My Slytherin Prince

Chapter Thirty Seven

Iris’s P.O.V
After seeing Voldemort come back, he managed to take a few steps over to Pettigrew before speaking up to him, “my wand Wormtail” he said to Pettigrew and he gave it to Voldemort, “hold out your arm.” he said to Pttigrew, “Master, thank you Master.” he said to Voldemort, “the other arm Wormtail” Voldemort said before he had done so and Voldemort did something before thunder rolled in the sky before some other’s landed around Voldemort and realized that they were his followers, “welcome my friends. 13 years it’s been and yet here you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself disappointed, not one of you tried to find me.” he said before saying their names one by one before stopping at one, “not even you, Lucius.” he said before Lucius dropped to his knees, “my Lord, if I detected any sign or whisper of your whereabouts-” Lucius began to say before Voldemort cut him off, “there are signs my slippery friend and more than whispers'' Voldemort told him, “I assure you my Lord, I have never renounce the old ways. The face that I have been obliged to present since the day of your absence, that is my true mask.” Lucius said to him before Pettigrew spoke up, “I returned” he mentioned, “out of fear, not loyalty. Still, you have proven yourself useful these past few months, Wormtail.” Voldemort said before giving Pettigrew a new hand, “thank you Master. Thank you.” Pettigrew said to him before Voldemort walked over to Cedric’s lifeless body, “such a handsome boy.” he said, “don’t touch him.” Harry spoke up before Voldemort looked at us, “Harry and Iris, I’d almost forgotten the both of you were here. Standing on the bones of my father. I’d introduce you but word has it that both of you are almost as famous as me these days.” he said to us, “can’t imagine why.” I told him as he turned away, “the Twins Who Lived. How lies have fed your legend Harry and Iris. Shall I reveal what really happened that night 13 years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my Powers? It was love. You see, when dear, sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her two children, she provided the ultimate protection, I could not touch them. It was old Magic, something I should have foreseen but no matter, No matter, things have changed, I can touch you now.” he said before he touched our scars causing the both of us to scream at the pain it caused us before it finally stopped, “astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do. Pick up your wands Potter’s. I said pick them up.” he said to us as we fell to the ground and we quickly grabbed our wands, “you both have been taught how to duel I presume? First, we bow to each other. Come on now you two, the niceties must be observed, Dumbledore wouldn’t want either of you to forget your manners would her? I said Bow” he said to us before he forced Harry and I to bow before he started torturing us before he continued speaking, “you’re parents would be proud, especially your filthy Muggle mother” he said to us before we tried attacking him but we were unsuccessful, “I’m going to kill you Harry and Iris Potter. I’m going to destroy you both. After tonight, no one will ever again question my power. After tonight, if they speak of you both, they’ll speak only of how the both of you begged for death and I, being a merciful Lord, obliged” he said to us before forcing us to get up before Harry and I hid behind one of the graves, “don’t you dare turn your backs on my Harry and Iris Potter. I want you both to look at me when I kill the both of you.” He said to us, “what do we do? We can’t stay behind here forever.” I said to him, “I want to see the light leave your eyes.” we heard Voldemort say to us, “we fight.” Harry said to me before we took a moment before coming out of hiding and stood in front of Voldemort, “have it your way.” Harry said to him before Harry and I managed to fight back.

After a moment had passed, both Harry and I struggled a little before something began to happen as something surrounded the three of us before something else happened as the spirits of the people Voldemort killed came from his wand as one of them ended up being Cedric before mum and dad were on either side of Harry and myself, “Harry, Iris when the connection is broken, you both must get to the Portkey. We can distract him for a moment to give you both some time but only for a moment do you both understand?” Dad said to us and we both nodded, “Harry, Iris take my body back will you. Take my body back to my father.” Cedric said to us before hearing mum speak up, “let go. Sweetheart, you're both ready. Let go. Let go.” she said to us before we did what she said and before they gave us some time before we got to Cedric’s body and had the Porkey come to us and as soon as we touched the cup, we transported and made it back outside the Maze where we heard everyone and I quickly sat up and brought my knees to my chest as I cried a little to myself about what had just happened and as soon as we heard a scream, I noticed some of the other begin to realize what had happened before Dumbledor and some of the others came over to Harry and I, “Dumbledore what happened?” I heard the Minister ask, “he’s back. He’s back, Voldemort is back. Cedric, he asked us to bring his body back.” Harry told them, “we couldn’t leave him, not there.” I told them, “it’s alright you two, it’s alright. You’re home, the three of you are.” Dumbledore said to us before the Minister tried keeping everyone back, “the body must be moved, Dumbledore. There are too many people.” the Minister said before I felt someone touch me and I looked to see that it was Professor McGonagall before hearing Cedric’s father get through everyone before seeing what happened for himself, “that’s my son. That’s my boy.” he said before kneeling in front of Cedric before Harry and I were pulled away from everything that’s happening, “this is not where either of you want to be right now. Come on.” Professor Moody said to us as he took us away from it all before we later ended up back at his office and both Harry and I sat down, “are you two alright?” Professor Moody asked us and we just nodded, “does it hurt? Those.” he asked us, “not so much now.” Harry told him, “perhaps I better take a look at it.” Professor Moody said as he looked at the cuts we had on our arms from Pettigrew, “the cup was a Portkey.” I mentioned to him “someone had bewitched it.” Harry said to him as I felt off about our current conversation with Professor Moody, “what was it like? What was he like?” He asked us, “who?” Harry asked him, “the Dark Lord.” he said to him, “I thought you would have figured that out with all the stories that were made up about him.” I said to him before he walked away, “what was it like to stand in his presence?” He asked us, “I don’t know. It was like I had fallen into one of my dreams.” Harry told him as I noticed something was going on with Professor Moody, “into one of our nightmares.” I continued before I watched him try to drink something and I furrowed my brows a little as I thought about what it could be before he went looking for something, “I don’t like this. Something isn’t right about him.” I said to Harry in a whisper, “what do you mean?” he asked me, “I don’t know. When he tried drinking something from his flask, he panicked before walking away into the other room.” I whispered to him before Professor Moody spoke up again, “were there others? In the Graveyard, were there others?” he asked us, “we never mentioned the Graveyard.” I told Harry, “I don’t think we said anything about a Graveyard Professor.” Harry told him, “spill. Who are you really?” I asked him, “marvelous creatures, dragons aren’t they? Do you think that miserable oaf would have led you into the woods if I hadn’t suggested it? Do you think Cedric Diggory would have told the both of you to open the egg underwater if I hadn’t told him first myself? Do you think Neville Longbottom, the witless wonder, could have provided you with Gillyweed if I hadn’t given him the book that led him straight to it?” Professor Moody said to the both of us, “Iris is right, it was you from the beginning. You put our names in the Goblet of Fire. you bewitched Krum.” Harry said to him, “you both won because I made it so Potter. You ended up in that Graveyard tonight because it was meant to be and now the dead is done” he said to us before he grabbed our arms, “the blood that runs through these veins runs within the Dark Lord.” he said before he walked away and turned back around and something began to happen to him, “imagine how he will reward me when he learns that I have once and for all silenced the Great Harry and Iris Potter” he said and before he could do anything, something happened to him.

After the door flew off its hinges, Dumbledore, Snape and Professor McGonagall rushed into the room before they went over to Professor Moody and Snape had given him something before they started questioning him, “do you know who I am?” Dumbledore asked him, “Albus Dumbledor.” he told him, “are you Alastor Moody? Are you?” Dumbledore asked him before shaking his head, “no.” he said to Dumbledore, “is he in this room? Is he in this room?” Dumbledore asked, “what about this. I remember it shaking and I heard screaming from it a while back.” I mentioned as I pointed at the chest, “Harry, Iris away from there.” Dumbledore said to us before we got out of the way before they managed to get the chest unlocked and opened before we all went over to it before seeing the really Moody inside, “bloody hell. Is he going to be alright?” I questioned, “are you alright Alastor?” Dumbldore asked him, “I’m sorry Albus.” he said to Dumbledore, “if that’s Moody, then who's?” Harry began to as before Snape smelled the flask, “Polyjuice Potion.” Snape mentioned, “now we know who’s been stealing from your stores Severus.” Dumbledore said before Snape looked at Harry and I, “what are you looking at us for?” I said to him, “we’ll get you up in a minute.” Dumbledore said to Moody before something began to happen to the fake Moody as the Polyjuice Potion that he was taking was starting to wear off before it was over, “remind me never to take Polyjuice Potion.” I said to them before Harry went over to see who it was before Dumbledore and I pulled him back before the man could do anything to him before seeing that it was the man from the dreams I’ve been having, “Barty Crouch Jr.” Dumbledore said, “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” Barty said to us before they showed our arms, “you know what this means, don’t you? He’s back. Lord Voldemort has returned.” Barty said to us, “I’m sorry sir, we couldn’t help it.” Harry said to Dumbledore, “send an Owl to Azkaban. I’d think they’d find they’re missing a prisoner.” Dumbledore said, “I’ll be welcomed back like a hero.” Barty said as we made our way out, “perhapes. Personally, I never had much time for heroes” Dumbledore said before we made it out of the room and my mind was filled with the thoughts of everything that had happened before.
