. One man was totally awe struck at Harry's performance. Barty Crouch Jr. Had never seen anything like it, this was an auror level performance and used simple first through third year spells. Harry used no dark curses at all. He had imperioused Krum into the duel and expected Harry to win, but not without even breaking a sweat. The kid was far too good.
The first morning of classes was DADA, and the fake Moody was all over Harry. He pushed Harry to what he thought should be his limits but couldn't find any. He now knew Harry could easily beat him. The worry was showing in his eye, the other seemed fixated on Harry. Harry had expected this knowing who the man really was. Harry was called to the DADA office; He decided this was his chance to save the real Madeye. He was being asked about his readiness for the final task, when the fake Moody turned on him. Harry slipped in stunner and knocked the man out. He then obliviated the faker. Harry got the trunk open and the smell was horrendous. Harry having long ago keyed himself into the Hogwarts wards Made a port key and Sent the real Moody to Grimauld place with a note attached to him. He took an old pillow and transfigured it into a passable form of the old Auror, Closed the trunk and checked the supply of Polyjuice. Knowing Crouch had just enough He revived the fake. "Good Duel professor, sorry I knocked you out. We should try it another time." Harry turned and left a completely confused crouch behind.
Harry was still upset over the second task and its aftermath. While Fleur was knocked out by the poison of the grindylows it had saved her life. Cedric had just returned minutes after the hour with Cho in tow. He couldn't figure out why things were so different. He was just happy all but one of the Horcruxes were destroyed.
The rest of the year would be training his body for the last task. He needed more strength For the Job. He began Running every morning at first one trip around the lake when that became easy it would be two then three.
The months to the task went by agonizingly
Slow. Harry wanted this to end, and it just seemed the hours and days got longer. He was now top of his class and on points first in the school followed closely by Hermione who was working even harder than he remembered.
The task was now the next day, Harry still exuded confidence. Hermione even knowing what was to come was more than worried. She couldn't get out of her mind Harry was facing Voldemort himself. The one change Harry would be making in the ritual was he was giving his blood willingly. It would force the beast to Harry's will. He had also arranged that Aurors would be stationed at the cemetery, to take out the death eaters as soon as they arrived. Harry knew the Snake would be at his feet during the Ritual, He would kill it while no one was looking as the monster would be arising. He had to let that horror call his minions for his entire plan to work. Once the Death Eaters were there, the auror's would attack the port key and antiaperation wards being activated at the moment. It was the perfect trap. There was only one wild card Fleur would not be attacked by Krum in the maze. Although if Harry was very lucky He would follow the same path he remembered and could much more easily disarm all but the acromantula at the end. Cedric would be left behind by a misplaced stunner.
When Harry awoke the next morning He was met by Hermione. They headed off to breakfast together only to find the Grangers awaiting them in the entrance hall. Harry and Hermione were both all smiles as they approached. Mr. and Mrs. Granger What are you doing here?" They both smiled. "We passed our owls last week so we were able to come. We knew you needed moral support Harry. Now Lets eat and you two can show us around this wonderful Castle." Harry didn't need to be asked twice. Fleur suddenly brought her parents over to introduce them. "Harree, I van to introduce to you my parents. This is The Minister for magic of France, my fazzer, Jean Pierre Delacour and my muzzer Brigitte." Harry stood tall shook Jean Pierres hand, he then bowed and kissed fleurs mothers hand. "I'm Pleased to meet you both.
Harry said in a most formal tone. Jean Pierre smiled at Harry. "No need to be so formal, May I call you Harry, I owe you a debt that can never be repaid." Harry looked Puzzled. "What debt sir?"
Jean Pierre Smiled at Harry. "The lives of my daughters, they are both Vela, creatures of fire and love. Another few minutes in that lake and I would have lost them both. You brought them back to us, how could that debt ever be repaid?
Harry smiled. "That debt sir is easily repaid; I need good friends to help me fix the Wizarding world. You sir are in a position to really Help.
Jean Pierre looked pensive for a moment and replied. "That Harry I believe I would be proud to do."
The day moved on from there, Harry and Hermione showed off the castle they called home, until it was time for the task to begin.
Harry Kissed Hermione, and got Hugs from his surrogate parents. The all told him to be careful and win it for them!
When Harry saw the maze it was just as he remembered it. Bagman announced the task and Harry was first with a full lead on Cedric of four minutes. Just like the first time Moody gave a hint of which way to go. The Cannon fired, Harry was off at a good jogging time. He encountered the first obstacle a Bogart. He dispatched it in seconds and went on. He came upon the disorienting jinx and went right through. The stupid blast ended skrewt was a pain but he only lost a minute. He heard the cannon fire Cedric was now in the maze. He redoubled his effort He came on the sphinx and remembered the answer and blurted it out before she could finish, but let him pass. He saw the cup and raced to it. Cut off the legs of the stupid spider and grabbed the cup he was gone.
The Cemetery
Harry landed in the cemetery ready for action. He saw Nagini and stunned her. He headed where the ritual would take place. The cauldron was waiting and he heard some one walking. He slipped some basilisk venom in the cauldron, and allowed Wormtail to stun him. He awoke just as before, to be forced to watch the rebirth of a monster. Wormtail dumped the thing that cared Tom Riddle into the cauldron. It bubbled blue but no sparks this time. Wormtail then dropped a bone in the cauldron.
"Bone of the father unknowingly given you will revive your son."
He then took a dagger and looked at the cauldron.
"Flesh of the servant willingly given you will resurrect your master."
He then walked up to Harry with tears in his eyes.
Wormtail cut Harry's arm. Took a vial and captured the blood all while Harry was silently saying "I willingly give my blood to my servant."
The cauldron turned inky green and threw out sparks. Voldemort began to rise. Harry broke the bonds that held him, but stood fast. His secondary wand flared and Nagini's Head was severed, and a scream was heard but no one paid attention to it. Harry put himself back where he was bound.
Voldemort Stepped out of the cauldron. "Robe me" he said. Wormtail did as he was told. Then Voldemort demanded Wormtail's arm. Voldemort looked the rat with disgust as the rat cowered. "The other arm Wormtail!"
He pressed his wand to the dark mark on Wormtails arm. He looked up to see four trails of black smoke coming towards him.
When the four Death Eaters appeared, Voldemort was surprised they were second tier Death Eaters. He looked upon them. "Where are the members of the inner circle?"
The Death Eater closest to him replied. "Dead My Lord, the others are in Azkaban."
Voldemort's anger was showing "Avada kedavra" and the death eater who spoke was dead. Voldemort was breathing hard His magic waning. "13 years it's been, I find myself….DISAPOINTED! None of you tried to find me. Those most faithful…" Harry stood up. "Will remain in Azkaban Tommy!"
Voldemort turned and looked at who dared contradict him. "Harry Potter The-boy-who-lived, how lies have…"
Harry cut him off again. "You're so great couldn't kill a toddler. Now you're going to pontificate to us on how great you are," Harry laughed. "You're nothing…you threw away the love your mother gave you." Harry said and I gave my blood willingly making you my servant!" Harry laughed again. "Now kneel before me!"
