"Now then, could you tell us what happened my boy?" Dumbledore gently inquired, after Harry and his two godfathers had been seated in the room at the DMLE. Also present were Amelia Bones, Shacklebolt, and, the real, Moody.
It had been an hour since Harry was completely released from St. Mungos, meaning that it was also well after midnight. Fatigue was beginning to set in, and more than a few tempers were flaring because of it.
"Crouch," the man's identity had been discovered shortly after the 'rescue' of the Champions from the graveyard, revealed by the true Alastor Moody after he was set free, "put a Wand to my back and led me out of the stands before activating a Portkey. Once we arrived at the graveyard they talked about some ritual and needing my blood. Naturally, I refused until they brought the others in and promised their deaths if I did not cooperate."
"And you thought that reviving the Dark Lord was a good idea!?"
Sirius Black stood, rage in his eyes being directed at the Auror, "If your mutt can't keep his damn mouth shut then we will be leaving Director."
Said woman gave a, more than frosty, glare towards the dark-skinned man, who was promptly silenced. "He will behave Lord Black, please continue Harry."
Nodding, the boy went on, "After I cut my hand that guy threw a couple more things into the cauldron, including his finger, and seconds later old snake face showed up."
Bones nodded, that part had been projected, along with the start of the duel at least.
"He demanded a duel to 'settle things once and for all' and again threatened my friends. Luckily I was able to dodge the first couple curses he threw at me."
"Sounds like more than just luck Potter." the scarred Auror chimed in with a sickening grin. "Got yourself some talent there I think. If you're interested I can…"
"We do not recruit or train underage Wizards and Witches Alastor." Amelia growled, before gesturing towards the teen once more.
"Anyways, I basically just stayed alive until I had a clean shot and then… well you saw what happened."
"Yes, what spell was that Harry?" Albus inquired, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
"My own creation, I had been doing a bit of spell creation and research the past few years and figured out a way to reverse the Killing Curse. I didn't realize it would actually blow him up though… might have to work on that issue…"
Amelia chuckled, the boy was acting like he hadn't just created a defense to one of the most feared spells of all time. "Perhaps when you do that we could convince you to teach a few of the Aurors as well Mr. Potter? With the Death Eaters still free…"
" Exactly, what happened to them Potter?"
Harry just shrugged at the dark-skinned man, "Beats me, I lost consciousness when Voldy-shorts exploded. When I came to Fleur had placed me on the bench and the other two champions were nearby. I guess they just ran when they realized that Sirius Black was bringing swift and terrible vengeance."
The Black Lord grinned, giving the boy a comforting nudge.
"Can you identify any of them Harry?" Amelia inquired gently, earning a shake from the boy's head. "They were wearing masks and it was pretty dark at the time."
"Potter that isn't what…"
"I believe this interview is over." Remus interrupted the man, before rising with his best friend and godson. "If you have further questions you may run them by us first Amelia, but with all of the reporters and issues we are going to be dealing with in the upcoming months I don't want Harry bothered more than absolutely necessary."
"Of course, I will owl if anything else comes up ahead of time."
The two men nodded, before directing the teen out towards the Floos.
Before they fully exited Dumbledore called out once more, "Harry, about the Spell you used…"
He received a nod in return, "I would be happy to teach you Headmaster… but I am afraid the only way I can get it to work thus far is in Parseltongue so…"
The old man merely chuckled, "I suppose that is our luck, isn't it?"
