Circus Magic

Act 17

Harlow Pov

I hear noises coming from outside of the room. I turn just enough to see the door as it opens to reveal a very handsome man with brown hair and blood red eyes. He is arguing with a man who has long blonde hair about seats. I assume they are talking about the lordship seats.

The brown haired man stops for a moment before turning towards us. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" I can tell that he hasn't seen us yet but he can detect our magic. I move a little bit more so he can see my face and his face sofens to a similar expression that I have gotten from several others at this point including Cedric. "Lucius, you are dismissed." The blonde man bows slightly and rushes out the door leaving us alone with the red eyed man.

He walks over and sits in front of us at the desk. "So why don't you two answer my question."

"We were at Hogwarts competing in the Triwizard tournament. The last task was a maze where at the end there was a trophy. When we grabbed the trophy it brought us here." I say and then point at the trophy on the ground. "As for who we are I am Harlow Stuart and this is Cedric Diggory."

"Do you have any ideas for how you ended up here?"

"I think that perhaps someone messed with the trophy making it a portkey or something." I look down at the snakes in my clothing before asking Yumi. "Yumi do you have any ideas for what happened."

"I would guess that it is that meddling head master that placed all of those blocks on you in the past." I can't help but nod in agreement. When I look up I see that the man is looking at me strangely. "What?"

"Sorry, I thought that I was the only one that could speak to snakes."

"You can speak to snakes?" I say but before he can answer my question Cedric speaks.

"But that would mean that you are voldmort?! I thought you died thirteen years ago."

"I am infact known as Voldemort but most of my friends call me Tom. As for my death, I did briefly lose my body due to a interaction with Dumbledore but through some rituals I gained a new one." We both nod.

"My guess is that it wasn't Dumbledore at all but someone who wanted us to meet."

"Perhaps, I will ask around to see what I can find but you two should head back to school before someone starts to suspect something. I will get in touch."

"Alright." I grab Cedric's hand and then the trophy and soon we are off again.
