What If?

Chapter 6

"Holy shit!" Said Susan. "Language Susan." Chided Amelia. "Is it true Mr Crouch?" "Yes. I loved my Lizzie, Amelia. She loved her son way to much. Which is why I had to do it for her." Said Mr Crouch as he broke onto tears. Sirius and Mr Weasley consoled Mr Crouch while Ron looked through the memories of Barty Jr. "Fuck." Yelled Ron. "Language Ronald." Said Mr Weasley. "Sorry Dad. But according to Barty Jr, Tom is alive. And he has a dangerous plan which is to be enacted this year." "Who's Tom?" Asked Mr Weasley, confused. "Tom Marvolo Riddle. You all know him as Lord Voldemort." Said Ron. The gasps which came were involuntary.  "Ron you got the details?" Asked Hermione. "Yes I did Snow." Said Ron. "Good. Mind Wipe. When he gets stunned." Said Harry. "Aztec. What about the plan?" Asked Ron. "Hound we have to let it happen." Said Hermione. "It needs to happen. We still haven't found all the remaining Cruxes." Said Susan. "Okay." Said Ron. "So now what do we do?" Asked Mr Crouch. "Now nothing. This memory will be hidden from everyone in your head. Then we go back home." Said Harry. Just then the people who had fainted woke up. "So are we done here Mr Crouch?" Asked Harry. "Yes Mr Potter. I would like to meet with you, Scions Weasley, Heir Longbottom, Heiress' Greengrass, Bones, Dagworth Granger, Lovegood and Lords Black and Weasley before you go to school." Said Mr Crouch. "No Problem Sir. Let us know when and we can meet. Mr Weasley, shall we?" Asked Harry. Nodding Arthur led the way. "What happened to the others?" Asked Mr Weasley, once they were out of the earshot of the rest of the Ministry Employees. "They were the ones who stunned and revived the people. They must've reached the tent already." Said Ron. "I need to know everything." Said Mr Weasley. "We'll explain in the tent, Mr Weasley." Said Harry.
But when they reached the edge of the wood, their progress was impeded. A large crowd of frightened-looking witches and wizards was congregated there, and when they saw Mr. Weasley coming toward them, many of them surged forward.
“What’s going on in there?”
“Who conjured it?”
“Arthur — it’s not — Him?”
“Of course it’s not Him,” said Mr. Weasley impatiently. “We don’t know who it was; it looks like they Disapparated. Now excuse
me, please, I want to get to bed.”
He led Harry, Ron, and Hermione through the crowd and back into the campsite. All was quiet now; there was no sign of the
masked wizards, though several ruined tents were still smoking. Charlie’s head was poking out of the boys’ tent.
“Dad, what’s going on?” he called through the dark. “Fred, George, and Ginny got back okay, but the others —” “I’ve got them here,” said Mr. Weasley, bending down and en-
tering the tent. Harry, Ron, and Hermione entered after him. Bill was sitting at the small kitchen table, holding a bedsheet to
his arm, which was bleeding profusely. Charlie had a large rip in his shirt, and Percy was sporting a bloody nose. Fred, George, and Ginny looked unhurt, though shaken. “Did you get them, Dad?” said Bill sharply. “The person who conjured the Mark?” “No,” said Mr. Weasley. “We found Barty Crouch’s elf holding Harry’s wand, but we’re none the wiser about who actually conjured the Mark.”
“What?” said Bill, Charlie, and Percy together.
“Harry’s wand?” said Fred.
“Mr. Crouch’s elf ?” said Percy, sounding thunderstruck. "If I may Mr Weasley. We know who conjured the Mark. But due to an ongoing investigation we can't divulge further information." "What do you mean, Harry?" Asked Bill. "The ICW with the Department of Mysteries' all around the world are conducting an Investigation." Said Harry before he was interrupted by Percy. "How do you know all of this and why didn't you tell the Ministry about it?" Before Percy could ask anything else, he was silenced with a wand wave by Fred. "Go ahead Aztec." Said George. "Thanks guys. Okay so before we say anything we need Oaths from you that you won't tell anyone what we are about to tell you. I'd rather that you guys were not taken by the ICW or the DOM." Said Harry. Bill, Charlie and Ginny quickly swore an Oath while Percy took a bit more persuasion. After that was done, Harry, Hermione, Ron and the Twins explained everything to them. "Any questions?" Asked Ron, once they were done. "We're just so proud of you guys." Said Bill and Charlie. "Thank you. And before you say anything Percy, your beloved Mr Crouch also knows this." Said Ron. Percy nodded shamefaced. After that they all went to sleep.
