Alyssa set up the memories for fourth year and they used the penseive, getting ready to watch.
'You all ready?' She asked.
They nodded.
'Then let's go, fourth year- when things get dark.'
'Oh god.' Lily groaned in worry.
An old man lit a gas oven with a match, he was preparing food. He noticed a light on in the large house opposite, he stopped what he was doing and walked to the door.
'Bloody kids.'
He left the house and headed towards the light.
'Mistake number one.' Marlene clicked her tongue.
'2 galleons, he dies in this memory.' Barty said and Evan frowned,
'Can you bet on people's lives or is in unethical?'
'Probably the latter, so?'
'Deal.'
'Bad deal Evan. He's so gonna die.' Regulus shook his head.
The old man was wandering up to the house carrying a lit torch. He opened the front door, inside was just as dark. He began climbing the stairs, whispers and hushed voices coming from upstairs.
'Mistake number two.' Marlene nodded in disappointment.
The old man waited outside the room where the conversation is taking place and listened on.
'Mistake number three. Merlin, has this guy never watched a horror film?' Marlene chided.
'Oh no no no my Lord Voldemort. I only meant...perhaps if we were to do it without the boy...'
'Hey Wormtail, it's you!' James exclaimed.
'Yeah, talking to Voldemort because I'm a traitor who betrays your trust and causes your death.' Peter said bitterly.
'We'll...yeah, but it sounds there like you were trying to carry out an evil plan without using my son so cheers!' James responded.
'NO! The boy is everything, it cannot
be done without him and it WILL be done
exactly as I say.' Voldemort replied.
'But I failed even at that.' Peter sighed.
Another man who's face wasn't visible spoke,
'I will not disappoint you my lord.'
'Good, first father our old comrades, send them a sign.'
A snake slithered past the old man and into the room.
'Ah shit.' Frank muttered.
'Nagini tells me the old caretaker is
standing outside the door.'
'This isn't good.'
'Question. Who's memory is this? Like was it that man's and you somehow got his memories?' Marlene asked.
'Nah, it's not his memory. Just watch.' Alyssa responsed.
Wormtail stood in the doorway and looked at the old man. The old man looked terrified.
'Step aside so I can give our guest a
proper greeting.'
A loud spell was cast.
'Called it!' Barty yelled.
'Come on dude, at least have a bit of class- he literally just died.'
Harry woke up in his bed in a flash of panic.
'Oh so it was Harry's dream and that's how you got the memory.' Marlene nodded.
'Wait, why did Harry have that dream? Was it real?' Lily asked in concern.
'Watch and you'll find out.' Luna shushed them, intrigued at the matter herself having not been fully informed about all of this.
'Harry!' Hermione called out.
Harry was flustered and still panicking.
'Are you alright?'
'Hermione. Bad dream. When did you get here?'
'Just now. You?'
'Last night...is Lyss around?'
'She's downstairs with Ginny but she'll be up in a minute.'
Hermione went over to Ron's bed.
'Wake up. Wake up Ronald!'
'Bloody hell.'
'Honestly. Get dressed, and don't go back to sleep. Come on Ron! Your mother says breakfast's ready.'
'She's like a mother.' Sirius sighed.
They were shown walking through long grass, all looking exhausted.
'Where are we actually going?' Harry asked making Ron shrug,
'Don't know. Hey Dad! Where are we going?'
'Haven't the foggiest, keep up!'
They reached the top of the grassy hill to see Amos and Cedric.
'Arthur! It's about time son.'
'Sorry Amos. Some of us had a bit of a sleepy start. This is Amos Diggory everyone, he works with me at the ministry. And this strapping young lad must be Cedric, am I right?'
'Hey! That's the kid who saved you from falling off your broom with the dementors third year!' Regulus exclaimed, pointing at Cedric.
'Yeah.' Alyssa nodded, 'that's the one.'
'He's cute.' Marlene mused.
'Aren't you a lesbian?'
'Thank you for that Rosier, once again, just because I'm gay doesn't mean I can't tell when a guy is attractive.' Marlene shot back hotly, 'so, Lyss, what do you think?'
'Me and Cedric? He's um indisposed.'
'What?'
'I mean he's in the past...or future. Not to mention he's way older than me.'
'Only a few years.' Marlene shrugged.
'Not to mention I'm not interested.'
'Sure sure sure.'
'I'm not.'
'Yeah because she's in love with Theodore Nott.' Barty sung teasingly making Alyssa shoot him a heated glare.
'Yes sir.'
'Merlin's beard, you must be Harry Potter.'
'Yes sir. This way.'
'Great great pleasure.'
They shook hands.
'Pleasure to meet you too sir.'
They walked on up the hill, the kids hanging back- Cedric approaching Alyssa.
'Hey, Lyss. How are you?'
'Doing fine- you?'
'Great. I can't wait to watch the cup. It's going to be incredible!'
'Lyss stop consorting with the enemy!' Fred hissed from behind her making her roll her eyes. George nodded,
'He's a Hufflepuff- he's on the opposing quidditch team!'
'Still salty you lost to us then?' Cedric asked with a smirk and Fred and George glared,
'Wasn't really our fault.'
'Okay, that's enough of that.' Alyssa cut the arguing off and Hermione added in,
'Pretty impressive you managed to catch the snitch and stop Ali falling off her broom in one fell swoop.'
'Let's not talk about that please.' Alyssa scrunched up her face as the others laughed and Harry nodded,
'I think you deserved the snitch after that.'
'Cheers but it wasn't a fair match.' Cedric shrugged his compliment off.
'Aw, he seems like a sweet guy.' Lily said with a smile and James frowned,
'Maybe I slightly forgive him for stealing Harry's victory.'
'When did you two become friends?' Sirius asked.
'Every aspect of my life isn't included in these memories- just key ones- but we became friends during second year when he tutored me after I fell behind in history of magic. Dull subject. Anyway, he's a nice guy so we stayed friends since.'
'You're friends with everyone.'
'I'm sociable.' She shrugged.
'That's it sir, just over there.'
The kids turned to the adults who gestured them to hurry up, Amos saying,
'Shall we? We don't want to be late.'
They reached the top of the hill, gathering around a dirty looking brown boot.
'Why are they all standing around that
manky old boot?' Harry muttered.
'That isn't just any old manky boot mate.'
'It's a portkey.'
Everyone stood in a circle putting their hands on the boot.
'Time to go. Ready?'
'What's a 'portkey'?'
'Does it unlock something?' Alyssa guessed. Harry nodded,
'Maybe an alcohol cupboard.'
'Where did you get that from?' Hermione despaired in disbelief.
'Port is an alcohol.'
'Key unlocks something.'
'Logic.'
Harry and Alyssa reasoned as Hermione groaned,
'How are we related?'
'Very logical.' Andy laughed.
'You're literally looking at a boot! It's clearly not a key.' Remus groaned.
'Looks can be deceiving.' Alyssa defended herself.
Alyssa laughed and Ron shrugged,
'Well you're IQ levels pretty much match.'
'Take that back Ronald Weasley.' Hermione scowled as the twins laughed.
'After 3. One...Two...' Amos started and Arthur yelled out,
'Kids!'
During the conversation, all the children had moving from holding the boot but they now rushed over and put their hands back on the boot, Harry and Alyssa doing so in confusion.
'Three!'
There was a white flash and suddenly they were all flying through the air. Everyone cheered.
'Let go kids!'
'What??'
'Let! Go!'
Harry, the Grangers and the young Weasleys crashed to the ground with
a thump.
'I always fall over when I take portkeys.' Sirius admitted and Peter laughed,
'You're not as bad as James though- remember that time last year when-'
'Yes! We all remember now let's please never speak of the incident again.' James cut him off.
'Now I'm intrigued.' Marlene smirked and James shook his head furiously.
'No no no! I will never hear the end of it if you find out. Let's please move on.'
'Well, you see, last year-' Sirius began but James interrupted,
'Remember last month I came in to our dorm and you and Moony-'
'Alright! Shut it Prongs...nothing happened last year.' Sirius was bright red, pushing his hair back from his face as Remus' cheek's tinged pink. Marlene's mouth was wide open, gaping in shock as her eyes darted between Remus and Sirius. Regulus' face was scrunched up in horror and everyone else looked confused, Reg and Marlene seemingly being the only ones who caught on to what happened with the exception of Alyssa who looked seconds away from bursting out laughing.
Arthur, Amos and Cedric came down more gracefully.
'I bet that cleared your sinuses eh?'
Cedric helped Harry to his feet.
'Thanks.'
He moved to help Alyssa up who muttered her thanks too. They walked across the field to see a massive crowd gathered and cheering, tents were set up all over.
'Well kids, welcome to the Quidditch
World Cup!'
'Woah!'
All the quidditch fans looked in awe except Sirius who's face was still red and was still trying to avoid eye contact with his brother.
They walked into the crowd, taking in the sights. Music was playing and people flew about overhead on brooms. They approached a small tent.
'Parting of the waves I think old chap, see you at the match.'
Amos and Cedric separated and walked off.
'See ya later Cedric.' Harry nodded as Alyssa waved.
'Home sweet home.'
They entered the tent, the inside was many times bigger than the outside.
'Woah.' Lily muttered in amazement, 'it's like the tardas.'
'The what?' Bella frowned.
'The tardas, you know, in doctor who?'
'Doctor who?' Bella asked Barty.
'I don't know who?' Barty said in equal confusion.
'What?' Evan frowned.
'Doctor who- it's a series on tv. It's great.'
Alyssa explained.
'And this series has a tardus?'
'Tardas.' Lily corrected, 'it's like a kind of space ship that looks like a phone box and it's bigger on the inside than the outside.'
'Cool, so it's a show in outer space?' James clarified.
'Well...not really, I mean yes they do go to space but they also go back and forwards in time.'
'So it's a time machine?'
'Yeah, pretty much.'
'Even cooler.'
'Why does it look like a phone box?' Marlene asked curiously.
'What is a phone box?' Bella asked.
'A box on the streets to make phone calls, and it just does.' Alyssa answered both Marlene and Bella but neither looked satisfied with their answers.
'So you can walk inside a box and you get given a phone?' Bella asked
'No, there's a built in phone in the box you can use.' Alyssa explained.
'For free?'
'No, you pay like 50p or something.'
'What's a p?'
'A penny- Muggle currency, you get pence and pounds.'
'Woah, it must be so weird not using galleons, sickles and knuts.'
'Well it was actually weird learning to use wizarding currency after years of Muggle money.'
'Right...I can't imagine being a Muggle, imagine having no magic, what a lame life.'
'It's not bad, you should live in the Muggle world- no magic- for a week and see what it's like.' Alyssa challenged Bella who scoffed,
'And why would I do that?'
'So you at least have fair grounds on judging them- you don't personally know a single Muggle and yet you've decided to hate all of them. Sounds a bit unfair, don't you think?'
'I've heard stories.'
'From people who hate muggles. You've adopted your parents views, maybe you should get your own and then have a fair basis on what you're judging them on.'
'How did we go from time machine's to blood supremacy?' Frank asked, shaking his head in disbelief.
'Girls. Choose a bunk and unpack. Ron,
get out of the kitchen we're all hungry.'
'Yeah get out of the kitchen Ron.'
'Feet off the table.'
'Feet off the table.'
They took their feet off the table and put them back on as soon as Arthur has walked past.
'I love magic.' Harry smiled.
A large stadium was show which seemed to have a huge number of floors. Inside the studious, the Weasleys, Grangers and Harry were finding their seats.
'Blimey Dad, how far up ARE we?'
Lucius Malfoy and Draco were walking below them.
'Well put it this way, if it rains...you'll be the first to know.'
'Father and I are in the minister's box, by personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge himself.'
'Don't boast Draco. There's no need with
these people. Do enjoy yourself won't you. While you can.'
'What dicks.' Sirius scoffed.
The ceremonies began. Balloons flew and fireworks went off.
'Come on up, take your seats. I told you these seats would be worth waiting for.'
'Come on!'
'It's the Irish!'
Five green and white figures flew through the air on their brooms leaving a colored trail behind them. A glittering leprechaun
appeared in the sky and starts dancing. Everyone was excited.
'Here come the Bulgarians!'
Five red figures this time, one of them performed a stunt on his broom. One of them appeared on the large screen. The crowd began to chant 'Krum, Krum, Krum'.
'Krum!!!'
'Yes!'
Viktor Krum waved to the crowd.
'Who's that?' Regulus asked.
'Viktor Krum. The Bulgarian seeker, he's a good player- Ron was obsessed with him.' Alyssa answered.
The announcement rung loudly through the stadium.
'Good evening! It gives me great pleasure
to welcome each and every one of you to the final of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup. Let the match begin!'
The memory cut to inside the Weasley's tent after the match.
'What? No!' James yelled.
'I wanted to watch!' Marlene groaned.
Alyssa shrugged,
'There's not time to show a whole quidditch World Cup.'
Ron sighed,
'There's no one like Krum. He's like a bird the way he rides the wind. He's more than an athlete, he's an artist.'
'Someone's obsessed.' Cissa laughed.
'For now.' Alyssa murmured.
The twins were bumbling about in a comical way muttering 'KRUMMMM'.
Ginny laughed,
'Think you're in love Ron?'
The twins began singing,
'Viktor I love you! Viktor I do!'
Harry and Alyssa joined in whilst Hermione shot them an amused look.
'When we're apart my heart beats only
for youuu!'
A loud bang and shouting came from outside.
'Sounds like the irish have got their pride on.'
'The Irish won?' Regulus asked, 'why were you cheering for Krum then?'
'He caught the snitch- Bulgaria was losing by a lot and he knew they couldn't even it out so he caught the snitch to make the win less unanimous and to make the match end on his terms.' Alyssa exclaimed and the quidditch fanatics all nodded, looking impressed.
Arthur burst in, worry written all over his face,
'Stop! Stop it. It's not the irish. We've gotta get out of here. Now.'
They all frowned in worry.
'Who is it?' Lily asked.
They rushed outside of the tent.
'Get back to the portkey everybody, and
stick together. Fred, George...Ginny is your responsibility.'
Some figures in pointed hoods carrying flaming torches were walking across the campsite chanting ominous noises. The crowd was panicked and rushing all over. They all rushed away to the portkey however Harry fell behind and was trampled unconscious.
Lily stared in horror,
'Oh for fucks sake, not again!'
The memory cut to later on outside, the crowds were all gone. A man walked through the rubble kicking at things. He cast a spell which caused a bright flash and a large ghostly skull formed in the sky with a snake crawling from it. The man grinned evilly, clearly demented.
'He looks kind of like you Barty.' Regulus commented, tilting his head to the side as he stared at the man. Everyone followed his lead, staring at him before nodding.
'Oh yeah, he kinda does.'
Barty groaned,
'Is that me?'
Alyssa frowned,
'Is that a spoiler? That's definitely a spoiler, isn't it?'
'It is me.' Barty groaned, 'great, so I'm a deatheater in the future.'
'You're a deatheater now.' Luna pointed out.
'Well yeah but I hoped that I'd manage to get out of it in the future but apparently I'm shooting out dark marks at quidditch games.' He sighed.
'Well you're um...not all bad in the future, I actually quite liked you.' Alyssa said causing everyone to look confused.
'You did?'
'Sort of...hard to explain but you weren't all bad- well you weren't great but whatever.'
'You've just confused me even more.' Barty frowned.
Evan piped up,
'Am I in any of the memories? Or Reg? Are we both Deatheaters? Or are we dead?'
'Okay answering any of those questions would be giant spoilers so I'm saying nothing.'
'Am I in any other memories?' Sirius asked, 'or Remus? Or Marlene...never mind she's dead. Who else? Alice and Frank? Pandora? Lovegood? Peter? Bella? Cissa? An-'
'Stop listing everyone! I'm not telling you shit so shut up and watch.' Alyssa cut him off in annoyance.
'Oh yeah, where am I?' Bella asked, 'am I dead?'
'Wow, okay. How do I make this clear...I'm not answering your questions because they're spoilers! Okay?'
'But I wanna know if-'
'Bella, Shh.' Andy silenced her, 'let's keep watching.'
Harry stirred and witnessed the man standing there, he stumbled to his feet, beginning to run away. The familiar voices of Ron, Alyssa and Hermione were calling for him.
'Harry! Thank god.'
'Been looking for you for ages. Thought
we lost you.'
'What is THAT?'
They looked at the monstrous thing in the sky, Harry held his head in pain. Suddenly they were fired on.
'What the hell?!' James yelled, 'are those deatheaters?'
'Not quite.'
'Stop! That's my son.'
Arthur and others approached.
'Ah, great, the ministry was shooting at you.' James shook his head in disbelief.
'Ron, Harry, Alyssa, Hermione are you alright?'
'Which of you conjured this?' Barty asked.
'Twas me dad.' Barty answered shaking his head in mock guilt.
'He doesn't seriously think one of them did it does he?' Alice scoffed, 'they're barely fourth years.'
'You can't possibly...'
'Do not lie! You have been discovered at the scene of the crime!'
'Crime?'
'Barty, they're just kids.'
'What crime?'
'Harry it's his mark.'
'Volde-'
'Yes, Ali. His.'
'Those people tonight, in the masks...they're his too aren't they? they're
his followers.'
'Follow me.'
'There was a man. Before. There.'
'Me!' Barty grinned.
'All of you, this way.'
'Harry, who?'
'I dunno. I didn't see his face.'
'Lucky for you Barty.' Evan slapped him on the back.
'And unlucky for Harry.' Lily added.
