"Cornelius!" shouted a voice from beyond doors of the room, interrupting Harry from a peaceful slumber.
"Executing Crouch Jr. was not the way, he could have had valuable information on Voldemort," Said the voice, now recognized as Dumbledore.
"Bah, what good would such a thing be about a madman fourteen, years dead?" Asked Fudge
"That's just it Cornelius, he's back, Voldemort is back!" Exclaimed Dumbledore
"Enough! How can you think such a thing is beyond me, yes three very traumatized, and injured students say he has returned, but dead men don't just come back Albus. They were just terrified at whatever happened to poor Mr. Diggory, but claiming he has returned after so long is ludicrous." Said Fudge
"Now if you excuse me, I need to congratulate the champions." Said Fudge opening the door to the Hospital Wing of the school.
The various beds were filled with Cedric's still body, Viktor who was now awake due to Dumbledore and Fudge yelling outside the room. Then on the other side of the room, an enlarged bed that had the nameplate of 'Potter' was filled with Harry, Fleur, and Gabrielle with Fleur and Gabrielle both clung to Harry's side but awake now.
"Hello, champions it is my esteemed pleasure to congratulate you all on your victory for the Triwizard tournament. I must say though we weren't expecting a four-way tie but nerveless we have divided the prize money and each of you will receive your portion." Fudge then handed each champion a small sack each contained twenty-five hundred Galleons placing Cedric's on his nightstand. "The victory ceremony will be held later this week before both of the other schools leave, now a good day to you all." Fudge then left through the Hospital Wing doors passing Dumbledore who was outside.
Dumbledore then entered not quite as upbeat as he normally was and an absence of a twinkle in his eyes. "Good morning Harry, Miss. Delacours, Mr. Krum" Dumbledore then turned his eyes to Cedric before turning way to look at Harry. "Harry I know you and your fellow champions have been through quite the ordeal but if I may ask, if you, Fleur, and Viktor would be willing to come to my office later today and provide an explanation as to what happened?"
"Yes sir, I think we can manage that," Harry then turned to Fleur who nodded then Victor who nodded as well.
"Splendid, the password is this delightful Muggle candy I recently learned of called 'Nerds'" Said Dumbledore "Before I forget, the ceremony will be held in three days, it seemed that Dumbledore had more to say but was shoved out of the wing by Poppy."
"Alright, now that all the ruckus has died down let's get a good look at each of you, Krum, you're first." Said Poppy
"one zing madame, I would like to ask about Cedric." Said Fleur
Poppy gave out a long sigh "Cedric right now is a magically self-induced coma. from what I can tell so far is that number of spells hit Cedric all at once, canceling their effects all at the same time but overloading Cedric's system."
"But he will wake up right?" Asked Harry
"That is… a bit harder to answer, when this something like this happened to someone they can wake up in a few days, Others….. don't" Said Poppy
Poppy then looked over each detail of the others looking for any injury that was missed last night. Before heading back into her office.
"He is truly back" Said Krum still sitting in his bed.
"Unless last night we all had was one bad hallucination or dream, but I don't think so," said Harry.
"Looks like war is coming." Said Krum
"I'm sorry to say it's already here." Said Harry "But do any of you know what happened last night? It looked like ghosts or something."
Krum shrugged while Fleur had a finger on the side of her forehead with her eyes closed.
"Fleur?" Said Harry
"I may know if I recall it was an event called Priori Incantatem, it is a rare manifestation of the reverse spell it happens when twin wands battle, then the weaker wand casts spells in reverse order." Said Fleur
"Alright that explains what happened but what about the ghosts?" Asked Harry
"Zat I do not know per'aps Dumbledore will know more." Said Fleur
then with a huff, Gabrielle forced Harry back to the bed then pounced over his chest.
"Enoug' talk more cuddling." Said Gabrielle. Causing Harry and Fleur to chuckle. While Krum shook his head muttering something that sounded like "lucky bastard"
Harry relaxed placing one hand behind Fleur as she snuggled closer to Harry's side and he placed one hand over Gabrielle with her over his chest.
Harry, Fleur, and Gabrielle stayed like this for a while enjoying being as close as they are to each other while Krum went back to sleep. After a few hours, another came in a Slytherin by the name of Tracey Davis who was escorted by Daphne Greengrass.
Pomfrey looked over Davis before muttering some instruction to the girl and headed back toward her office while Daphne walked over to Harry, Fleur, and Gabrielle.
"Hello, again Potter," Daphne gave a nod toward Fleur and Gabrielle "Delacours, it would seem your back here again like every year."
"At least some things never change," Said Harry
"Quite, though let's get straight to business, has Voldemort returned?" Asked Daphne
Harry looked her straight into the eye "Yes, he has come back,"
Daphne fell into the nearby chair of his bedside a little bit of color drained from her face. "Those idiots were saying as such, but I hoped they were just full of bluster as they normally were," muttered Daphne
Daphne turned to Harry "So Potter, Have you thought about our proposal?"
"I have, as much as would like to agree I need an assurance or something on good faith first." Said Harry.
"Name it Potter and we'll consider it."
"I want the names of this group of yours, any information you can give me on what Voldemort is doing, and finally, I'd like to meet all of your group face to face" Said Harry.
"The first I can probably convince the others of, for the second we already planned on." Said Daphne "It was an agreement for our group that if you agreed, we'd give you information on our death eater parents and others, for the third that will have to wait until next year, for now, though we need to return to our common room, Goodbye Potter, Delacours."
Daphne walked out the doors followed by Tracy who looked back and gave a wink toward Harry.
"'Arry, w'o were zey?" Asked Fleur
"A possible ally" Said Harry he proceeded to explain how he knew Daphne Greengrass
over the course of the day, others strode in, Susan Bones, who offered her congratulations while looking over Cedric sadly.
"Go talk to him" Said Harry
"What?" Asked Susan
"I said talk to him"
"Why it's not like he would hear me," Said, Susan
"Perhaps, perhaps not, but if anything it will help you" Said Harry
Susan looked between the door and Cedric taking a deep breath Susan walked over to the chair by Cedric's bed and started to talk with his still form. Leaving a while after and thanking Harry for his advice.
After Harry began to wonder where Padfoot and Remus were. But was interrupted by Cho and Luna walking in.
"Hello, Harry Potter," Said Luna
"Hi Harry," Said Cho
"We wanted to congratulate you completing the Tri-wizard tournament." Said Cho
Luna stood to the side humming and rocking on her toes. Luna leaned over to Cho's ear and whispered something, Cho then calmly walked over to Cedric and began to talk to him similar to how Susan did.
"Harry wanted to give you this," Luna then handed Harry a Butterbeer cork necklace very similar to the one Luna had around her neck at the moment. "It's used to keep the Nargles away"
Harry looked over the cork of the necklace to see that it was etched with various symbols and seemed charmed.
"Um… thanks, Luna... ill be sure to keep it with me." Said Harry.
Luna then skipped over to Cho who looked to be wiping something from her eyes they said goodbye to everyone then left. The wing was visited by a number of students from the three schools throughout the day but left just as quickly, the parents of Viktor visited as well, followed by Jean and Apolline when they left.
Fleur sat up and stood from the bed to give her mother and father a hug.
"What took so long to visit?" asked Fleur
"We had some business to take care of with Dumbledore" replied Jean
Fleur turned her head to the side "What did you need to talk to him about."
"Later, we better change to English before Harry here thinks we are ignoring him." Said Apolline
"How are your injuries Harry?" Asked Jean
Harry gave a casual shrug "I'll live"
"so what happens now," Asked Harry
"In regards to what" Asked Jean
"Voldemort"
"That…. is a difficult question, on one hand the French government has already seen movement of some of the darker groups and are preparing to act, on the other, the British government has made no claim he has returned, or made any note of any of his previous groups doing anything out of the ordinary." Said Jean
"So we're on our own in this" Said Harry "Great what else could go wrong"
"for now though, I recommend that you all go and see Dumbledore perhaps that will cheer you all up" Said Jean
Before Harry could ask, Jean and Apolline were already hugging Fleur and Gabrielle saying that they would see them when they picked them up.
Seeing it was getting late Viktor, Fleur, Harry and Gabrielle all walked up toward the Headmaster's office then gave the password and rode the stairs up.
Before they knocked on the wooden door they heard "Come in"
opening the door they saw Dumbledore behind his desk with McGonagall to one side and Remus to the other with Padfoot by his side.
Padfoot then ran down to Harry and jumped up using his front paws on Harry to look up. Harry then began scratching Padfoot's ears "It's good to see you too Padfoot," said Harry.
Dumbledore gave a soft chuckle "As happy about seeing Padfoot as you are Harry, I'm afraid we can't put this off any longer."
Harry took the center chair in front of Dumbledore's desk with Krum to his left and Fleur to his right and Gabrielle standing to the right of Fleur, while Padfoot lied down on the floor between Harry and Fleur.
"Now I need you all to tell me with as much detail as you can provide, what exactly happened last night." Said Dumbledore
So the three told what had happened, about the maze being too easy for Harry, the cup but that was where things became different. Harry said that he woke up as Wormtail began the ritual but Fleur, Krum, and Cedric woke up quite a bit earlier. Harry explained what he saw while asking about the golden cage but Dumbledore said he would explain more when they were finished.
"Miss. Delacour can you please tell us what happened when you woke up?" Asked Dumbledore
"Oui, ze man named Lucius Malfoy was mixing potions in a cauldron, zere were quite a few it looked like most were medical or similar, ze other, a large man, feral, white color fraying down 'is back..." Said Fleur
"Greyback" Growled Remus
"Who?" Said Harry
"Fenrir Greyback, a monster in every sense of the word, he has made it his mission to turn wizards into werewolves." Said Remus
"Then why is he working with Voldemort?" Asked Harry
"It would be the same reason as the first war, that in exchange for his services Voldemort gives Grayback children for him to turn." Said Dumbledore
"Monster" whispered Fleur stretched her arm around Gabrielle.
"Quite but if you would please continue Miss. Delacour." Said Dumbledore
"Grayback was digging at the grave by 'arry, boz of zem hid back into ze crypt, ze rest is ze same as 'arry described." Said Fleur
"Mr. Krum would you please tell us what you saw." Said Dumbledore
Krum then explained much of the same but in fewer words.
"Thank you, now in regards to the cage it was an effect of Priori Incantatem," Dumbledore looked at the faces of the group "From the look on your faces you seem to already know of this, in regards to the figures you all saw they were most likely remnants of those Voldemort has killed." Said Dumbledore
"But Dumbledore one of zem talked to me," Said Fleur,
"Be that as it may a remnant none the less it contained all the emotions and memories of their living counterpart perhaps through magic and the connection between Harry and Voldemort knew more, but they could never return alive again." Said Dumbledore.
"Now that that is finished Mr. Krum if you could, would you please return to the Hospital wing Poppy wants to keep you all there one more night," Said Dumbledore Krum nodded then left.
"I think I'll go with him make sure he gets back without any issue" Said Remus, then left as well
"Alright Sirius, it would seem you can come out now," Said Harry
Padfoot left where he was lying then transformed to Sirius, Sirius stretched a little before turning to Harry, then enveloping in a hug. "I'm so proud of you pup, you got everyone back alive." Said Sirius
"Still, could have done better," Muttered Harry
"What are you saying pup there are only about three people in the world that could have faced Voldemort as you did, and two are in the room right now." Said Sirius
"For now, if you'd excuse me I need to talk to your girls here for a moment," Said Sirius he walked outside the room with Fleur and Gabrielle who both gave Harry a small peck on the cheek.
Dumbledore chuckled a little at the display. "Ah, the boundless energy of youth"
"Now Harry a moment if you will right now I have a proposal for you." Said Dumbledore
"Yes sir, what do you need?" Asked Harry
Dumbledore then produced a piece of Paper,
Hogwarts Club admission Form
Date
Club Name: Defence Association
Club sponsor: Fleur Delacour
Club leader: Harry Potter
Headmaster's Signature
"Sir, What is this?" Asked Harry
"With Voldemort back, I figured you would need to gather more experience, one's number of spells can only do so much what you need Harry is the experience so if you are so inclined I drafted this, A DADA club form." Said Dumbledore
"Sir, wouldn't it be better to be taught by one of you, or some professional, and what's with Fleur here she doesn't teach here." Said Harry
"Harry, there is only so much we could teach you and with how well you seem to be able to adapt to every situation you would quickly overcome each of us, with this a new situation every day facing your fellow students, the reason we would be unable is due to our regular classes and this war, I'm afraid we would be unable to give you the proper tutelage you need, that is not to say we will provide you with proper training where we can. As for Fleur let's wait for when your fiances come back." Said Dumbledore
Harry felt hot at the mention of Fleur and Gabrielle being his fiances, Harry petted Fawkes waiting for Fleur, Gabrielle, and Sirius to return.
"I need to think about it sir," Said Harry
"It's not a problem you'll have the beginning of next year to decide." Said Dumbledore
Curious Harry felt the bond between Fleur and Gabrielle, all he felt with both of them was joy and happiness. The door opened with Fleur entering first followed by Gabrielle then Sirius.
"Now that we have reconvened, Fleur would you still be willing to accept the apprentice charms position,"
"Oui, it would be a good experience," Said Fleur
"Very well then, I'll speak with McGonagall and have you join the next year, Welcome to Hogwarts Miss. Fleur Delacour" Said Dumbledore, Dumbledore then reached out with his hand and shook Fleur's.
"Merci, Dumbledore"
"Yes and Gabrielle Delacour your transfer Papers are ready all that is needed now is to submit them to Beauxbatons and welcome to Hogwarts." Said Dumbledore and shook her hand as well.
"Wait, Apprentice, Transfer, I can't let you do this for me." Said Harry
"Too late 'arry, we already 'ave and we were not going to wait a year to see you," Said Gabrielle
"I'd just accept it if I were you pup, you ain't going to win this one" Said Sirius
Harry gave a sigh "Alright, you win"
"One last thing, in regards to your stay in France I have discussed with it Mr and Mrs. Delacour and I am having a qualified individual come with you." Said Dumbledore
"Who is this person?" Asked Harry
"Young Nymphadora Tonks." Said Dumbledore
"My cousin?" Asked Sirius
"The same" Confirmed Dumbledore
"Now I think it best we all retire for the night" Said Dumbledore
with each saying goodnight to another Harry, Fleur, Gabrielle and Sirius as Padfoot went back to Hospital wing, then after meeting the Weasleys, with Hermione and Eve everyone retired for the night.
Done hope you enjoyed here is an extra small something.
Also to tell ya a story has come out for Arnold DeVillena it is called "Harry Potter and The Marriage(s) of a Lifetime" a bit different than a lot of stories I've read but a good kind.
Omake
After Sirius led the girls outside the door
"So now that heavy part of the conversation is over I have a request for you two." Said Sirius
"Yes, Monsieur Black." Said Fleur
"Under your bed in the Hospital wing I have left two, outfits," Said Sirius.
"And what Monsieur Black are zese outfits?" Asked Fleur narrowing her eyes
Sirius gulped what he was about to say would get him slapped or worse and he knew it. "Nurse outfits," Sirius said
Sirius shut his eyes waiting for anything but after nothing came he dared to open this to see Fleur standing there blushing.
"Zat is good, but we already prepared zat for 'arry." Said Fleur
Sirius looked at both Fleur and Gabrielle in shock but a grin only Sirius could have soon formed.
