A/N: Second to last chapter! And fic of the month. I have no idea when I'll get to the final chapter.
Chapter 24: Explaining Things at School
Haru remerged from the portal. Many of those watching were confused at how he could just come back./ Those there was that realized that "Yeah… that makes sneeze he just come like it was nothing."
Still a lot of people were still freaking out.
Including Cedric.
"Haru! Are you okay?" asked Cedric.
"Oh yeah I'm fine." Said Haru.
Cedric sighed at that.
"Are you sure." Said Cedric.
"So what happened when you got here… because I remember the Auror showed up." Said Haru.
Cedric sighed.
(Flashback)
Cedric fell out of the portal and everyone was confused'
Various people headed towards him.
"What happened?" asked Pro. Dumbledore.
"The cup was a Portkey" said Cedric, "I don't know who it was but there was a voice saying to kill the spare… Haru sent me through the portal before anything could be done."
The Aurors who had arrived earlier were concerned.
"Considering the news we had gotten." Said another of them.
"Wait what?" asked Cedric.
"We can't share it right now but it's really bad." Said one of the Aurors.
"What is going on!" demanded Fudge as he was confused by the Auror.
"Barty Crouch is lucid and he told us everything." Said one of the Aurors.
Fudge was still concerned.
"He revealed so much." Said the Auror.
Fudge didn't know how react.
"We can't say what he told us… but what is was… was bad.. and also he's been arrested." Said the Auror.
"What did he do!" yelled Fudge.
"We can't say until we're able to arrest someone else." Said the Auror.
"Who do you have to arrest!" said Fudge.
"We can't say." Said the Auror.
Fudge began to get angry.
"If he finds out he might get away." Said the Auror.
"Who?" asked Fudge.
"We can't tell you right now." said the Auror.
A lot of people stared at the interaction between Fudge and the Auror as it seemed like he was caught in a loop. Causing the Straw Hats to stare in confusion knowing he won't get answer at this time.
"So tell me what happened." Another Auror approached Cedric .
"Oh right: said Cedric.
Cedric explained they ended up in a graveyard.
"Call more Aurors and go to every single graveyard." Said the Auror taking charge.
"Will Harry Potter be all right?" asked another of the Aurors.
"He'll be fine." Sighed Cedric.
"What do you mean he'll be fine!" yelled one of the Aruors
"Didn't he make a dragon cry?" asked one other of the other Aurors.
Still they really should go find Haru.
Of course the adults knew that Haru was fine.
"So what do you think is going on?" asked Luffy.
"No idea but I know Haru can handle it." Said Hancock.
"Yeah." Laughed Luffy.
(End of Flashback)
Pro. Dumbledore approached Haru,.
"We need to talk about what happened." Said Pro. Dumbledore.
At the same time Moody started to approach Haru.
However one of the Auror warped their arm around Moody.
"Mad-Eye! Long time no see!" said the Auror.
Moody looked at him.
"I…" said Moody as if struggling to figure out something to say.
"Oh come on! Don't act like you don't me, after the hag incident?" asked the Auror.
"Oh yeah the Hag Incident." Said Moody.
"Come on let's reminisce about it." Said the Auror.
The Auror dragged him away, and Moody glared at Haru but realized he couldn't do anything at the moment and had to wait.
Unfortunately he didn't know the trouble he was in right now… as he didn't hear the whole story…
With Haru he was taken to Dumbledore's office where his parents and Sirius were also there and he explained what had happened.
Luffy and Hancock were shocked by the fact that Voldemort had gotten is hands on a Devil Fruit… but laughed upon finding out what kind it was.
"Oh man! That is way too funny!" laughed Luffy who began to cough from the laugh but managed to brush it aside.
Dumbledore nodded, having learned quite a bit about Devil Fruit in the years since and knew that Zoan would be a Devil Fruit that would not suit Voldemort.
But still it felt like he knew something that they didn't.
"So the Auror saw him?" asked Sirius.
"They did." Said Haru.
Dumbledore nodded .
That was when Fudge entered the office grumbling.
"Oh dear what happened?" asked Dumbledore.
"It turns out Moody was replaced by an imposter… Barty Crouch Jr." muttered Fudge.
"He's alive?" asked Sirius and face palmed, "Of course he is."
"His father was arrested for faking his death and covertly removing him from Azkaban." Muttered Fudge, "And they won't let me get answers from him."
"Can't you get answers from his father?" asked Luffy.
Fudge grumbled.
"I don't believe any of this! You know who hasn't returned." Said Fudge.
"Really why?" asked Haru.
"Because he's dead! There is no way that he can be alive." Said Fudge .
Pro. Dumbledore still seemed to be dining something.
"I can prove to you that he's alive." Said Haru.
"Really how?": asked Fudge.
"I can just bring him here." Said Haru.
"Really you can just bring him here?" asked Fudge.
"Yep!" said Haru.
"Prove it." Said Fudge.
Haru looked at Dumbledore who looked confused but wanted to see for himself.
"Considering the castle is swarmed by Aruors I think get some of them in here just in case." Said Pro. Dumbledore.
"Fine." Muttered Fudge.
A few Aruors were brought in, including couple that ended up in that Grave Yard.
Haru took a breath and "look" for Voldemort.
"Found him !" said Haru.
That was he opened up a portal high above the floor and Voldemort appeared from it.
"You know who is here…" whispered Fudge.
Voldemort got up and prepared his wand with a triumph grin.
He was about to shout a spell at Fudge but then a portal appeared under his feet and felt through just as fast as he came.
"Welp that just happened." Said a witch Auror who was at the Grave Yard.
"You can summon him whenever you want… and get rid of him…" said Fudge.
"Yeah I can." Said Haru with a shrug, "It's no big deal."
"I think it is a big deal!" said Fudge.
"Look I don't want to fight him now." Said Haru.
"Why not!" yelled Fudge.
"Why haven't we been able to kill him?" asked Haru.
That hit the Minster hard.
"Until we figure out why he hasn't been able to die I don't want to summon him for a final battle." Said Haru, "He'll just find a way to come back!"
"Haru is correct." Said Dumbledore, "I still haven't completely figured how he is able to come back…"
Everyone looked at him.
"You know something?" asked one of the Aruors.
"I have some ideas and ways to handle it… but I'm still not completely sure…" said Pro. Dumbledore.
Everyone could tell he was telling the truth… or least partially telling the truth…
However Fudge looked at Haru… as if seeing with new eyes.
Like he wasn't just an important boy… like he was something else.
He left … he couldn't deny that Voldemort had returned… but that didn't mean he didn't have a plan with dealing with him.
Well concepts of a plan…
Next Time: It's reveled how the Imposter Moody was arrest, also Haru and Cedric aren't sure how to handle the whole thing about the Cup. While everyone deals with Voldemort's return.
A/N: If you couldn't tell the next story is going to have a VERY different plot. I also don't know when I'll get to it...
