Chapter Eighteen

Harry’s P.O.V
Shortly after Professor Moody had managed to knock Aries out, Professor Dumbledore had gotten the door off its hinges and both Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape had followed him inside as they went straight to Professor Moody as I stayed with Aries and managed to have her sitting against the wall for now before they started to question Professor Moody after they had given him something, “do you know who I am?” Dumbledore asked him, “Albus Dumbledore.” Professor Moody answered, “Are you Alastor Moody? Are you?” Dumbledore asked and Professor Moody had told him that he wasn’t, “is he in this room? Is he in this room?” Dumbledore asked him before they all came to the chest that was in the room, “Harry away from there. Severus, get Aries away from there.” Professor Dumbledore said and I got out of the way and Professor Snape managed to move Aries to a different spot before they had managed to open the chest only to see the real Professor Moody in it, “you alright Alastor?” Professor Dumbledore said to him, “I’m sorry, Albus” Professor Moody said, “if that’s Moody but then who’s- Aries said she had a bad feeling about him.” I said to them, “Polyjuice Potion.” Snape mentioned, “now we know who’s been stealing from your stores, Severus.” Dumbledore told him before he looked at me, “don’t say she didn’t tell you so.” I said for him to hear, “we’ll get you up in a minute.” Dumbledore said before we all looked over to the man sitting in the chair as we watched him change back into himself and I looked to see who it was before he tried getting to me before I was pulled back only to see that It was Barty Crouch Jr, the man from my dreams, “Barty Crouch Jr.” I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” he said, showing a mark on the inside of his forearm, “your arm Harry.” Dumbledore said as he revealed the cut on my arm, “you know what this means, don’t you? He’s back. Lord Voldemort had returned.” Barty said, “I’m sorry sir, I couldn’t help it.” I said to Dumbledore, “send an owl to Azkaban. I think they’ll find they’re missing a prisoner. And Minerva, take Aries with you if you will to the Hospital Wing before you do.” Dumbledore said, “I’ll be welcomed back like a hero.” Barty said, “perhaps. Personally, I never had much time for heroes.” Dumbledore said and we left the room and we had ended up in the Hospital Wing.

After making it to the Hospital Wing, I was being checked on by Madam omfrey before we heard someone come rushing over and saw that it was George, “is she alright?” he asked with worry, “she’ll be alright Mr. Weasley. She just has a bump on her head, but other than that she should wake up soon.” Madam Pomfrey told him as he sat down next to her bed just as Madam Pomfrey was finishing up with me and walked away, “she knew about Professor Moody last minute earlier when she came to check on me. I don’t know how but she did.” I mentioned to George, “she has a good eye and she was raised by the previous Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher so what would you expect?” George said and I knew he had a point, “yeah I guess you’re right about that. I guess you could say she had some extra lessons with him over the summer as well.” I said to him and we both chuckled a bit, “Fred told me that the two of you are together” I mentioned to him and he nodded, “yeah, we are. We haven’t been together long though. We just started dating.” he said and I smiled a little, “I can tell you care about her.” I said to him and he looked at me, “I do. A lot actually.” he said, “good because she’s starting to feel like a sister to me” I told him and he nodded before she started waking up. 

Aries’s P.O.V
After a while, I managed to start waking up only to see that I was in the Hospital Wing as I looked around before seeing George beside me and I smiled a little and so did he, “are you alright? How are you feeling?” he asked me and I slowly sat up, “I’m fine, I’ll be ok. My head just hurts, that's all.” I told him and he hugged me and I hugged him back before I noticed Harry and we moved away from the hug, “how are you doing?” I asked him and he shrugged, “I’ll be alright. Thanks for being there when we were in Moody’s office earlier.” he said and I nodded, “by the way, what happened after he knocked me out?” I asked him, “Well, one of them was using Polyjuice Potion to be Professor Moody as he turned out to be Barty Crouch Jr while he had the real one trapped in a chest the entire time.” Harry said, “Bloody hell, I guess Professor Snape found out the truth about his stores now.” I mentioned and we chuckled a little, "are you sure you’re alright Harry?” I asked again and he nodded before Madam Ponfrey came over to us, “I’m glad to see you awake and alright dear and when you are ready to go, you are able to leave and the same goes for you Potter. So for now just take it easy alright.” she told us and we both nodded, “Thank you Madam Pomfrey.” I said to her and she smiled before she walked away and the three of us had gone back to the Common Room for the night and both George and I sat by the window and talked for a while, “how are you feeling love?” George asked, “I’m feeling better now actually, I had a small headache but it’s gone now.” I told him before thinking about everything that had happened earlier tonight, “what’s on your mind?” he asked me and I sighed, “I know Cedric’s death wasn’t an accident. I believe Harry when he said that You-Know-Who is back and I’m scared.” I told him as the fear grew, “everything is going to be alright love, ok. If he really is back, we’ll fight until he’s gone for good.” he said as he held me close and hugged me, “I hope so.” I whispered before we continued to talk for a while before I started to feel tired as I let out a yawn, “are you getting tired love?” he asked me and I nodded, “yeah, I am.” I told him, “alright, lets go to bed then, you could use the sleep right now.” he said and we both got up from our seats and walked over to the stairs that led to the dorms, “I’ll see you in the morning love. Goodnight and I love you.” He said to me and I smiled a little, “goodnight and I love you too.” I said before I eventually walked into my dorm and eventually fell asleep that night.
