A/N: still don't own them
Potter's Personal Chamber
Chapter 11: Mad Eye and Crouch Jr.
When they arrived they were paired off with Tony and Kensi. They were given the cell while the Aurors, Gibbs and Deeks were given the graveyard next to the jail.
"That's oddly convenient, don't you think?" Tony said.
"What, the graveyard?" Kensi clarified.
"Yeah, maybe a past warden just started killing off inmates." Tony speculated.
"Tony, I doubt it. It would probably be the architect who killed off inmates. Why else would the graveyard be there?" Harry said.
"Hey now there's an idea, A killer architect." Tony said.
"We should tell Tim's writer friend " He suggested.
"No, it is a dumb idea. Although that reminds I need to talk to Tim about something." Harry said.
"In what way?" Kensi asked.
"In the way I talked to Tony when we left for here." Harry said. Tony's eyes went wide.
"Have mercy on him. He is a computer geek after all." Tony said.
"Of coarse I'll have mercy on him. I like him." Harry said. At this Callen and Kensi started to laugh.
"Eh Tu Harrytai?" Tony said pretending to grab a dagger's hilt. Harry took a moment to answer.
"Yep, that sums it up." Harry said with a nod and a dismissive scene before him was not pretty, but not gruesome either. A man who could have been called attractive if not for something in his eyes that spoke volumes as to his character. His nails were bloody was the wall that had the window. His expression said he had died in terror.
"So who is it?" Kensi asked.
"Bartimus Crouch Jr." Harry said.
"Was he the real teacher or the fake one?" Kensi asked.
"The fake one." Harry said, emotionless.
"What no warm and fuzzy feelings?" Callen asked.
"You try having warm and fuzzy feelings for someone when he tries to kill you." Harry said.
"Really?" Tony asked. Harry nodded.
"That bites." Kensi said.
"Tell me about it." Harry said.
With that they commenced canvassing the scene. They didn't turn up anything significant. They zipped up the corpse and gave instructions to the prison doctor for the corpses to be sent to Ducky.
At the HQ for the L.A. team Harry volunteered to give the tapes to Eric and Nell, the short brunette woman he heard gasp at his name. Fortunately luck was on his side. Eric wasn't in the tech area.
"Nell right?" Harry said. She turned around.
"You probably want to know why I gasped when I heard your name right?" Nell said.
"I will admit my curiosity is peaked but no, I'm here to drop off some security tapes." Harry said; in his experience people tended to give more information if you didn't push.
"Well I feel that you should know. I'm a witch and at school I did a report on you. We were given an assignment to write about a famous witch or wizard. I decided to break the mold and find someone who wasn't well known." Nell said. Harry nodded his head.
"Thanks for the explanation but how did you get into technology?" Harry asked.
"My mom, who's a muggle, got sick and I decided to take care of her and I went to a cyber cafe one day and I got hooked." Nell said happily. Harry nodded.
"How do you live with your secret?" Nell asked.
"Well for the past couple of weeks I haven't been. It's been liberating." Harry said.
"What about the statue of secrecy?" Nell asked. Harry shrugged.
"I assume the ministry knows about it but nothing yet." Harry said.
"That's because the American ministry is thinking about revealing itself." Justin said.
"Anybody who reveals themselves is considered a test run." He finished.
"Is our perp magical?" Nell asked. In response she got nods.
"Ok, I'll reveal myself." She committed.
"I'll go round up the L.A. personnel." Justin said.
"Do you want me to stay or go?" Harry asked.
"Will you stay?" Nell asked. Harry nodded.
"Oh, can I borrow your wand?" She asked.
Harry pulled his out and handed it to her. She nodded her thanks. The first one in was Eric. He seemed to understand something big was happening but didn't pressure either if them as to what it was. Next were the field agents and then Henrietta.
"So what's up Nell?" Eric asked.
"I've been keeping a secret from you guys." Nell said.
"What? Why…" Deeks started.
"Mister Deeks, I think it would be more productive if you were silent. Mrs. Jones is obviously going to reveal her secret to us." Henrietta admonished.
"Go ahead, dear." She said, addressing Nell.
"Thanks. I understand if you find it hard to believe but I will prove it to you and answer questions after I've told you guys." Nell said, in way of prefacing her secret.
"Magic is real and I can use it." Nell said. She turned to Harry.
"Will you remove your jacket?" She asked him.
Harry did so, holding it by one finger, that was perfectly straight. Nell flicked the wand at then moved it away. The coat followed the wand's direction. Almost everyone freaked out. The ones who didn't were Harry, Nell, Henrietta and Callen.
"Any questions?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, how did you know that Nell had magic?" Kensi accused. Harry took a moment to compose his message.
"In the British Wizarding World I'm a celebrity. Nell wrote a paper on me when she was at school. I put the pieces together when I heard her gasp at my first name." Harry said.
"You guys are about the same age. What made you famous at such a young age?" Callen asked.
"I survived the killing curse." Harry said.
"I'm guessing that doesn't happen often." Sam said.
"First one." Harry confirmed.
"How?" Deeks asked. Harry shrugged.
"I was one at the time." Harry said.
"I'm assuming you're telling this secret for a reason." Henrietta said.
"Our perp is magical." Nell said.
