AN: More updates for you :D
Sorry this one is a kinda all over the place.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Over the next 3 days Harry and Viktor became even better friends seeing as the medical matron wasn't letting either boy out of bed much less out of her ward. Felur was able to leave at noon the next day only because her arm had healed quicker than normal thanks to her vela heritage. While the 2 of them chatted and lazed in the hospital wing there was nothing calm about the outside world.
Just after Harry and Viktor had been spelled to sleep by Madame Pomfrey, Moody attacked. Cedric was walking Hanna and Susan back to Hufflepuff after getting away from the dragon lady with strict orders to rest so his cuts and bruises could heal. He was hoping Cho would help him apply the salves Pomfrey had given him to those hard to reach places.
They had just descended the stairs to the second floor when they were all waylaid. "Diggory." Professor moody called. "Come here boy. Bring the girls along I'd like to have a chat."
The 2 students were emotionally drained and just wanted to go have a nap but they did as their teacher asked. They followed Moody into his office. It wasn't till they heard the click of the doors lock that the 3 knew something was up.
"Professor?" Hannah asked with a bit of fear warbling her voice.
Moody's tongue flicked out. "I'd rather have that damable brat but you 3 will do nicely." HE gave a wicked smile. "Oh my master will have quite a bit of fun with you three. Sending pieces back to the Potter brat for all his insults. To claim me as his enemy, to dare call me weak willed." The obviously deranged professor rambled.
"But Harry never said anything about you Professor." Susan replied trying to stay calm. Hoping that help would come soon.
Fred and George were taking the distraction of the tournament ending to set up a few farewell pranks for the end of the year. They were just about to place one of the final bits and were consulting in the map when they noticed something odd.
Bratamus Crouch was in Professor Moody's office. The twins looked at each other then back to the map again. Mr. Crouch had gone missing not long after the end of the second task and hadn't been seen or heard from since. Some even thought Harry's harsh and public comment had driven the man to end his life.
This oddity coupled with the location and the presents of their 3 friends had the twins heading to the professors office. Just as they were about to knock there was a scream from inside.
George shoved the door open so Fred, who had the better accuracy, could fire. What they saw was Cedric on the ground blood already pooling under him, Hannah at his side trying to help in any way she could. And Susan with her wand out.
Susan and Fred fired spells at almost the same instant. Moody dodged both attacks but his return fire on Susan was also dodged. Even three on one the teens were having trouble keeping up with their professor. But the shouts and heavy spell fire soon attracted attention. A group of students including Collin, 2 of Viktors Bulgarian friends and the Delacroix family that were going up to check on the wounded students happened by. Collin jumped in defending his friends right away. Gabby tried to join him but her mother snatched the eight year old up before she could run in with nothing but her bare hands. Mr. Delacroix and the Bulgarian students also came to their aid. They didn't know why a teacher was attacking 5 students but that didn't really matter.
Once the man was restrained Mr. Delacroix cast a truth spell on him and asked what he thought he was doing attacking children.
"They are a gift for my master!" the deranged man raved as Hannah and the Bulgarian's took Cedric back to the hospital wing.
"I think he's working for Voldemort." Susan said panting. "Collin go find my Aunty." She asked the young boy. He took Gabby with him just to keep her safe from the mad man.
"Susan that can't be." Fred said
"Yeah." George added, "HE hunts dark wizards."
"I know what I heard." She replied. The now raving man being ignored.
IT wasn't long before Madame Bones, Sirius and a half dozen reporters returned. Madame Bones had just enough time to come over to Susan and see if she was alright when the Polyjuice began wearing off. A couple of the reporters were lucky enough to get a photo of the change one, which would be the next mornings headlines, clearly showed Moody's full transformation into Crouch JR.
Crouch was arrested again and an attack quickly planned on the dark lords supposed hide out. But due to one of the many leaks the man was already gone. Crouch was sentenced to the veil of death after Amelia had pumped him for information. The evidence she collected at the graveyard and what was found at the Riddle Mansion was more than enough proof the dark lord had really returned. This news saw the current minister not only resigning but also fleeing the country.
His son being put in mortal danger, so severe he had to be transferred to St. Mungos, saw Amos Diggory running for and being elected the next minister of magic. Amelia was a good friend to him so he had no issues working with her to try and combat what they both realized was going to be another magic civil war.
While all this was going on the students at Hogwarts were having a hard time focusing on their end of year exams. But the last few days of the school stills passed quickly. Many of the scores were sure to fall but the teachers had much bigger issues on their minds. Some were morbidly, but realistically, wondering how many of their students would survive the second rise of the dark lord. While a select few were wondering when their master would summon them to his side. One Severus Snape was more worried than most. He knew his animosity with the Potter brat and his long hatred of Black and Lupin would severely limit his spying abilities. He was left deciding if running or staying would increase his life expectancy.

Through all of this Harry wasn't frightened he was more angry. Three of his friends had been targeted and 6 were attacked by one of the death eaters. He was plotting ways to destroy Tom. No one threatened his family and got away with it.
Seeing Susan and the twins injured defending Cedric really brought home just how much he cared for these people. So on the last day of school Harry gathered all his friends, Felur and Viktor included, down in the chamber and told them his greatest secret.
Most of them were beyond shocked at hearing about these overly vivid dreams he'd had all his life. The muggleborn among them were very interested in Harry's descriptions of Heaven, and the angel infrastructure.
"So Archangels are created out of clouds and the night sky?" Hermione asked having a hard time believing some of what Harry was saying. Her family were Catholic so she had grown up with the stories of the bible. Her parents had a hard time with magic at first due to their religion but had quickly decided that if it was Gods will for her to have this powers then who were they to say other wise.
"Basically." Harry replied.
"So who'd the oldest?" Hannah asked. "I mean out of the Archangels."
"That would be Michael. He was made first, as a warrior to protect the earth. Then Ariel, Lucifer, then myself followed by Gabriel. Not a century after Gabriel, Raphael was created to protect the tree of knowledge from another demon attack." Harry explained
"So as a new job opened up this... God just created an Archangel to fill it?" Cedric asked a bit confused with the whole concept.
"Pretty much and most of them are far older than man kind. Uriel and Haniel are the only 2 archangels younger then man. Haniel was created not long after the fall of Eden to help man see the beauty in the harsh world they now found themselves in. Uriel is the youngest created in a fit of rage by Father at the actions of man. She is the one who went against fathers wishes and gave Noah a warning before she flooded the earth. After the flood Father was saddened that he had ordered such destruction of his own creations and vowed to never be so direct with mankind again." Harry told them. Raguel had refused to punish Uriel for her disobedience, for he agreed with her actions.
"That's a very different telling of that tale but Harry how do you keep everyone strait?" Dean asked.
"I don't know. It just comes easily to me. Keeping my... the angels strait is simple to me. They are all so different." Harry replied.
They spent the rest of the day listening to various tales of the heavenly host. Through out the entire evening Luna was oddly silent.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
The last few days of classes passed in a blur the group split their time between enjoying the sunshine, quidditch and listening to Harry's tales of heaven.
The two visiting schools left the day before the Hogwarts express. By that time Amos Diggory was sworn in and the DMLE was already moving toward a war footing. The minister had yet to declare them at war but everyone was sure that declaration would come before the next school term. Not surprising to some his biggest opposition was Albus Dumbledore.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Due to all the activity and reforms moving through the ministry under Amos' heading meant Amelia was often busy at work. Susan therefore was spending more of her time away from home. That was very fortunate when the Bones home was burned to the ground during the second week of July. Amelia was beyond pissed off. Instead of cowing her as the Death Eaters expected it made her come after them even more viciously. Susan and her ended up all but moving into the Longbottom Manor, since the ancient building had foiled Voldemort once.
To get the children away from the tense environment Petunia and Vernon took all the kids, Cedric and Cho included to France to spend some time at the beach and meet up with the Delacroix family. They also traveled to visit Viktor and even stayed a week in Romania visiting the dragons used in the first task as well as Charlie Weasley. For that week the Weasley family joined them. Over the year Ron and Harry had gotten on better. They would never be the best of friends but Ron was no longer the parish of Gryffindor.
