Kapitel 83: Atonement and Sacrifice
Cornelius Fudge was not a happy man. He stood pacing in front of the judges' table as the other two ministers stood close by. He finally stopped and said "Your time here is at an end Albus. You were all warned of the consequences should some disaster strike at this task and in my opinion that is exactly what has just happened. I will call for a full inquiry into your actions this year."
"Don't think we haven't heard of your attack on Heiress Jones. It has also been rumored that you are the cause of all the problems Mr. Potter has been facing this year. I won't stand for someone being purposely mistreated to serve your greater good. I also plan to have quite a few witnesses to your action on the stand under veritaserum if necessary."
Karkaroff said "What about what was done do my champion? Will that act go unpunished?"
Cornelius turned to the Bulgarian minister who said "We are of the opinion that Mr. Krum deserved whatever punishment he receives. After his attack on Mr. Potter, he should be grateful he is still alive. I don't think I or anyone else will hold Mr. Potter responsible for the justice that was visited upon Mr. Krum and I am deeply shamed by the fact that someone we promoted as the finest our country had to offer has done such immoral and despicable things."
"I'm amazed that he didn't destroy the progress we have made between our three countries. I can assure you Karkaroff that you and Viktor Krum will not be returning home to a hero's welcome. Mr. Krum's contract has already been voided due to morality clauses and I have heard that the International Quidditch Association has a permanent ban on the table concerning him."
McGonagall was standing close by and Cornelius turned to her. "Where were you when all this madness was going on? Where were you when a member of your house needed you? Oh, you don't need to answer those Minerva. You will sit the inquiry as well and if I have my way, your positions as deputy and head of house will be stripped from you for failure in doing your sworn duties."
Cornelius noticed Amelia's assistant come running out of the command post that Amelia had set up and go straight to her. Amelia's hand went up to her mouth and gestured at Cornelius before she and several other Aurors left by portkey. He knew something was wrong and turned as the young Auror approached.
"I'm sorry for interrupting your meeting Minster Fudge but Director Bones told me to inform you that Harry Potter just showed up at the Ministry."
"I'm pleased to hear that, at least we know where he is."
"I'm sorry sir but he just appeared in the DOM where he walked himself and his elf through the Veil in the Death Chamber."
Cornelius paled and activated his emergency portkey that would take him straight to the Ministry. Minerva leaned forward and growled out "This is your fault Albus. His blood is on your hands and I hope James and Lily personally greet you when you die."
"Your hands are not so clean either."
"Yes but I am not so delusional as to believe I am going anywhere but hell for what I have done to that boy."

In the critical ward at St. Mungos, they had two beds side by side holding Cedric and Megan. As the healers were cutting off his dragon hide clothing and working to remove the shards of stone, another was pouring a steady stream of blood replenishing potions down Megan's throat. Megan watched the whole thing as yet another healer came in the room pushing what looked like a muggle medical device.
She heard one of the healers say "Thank Merlin he had on dragon hide. There wouldn't have been enough to work with if he hadn't."
The machine was placed in between Megan and Cedric and the healer started preparing both of them for the transference of blood. Another potion was poured down Megan's throat and her last thoughts were of Harry as she drifted off to sleep. As soon as she was out, the healers started inserting the needles needed to start the transfusion between Megan and Cedric.
