Now the dragon was using its claws to try and break the shield. Huge swipe of her paws rebounded off the dome. Many cringed, because it sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard.
"You will find the really Moody in a trunk in the DADA office. Me and my friend Dobby have been making sure that he survived the ordeal. We'd've let you know sooner, but the man insisted that we somehow out the imposter first.
He was part of the plan that we hatched here today. Now though, I have to wonder how his longtime friend, Albus Dumbledore, didn't know he was not who he appeared to be," the boy, whose dome was being chewed and clawed on, stated. He looked at the dragon and sighed, he made sure to ask Scotty if the ward was strong and got the reply that it was at 95%. So, the dragon wasn't doing much damage.
The crowd turned as one and looked at the Headmaster, who just sat serenely as if nothing was happening. He was fingering his wand like the wanted nothing more than to shut the boy up, but past experience led him to believe that only the Unforgivables would penetrate that golden dome of his. His only recourse was to make sure that nothing implicated him.
He knew that he had done nothing wrong. He had no idea that the imposter was in the castle. Sure, Alastor was acting a bit odd, but that was usual for the paranoid man. "Harry, my boy, you must stop telling these people things that only the DMLE should know," he tried to reason with the child.
"That's what you think, is it? You shouldn't have fucking kidnapped me, arsehole. Besides, people have a right to know that they were in danger. They have the right to know that you are hiding things from them. Now, let's see who else was hiding things," Harry stated as he put a finger to his temple and broadcasted the memory of the night he ran, from the time Snape found him until he disappeared at the gate.
This time Amelia captured the Potions Master, who was trying to slink away. She put suppressor cuffs on him and frog-marched him back to her people.
The whole while the greasy man glared at the boy hero. He knew he should have run this morning. Blast Dumbledore and Potter. He missed his opportunity by mere hours. Now he could only hope that Albus could get him off again.
The Head of the DMLE then turned and waited for what else the boy had up his sleeve. So far everything the teen stated was something she could work with. She was really hoping that he had more. Though she just knew Dumbledore would talk his way out of trouble, she could finally put his pet Death Eater in Azkaban.
"This," he pulled the vial from his pocket, "is an experimental potion, and judging from what the man said when I accidently took it I'm sure that it is, or should be, illegal." He held it up and everyone could see it was green goo, just like in the memory. "This is what caused my memory loss. The Bloody Baron, before he moved on, told me it's an Unforgivable in a bottle." Then Harry let them see his talk with the ghost, making the crowd boo and jeer at the greasy git. Not that many liked him to begin with.
Finally, Harry showed them what the Headmaster had done to him since he returned. The mind-rape, the attempts to control him and finally the last encounter were all there for everyone to see. The other two schools weren't sure what to make of it. Karkaroff didn't see anything he, himself, wouldn't do, but Madam Maxime was appalled at what the teen had been through. Once more the headmaster tried to intervene, but Harry ignored the old man. Yeah, he was still pissed that he was having to do this while a great big lizard was trying to eat him.
Because he kidnapped the boy to bring him here, Amelia also bound the old man. She didn't think it would stick, but she could at least bring him in for questioning. She knew he could use the excuse that he was trying to prevent the boy from losing his magic, or worse dying.
All this time, the dragon was doing it's very best to get passed the dome. Fire, teeth, and claws weren't working. It was about to start digging up the ground in hopes to get under it.
"Will you stop?!" Harry hissed at the large lizard. "Can't you see I'm not going to harm you or your eggs?" he said more gently, seeing that it had stopped at his command. "Go back to your nest. I'm leaving." And with that, while the dome was still in place, he left the arena, without even looking at the prize.
That's when the screaming started.
