Chapter 1: Prisoner Reveals And The Truth Comes Out
"On the other hand, running away from home, given the state of things, was very irresponsible." he said and I froze. "State of things Sir?" I asked and he nodded. "We have a killer on the loose." Cornelius Fudge, the minister of Magic said and I nodded."Sirius Black, okay, here we go." I said and then said it. "Hold on Sirius is on the loose, how did he get out exactly right now, I was told that prison is impossible to escape from right now?" I asked and he sighed then.
"We're not sure, but he's the first ever to escape." he said and I nodded. 'Sirius if that was you I saw at the playground, you trying to scare me into a heart attack here. You oversized fluffball, yeesh?' I thought, trying to hide my relief, as I remembered the howling tonight and nodded smiling as I answered him, then, knowing what they would think to what I said next gently. "I think I walked into him actually, but I heard howling from another area of the neighborhood."
"He got me on the bus, and I headed for London." I said and he nodded. "That's odd." he said and I nodded. "In fact that doesn't sound like him at all, like he was trying to protect you." Tom said and I nodded. "What do werewolves sound like?" I asked and he nodded. "They sound like this." he said, as swung his hand and I heard howling and nodded sternly then. "That's what the wolf on the movie sounded like, said movie is called, An American Werewolf In London."
"So I take it's true, the muggles gave David a headache, they can't be killed by muggle means. You need a very strong spell for that?" I asked and he nodded as he answered me gently then to the news. "Kessler's connected to your maternal family, his wife is your mother's adopted sister. If a werewolf was in the neighborhood, as tonight is a full moon, that makes sense. And after Adam killed 6 muggles, Adam is a member of Greyback's pack, so trying to protect you."
"Get you indoors, before the little furball attacked you." he said gently and I nodded gently then. "I never saw that coming, yeah okay so this is the reason she hates magicals, magic destroyed her happiness, the way it destroyed his life, because of the dark arts. She hates Dumbledore for taking mum, but not her, she hates him here in truth. Because if she stuck to teaching, dad being a magical cop, they would still be alive." I said and he nodded smiling in relief then.
"Well that explains everything, gets overly protective." Tom said to that news. "For god's sakes here, he wasn't trying to attack me at all, he wanted me to get up here, so first good deed, they did this on a muggle movie. The fugitive, risking getting arrested, saved a kid no older then me, that was an inch away from a punctured aorta. That's this artery." I said, tapping the right side of my chest, and he nodded as I explained further, knowing they were half to full then.
"Muggle medical care, Sirs, the primary artery is this one, if this one gets punctured now, you're going to bleed to death, and not even medical potions will save you. You need immediate muggle surgery for that." I said and Fudge nodded in understanding. "To protect you from the ferals coming across you, he got you on the bus, okay, well that helps. What the prison guards say, Cornelius?" Tom asked him and he nodded and he sighed and he answered him gently.
"The night he escaped, after the report came out that Arthur Weasley won the contest, Sirius asked to borrow the newspaper, wanted something to read, till the last week since. Since this article came out, but every night, till he escaped, was the same remark. Said was he's at Hogwarts, he's at Hogwarts." He said and I nodded, as I thought it over. "Sirius what you ask for use of the newspaper for, he's at Hogwarts, who do you mean by that?" Fudge said to that.
And I nodded. "Hold on, my pictures." I said and he nodded, as I pulled my photo album out, as I four men there, dad standing between 2 teenage boys, and a third smaller one. "Who is that, because it's starting to come back right now." I said and he nodded. "That's Peter Pettigrew." he said and I nodded. "Dad, I hoped you had stuffed animals in my room, so let's see here." I said and scanned my pictures, before seeing me in my crib surrounded by 3 stuffed animals.
A deerhound, a wolf and stag and smiled. "Got you Peter, I remember now, the Marauders, the only ones of you represented are dad, Sirius and Remus!" I said smiling sternly and they froze in shock. "Sir, this said that as they grew up, the bond started getting stronger between the trio, but weaker, with Peter." I said and he nodded, smiling. "Dad's gang, I remember everything now finally here, but dad was a stag, Sirius a deerhound, Remus a wolf." I said and he nodded.
"Got a spare copy of that newspaper?" I asked and he nodded, as he put it on the table, I scanned it. "What he get arrested for, because Scabbers has a missing toe." I asked and he nodded. "Peter lost a finger, in a firefight." he said and I smiled. "Percy had him, since he was 5, but 12 years." I said and he nodded smiling in relief then. "Percival found him, this rat, not long after your parents were murdered?" Tom repeated and I nodded sternly to him then at that.
"Rather than a possible blown off finger, Peter, in destroying the block now, after killing that group of muggle. He could have cut it off, then escaped, after he killed the muggles, framing Sirius for this, he's had a concussion." I suggested to him, coming to the inevitable conclusion that I knew my godfather would give me. Before a shouting match got started between him, Remus Lupin and Severus Snape, if we waited a year for the truth, as I deflected said match.
And before the trio killed each other. "What's a concussion?" Fudge asked and I explained it. "It's a severe blow to the head, you get it from gas explosion, or blunt forced trauma. That's a blow to the back of the head, one hard enough to cause a skull fracture. If there was a gas main on the block, he blew the pipe and it destroyed the block. In throwing Sirius into a car, and knocking him half conscious now, cut his finger off and ran." I said to him then gently.
"Strange, that's an interestingly long life for a common garden rat right now, the report given out by Barty said there was only a toe found. Just a toe nothing else." Tom said and I nodded, before the punchline struck me. "Wait a minute." I said and checked my pictures. "There we go, that's them, they're shapshifters, yes alright, so missing toe Percy said, missing finger you said, there's Peter." I said smiling and he smiled sternly at the news, knowing I gave him plenty now.
"He's at Hogwarts, not you, but Peter, Peter's a…, son, what do you call a soldier working for one military, but passing information to another country exactly. And without authorization?" Tom asked me and I explained that, as I felt my anger building then sternly here. "We call that a double agent, Professor Addams on hand teaches at the academy for the space program. As an acting colonel, in the Royal Air Force, M16, the Death Eaters are considered KGB."
"Not only is this illegal, he killed whoever's relatives and betrayed my parents, is disclosing personal information under that witness protection spell. Punishable by death, Sir?" I asked and he nodded sternly, and he wrote that down angrily then. "It is, and there we go, so Sirius expected him to come after him, as the obvious first choice. Nobody expected him, a weakling, to harbor a cold blooded streak, and once given keeper status, turn it in that quickly."
"Once again, to get an understanding, since the adults muggleborns spent too much time in our world, I need it from a teenager, one just turned 13 now. To understand this, alright then Sirius was the loyal one, he would die here. Before ever betraying your family, he looked it true, but he's harmless in truth. That he would never hurt someone, Peter on the other end, after becoming secret keeper, kills someone now."
"Peter's alive, so we have it reversed right now, well now, alright Sirius can roam free, but Peter has been hold hostage all this time, by the Weasley family. Oh yes, there's going to be retribution here, trying to discredit their family here now. And they just saved me from a supposed other blunder in my case now, yes alright here. Dispatch an owl to the daily prophet, please now, because this is urgent and needs immediate."
"In attention now, before this parasite attacks a child, but 'Supposed wanted criminal, framed for murder, protecting Potter: the Boy Who Lived from the real killer." he said and wrote down a message, and sent it out. "We got a true fugitive on the loose, a double agent in muggle terming, to quote, Sirius now. That they would die, die rather than betray their friends, but Peter should have realized, that if he never killed him."
"The family friends of the Potter clan would have, together right now, he's hunting him down: Attention everyone in Wizarding Britain. Under the notation of our young savior I been passed new information on why Sirius Black escaped right now. If anyone has a rat, said that lived longer than the standard 3 years a garden rat. Now, should live here, do not further examine him, he's an animagus, and is trying to.'."
"Now, to stay hidden, from us and Sirius Black right now, children this one is for you, if you been using the map of his ex trio's gang, and saw his name revealed. Then you know the truth was just reversed, Sirius Black, is trying to arrest this animagus. As he's not just anyone, but an Order member, what the muggles call a double agent. The 4th member of Potter's gang, of friends, only two stayed loyal to the Potter family.'."
"The possible original traitor of the Potter family is Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, escaped 2 days ago from Azkaban prison. Is searching out his quarry, possibly on the last pre mortem request by James Charlus Potter. And Lillian Marie Potter nee' Evans Black is hereby on parole, if found, is to allowed free access in the village. To get some clean clothes, and is to be nursed back to health, till he arrives at Hogwarts, now."
"Just to arrest Pettigrew, all ministry members, I want you to listen carefully here, because Potter just alerted me to the fact that his uncles. And father are all animagi and a werewolf, from this photograph he sat in front of me. I ascertained that their chosen nicknames are really their chosen animals, Wormtail. Is code for rat, Prongs is James, he's a stag, and Padfoot, he's a British Deerhound, leave Sirius be, everyone."
"He's trying to protect the students, but nobody alert the staff to this, until we get the quartet's map back now, because Potter's memories of the boys. Said just slammed back into place, along with Daniel Granger, the father of a member of his trio. Going on why he escaped now, it's because he knows after two attempts to return. Both that which Potter deflected, one including a near fatal encounter with a basilisk now."
"They're getting ready to start again, said tournament next year, is a smoke screen for this, Potter is going undercover into the tournament. To stop hisreturn and arrest him, if he escapes next year, and catch whoever else that escaped for us. But Albus Dumbledore and his Order are not to be trusted with this, so once school starts. Tell your children, play it out like normal, till Potter gets the map back for us finally."
"But urgent warning here now everyone, Peter Pettigrew is highly dangerous, do not, I repeat do not try to arrest him yourselves. He's after Harry Potter, if He Who Must Not Be Named is still out there, somewhere, after Potter stopped his return. And twice more, he's preparing to present him to him, as his bargaining chip. Just to save himself, he's also desperate to save himself, from us: the Ministry Of Magic now."
"Potter is under the free protection of myself, Bartemis Crouch Senior, and his paternal family uncles, as of this year. Potter, given orders by us, the MOM and Black himself, is staying on campus, till we either arrest Pettigrew. Or he escapes a second time, and as we figure out a way to draw out his followers once again. If Peter Pettigrew is animagus, he could be someone's pet cat, rat or toad, whoever now.'."
'Has one of these, or an owl, be on the look out, if anyone has a cat, trying to hunt down said rat, call the aurors to the castle, this school year. Because your cat just found him, but again, do not, I repeat do not, try to arrest himself yourself. As Sirius is a big animal, if he is an animagus himself now, he's patrolling the castle grounds. So leave him and Professor Lupin to be in control security now, they are friends now."
"Of the Potter family, and working at protecting you all, from the prison guards, and after the Chamber incident last school year. Thank you, your minister, Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic.' Tom pass that message. And to Davie Pechanter, he's going to have a field day, that we got an innocent man. In trying to hunt down the man that destroyed his life right now." Fudge said to him and he nodded with a bemused smile then.
"Yeah the press is going to go crazy on that one, they're also going to have field day. On a house elf, arriving at muggle residence, and destroying a dinner party here now." I said and he nodded gently. 'There we go, the truth is out, Sirius is innocent, Peter's with my best friend right now, well Percy, your and my speculation's right. Remus is taking the defense position, we were right all along, the scion me, of an Ancient noble house is back."' I thought, smiling in relief.
"Minister, I know I got a single warning last year, and she provoked me, but in truth I hadn't lost my temper in 2 years, to make something explode here now. So before I get in trouble here for this, but do you recall, why Dumbledore was looking. And pointedly at a supposedly empty space in the hut?" I asked him and he nodded. "I was standing there, the entire time, that's how I met you, my cloak." I said gently to him.
And he nodded, smiling. "I was investigating who was attacking everyone, and found the chamber finally, it's in Myrtle's bathroom. I killed the bloody snake too, and destroyed the diary, that diary is an anchor, one of his." I said and he smiled in delight. "Hang on my boy." he said and threw some dust into the fire. "Barty, I need you here at the Leaky Cauldron, I have Harold, he's filling me in on a few things." he said to gently him then.
And a man came through then. "Hey Sir, I'm Harry Potter, my brother in law, filled me in on his future position, you're it." I said smiling and he nodded gently. "Who is the girl you fell in love with, the in-laws." Bartemis Crouch Senior asked and I smiled. "Ginny Weasley actually, her brother is 17, and about to graduate, but and you're going to believe this. But why did Sirius get arrested exactly?" I asked and he explained it.
"He turned your family in." he said and I nodded gently. "Uh huh, so if this is why, I'm traipsing around the village, when you drop by, I've possibly got the map." I said and Fudge nodded, bemused. "I'll let that go just this once, that you broke the rules, to bring a known fugitive to justice. For killing your family, as you drop by the pub, and expose the rat to me, with that map." he said sternly, though with a gentle smile then and I smiled.
As the twins were shaking in laughter at that remark. "I think it's reversed, who did he supposedly kill exactly, before destroying the block?" I asked and he explained that gently. "Peter Pettigrew." he said and I nodded sternly. "The twins found a map, which shows whatever everyone is doing, every minute. But that map tracks someone down, in real time, there could be animagus trackers on it, if that's what you call changing."
"So said map, cloak, once used for mischief, is now used for security purposes, and I'm a young auror, I prevented his return twice." I said and they smiled. "Cub auror, yes alright, well if Neville, Susan, Dean and Seamus are like you now. We got something here that should help, my boy, but keep going, that map never lies, hmm. I knew something was strange, rather then acting like a lunatic, he's in shock Peter escaped."
"Whatever his nickname is went literal, so what are the nicknames?" Crouch asked and I nodded. "Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, though that maybe their chosen animals, if whoever this Mooney is, maybe a werewolf. If I could get my hands on it, is one of them could be my father, I can break the creator control codes. And the duo and whoever Mooney is, reveal themselves to me, changing him, if he's still alive."
"And from human into animal, his name keeps flashing up, along with the story, but who is my new defense teacher this year?" I asked him and he smiled. "A family friend actually, Remus Lupin, he's a wolf." Fudge said smiling and I smiled in delight. "Exactly as Percy said, soon enough Dumbledore chooses a family friend, and said family friend. He knows Scabbers, their rat, the second he sees him." I said and he nodded gently.
"So no evidence, that Peter is still alive, and why would an innocent man want to spend 12 years as a rat?" Crouch said sternly and I nodded agreement, that. "That's what I said, when he and I were discussing it two years ago. But that must be why he asked to see the paper, he saw the newspaper clip that they're in Cairo. And then saw Peter on Ron's shoulder and then concluded, he's been in the dorm with me all this time."
"But the rat has been hiding under his nose for going on 7 years, and every time you say death eater, he immediately assumes Severus. So what happens if your son was masquerading as next yea's defense teacher, and kills you next. You wanted one up on them for years, he says, he thinks, he believes, enough already. Because his reputation has been destroyed, because Peter is hiding under his nose right now."
"But I'm being honest now with you, ever since school started, I've been thrown into dangerous situations, special treatment, before being treated like a pariah. I hate my dormitory, was he leader of something if it cost my parents their lives?" I asked and he nodded. "Your parents belonged to the Order, as did Neville's parents, Susan and Dean's families, but these past two years, he's thinking you would be happy."
"Now to see him, fall in line like he wanted, and instead here, these two transgressions blew his appearance in your eyes, and with him. Minerva and Hagrid, Pomona and Filius hmm, okay that makes plenty of sense. I'm the only one that has been this straight forward with you, and you're wanting to fall in line. Like Percival does right now, yes alright I understand perfectly." he said and I nodded gently to him.
"Yeah there's a lot I don't know here, so much he kept from me, was dad like you, old wizarding lord?" I asked and he nodded. 'Little boy, my baby, god he's grown, I see it so clearly, he's Jamie as a young teenager, but Lilly in personality. Alright Albus, the game is up, he's mine now.' I saw him thinking and hid a smile then and Tom smiled in affection. "Yes baby he was, your grandfather was a potion master, creating the beauty and health potions."
"That we use, but you're a scion to Ancient and Noble House of Potter, said account you use, is really your trust account. Said you get access to your parents accounts, when you're 17, but your family, paternal family. Said are descended from Ignotus Peverell and Godric Gryffindor, combined together. You're a octillionaire here, in monetary amounts, which is why the sword came to you." he said and I smiled then.
"Well the founders provided the perfect tools here, to destroy those anchors, you better see this." I said and pulled out said robe that was a souvenir from the fight, and showed the singed sleeve there and they nodded in shock. "Winky!" he called out, and she appeared instantly. "Winky sneak into the headmaster's office, get the diary, and bring it to me." he said and she nodded smiling, as she looked at me with a gently smile then.
As she popped out, before 5 minutes later, popping back in, and placed a book on the table then. "Okay my dear, return home, make sure he never tries anything stupid, Junior Master is still under house arrest." he said and she nodded. "Barty is still under arrest, well there we go, I'm learning things nobody knew here. And you just said your son is alive, well that's the evidence, he's created an anchor, out of this, possibly me too."
"And there could be more, this must be what I'm destined to do, before I give the killing blowing, with him less then human right now." I said and they both nodded. "Yes okay, that explains the line, 'neither can live, while the other survives'. So long as the one in you is alive, he will never be gone, simple fix, use the venom on you. And then the phoenix tears, after we do this the muggle way." Fudge said gently to me at that as I answered him then gently.
"That's a tourniquet around the injection site, cutting off blood circulation to the rest of my body, till I stab myself. And undo my belt, and let it course through my veins, 3 minutes waiting here. And then the tears, and done, I'm free now, of that bloody prophecy." I said and they smiled at the news then. "I've belonged to you ever since I tried to save Hagrid's career, said dragon egg, emotional abuse, I just barely killed myself, in stopping Riddle, that's him."
"Now, from getting the stone Sirs, I killed Quirrell, because he was coming out now. From the back of his head. Like a freaking parasite, but my charm burned him to death." I said and they nodded sternly. "We see, so reckless endangerment." Crouch said to that sternly. "And with you out of school currently, calling Snape by name is fine, but you're right, everything she thinks. Is based on his opinion, is Granger the same way, baby?" he asked and I nodded gently then.
"Yes Sir, I fell in love Arthur's daughter, but this year became the road not taken, I'm only telling Ginny. And till I get that map, after that, well she's going to be in shock here that I never told them sooner." I said and he nodded sternly. "Foolish child, you honestly think that Peter would wait for you to get the professors, no he would kill you on the spot, or take you hostage. And that's in school, but Molly, you honestly think he would allow her to contact MOM."
"No, he would do it there too, Harry made the right decision, not to say anything, and saved your in-laws reputation. Instead of humiliation, they been holding a known fugitive hostage right now, if that's not straight forward. And nothing is right now, you just revealed you hate the Order beyond words, and you sided with the Ministry." Tom said sternly to that as he ran his hand through my hair and Crouch nodded sternly as he and his auror friend exchanged looks.
"Real name, are you saying he's a half blood, rather then a pure?" Fudge asked and I nodded. "Tom Marvolo Riddle, rearrange it." I said and he nodded and did it, as the letters rearranged themselves into a sentence. "Dear god, it's him!" Crouch said in shock then and I nodded. "Yeah his diary self exposed himself to me, after nearly killing Ginny." I said and he nodded angrily. "Son of a…." their third shouted in fury and I nodded gently to him.
"So stop him from coming back by use of the stone, stop him again by killing a piece of his soul and third attempt. If he intends to use the tournament, when you're 14, as his way back, yes we can use this. Only you're becoming a student of the Auror Academy, if your name comes out of that goblet, if you infused that sword. With venom, we kill his physical body, kill his other anchors and done." Crouch said to that and I smiled.
"So rather then being thrown up at bait, I'm a active participant in shutting him down, but.., the book, that's it, Sirs, if you don't mind." I said and they shook their heads, and I called it out. "Accio Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire book!" I shouted out, and a British version of the book, came flying in through the window. "Here we go Sir, it's this, Flesh, Blood And Bone, Bone of the Father unknowingly given, you will revive your son."
"Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed you will resurrect your master, blood of the enemy forcibly taken, you will bring back your foe. He's going to bring himself back, next year, during the tournament, and the riot, signaled their return, his followers." I said and they nodded sternly. "Yeah instead of an Order trap, we make it a Death Eater trap, kill him in the finale, he's gone for good!" Crouch said, smiling sternly then to this.
"There could be more and I think found 2, the one inside me, and the diary, there could be more, if there are, then we have destroy or cleanse them." I said and he nodded. "Griphook, get Griphook." he said and the man nodded, and left, before coming back with the goblin I met then. "Hello Griphook, been a long time." I said and he nodded. "So an anchor, you're an anchor, I assume under Lord Black's authority here now finally."
"That you're giving permission to search his house, and Mistress Lestrange with him?" he asked and I nodded. "With them detained or on the run, yes, search out their vaults and his house, how much does it cost to purify an anchor, whatever they're called?" I asked and he nodded. "That is 150 galleons, each." he said and I nodded. "I did one, and nearly my scar with it, so find the trio, whatever they are, I'll pay you 600, each."
"To purify them, after we find them." I said and he smiled. "Very well, quadruple what we ask for, if they are house relics, you get them purified. And returned to their houses, I promise you, I assume Godric's sword, was infused with venom." he said and I nodded. "Yeah I destroyed the diary, and turned my family sword into the perfect killing machine for these bloody things." I said and he smiled and nodded gently to me.
"I know I'm going to regret asking this, but how do you do this?" I added and he explained that. "We force the horcrux, the fragment itself, rather then the item, into a livestock, preferably a pig, and roast the pig, we're not squeamish here. So said pig ends up for dinner, at a banquet, you gave us 3 pigs for dinner. At our branch of the bank." he said and I nodded. 'TMI, TMI here."' I heard my brothers, the Weasley twins and Cedric Diggory chanting, in disgust.
'Uh uh, okay I'm never eating pork products ever again.' I thought, hiding my disgust, deciding I was eating nothing, but chicken, Turkey, steak seafood from now on. In meat products after hearing that. "Yeah alright, you get the carcass, one goes to the school, to me, Hermione, Myrtle, Penny, Ginny, the guys, Filch. So that's 10, who else exactly?" I asked and he smiled. "Severus himself, and you can leave the 12, for Remus." Fudge suggested and I smiled then.
"If Remus can't get a job, I can field that, that and split them in half, whatever it is, half goes to Hagrid, the other to Remus now. And they're rolling in galleons now, but there we go right now, naming off who exactly, after Myrtle was killed. That her family deserves compensation, so her, and the others are petrified, so Argus for his cat, my sister. My baby brother, and friends, one of them is my sister in law, Severus himself, that's starting to come back to now, the school."
"And Remus now, so before school starts I'm needing an estimate average for that basilisk carcass, because the split is 12 equal shares, you get the carcass. But just leave me with the venom and the teeth, so whatever she's worth, I'm fixing this. But to my girlfriend, my brother in law's future wife, Penny Clearwater, Mione Granger. Ronald Weasley, Colin Creevey, Justin Flinch-Fletchley, Argus Filch, one to the school." I said and he nodded smiling gently to yhat.
"And the last goes to you, we understand, whatever it's worth, once we see it, the money goes into the accounts immediately, you collect the venom and teeth. We take the carcass, and divvy out the required amounts to their accounts now." he said and I nodded gently. "Whatever the amount, that's beyond generous right son, because this has most pureblood supremacists green with envy." Crouch said and I nodded, smiling. "Yeah she's mine." I said and they chuckled.
"School starts in few weeks can you get it done, before I reveal I did it already, long before the tournament. Because he's going to realize his only insurance, from staying outside prison is now shot." I said and he nodded."Well it seems it got worse for him, because your parents gave specific instruction. You are to go to Sirius Black, Alice Longbottom, Edgar Bones, Daniel Granger, or Alexandra Kessler, in adopted homes."
"You were never supposed to go to Petunia Dursley, while 2) is he sealed your parents will, thirdly, your father wrote down who the real secret keeper was. It was Peter Pettigrew, in the event that Peter turns your location into Lord Voldemort. Sirius is to hunt down and arrest him and bring him to Lord Crouch and Madam Bagnold." he said and they crossed their arms. "Peter was the secret keeper." Fudge repeated to that news.
"If he's an animagus, that's the only thing he's guilty of, as he never registered himself, but that works. But what does he look like, you see him as he got you on the bus?" Crouch asked and I smiled. "He looks like a deerhound, a black one, but I heard howling tonight, and he apparently was trying to get me off the street. That if we had a werewolf close by, he wanted me on the bus to London." I said and they nodded to me.
"That doesn't sound like a murderer, he's acting like an auror, with the fact that we got Greyback running loose, and one of his was in the area. He got you on the bus to get you to me." Fudge said sternly and Crouch nodded."What do werewolves look like." I asked and he put a picture down. "Dear god, I seen this on a movie, he's virtually identical to Dave Kessler when he phased that month." I said and he nodded gently.
"Yes and you're learning dark creatures this year as we added a new one, dementors, but Dementors are the most foulest creatures known. And to wizard kind, they feed on every good memory, every good experience. And till you're left with nothing, but your worst memories, you're not weak, they affect you more than the others. Because your worst memories are all focused on Riddle." His counterpart Auror said and I nodded then.
"I got some serious studying to do, to remember everything, because if Remus is on that potion, I can see him like a normal wolf, and one the size of a buffalo. Never mattered, he's papa to me, I love him anyway, so seeing him now. I see my father wolf, protecting me like always, Mooney's going to kill when he finds out." I said and they nodded. "Who wouldn't, your father was his alpha." Crouch said and then said it.
"We had it reversed, Peter turned them in, Sirius went looking for him, to arrest him, he shouted out Sirius was traitor, blasted the block apart. Cut his finger off, and escaped, and Sirius had a concussion and was in shock, he escaped him." Crouch said sternly and I nodded. "One chance mercy, I find him, it's the dementors, we remove the flesh of the servant piece to the spell." I said to him with a firm growl and they nodded.
"She must be a seer, if she can tell the future, year 4, okay so that's chapter 4, we're currently entering chapter 3, let's see here, if the names of said books are here. You and the stone, you and the Chamber, you and our missing prisoner and now you. And the Goblet of fire, there's the tournament next year and we just make changes. And accordingly, but he's finished, boys, we're searching out the other anchors here."
"Getting them cleansed, school starts in 6 weeks, so check the room of requirement, it would never show on this map. Check the Death Eater vaults, even the Black Manor, find them all and get them cleansed, the Ministry Sanct." Fudge said and they smiled. "I'm going to the guards keeper, telling him there is one inside you, and we're trying to get it out, or you do your leg this time now." Crouch said and I nodded.
"Yeah that, and why did Albus not close the school sooner, because your mother could talk to snakes, she's an animal whisperer." his counterpart added and I nodded. "Alright you get the map and show it to me, and Remus, and we force him to show himself now." Fudge said smiling and Crouch nodded in agreement. "Yeah that, and why I needed to tell you this, but said diary I just explained, is an anchor, I just destroyed it."
"I just killed the first here, before school let out if there is one inside me, then I think this is why I keep blacking out, from the pain. I'm seeing what the hades is going on, on his side of the line right now, but that explains everything. So his powers went into me, it's my scar, it's an anchor, Sire, not crazy, I've been severely traumatized. And by what happened that night." I said and he nodded as Crouch rubbed the back of my head.
"We understand, if Junior escapes, and attacks you, he's getting the worst then death penalty, but you're everything I wanted him to become. Jamie with you, your father hated the dark arts with a passion." he said sternly and I nodded. "Well does trying to prevent an adult friend from losing his job constitute 150 points lost. After said friend's record with the cops, so to speak?" I asked him and he crossed his arms then.
"No, would that friend be Hagrid?" he asked and I nodded gently. "Yeah I lost 150 points, simply because I was getting that bloody dragon out of the castle. That's how I found out that Riddle was on the edge of coming back, via the stone now. The fight between us, nearly killed me in the process, via magical exhaustion here. Ron ended up with a concussion, via her magical chess set." I said and his counterpart crossed his arms then.
"Where was the detention set?" he asked and I said it. "The forest itself." I said and he nodded. "Were there any areas here, of favoritism these last two years?" He asked and I nodded, and Minerva paled then, realizing I was reporting her two years sooner, then the book proclaimed now. "Yeah Madam Hooch ordered that anyone goes flying, they're getting expelled, Draco did just that, I was getting Neville's remembrall back, the week."
"I saw that dragon, Draco saw it as well, and while we lose 150 points after I just won them in the game, he only gets a detention, is that fair." I asked and a man looking like a school inspector shook his head sternly. "No it's not, favoritism shows, in a student, nothing but arrogance, till you think you can get away with murder. And literally, seems she's following orders by that old douchebag." he said and Dumbledore paled.
"Typical, whatever Albus says she does, I think he wanted you at your lowest point, and then prove here that you're everything your legend says you are. But this is emotional abuse and child abuse, you're a going on 12 year old preteen. You need all the love and support we can give you, and he's acting like you're a science project." Fudge said sternly to that, writing that down, before looking at me gently as he said it then.
"What else baby, because trust me, this is illegal, so what happened last year, that caused Lucius to lose his position, as school governor?" he asked and Dumbledore and Minerva paled, realizing I threw them to the wolves, for criminal activity. "Did you hear about the twins coming to get me, by said flying car?" I asked and they nodded. "I was framed for said hover charm, but I know you were getting worried." I said and they nodded.
"Amos runs the office for the care and control of magical creatures, I take it we had a sentient drop in that night?" Crouch asked me and I nodded. "Yeah it was a house elf, are house elves the personal servants to wizarding families?" I asked and he nodded. "Families of my stature, as a wizarding lord, but it's time I said this, I simply despise the dark arts, but my family is highly wealthy, numbering in muggle pounds."
"Said is a few hundred billion now, your grandfather Charlie, he owned the medical potion company that creates a few potions, which is where your wealth came from. Said account you're using is your trust account, when 17, you get your access and to your family, your grandfather is not only a potions master, he's an old wizarding lord. So if the old fool never thought to make you aware of this, he's got some little plot."
"He never intended to make us aware of, since every Death Eater out there has it against you, for killing Riddle, or destroying his power." he said and I crossed my arms, and Dumbledore paled. "You earned my trust, more than he did, but Percy opened my eyes to the fraud he was. But if you said you loved dad, like a son, I guess you saw me as a toddler?" I asked and he smiled. "Yes and I'm crazy about you." he said and I smiled.
"Well meeting you next year, it resulted in the standard exchange of magic carpets, and apparently you had that exchange one too many time with Arthur." I said and his counterpart shook his head smiling. "I did, and it's the same answer no matter how many times, the person on the warpath asks about it. But if Ronald is getting jealous here, because of your fortune and immense popularity, it's because he thinks here now."
"That working with Dumbledore will bring him fame and fortune, but no you, and he's a nobody, while your female friend. And of your trio, acceptance by purebloods, it's just blood-traitors." he said and I nodded. "So he's using my friends to control me, if he foregoed the potion, stealing the car and twice walking into the forest. You have room for a pre academy cadet, Sir, in between now and school?" I asked and he smiled gently.
And at the question sternly. "Well I may not have that map, but since I never got the my form for going into village signed. That I can see where Sirius would enter here, if he's a shapeshifter, if she decides on a cat, then said Cat. It has to be beyond smart right now to tell the difference between a common garden rat, and a shapeshifter. Then said cat is possibly related to mine, if I had a cat, or my parents had one here now."
"Though when Remus sees the bloody rat, and realizes we got him, I'm calling you both immediately after the twins pass me the map. Especially if they give it as a Christmas present, it's a family heirloom, if dad is one of the shapeshifters. I swear to that, you bring me justice for my family, I help you arrest and bring a known killer. To justice and with it stop him for good, by destroying his anchors." I said and they smiled.
"I see where that question is heading and yes, you help us get one up on that old buzzard, we can train you in some spells, that will come highly useful. As you just alerted us, to the knowledge that he's not dead right now in truth. Just severely weakened, and killing every single, destroys his powers, we find the wand and snap it. His powers are bound now, as you kill him yourself." Fudge said sternly, smiling then.
"Make that two cold blooded killers, because behind that grandfatherly expression is a cold blooded murderer, but if Black is innocent here, of Pettigrew. Then he knew what would happen if Black refused, he wanted Black out of the way. So he can shape your future, to fit his grand design, all for the greater good." his assistant said and I nodded in disgust. "Destroy him, discredit the old bastard, Sirs." I said firmly and they nodded.
"Now before we do that interview, you said you're from the school educational association?" I asked and the fourth man nodded. "Are you allowed to change classes before the year starts?" I asked and he nodded. "I'm having second thoughts about being in Divination, I want to drop that class and add two others." I said and he nodded gently. "Which two exactly?" he asked me and I smiled, knowing exactly who I wanted.
"My third brother in law gave me an idea, but I want to take Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, if I had the time, I'd be taking Ancient History Of Magic here. But just 3 classes here, so that's plenty in addition to the current 7 right now." I said and he nodded smiling. "Percival gave you that suggestion, he's your idol, well that I can understand, if he said you're not missing anything, about the village, he's right, just this once."
"To a pureblood, this village and the alley are part of their being a wizard or witch, but you had more in the muggle world, you're content here in the muggle world. So you're not really missing anything here, about the village, all it is, is a bigger version. Of the alley now, but you understand, you can choose full time in the wizarding. Or take your wand back with you, and live the life of a muggle, your parents chose the first here."
"You can go without it, but next year is fine here right now, but we got the dementors on campus and patrolling the village. So better safe then sorry, as we never taught you the patronus spell yet." Crouch said and I nodded. "I promise, I'll stay on campus, you have my word." I said and he nodded, smiling then. "Well no need for a time turner, so they're not seeing me jumping back and forth." I said and they chuckled gently then.
"Can Dumbledore interfere with your decision making?" I asked and they shook their heads. "No, not when you made the decision on your own, he also can't interfere when you're under our protection, though based on his attitude. He's not going to leave it alone, but I'm the one protecting you this summer here. You broke through what he was trying to do to you, and became an experienced junior auror at this age now."
"So you're giving your first news report, okay only the facts now, start misquoting, they're in big trouble here." Crouch said and then threw a powder into the fireplace. " Davie Pechanter, I need you to come through please, I got a special exclusive. And from Potter himself now." he said and a minute later 3 people came through. "Hey Sirs, Mam, I'm Harry Potter, I got a special exclusive here, one that start things off now."
"But me nothing, but good things, Dumbledore, he's getting dragged through the mud, for destroying my life, in addition to him too, okay." I said and a blonde haired woman with green spectacles nodded. "I mean it, misquote me, you're in big trouble, because you were going to be doing the tournament next year. As to that, because I'm taking my scion position, as the new Lord Potter in my family." I said and she nodded gently.
"But my legend not many understand, as I grew up without love, not a pampered prince, as some are lead to believe, Albus Dumbledore left me to a grief stricken aunt, she hates him, for taking mum away from her, leaving her to raise me herself. There's so much more to this, that you were lead to believe, so before you start hating them. My aunt, uncle and cousin, you must understand this, why she hates magic now."
"But more than just jealousy, that he took my mother and not her, what furthered it. That hatred stems from something not many know about, are you a muggleborn?" I asked and they both nodded. "Then you seen the werewolf movie An American Werewolf in London?" I asked and they nodded. "Well then, seeing a man and woman, identical to the people playing them the truth is out, asking who they are, she told me finally."
"Why she hated Dumbledore, as there was a severe rant on Dumbledore, she blamed dad, but Vernon called Dumbledore a crackpot old fool. And with it here, was determined to not let me go, based on that, it says this. After losing mum, they never wanted to lose me, they're abusive, because they're scared out of their minds. That they'll lose me, to him or worse, Greyback, Paddy Ryan is Adam Paddy Ryan now."
"The bar leader they encountered it's on the borderline, between England and Scotland, David Kessler, David James Kessler. Is the same David Kessler, that caused the traffic accident here in London, Alex Price, his wife, is her best friend and adoptive sister." I said and they nodded. "I never saw that coming, you're adopted related, to the American Werewolf that caused that on Piccadilly Circus." she said in amazement then.
"I am, Alex is mum's adopted big sister, it's just Alex never knew I was there with Petunia, the entire 12 years. And since they, that's Dumbledore and his associates, left me on her doorstep now. But that's the other reason here she hates magic, and Dumbledore, it was 21 years ago, my adoptive Aunt's husband." I said and she nodded. "She blames Dumbledore for your parents murder, is that it?" she asked and I nodded.
"Yes, and with it, going to extremes to keep from losing me, as I now realize here, is to her, letters from Hogwarts mean one thing here. The old fool just activated my training, refusing as they never answered said correspondance. Till I get a delivery, by his go'fer himself: Rubeus Hagrid." I said and she nodded. "From there, being around his stooges, after bumping into Draco Malfoy, I was starting to be conditioned here."
"To see Slytherin as bad, Dumbledore was a god, the best house in school, was Gryffindor, till something happened that destroyed that opinion." I said and she nodded. "What might that be exactly." the editor asked me gently. "I was simply preventing Hagrid from losing his job, but the points I just gained. And from my second quidditch gam were erased, doing that, I was treated with severe scorn." I said and he nodded.
"I call that severely cruel, you were simply preventing a friend losing his job, and you lose that many points. That why just you, why not whoever ratted you out too, lost that many points with the detention." she said sternly and I nodded. "It took a near fatal encounter with Professor Quirinus Quirrell, who was a Death Eater now. To get us out of the hole, and it's the second year that their treatment of me, further crossed it."
"The line, now I never knew I was parselmouth, in the muggle world, we call it an animal whisperer, only way to calm down wild animals. Till I learn further on Salazar's reputation, after the Cat, Filch's cat, was attacked. Basing this slowly, he simply said innocent till proven guilty, and left it at that, till the dueling club. And now the entire school thinks I'm Slytherin's heir, and everyone that knew my mother's heritage."
"Said who all seem to be his stooges, barring one, or two, if you count his mother, if he and Professor Prince are related, or three, as my mother's best friend. Said is my girl member's father, her family, if we're a trio, in the maternal side. All decided, or were ordered not to speak up and after I'm attacked repeatedly. Ridiculed, and close to dropping out of school." I said then and she nodded sternly, as she wrote that down then.
"But frankly, this is and was too much, even worse, I finally discover the truth, after nearly losing my girlfriend, my bride. The man that killed my parents, he is the heir of Slytherin, but first my parents and now nearly my wife." I said, trying to control my voice then. "Realizing what the key was, after taking it to my arm, I took a fang, from the now dead basilisk, and stabbed the diary, but that did it, it's black magic now."
"Of the worst sort imaginable here, I found his weakness, the night my parents died, but I survived, my mother's charm, created enough protection. That his killing curse, hit the charm, bounced off it, and struck him instead, while tearing off a 6th piece. And of his soul and placing it inside me, which further enhanced my animal whisperer powers, I can now sense when he's close to full power and returning here, in truth."
"Learning prior to the year starting, why Hermione Granger was following me around, I learned this from her father, Daniel Granger. And said was this: her father, mum and Severus Snape are the best of Friends, had been since they were 8 years old now. With that knowledge, I now knew what he was really saying to me 'I bitterly regret Lily's death', which said this to me now, after something happened between them."
"It's just that his association with the Death Eaters that started straining things between them, as Dan was getting fed up, Dan was a muggle, mum a muggleborn, and he's a half bloood. Surrounded by purebloods, all carrying one thing in common. Till something was said to put them on opposite sides of the war now till someone. Now, let it out, that he was after mum and me and they went into hiding now at the time."
"Taking an educated guess, if Severus loved mum that much, it was him, he put us into hiding now, but now the truth got worse. Because you had the story reversed, it wasn't what everyone thought here." I said and the editor sat down on the desk. "What do you mean exactly Harry, if your memories just came back?" She asked and I nodded. "I'm saying the rat was a literal rat, dad was an animagus, as are Peter and Sirius."
"But it's time, when they chose animals, dad, nor Sirius and Remus, never knew that he would become just as his animal said, his stinkin' hide mattered more. Then my entire family, mum was pregnant with my sister." I said sadly and she nodded. "So Peter murdered your sister, in turning your family in, that it?" she asked and I nodded. "That's it exactly, it's reversed, it always was: Sirius in Peter's place, Peter's: in Sirius's."
"Dad suspected Peter was the traitor, told Sirius, and then said, after he tried to kill Severus, in 1975, that he would try this, and told Sirius, that if he turned us in. With mum that far in her pregnancy, to turn him in, and raise me himself now. If the other options, were not an option." I said and they nodded, as the editor crossed his arms. "But with no one trusting anyone, they couldn't tell Remus, as a result of Dumbledore."
"Remus, is Remus Lupin, a supposed known wolf, but feeling he owned Dumbledore something for allowing him to start school with his affliction, dad, nor Sirius. Could trust him to know they switched at the last minute, because they knew. Behind that grandfatherly complex he tries to use to get us to toe the line, go with what he wants. But there's where the story switches directions, how and why now, their origin story."
"Remus, after getting bitten was scared to make friends, afraid that once they found out they's abandon him immediately, but dad and Sirius, they didn't care. Finally getting the truth, came to a swift decision, one that resulted in said map. Carrying their nicknames, as they called themselves the Marauders, that map. It became my bloodrite, but here's where the story originated, before that map was created now."
"Back when they were kids, after learning Remus was a wolf, they decided if they can't be with him, when human, to go animal. And started spending 3 years in how to do it, by year 5, they did it finally, and chose. According to size, two big, with knowing he's a wolf, one small, only Sirius stayed loyal to dad. Remus with him, Remus saw dad as his alpha." I said and she nodded
