The next day in Dumbledore's office, Snape was arguing with him about Crouch's disappearance.
Snape: We've searched the school but there's no sign of him, Moody didn't find him either.
Dumbledore: I see, but it's alarming, first Bertha Jorkins disappears, and now Crouch, Cornelius, keeps saying that everything is fine.
Snape: That idiot, he doesn't see the signs, all these disappearances are related to the tournament, where Potter is a participant.
Dumbledore: Don't worry , while he is protected here, continue to keep an eye on Karkaroff, I fear he will retaliate for the attack on his champion.
Snape: Young Krum is just stunned, nothing that will affect him for the third task, that would be all, I'm leaving.
That same morning, Sirius sent another owl in response. It fluttered down to Harry just as a tawny owl landed in front of Hermione with a copy of the Daily Prophet in its beak. She picked up the newspaper, glanced at the front pages and said:
—Ha! He hasn't heard about Crouch!
And he began to read with Ron and Harry what Sirius had to say about the mysterious events that had occurred two nights ago.
What do you think you're playing at, Harry, taking walks in the woods with Viktor Krum? I want you to swear to me, by owl, that you will not leave the castle at night with anyone else. There is someone very dangerous at Hogwarts. They obviously wanted to prevent Crouch from seeing Dumbledore and you were probably very close to them and in the dark: they could have killed you.
Your name didn't enter the Goblet of Fire by accident. If someone tries to attack you, they still have one last chance. Don't be separated from Ron and Hermione, don't leave Gryffindor Tower at odd hours, and get ready for the last test. Practice Stunning and Disarming Charms. A few hexes would n't hurt either .
As far as Crouch is concerned, there's nothing you can do. Be very careful. I await your response giving me your word that you will not behave recklessly again.
Sirius
—And who is he to give me lessons? —Harry said somewhat indignantly, folding Sirius's letter and putting it in his robes—. With all the pranks he did at school!
—He's worried about you! Hermione snapped. Same as Moody and Hagrid! So listen to them!
—No one has tried to attack me all year. Nobody has done anything to me...
"Except putting your name in the Goblet of Fire," Hermione reminded him. And they must have done it for a reason, Harry. Sirius is right. Perhaps they are biding their time, and that moment may be the third test.
"Look," said Harry, somewhat fed up, "let's assume that Sirius is right and that someone attacked Krum to kidnap Crouch." Well, in that case they would have had to be among the trees, very close to us, right? But they waited until I was gone to act, right? It seems like I'm not their target.
—If they had murdered you in the forest they wouldn't have been able to pass it off as an accident! said Hermione. But if you die during a test...
"However, they had no problem attacking Krum," objected
Harry. Why not liquidate me at the same time? They could have made it look like Krum and I had dueled or something.
"I don't understand it either, Harry," Hermione said. I just know that a lot of weird things happen, and I don't like it... Moody is right, Sirius is right: you have to start training now for the third task. And don't forget to answer Sirius by promising that you won't go out there alone again.
At that moment Sasuke enters the great dining room, ready for breakfast, accompanied by several Slytherin classmates, where they ask him to tell them what the third test consists of, since they know that Bagman called him.
Sasuke: In a maze, I guess it will be a competition of who gets to the exit first.
Your companions, then you have it figured out how to get out, no
Sasuke: Still, I don't know how the magic hedges will grow, but if they gave us a map at the beginning, I think we wouldn't have any difficulties finding the way out.
Sasuke got up to go to his classes, and so the weeks passed, until the last week of exams arrived, where the third test would be at the end of the exams, except for the champions who were exempt from taking the exams.
After the final history of magic exam, Professor McGonagall informed him that the champions' relatives were invited to watch the finals and that they would have to gather in the hallway.
In this meeting there were only 3 champions, except one and that was Sasuke. He did not go to the meeting, he spent his time meditating in the owl tower since all the people were preparing to attend the third test.
At that meeting there were only Victor-Krum with his parents, as well as Fleur Delacur with her sister and parents.
Harry Potter was with the Weasleys and Sirius, Harry was surprised to not see Uchiha, while he was talking with Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Hermione approached, both women looked at each other with great tension, all because of what they published in the Heart of the Magazine magazine. Witch about her and Sasuke Uchiha.
Mrs. Weasley: Hermione, I want to have a chat with you in private about that Slytherin boy.
Hermione: nodded.
Until Harry intervened saying that what was published in the Witch's Heart is false, Mrs. Weasley didn't give it much thought and believed Harry's words.
Mrs. Weasly again treated Hermione kindly, but Hermione realized that all Weasleys have an intense hatred of Slytherin.
Harry: Do you have any idea why Uchiha's relatives didn't come?
No one responded until Hermione spoke.
Hermione: Maybe because they are muggles, and Hogwarts is protected against muggles because of the spells, which make this castle look like a ruined area with danger signs.
Then they went to the large dining room where they had lunch with their families. Sasuke did not appear in the large dining room, he was having lunch alone in the owl towers , while he appreciated the silence to rest until the third test began.
Ludo Bagman began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after five more minutes, I will invite everyone to the Quidditch stadium to watch the latest from the tournament.
To the applause, Harry, Fleur and Victor left the great hall.
They entered the Quidditch field and it has become completely unrecognizable, but at the entrance to the maze there was a person sitting with his eyes closed, that was Sasuke Uchiha.
A twenty-foot-high hedge surrounds the edge of the field. There is a gap in front of them, which is the entrance to this large maze.
The inner passage is black and looks a little scary.
Hagrid, Moody, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick also entered the stadium. Their hats were adorned with bright red stars.
Hagrid told Harry that they were patrolling the maze and if they saw.
The red sparks will go to rescue them.
Moody's will also venture into the maze to prevent some dangerous creatures from harming players. After all, Moody is the only person who can walk freely through the maze, relying on his magic eye.
Harry couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that Moody would enter the maze to protect them. If the Death Eater hidden in Hogwarts wants to take this opportunity to hurt himself, then he will definitely be driven mad by Moody and found.
So I'm basically safe!
Mr. Bagman finally told the rules of the game.
The four players entered the maze according to the scoring sequence above.
First the one with 100 points. Sasuke Uchiha will be the first to enter the labyrinth.
Then there's a Victor Krum and Harry Potter.
Next up is Fleur Delacur.
With loud applause from the stands and a short whistle, Harry saw Sasuke walking towards the maze.
Then it started with sounds of explosions through the maze.
Sasuke continued advancing through the labyrinth, but several acromantulas tried to attack him, but they were only burned by him as he advanced, but for some reason he always reached dead ends, so he decided to summon a small eagle to be able to see from above, but he heard the screams. from Fleur who came from behind, so he bolted in that direction, he reached her side, he was glad that she was out of danger, but he didn't know what happened, the only thing he deduced was that they had attacked her from behind, due to the position in which she was face down, then she threw red sparks into the sky to rescue her.
After walking away, he felt the presence of someone stalking him, from the shadows, that was Victor Krum.
Sasuke closed his eyes trying to find it.
Victor pointed his wand at a Sasuke with his back turned and shouted Crucio!
Sasuke's body falls to the ground, but a crash occurs, where Sasuke's body transforms into an acromantula.
Sasuke appears out of nowhere behind Krum's back, and grabs his arms and begins to twist them.
Sasuke: because you cast an unforgivable curse on me, you are so desperate to win speech-
Krum didn't say anything, Sasuke continued to squeeze harder but no sound came out of his mouth, not even those of pain.
Sasuke turns him around and looks at him more carefully, and is surprised that he is under the imperius curse, since he had seen that expression many times, before this Sasuke decides to knock him out, and is about to throw some sparks, but a spell flies directly towards him but he dodges it, leaving Krum on the ground.
Sasuke: So it was you who threw the imperius at Krum.
Sasuke: Professor Moody
Moody: Wow, you figured it out quickly, you're really smart.
Sasuke: why? You do
Moody: There's no reason for you to find out, just know that you will die here.
Sasuke and Moody began to cast spells at each other, while one blocked the other dodged, while the battle continued Sasuke tries to deduce why he wants to prolong the battle so he yells at him.
Sasuke: You are so desperate for Potter to win.
Moody: showed an angry expression upon being discovered.
Sasuke increased his speed to attack Moody, where he just dodged some spells, but the blows hit him, causing him damage.
Sasuke: It seems that your magic eye only allows you to see through things, it doesn't help you keep up with my speed.
Moody, seeing himself outnumbered, pointed his wand at Sasuke, casting a spell, but at the last second he changed the target, pointing it at Krum.
Sasuke: damn
Seeing this, Sasuke rushed to save Krum, leaving himself with a wound in his back.
Moody, seeing Sasuke wounded, launches the Avada Kedavra, but Sasuke dodges it by charging Krum.
Sasuke: You don't leave me a choice since you want to kill me, I won't hold back.
Sasuke throws a smoke bomb, blocking Moody's vision.
Moody: You're stupid, my eye allows me to see through things, even invisibility cloaks.
Using his magic eye, he is surprised because he sees 5 Uchiha, both Uchiha clones, attack Moody at the same time, but he casts an explosion spell to cover everything around him, the clones disappear in a screen of smoke, while that out of nowhere a Sasuke appears ready to hit him from behind.
Moody: Do you think I didn't see you, as he quickly turns his body and throws the Avada kedavra, before a stunned Sasuke.
But this clone also disappears, and at the same time a Rasengan appears next to Moody that sends him flying, leaving him unconscious.
Sasuke: it was at your side, idiot.
He throws some sparks so that they come for them, while he begins to run quickly due to the lost time.
As Sasuke walks along the path, he is surprised that the paths he had previously taken now have an exit, they were no longer blocked, in his mind he thinks that it was Moody who blocked them.
Sasuke performs a combination of seals and summons a small eagle, which rose above the hedges, the eagle returned to Sasuke's arm and using his Sharingan he saw what the eagle had seen, which seems to be further ahead at a distance of 40 meters away there is a cup in the center of the maze, the eagle disappears and begins to run in the direction of the cup.
He resumed his speed as he ran through the maze, but he encountered a sphinx but did not stop.
The sphinx sat on its hind legs, in the very center of the path, and recited:
If I did it to you , I would tear you apart with my claws,
but that will only happen if you don't get it.
And the answer to this riddle is not easy,
because it is far away, in bonanza lands,...
Before she could continue speaking, the sphinx's purple skull arm hit her square in the face, sending her flying out of the way.
1
Sasuke: I don't have time to waste.
Upon reaching the center, he saw how Potter approached the cup, Sasuke used most of his chakra in his feet and accelerated at high speed, just in time where they both took the cup at the same time, surprising Potter with how it appeared.
Sasuke and Harry felt like they were transported to another place, where they fell to the ground.
Sasuke dropped the Triwizard Cup.
-Where we are? -asked.
The two looked at their surroundings, the Hogwarts grounds had been abandoned. It was evident that they had traveled many kilometers, because not even the mountains surrounding the castle could be seen. They were in the dark and neglected cemetery of a small church, whose silhouette could be seen behind a large yew tree to their right. To the left rose a hill.
Sasuke looked at the Cup and then at Harry.
—Did anyone tell you that the Cup was a portkey? -asked.
"No one," Harry answered, looking at the cemetery. The silence was total and somewhat disturbing. Will this be part of the test?
"No idea," Sasuke said seriously. Should you take out your wand?
"Yes," Harry agreed, glad that the Uchiha had come forward to suggest it.
"Someone is coming," he said suddenly.
Peering into the darkness, they glimpsed a figure walking straight toward them through the tombs. Harry couldn't make out his face ; but, from the way he walked and the position of his arms, he thought he was carrying something in them. Whoever it was, he was small in stature, and wore a hooded cloak over his head that hid his face. The distance between them shortened with each step, allowing them to see that what the hooded man was carrying looked like a baby.
Harry lowered his wand a little and glanced at Sasuke. He returned a look of bewilderment. One and the other looked again at the one who was approaching, who finally stopped next to an enormous vertical marble tombstone, two meters away from them. For a second, Harry, Sasuke and the little man did nothing but look at each other.
And then, without warning, the scar began to hurt. It was a pain stronger than any other he had felt in his entire life. As he raised his hands to his face , the wand slipped from his fingers. His knees buckled.
He fell to the ground and couldn't see anything, thinking his head was going to explode.
From a distance above his head he heard a cold, sharp voice saying:
—Kill the other one.
Then he heard a whistle and a second voice, which shouted into the night air these words:
—Avada Kedavra!
Through closed eyelids, Harry caught a flash of green light, and heard something heavy fall to the ground beside him. The pain from the scar reached such intensity that he gagged, and then began to subside. Terrified of what he would see, he opened his stinging eyes.
Sasuke lay beside him, on the grass, with his legs and arms outstretched . Was dead.
The little man in the cloak had put down his mess of clothes and, with his wand lit, was dragging Harry towards the marble tombstone. By the light of the wand, Harry saw the name inscribed on the tombstone before he was thrown against it:
TOM RYDDLE
The man in the cloak magically made ropes appear that held Harry firmly, tying him to the tombstone from neck to ankles.
He struggled, and the man hit him: he hit him with a hand that was missing a finger, and then Harry realized who was hiding under the hood: Wormtail.
-You! —he said panting.
But Wormtail, who had finished holding it, did not answer: he was too busy testing the firmness of the ropes, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably as they fumbled with the knots. When he was sure that Harry was so firmly tied to the tombstone that he couldn't move an inch, Wormtail pulled a long strip of black cloth from his cloak and stuffed it into Harry's mouth. Then, without saying a word, he turned his back on her and hurried away.
A little further away, shining in the starlight, was the Triwizard Cup. Harry's wand was on the floor at his feet. The bundle of clothes that Harry had thought was a baby was near him, next to the grave.
He was shaking disturbingly. Harry looked at him, and the scar hurt again... and suddenly he realized that he didn't want to see what was inside those clothes... he didn't want the mess to open up...
He heard a noise at his feet. He looked down and saw a giant snake slithering through the grass, surrounding the tombstone to which he was tied. He heard again, louder and louder, Wormtail's rapid, labored breathing, who dreamed as if he were carrying something heavy. Then he entered Harry's field of vision, who saw him pushing something that looked like a stone cauldron, apparently filled with water, to the grave. He heard it splash to the ground, and it was larger than any cauldron he had ever used: it was a kind of stone basin capable of containing a seated adult man.
The thing inside the mess of clothes on the floor thrashed more persistently, as if trying to free itself. At that moment, Wormtail was doing something in the background of the cauldron with wand. Suddenly crackling flames erupted beneath him . The snake crawled away into the darkness.
The liquid contained in the cauldron seemed to heat up very quickly. The surface began to not only bubble, but also send up searing sparks, as if it were on fire. The steam thickened, blurring the silhouette of Wormtail, who was tending the fire. The mess of clothes began to stir louder, and Harry heard the cold, sharp voice again:
-Hurry up!
—It's ready, master.
"Now..." said the cold voice.
Wormtail opened the tunic-like mess of clothing, revealing what was inside, and Harry let out a scream that was muffled by what Wormtail had stuffed into his mouth. It was as if Wormtail had lifted a stone and revealed something hidden, hideous and slimy... but a hundred times worse than you can say. What Wormtail had brought with him had the shape of a crouching child, but Harry had never seen anything less like a child: it had no hair, and the skin was scaly-looking, a dark reddish black, like raw flesh; the arms and legs were very thin and weak; and the face...
No child alive would ever have a face like that: it was flat and snake-like, with bright red eyes.
He seemed unable to take care of himself: he raised his thin arms , put them around Wormtail's neck, and Wormtail lifted him up. As he did so, his hood fell off, and in the light of the campfire Harry caught a look of disgust on Wormtail's pale face as he carried him to the edge of the cauldron.
Then he saw, for a moment, the flat, evil face illuminated by the sparks flying from the surface of the potion, and heard the dull thud of the frail body against the bottom of the cauldron.
Let him drown, Harry thought, his scar hurting almost more than he could bear. Please... let him drown..."
Wormtail spoke. His voice came out shaky, and he seemed terrified.
He raised his wand, closed his eyes and spoke into the night:
—Bone of the father, granted without knowing it, you will renew your son!
At this point, Wormtail was whimpering. From inside his robe he took out a long, shiny, silver dagger with a thin blade. His voice broke into sobs of horror.
—Meat... of the vassal... voluntarily offered... you will revive your lord!
He extended his right hand, the hand that was missing a finger. He gripped the dagger very tightly with his left hand, and raised it.
Wormtail sobbed and moaned in pain. Until he noticed her heavy breathing on his face , Harry didn't realize that he was right in front of him.
—Sa... blood of the enemy... taken by force... you will resurrect the one you hate.
Harry could do nothing to stop it, so firmly was he bound.
Glancing down from the corner of his eye, struggling uselessly with the ropes holding him to the tombstone, he saw the shining silver dagger, trembling in Wormtail's remaining hand. He felt the tip penetrate the crook of the elbow of his right arm, and the blood trickled down the sleeve of his torn tunic.
Staggering, he carried Harry's blood to the cauldron and poured it into it. Instantly the liquid turned a blinding white color. Having finished the work, Wormtail fell to his knees beside the cauldron; then he collapsed on his side and lay on the grass, clutching his bloody stump, sobbing and gasping...
The cauldron bubbled, splashing sparks of such blinding brilliance in all directions that everything else seemed velvety black.
Nothing happened...
"That he drowned," Harry thought, "that it went wrong..."
And then, suddenly, the sparks flying from the cauldron died out. A huge amount of white steam arose in thick clouds and enveloped everything, so that he couldn't see either Wormtail or Sasuke or anything else apart from the steam suspended in the air.
"It went badly," he thought. He has drowned... Please... please let him be dead...»
But then, through the fog, he saw, terrified, that from inside the cauldron slowly rose the dark silhouette of a man, tall and thin like a skeleton.
"Dress me," said the cold, high-pitched voice through the steam, and Wormtail, sobbing and groaning, still clutching his mutilated arm, reached with difficulty for the black tunic on the floor, stood up, approached his master, and stood. He placed it on top with one hand.
The thin man stepped out of the cauldron, staring at Harry...and Harry stared at the face that had fueled his nightmares for the past three years. Whiter than a skull, with purple-red eyes , and a nose as flattened as a snake's, with small slits in it instead of holes.
Lord Voldemort was back.
1 hour would have passed, after receiving the Avada kedavra, an injured Sasuke woke up after being unconscious, then he remembers what happened.
An hour before, Sasuke in his thoughts, where we are it seems that the test is over, I need to sit down to rest the last race I am exhausted and I also need to treat this wound that continues to bleed.
1
As he prepares to sit down to treat his wound, he hears the killing spell directed towards him.
Sasuke: Damn, I don't have time to dodge, it's all or nothing.
Sasuke casts a silent spell (Serpensody), a snake comes out from under Sasuke's clothes, he swallows the spell and due to the impact of the spell he flies off, where he hits his head and remains unconscious until he wakes up.
Before him a scene appears where Potter and that bald guy are connected by the spells of their wands, then figures like ghosts appear, but he decides to concentrate on closing his wounds while concentrating his chakra on the affected areas.
--
Meanwhile Harry takes the cup to escape, Voldemort is blocked by the ghosts, but quickly frees himself.
Voldemort: that portkey takes 5 seconds to activate, you are dead by then he points his wand and says Avada Keda...
Voice: Expelliarmus
Everything freezes when Voldemort loses his wand, look where the voice came from and that was Sasuke was alive.
Harry: give me your hand... While it disappears.
Voldemort: Damn, you made me lose my prey, but you paid for it, while I picked up his wand.
Most of the Death Eaters were surprised to recognize him, except one that was Lucius, who would observe the duel between the two in detail.
Sasuke in his mind, damn I don't have enough magic or chakra left, I've spent most of it on the tournament and on healing myself.
Voldemort: Cruccio scream
Sasuke dodges it by throwing himself to the ground, while taking cover behind some tombstones.
Voldemort: It seems you only know how to run, come out and face me.
Sasuke: in his mind he calls his 4 elves (winki, alpha, gamma , beta)
Elves: yes master.
Sasuke: Listen carefully, come where I am but wait within a radius of 20 meters and bring all the explosive seals from the house, the plan is...
Voldemort: shouts explosion, destroying most of the tombstones leaving Sasuke with no place to cover
At Hogwarts, Harry appears out of nowhere crying, a pair of hands grabbed him tightly and turned him face up.
—Harry ! Harry!
He opened his eyes and Dumbledore was next to him, crouching. They were surrounded by the dark shadows of a dense crowd of people jostling each other in an attempt to get closer.
He had returned to the edge of the maze. He could see the steps rising above him, the shapes of the people moving along them , and the stars above.
Harry dropped the Cup, and spoke. He's back, Harry whispered. He has returned. Voldemort.
-What happen? What happened?
Cornelius Fudge's face appeared above Harry, turned upside down.
He looked white and shocked.
-Where is Mr. Uchiha! —he exclaimed—
Harry broke down and screamed: he stayed with Voldemort, he didn't want to abandon him, I swear he didn't want to abandon him, I thought he was dead.
Those words were reproduced, and the shadows around them took them away.
They repeated it to those behind them, and then others shouted them, shouted them into the night:
Fudge was shocked upon hearing those words, Fudge's bodyguards approached Dumbledore.
Bodyguard: Whether it's true or not, we have to rescue him, wait a while, I'll call a squad of Aurors, then we'll use the portkey.
Dumbledore: It's too late, the magic of the portkey in the cup has run out, we won't know where we have to go. (In his mind it is most likely that that child is dead)
Moody takes Harry, to get him out of the crowd and talk, because most people were wondering what happened to Uchiha, the fans were crying in silence.
Having nowhere to cover, Voldemort shouts Cruccio, shocking Sasuke.
Sasuke restrains himself by trying not to scream so as not to give her the satisfaction that he is causing her harm.
Voldemort, wow, you seem to be resisting it well, let's see how long you can last before you burst into tears.
Voldemort: Cruccio
Sasuke dodges it, and casts a stunning spell, which is blocked by Voldemort as if it were nothing.
Sasuke summons many kunai from a scroll, and throws them from all directions at Voldemort.
Voldemort easily dodges them by using apparition to get to their side.
Voldemort: that's it, and shouts expulsion, sending Sasuke flying.
Sasuke falls on the floor away from Voldemort, while he tries to get up, Voldemort watches him waiting for what he will surprise him with.
Most of the Death Eaters observe with mockery how the Muggle who disgraced the house of Slyterin by entering will die. Lucius was still surprised since Sasuke's gaze did not show desperation as with other wizards who faced their master, instead his eyes showed a murderous look, as if they were the prey.
Sasuke takes out his wand: he shouts serpensodia duo, two white snakes appearing that move to attack Voldemort.
These snakes begin to wrap him around, Sasuke shows a relieved expression, until he hears a word he doesn't understand, both snakes release Voldemort and head to attack Sasuke.
Voldemort: good spell, pity it doesn't work against parselmouths
Sasuke: finally incantate, the two snakes disappearing in a screen of smoke.
Voldemort: Do you really think you will escape, I have surrounded the area with an anti-disappearance spell, only death awaits you, go Nagini kill him (in his mind the snakes detect heat you will never be able to hide from Nagini)
In the middle of the smoke screen were Sasuke and Winki, reporting that they had already placed the seals in the indicated places, Sasuke nods and asks for the five leftovers.
While Sasuke and Winki were preparing to escape, Nagini appears ready to bite Winki, but Sasuke catches her by her neck, while he ties her with some cables and nails a kunai to the floor to trap her using the cables, he places the 5 leftover seals around her. body.
Voldemort: passing nagini answers
Sasuke performs a game of seals and shouts Katon: Kibaku Enjin (Explosive Flames Formation), all the seals move to cover the entire ground where those present are while they light up, everyone does not know what this is and does not know how to react until they explode, covering everything around him.
Boooommm
In the small town of Hagleton, residents woke up, others were frightened by the tremendous roar that was heard, which came from the town cemetery, alarmed residents went to the emergency shelters, others began calling the authorities as firefighters and police to find out what is happening, since in their minds what was happening was that the sound was due to explosions or the fall of a meteorite, since the first did not make much sense since no terrorist would attack a cemetery , it had no logic.
In the cemetery you could see figures of people who were injured, other bodies lying on the ground dead, due to the damage from the explosion, a few others were unharmed but only with a few scratches.
Voldemort scream damn boy
Voldemort started calling Nagini but there was no answer, he called again but she didn't answer, this worried him a lot.
Then he shouted-find nagini immediately.
The wounded and unharmed Death Eaters did not move because they were still stunned by the explosion, until Voldemort, fed up, cast the Crucio curse on Wormtail, who screamed in pain for everyone to react.
Of the uninjured who only had scratches, they moved quickly (Wormtail, Malfoy, Crabe and Goyle), while the injured who had their arms amputated ( the Carrow brothers, Avery) moved slowly but watched their dead friends (Nott, Macnair, Yaxley). ).
After a few minutes Lucius found what was left of Nagini's dead body and informed his master, who screamed at the sky while spinning.
Voldemort: damn suicidal, in his mind (I let my guard down to have fun torturing him, the hell I didn't imagine that he would sacrifice himself to kill us, and the worst thing is that Nagini was my horcrux that I made at the beginning of summer)
Lucius: teacher
Voldemort: let's go and make the bodies disappear
While they were about to retreat, Avery falls to the ground dead due to blood loss, since he was looking for Nagini instead of taking care of his wounds for fear of his master. After finding Nagini's body, the other brothers were only able to treat themselves. provisionally amputating his arms, while they collected his pieces to go to St. Mungo's to have him reattached.
In the forbidden forest an apparition crack sounded, near a hidden shelter 4 elves and a young man appeared, that young man was Sasuke Uchiha, upon entering their shelter, the elves began the recovery treatment, while the weakened Uchiha took a potion to regain the lost blood he had lost since saving Krum, but his temporary healings during the test only closed the wound, they did not recover the lost blood.
The elves, after finishing the treatment, the Uchiha went to sleep to regain his strength, since tomorrow he would be fully recovered while his elves kept vigil at his bed.
Meanwhile in the castle Moody's wand was still pointed directly at Harry's heart.
Over his shoulder, in the enemy reflector hanging on the wall, he saw nebulous shapes approaching.
your fair share of trouble in the labyrinth," he continued. It was because I was hanging around. I could see through the hedges outside , and I cursed many obstacles out of your way: I stunned Fleur Delacour as she passed; I put the curse on Krum
imperius to eliminate Uchiha, and I left you the clear path to the
Cup.
But I didn't count that Uchiha was so strong, he defeated Krum easily, I tried to buy time by facing him but he defeated me, he also faced all the traps that I set for him, I gathered all the creatures of the labyrinth to attack him but his power and talent surpassed My imagination,
But in the end I went to the cemetery and everything turned out well.
Harry looked at Moody. He didn't understand how it was possible that Dumbledore's friend, the famous auror, the one who had caught so many Death Eaters... It made no sense, no sense.
"The Dark Lord didn't get to kill you, Potter, which is what he wanted."
Moody whispered. Imagine how he will reward me when he sees that I have done it for him.
"The Dark Lord and I have a lot in common," Moody said. We both, for example, had a very disappointing father... a lot. We have both suffered the humiliation of bearing our father's name, Harry. And we both enjoyed the pleasure... the enormous pleasure of killing our father to ensure the unstoppable rise of the Dark Order!
-You are crazy! exclaimed Harry, unable to contain himself, "he's completely crazy!"
-Crazy me? said Moody, raising his voice uncontrollably. We'll see! We will see who is crazy, now that the Lord has returned!
Dark and I will be at your side! He has returned, Harry Potter! You couldn't beat him, and I can beat you!
Moody raised his wand and opened his mouth. Harry reached into his robe...
—Faint!
There was a blinding flash of red light and, with a loud bang, the door was kicked down.
Moody fell to the ground on his back. Harry, his eyes still focused on where Moody's face had been, saw Albus Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and Professor McGonagall staring at him from the enemy spotlight. He looked away from the reflector, and saw the three of them in the doorway. In front, with his wand extended, was Dumbledore.
At that moment, Harry understood for the first time why people said that Dumbledore was the only wizard Voldemort feared.
"Come on, Potter," he whispered. The thin line of his lips was twitching as if he were about to cry. Come with me, to the infirmary...
"No," Dumbledore said sharply.
He has to understand why, so he asked Snape for the veritaserum, gave him the fake Moody, and asked him where the real Alastor Moody is.
Harry asked him what he was talking about.
Dumbledore explained to him that the real Moody would not take him out of his sight in this situation, when I saw how he took you away I understood.
Snape was checking his canteen and said it's Polyjuice potion.
The fake Moody said the real one was locked in that trunk
Then the potion wore off and he returned to his original form.
Dumbledore said Barty Crouch Junior, then due to the effect Barty told everything, how he had escaped from Azkaban, how he helped Potter pass the tests and how he killed his father when he came to warn Dumbledore, and how he stunned Fleur Dealacur, He used the Imperius Curse on Krum and how the Uchiha defeated him, but was happy to confirm that the two were transferred and the plan was successful.
Dumbledore took Harry to his office, where Sirius was waiting, and told them everything that had happened in the cemetery.
Dumbledore silently told Snape to do what he had to do and if possible try to recover the boy 's body .
Sirius was furious about what Wormtail did and wondered how he escaped and why no one gave the warning.
The Weasleys were waiting for him outside, Hermione, behind them came Professor McGonagall along with Fudge, she was furious at what the minister did, she said that he brought a dementor, and it gave Barty Crouch Junior a kiss, Dumbledore He got angry and told him that he killed the person responsible for everything that happened and that Voldemort has returned, Fudge said that he did it because he is crazy, and he refused to believe that Voldemort returned, he cannot return.
He warned him that you had to be on his side or he would consider him an enemy. He left upset but left Potter the tournament prize. Harry didn't want it. He told everything that happened again to his friends, but that money belongs to Sasuke. As he headed to the great hall after sleeping for 2 hours due to a potion, he saw that all the flags had been replaced with black ones, signaling the mourning they were in, many girls were crying, some Slytherin students were whispering.
Dumbledore: Yesterday at the tournament we not only lost a talented wizard, a friend, someone part of this family that is Hogwarts, that's why they deserve to know how he died. The Ministry didn't want me to tell them but I consider that an insult to their memory.
Fudge was standing with his mouth open because he knew what Albus was going to say and he couldn't stop him, because despite warning him he wasn't stupid and he knew that Dumbledore was the most powerful wizard of all time.
Dumbledore: Uchiha Sasuke was killed by?
The door to the great dining room was suddenly opened, several heads turned to see who was interrupting their director's speech. When they turned, most of them were left with their mouths open, that was Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke said sorry for the delay, I got lost on the path of life.
Everyone couldn't believe what was happening, not that he had died, everyone thought he was a ghost, but he was alive, all of Hogwarts celebrated Sasuke's return.
Luna and Zacarías left their respective tables to greet him for his return
The teachers, the Weasleys, Sirius and Dumbledore were surprised at how this boy survived. Dumbledore thoroughly checked his arms but, finding nothing, he continued observing the boy.
Sasuke moved and went to where Harry Potter was, Harry thought he was going to complain to him for abandoning him, but he just told him we had to redo the third test since the last one was rigged for you to win.
Everyone froze when they heard those words.
His fans screamed with joy, Sasuke, observing the teachers' table carefully, found himself with Moody, Sasuke approached slowly and out of nowhere accelerated, grabbing the knife from the table and immobilizing Moody.
Sasuke shouted: Speak because you cast the killing curse on me in the labyrinth.
Moody didn't talk because they had no idea what he was talking about.
Sasuke: So desperate were you for Potter to win, that you threw the imperius at Krum, speak, as he continued to push the knife at Moody's throat.
Dumbledore spoke explaining that what happened was a terrible accident, where a Death Eater posed as Professor Moody, with the help of the Polyjuice potion, believe me boy, this Professor Moody is the real one.
Sasuke accepted the director 's explanations , as he released Moody, who was bewildered by the way he was restrained.
Everyone in the great dining room was surprised by the development of this scene and even more so when listening to the explanations of the director and the Uchiha.
Sasuke took out his wand and said sonorus
Gentlemen, authorities from different schools and representatives of the ministry, you do not believe that the tournament deserves a winner, since the third test was full of cheating and is invalid, therefore I propose that we have a duel between the four of us at the same time, as we leave. By eliminating they will be defined from fourth to first place, since the last one standing will be the first place unless they are afraid watching the other champions.
Dumbledore: Mr. Uchiha, I don't think it's time for...
Madame Maxime: Dumbledore, we have already allowed you and your ministry to do what you wanted until we have two champions, but what this boy proposes is the best option, therefore my school accepts the challenge.
Krum: I also accept, this cannot end like this, there has to be a winner.
Harry was left to accept but he was too surprised to say anything, until Sirius spoke up accepting for him, claiming that a Gryffindor never runs away from a challenge.
Dumbledore resignedly accepts, while asking Filius and Minerva to transfigure a platform for the afternoon on the Quiditch field to begin the third task.
While the others prepare, three meetings take place in different areas of Hogwarts.
In the Gryfindor common room they were discussing how Sasuke Uchiha had managed to escape.
Hermione: maybe he knows how to apparate
Ron: I don't think so, maybe I use dark magic.
Harry: Maybe he used his house elves, like for the first test.
Ron: Don't you think maybe he has joined He Who Must Not Be Named, since Snape is his Head of House maybe he spoke up on his behalf.
Harry: I don't think so, since Voldemort only said that he had a spy at Hogwarts and that was Barty junior.
In the Slytherin common room, Sasuke had told his friends that he managed to escape from that bald man with the help of his elves, so it didn't bother him that he needed to rest for the final test.
In the headmaster 's office , several adults were waiting for Snape's report on how the boy escaped or if he joined He Who Must Not Be Named.
Snape: I didn't find anyone, I managed to locate the cemetery, but the entire area is destroyed, the Muggles only report that it was the fall of a meteorite , I don't know whose memory they modified but the news spread to the neighboring city, there is no more tests.
Dumbledore: For now there is nothing to do, we will observe this duel to determine if Mr. Uchiha may or may not use dark magic, but during the holidays we will keep an eye on him, and Severus tries to contact Lucius for more information.
Severus: ok
Black mocks Snape, but leaves for the Gryffindor common room to give Harry some advice so he can win.
Sirius arrives at the common room and calls Harry for a walk, but they go out to the lake to meet Krum, who is surprised by Sirius' appearance, who confesses that he used Harry's name to call him:
Sirius: If I made them meet, it's so they can work together in this duel .
Harry and Victor: whatee
Sirius: As you know, Uchiha is strong, if they fight individually they won't have a chance.
Harry and Victor: Nod, since it's true
Sirius: My proposal is that you eliminate the Uchiha first, then the Delacour girl, then the first two places would be disputed by you.
Harry: But Delacour won't attack us.
Sirius: I don't think so, since for her the most logical thing would be to finish off the strongest first, rather she would support them
The afternoon arrived, and everyone went down to the stadium for the final of the tournament, Fudge was happy, because the lies that Dumbledore told about the return of He Who Must Not Be Named were exaggerations, Above all, Mr. Uchiha was unharmed, Now only the newspapers will only report the final of the tournament, I will make sure that they do not publish anything about Barty junior, he will be forgotten.
In the stands the bets remained the same since the third test, the platform was square and each champion was standing in a corner waiting for the sound of the cannon to begin.

Boooom
While the three champions were preparing to look at their opponents, something caught their attention; Uchiha had his wand pointed at the sky, while three fireballs with a diameter of 0.50 m were formed. Before they reacted, the three balls headed towards Harry, Fleur and Krum.
As the fireballs approached they reacted but in different ways.
Krum: shouts aguamenti maxima, a jet of water comes out from his wand to intercept the fireball that was only a meter away from him.
turtle shell , transfigures the ground and recreates a turtle shell as a shield.
Harry: shouts protego, but the heat generated makes them distracted as they were concentrating on maintaining the spell.
He pays dearly for the distraction since when the fire spell disappears, Uchiha disappears from his sight.
When Harry looks ahead he can't find it, until he hears a voice telling him rasengan too late, Harry leaves the platform unconscious due to the impact.
The commentators, this duel is exciting, it does not allow us to take our eyes off or we will lose it, what do you think, my guest Moody.
Moody: They are good magicians, but they take a long time thinking, that's why Mr. Uchiha has the advantage in this duel, since it seems that he fights by instinct, but to develop it you have to have a lot of experience near death or in battles.
Commentator: in case he doesn't have that experience, because he's almost a child, how can he fight like that.
Moody: The other option is that this boy has what the other "Talent" for battles lacks.
When Harry is eliminated, you already know who is in fourth place, Fleur is shocked, Krum is blind since the impact of the fireball and his water spell generated a screen of smoke.
Sasuke: duo serpensodia, the two white snakes head at full speed to attack the two remaining champions.
Fleur: Vispera evanesca shouts, but the snake dodges them as they move towards her , but continues to throw in desperation but the snake continues dodging.
Krum hears this sound, where it comes from, and in desperation he casts spells that are easily dodged by both champions. Sasuke remembers that snakes can see people's body heat, which is why he is perfect for attacking Krum, as he quickly catches him. , while the smoke disperses, everyone observes the horrendous scene of Krum trapped by a snake, while he receives a kick in the face that knocks him to the ground, still tied to the snake.
Fleur manages to calm down and her Eve Eve spell impacts the snake that vanishes. Looking at the Uchihah's back, she points her wand and casts a silent spell in his direction.
Sensing the spell approaching, Sasuke lifts Krum with one hand and uses him as a shield, where he is unconscious upon receiving Fleur's spell, and ends up throwing him off the platform with the snake coiled around his body.
Commentator: Mr. Uchiha did not hesitate to use Mr. Krum as a shield, now we have defined the third place, now it only remains to decide who will win, it will be Miss Delacour or Mr. Uchiha.
Fleur, upon seeing Sasuke, looked at his eyes, but what she felt was her killer instinct, she began to despair and began to cast spells without stopping, where the Uchiha easily blocked them, then he began to walk in her direction while dodging the spell easily. only with minimal movements.
Fleur, due to her desperation, ends up exhausting her magic while Sasuke approaches. She thinks about giving up but when she looks at the stands she manages to hear her sister Gabrielle "yelling at her, don't give up, sister ."
Just by looking at his sister he regains his determination but for some reason when he comes out of despair and gains strength from the love of his sister, the tips of his hair change to fiery red, while a magical energy awakens inside him, and launches a fireball from his hands, surprising the Uchiha.
The commentators and the public were left with their mouths open at such a demonstration, no one knew what it was, until Principal Dumbledore spoke: incredible, he awakened his Veela powers inherited from his grandmother, I think, this is an unprecedented case.
Not dodging the fireball in time because he didn't see it coming, Sasuke retreats but his polo shirt is burned, but he takes it off in time.
In the stands the girls scream at seeing him without a polo shirt.
But out of nowhere begins Fleur's barrage of fireballs, where Sasuke begins to dodge trying to think of a way to get closer, but it only causes Fleur to continue shooting.
Tribune the commentator shouts that Miss Delacour has Mr. Uchiha trapped, her victory is certain .
Moody: smart boy
Commenter: because you say that, we all watch how Miss Delacour has him trapped, it's only a matter of time.
Moody: Look closely, Miss Delacour is showing signs of exhaustion, while Mr. Uchiha is fine.
Fleur felt that the energy acquired was completely exhausted, as she falls unconscious to the floor, Sasuke catches her before hitting the ground.
Commentator: I think we have a winner, the winner of the triwizard tournament is Sasuke Uchiha from Slytherin.
The entire stands shouted in applause for the victory, they began to shout the Uchiha's name, but some girls cast envious glances at Fleur who was being carried by Sasuke Uchiha in a princess position.
Some boys looked with envy at Sasuke for carrying Fleur like that .
Sasuke walked in the direction of the director Madame Maxime to hand over his student who was passed out due to magical exhaustion.
After that Sasuke raised his hand in victory, while everyone shouted his name.
In the center of the platform the minister of magic approached to present the respective awards and congratulate Mr. Uchiha for the victory.
The defeated champions were in the infirmary, but since they did not suffer much damage they quickly left there, and went to rest since they had to leave the next day, since school was over until next summer.
But in the Slytherin common room the party continued until the next day. Sasuke was celebrating with Luna and Zacarias in their common room, until the elves took them back to their respective rooms.
While everyone left before getting into their respective carriage, Gabrielle approached him to say goodbye, followed by his sister, where they both congratulated him on his victory. Fleur thanked him that thanks to the confrontation he acquired a new power, he mastered it and I will return to you. to challenge
Sasuke nods saying that it's fine while smiling at a totally embarrassed fleur (remembering the photos his classmates showed him of her being carried like a princess by the pololess guy).
Gabrielle watches this scene and says Sasuke, you think my sister is pretty .
Sasuke , as if it were no big deal, says yes.
Gabrielle: So why don't you become my brother-in-law, it happens that my sister doesn't have a boyfriend.
Most of the people who stopped to watch this interaction gaped at Gabrielle's words as they walked away to share new gossip.
Sasuke: Little girls shouldn't talk about those things.
Gabrielle: Huh.
Fleur was completely red, she tried to calm down as she said goodbye to the Uchiha, giving him a kiss on the cheek, telling him that we would see each other again soon, each one boarding their respective carriage.
On the train, Sasuke looked for a cabin for himself, since his friends Luna and Zacarias would soon join him.
In another cabin Hermione returned from the cart and put the money in her backpack, she took out a copy of The Daily Prophet that she had in it. Harry looked at him, not sure he wanted to know what he was saying, but Hermione, seeing his attitude, commented in a calm voice:
—There is nothing coming in relation to you. You can see for yourself: there is nothing at all. I've been looking at it every day. Just a great article on how Sasuke won the Tournament and his performance in the three tests, nothing that should not be named.
If you ask me, I think Fudge forced them to silence him.
"He'll never silence Rita Skeeter," Harry said. Not with such a story.
"Ah, Rita hasn't written anything at all since the third task," Hermione said in a strangely choked voice. In fact, Rita Skeeter won't be writing anything for some time. Not unless you want me to reveal the cake to you.
-What are you taking about? —Ron asked.
"I've found out how you manage to listen in on private conversations when you're banned from school grounds, " he said.
Rita Skeeter is an unregistered Animagus.
a small, closed glass jar out of her backpack— into a beetle.
—You're kidding! Ron exclaimed. You haven't... She hasn't...
"Yes, she does," Hermione declared happily, brandishing the jar before them.
Inside were twigs, leaves, and a big, fat beetle.
"That can't be... You're kidding us," Ron said, putting the jar at eye level.
"No, seriously," Hermione said, smiling. I caught it on the windowsill of the infirmary. If you look closely you will see that the markings around the antenna are like those on those hideous glasses he wears.
—I have explained to her that I will let her out when we get to London. I have put an unbreakable charm on the jar, so that she cannot transform. And she already knows that she has to be quiet for a whole year. We'll see if he can kick the habit of writing horrible lies about people.
Smiling serenely, Hermione put the beetle back into her backpack.
compartment door opened.
"Very clever, Granger," Draco Malfoy said.
Crabbe and Goyle were behind him. The three of them seemed more satisfied, arrogant and threatening than ever.
"So you've caught that pathetic journalist," Malfoy added thoughtfully, leaning out and looking at them with a slight smile on his lips, "and Potter is Dumbledore's favorite boy again." Cool. —His smile deepened. Crabbe and Goyle also looked at them with evil smiles.
Trying not to think about it, huh? Pretending it didn't happen?
"Get out," Harry said.
He hadn't had Malfoy around since he'd seen him whispering with Crabbe and Goyle during Dumbledore's speech.
"You've chosen the losing side, Potter!" I warned you! I told you you should choose your companies more carefully, remember? When we met on the train, the day we entered Hogwarts. I told you not to hang out with such a mob! —He nodded toward Ron and Hermione—
It's too late, Potter! Now that the Dark Lord has returned, the Mudbloods and Muggle friends will be the first to fall! It was as if someone had lit a box of flares in the compartment. Blinded by the glare of the enchantments that had come from all directions, deafened by the explosions.
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle were unharmed, a barrier covered the three of them, Sasuke had protected them, they complained to him for protecting him, he responded that six against three is unfair if they want to fight, let it be one on one.
Malfoy was surprised at how he blocked those spells without using a wand, it seems that Sasuke is getting stronger.
Sasuke told the three of them let's go.
Ron exclaimed, What's wrong with him because he is on Malfoy's side, he doesn't realize that Malfoy hates muggles and supports He Who Should Not Be Named.
Everyone fell silent.
In Harry's compartment, Fred, George and Neville stayed.
—Does anyone want to play a game with the exploding cards? Fred asked, taking out a deck of cards.
They were on their fifth game when Harry decided to ask them:
—Are you going to tell us? Who were you blackmailing?
"Ah," George said with some mystery. That!
"It doesn't matter," Fred replied.
"We've given up," George added with a shrug.
—Okay, okay. If you really want to know... it was Ludo
Bagman.
—Bagman? Harry snapped. You mean it was wrapped in...?
"What 's wrong, " George replied with a somber tone. Not at all. He's a cretin. He doesn't have enough brains for that.
-So? Ron asked.
—Do you remember the bet we made with him, at the Quidditch World Cup? We bet that Ireland would win but that Krum would catch the snitch.
"We remember," said Harry and Ron.
—Well, the idiot paid us in leprechaun gold that he had taken from the Irish team's mascots .
-Yeah?
"Yes," Fred confirmed sullenly. And it faded, of course. The next morning, there was nothing left!
—But... it must have been a mistake, right? —Hermione commented.
—Yes, that was what we thought at first. We thought that if we wrote to him explaining the mistake he had made, he would cough up the money. But nothing of that.
He didn't pay attention to our letter. We tried repeatedly to talk to him at Hogwarts, but he always had some excuse to leave.
"It got pretty nasty in the end," Fred explained. He told us we were too young to bet, and that he wouldn't give us anything.
—So we asked him to at least give us our money back.
"He wouldn't refuse that !" —Hermione exclaimed, almost voiceless.
—I believe he refused! —said Fred.
—But they were all your savings!
"You don't have to explain it to us," George said. Of course, we eventually found out what was happening. Lee Jordan's father had also had a lot of trouble getting Bagman to give him the money. Turns out he's in trouble with the goblins. They lent him a lot of money. A gang of them cornered him in the forest after the World Cups and took all the gold he had with him, and it was still not enough to pay everything he owed them. They followed him to Hogwarts so he wouldn't slip away. He has lost everything in the game. He has nowhere to drop dead. And do you know how he tried to pay the goblins?
-As? Harry asked.
"He bet on you, man," Fred explained. He bet a lot against the goblins that you would win the Tournament.
—That's why he insisted on helping me! —Harry exclaimed.
Fred: But we made a small fortune betting on who would take second place, due to Uchiha's performance, it was decided who would take first place, that's why there was no betting house, so we sold our belongings and some formulas to Zonco to be able to We opened the betting house where we would bet on who would occupy second place.
