Dinner was soon to be over, people were already leaving the Great Hall, I waited patiently for Marianna to stand.

I tapped my foot impatiently sighing heavily, I didn't want to be in here when he would finish eating.

Finally Marianna stood, I ran over to her "It's about time!" I grabbed her arm pulling her from the Great Hall.

"We really need to talk" I whispered as we stopped in an untraveled place in the dungeons. Barty, or whoever he was now walked around the corner.

"And what might you young ladies be doing?" he questioned glancing at Marianna then his eyes landing on me.

"Absolutely nothing sir..." I laughed nervously rocking back and forth on my heels.

He grunted then hobbled away from the dungeons, I took a deep breath.

"That was close..."

"What are you on about then... spit it out!" Marianna spat in her usual annoyed tone.

"Well you see... when I left during the quidditch match I went to go look for the death eaters..."

"You what!?" she screamed before I clamped my hand over her mouth.

"Shhh.... let me finish." I cleared my throat.

"Well... to cut this story short I was kidnapped..." I whispered leaning in closely hoping that no one would hear.

"Kidnapped?" Marianna smirked, "Highly unlikely, you see if they kidnapped you they would have brought you back in the first few minutes." she snickered.

I rolled my eyes, "Funny... ha ha ha..."

"Well get on with the story..." she demanded impatiently....

"I am...I am.... anyway I've been kept at this place called the Riddle House... that is where I have been since that day..." I let out a loud sigh.

"And this kidnapper, does he have a name?" she asked her tone thoroughly bored.

"His name is..." I looked around to see anyone, when there wasn't I continued "Barty Crouch Jr." I whispered so low the words barely came out.

Marianna nodded her head, "Yeah somehow I don't see this as such a big deal, you're alive aren't you?"

"I could have died though! He's a Death Eater.... and he is mean... very mean..." I added

"Well did you expect him to be sunshine and rainbows?" she shook her head trying to hold a laugh.

"Well no....but now he's dressed as that weird guy with the funny eye..."

"Oh you mean Mad-eye moody?" she asked

"Well I assume that is his name, I haven't been here ya know..." my eyes narrowed on her. she shrugged.

"I'm going to bed, I'm not getting caught out after hours, goodnight and have fun with your kidnapper...I'm sure this will be a very interesting year." she walked away leaving me there my mouth hanging open.

"What a wonderful sister you are...." I huffed walking towards Gryffindor tower.

The last thing I wanted was to see the idiots of my house acting stupid, what they did best.

"I wonder what time it is?" I asked aloud to no one, at least I thought it was no one.

"After hours, by I would say five minutes." the growl of professor Moody, no Barty, well whoever the hell it was.

I sighed slowly turning to face him, "And it has to be you to catch me out? I'd take Filch over you..." I groaned staring at the funny eye.

 "To bad then, come with me" he grabbed my arm tightly, yeah it was definitely Barty I could tell by his grip.

"I can walk on my own ya know..." my complaining becoming more and more often.

He looked back at me before turning down a corridor and walking into an empty room, "Oh yay alone with you again..." my sarcasm eating away at his last nerve.

His face and hands, no his entire body seemed to be morphing and changing until once again the face I knew and hated so much was before me.

"So what am I supposed to call you here? Barty? Moody? Master? Mad-eye? Impostor? there are more but I will stop to let you choose."

"Master?" he arched his eyebrow looking at me.

"That one was a joke, there is no way in hell I will EVER call you that."

He smirked "Actually, while we are here you will call me professor Moody, is that understood?"

"Yes sir!" I saluted him mockingly. 

"Enough.... now tell me what did you tell your sister?" his eyes seemed to flicker slightly with anger.

"Nothing really.... just had a casual chat about me being kidnapped...but don't  worry she thought it was funny... so you're in the clear there." I explained slightly angry.

He grinned, the anger seeming to subside "Well not what I expected, but that saves you from trouble. You are to tell no one else if you do you will regret it. As I said before torture isn't fun."

"Yeah yeah yeah.... whatever you say oh mighty one..." I rolled my eyes, tired of talking and just wanting to sleep.

"I'll walk you to Gryffindor tower so you don't get detention." He took a drink from a flask his body morphing back into the man with the weird eye.

"Yeah whatever...."

He hobbled out of the room, surprisingly quick for someone in his condition, I suppressed a laugh. "Well get a  move on!" he grumbled

"Coming..." I made my way out of the room following him up the shifting stairs.

"Here you are, now I expect you to stay here and not get yourself in any trouble, do you understand?"

"What are you? My father?" I spoke sarcastically giving the portrait the password.

He turned to walk away, "One more thing, every night after dinner I want you to come to my room, understood?"

"Aye aye, I'll bring Marianna."

He hobbled away back down the stairs, I turned to walk into the Gryffindor common room ignoring the mindless chatter and hello's from my fellow Gryffindors.

"Ugh... I forgot to get my class schedule." I groaned aloud

"Don't worry I got it for you!" Ron jumped up excitedly running in my direction with a piece of crumpled and stained parchment.

He handed me the parchment, I pinched it between two fingers holding it as far as I could from my face, "Thanks..." I rolled my eyes.

The steps to the girls dorm never seemed so long as they did now, "Great tomorrow first class is Defense Against the Dark Arts with sir crazy...." I grumbled tossing the paper on the bedside table.

"Sir crazy, talking about Moody then?" a girl I shared my dorm with asked.

"Is there another crazy man I should know about that teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts?" I snapped glaring in her general direction, she didn't reply back.

I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling, pulling the blanket over me I sighed imagining the horrors that my class was going to hold.

"Oh well... nothing I can do about it...."

My head fell onto the pillow my mind still racing, I fell into an uneasy sleep.
