In this chapter... Harry and Cedric’s body are whizzed back, from the graveyard, to the entrance of the maze. The first thing Harry sees is Professor Dumbledore and Cornelius Fudge. The crowd who has been watching the tournament are in shock. Harry tells him Professor Dumbledore that Lord Voldemort is back. Professor Dumbledore heads off Mr Diggory, who is heading towards Harry and Cedric.
Professor Moody helps Harry up to his office – although Professor Dumbledore told Harry to stay where he was. Moody questions Harry about what happened. Harry is amazed and confused as Mad Eye Moody tells him how he has been the traitor all along. Moody’s a Death Eater and has been plotting against Harry all year. He has been assisting Harry through all the tasks – he told Hagrid to tell Harry about the dragons. He told Cedric about the golden egg, knowing Cedric would tell Harry. Moody even gave Neville a book on magical water plants – that mentioned Gillyweed – so that Neville may have assisted Harry with the second task. Harry learns that the real Mad-Eye Moody has been locked up all year in a trunk, and the impersonator is none other that Barty Crouch’s son, whom everyone believed dead.
Just as he raises his wand to kill Harry he’s Stupefied by Dumbledore, who comes crashing into Moody’s office to rescue Harry with Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. Professor Dumbledore gives Crouch a dose of Veritaserum, a truth-telling potion, and he tells them all how he managed to stay alive and get into Hogwarts to help the Dark Lord kidnap Harry. It began when Barty Crouch Junior was sent to Azkaban. Mrs Crouch was dying, so she somehow convinced Barty Crouch, Senior to save Junior from Azkaban by exchanging places - a plan that also involving Polyjuice Potion. Since the Dementors are blind, they did not realize the figure leaving Azkaban was Barty Junior. Barty’s mother used the Polyjuice Potion until she died so that any prisoner who saw her would think that it was still Barty Junior. Mrs Crouch was buried under Barty’s name, while Mrs Crouch’s grave – she had a private funeral – is empty. Barty Junior was placed under an Imperius Curse by his father and forced to wear an Invisibility Cloak at all times while Winky nursed him back to health. One day Bertha Jorkins stopped by the Crouch household and overheard Winky talking to Barty Junior. She heard enough to figure out what was going on. When she confronted Barty Senior, he put such a strong Memory Charm on her that it damaged her mind to be quite forgetful.
Winky talked Mr Crouch Senior into allowing his son to attend the Quidditch World Cup. Barty Crouch Junior was actually sitting in the Top Box next to Winky under the Invisibility Cloak. Barty Crouch Junior stole Harry’s wand. He became annoyed with Death Eaters that were playing games with the Muggles and tried to go after them, later. . Winky used her special powers to restrain him and drag him into the forest. But he was still able to cast the Dark Mark spell with Harry’s wand. When the Ministry wizards shot their stunning spells, both he and Winky were hit, breaking the bond between them. Crouch Senior, on seeing Winky, realized Junior must be there and went to search for him in the bushes. He came back for him when everyone else had gone. He re-placed him under the Imperius Curse and dismissed Winky for allowing Junior to get a wand and almost escape.
Shortly after, Wormtail came to the Crouch’s home with a very frail Lord Voldemort. Voldemort put Barty Senior under the Imperius Curse and released Barty Junior, whom Voldemort ‘chooses’ to carry out his plan at Hogwarts. Wormtail and Barty Junior went to Moody’s house the night before Hogwarts' first term was to start. The ‘real’ Moody put up a fight, but they were able to stun him and stuff him into Moody’s trunk before. Wormtail was to watch over Barty Senior at their house, but as Senior began to fight the Imperius Curse. Crouch Senior escaped from Wormtail and made his way towards Hogwarts to ‘tell all’ to Dumbledore. Harry, and the Marauders Map nearly ruined things – when Harry saw the name Barty Crouch in Professor Snape’s stockroom. Barty Junior killed his father. He turned his father into a bone and buried it in the patch of earth Hagrid had dug up for the Niffler lesson. Before the last Task, Barty Junior offered to take the Triwizard Cup into the Maze and in the process, turned it into a Portkey to take the first person that touched it to the graveyard where Voldemort awaited.
“I told you Harry…I told you. If there’s one thing I hate more than any other, it’s a Death Eater who walked free. They turned their backs on my master, when he needed them most. I expected him to punish them. I expected him to torture them. Tell me he hurt them Harry…” Moody’s face was suddenly lit with an insane smile.
What is in the trunk when Professor Dumbledore inserts the key into the first keyhole? Spell books
Chapter 36: The Parting Of The Ways
In this chapter... Professor Dumbledore takes Harry to his office – Sirius is waiting there. Professor Dumbledore urges Harry to tell him everything, even though Harry would rather just go to sleep. Harry finds that the pain is relieved a bit, as he tells them the story, of what exactly happened in the graveyard. . Harry finds out that his wand’s core, a phoenix feather, comes from Dumbledore’s phoenix, Fawkes. This is why Lord Voldemort’s wand and Harry’s wand refused to duel with each other. This explains why the previous spells – the people Voldemort had killed – were coming out of Voldemort’s wand.
Professor Dumbledore takes him to the hospital wing for a peaceful sleep. Cornelius Fudge’s loud voice disturbs him however. Fudge sent a Dementor to Crouch Junior, and the Dementor adminstered the Dementor’s Kiss. Dumbledore is incensed by this. Now nobody will here the full story. Fudge refuses to believe that Voldemort is back. Fudge doesn’t believe Harry either. Professor Dumbledore says that he and Fudge must go their separate ways. Professor Snape shows Fudge the Dark Mark on his arm. This proves Lord Voldemort has returned to power. Fudge gives Harry his Triwizard winnings – even though Harry doesn’t want all the gold galleons. Dumbledore immediately springs into action. Sirius reveals himself. Snape and Sirius relucantly shake hands, but it is clear they still hate each other. Dumbledore starts issuing orders, recalling members of the old Order that fought Voldmort when he was powerful before.
“The only one against whom I intend to work,” said Dumbledore, “is Lord Voldemort. If you are against him, then we remain, Cornelius, on the same side.”
Which two adults does Professor Dumbledore insist put their differences aside? Sirius Black and Professor Snape
Chapter 37: The Beginning In this chapter... It is nearly end of the school year. Harry hardly notices them passing. The Trio learn that Hagrid and Madam Maxine are about to go on a journey for Dumbledore to help in the fight with Voldemort, but he won’t say what it is. The last feast is a sombre meal. Cedric’s memory is honored, and Professor Dumbledore tells the school that Voldemort has come back.
As they travel back to London, Hermione tells them a big secret. She discovered how Rita was getting all her information – she was transgfiguring herself into a bettle/ she was a unregistered Animagus. Hermione threatened to tell the Ministry about her illegal shape-changing unless she held off writing gossip for one full year. The Trio get into a final argument with Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. The Trio hit them with spells – and so do the Weasley Twins.
Fred and George finally tell the Trio who they had been blackmailing. Ludo Bagman paid the Twins in Leprchaun gold, at the Quidditch World Cup. He refused to pay them in proper gold – of course the Leprchaun gold vanished after a few hours. Ludo was always trying to asist Harry with the Triwizard tasks, because he had placed a bet, with goblins, that Harry would win the Triwizard Tournament. Harry decides to give Fred and George his winnings so they can realize their dream to open a joke shop. He feels slightly better when he gets off the train and leaves with the Dursley’s.
“Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.”
Where did Hermione catch Rita Skeeter as a beetle? In the hospital wing after the third task
