends but stop when they see them crying. Fleur takes a few steps forward and sees that Cedric is dead. She screams as Dumbledore and Fudge get to their feet and rush over as the music starts to die down.
"Harry! Melissa," Dumbledore yells as he rushes over to them. He knelt down in front of them and spoke. "Tell me what happened."
"He's back," Harry said in between sobs. "He's back! Voldemort's back!"
"Cedric," Melissa said as tears streamed down her face. "He asked us to bring back his body. We couldn't leave him. Not there."
"It's alright," Dumbledore assured the twins. "He's home, and so are you two."
"Keep everybody in their seats," Fudge said to McGonagall and Snape. "A boy has just been killed," the audience gasped as they watched Fudge walk back over to Dumbledore. "The body must be moved Dumbledore," Fudge told the headmaster. "There are too many people.
"Let me through," Amos Diggory shouted as he rushed out of the stands with Mr. Weasley close behind. They make their way over to Harry, Melissa, and Dumbledore and they see Cedric. "That's my boy," Amos said with tears in his eyes as he fell to his knees next to his son. "That's my son! My boy!"
Mad-Eye Moody walked up to Harry and Melissa and he pulled them to their feet.
"Come on get up," Mad-Eye told the twins. "Follow me," Mad-Eye told them as he dragged them away from the arena.
Mad-Eye leads the twins to the castle and to his office. They walk in and Mad-Eye shuts and locks the door behind them. Harry has calmed down a little but Melissa was still sobbing over everything that had happened. Mad-Eye pulled out two wooden stools and the twins sit down.
"Are you two alright," Mad-Eye asked them.
Harry and Melissa didn't answer they just nodded.
"Do your arms hurt," Mad-Eye asked as he looked at their injured arms.
"Not so much now," Harry told him.
"No not really," Melissa said as she wiped some tears away from her face.
"Perhaps I should take a look at them," Mad-Eye said as he examined Harry's arm.
"The cup was a portkey," Harry told Mad-Eye.
Mad-Eye looked up from his wounded arm and then he examined Melissa's.
"Someone had bewitched it," Melissa told him.
"What was it like," Mad-Eye asked them. "What was he like?"
"Who," Harry asked.
"The Dark Lord," Mad-Eye said. "What was it like to stand in his presence?"
"I dunno," Melissa said. "It was like falling into a bad dream."
"Into one of our nightmares," Harry added.
Mad-Eye turned his back on the twins as he started shaking and gasping for air. He pulled his flask out from his robes and he went to take a drink but it was empty. He went into another room and he opened a small box that contained bottles in it. He picked up a few of the bottles and saw that they were all empty.
"Where there others," Mad-Eye asked the twins. "In the graveyard, were there others?"
"Um," Harry started to say but realized that they hadn't mentioned anything about a graveyard. "I don't think we said anything about a graveyard Professor."
Mad-Eye came out of the room and he stared at the twins.
"Marvelous creatures dragons aren't they," Mad-Eye asked them. "Do you think that miserable oaf would have led you two into the woods if I hadn't suggested it," Mad-Eye asked as he started to search through cupboards. "Do you think Cedric Diggory would have told the two of you to hold the egg under water if I hadn't have told him first myself," Mad-Eye said as he closed the cupboard door and walked over to the frightened and confused twins. "Do you two think Neville Longbottom the witless wonder could have provided you two with gilliweed if I hadn't have given him the book that led you straight to it? Huh?!"
"It was you from the beginning," Melissa said as she and Harry watched Mad-Eye search through more cupboards. "You put our names in the Goblet of Fire. You bewitched Krum. But," Melissa started to say but Mad-Eye cut her off by making fun of the twins through fake sobs.
"You two won with a tie because I made it so," Mad-Eye said as he walked up to the twins. "You two ended up in the graveyard tonight because it was meant to be so. And now the deed is done," Mad-Eye said as he grabbed Harry's injured arm in one hand and Melissa's injured arm in the other. "The blood that runs through these veins runs within the Dark Lord," Mad-Eye let go of their arms and they winced in pain. He walked over to another cupboard and then he turned around to face them. "Imagine how he will award me," Mad-Eye started to say as he moved towards Harry and Melissa who got up from their stools and started to back away from him. "When he learns that I have once and for all silenced Harry and Melissa Potter," Mad-Eye shouted as he pulled out his wand from his robes and pointed it at the twins.
Before he could cast a spell at the twins, the door to the office bursts open and Dumbledore shouted the incantation "Expelliarmus." The spell collides with Mad-Eye knocking him off his feet and sending him backwards into a chair. Harry and Melissa watch and Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall enter the room. They rush up to Mad-Eye and Dumbledore grabs him by the neck and he points his wand at him.
"Severus," Dumbledore said as he turned to Snape.
Snape steps forward and pours a few drops of Veritaserum into Mad-Eye's mouth.
"Do you know who I am," Dumbledore asked as he kept his wand pointed at Mad-Eye.
"Albus Dumbledore," Mad-Eye told him in an angry voice.
"Are you Alastor Moody," Dumbledore asked. "Are ya?!"
"No," Mad-Eye growled.
"Is he in this room," Dumbledore asked in an angry voice. "Is he in this room?!
Mad-Eye didn't answer but he nods and he turned to a large chest that Harry and Melissa were standing next to.
"Harry! Melissa, get away from there," Dumbledore ordered them.
Harry and Melissa does as they are told and they stand behind Professor McGonagall. Snape points his wand at the chest and he opens it. When the lid of the chest opens several smaller chests open inside it. When the final chest opens, Dumbledore and Snape approach it and they see the real Mad-Eye Moody at the bottom of the chest.
"Are you alright Alastor," Dumbledore asked the man at the bottom of the chest.
"I'm sorry Albus," Moody said.
Harry, Melissa, and Professor McGonagall step forward to take a look in the chest.
"If that's Moody then who's," Harry started to ask but Snape opened one of the bottles in the room.
"Polyjuice Potion," Snape said as he closed the lid.
"Now we know who's been stealing it from your stores Severus," Dumbledore said.
Snape turned to Harry and Melissa and he glared at them.
"We'll get you up in a minute," Dumbledore assured the real Moody.
Moody groaned. The imposter Mad-Eye began to twitch and groan as he began to transform back to normal. He ripped off the magical eye and it fell to the floor. The transformation completed and everyone is shocked to see that it was Barty Crouch Jr.
Harry and Melissa took a few steps closer but Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly lashed at them. Dumbledore quickly pulls the twins away and he stares at the imposter.
"Barty Crouch Jr.," Dumbledore said.
"I'll show you mine if you show me yours," Barty Crouch Jr. said as he rolled up the sleeve of his left arm to reveal a snake and skull marking.
Dumbledore looked at the mark on his arm with wide eyes. He then turned to Harry and Melissa.
"Your arms," Dumbledore said as he took Harry's injured arm and Melissa's injured arm and he showed Barty Crouch Jr.
"You know what this means don't you," Barty Crouch Jr. asked with a smile on his face. "He's back. Lord Voldemort has returned."
"I'm sorry sir," Harry said.
"So am I," Melissa told her Headmaster.
"Send an owl to Azkaban," Dumbledore told McGonagall. "I think they'll find they're missing a prisoner."
"I'll be welcomed back like a hero," Barty Crouch told them.
"Perhaps," Dumbledore told Barty Crouch Jr. as he led Harry and Melissa to the door. "Personally I've never had much time for heroes."
With that said, Dumbledore, Harry, and Melissa left the room and Snape stayed behind to keep an eye on Barty Crouch Jr.
