Harry Potter - A Jonathan Crouch Story

Chapter 2 - Dumbledore's Army

A year passed since the night of Jonathan's first night out as a death eater and he has continued to kill and torture in the name of his master but still spend time keeping an eye on the orphanage and the child he left behind. He's glad he gave him up to the orphanage, the carers there have been taking such good care of him and Jonathan is glad.

Today however was going to be a new challenge however, he was asked to participate in the capture of the prophecy and aim to kill Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Jonathan was always hearing about the boy and seemed to get bored rather quickly.

Jonathan practiced his curses in the backyard when many more death eaters arrived on the premises however, Jonathan had not seen these people before which did surprise him a bit. Voldemort, Vanessa and Lucius all came out to greet their new guests.

Amongst the new arrivals were Rebastian Lestrange, Rudolphis, Dolohov, Scabier and Bellatrix Lestrange. Jonathan took most interest with Bellatrix, he hair shaggy and ruffled, it was jet black with a misty grey colour beneath it all, her teeth were crooked and rotten, her eyes were sunken into her sockets and her clothes were torn and shredded as if she's been clawing at the fabric with her overly long sharp nails that could cut throats.

Vanessa immediately ran up to Bellatrix, embracing her as if they were family "Jonathan dear, say hi to aunt Bellatrix, my sister" she told him as his eyes widened, his mother was a lestrange, how could he not know?

Jonathan slowly strolled over to them as Bellatrix embraced the young boy, the hug felt awkward to Jonathan, she smelled of something putrid and held him so tight, her animal like nails dug into his flesh which caused a large amount of blood to flow out of the surprisingly small wound as she cackled at Jonathan pulling away from her due to the immense pain.

Voldemort then announced for them to prepare themselves as they were about to take the prophecy from the ministry tonight, Jonathan rushed to his room to gather his gear. His robes that trailed down to his ankles, his wand and holster to place it in along with his mask that he used to cover his face.

And with that Jonathan and the rest of the death eaters apperated to the ministry finding themselves inside the hall of prophecies but none were the one they searched for, that's when they heard talking a proceeded to split up.

It was Harry Potter along with some of Dumbledore's army, they had the prophecy and that's when he heard Bellatrix scream out in pure anger "YOU FILTHY HALF BLOOD!" Lucius did his best to calm everyone down and attempted to use his charisma to ensure he'll get the prophecy.

His plan proceeds to backfire as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Neville all used the stupify spell on them, sending some of the death eaters flying back however Lucius, Bellatrix and Jonathan apperated out of the way whilst all of the other death eaters chased on, shattering all the shelf containing the prophecies.

Jonathan, Lucius and Bellatrix thought to themselves of where they could be going heading to "The Veil" Jonathan quickly told them, apperating to the Veil leaving Lucius and Bellatrix confused, however still apperated after him.

Moments passed as the death eaters waited in the room of the Veil just as Jonathan predicted Harry Potter and his friends well into the room and began talking about the Veil. On Lucius' order, all death eaters flew down and surrounded them, capturing his friends and holding them tightly, Bellatrix held Neville tightly, jabbing her wand into his throat as Jonathan held onto the whimpering Luna, clenching the hilt of his wand tightly against her temple.

Lucius interrogated Harry, trying to convince him to hand over the prophecy which Harry eventually gives up, handing over the prophecy, at the moment Sirius Black apperates behind Lucius and taps him on the shoulder making Lucius turn around to face him "get away from my godson" he told him with a clenched fist which proceeded to collide with Lucius' jaw, knocking him to the ground. That's when many more auroras apperated into the room, causing the death eaters to apperate away from the kids and readying themselves for combat.

Jonathan faced Remus Luton, remembering how much of a valiant spell user he is in the wizarding world and knew he had to do everything he could to even combat him. "You look awfully young for a death eater" Remus spoke gently, staring down at the young boy "and you talk an awful lot for a man who's on death row" Jonathan spat back with a venomous tone as they clashed their spells, sending sparks of white, red and green flashes flying all across the room as his fellow death eaters fought all other auroras in the room.

Jonathan managed to push Lupin back enough so that a fellow death eater could take over and take care of Lupin. At the moment, the white haired girl Luna rushed up, taking a stance in front of the young death eater which surprised him to his very core "another participant ready to die?" He asked her which she tilted her head slightly as she held her wand in front of her "I'm ready to duel you yes" she replied which he actually chuckled at and that's when she took her chance and shot an expelliarmus spell towards him, causing him to lose his wand "damn" he growled to himself as Luna shot a stupify spell, making him fly back to concrete wall where he managed to grab his wand and shoot a killing curse towards her where she shot back an expelliarmus spell back, clashing with him and creating a roar from the clash.

Jonathan found it easy to hold her off in the clash, however she seemed to be unaffected either and as he pushed back, he found himself struggling a lot more than what he could think was possible and this angered him to his very core. Jonathan's curse ended up on his side in a very short amount of time and had managed to propel him back once more, causing him to lose his wand and slam his head agaisnt the granite stone wall. She walked over to him with his wand in her hand, easily capable of killing him there and then "C'mon, what are you waiting for?" He asked as she simply tossed his wand back towards him "I'll never stoop down to your levels, I am however giving you the chance to make a choice in your pretty little mind" she told him as in that moment the shrill shriek of his aunt echoed through the room before a bright green flash was seen "Avarda Kedavra!" She had used the killing curse on none other than Sirius Black.

A blanket of silence fell throughout the room as Jonathan was left aghast of what his own aunt did with no remorse at all, leaving a screaming Harry in the arms of Remus Lupin with nothing left in this world. Jonathan was stood to his feet as Harry pushed Lupin away as he chased after the very person who took the last good thing he had in the world. Jonathan was then surrounded by Hermione, Ron and Luna as Jonathan, still clutching his wand relaxed his muscles and inhaled sharply "I've been following the wrong people.." he sighed to himself as Luna took a step towards him which he backed up slightly as she gently cupped his cold, shivering cheek, noticing how rough it felt agaisnt her soft, silky palm.

Hermione and Ron exchanged looks of confused faces which was soon interrupted by a massive shockwave which brought them out of their trance and caused Jonathan to flee to where the shockwaves came from which led him to the one and only Albus Dumbledore clashing with Lord Voldemort, Jonathan was prevented from coming any closer due to the true power of the clash, it was so intense and so powerful, Jonathan hasn't seen anything like it ever before.

Minutes passed with the duel and he soon saw Voldemort disappear completely, thinking it was all over everyone in the room took a breather but unfortunately, it was far from over as Harry, the boy who lived was now on the ground, thriving and convulsing with pale green eyes "ugh! God please kill me!" Harry screamed out in agony as Jonathan stared down at the young boy, confused on what was happening but then it clicked, Voldemort was in his mind as all of his friends, came to Jonathan's side, helpless and scared for their friend who was now suffering the way he told them and they didn't believe him.

"Your the weak one" they all heard him mumble as he clenched his fists tightly "and you never know love...or friendship...and I feel sorry for you..." Jonathan and everyone else stared down at him in amazingment as he managed to expel Voldemort from his body and soon Voldemort came back into sight just as the ministry appeared in the room, seeing Voldemort for themselves just as he apperated away before shooting one last glare towards Jonathan Crouch.

Dumbledore noticed the young boy, his future now nothing but a blur in his mind and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder "what's your name dear boy?" He spoke in a calm tone that felt comforting to Jonathan "I.. I um..." he stuttered out as Dumbledore nodded gently "we'll talk in my office when we get back to school"
