Jinx Not-So-Malfoy and the Triwizard Tournament

Chapter 26

Some shit is going to go down in this chapter.

I think. 

I decided to put a picture of David Tennant over there because he's sexy.

And once again, if you guys want a contest where YOU get to write Jinx and make her do whatever the hell you want her to, then you guys have to let me know. Personally, I think it would be really cool to see you guys take Jinx's story and make it your own. 

So apparently after Harry left Divination he went to Dumbledore's office, fell into Dumbledore's pensive, and witnessed Barty Crouch Jr.'s trial. 

Who is played by the very sexy David Tennant in the movies. 

What?

Now Harry was telling us all about it. 

"Dumbledore reckons You-Know-Who's getting stronger again as well?" Ron whispered. 

Harry, Ron, Hermione and I sat up late in the common room once again that night, talking it all over. 

Ron stared into the common room fire. I thought I saw Ron shiver slightly, even though the evening was warm. 

"And he trusts Snape?" Ron said. "He really trusts Snape, even though he knows he was a Death Eater?" 

"Yes," said Harry. 

Hermione had not spoken for ten minutes. She was sitting with her forehead in her hands, staring at her knees. I thought she too looked as though she could have done with a Pensieve. 

"Rita Skeeter," she muttered finally. 

"How can you be worrying about her now?" said Ron, in utter disbelief. 

"I'm not worrying about her," Hermione said to her knees. "I'm just thinking... remember what she said to me in the Three Broomsticks? 'I know things about Ludo Bagman that would make your hair curl. ' This is what she meant, isn't it? She reported his trial, she knew he'd passed information to the Death Eaters. And Winky too, remember... 'Ludo Bagman's a bad wizard.' Mr. Crouch would have been furious he got off, he would have talked about it at home." 

"Yeah, but Bagman didn't pass information on purpose, did he?" 

Hermione shrugged. 

"And Fudge reckons Madame Maxime attacked Crouch?" Ron said, turning back to Harry. 

"Yeah," said Harry, "but he's only saying that because Crouch disappeared near the Beauxbatons carriage." 

"We never thought of her, did we?" said Ron slowly. "Mind you, she's definitely got giant blood, and she doesn't want to admit it-" 

"Of course she doesn't," said Hermione sharply, looking up. "Look what happened to Hagrid when Rita found out about his mother. Look at Fudge, jumping to conclusions about her, just because she's part giant. Who needs that sort of prejudice? I'd probably say I had big bones if I knew that's what I'd get for telling the truth." 

Hermione looked at her watch. "We haven't done any practicing!" she said, looking shocked. "We were going to do the Impediment Curse! We'll have to really get down to it tomorrow! Come on. Harry, you need to get some sleep." 

We went up to our dormitory and fell asleep in minutes. 

Fun fact: The average human being takes seven minutes to fall asleep.

I dreamed i was walking with Harry, wandering around an seemingly endless maze. He couldn't see me, however. He strode down a long corridor and came face to face with a sphinx. I realized that what I was seeing was from the third task.
