A/N Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine. This is a story from a fan.
Harry appeared in front of the maze as his hands were around Cedrick. The first person that was with him was Albus the second was Fudge. Harry did the one thing he had to do and screamed, "HE IS BACK VOLDEMORT IS BACK".
Albus didn't say a thing he only turned his head around and smile as he whispered yes before his face turned into one of concern and back to Harry. Fudge who had heard Harry scream jumped up. "No he isn't back, you are lying, that cant be".
(BSC 4 C38) C125, Just when you need him one.
Emma saw Augusta rushing towards the house and knew that Harry was back at Hogwarts. With only two steps she was back at the monitor and the microphone where she screamed ~Harry is back, GO, GO, GO~. She then turned to the flare gun and emptied it, knowing that every pureblood that was at the cemetery would look up because they had never seen anything like it before.
*#*
When the voice of Emma sounded through all the earpieces they all knew what to do. Sirius was the first to throw a spell that hit nothing but air. He knew he could clearly hit every one of them and he even had a clear shot at the snake. Still, they could not do it yet. When he saw Lucius he could not control himself and hit the tombstone just left of his head. He wasn't allowed the hit him but he was allowed to make his life flash before his eyes. He could even see one of the shards of the gravestone hitting Lucius in the head.
Jean Delacour who was standing on the other side of the cemetery did exactly the same as Serius. Only he didn't go after a Death Eater but right after Voldemort himself. Emma had just fired off the flares. Voldemort looked up in surprise and Jean fired off a spell that only went an inch over his head.
When Voldemort looked up he not only saw a light in the sky but also a spell that not only lighted up the sky but also the light in his eyes. That spell was so damn close and he knew it. His eyes were going all over but the only thing he saw were spells coming their way.
Sirius could see how all the DeathEaters were searching for a place to hide Just to see what they had to do. While he looked around he knew that they could not be seen. It was then that he got an Idea to scare all the Death Eaters enough to get them out of there. "ALRIGHT MEN, I KNOW YOU CAN'T SEE THEM BUT JUST KEEP ON FIRERING. THE CHAMPIONS WERE TAKEN HERE AND WE HAVE TO GET ANYONE WE GET. THE AURORS ARE ON THERE WAY SO JUST KEEP ON FIRING, WE MIGHT GET LUCKY" Sirius screamed from the top of his lungs.
Everyone understood what Sirius had screamed and started to fire their spells all over the place. They weren't hiding anything but that was the point.
Voldemort Heard the words and was highly convinced they could not see him and that they didn't have a clue at all that he was back. So the best thing he could do now was to get out of there and to remain a secret for now and for as long as he wanted. "Get Out Of Here Now" Voldemort screamed at his Death Eaters.
As spells kept on flying over the heads a lot of pops were heard all over the cemetery as Death Eaters were escaping from every corner.
Jean Delacour and the others were contiuing with their firing of spells for another minute just to make sure that everyone had escaped. Slowly they were making their way down the street and on to the cemetery. It was clear that everyone had escaped and that all the evidence was saved. As Sirius stepped through the gate he turned to Jean. "Thank you, Jean. And you too, Minister, but I think it is time for you to get back. There will be chaos at Hogwarts so now is the time for you to slip in unnoticed.
While Sirius was talking to Jean, Kingsly and Gwendolin were already placing muggle repelling wards around the cemetery. They knew they could take all the pictures but they were not allowed to disrupt anything before Amelia had seen it for herself and that would be tomorrow morning if they were lucky.
Dan who was repelled by the anti-muggle ward went back to the house together with Andromeda and the wife of the Bulgarian minister. He knew that Amelia had something he could wear so he could go onto the cemetery but that was something she would bring for him when she came tomorrow. Now however he had to get back to his wife and see what they had recorded on the computer.
When they entered that little house Dan could see that Emma was already doing all she could. What she was saying was something they didn't know but it was clear that it weren't nice things she was saying. It didn't take Dan long to know that the computers had recorded more not than they had. The only hope they had left was that the memory cards in the cameras had recorded it all, even if they were almost sure they hadn't. While Dan placed himself next to his wife he too started to check all of the files the computer had recorded just to see if they could piece it all together as one big story.
Jean and the Bulgarian minister walked into the house and looked at all the muggle things that were placed all over. They had gotten a little gaze earlier that night but now they had a little more time to take a good look. They didn't have a clue of what it was but Andromeda had told them they could come back in the summer and she, together with Emma would explain it all to them. However, there was no time now so they had to get back just to see what was happening at Hogwarts.
*#*
Harry was lying on the grass and clutching his arm to his chest. He was still holding on to Cedrick with his other arm. When he had said that Voldemort had come back he could see that Fudge didn't want to believe him at all. This could be a good thing so he just lay there holding on to his arm and Cedrick.
Fudge in the meantime was still saying to everyone that was listening that he who must not be named could not be back.
As Harry was lying there he was letting his gaze go over everyone that was standing around him. He was looking for any one of his friends because the one thing he wanted was to get to his aunt Poppy for some help. He was hurting and he trusted no other than his aunt.
*#*
It was because of all the people around him that no one had seen Mad-eye walking towards him. None of them knew that he was the fake one so they didn't see anything wrong when he grabbed Harry around the shoulder. It was because of that action that Harry dropped his wand.
Harry hadn't seen a thing before he felt a hand around his shoulder. he looked around but the person that was next to him was holding his head so close that he could not see who it was. He had an idea but he wasn't sure. Harry stumbled along when he was pushed to towards the castle. He was so tired that he couldn't even fight it. The maze he had gone through and the fight had done more to him that he would have liked. They had decided that he had to stay weak just to let Voldemort think that he wasn't trained or anything. But he had to give his all just to survive the beating Voldemort was giving him. Harry knew one thing for sure. All the training they had done wasn't enough and they had to train harder and longer next year.
^Grandmother. I'm forced to go somewhere in the castle. I don't know where I'm Going or with who. I can not see his face but I know that it is a man^ Harry screamed in his mind just before he felt something hitting his head as the lights went out.
*#*
Minerva who was still sitting in the tent with Poppy Looked up and straight at the entrance of the tent. "Harry is in trouble I have to go and help him," she said to Poppy before she rushed out of the tent.
*#*
Daphne and Bella were standing behind the group of people that had surrounded themselves around Harry. They had seen how he appeared with the body of Cedrick but before they could get to him they were pushed back by the crowd that had surrounded themselves around Harry. They did not realize it but the first person that pushed them back had been Albus himself.
So they looked around the group but were again pushed back by all the adults that wanted to get closer. They felt hand after hand pushing them further and further away.
"NO MY BOY, THAT IS MY BOY, HE HAS KILLED MY BOY. sounded the voice of Amos Diggory.
The scream was heard by everyone and it sent shivers down their backs. It was clearly a scream from a Father that had just lost his meaning of life. The only thing Daphne and Bella didn't understand were the words he killed my boy. But the first thought they had was Harry, he could not mean Harry, could he. With that thought in their minds, they went back to their other friends. While the others of House Hogwarts stood by them they watched as the crowd around Harry kept on growing and growing.
Slowly all the adults were pushing the students out of the way. Many of them didn't know what had happened and just went back to their seats. Bella and Daphne, on the other hand, knew because they had heard it all in their minds.
^Grandmother. I'm forced to go somewhere in the castle. I don't know where I'm Going or with who. I can not see his face but I know that it is a man^.
Both Bella and Daphne looked at each other. Bella didn't have to ask what Daphne was thinking because she could see it clearly in her eyes. The moment she opened her mouth Daphne did the same and together they screamed: "Mad-eye the fake one and he has Harry".
All their friends were standing around them but none of them had seen how house Hogwarts had also made their way to them. "Who is the fake Mad-eye, and why do you say he got Harry," Luna asked from the side of Daphne who almost jumped a foot in the air.
After a moment of silent debate between the five friends Susan nodded and started to explain about last year and what the fake Mad-eye had to do with it. All of the house of Hogwarts were listening to all Susan was saying. Some of them knew that Susan was keeping a lot out of the story but not what. At the end, Susan told them that the fake Mad-eye had taken Harry somewhere into the castle but they didn't know where.
It didn't take the members of house Hogwarts long to ask what they could do to help.
Before any of the friends could say anything Neville took the attention and in a clear voice, he said. "Alright, we going to do this. Daphne and Bella will go to the office of the fake Mad-eye. It might be a long shot but we have to do it. Hermione and I will be going to the dungeons because that is the darkest place in the castle and the best place to hide. Susan, you will go and hunt down Fred and George. You can ask them if they can find Harry in their own personal way. the rest of you will be going from top to bottom. Go in pairs and be safe. stunners first questions later".
Everyone nodded just before they started to run for the job they had to do.
It was only fifteen minutes later that Susan sends her patronus to tell them all that she had found Harry and where he was.
*#*
It was halfway into the castle that the fake Mad-eye let go of Harry. He had dragged him along for a little while after he had knocked him out. Now that he was starting to wake up again he let go of him and started to pull him along on his arm. At first, he saw that Harry was looking at him in a strange way and he could clearly see that he was about to do something. His look went from surprise to fear.
"Professor" Harry started. "He is back, Voldemort is back. Peter has killed Cedrick and now they are thinking that I did it". Harry had turned his look into one of fear. He hoped that he had fooled Mad-eye enough. The question that was going through his mind was if this was the real or the fake Mad-eye. He knew that his friends would try to capture him when he was in the maze, but he wasn't sure if they had succeeded. The one thing he knew was that his answer would tell him all he had to know.
"Offcours they are saying that Potter" this mad-eye spat. "My Lord wouldn't have wanted it any other way. To be honest I do not know why you are back or how you have done it. I really thought that my Lord would kill you right there on the spot when you got there. Now that you are here I'm going to do it for him and he will reward me enormously for it".
Harry now knew who it was and wanted to tell it all to his grandmother before the lights went out for a second time.
*#*
Every member of house Hogwarts was running all over the castle. every corner was looked at and every painting was asked if they had seen Harry anywhere. The answers, however, was always the same, "Sorry but we haven't seen them".
While everybody went left and right Susan went on the lookout for two redheads. When she came to the front of the castle she saw them walking into it at a fast pace. She followed them and found them in a room next to the entrance just before the great hall.
*#*
Daphne and Bella had been the first to rush away from the friends, they had also been the first to rush into the castle as they made their way to the office of the fake Mad-eye.
*#*
Susan didn't wait for a second as she rushed into the room after them. "George, Fred wait up" she screamed as she walked in. Both of the boys stopped and looked around. They had been watching the third task on the map and were now trying to hide it before they saw who it was. The thing they had seen were things they just hadn't understand at all.
"Hee Susan, good that you are here, we have been looking for your aunt," Fred said as George went on.
"We have been watching from the start, and we have seen things that aren't making any sents. we were going inside because everybody was starting to come towards us".
"OOO" Susan started. "Tell me, No, wait I need to know where Harry is first".
"Yeah, that is one of the things we don't get" Fred started.
"Harry is on his way to the second floor" George went on.
"With a guy called Barty but he was also in the judge's box" Fred stopped.
"Susan had to think for a little before she snapped her wand in her hand. "Expecto Patronum" she almost snapped. What followed were a lot of messages that went all over the castle and outside. "All right, Fred, George, Listen. My aunt is on her way here. I do not know if she will be here right away but she will be going to get Harry first. After it, she will be here to listen to you all. So just stay here and wait for her. I even think she will be bringing the minister but again I'm not sure off it".
Fred and George were looking at her a little weirdly. They still hadn't had a clue about the things that were happening around them but the knew what Harry and his friends had done for their sister so they believed her on her word. Their mother had been the reason why they had almost lost their sister to a Dark Lord and that was something they would never forget. The best had been Harry and his friends. With everything, they could have demanded from them or could have done to their family and sister, they had made it so that it was almost like it has always been. "Okay, but you have to tell us later on," they both said at the same time.
Susan nodded and rushed off to help her friends to get Harry. When she arrived at the steps to the second floor she saw Neville and Hermione coming from the bottom one. They were followed by the others of house Hogwarts who came rushing to them from all directions. "You all go back to the common room," Susan said as she kept on looking for Daphne and Bella who she didn't see among the members.
While the friends were looking at each other the members of house Hogwarts kept standing where they were. Susan turned to them and was about to say something when Luna spoke up. "No, we aren't going away. You all have been very secretive since the start of house Hogwarts last year. Now I know there will always be secrets but this is for Harry and House Hogwarts is here for all our members. So we are all here for Harry".
The friends all gazed at each other for another moment before Neville took the floor again. "Okay, let's do it like this" he started. "Harry has been taken by a fake Mad-eye or fake Professor. We will tell later what we can but not now. The life of Harry is hanging in the balance. Now we do not know what is going to happen to him but we fear the worse. Now that is something we do not want to happen so we are going to do this" and he looked at every one of them. "You all are going to divide yourself into two groups. one is going to stand on the left of the hallway and the other group on the right". It was now that he closed his mouth with a snap as he gazed up at the ceiling. He was doing something that was normally done by Harry. It was at this point that he was starting to doubt himself. Was he doing the right thing? Wasn't he putting them all in danger by doing this? How Did Harry do it all the time with this burden hanging over his head? the last part he was mumbling mostly to himself.
Hermione who had been standing close to him gave him a kiss on his cheek and very close to his ear as she whispered. "Harry would try to keep everyone as save as can be but he also knew he could not do it all the time".
Neville nodded as he gazed down. "What I'm asking you all to do can be dangerous, so if you do not want to do it we will not blame you. But I want a group to the left and another to the right of the hallway of his office. When anybody comes out of that office you stun them. I don't care who it is, just stun them all. If it is the headmaster then just stun him too. Better be save now we can say sorry later".
All of house Hogwarts nodded before they all rushed away.
It was at that point that Neville turned around and looked at his friends. "We are going inside to help Harry".
"NO, You are going to stand with the others while we will be going inside" sounded a voice from behind them.
*#*
Harry opened his eyes slowly as he let his eyes wander around the room. He was in an office but he didn't know who's. His mind started to clear and he remembered that he had escaped from Voldemort. But also that he was taken from the grounds by Mad-eye, the fake Mad-eye. He saw him sitting to his left with his back turned towards him. He could not see clearly from the pain he had in his head. To his right, he saw two shapes lying on the floor. He could not see them clearly but he knew who they were. When he heard a moan coming from them he knew that he was right. Next to him were Daphne and Bella.
*#*
Let's go back for ten minutes or so.
Harry was pulled along by the fake Mad-eye.
"Come, boy, we do not have much time before I have to go away myself".
"Professor, I think I have to go to the medical tent first" Harry tried to say just so he could get to his grandmother and his aunt Poppy. But the thump on the back of his head made him lose his consciousness.
Mad-eye opened the door to the castle and dragged Harry inside. As he dragged him through the hallway he could see that he started to wake up again. "Professor" Harry started. "He is back, Voldemort is back. Peter has killed Cedrick and now they are thinking that I did it".
"Offcours they are saying that Potter" this mad-eye spat. "My Lord wouldn't have wanted it any other way. To be honest I do not know why you are back or how you have done it. I really thought that my Lord would kill you right there right on the spot when you got there. Now that you are here I'm going to do it for him and he will reward me enormously for it". Mad-eye raised his staff he had in his hand and whacked Harry over the head for a second time that night.
Harry started to wake up again just when he was pushed inside the office. There he tripped over his own feet and stumbled to the desk where he hit the side off it with the side of his own head making his lights go out for the third time.
Mad-eye looked at Harry as he wondered how he got away from his lord. This boy wasn't so tough at all, as he saw it. With his wand, he lifted him up to a chair and bound him to a chair.
After he had bound Harry to a chair he started to walk circles around his office thinking of what to do next. He could kill Harry first, after it, he would use his emergency Portkey so he could get out of there taking the body of Harry with him. A Portkey he got from Albus himself. After he had done that, he would lay low for a day before he would apparate to his Lord.
The first thing he had to do now was to get all of his stuff together. He would take it all so they had nothing left to help them to find him. It was something he had to do quickly because he knew that they would be coming for him and also because he was out of polyjuice potion. The last bit he had taken almost an hour ago.
When he placed the last of his things in his bottomless bag he let the magical eye of Mad-eye go over the room and through the walls. he knew that he had to leave it behind because he could not use it anymore but he was sure going to miss it. a lot of seven years looked very healthy with that eye. He was about to pull it off his head when he saw two girls sneaking their way to his office. he waited until they were standing in front of his door and then he blasted them to the wall on the other side, knocking them out completely as he watched them slid down the wall. With another wave of his wand, he levitated them into the office where he repaired his door. As a smirk started to grow on his face he realized that a life Harry Potter was even a greater present than a dead one. So as Harry started to wake up again his smirk grew wider.
He took a seat and turned his back to Harry keeping his magical eye pointing through the back of his head. He could hear one of the girls starting to also wake up but he had them bound and he had their wands, so he wasn't really worried about them. He watched Harry for a little while before he spoke up. "So Harry Potter, tell me How was it to be in the shadow of the great Dark Lord. Can you really feel his magic when it is radiating from his body"?
The fake Mad-eye would never know the answer from, Harry because he heard the words Bombarda Maxima. The only thing he could see was the door that flew of its hinges and it slammed right into him making him one with the wall.
*#*
Okay, Sorry but we are going to go back again for just a little bit.
"NO, You are going to stand with the others while we will be going inside" sounded the voice of Minerva from behind them. She was closely followed by Isabella and Albus. Neville frowned by the side of Albus but it turned into disgust when he saw Severus walking behind them.
*#*
Back to the cemetery from the side of Lucius.
Lucius had gotten the call on his left arm and had to hide his smile. His Lord was back and finally, it would all be good again. When he arrived he could feel the gaze of his Lord. He watched him walk around and tell them what they all had known. The mark had never left their skin so they had to know he wasn't dead.
As he watched on he could see how his Lord started to duel the pest. At first, he wasn't sure but it did seem like the boy was dueling his Lord to a standstill. He knew it wasn't true but it did look like it. He wanted to help him but his Lord had told them NO. So he did what all the Death Eaters did and that was to watch on. Then there was the one curse he had waited for and his Lord just threw it at the little shit. Finally there it was and now he was going to see him die.
Still, that brat threw a spell back and it collided with the one of his Lord. It was a fight of will and his Lord was loosing. Potter kept on standing and fighting the one person who could have killed him. He was fighting for his life and he was still standing after five minutes. It was then that a little voice inside his head told him that Potter could win this. He did not want to hear it but it started to shout at him. So he started to hiss at himself that his Lord was going to win. He was only toying with Potter.
Suddenly there was a wall of magic. He and the others could not see through it but he could hear his Lord screaming. Then he saw something that was clearly the confirmation for him. His Lord broke the connection ready to battle on but the brat made a run for it and disappeared with the body of the other champion.
*#*
Voldemort was breathing heavily as he gazed around himself and to the Death Eaters that were standing around him. Internally he was cursing himself that he had been playing with Potter. The first thing he had to do was kill him right there right away. It would have shown him as the leader he was. But he had to prove that he was the Dark Lord for a reason and this boy had only won because of luck and old magic.
In the distance, he heard the apperation sound of someone apporating. In the air he saw a red ball of fire and then suddenly spells were flying everywhere. None were hitting them but the seam to get closer. Lucius was almost hit and then he heard screaming that they had to fire even if they didn't see them. It was then that he knew it. One of the spells flew by his head and he could feel the magic going passed him. So he ordered everyone to get out of there right now and right away.
*#*
"NO, You are going to stand with the others while we will be going inside" sounded the voice of Minerva from behind them.
Neville wanted to say something but kept his mouth when he saw the look from Minerva. As Minerva rushed past him he could see that she was followed by Lucius Malfoy. he wasn't sure but he would have thought that he would be in the graveyard with his Dork lord.
Minerva hadn't seen the look of Neville as she had kept on walking. She knew what was happening and also where her cub was. She had heard it all in the flashes of consciousness her cub had. She was rushing to the door while the others were following her. She didn't wait and before she was close enough she blasted the door off its hinges with a well-placed extremely overpowered Bombarda.
The office door was thrown to the other side of the room where it broke in thousands of pieces. As her foot stepped into the room, she yelled. "Solar Flash". The flash of light was so strong that it not only lighted up the room but also a big part of the hallway on the outside. She did not know if the fake Mad-eye was still inside. She also didn't know where her cub would be. However, with this, she knew that whoever survived the bombarded they would be blinded by the light for at least twenty minutes. She had closed her own eyes and when she opened them she could see the garnish she had made. The girls were on the ground and her cub was sitting in a chair. The fake Mad-eye was covered in splinters from the door.
For a moment she turned around and took a look at everybody that had been behind her. It was then that she had to hide a giggle. Everyone who had been directly behind her were stumbling all over the hallway. She gave a full belly laugh when she saw Albus walking straight into the wall.
With her hand, she took the arm of a blinded Isabella and guided her into the office and to an evenly blinded Harry. She told them to stay and wait for the blindness to wear off. She stood and went on to do the things she had to do now.
So she lifted up the fake Mad-eye and placed him in the chair where she bound him to it. As she turned again and saw Albus stumbling her way. she just could not help herself and turned him around with a burst of her own magic just to see him walk into the wall again and again like a fly on the window. She turned back again and saw that the fake Mad-eye had packed everything. the only thing Minerva was wondering was how he was planning to get away from it all. It was then that she saw a kind of amulet lying on the desk. As she placed her own hand in her pocket she felt the same amulet that was lying on the desk. ^Albus, you old fool. How can you give him a portkey^? It was then she crushed it and turned to Albus but closed her mouth immediately.
Slowly the vision of the people started to return. Albus was the closest to the door and took over as he started to direct everyone around him. "Yes, I knew there was a secret agent under us I just never knew who it was. Now he is showing himself while he is trying to take Harry away from here" he said like had been on it for the last year.
Harry who could now see like everybody else rolled with his eyes and gazed up at his grandmother. He was slowly getting upset by the thing Albus was doing now and he didn't like one bit of it. ^If it is up to me we go right now. The only thing the old goat can do now is to tell the other asses^.
Minerva nodded and was about to take Harry away just when the Fake Mad-eye started to change back. She stopped and looked at the fake Mad-eye just like everyone else and saw him turning into Bartemius Crouch Junior. Most were shocked but Harry just gazed on with hate in his eye. This had been one of the persons that really had tortured the parents of Neville and his godmother.
"Come, Harry, we are going to take you to Poppy. it is about time you are looked after" Minerva called out clearly.
"NOOO" sounded the voice of Albus. "Harry has to stay here, he has to know why all of this is happening to him".
Minerva gazed at Albus as her lips became smaller than they had ever been as she was starting to find a reply to it. ^Harry, I think we have to stay a little longer. No one except Isabella, you and I know what has happened tonight. Fudge doesn't want to believe you and I think it has to be like that^.
Harry just nodded as Minerva started to answer Albus about his remark. "Albus, I do not think that Harry has to bere for this. Harry has been through enough while we have been waiting for them to come back". Minerva knew that Albus would not listen to her, but she had to do like she was really trying to get her cub away from here.
"No, Minerva," Albus said again as he turned to Severus Snape. "Severus get the Veritaserum so we can found out what happened today".
Severus nodded as he started to walk away from the office.
*#*
Lucius was still breathing deeply as he hid just outside the door. He was thinking back to the graveyard. When Potter disappeared he waited for his master to tell them what to do. When they were attacked he had to hide behind a tombstone just when a spell collided just an inch from his face. A piece of stone slammed into his face and he was sure he was bleeding. As his master called for a retreat he almost stumbled in surprise before he took a port key away.
When he got back to the gates of Hogwarts he realized that he had just escaped certain death. He shook it off and went inside. As he walked down the path he rubbed his lower left arm. He was still thinking about the fight of his Lord with Potter. His doubt was fading as a smile grew on his face. His Lord was back and the time to put it all right again was here and it was now. The more he thought about it the more he realized that his Lord had just come back. He had been weak because of his return. There was no way he could have beaten Potter like that, but he wanted to show them he was back. He had done that and he had done that by placing more spells on him then Lucius had ever seen anyone do before. No, the doubt was gone, give his Lord a week and he would be sweeping the floor with the head of that Potter.
His mind came back to the point he had gotten back to the castle. As Lucius started to walk down the path that led to the Castle itself he looked around him. He could see a whole lot of people standing in one place. He could not be sure but he was almost a hundred percent that it was that Potter brat. If it was him then he would be telling them all about the return of his Lord. A little to the right of the group he could see Fudge talking to Amelia. It was probably about that Potter. Again his thoughts went to the fact that Potter had told them about his Lord. what did surprise him was that Mad-eye was taking Harry into the castle, and by the way he looked he could clearly see that Potter was out of it. He looked around himself to see if he saw Minerva anywhere but he didn't and that made him a Little suspicious. He didn't know why but Minerva and Potter were never seen without each other and when they were, you could bet that the other would never be far away.
It surprised him even more that no one was following them. Sure Potter would have been hurt so he would be taking him up to the infirmary. But to see Mad-eye dragging him like a ragdoll was something that just didn't sound right. So his gaze started to go over the ground to all the key players that were there. Albus was talking with the minister of Bulgaria and the minister of France. Minerva was with her group of blood traitors.
When his eyes found the group of Friends that were always around potter he saw that something was definitely wrong with Potter. they weren't reacting either and they would never let him go alone especially that Figg Girl or that Greengrass girl. It was not far away from the group of friends that he saw the others of House Hogwarts standing together. He knew who they were from the spying of his son Draco. Too bad he could not hear what they were saying because they were still too far away. The one thing he was sure of seeing was that they were up to something.
Lucius let them be as his eyes went searching for Fudge. He didn't know what Potter had told him or what he believed but he had to do something to help his Lord. He had to because he had let his Lord down and his punishments were extremely painful or even death. He had been wandering around for almost fifteen minutes when he spotted him standing alone with Umbridge at his side. So with another sweep of his eyes, he could not see any of the House Hogwarts or the friends of Potter. But he did see Minerva walking into the Castle at a high speed. Right behind her were Albus and Severus. Right behind them were all the blood traitors Minerva was associating herself with. When he saw Isabella walking between them he knew that this was it.
He rushed after them because he knew they had found the spy of his Lord. There was no way around it and he had to see what he could do to help him escape. He didn't know what but he could think of a way as he went after them. Lucius had to run to keep up and to get closer as he gazed around himself just to see where they were going. Slowly he knew it and got closer with every stair went up or down or with every corridor he went through. Then in the one corridor, he needed he saw the friends of Potter standing on one side and the Hogwarts house on the other. He went passed them just as Minerva stood in front of the door. He heard a big band and a flash of light so bright it blinded him a little.
Lucius had been lucky that he had closed his eyes on the right moment and could see that everyone around him was dazed. So he took his chance and slipped closer to the door to take a peek inside as the others were stumbling around him. When he came to the door he could see that bitch of a Greengrass sitting next to Harry while Minerva was tying up Mad-eye. The moment everybody got into the office he stood by the door looking in. He had to gasp just like the rest of them when he saw Little junior. He had been one of his fellow members of the inner circle and he had a real sadistic way of punishing people.
Veritasirum.
It was like a smack in the face when Lucius heard that word. They could not use it on him. If they did they would know it all and his Lord would not be save to regain his strength. He had to do something and he had to do it now.
As Snape walked out of he thought about all he could do. When Severus got back he just had to stand there as Bartemius Crouch Junior told them all of how he had helped to get Potter into the tournament. How he had done everything to get Potter to the end and away from here to another Death Eater that would help them getting their Lord back. To his delight, he heard that Bartemius Crouch Junior Had seen his Lord in the form of a misformed baby but he didn't know where he was or how he would come back.
Bartemius Crouch Junior told on as he talked about all he had done in the tournament. He even told them that he had told the Merpeople that there would be a Veela in the lake during the task. Just to make sure that the Veela would die there in the lake. But it didn't work. He told them about how he had freed the dragon and how he had Imperius Viktor to attack the other champions. The last thing he did was to show the dark mark on his arm.
Lucius stood with his jaw hanging on the floor when he told him about the blood that was used from Potter, but especially the way Albus grabbed the arm and pulled it towards him. He could still see the blood dripping from the wound.
"Severus you will stay here as I go and get Fudge and Umbridge. Minerva, you take Harry to Poppy and keep him there until I come to you. I will see you all back here in thirty minutes" Albus said as he rushed out of the office.
