"What the bloody fuck happened to you?" Pansy scoffed.

"What?" Draco asked.

"You look like you've been torched, Mate," Blaise laughed.

"Straight to Madam Pomfrey," Pansy declared, "I'm surprised Snape didn't put anything on that."

"They made a whole thing about using no magic the entire time we were away," Draco huffed as Pansy practically forced him out the portrait hole, "bloody ridiculous."

"It was fun though?" Blaise asked.

"Yeah, it was fun," Draco nodded.

"Glad too hear it," Blaise smiled, clapping him on the back.

"BlOODY!" Draco yelped biting down on his lip, "Zabini! What was that for."

"Making me sleep on the couch," Blaise laughed loudly.

"Did you hear about Moody?" Pansy lowered her voice.

"No?" Draco asked, "what about him?"

"He wasn't actually Moody." She said, "he was Barty Crouch Jr. a Death Eater. The real Moody has been locked in a box this entire time."

"What?" Draco frowned.

"They sent a whole lot of Aurors in here during the break to investigate." She said, "I suppose that's why Snape took you and Harry out of the country."

"So where's Moody now?" Draco asked, "and who's teaching class?"

"Moody is at St. Mungo's," Pansy said, "Barty Crouch Jr is in Azkaban and we have a substitute, I don't know who it is—apparently they start next week."

"Shit." Draco said.

"Barty Crouch is dead." Pansy said, "died here on the grounds, Krum found him."

"Krum found him?"

"Yeah, Crouch attacked him." Pansy said grimly.

"What the hell has been happening here since I went away?" Draco astonished.

"Surprisingly a lot." Pansy hummed. 

"Good to know."

"Harry!"

Ginny lunged at him, tackling with a hug.

"Hey, Ginny," Harry laughed. "How are you?"

"Oh I'm so glad you're back!" Ginny laughed, letting him up, "it's been so dull around here—after the Crouch incident of course."

"Crouch incident?" Harry frowned.

"You haven't heard?" Ginny gasped, "Barty Crouch Jr. was Moody—Moody was in a box and Barty Crouch is dead."

"What?" Harry laughed.

"Barty Crouch Jr was a death eater," Ginny explained, "he's supposed to be in Azkaban—hell he's supposed to be dead, but he's been taking Polyjuice to look like Mad-Eye Moody."

"So where's the real Moody?" Harry asked.

"He's been in a box in his office this whole time," Ginny explained, "he's at St. Mungo's right now."

"And Crouch?" Harry asked, "the older one?"

"He attacked Viktor Krum a week or so ago," Ginny said, "and was found dead by the forest."

"So his son was a Death Eater?"

Ginny nodded.

"And now he's dead?"
