Violet's Story part 38

The next morning I awoke at daybreak and slowly dressed for the day ahead. I went to breakfast only to see that Severus was eating fast again. "Severus," I yawned, "why are you eating fast again?"
"For the same reason as last time. To get away from that idiot, so I'm leaving now."
"All right, but-" he had already gotten up and was rushing to the door. "Never mind then," I told myself. "My queen did wonderfully last night," a voice behind me said. "Get away Moody, and I told you not to-"
"Oh, I'm going to call you that because that's who you are. My queen came back last night, and I think we'll be seeing much more of her. Master will be very pleased."
"Don't tell me you're sending him owls?"
"No, he demands that I don't because if a I am caught..."
"He will punish you severely..." I said quietly.

"Where are you going?"
"Er- to Harry, yes to find Harry-"
"I think I'll go with you, I would like to talk to him myself," Moody said standing up. I gave him a murderous glare and he said, "Well, let's get a move on." We walked out the doors and I told him, "I don't want to go find Harry, I'm going to my room-"
"No, we must start your lesson."
"Not right now-"
"Yes, we will. Would you like to go discuss this with your father?"
"No, fine but, then I'm going to my room."
"I don't really care what you do after I see how powerful you are."
"You honestly think I'm going to use my full power?"
"You will, and I will see you-"

"Violet, there you are," George said while Fred walked on past us and into the Great Hall. "Are you going to talk to Fred yet?"
"Er, yeah I will. I'll see you later-"
"Violet, we must begin your lesson whether you like it or not."
"What are you teaching her?" George asked him. "Her father wants to know what she's capable of, magic wise."
"Oh, well, then will you talk to Fred, Violet?"
"No," I told him firmly. "But he really l-"
"I said no, now you go eat." George went into the Great Hall looking very displeased.

"Let's go, my queen," Moody said grabbing my arm. "Let go, I'm coming." He took me up to his classroom and told me to move everything out of the way. "Why don't I just burn it?" I asked him nastily. "Fine, but then you can conjure some more chairs and desks for it," he said calmly and smiled. I made everything in the room disappear, even the chair he was sitting in left so he could fall on the ground with a loud thump. I laughed and he quickly came over to me with his wand pointing at me. "If you ever pull something like that again, I will-"
"You'll what?" I asked now holding his wand in my hand. His eyes widened and he yelled, "Give that back, and stop all this nonsense."
"Fine." I gave it back, but I had made it so heavy that not even a giant could lift it. As soon as it touched his fingers he fell down with it. Laughing very hard, I took the curse off and he stood up ready to begin.

"All right, you've shown me you can do simple spells-"
"Can you perform them?"
"Of course I can. Look on the board, can you perform these spells?"
"Yes. Yes. Haven't tried, and yes."
"All right let me see them." These were not spells, but curses that I had practiced, well tried once and got it. "On you?"
"What? Of course not- on this," he said conjuring a spider. "I will enlarge it so I-" but I enlarged it myself, and performed the first curse on the list which was to turn a thing inside out. "Very good, next-" but I did all of them by the time he realized that I wasn't going to listen to him.

"All right, that's seems to be a bit on the easy side. Let's try this one. Right here in the book. It is a curse that very few can perform, and they have all died trying."
"I don't really want to die."
"Just do it," he said impatiently. I shrugged and looked at the book. I conjured fourteen more spiders enlarged them at the same time, and looked at the book again. I paused when I looked at the spiders. I was going to kill fifteen spiders who were the size of humans. I couldn't do it. "Would you hurry up?"
"No, I'm not going to perform the curse."
"Yes, you will, I need to know what you are capable of-"
"Then let's try something good," I told him sending the spiders back to where they were.

"Those are boring, unless..." he trailed off, an evil grin forming on his scarred face. "I challenge you to a duel," he said without taking the evil grin off his face. I smiled and said, "I accept. Only I will have to get my wand-"
"No need, no need, use your hands," he said rather calmly. "One."
"Two."
"Three." I put the Unbreakable spell around me and the Cruciatus curse, the one he performed, didn't hit me. "Unbelievable. I was right about you. Master will be very pleased to hear you know how to block strong curses."
"You will not tell him," I yelled at him. "Oh, and how are you going to stop me?"
"I will tell about you-"
"You do and you know that master will punish you before you could say 'I'm sorry'. Put the desks and chairs back, then get on to your first class." I did, and left very quickly.

History of Magic was very boring as usual and my quill took notes while I thought about a way to make Moody not tell Voldemort about the spell I had performed. Finally the bell rang and I still hadn't thought of anything. "Violet, we're going to talk to Professor Moody, come on," Harry told me. I went with him because I still did not trust Moody one bit, even though I knew he was going to hurt Harry sometime during the third task.

I decided to stay outside the classroom. I had enough of him that morning, and didn't feel like listening to him lie without me doing anything. Finally they came out and we headed to our next class. Ron and Hermione were arguing the whole way there and never stopped for anything, even though Harry and I tried to get them to.
The next morning, while talking to Severus, the owls came in and when I looked over to Harry he motioned me over to him. They had sent Sirius a letter, and he sent back a reply. Sirius was mad at Harry, and that was one thing I forgot about because of everything going on. "Harry! He's right, I should have yelled at you earlier. What do you think you are doing going off into the forest with no one to watch over you? Are you out of your mind?"
"Violet, calm down, will you. Nothing happened-"
"Harry, something could have, and I don't want to take that chance, you are the only one I have left-"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you ever, ever do that again. Write Sirius back right now, right now!"

I conjured up some parchment, a quill and he wrote back to Sirius. "Good, now I'm going to finish my breakfast. Later we will start on learning things for the third task." I left without giving them a chance to say anything to me. Once I got back to the table Severus asked what I was angry at. "Harry, he went of with Viktor when he knew someone was after him and he acts like nothing is going to happen."
"Well, can you blame him?"
"Yes, well, no. He doesn't exactly know what's going on, and he doesn't know who to trust, and he doesn't know what's at stake here. I just wish for one day I could have no worry's at all."
"Don't we all?"
"Yes, well, I'm going to class now."

Later in the week Harry started to get the Stunning Spell down. "Harry you've finally got it. Now all you need to do is make sure-"
"Violet, why don't you just turn invisible, go in with me, and take care of everything for me?" I thought for a moment. "I like that idea. The only person who could see me would be Moody, and my father can too, but he won't know-"
"I was joking, Violet."
"Oh, I know you were, it's just not that bad of-"
"No, I want to do this on my own."
"Well, I just hope you come out alive."
"I will," he said while stunning Ron again. The bell rang and Hermione went of to Arithmancy and we went to Divination.

The room was very hot, just as Harry and Ron were saying it would be. Harry sat by the window, Ron next to Him and I next to Ron. Trelawny went on and on about the planets, and the angles that they were in and what that meant. Ron then poked me and pointed to Harry. Harry had fallen asleep. "I don't blame him," I whispered in Ron's ear. Just them Harry was on the floor clutching his scar. "Harry!" I yelled. He woke up and started to get up shaking pretty badly. "Harry are you all right?" Ron and I asked at the same time. "Yeah," he said rather shakily. Harry walked off to the hospital wing and told Ron and I he'd see us later.

We went through the whole class waiting for the bell to ring so we could go see Harry. I wanted to know why Harry's scar was hurting because Sirius had told me over the summer that Harry's scar had hurt. Ron wanted to know if he was all right. We stayed up late into the night talking about what Harry had seen in the Pensieve. Harry had to explain it five times before we started to discuss the significance of it all.

"What I want to know is where Voldemort is and what Wormtail screwed up this time."
"Yeah, and how he could hold a wand."
"Well, he is getting stronger so he must be starting to form a body."
"I don't think so," Harry said. "Voldemort," Ron winced at the name, "is suppose to be nothing. Remember?"
"Yes, I remember that, but how else would he hold a wand?"
"I don't know," Harry said quietly. "Come on, it's getting very late, and Harry you need sleep. Good night Violet," Hermione said.
"Night guys, I'll see you in *yawn* in the morning."

Over the next week Harry got every spell down except for the Shield Charm which I showed Harry how to do only with my improved version. "I can't perform that one. I can barely get the Shield Spell done," Harry complained one day during lunch. "I'm just showing you. I know you can't do it."
"Hey, look at that," Ron said pointing down to the grounds where Malfoy was talking to something in his hand. "Maybe he's talking into a walkie-talkie," Harry said. "Those things don't work here, Harry. Come on, let's try that Shield Spell again," Hermione told him. I was busy watching Malfoy because I knew he wasn't up to any good. "I wonder what he's talking to?"
"Violet, would you just get over here and help?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming."

In the morning of the task I saw Malfoy pointing to Harry and making faces while waving the Daily Prophet in his hand. I magiked the paper over to me and read it while Malfoy was looking around the for the paper that had just disappeared from his hands. The Skeeter woman had found out about Harry's scar hurting, but how. She hadn't been there. I knew somehow that she had talked to Malfoy that day when he was talking into his hand. Hopefully Hermione would figure it out- but she then ran out of the Great Hall. Nothing seemed to be wrong, so I finished my breakfast.

Once I was done I went off to the Gryffindor table and went to class with Ron. Ron said, "Hermione said she needed two seconds in the library for something."
"What were you guys talking about before that?"
"Oh, Rita Skeeter."
"Maybe she knows how she's been finding out all of these things."
"I don't know, but maybe." Then we entered the classroom and could no longer talk about that subject.

At lunch I saw that Mrs. Weasley and Bill, who waved to me, were here as Harry's family. I wished that our parents were here and a tear came out of my eye. "Violet, what's wr-" but Severus stopped when he saw what I was looking at. "Look, there's nothing you can do about Harry," he said calmly. "It's not that Severus. I miss my parents, and I want to tell Harry so badly." Severus sighed, opened his mouth about to say something, but closed it. He just put his arm around me, hugged me, but no one could tell he was, and then began to eat.

At dinner I saw that Fudge and Bagman had joined us. I was very displeased to see Fudge because of the way he was acting. There were more courses for dinner than I could handle. I was very nervous and only had a bowl of salad and a glass of milk. Severus was quite nervous too, but not because something was going to happen to Harry, but because something was going to happen which involved Voldemort. Severus would look at me then Karkaroff then Dumbledore. Finally my father stood up and told the champions to go with Bagman to the stadium.

I watched Harry walk out the doors afraid that that was the last time I was going to see him. I had a strong urge to call him back inside, but then my father stood up and explained to everyone what would be going on and that we must be getting to the stadium for the final task. I stayed with my father to make sure that everyone was out of the Great Hall and walked to the stadium with him.

Once we were seated, I heard Bagman's voice give us the current points and sent the first two champions into the maze. The seat next to me was empty. Then the next champion went in, and finally all of the champions were in. I was extremely nervous and thinking only of Harry. Again, I noticed that the seat next to me was empty and I remembered that my father wanted Moody to sit there. Suspicion started to consume me.

"Father? I thought you said Moody was going to sit here?"
"He is," he said calmly looking down at the maze.
"Then where is he?"
"Hmmm, I don't know, but he'll show up eventually." I settled down for a few minutes, but still saw no sign of him. "Father, when did you see him last?"
"Let's see, I told Severus to take the cup into the maze, but then Moody offered to take it. I gave it to him and I haven't seen him since."
"Oh, okay." I thought about that. Why would Moody want the- but then it hit me.
