Harriet Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Chapter 20

Finally Harriet was back and crying. There had been a screen for the task. She could barely move from tiredness and pain. Tired from the task and pain from the duel and torture curse twice.

"Harriet!" She looked up and saw Ron, Hermione, Neville, Snuffles and Remus run to her.

When they got to her she held onto Neville and cried. Snuffles whimpered and started licking her gently. Remus rubbed her shoulder gently.

Neville held her close, rubbed her back and told her to 'calm down' and 'it's going to be alright' quietly. Then he gave her a kiss on her head.

She started to calm down but didn't let go of him and neither did Snuffles or Remus.

"He's back! He's back, Voldemort's back! Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn't leave him. Not there!" she said while Dumbledore sat behind her.

"It's alright Harriet, you're home, you both are." he said back.

"Keep everybody in their seats! A boys just been killed." Fudge said.

"Let me through, let me through! That's my son! That's my boy. My BOY!" Amus said crying.

Suddenly Moody started to get Harriet off of her friends and family. "Easy, easy, this is not where you want to be right now."

"Alastor-" Remus started.

"No Remus, he's right. We'll be back in a few minutes." Dumbledore said.

Out of habit she obeyed Dumbledore and headed to Moody's office.

When they got to his office he shut the door.

"You alright Potter? Does it hurt, that?" he asked pointing his hand on her arm.

"Not so much now."

"Perhaps I better take a look at it?" So he looked at her arm and put a finger on it.

"The Cup was a portkey." she said.

"What he like?" he asked.

"Who? Ah!"

"The Dark Lord. What was it like, to stand in his presents?" Suddenly he started to change form.

"I don't know, it was like one of my nightmares."

Moody looked around for some potions. "Were there others? In the graveyard were there others?"

"I don't, think I ever said anything about a graveyard."

"Marvelous creatures dragons aren't they? Big Cedric Diggory. And Neville Longbottom a witness wonder. Couldn't have given you gillyweed if I'd given him that book!"

"It was you from the beginning. You put my name in the goblet of fire! You bewitched Krum! But, but-"

"But, but, but. You won because I made it so Potter. But now the deed is done. Imagine what he will reward me, when I silence the great, Harriet Potter."

"Expelliarmus!"

Then the door burst open and Dumbledore, Snape and a few other people appeared.

"Severus!"

He opened the bottle of Veritaserum and poured it into Moody's mouth.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Albus Dumbledore."

"Are you Alastor Moody? Are you?!"

"No."

"Is he in this room? Is he in this room?!"

He turned his head and pointed at the metal container.

"Harriet away from there!"

McGonagall pushed her away from it then Snape used his wand and unlocked it. Then they walked over to it.

"You alright Alastor?"

"I'm sorry Albus." Moody said his hand over his eye.

"We'll get you out in a minute."

"That's Moody, but then that's who?"

Snape opened the bottle and sniffed it. "Polyjuice potion."

"Now we know who's been stealing from your stores Severus." Suddenly they heard something and turned around.

"Ah!" It was Crouch jr.

Then he started to jump and grab Harriet.

"Harriet!" Dumbledore said.

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours." He took out his arm.

"Your arm Harriet." Dumbledore said and took it out.

"Ah!" she said and winced.

"You know what it means don't you? The Dark Lord has returned."

"Send an owl to Azkaban, tell them we found one of their missing people."

"I'll be Welcome back like a hero!"

"Perhaps but we don't have time for that now."
