The daily prophet had gotten word about what occurred at the second task and it was in the papers in the evening edition.
HAS DUMBLEDORE GONE MAD?
'Reports have come in the last few hours regarding the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, that have shown us that Dumbledore may not be as good as he once seemed. The second task of this dangerous tournament was something of the champion's that was important to them was taken from them and hidden in the Black Lake on the grounds of Hogwarts Castle.
However it turns out that what was taken was not an object, but a person who was close to the specific champion. I was not in attendance for the second task as I was in the first but many eye witnesses have come forward with this information. The Beauxbatons champion Fleur Delacour had to rescue her 12 year sister from the depths of the Lake and the Hogwarts champion Justin Finch-Flentchly had to rescue his girlfriend from the depths of the Lake as well.
However this is not the shocking news, no this came from the Durmstrang champion Harry Riddle, whose mate was taken and placed at the bottom of the river. The champions had one hour to get their specific person and return to the surface, Harry Riddle came in first place, followed by Fleur and then Justin.
The shocking news was after this event. According to eye witnesses Mr Riddle did not look happy when he came out of the lake, apparently he looked really mad, the reason for this was soon revealed.
According to witnesses they heard Mr Riddle yell 'Just what do you think you were doing when you took my mate?' This was not shocking as it was well known to all of the students there that they were mates. Dumbledore had replied that it was to take the thing that was most important to one of the champions, which made him think it was okay to take a living person. It is what came next that shocked everyone in attendance and myself.
'Obvious thing to do! My mate is fucking pregnant!' The had yelled. According to the headmaster he did not know Mr Riddle's mate was pregnant. There was a discussion for others in the audience that same sex mates could have children, followed by Mr Riddle saying that he could see the headmaster lying from reading his mind.
When I look at the pictures taken from the event it is obvious that Draco Malfoy-Riddle, the mate of Harry Malfoy-Riddle, was indeed pregnant. Below this article there is a picture of Mr Malfoy-Riddle with his friends, his stomach is obviously enlarged and his hand is always resting on it. To me and to many of the people there this was obvious. It took a kiss of his mate, and the feel of their baby inside him that calmed young Mr Riddle.
This makes me wonder, readers, if Dumbledore is all there. How could he take children like this and use them in tournament that dangerous? Who stuns children and takes them under the lake? And who puts a pregnant mate underwater?
Ladies and Gentlemen I leave you to decide.

Harry read the paper and smiled, his father was not going to be happy. He knew that Tom always read the paper, and he was doing it more now that his son was in the tournament. He also knew that Voldemort would not come to the castle to take on Dumbledore as they had a plan and he would stick to it, no matter how much he wanted to kill the man.
Not long after reading this Harry was called for his third and final task. He went with Draco, who knew that Harry was not going to let him out of his sights until they were back at their manor.
Draco and Harry were protective of each other even months into their bonding, just because their bond was so strong, however Harry had been even more protective of Draco since he got pregnant and now that the headmaster had already tired to kill him in Harry's eyes he was being even more protective.
Draco kind of liked the attention that his love was giving him, even though it was a bit annoying to him watching him like a hawk.
Harry had learned that the final task was going to be a maze. Harry had gotten a call from his father telling him that Mad-Eye Moody, one of the professors teaching there was using Polyjuice potion to get information. His real name was Barty Crouch Junior, the son of the Minister. He was going to put a port-key inside the Triwizard Cup that would transport them to a graveyard, where Voldemort would be waiting. Barty knew who Harry was so that made things easier. They will have one of the auror's that they had in the dungeon with him, and he will be killed. Harry would then return with the dead body and say that Voldemort was back, Barty would then take the boy back to his chambers where he would then escape, leaving the light to find the real Mad-Eye.
His father had not yet read the paper by this point, and Harry was going to tell him that night when they spoke with the mirror.
Harry told all of his friends to keep an eye on Draco for him while he was in the maze, to which they nodded.
"Champions this is no ordinary maze. While inside you will learn that the maze plays tricks on the mind, some have gone crazy trying to navigate it. The maze can also change, so be on your guard and don't trust anything you see or hear, even each other. If one you wishes to leave the maze send up red sparks into the air, if one of you is taken by the maze then you will be returned here. When one grasps the Cup the tournament is over and you will all be found and brought back. Good luck to you all." The Minister said.
Harry turned and smiled at his mate, who was sitting in the front and once again holding his belly. He got a nod and a mouthed 'I love you' from his mate, before he heard the canon, as soon as this noise sounded he took of into the maze first. Since he was in first place Harry entered the maze first, Fleur came in 5 minutes later and Justin came in 5 minutes after Fleur.
Harry already had an idea of where the Cup was, Barty had told him. It had to be Harry who used the Cup to get to the graveyard, as he was the one in the plan, he knew it was cheating but it was the only way to make sure he would be the one to get into the graveyard.
Harry remembered the route that Barty had told him about, going left and then right all over again in a specific sequence until he saw the blue, glowing Cup. He had seen some red sparks a bit earlier on indicating that someone had been taken out of the maze, he smiled it looked like he was going to be seeing his father for sure.
Harry reached out and took the Cup, feeling the familiar feeling of using a port-key, he landed on his feet in the middle of a graveyard and he could sense his fathers near by.
Using that sense he navigated his way through the many stones, trees and lumps in the crowd before he could finally his fathers and some of the Death Eaters in his sights. As soon as he saw his parents he rushed to them and hugged them, hugging the Death Eaters that had come as well.
"Father, dad. I have missed you, there is so much that I have to tell you, and some of it is not good." Harry said. He was okay telling his family now of what has been going on, he could stay here for an hour or so before he had to head back and claim the prize.
"Well what's the good news cub?" Remus asked, taking of the mask that covered his face. All of the Death Eaters did this too revealing Remus, Sirius, Bellatrix, Lucius, Narcissa and some others that Harry did not know the names of.
"Well the good news is that Draco is now in his 5th month and is doing fine. We are going to the healer when we return to the mansion as we no longer trust anything in thing in that school, even more so now than we did." Harry said this part with a sneer on his face, making the adults wonder what happened to cause it.
"Harry what is the bad news?" Lucius asked, he was almost afraid to know.
"That crazy old man is what is the bad news! The second task was to get something important that was taken from us, from under the Black Lake!" Harry yelled, his shout causing some of the Death Eaters to cover their ears.
"What's so bad bout that cub?" Sirius asked, getting a dark look from his Godson.
"What's bad about that is that the thing I had to go and save was Draco, my pregnant mate!" Harry yelled even louder. At this shout the Death Eaters, Voldemort and Severus turned nasty.
"They kidnapped children to use as bait, in the bottom of a lake, and one of them was pregnant!?" Tom yelled.
"Yes and I know Dumbledore knew it too! I read his mind he wants to use Draco so I will help him. He knew that he was pregnant with my child and he thought he could use them to get to me! His eyes, nose, mouth and ears were all sealed father, it hurt so much seeing my mate like that." Harry said, his eyes beginning to water with tears.
Both set of parents moved to hug the boy and he accepted it. He told them what happened after that, what he had said to them and what Draco did to calm him down, he even said that their child moved which brought smiled to all of the faces.
They talked for another half an hour, and then it was time for Harry to return with the dead body of the auror. He hugged his parents and then the Death Eaters before making his way to the port-key, he opened his eyes to the scene of when he first went in, the loud music and all of the people staring at him.
He was not going to pretend to cry, but he was going to pretend that he was in shock, that was something that can easily be done.
It did not take long for the light to see the dead body that had been brought back with him.
"What happened?" Dumbledore asked him. No matter how much he wanted to smirk, Harry knew that he could not. This was all part of the plan, people from the paper were here to see this and Harry knew that Dumbledore and the Order had not told people that Voldemort was back. This was the plan, to get people from the paper to hear that the Dark Lord is back, write about and then everyone in the light would panic.
Another part of the plan, the part that Harry liked, was making Dumbledore look even worse then he did from the previous edition. If he told Dumbledore that Voldemort was back and that it was him that attacked Diagon Alley, the readers would be shocked as Dumbledore had told them it was Voldemort who attacked.
"It's Voldemort, headmaster, he is back. It was definitely him that attacked Diagon Alley the other week, I read about it in the papers and he mentioned it when we were in the graveyard. He killed this auror when he first got there." Harry said in his most panicked voice that he could find.
"Harry you can't say things like that." Dumbledore said to him, knowing that the press could hear what they were saying.
"But why sir, they should know that the Dark Lord is back!" Harry yelled, panicked. This caused the whole stadium to go into silent shock before there was an uproar.
"Mad-Eye, take Harry to your chambers and keep him there, give him something for the shock that he is in." Dumbledore said in his grandfather voice.
Mad-Eye nodded and motioned for Harry to follow him.
When they were out of sight they looked at one another and smiled evilly. "Looks like the plan is working my Prince, soon you will be back at the manor where you belong and we will be taking Hogwarts by storm." The man said, the potion wore of revealing the young face of Barty Crouch Junior underneath.
The man smiled at Harry before apparating away. He told Harry where the real Moody was, Harry then knocked himself around a little bit to make sure that it looked like there had been a struggle.
When the headmaster and the professors came into the room he explained what happened and then pointed to the chest where the real Moody had been kept. Once the man was free Harry was allowed to go back to his rooms with Draco, for their last night ever in Hogwarts.
Draco congratulated him on winning the tournament, said how proud he was of his lovely mate and kissed him. Harry and Draco made love to celebrate his win and then contacted their parents to tell them how things went, they were very happy that things had went the way they hoped it would and congratulated Harry on winning and tricking the light even more.
They bid their parents goodnight telling them that they would see them tomorrow when they got back to Bulgaria.
Harry and Draco talked for a bit, mostly about going home tomorrow, how close Draco was to giving birth, how close their attack on Hogwarts was going to be and how excited they were that Harry was going to be taking home the Triwizard Cup, that he would get at the leaving ceremony tomorrow morning before they left.
Harry and Draco then told each other that they loved them, both also saying that they love their baby, kissed one another again and bid goodnight.
Draco was holding Harry tonight as Harry had been sore when he came back from the tournament, and being in his mate's arms helped heal him more. Harry had his hand against Draco's stomach and Draco's was on top of his, both holding their baby protectively.
As they were going to sleep the same thought crossed their minds. The light was never going to win, they would fall and the dark would make the world a better place, the place that it should have been. Harry and Draco, as well as all of their friends, looking more forward to killing those that hurt them, especially the headmaster, Ron and Hermione.
