A/N: Apology for the long delay, but here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch, day of third task
Harry stood a few feet away from Daphne hidden under his invisibility cloak. Harry had decided that he would follow Daphne through the maze and that they would both take the cup to the graveyard. There Harry would stay hidden until he had his chance of destroying Voldemort once and for all. Harry had received news from Gringotts a few weeks ago informing him that all that was left of Voldemort's horcruxes was his familiar. Harry had also gone with a back up plan, and he had informed the teacher exactly what he was going to do. Of course this had meant that he had to tell them everything. Harry thought back to that very conversation.
Headmistress Office three weeks ago (Flash Back)
Harry and his girls stood nervously in front of the room of adults. They had decided to come clean with everything. They had considered keeping everything under wraps, however with how the year had gone, there was no guarantee that the third task would end the way it had in the last time-line, and Harry and the girls decided to come up with a back-up plan.
"Thank you for meeting us. In a moment I will tell you something that will surprise most of you, however for you to hear this information, I must ask that you each swear an Unbreakable vow. The information that I and the girls are about to tell you is top secret, and If anyone else discovered it outside of this room, then it could cause serious problems for me and my family. I know this is a big shock of what I am asking you, however I will give you a few moments to think about your descison. Know this though, if you do decide to take the vow then you are making the ultimate commitment. Anyone breaking this vow would immediately die."
After several moments Harry was pleased to discover that all the adults had made the vow. Harry deep down knew they all would, however he still had to make sure.
"Okay then, As you know I and Hermione and Daphne are further in front of all our peers in our studies this year and the last. The reason for this is the three of us, have already been through our third and fourth year. In fact we have completed all years here at Hogwarts up to our seventh year."
Amelia eyes widened, along with the rest of the adults. "Harry, are you saying that you and the two girls you have mentioned are not from this time?"
Harry looked to Amelia and slowly nodded his head. "Yes Amelia that is exactly what I am saying. That was how I knew that Pettigrew was still alive, and also of the manipulation of our late headmaster. I had already lived through the events. In the last time-line it was I who was entered into the Goblet of Fire, not Daphne. However much of what happened in the last time line has changed. For example, during the first task, I retrieved my egg using my broom, where Daphne retrieved her egg by using Parceltongue. The second task was originally the under water rescue which as most of you know, I changed that this year. The third task however is to remain the same, and there is a very good reason for that. It was this year that Voldemort was finally resurrected."
Harry paused while everyone gasped and the adult began to talking amongst themselves. Harry calmly gained back their attention.
"The final task is a maze and at the very centre of that maze is the Tri-wizard cup. I managed to reach it along with Cedric Diggory. We argued for a few minutes on who should claim it, however we came to the conclusion that seeing how we were both in Hogwarts, then we would both claim it. Had I known what was going to happen then I would never have allowed Cedric to claim the cup. It turned out that the cup was all part of trap to lure me to my death. The cup transported me to a graveyard, where Peter Pettigrew performed a ritual using my blood to bring back Voldemort... You know what maybe it is best if you see this for yourselves."
Harry walked over to the cabinet near the headmistress desk, and then opened it, to pull out the huge pensive. He then bought his wand to his forehead. he concentrated on the memories that he wanted everyone to see, before several silver strands connected themselves to his wand tip. Harry then placed the strands into the huge basin and watched as the memory sank into the pensive. Harry then stepped out of the way and allowed all the adults to see what had happened.
"Harry are you sure this was a good idea? I mean in theory we are time travelers and there are laws against such things."
Harry reassured Hermione with a small kiss. "We both know that we couldn't do this without their help, that is why I made them swear an unbreakable vow. Hopefully they will see enough of my memories to come to the conclusion that what we know could be very important to the future, should I fail to kill Voldemort this year."
Harry and the girls watched as each of the adults pulled their heads from the pensive, and looked absolutely stunned at what they had seen. Once everyone was seated Harry decided to continue.
"As you can see, I was the only one there alive that knew that Voldmort had come back. Of course his followers knew but I was the only one on our side that knew. Voldemort had planned to kill me and then slowly work is way back into the magical world. Unfortunately like I always do, I mucked that plan right up and returned back to the school with Cedric body. When I got back I was taken away by Professor Moody. It was then I discovered that he had placed my name in the goblet, and that he wasn't the real Alastor Moody but an imposter using Poly-juice potion. It turned out that he was in fact Barty Crouch Jnr and that he had escaped Azkaban by using poly juice to disguise him has his mother when she had come to visit him. We later found the real Moody tied up inside Crouch's trunk." Harry noticed his Godmothers eye widened.
"Yes Professor, our DADA professor is in fact Barty Crouch Jnr under disguise, and he was the one who placed Daphne's name in the Goblet of fire."
"Harry if what you say is true, and I certainly believe you, then why did Daphne's name end up in the goblet this time around?"
Harry lowered his head. "That was my fault. I assume you all remember what happened at the Quiddtich world cup this year. While I was fighting, I discovered Barty Crouch Jnr and in my arrogance told him that I knew what he had planned this year, and knew that his master was planning to come back. I assumed Crouch took that message back to Voldemort and he decided to change is plan a little to throw me off guard. Instead of me being entered Voldemort decided to enter one of my wives."
Harry noticed everyone seemed satisfied with the answer.
"Now the next thing I will tell you, is most likely the biggest secret that you will hear. The reason Voldemort survived the night he tried to kill me, was because he had created Horcruxes." Harry heard several gasp once more. he shook his head in frustration.
"I however only found out about these vile things in my sixth year, when Dumbledore decided to teach me of Voldemort origins. Dumbledore so blinded by his own greater good had decided to search for the items on his own, and during the summer of our fifth year, discovered one of Voldemort horcruxes. He was foolishly drawn to the item and was cursed by it. Dumbledore was dying and he wanted to make sure that I knew what I was up against. Before Dumbledore died he took me on one of his mission and we discovered another horcrux, however this one turned out to be fake. The real Horcrux had been moved by Sirius late Brother Regulus Black, who had sworn loyalty to Voldemort during the first war. It was he who had discovered Voldemort secret and had intended to destroy the others. Unfortunately he was killed while in service to Voldemort and couldn't pass on his knowledge. He left the horcrux in the care of his family house elf who promised that he would do everything in his power to destroy the vile thing. Of course I am talking about Kreatcher Sirius. I was able to destroy the item earlier this year after you handed me the Black title."
Harry noticed Sirius was just stood there, his mouth hanging open, causing Harry to smirk a little. However his face soon turned serious.
"When Dumbledore and I had returned back to the school we discovered that Draco Malfoy had been ordered by Voldemort to Kill Dumbledore, and he had used an old vanishing cabinet to sneak into Hogwarts Voldemorts inner circle. We found ourselves surrounded, however Dumbledore had told me to hide and I watched as Draco struggled with carrying out the order he had been given. Eventually he could not complete the task and due to an unbreakable vow Severus had made to Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, he had to kill Dumbledore. Of course Dumbledore had planned this, after all Severus was the only who knew the old fool was dying, and had told him that when the time came he was the one who had kill him."
Harry watched his Godfather go green with disgust, however he decided to continue with the story.
"Now knowing how Voldemort survived it was left up to me to carry on the old fools mission. Hermione, Ron and I spent our sixth year looking for the vile things, However I won't bore you with the details but we discovered all of them. Or we thought we had destroyed all of them, until Dumbledore dropped a bombshell in a memory that I retrieved from Severus. It turned out there was one more horcrux, my scar. For me to defeat Voldemort I had to sacrifice myself by allowing Voldemort to kill me. So that is what I did and I woke up in the after-life where I discovered everything that had happened to me was manipulated by Dumbledore for his greater good."
Harry paused allowed the adults to digest everything he had told them. of course he had left certain parts out, especially about the Hallows but that was his business after all.
"Harry I take you have taken care of all the horcruxes now, and that when Voldemort comes back this year then he will be mortal?"
Harry nodded his head. "All but one, which I will destroy in the graveyard when I get there this year. However once I kill Voldemort that will leave Dark lord number two Albus Dumbledore who I believe has gone and made himself several horcruxes. it was the only logical explanation for what took place at the end of his trial when I beheaded him. However we can worry about him after we have taken care of Voldemort. This what I propose." Harry then spent the rest of the time informing the adults on the plan to take down Voldemort once and for all.
Harry had everything in place. He had given Amelia the coordinate for the graveyard and she would be ready with a platoon of Aurors hidden under invisibility cloaks. Harry had also charmed the galleons that he used for the DA to become an emergency Port key, which had given to all the other adults including his wives. Once he gave them the signal then they would also appear. Harry heard the buzzer and quickly followed Daphne into the maze.
Daphne had her wand out, her robes were covered in filth thanks to the last two obstacles she had faced. Now she found herself lost, however with the help of Harry under his invisibility cloak she was able to find her way. Just has they got around the corner they heard a scream.
"Fleur! Krum most likely got to her." Harry said quietly.
Daphne turned to the space behind her. "So should we go help her?" Daphne really didn't want to, after all the girl had been a complete bitch to her all this year. Not to mention tried to push her between Harry and her.
Harry stood silent for a little while, he knew he should, but with what had happened with Gabby then he couldn't risk being dragged into another potential Veela Life-debt.
"Krum would have only knocked her out, after all he is in here to make sure you get to the cup. Come on lets carry on going. "
Harry suddenly noticed a red flare fly up and assumed that Cedric most have discovered Fleur. Maybe he would get tied to the French beauty. After all Harry felt that Cedric could do with some happiness. Harry lead Daphne through the maze, until they could see the trophy standing in the middle of the maze. Harry and Daphne were about to run towards it when Krum blocked their path. his eye glazed over and his wand ready to fire. Daphne gulped and stepped to the side, however she heard noise behind her and noticed Cedric had found his way to them.
Harry groaned, thinking quickly he used the elder wand to knock both boys out. "Come on we have to get going. At least this time Cedric won't be coming with us."
Daphne nodded and then took hold of the cup, while Harry gripped the other handle. Both teens then felt the familiar tug in their stomachs, before they were whisked off.
Graveyard
Harry and Daphne fell to the floor. Seeing that his cover could be blown Harry quickly rolled behind one of the headstones and waited. He looked around and noticed Daphne was on her knees, and a figure dressed in black robes wearing a death eater mask was walking towards her. In the figures arms was the bundle that was Voldemort. Harry could also see Nagini moving behind her master and making sure nothing came anywhere near him. Harry heard Voldemort shout.
"Bind the girl!"
Daphne knew she could defend herself, however she had to play the scared little girl card, so that Harry's plan could work. She suddenly screamed as two stone arms suddenly came around her waist and pulled her back. Daphne screamed as a Stone Scythe was then across her chest, holding her in place.
Harry watched the ritual and cried as Daphne had her arm cut. he wanted to jump in and rescue her, however for the plan to work he needed to allow things to play out as they had before. Harry used his wand quickly to conjure a rat and let it loose. he smiled as he watched the snake eyes lock on it, and slivered towards it. Now was his chance. Waited for the snake to grab hold of the rat in her coils before he pointed his wand.
"Sectumsempra! Harry smirked as the cutting curse connected and sliced the snake in two. An ear pitch scream sounded before the shade left the body and quickly flew into the cauldron that was now bubbling. Harry with his work done watched as the cauldron exploded and then growled as Voldemort returned to a body. He looked just the same as before. His face was white, with two slits for a nose and he was totally bald. Harry watched as he took his wand from his follower. Harry nearly lost it, when he heard who had completed the ritual.
"Well done Umbridge. You have served me with loyalty and now give me your arm so that I might reward you for your service."
Harry watched as Umbridge arm was healed. Harry then noticed at least 40 odd wisp of black smoke appear behind Voldemort. From the smoke death eater appeared dressed in their tradition black robes with their skull mask in place.
"Welcome my minions. You are to witness the re-birth of your master and to celebrate his return with the death of this girl who is the wife of the boy who defeated me all those years ago. You see it wasn't skill the boy used to beat me, but luck. His mud-blood mother had placed a powerful protection charm on him. However in my arrogance I failed to see it, and it cost me dearly. But Now!"
Harry watched as Daphne was released from the stone angel and fell to the floor. Harry watched Voldemort raise his wand, the killing curse on the edge of his lips. That was it, Harry threw of the cloak and dived pushing Daphne out of the way from the curse. Harry then shouted.
"Now!" Harry watched as Amelia appeared with her aurors and then watched as the rest of the adult along with his wives appeared. Harry noticed the stun expression on Voldemort's face.
"Whats this? The Ministry here, but how? Avada Kedavra!" Harry noticed Voldemort fire the killing curse. Quickly he banished some old rubble in front of it. while the rubble exploded Harry stood and prepared himself. He then noticed Voldemort's eyes widened once more as he stepped out of the dust cloud formed from the rubble exploding.
"Surprised Tom, Yes it's me, your favourite person in the entire world. Tell me Tom how does it feel to made a fool of? Did you really think I would allow you to kill one of my wives without a fight. You must be getting forgetful in your old age Tom."
Voldemort now circled while his followers attempted to keep the aurors and others at bay. Unfortunately the new recruits were no match for the aurors and others and soon started to fall one by one. Voldemort twirled his wand and sneered at the teen in front of him.
"It matters little Potter. So you saved your wife, big deal. You have now left yourself wide open for me to kill you. however before I do, I think I will make you suffer.
"Crucio!" The sickly yellow streak shot towards it's target. However Voldemort growled as Potter avoided the spell and side stepped it.
"Come on Tom, is that the best you can do? Or are you so much of a weak wizard that you can only use three spells." Harry sent back several of his own spells forcing Voldemort to block three and avoid the last one.
"You mock me child! The great Lord Voldemort!" Voldemort then hissed as several spells left his wand, causing Harry to shield and dive for cover.
"Now that's more like it Tom." Harry then sent his own spells several making Voldemort shield once more. However he was so busy with shielding that when Harry next spell hit, his shield was smashed as his arms sliced off with the dark cutting curse. Harry heard Voldemort scream as his wand arm was severed."
Harry noticed Voldemort fell to his knees, his wand several feet away, still clutched in his severed hand. Harry approached Voldemort this was it. There was no escaping now, Harry had made sure that Voldemort had no way of escaping. Harry watched the once Dark Lord bowing towards him. Harry noticed his snake like face looked up.
"You may have won this time boy! But I will be back. Voldemort always comes back"
Harry grinned. "Not this time Tom, all your little toys have been destroyed. The diary, the locket, the ring, the diadem, the cup, your snake and finally the accidental horcrux in my scar. You always said that it would be I who kneel before you and yet here we are, you kneeling to me. Give my regards to Death won't you."
Voldemort eye's widened this couldn't be how it ended. His soul anchors all destroyed and the boy who had stopped him all those years ago, now had his wand trained on him. Voldemort closed his eyes as he heard the two words that he had used so often. The Green flash and then no more.
Harry's wand tip was still glowing green from delivering the killing curse. It was over, Voldemort was dead. Now Harry could concentrate all his efforts on defeating the next Dark Lord, Dumbledore.
