"Barty Crouch Jr." Ursa growls. "No wonder there was glee on your face while demonstrating the Cruciatus Curse directly in front of Longbottom." McGonagall looks at Ursa in confusion, not aware of her history. Barty moves to physically attack Harry and Dumbledore pushes him back into a chair before he can. McGonagall and Ursa both turn their wands on Barty. Barty rolls up his sleeve to show his Dark Mark.

"You know what this means don't you?" Barty says with a dark chuckle. "He's back. Lord Voldemort has returned." Barty turns his attention to Ursa. "Look's like Bella's 'Little Bear' is all grown up. Not so little anymore are we. Look at you pointing your wand at me instead of hiding behind Mama or Auntie like you used to. Surprised to see you on their side."

"Don't you dare speak of my mother or aunt you creep. You are supposed to be dead." Something occurs to Ursa. "You were the informant the Dark Lord spoke of. The one who told him about my eyes and glass shattering around me weren't you? That I was still powerful."

"I was. He was quite happy to find that out."

"Miss Malfoy what is he talking about?" McGonagall asks.

"What, they don't know?" Barty asks Ursa.

"Shut up." Ursa snaps. "You were the 'Crouch' Harry saw on his map in Severus's office. I should have known. You and I have unfinished business."

"We do?"

"You were the one that convinced my aunt to go that night. You took her from me. You broke a two year old."

"Oh boo hoo. She would have been arrested eventually. What oh what would your family say if they could see you now, protecting Potter. You're cowardly father-"

"You would do well not to speak ill of my family." Ursa says as her irises turn black.

"Your bitch of a mother." Ursa jabs her wand closer to his face and he laughs. Various glass bottle around them shatter. "What're you gonna do? Curse me?"

"Just trying to figure out which one will hurt the most and give you a chance to take back what you said."

Snape puts a hand on Ursa's shoulder. "Calm down Ursa." He says.

"Ah, 'Uncle Severus' to my rescue." Barty teases.

"Impulsi!" Ursa casts. Snape restrains her arms as she casts, so her spell just hits the ground between her and Barty.

"Let the dementors deal with him Ursa." Snape says as Ursa violently tries to fight him.

"Let go of me!" Ursa growls. "He called my mother a bitch. He's the reason Auntie left me! Let go!"

"Still a Mummy's girl I see." Barty teases. "And Auntie's."

"That's enough out of you!" Dumbledore snaps at Barty. "Severus take her to my office before she does something she'll regret."

"I won't regret cursing him to insanity!" Ursa yells as Snape drags her out. "Let go!"

"I forget she can be terrifying." Harry says while McGonagall looks at the closed door in shock.

Snape drags Ursa down the hall.  "If I let go of you, will you come peacefully?" Snape asks.

"Yes." Ursa replies.

"I'm serious Ursa. Do not try running back there."

"I won't." Snape releases Ursa and she storms in the direction of Dumbledore's office. Snape sighs and follows her. "Don't even fucking start Fawkes." Ursa says as she storms into Dumbledore's office, irises still black. "I'm not in the mood."
