The Fatal Enchantment

The Murder of Crouch Senior

    We were walking down the path of the shore side of the Black Lake. Barty and I were talking about the upcoming third task, and my N.E.W.T.s when we heard the Weasleys.
Filthy blood traitors muttered Barty as I sneaked and slapped his hand.
"There you go. Call that moral fibre, eh?" said Fred.
"Moral fiber? Blimey, even when you go wrong, it turns out right." chuckled Ronald.
"Of course it would go right Ronald." Hermione sassed. "He had to rescue Mia, his sister. Imagine you as champion and Ginny as your treasure."
"Well done, 'moral fibre.'" said George as they smacked Harry's shoulders walking away. I saw Percy with Barty Crouch senior as they advanced to Harry.
"Congratulations, Potter. Fine achievement. Well done, boy." said Crouch.
"See you at Hagrid's, Harry." said Ron and Hermione.
"I'm sorry we haven't spoken. After all, your story is one I've heard so many times. And quite remarkable, isn't it?" said Crouch. "Tragic of course, to lose one's family; never whole again, are we? Still, life goes on, and here we stand. I'm sure your parents would be very proud of you today, Potter. So would your highly intelligent sister." Right then Barty lost his patience and was about to lunge at him, as I held him back. I put his hands on his skull cane stick for the sake of looking like Moody.
"Bartemius! Not trying to lure Potter into one of the Ministry's summer internships, are we?" said Barty. "The last boy who went into the Department of Mysteries never came out!" He'd gone to the Department of Mysteries as an intern and got arrested for the torture of the aurors Frank and Alice Longbottom. His cousins... may be, that's why his father had called him no son of his own. Just then Barty did a mistake. He began flicking his tongue out like a snake, every five seconds, which caught Crouch's attention. Of course he would recognize his son. I glared him, telling him to stop. Crouch in the meanwhile, shook his head as if in denial and went another way ignoring Harry."And they say I'm mad." Barty barked further. I waved at Harry as he waved back and went to Hagrid's hut.
"Come along" barked Barty. I looked here and there and saw there were still some people.
"Can you apparated." I said.
"No, no one apart from the Headmaster can apparated in and out of Hogwarts." He said.
"I asked as a deatheater, can you apparated, you dimwitted numb chuck" I growled.
"No" he grunted. Well then, here it goes.
"Give me the cane" I said. I pointed my wand at the cane. "Portus" I said transforming it into a portkey. We caught onto the portkey and travelled to the forest. There we awaited for Barty......
"Now what?" he asked, as I looked at him, getting up from the ground.
"Now, we wait for your father to come."
Suddenly I saw something. And then I fainted............

Barty's P.O.V.:-

THUD...................What happened?
"Foxy?" I said. No reply whatsoever. That never happens. Foxy always replies to me... I turned to see foxy on the forest ground. Merlin! What has happened. May be she is out of energy due to the task. I ran to her body, and bent down slapping her cheeks.
"Foxy.....Lexi" I said trying to wake her up. I could feel my Polyjuice potion wearing off. Some more were in the office of mine in the castle. What to do now? What to do... I cannot take her like this to SEveus. He'll barge me with snarky questions. He sees her as his own child. What to do...what to do... aha! Yes, what do those filthy muggles do... oh yes CPR... I began to thump her chest...

Lexi's P.O.V.:-

I looked around to see everywhere was green. Bright, lush green grass in a meadow. The trees had ripe fruits, red apples, ripe mangoes, ripe pomegranates. There were even trees of olives, cheeries and all types of berries... there were flowers of different types... and then there was a manor... more like something between a castle and a mansion, and beside that was a mansion though smaller like a outhouse. Wow... beside the manor was a huge blue lake, where ducks, drakes, ganders and geese were swimming with their kids. There was a greenhouse nearby, and I could see the creepers and the vines through the clear glass window... there was a pool in the front, with a slide, and it portrayed a dragon with amethyst gems studded on it.
Then came out a woman. The woman was about five feet six inches tall, had black straight hair, and sea green doe shaped eyes, oval face with aristocratic features, and fair skin with olive undertones to it. She was buxom yet curvaceous, in a gist, she was gorgeous looking. Her smile was the best smile in the world. She was adorned in . She looked familiar to me. Strange.......
"Listen to me carefully my child." She began
"Who are you?" I asked her.
"Time shall reveal all the truth to you. For now, Barty Crouch is about to kill his father. To bring him back to the side of true honor, to the side of light, you have to gain his trust. And for that, you must allow him to kill his father." She said.
"But killing is bad" I protested.
"Not the man who never accepting you as a son. Barty Crouch Senior was a very ambitious man. He only did what he wanted. He wanted to become the Minister of Magic, he used his son for that. He used his wife Calypso Yaxley, to entertain thousands of people, some of whom ended up abusing her looks. One of them was Cornelius Fudge himself. Now listen to me carefully. This man may look good, but he is not. Trust me on this. Allow Barty to kill his father." She said.
"Why is everything hazy?" I said.
"Because it's time." She replied. She became hazy and then I fell into some dark zone.

"Lexi,...." Hmmmph hpm hmmph, someone breathed into my lips, someone was pounding my breasts. "Wake up foxy....please wake up!" I felt my lids opening as I gasped open. My head jerked towards him as I looked at him. He was worried about me... now what? Barty Crouch Senior began to tell how he's going to tell the Minister that his son is a threat to the world.
"Who'se going to believe you, huh, old man!" spat Barty. "Fudge is a stupid idiot who is scared to lose his position as minister, and you have no position, because if you tell that I'm a threat, I will reveal the secret of yours of how you slipped me out of Askaban. But I cannot take you threat anymore. So...goodbye father...." With that Barty pointed the wand and said the spell. "Avada Kedavra" he said and a bright green light escaped from the tip of the wand, hitting Crouch at his heart, and within seconds Crouch was dead.
"Come on idiot, before someone finds us." I snapped knocking him back to his senses. We took the cane and transported to his office. Opening a crate, I uncorked the big vial and poured the potion in his hip flask and he drank it.
"Alastor and Miss Potter, a dead body has been found, please report to Dumbledore's office." said McGonagall. We went to the office saying the password, and then we were discussing of Voldemort's rise of power. The typical signs, the vanishing rates and mortality rates on the rise...
"A man has died here, Fudge, and he won't be the last. You must take action." Dumbledore said.
"I will not." Fudge spat. "In times like these the wizard world looks to its leaders for strength, Dumbledore."
"Then for once, show them some." Dumbledore argued.
"The Triwizard Tournament will not be cancelled. I will not be seen as a coward." Fudge said.
"A true leader does what is right, no matter what others think." Dumbledore said.
"What did you say? What did you say to me?" said Fudge. I took Severus's hand and put up the sleeve showing how darker the dark mark was getting.
"Minister the rate of people vanishing off, the mortality rate is rising. Professor Snape's dark mark is getting darker and darker. These are the signs that he's on the rise again. Only a fool would be the one to deny it." I said.
"What are you implying girl...that I'm a fool!" Fudge said.
"I never said that, you said that. I was merely stating facts. I never called you a fool Minister. You're no fool or you wouldn't be in this post now. But you can't deny facts that are lying right in front of your eyes." I replied.
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. It may interest you to know this conversation is no longer private." With that Barty flicked the wand opening the door revealing Harry who was about to knock. Immediately, Fudge's mood changed, like he was bipolar or something.
"Well, Harry! Harry, how good to see you again." Fudge said. I rolled my eyes.
"I can come back later, Professor." Harry said.
"Oh, not necessary, Harry. The minister and I are done. I'll be back in a moment. Minister, after you. There you are, ha, ha. Oh, Harry, do feel free to indulge in a little licorice snap in my absence, but I have to warn you, they're a wee bit sharp. Now Miss Potter you may go and prepare for your finals." Dumbledore replied. I curted a nod and went my way to the Gryffindor common rooms.
