Chapter 23: The real Professor Moody

Harry's POV:

When we got to Professor Moody's office, Professor Moody sat me down. I was still upset about Cedric and my daughter who is missing. I clutched my hand in pain and I sobbed quietly. "You all right, Potter?" Professor Moody asked me. I nodded slowly. "Does it hurt? That?" He asked. "Not so much now," I answered. "Perhaps I'd better take a look at it." Professor Moody said. Professor Moody took a look at the cut on my arm.

"The cup was a portkey. Someone had bewitched it." I said. "What was it like? What was he like?" Professor Moody asked. "Who?" I said, confused as to what he was asking me. "The Dark Lord." He said. I cried out in pain when he tightened his grip on my arm. "What was it like to stand in his presence?" He said. "I don't know. It was like I'd fallen into one of my dreams; into one of my nightmares." I said.

Professor Moody took a sip of his drink but he was not looking too good. Something was wrong. He was gasping as he was looking for a drink. "Were there others? In the graveyard — were there others?" Professor Moody said. "I...I don't...I don't think I said anything about a graveyard, Professor." I said. Professor Moody looked at me creepily. "Marvelous creatures, dragon's aren't they? Do you think that miserable oaf would've led you into the woods if I hadn't suggested it? Think Cedric Diggory would've told you to open the egg underwater if I hadn't told him first myself?" Professor Moody said.

I am still confused as to what he was talking about. "Did you think Neville Longbottom, the witless wonder, could've provided you with Gillyweed if I hadn't given him the book to led him straight to it? Huh?!" Professor Moody yelled in my face.

"It was you from the beginning. You put mine and my daughter's name in the goblet of fire. You bewitched Krum but you..." I started. "You won because I made it so, Potter. You and Lana ended up in the graveyard tonight and Lana got captured by the Dark Lord because it was meant to be so. And now the deed is done. The blood that runs through your veins runs within the Dark Lord." Professor Moody said. I was angry that Professor Moody put Lana and my name in the goblet on purpose and he forced me into the graveyard and got Lana captured.

"Imagin how he will reward me when he learns that I have once and for all...Silenced the great Harry Potter." Professor Moody said. As he was about to attack me, Professor Dumbledore rushed inside. "Expelliarmus!" He shouted. Professor Moody was pushed into the wall. Professor Dumbledore grabbed Professor Moody. "Severus," Professor Dumbledore said. Professor Snape went up to them and forced some potion down Professor Moody's throat.

"That's it, take it." Professor Dumbledore said. Professor McGonagall had come into the room. "Do you know who I am?" Professor Dumbledore said. "Albus Dumbledore." Professor Moody said. "Are you Alastor Moody?" Professor Dumbledore said. "No." Professor Moody said. "Is he in this room?" Professor Dumbledore said. "Is he in this room?!" Professor Dumbledore yelled. He nodded. "Harry, away from here!" Professor Dumbledore shouted. Professor McGonagall patted me on the shoulder as I walked away from the chest. Professor Dumbledore opened the chest to reveal the real Professor Moody who was trapped inside the chest.

"You all right, Alastor?" Professor Dumbledore said. "I'm sorry, Albus." Professor Moody said. "That's Moody, but who's...?" Professor Dumbledore said. Professor Snape sniffed the bottle. "Pollyjuice potion." Professor Snape said. "Now we know who's been stealing from your stores, Severus. We'll get you up in a minute." Professor Dumbledore said to Professor Moody. We looked at the fake Professor Moody who was transforming out of his form.

I looked closer at the man's true form. "Harry!" Professor Dumbledore yelled as he pushed me back. Professor Dumbledore pointed his wand at the man. "Barty Crouch Junior." Professor Dumbledore said. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours," Junior said. Junior lifted his arm up to reveal the mark of the Dark Lord. "Your arm, Harry." Professor Dumbledore said as he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to Junior. "You know what this means, don't you? He's back. Lord Voldemort has returned." Junior said.

"I'm sorry, sir, I couldn't help it." I said. "Send an owl to Azkaban. I think they'll find they're a missing prisoner." Professor Dumbledore said. "I'll be welcomed back like a hero," Junior said. "Perhaps. Personally, I'd never had much time for heroes." Professor Dumbledore said.

Professor Snape kept his wand pointed at Junior as we left. When I got back to the Gryffindor Common room, I sat down on the couch next to the fireplace to process what had happened tonight. "Harry?" Hermione said when she walked up to me and sat down next to me. Ron also sat down next to me.

"How are you feeling?" Hermione said. "I don't know; I'm just stressed out right now," I said. "What happened to Lana. Where is she?" Ron said. "She got kidnapped by Voldemort. I didn't have enough time to save her and get to the portkey at the same time. I'm sorry. I promised her that I would come back for her. I feel bad for leaving her behind, oh, she must be really scared right now." I said. Hermione put her hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, we're going to get her back. We just need to come up with a plan first and we need to know where they are in order to get her back." Hermione said. I nodded. Wherever Lana is, I hope she is doing okay.

Lana's POV:

*with Voldemort, an hour earlier*

Voldemort screamed with rage when Harry escaped with Cedric. "I'll come back for you, Lana, I promise!" Harry shouted when he escaped. When Voldemort stopped screaming, everyone went silent. "My Lord, what should we do?" Lucius said. Voldemort sighed. "Harry had escaped. We need him here so we can kill him." Voldemort said. "I have an idea. How about we take this girl hostage so she can give us answers onto where Harry is." Lucius said. I whimpered in fear.

They were gonna torture me for answers. I tried to scream for help but the gag prevented me from doing so. "That's a good idea. Yes, I think we should do that. Because this girl here is Harry Potter's daughter and obviously, she knows where he is. Better yet, we know Harry is gonna come for her, so why don't we hold her with us so we can use her to get to Harry." Voldemort said. Tears were streaming down my face as I was terrified. "But my Lord, Harry said he will kill us if we hurt this girl." A woman said. The woman had black hair, black eyes and was wearing black robes.

"Not to worry, Bellatrix, we will deal with that when the time comes. For now, let's take her back to the manor." Voldemort said. Voldemort walked up to me and took the gag off of me. I whimpered again as he lifted my chin up with his hand. "What is your name, young one?" Voldemort said. "It's...It's Lana...Lana Potter." I stuttered. "Ah, Lana Potter. Daughter of Harry Potter. Just know this; I'm going to make you suffer until your father comes." Voldemort said.

Voldemort stood up. "Let's go back! Lucius, untie her but keep her hands tied; we don't want her escaping." Voldemort said. Lucius walked up to me, untied me, and forced me to stand. He grabbed my hands and tied my hands together tightly. "Let me go!" I cried. "Shut up!" Lucius shouted and punched me in the face. I gasped when we started floating in the sky. Black smoke surrounded me as we started spinning around. I held my breath and I felt like I was gonna be sick.

We finally stopped spinning around when we had gotten to the manor. Lucius kept his tight grip on me as he was dragging towards the mansion. When we got into the mansion, Voldemort gave more orders. "Take our guest to her cell. Keep her tied and don't let her escape." Voldemort said.

"Yes, my Lord," Lucius said. Lucius and Bellatrix grabbed me by the arms tightly and dragged me downstairs to the cell. When we got to the cell, I was forced to sit down in a chair and Lucius tied my chest tightly to the back of the chair, and my waist tied tightly.

He also tied my feet tightly. My hands were already tied so they didn't need to tie my hands again. "Please, let me go." I pleaded. "Hah, you think we're just gonna let you go?! No, we need you for when Potter arrives." Bellatrix said. Lucius tied a gag around my mouth. "Come, Bella, let's go and see what the Dark Lord wants us to do next," Lucius said. "Okay, enjoy your stay here, Potter! Hahaha!" Bellatrix laughed as she and Lucius left the cell.

I was now left alone in the cold, dark cell.
