Chapter 2: Prisoner Reveals And The Truth Comes Out II
"But my nickname, as a Marauder heir, was Bambi, so based on that is dad was a stag, me, I'm a fawn." I said and she chuckled and nodded. "I understand, so you're knowing everything, what really happened, how it happened and why. That we got it wrong, just because Black looks it, doesn't mean that he was." she said and I nodded. "Exactly, I love my uncles, with everything in me, knowing Peter is a traitor, that hurts here."
"And I'm being honest, but as a muggleborn, we have a rule here, of never judging a book by it's cover, so you ever read the book The Outsiders?" I asked and she nodded. "There's your example now, the narrator and his gang looked dangerous, but they're not. While their rival gang, don't look dangerous and they are, Severus, Remus, the Renfield pack. Sirius and Hagrid all look it, but they would never hurt anyone."
"While the Death Eaters, though they cleaned up their act, never gave it up, even someone as innocent looking like Peter. Said can, in truth, be looking like a cold blooded murderer." I said and she nodded sternly. "Yes and I agree with you, they don't deserve a second chance right, after they tortured or slaughtered hundreds of innocent lives." she said, as her editor crossed his arms and nodded in agreement to that opinion then gently at the question then.
"But I just got the news, Sirius Black escaped, only he's not after me at all." I said and she nodded. "Who is he after then?" she asked and I said it. "I know this sounds odd, but trust me I am not lying here, my dad's quartet, are animagi and a werewolf. Dad, Sirius and Peter are animagi, before anyone wonders, dad and Sirius were registered. Under the Auror office, so no one outside the Magical M16 knew they were animagi."
"Now for those of you that don't know what M16 is, they're the British Intelligence Agency, the Americans call their own the Central Intelligence Agency. Like a code key, that enables you to unlock their secrets, only our version, as magicals. Resulted in a backfire, one that killed 15 people, in thinking that he would be the obvious choice. To force the truth out, going on record, he and my father are practically brothers here."
"They switched at the last minute, Peter is the secret keeper." I said and they nodded in shock. "Sirius was coming back from the store, after going shopping, mum and I came back from trick or treating, it's muggle candy collecting. In going from door to door in the neighbors here, and she just got me in bed now too. Before the attack happened now, upon seeing the mess, and my parents dead, he realized what happened here."
"Got me out of the house, and went looking for him, dad told him, if he turned us in, then arrest and bring him in. Tracking him to said block, Peter shouted that Sirius did it, destroyed a gas main, on the block. Said in killing the muggles, only those muggles are clones, from the real victims, cut his finger off, and escaped into the sewer." I said and they nodded in shock. "I never saw that coming." she said, writing that down then.
"Sirius was innocent all this time, for both, but under careful recall I learned this, Peter was capable of murder. From the time he was 15, and this is coming from Remus too, though I hadn't seen him since I was a baby. So though getting on each other's cases alot, dad, Sirius and Remus, were not crossing the line. But Peter, being the rat he was, did, as using the imperio curse, he suggested now."
"That Severus Snape go to the tree, the night of a full moon, it was only by my mother asking where he was, Dad realized it. And went running out and prevented it, though just barely, before Remus saw Severus and lost it." I said and she nodded in shock at the news. "Dad was a stag, Sirius a Deerhound, they were good at keeping Remus in check, when they had me, Remus took one look at me 3 months after and Mooney."
"That's his wolf, imprinted on me, so the following 10 months, only I could control him now in truth here, at this age, once he sees me, he's going to know me on sight. As I look like dad, but like Dumbledore, Peter Pettigrew is a sneaky, under achieving. Little rat, who, like his real appearance counterpart here, has a taste for blood. But to anyone that knows: is to see a rat, is to kill a rat, and he's human sized one here."
"So for any owls that want a smorgasbord now, they can have him, if he phases back in the common room, but to me, it's one chance mercy. The next time I see him, it's the dementor's kiss." I said and she nodded. "I understand, who knows how many other Order families he sold out, now, that you're the last. That you should be the one, to call judgement, before Lord Crouch does it: that trial." She said and I nodded gently.
"I know, but after two years, of dangerous adventures now, I'm taking this round off, and spending more time with my girlfriend, more time studying. And more time preparing for the house Quidditch cup, but I need you to understand this. Dumbledore is not who he shows himself to be, behind that grandfatherly expression. Is a cold blooded murderer, he's crossed the line from good to so good, he's turned into him."
"Of the lightside, his Order are the same thing, based on the 'he said, he thinks, he believes' excuses here, they've crossed over and become Death Eaters. Of the light side, what he sees as necessary evils, for the greater good, to us are heinous crimes. But after two years worth of pain, and 10 years abandonment, the only ones being straight and honest with me, are the ministry, I just got the truth, he sealed it."
"Severus himself as well, and with my taking the extra curricular classes, my own kind are all muggleborns, adult ones now." I said and the said smiled gently. "But though I'm a wizard, I'm 3/4's muggleborn, that my own kind are the very people. I swore to protect, from the persecution and tyranny, of the Supremacists Purebloods. The very people he seems to think deserve a second chance, when they don't deserve it at all."
"He sealed my parents will, I was never supposed to go to my aunt, but to Sirius Black, Alice Longbottom, Edgar Bones. Daniel Granger, or Alexandra Kessler, who is the wife, of the werewolf David Kessler. Now under personal note here now, and some may ask here, that why am I forgiving them. Whoever put me in witness protection, when they got me targeted, well in truth, you can't hold a grudge forever here."
"And when said person, has spent 2 years protecting me from known Death Eaters right now, I learned this, never judge a book by its cover, he looks dangerous. That doesn't mean he is, just like Remus and Sirius, even Hagrid, look it right now. But doesn't mean they are, while Death Eaters, right now, don't look dangerous. But can't forget what they did, before the war ended, everyone." I said then and she smiled then.
"Master, if you're reading this later, I mean you in that sentence, remember said book, appearances can be deceiving, you look it, but you're reformed and retired. You're a teacher, a friend, if it was you, I forgive you, as I get it from you, without second hand." I said and I knew if Severus read that, he would have looked down, smiling. "I understand, so what are your plans, now that you stopped him twice more from returning exactly?" she asked and I sighed.
"Well now that I discovered the key to his power, I intend to destroy his power, by hunting down the others, before he dies at the third task. And of the tournament, I'm going undercover in the tournament, to, if Peter escapes next summer. Arrest him and whoever escaped with him, if you did the Durmstrang Headmaster trial. Then you know this, because I just found out, he's alive." I said and the editor dropped his notepad.
"Junior is alive?" she repeated and I nodded. "Yeah he's alive, and we're hunting him down too as well, so next year the devils are in the walls here. I'm the champion of the Auror Academy, we're nicknaming it the Potter Academy of Sorcery and Spells. And the Hogwarts Champion is Cedric Diggory now, now I'm saying this deliberately, but if my name comes put of that goblet, I never put my name, but since, in truth."
"There are two choices, compete or lose my magic, I'm going undercover to find out who caused the riot, and put my name in, as this is all a plot. To bring him back, and them to return to duty, so before they can attempt, I'm involved. As for the one inside me, there's a simple way to do that, but it means a magical version. And of what us muggles call lethal injection." I explained and she nodded gently then to the news then.
"After that's done, I'm free of the prophecy, but here's the other thing, he never wanted anyone to know, that to his deranged mind. To kill him completely, I have to die." I said and she nodded in shock. "Even after you destroyed them all, and killed him, he's convinced you have to die, to destroy him completely?!" she said in shocked fury. "Like I said, he's a schizophrenic." I said and she nodded sternly to that news then firmly.
"May I ask who this girlfriend is?" she asked and I nodded. "My bride to be is Ginevra Molly Weasley, daughter of Molly and Arthur Weasley, the debacle in the chamber. That changed us forever, we're now adult teenagers in our preteen and teenage bodies. But evidently everything this year comes back to him, after he learns here now. That I activated my position, break the rules: he's trying to get my scion position revoked."
"Arguing over why I added two hard classes, he doesn't want me too independent, start fighting over my dating Ginny, it's because my falling in love. Is a giant crimp to his plans for the greater good and because I have no reason to sacrifice myself. But I'm in love, and about to get my uncles back, and with it now, finishing my destiny. And 4 years sooner than he wanted here now." I said and she nodded sternly to the news.
"Well as the muggles say, I can shoot a call to Bathilda Bagshot to get everything on his past, pre Order Of The Phoenix, Harry." she said and I nodded. "Please do, because I want to know why he's so obsessed with me, as it's creeping me out. As I feel like, every time I'm alone with him, that he's a pedophile, that's a child molester." I said and she nodded firmly and Crouch crossed his arms, knowing he had to protect me now.
"As for school dynamics, this is going to every parent that are against Death Eaters, I need you to listen to me, Peter is hiding as someone's pet rat. But we have to make him think here, he's in the clear, so everyone tell your children, my peers. From my girlfriend's age group to this year graduating senior's now, everyone make normal. Do not give him any reason to turn dangerous and go human again, I'm still coming."
"But this year instead of adventures, I'm taking this year off and starting next, when our current second years's baby sibling's start. But honestly, I do not wish to talk about this anymore, regarding the truth, upon that which I realized. That a family friend betrayed my father, and that was why I lost my parents, but this is a me. Not a we situation, after I say this, no asking further questions please, everyone, in truth."
"To the school medical doctor, I'm in very fragile state, next year and fortunately we, us muggleborn raised, had clones to help with preventing further loss of life. So next year, in dealing with the tournament, my mistake of a tie game, never kills Cedric. We're getting him cloned, only the rat doesn't know this, and neither does the old fool right now, because, in getting his intention of completing the prophecy here now."
"He intends to sacrifice a muggle and 3 magicals for his greater good, only to me, this is cold blooded murder, sacrificing an on the edge graduating teenager. For his greater good, does that sound like the actions of a good man." I said and she shook her head sternly, in shocked disgust. "No, it sounds like the actions, of a raving lunatic right now, you're a kind hearted and caring young man, that to protect your friends this way."
"And alerting us to Peter, you go about it like this now, that's beyond courageous right now." she said and I nodded gently to her then. "But everyone to be honest here, is that it's time to choose sides now, but after the forest debacle last spring. I'm saying this: that putting your trust in Albus Dumbledore, is one a way ticket to an early grave. Trust me, he doesn't care about the students, all he cares about is his greater good."
"Even if that puts everyone endanger, doesn't matter, all for his grand design, well this chess piece just developed a mind of it's own. I'm free of his manipulations, I'm an MLE cadet now, and I will do what's best, for the prime directive. If no one understands that, it's a guiding principle of the SGA that prohibits. Now, its members from interfering with the natural development, say our's, with us trapped in 1901."
"Or just alien civilizations, even further behind us, but small bits to help them along, say offering a way to clone ourselves now. As we can, technologically, clone ourselves, we can mingle with muggles now finally too. And it's because everything we see they have, as magic, is really advanced technology here. The muggles, of the SGA, are our friends, they're good people, one of their acting colonels, in appearance to General."
"In our world is Professor Jeremy Addams, he's working at the Auror Academy during summers, but in truth here now. Compared to what purebloods think, the muggles are really kind hearted, but behind that muggle loving aspect. Appears to be, now, a muggle hater, though why, I've no idea, because it appears to be now. He let the werewolf that attacked my uncle live, when to appease his own version of us now."
"This Paddy Ryan should have been shot, if he escaped twice, now I want to ask this question, but do you think that David deserved this. Because he's a muggle, that's like a muggleborn saying your parents deserved what Riddle to them. Because their half or purebloods, think that over, now to you I seem biased here. Because my uncle is a wolf, to me they're not dangerous, because I can control Remus, David or Renfield."
"And his pack, but it's because their wolves imprinted on me, to them, I'm cub, hurt cub, you're in big trouble." I said and she nodded. "The wolves you should discriminate all belong to Greyback, being as he turned your families, when they were kids. My uncle is on them, but Renfield's pack, no, they don't deserve your hate or judgement. That Paddy should have been shot and instead whoever allowed him to live here."
"Said is an anti muggle activist, hating muggles for what they did to his or her family, well if the girl, or boy sibling was smart. Well then do whatever they did to cause it, inside the bloody house. That just where the hades is your common sense, that secrecy is meant for this type of thing. If you never wanted your life destroyed, get whoever it was inside the house." I said and she nodded sternly in agreement to that remark.
"But I just want a normal year, and even more, I want my parents back, but at least I get justice. And my uncles back, all four of them finally, along with getting to know my adopted aunt and uncle. Knowing the truth, before I get it reversed, worked for Sirius right now, I know without it now. Without hearing that truth from him, I know and remember that on my own, what I also remember, is my being with Remus as a baby, to me he wasn't dangerous."
"But papa wolf, my nickname for him, that was 'Ooney, as a teenager, I can say it clearly now, but Mooney, it's cub, time to come home. Your baby cub, I looks like Prongs as a teenage cub now, see you in a few weeks Papa, and guys, that goes for you too. I don't care what you are, not what you are, but what you do, Renfield pack, if you need a job. I could use a wolf bodyguard now, so though I have my uncle, I could use a few more." I said and she smiled.
"But my parents will be proud, my legend, and to quote the author to my series, I'm not normal even by wizarding standards, at times, that's dangerous. I know that, but my title means nothing to me, but my bravery, loyalty to my friends and family. Intelligence and cunning show in every way possible, so though in Gryffindor, I'm a Hufflepuff at heart here, so I'm everything that makes up the best attributes here."
"If anyone needs to reach me, my current address is here at the Leaky Cauldron, I'm in training the rest of summer. Thanks everyone, and guys, I'll see you when we get back at it, this is Harry Potter signing off." I said and she nodded. "Alright that should do it, putting this into groupings as each remark, I'm starting with it now. At the most important, so I'm starting with your reveal on Dumbledore, and what he pulled."
"Here's the first, 'Dumbledore: is he daft or is he dangerous, Considered by some to be the greatest Sorcerer in the world, undercover by the Source. The Source revealed, that behind that grandfatherly expression as headmaster, is dangerous man. One that will stop at nothing to remain his title, even if that includes sacrificing a child. And for his Greater Good, he will, playing god with the lives of his followers currently."
"And like a common criminal, the Source says Harry Potter presented evidence and knowledge that Dumbledore has everyone fooled. He is really what the muggles call a schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur, which appears to be a mental disease. Thinking because he killed the Wizard Grindelwald and carries the Elder Wand, that we should worship at his alter, anyone that refuses to, is considered going dark."
"Being as Potter stopped he who must not be named, when he was a baby, Potter revealed the secret, his mother's protection charm. The Charm would appear to be a very strong protection charm she studied before the attack. As the killing curse struck the charm, bounced off it, and struck him instead, leaving only a scar. Only for Potter to realizing in doing so, it tore a 6th piece of soul off him, and sticking it in Potter."
"As we later learned, that ability enabled him to talk to snakes, and there appears to be a two way connection, but nobody fear here. Potter intends to destroy it, via muggle execution methods, something called lethal injection. Currently he and the ministry are hunting down the rest of these anchors, and the chamber debacle. Said is connected to one of them, the diary, Potter goes on to wanting to be seen normal."
"Have a normal year for once and this year he gets it finally, before killing him at the tournament next year, where he's going undercover for us and the ministry. The true champion based on his sources is the Hufflepuff Seeker, Cedric Diggory. Son of Amos Diggory head of the Control of Magical Creatures Department, Potter we now see. As a very engaging and good young man, gave us his entire life story now, in truth."
"That life story reveals why his aunt hates magicals, it's because of the Werewolf David Kessler, who is the husband of her adoptive sister and best friend. Alexandra Price, a nurse working at the Saint Martin's General hospital here in London. Not only did the Death Eaters destroy his life, they, by taking his mother away from her. With the help of Albus Dumbledore, her happiness as well, as she's taking it out on Potter."
"Under further note here, Harry revealed here in what really happened, but it seems Peter Pettigrew was a rat animagus now. In destroying the block and killing the said muggles there, he really cut his finger off. And then left Sirius Black looking like use of the reductor curse killed him. And after destroying a gas main, on said block, Black himself, under orders by Harry's Parents, was ordered to bring him in to the ministry."
"So we have that story reversed, Black is the Order member, ordered by the Order victims families, if he turns them into him. Go and hunt him down and bring him into Alastor Moody and Barty Crouch Senior, for trial sentence. This is what Dumbledore never wanted us to learn, he was witness to this in James's will. Peter is the secret keeper, Sirius wasn't, under further note is Harry's waiting here now in truth."
"To get the evidence, which appears to belong to the Potter gang themselves, who call themselves the Marauders, that two artifacts, that once were used for mischief. Are now security devices, Harry has one already: his cloak, and now he needs his father's map. With two blown quidditch seasons do to injuries, Harry's spending this season, working at getting that championship now, with his captain graduating this year."
"Further note is he's also just revealed he and his bride, Ginevra Molly Weasley, are taking a year off in the adventures now, wanting a normal year this year. Under request he has asked to add 2 hard classes, and the EWA has agreed to that. Said classes taken are to be Arithmacy and Ancient Runes, under the tutorialship. And of Alexandra Cunningham and Jeremy Addams, so this finally gives a year of normality."
"Upon learning more, Potter revealed here the connection between himself, Hermione Granger and Severus Snape. As Lilly, Daniel Granger and Severus were close friends as kids, and guessing correctly here who put them in witness protection. What the muggles call it, as we call it the secret keeper spell now, Potter has forgiven Snape. For his treatment, wanting a clean start, as he's entering what the muggles call."
"In truth the 7th grade, which appears to be third year to us, so this means instead of 11 years schooling they have 12, from 5 years old to 18 years of age now. Anyone that read the report to why he lost his temper last week and said balloon jinx. Margery Dursley crossed the line in insulting his parents, and brought that upon herself. As we all know at 13, we all gain control enough to prevent something from exploding."
"Let off on a warning, Potter was heading off to cool down, and catch the bus to London, and instead, learning we got a wolf in the area. Black got him on the Knight bus and right to London to meet up with Minister Fudge and Lord Crouch Senior. That upon learning why he escaped, Potter revealed the true story to us, finally here. In the message of undoing James's will, Harry revealed to us, that Black was never it now."
"He was never the traitor, thinking that he would come after him, as the obvious first choice, they switched at the last minute. And Albus Dumbledore was witness to this switching and we went on that. So Black is innocent of said murder charges, by order of the ministry, Black is now on parole. And hunting down the real traitor, so all of us, whose children go there, make like normal, we can't give Pettigrew reason now."
"To start turning dangerous and go human now, Potter is taking the year off, after two action packed years of mayhem, after returning to us. Potter on request, has asked you don't ask questions, because he's in a very fragile state right now. Upon this realization, that his entire life was destroyed, by a supposed family friend. That to him, this is a me situation, not a we now, so let him focus on his training now."
"So under direct orders by the ministry and his bride's father, Arthur Weasley, Potter is staying on campus, and no breaking rules, so normal year. As he has a family friend with him, Remus John Lupin, who is a friend of his father's and member of his gang. So no adventures this year, means more time studying here right now, more time training for the house quidditch cup, and more time with his bride now finally."
"So Potter is too busy in training, and spending time with friends to have adventures this year, a very engaging young man. Though we know his legend, it's behind the scenes he reveals he's wanting a normal life. But until he's free of said prophecy, he has to wait, and in the meantime, learn as much on horcruxes as possible. To destroy them all, finding one already, he's destroying his own this winter now finally here."
"But it's Potter we blood traitors should be putting our faith in now, he gave us hope, one destroyed Horcrux, and he's hunting down the others. Before he kills him finally, at the tournament next year and we truly are free now after that. Only the new threat appears to Albus Dumbledore and the Order Of The Phoenix. Even after Potter destroys them all, he's convinced he won't be gone till Potter is dead, which to us."
"Says he wants to eliminate his competition, because there is no reason to reform now, Potter will send the next interview in two weeks time, thank you.'." she read out and Fudge smiled sternly. "Typical, I knew mum had a reason to see him as a lunatic, but Hirsch would say this directly, he's a schizophrenic suffering delusions of grandeur, currently. He's a megalomaniac, one desperate for his version of the prophecy." she said and I nodded gently.
And with a bemused smile then. "He's the chief practitioner at the hospital that David ended up at, realizing what the hades was going on, he realized that Dave was asleep. And for 3 of the 4 weeks between full moons, even better they did it the night before right now. That my cousin Sera ended up with it, she's a 22 year old she wolf." I said and they nodded gently. "Watch the language baby, my family are nurses." she said with a bemused smile, and Crouch chuckled.
"You're the daughter of Alex's nurse's friend, the woman in the bedroom, before Hirsch came to check him out?" I asked and she nodded. "Her niece actually, Harry, my name is Rita Skeeter, writer for Witch Weekly and the Daily Prophet." she said and I nodded. "Well stick to the facts, because I'm training over the next 3 weeks, I'm also investigating that carcass. Whatever it's cost, the next one is Potter: Slayer of the Snake Queen." I said and she smiled at that.
"Fair enough, I got to see this thing." Pecanter said to me and she nodded. "So the old buzzard sees killing a child is for the greater good, I heard that before, there's nothing at all good about cold blooded murder. He's playing god here, and there is only one god Sir, without that wand, he's nothing. I'm, if I'm Ancient born, a demigod, my powers can save lives, but I'm sick and tired, of people screwing with my life, because they think they're well within their right.
"To deny me information, said I deserved to know, so mum was an animal whisperer, was one of those animals snakes?" I asked and he nodded. "Danny Granger is also Ancient descent." Crouch said and I nodded. "Uncle Dan huh, yeah okay, she's a total hypocrite, in my world this can used to control snakes, before they attack someone. In your's with Salazar's reputation, it's something evil, thank you for telling me that, she's in big trouble, as for this now."
"To answer why I never contacted you sooner, regarding my letters, and you never heard from me sooner right now. Well I nearly got tricked into not going back to school last year, Malfoy gave Ginny the diary. Dobby belongs to the Black/Malfoy clan, Sir, that plot was created by Malfoy himself. But Draco dropped some valid information, about a secret illicit stash in their manor." I said and he nodded to the news.
And as his counterpart crossed his arms. "Would this be connected to said beat down at the bookstore?" he asked and I nodded. "I managed to prevent them from attacking each other, next thing I know a fight starts. But the old bastard never told them this, no lasting damage, but there is, in his book form, Riddle attacked her." I said and he nodded in fury. "So you, in a rage, destroyed the diary?" Crouch said sternly and I nodded.
"Sixty foot basilisk in truth, it took driving the sword through her head to kill her, but I got stabbed in the arm, prior to that, just as you were leaving, Minister. I was following up a lead, learning he never set the damn thing loose now. After it killed Myrtle and we nearly got killed by Aragog, and his clan, the entire plot. It was to cull muggleborns, from Hogwarts was Malfoy senior's idea, but I never knew, in truth."
"That I could talk to snakes, or that, in this world, it's bad here, because of Salazar's reputation right now. Being as everyone that came out, supposedly are his followers, or Riddle himself." I said and he nodded. "And they never stood up for you, his golden child, yes this is very bad for him right now. Well I can remedy all this, you're working for me, but find Sirius, tell him, we're letting him run free." Crouch said to me gently.
"If he's heading for Hogwarts, he's coming to arrest Peter and bring him to me, then Jamie gave him orders, he's following direct orders. Arrest the rat and bring him to us, this is my first peace offering between us, second. Is my having you openly involved in the tournament, in taking down Riddle, so this is now a Death Eater trap. We knew in advance if Peter escapes next summer, why exactly, as Alastor is back at it in truth."
"Preteen to teenage Auror, destined for greatness, you're so like your father, he would, if it was your mother, kill them 50 times here. And before they hit the ground as they died, and left Remus and Sirius with the remains. And before I threw whoever it was in Azkaban, as the hover charm was never you. Then you get off with a warning, but we had whatever muggle media exchange that you normally hear now."
"On the black viewing box." he said and I chuckled. "I understand, but Sir, I can stay here for the rest of the summer, before school starts. So I'm surrounded by ministry members, first day back, I'm with the Weasleys and Longbottoms. If Remus is on the train then back with Papa wolf again, this soon, because Sirius breaks in. During the first Hogsmeade visit, he's after Peter now." I said and they nodded smiling gently then.
"Alastor, who's he?" I asked and he smiled. "Alastor Moody, or to you Professor Moody, was one of the best aurors back in the day. In truth, half the cells of the prison are loaded, because of him, arresting Tom's most dangerous followers. Including the Lestranges, they did your brother's parents, my son included in that. He arrested him, himself right now, but this year no adventures, so just wait till you get the map."
"He lost an eye, and with it his leg right now, so walking around with a cane, some consider a bit eccentric, but when you been in a case of fight or flight. And that long, after you stopped it when you were 13 months, then you're allowed. He's retired from the field and teaching at the academy, his current star pupil is Andy's daughter. Her name is Dora, as for your remark, and this time, just carry your cloak with you."
"As we're protecting you for the rest of the summer, as we told you why he's on the loose, and you possibly know the story is reversed. You get the map, and once you hear me drag it up, we're doing this in public. As the truth comes out, and Arthur's getting promoted this summer, I had the truth reversed. That you passed me that intel, if Remus reveals himself, we got him finally, he's been holding him hostage."
"And all this time, Arthur and Percival, so your in-laws are getting triple the amount, so say, in addition to said contest, I'll pay Arthur 985,000 a week now. And that, between now and Christmas, totals to 15,760,000, before the holidays." Fudge said and I nodded. "Is Arthur's office connected to your original?" I asked and he nodded. "I'm what you call the judge son, I'm, or I used to to be, the head of the MLE at the time."
"The, in your wording, magical police department, my counterpart is the chief that was tracing Dave Kessler, in the London police force. In truth to why I'm not still head of the MLE right now, my son was involved with the Death Eaters. Said that did the Longbottoms, Junior's mother was dying, it killed me to do it, regarding Junior. But I had no choice, the trio are a one way ticket to Azkaban." Crouch said and I nodded gently.
"Spells, is one of them a green light, because I heard Malfoy start to say the curse last semester?" I asked and he nodded. "That's the killing curse, if there is one in you, if the bloody elf allowed him to shoot, he's back where he belongs. Said is Azkaban and that's 2 down and sum number to go now." he said and I nodded. "And that's beyond descriptive, but he's right, he should have let him shoot." Said auror said with a bemused look.
'Yeah, you're next to impossible to kill with you that fast, but one too many injuries these last two years.' I heard Fred say with a slight smile in his tone. "As for the Weasleys, do it next week and double it, as they see it, so when they get back they're in shock. But Molly's going to love this, Percy and me protecting them, by using my family map." I said and he nodded "As he's still alive, it's 985,000x26x12=307,320,000." I said and he nodded, smiling then to this.
"Yeah and that total comes to 615,640,000 galleons here, like he would say, they didn't have much, and now they have more then they needed right now." Crouch said and I nodded. "So build it up to that till you get to this coming Christmas, because if that's when the guys. That's the twins give me the map, and the entire amount is finished by then." I said and they nodded smiling gently, as they exchanged looks, knowing this was going to give him a shock then.
"As the twins had the map, the last 5 years, since starting school, my little surprise just activated, but add the map to that, is 3/4's a trillion son. You get the better prize, justice for your family, and your godfather out of jail." Fudge said smiling and I nodded. "That's fine right now, but we start tomorrow, regarding the anchors, because he'll wait 6 years here. To reveal horcruxes, we do it now, and he's going to be, beyond weak." I said and they both nodded.
"There's something I have to do, before you tell them, but I'm leaving the trunks in their vault, but with 3 weeks left till school." I said and they nodded. "Well now that we got all that worked out, I think you can rest now, with you away from that woman. You can cool down and leave it be, she crossed the line, so in retrospect, she got what she deserved." the auror said and I nodded gently, as I relaxed. "For that incident, 25 galleons." I said and they nodded gently.
"Fair enough, you're paying us, in muggle, £156.40, for them, better triple it." he said and I nodded. "Yeah okay that's £1,470 exactly, so I can dish out and bring it to them, I need to alert them, I know who killed mum and why." I said and they nodded, as we ended it at that, and Tom lead me to my room. "Hedwig, hey beautiful." I said and she chirped happily at me, as she flew onto my arm. "Godfather dog escaped to arrest Scabbers, bad rat." I said and she chirped.
Before turning her head questioningly. "No you can't let him know you know he's human in the form of rat, do that he goes human and could take one of my fellow owlings hostage." I said and she chirped in understanding. "We're staying here the rest of the summer, me being trained as magical cop, remember the owls in blue feathers, wearing crests?" I asked and she chirped a yes. "I'm a pre academy owling." I said and she chirped with an affectionate tone then.
It was the next morning, I took out 10,000 for my school supplies then, and another 250,000 converted to pounds and headed back, as I took a deep breath, as I arrived back at my aunt's house. And walked in then. "Aunt Petunia, you home, we need to talk." I said and they came in. "What happened this time after last night's fiasco?" she asked and I nodded. "I'm dropping off the money to pay for damages, said are for the last two years." I said and they nodded then.
As her husband walked in. "Like you said, can't do magic outside school, but she crossed the line last night, the school motto was never poke a sleeping dragon in the eye, and she did just that." I said and he sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have listened, but get to bed." he said and I nodded. "Look I'm sorry, but she pushed it, you know I never had a blow back in years, and she causes it, but I'm off on a warning, for both that and the bloody elf." I said and he nodded gently.
"Just why did we have a house elf, showing up in the bedroom?" he said and I ran my hand through my hair. "Said elf belong's to my Godfather's cousin, she's married to the father of my rival, you recall dad and Severus?" I said and she nodded. "Same thing, only the little cretin is hades bent in driving me out of my mind, till we kill each other. His father is the leader of Riddle's follower's, he's him…" I said and they nodded sternly to the news as he said it to her.
"Marge, next time I tell you to stop, stop, his parents are a witch and wizard, but they're ancient descent, his mother, Alex and Tuny, it went into the boys and Serafine, she's 22." He said, and Marge nodded in shock. "Mum was killed by the tosser that tried to kill me, you read my story line?" I asked and she nodded then. "You mean you're the main character, that story is about you?" she said and I nodded. "I am, but said charm, is a family charm." I said and she nodded.
"Mum's charm enhanced something, but when he tried to fire on me, the shot hit the charm, bounced off of it, and him instead. But in doing so, it tore a pice of his soul out of him, what appeared to be the 6th piece now that got ripped off, and put it in me. I survive with this scar, and some enhanced powers, and he's reduced to less than human. But last year, that's 2 years ago, he possessed the body of my defense teacher, before I killed the first anchor this one."
"Which explains the night sweats, repeated use of the sink, and Hedwig chirping to wake me up, PTSD, after nearly losing my girlfriend." I said and they nodded. "You're doing alnighters, in studying, because you see the chamber every time you close your eyes." Petunia said and I nodded. "Yep, but in truth, it only got worse, but you need to understand this, but because of the war, dad couldn't do what he trained to be, a magical cop, mom a charms teacher now."
"Because we were in hiding." I said and they nodded. "So your parents were a police trainee, and substitute teacher, couldn't go into the job fully, because this lunatic was after them?" Marge said and I nodded. "Yep, and I'm finishing what he wanted to be, only I'm in on the job training, but I been, aside from my choice of sports training, and a magical zoo class. Forbidden to leave the castle, the prison guards are patrolling the grounds, as for last night right now."
"I got off on warning, but my brothers, the trio flying the car, did damage to my bedroom here, that's why I dropped in, I brought this back. Just to pay for the damage last year, my parents are octillionaires, not just my paternal family, but my house founder in school, and the original owner of my cloak, total comes to 900 octillion, so I brought 1/10000th that to pay the bills." I said and Vernon Dursley nodded gently. "In truth, whatever amount…" he started to say then.
As he took the envelope in relief then gently then. "Monetary lesson Uncle Vernon, but galleons, the gold coins, are worth £25 pounds, so multiply 10.5 million, by 5, so 250,000x25x5= £156,250,000." I said and they nodded in shock then. "Whoa, yes that is too much, we always did fairly well, we had enough to be comfortable. And now we got more money then we need right now, we can set aside the rest, but this is how much your father set aside for you."
"That what did your grandfather do for a living, your father, from 5th grade to the 9th from your mother's opinion, was an arrogant toerag, before he deflated his ego. And she gave him a chance, thought your aunt and I didn't at the time." he asked and I nodded. "Family finances, they're so high, I'm of higher ranking than my rival is, but my grandfather. He was a wizarding lord, of the Judge's stature, owning his own business." I said and she nodded gently then.
"If he has this much to throw around, like it's nothing?!" she asked and I nodded. "Grandpa owned the pharmaceutical and hair care potions company, that everyone uses here. 100 years of revenue built up to that much, but my trust is filled with 2.5 million galleons. Said which is essentially, now, £10,000,000 a year, every day refills on the same day here too. As I said mum never picked you, but she chose Alex, so papa wolf." I said and she smiled gently then to that.
"Last year turned into another close call, I found the key, and used it to stop him a second time, but it nearly killed me and my girlfriend, the trio's sister, she's 12." I said and they nodded. "The Death Eaters, that's the tossers followers, used a snake, a basilisk, to cleanse the castle. My friends and sister in law, the quartet's older brother's girlfriend, let alone the caretaker's cat. Ended up petrified, like a Gorgon." I said and Petunia nodded sternly to the news then.
"That explains the hole in your cloak, that look like something bit you." Vernon said and I nodded. "Job's getting too bloody dangerous Uncle Vernon, I'm taking next year off, so I'll be fine, but I remember now, Aunt Alex and Uncle Dave?" I asked and they nodded. "Yes, he's one reason, your mother the other, I hate him, for destroying our family." Vernon said and I nodded. "It's fine, but Perce' opened my eyes, he's a megalomaniac." I said and they nodded.
"I see, so he's a schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur." she said and I nodded. "Yep, he seems to think that because he killed Grindelwald, and carry my cloak's counterpart. The Elder wand, we, us magicals should worship any his alter, any that don't here now. Are considered going dark, when we have zero tolerance for murderers, rapists and whatever parasites." I said and they both nodded in agreement. "Yes, I take it he didn't?" Marge asked and I nodded.
"Anti muggle activist, I think his sister got it by a trio of muggle boys, her powers turned inward, which is highly dangerous, resulting in what happened last night." I said and they nodded. "But I'm more normal then I'm full, it's just I hate my powers, you remember said snake?" I asked and they nodded. "Well in that world, thank's to Salazar's reputation, that skill is seen as evil, but to us, we do that all the time." I said and she crossed her arms sternly.
"So your parents were killed by his heir, who is the same man, that Slytherin character's heir grew up to become..?" Vernon started to say and I looked down and they nodded. "They never told me, they never told me mum's powers, about your being able to do that yourself. Two years ridicule, and I told them the truth, everything, about your hatred of them. Him and his followers, both versions, were it not for them, mum would still be alive, they understand."
"You hate the M word, because it cost you mum and your happiness, and with it, destroyed David's life, they understand that now." I said and she nodded gently as she ran her hand through my hair. "They who exactly?" Vernon asked me and I nodded. "That's him, Minerva, Hagrid, Filius Flitwick and Pomona Sprout, Severus never realized I just figured it out. He got us in witness protection, so to speak, they switched at the last minute, and Peter turned us in."
"And framed Sirius for killing the clones that died that night, it's reversed to what they all thought, this entirely." I said, taking her copy of The Outsiders off the shelf and they and Marge nodded gently. "So why did the updated report come out exactly?" he asked and I nodded. "Ron's rat is Peter himself, he turned us in." I said and they nodded in fury. "So your memories are back, okay so it's reversed, who does Sirius look like." Vernon asked then gently.
"Gary Oldman, with curly long hair, if you heard the howling last night, someone from Greyback's pack was on the prowl out there, and Sirius got me on the bus to London. So I'm staying there, not far from the train station, so 3 weeks sooner than you expected. So just like last year." I said and they nodded. "My commander is the former judge, of the magical law enforcement and courts, he and his best cop are training me." I said and they nodded then.
"So you want to be a cop huh, I can take that easily." she said and I nodded. "I take it you followed with Owen's opinion, to you he's Obi-wan, you never agreed with mum's decision. Stayed out of it, not gotten involved, only you're his wife's position, she's in Owen's?" I asked and they nodded. "First your mother and now you, that's why I never wanted you going, I can't lose you too, baby." she said and I nodded, before I could answer, I heard a gentle growl.
At the door, turned and saw Sirius and smiled. "Sirius, you out of your mind right now, they only just got the news the truth is reversed?!" I said, as he walked in and changed back. "Okay, so he's a shapeshifter, what they call that again?" she asked and he smiled. "Animagus, you remember me now son?" he asked and I smiled and he smiled in delight, as I hugged him then. "God I missed you Pad', I didn't think I would ever see you again, Paddy, Uncle Paddy."
"I remember everything, you, dad and Remus, wolf, deerhound and stag, I'm back to being Bambi again, Paddy." I said and he chuckled and nodded. "Our nickname for him, his father was a fully grown stag, him a fawn, so his mother named him Bambi." he said and Marge chuckled and nodded. "Paddy, he kept asking for a Paddy, he meant you?" Vernon asked and he nodded, "Yeah he meant me, Paddy is short for Padfoot, my animagus form." I said and they nodded.
"Then who's 'Ooney?" we heard, and I hid a smile, as my cousin walked in the door. "That's my best friend actually, next to his father, Remus Lupin." he said and they nodded. "Leading into the attack, the duo and me, our bonds grew stronger, but it was after Peter hexed Severus. That we all realized he was capable of murder from the age of 15, now I may have been a wise gut, but I would never trick someone into a close encounter, with a werewolf, which Peter did."
"But now who put your parents in witness protection?" he asked and I smiled. "It was Severus, this was his way to apology, but Dumbledore wanted you to refuse, to get you out of the way." I said and he nodded sternly. "He called your mother the M word, but hisentire school crowd are known death eaters." he said and she nodded. "I know he had a sadistic streak, but that explained everything, his act of redemption was by putting her in witness protection right now."
"And then when he still found her, via Peter Pettigrew, was spending two years protecting baby here." she said and he nodded gently. "Had two encounters with him, both nearly killed me, as a preteen, I'm taking this round off, no adventures, and Moody. He just found out, he knows, you're innocent, as do Fudge, Scrimgeour and Crouch." I said and Sirius sighed in relief. "The trio gave me direct orders to stay on campus, knowing Arthur now, he's going to as well."
"Arthur's the quartet's father, Arthur Weasley, he loves muggles, thinks we're fascinating." I said and he chuckled and nodded. "Yeah you love being muggle, as magical is nothing, but trouble, hence your adventures." Vernon said and I nodded. "I just figured it out, you have the book, part four?" I asked and Marge nodded, and went to get it then, and I paged to said chapter. "He's using this one to bring himself back." I said and they nodded in shock and fear.
