"What are we going to do?" Asked George.
"I don't know, why would he even be there, what's his reason for impersonating Moody?" Asked Katie.
"Don't know but one things for sure, he's the one who put my name in the goblet." Said Harry.
"Okay now all we have to do is prove it." said Adam.
"How do we do it?" Megan asked.
"You know, I bet you anything that flask he drinks from is a polyjuice potion. He drinks it every hour, it all fits. So how about we switch it with another flask that has polyjuice potion and truth serum in it." Harry said.
"Okay good plan but how do we get the truth serum?" Fred asked.
"hmmm, were going to have to include Snape and Dumbledore." Harry said.
"Yeah we could do that but that would mean you would have to tell them about the Golden Dragon." said Megan.
"I guess I'll have to tell Dumbledore but Snape doesn't have to know and I won't tell him about the chamber's hidden room. If he found out about that he would probably ban me or something from using them or want me to bring them to him. I'll just tell him about the egg and that's it." said Harry. "I'll see you guys later."
Harry then left his friends and made his way up to Dumbledore's office, he had the map so he knew he was there. He then said multiple candy and words until he got it right with Whizzing Fhizbeez. The gargoyle opened up and Harry made his way in. He saw Dumbledore sitting back behind his desk.
"Ah, Harry, your getting good with guessing my passwords, tell me what is on your mind?" He asked.
"I know who put my name in the goblet." Harry started off. This brought Dumbledore into immediate attention.
"Go on Harry."
"It's Moody sir." He said.
"Harry, surely I think your mistaken."Dumbledore started off but Harry cut him off.
"Wait professor I have to tell you something. I trust you know the legend of the golden dragons." Harry said.
This brought surprise into Dumbledore's expression."Go on Harry."
"Sir when I saved Ginny in the chamber of secrets I found a room. In the room was a golden egg and when I touched it, the egg hatched. I think you can tell what came out of it." Harry said.
"Oh my, Harry, this is." Dumbledore started off but didn't know what to say.
"Sir, the golden dragon gives me extra senses and it has been proved to me that I can feel dark magic. I felt it on Wormtail when he was Scabbers and I feel the exact same thing on Moody. And no it's not just because he's been in a lot of battles. I know it's the dark mark on his left arm. I think someone is impersonating Moody with Polyjuice potion, please trust me on this sir." said Harry.
Dumbledore looked thoughtful for a minute but responded. "Okay Harry, I trust your judgement, do you have any ideas on how to proceed?" He asked.
"Yes, I was thinking we stun him in front of the students tonight in the great hall and give him truth serum."
"Okay Harry I agree, when we are all seated I will stun him and Severus can administer the truth serum."
"Thank you sir, see you later tonight."
The rest of the day was filled with classes, with everyone in the class glaring at him. In the middle of his Herbology class Colin Creevey came in and told Professor Sprout that Harry was needed for the weighing of the wands. Harry then left the class to see the other champions there along with Mr. Ollivander. He checked all the wands and found that they were all in good working condition. The champions then left to be interviewed by Rita Skeeter, she spent a lot of her time insinuating, guessing and making a lot of things up and put words in Harry's mouth. Eventually he had enough and left.
At lunch he was sitting in the great hall with his friends. At one point Hayley had walked up to him and said that she believed him which meant a lot to him and thanked her. Then owls started coming in with the latest edition of the Daily Prophet. She must have been up all night last night writing it, hmm that's funny. I don't recall seeing her there.
TRI-WIZARD CHAMPIONS PICKED!
By Rita Skeeter
Last night the schools of Durmstrang, Beauxbaton and Hogwarts gathered together in the great hall to see who would become the tri-wizard champions. The Durmstrang champion was Bulgarian seeker, Victor Krum. The Beauxbaton champion was Fluer Delacour and the Hogwarts champion was Cedric Diggory. But a surprising twist had Hogwarts pick out a second champion, Harry Potter. Once the goblet had finished with it's third name it ignited and shot out a fourth name...
It went on to to discredit Harry by making him sound like he put his name in and a whole bunch of other stuff. Once lunch was over everyone then left to go to class. Later that night everyone assembled into the great hall to have dinner. It was then that the plan was to start. Sean Murray, a reporter from the Daily Prophet that Harry once read an article he had wrote asked Dumbledore to invite him because he thought he would tell the truth and that he would be a better choice then Rita Skeeter.
Dumbledore then stunned Moody which brought everyone's attention. Snape walked over, levitated him in front of him and conjure a chair for the impersonator to sit on, Dumbledore bound him and addressed the students who were watching them intently.
"Everyone,attention please. As all of you know Harry Potter's name came out of the goblet. I must now inform you that this is not the real Alastor Moody. Whoever it really is has been using polyjuice potions, Professor Snape will now administer the truth serum." Snape ennervated him and administered the truth serum.
Dumbledore then started asking questions.
"Who are you really?"
"Barty Crouch Junior" He said. You could hear everyone gasp.
"Did you put Harry Potter's name in the goblet of fire?"
"Yes."
"Why did you put his name in the goblet?"
"Because the dark lord ordered me to."
"Where is Voldemort?"
"I don't know." Dumbledore turned back to the hall to see the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, Ravenslaws and a couple of Slytherins take of the badges.
Harry was now had many people rushing over to him to apologize. The champions then made their way over to apologize. When everyone had apologized Harry would say that it's okay and that he didn't blame them for not believing him.
Harry could see that Sean was having a field day with all the information that was being revealed so he thought he would go talk to him.
"Hello Mr. Murray." He said.
"Ah yes, hello Mr. Potter, I was wondering if I could have a word with you."
"No worries and please call me Harry."
"Then call me Sean."
Sean then proceeded to ask Harry questions on how he knew it was the fake Moody and what he felt after it was revealed. To which Harry responded somewhat truthfully, well not truthfully at all really. He said that "I saw Moody drink from his flask exactly on every hour and that Professor Dumbledore saw that he wasn't acting like he normally did. When Moody went to drink from his flask he never noticed that at one point Professor Snape had been close enough to smell what it was. I went to Dumbledore with my suspicions to find out he had his own and that Professor Snape had his own as well, so when we started to add all these things together it just made sense that it was him. So we staged this whole thing and invited you to tell the story how it is."
Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout had just found Moody in the locked chest in the DADA's office. They had got him out and helped him to get to Madam Pomphrey. Harry had accompanied Sean to the infirmary so they could see if Moody was alright. They had just arrived to see him fall sleep on one of the hospitals beds. Just then Minister Fudge, Amelia Bones and a few Aurors including Tonks arrived to escort Barty Crouch Junior back to the ministry. Junior had been stunned the entire time and kept in ropes sealed up so he couldn't move or escape, he was currently on one of the hospital beds with Flitwick and Sprout standing guard over him.
Harry and Tonks had managed to give each other a quick smile before Tonks had to get to work. She had moved over to Junior to stand guard along with the other aurors while Dumbledore, Snape and Harry explained what happened. Sean had managed to get in a couple of questions to Fudge and Amelia before they left. Tonks and Harry shared one more smile before she left. Sean then thanked Dumbledore and Harry for answering his questions and left to write it up. Meanwhile the students had made their way to their beds to sleep.
I had to edit this chapter because it was brought to my attention that I made a mistake so I would like to thank Arkenstone007 for informing me of this.
I am also in need of a Beta as I have already shown that I can't be bothered to check everything that I write so if anyone could be of help please message me.
