Chapter 51- Tournament's End
Harry felt himself slam flat into the ground; his face was pressed into grass; the smell of it filled his nostrils. Mingled with that was Draco's scent; Sandalwood…
Harry did not move at first, all the breath seemed to have been knocked out of him; his head was swimming so badly he felt as though the ground beneath him were swaying like the deck of a ship. To hold himself steady, he tightened his hold on the two things he was still clutching: the smooth, cold handle of the Triwizard Cup and his wand. He felt as though he would slide away into the blackness gathering at the edges of his brain if he let go of either of them. Shock and elation kept him on the ground, breathing in the smell of the grass, waiting… waiting for someone to do something… something to happen…
A torrent of sound deafened and confused him; there were voices everywhere and footsteps… He remained where he was, his face screwed up against the noise, as though it were a nightmare that would pass…
Then a pair of wrapped around him and a face pressed into his neck, "Adder! I can't believe we did that!"
Dray…he loved him so much. His dragon kept him grounded. He needed to listen to him more…this might have happened differently if he had…
"Harry!"
That was Hermione…
"Harry!"
Blaise…
"We did it! We taught that snake-faced bastard a thing or two."
Fred….
"Harry, I'm so glad you're okay. We're all safe…"
George…
"Harry, I was so worried. Draco! My baby! Are you alright?"
Ms. Cissy…
"Pup! Draco!"
Dad…
"Ahren!"
Viktor…he must be okay now…
"Boys!"
Mr. Weasley…
He finally opened his eyes and hugged Draco back He was looking up at the starry sky, and Remus was crouched over him. The dark shadows of a crowd of people; his family, pressed in around them, pushing nearer; Harry felt the ground beneath his head reverberating with their footsteps.
He had come back to the edge of the maze. He could see the stands rising above him, the shapes of people moving in them, the stars above.
They all had let go of the cup by now…
Draco helped Harry up and held him close, "You're okay now." He'd worry about the consequences of embarrassing the Dark Lord later.
Harry reached out with a shaking hand, he was going into shock, grabbing Remus' robe. "He's back," Harry whispered. "He's back. Voldemort."
"What's going on? What's happened?" Remus was a bit confused, Lucius had just shown up during the Task telling them that Fleur and Viktor had been injured and needed treatment. Then the Nemean Lion left the maze only to be met by Blaise. His pup's mate and his friends disappeared. Benia showed up with Cedric who was injured…
Now they were all back and Harry was saying the Dark Lord was back?
"We saw him professor; all of us. Harry dueled him. We managed to subdue the Dark Lord, then in the confusion we retreated while hexing the returned Death Eaters."
"Returned Death Eaters Malfoy?" came Minister for Magic Amelia Bones' voice.
"Yes Minister Bones. They were summoned. Father and Severus can attest to that. Has Karkaroff disappeared yet?" Draco nodded.
Amelia looked around, "He was just here."
"He won't be back." Severus said simply, "he ran because he gave up too many names to save his own skin." He'd joined them, wrapping his right arm around his son and his godson. "I was worried when Benia told me you weren't here and that you were in danger."
"He's okay. I made sure of it."
"Harry! You're bleeding." Narcissa gasped, holding her daughter close.
Severus pulled up Harry's sleeve, "What happened?
"The Dark Lord, he had Nott's dad help him. He took his dad's bone, my blood and Mr. Nott's hand. He used it to give himself a body." Harry stammered.
"Is he ever ugly!" Fred snorted.
"Shut up Fred!" Draco smacked the back of his friend's head.
Severus examined the wound, a silver knife was used he could tell by the way it cut the skin. He summoned a potion to cleanse the wound and then used a minor healing charm. He hugged his son, tightly, "I'm so glad you safe." He wouldn't have been able to face Lily in the Veil if she waited for him…
"The Dark Lord insulted my mother! He said that she was just a sacrifice and with his blood in my veins he would be able to have my protection." Harry grumbled.
"How did you escape?" Amelia asked, worried as she tried to gage his truthfulness.
"Papa do you have a vial?"
"No. Just a moment." Severus summoned a glass vial.
"What is the charm for memory extraction?" Harry asked.
Draco told him.
Harry withdrew his memories from the moment he and Cedric grabbed the Cup to the moment they all grabbed it to return. "You watched me extract it. It's not been tampered with. Examine it."
Viktor had already apologized to Cedric and Fleur for the attacks his memories claimed he did. He shuffled nervously at the edge of Hermione's vision, "Ahren I swear I didn't attack them knowingly."
Hermione smiled, "I believe you."
"He was attacked from behind, by someone with a Glamoured voice. Sound Familiar?" Severus asked raising an eyebrow.
Draco snarled, "Dumbledore, that manipulative bastard."
Bagman rubbed his hands together, "It seems we have a tie but Mr. Diggory refused his half of the winnings."
Harry yawned, he suddenly felt so tired. "So it's all mine? All one hundred Galleons? Mr. Lucius, can take it in trust for Fred and George. Go find them a place for their shop in Diagon Alley, someplace with an upstairs apartment with two or three bedrooms. If you have to buy them an entire building I don't mind. Oh and buy them rights on Zonkos' if the owners ever choose to sell. It's not like I actually need a hundred Galleons…"
Fred's jaw dropped, "Ha…arry…" he was just going to give them all that money
George fainted.
"Papa can help them get ingredients for their potions and other inventions. I'm sure he has connections even to hard to find ingredients. Anything left over they can use how they like. Perhaps, they should become a sponsor of the Chudley Cannons. As if the Weasleys need to own more of the team." He snuggled up to Draco, "I'm tired. Lets go to our rooms."
"Sure Adder, you were really brave." He scooped up his tiny lover and went to carry him back to their rooms.
Amelia watched Harry go, "He's an intriguing lad. Giving his friends all of his Winnings to finance their dream. I wonder why…"
"He used George's potion to accomplish the Second Task. Fred helped teach him how to swim." Remus said softly. "Besides, he sees Fred and George as big brothers and he loves them dearly. They are always looking out for him…"
Amelia smiled, "You two are lucky to have a friend like Harry Potter." The tiny scared little boy who had been in her court room years ago was a brave person, she should go back and look at this memory. It would most likely support Harry Potter's claim that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was back…
Fred lifted the limp body of his twin, "We know. We're his friend because he needs us to protect him. There are times when he takes care of us though." They only had about thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles and three Knuts in their savings give or take a Galleon or two. Now they had a lot more then that…they were bloody rich! Harry was going to be a partner whether he wanted to or not…

Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Outstanding? Troll?
What do you think? Voila the first duel between Harry and Voldemort! Did i do it justice? It's a bit similiar to the original rebirth but I enjoyed wrestling it to completion as well as changing it. I had to let him come back, so don't hate me for. I have plans...
Yay over a 100 reviews!
