Special: Journey to Another World Pt.2 [Special]
Suddenly, upon seeing us arrive with a bound Voldemort and a floating corpse, everyone fell silent. They stared at us, not understanding what was happening.
"My son!" Amos Diggory shouted as he saw his son being gently lowered to the ground, where he lay motionless. He rushed over, crying, and held him in his arms.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help him. Voldemort killed him," Harry quickly said, pointing at the half-dead Dark Lord.
At the mention of that name, everyone in the stands began screaming in fear and tried to flee the area.
"Silence!" Dumbledore's voice resonated throughout the place, making everyone calm down.
Meanwhile, I turned to Loki and whispered something to him. He nodded and vanished without anyone noticing.
"Harry, you need medical attention. Please head to the infirmary," Dumbledore said as he approached, looking at us intently.
"He feels different," Wanda murmured as she observed him. We also noticed that he kept his hand near his wand, eyeing us and Voldemort with suspicion.
"I'm fine. I took some healing potions they gave me," Harry quickly said, wanting to stay and see what would happen with Voldemort.
"Who might you be?" Dumbledore asked with a fake smile as he carefully observed us.
I just sighed as I realized something.
"We're Harry's siblings," Wanda answered impulsively, but Natasha quickly stopped her. She seemed to have understood something as well.
She wasn't SHIELD's best spy for nothing.
"Sorry, we're Harry's maternal relatives. We came from America," Natasha said calmly while Dumbledore continued analyzing us.
"Very well. I'm sorry, then, but you will have to be questioned regarding young Diggory's death and the abduction of an unknown man who is now half-dead," Dumbledore said as people in the stands exchanged confused glances, not entirely understanding.
"He's not an unknown man, he's Voldemort! He killed Cedric!" Harry shouted, clearly frustrated.
"Poppy, please take Harry to the infirmary and check if he's under the Imperius Curse," Dumbledore ordered as the nurse quickly moved into action, looking somewhat confused.
"This man is not Voldemort. I have fought Voldemort for years," Dumbledore told the audience, who began to calm down and looked at us with suspicion.
"Oh, I just realized it," Wanda said, touching her head.
"Took you long enough," Tony teased with a sarcastic smile.
Meanwhile, Dumbledore gestured to Fudge to have his Aurors arrest us.
"So the plan is to blame us for Cedric's death and then free Voldemort so the war can start again?" Tony asked, looking at Dumbledore with disdain.
"As I said, that poor man is not Voldemort. And regarding young Diggory's death, you must be questioned to determine if you're guilty," Dumbledore replied coldly, keeping his gaze fixed on us.
"Loki, did you catch him?" I asked into the air, and in response, Loki appeared from the stands with a sword pointed at "Mad-Eye" Moody's throat.
"He tried to escape the moment he saw his master half-dead," Loki said as he walked toward the center of the place with the supposed professor.
Upon seeing this, Dumbledore quickly drew his wand and aimed it at us, as did the Aurors.
"Taking one of my professors hostage does not make you seem more innocent," Dumbledore said seriously, seemingly ready to cast a spell.
Meanwhile, the people in the stands began to fear once again for what was happening, but something caught everyone's attention.
It was then that "Mad-Eye" Moody began to change. It seemed that the Polyjuice Potion was wearing off.
He fully returned to his true form, and several recognized him immediately.
"Barty Crouch Jr?!" Fudge shouted in confusion.
Meanwhile, Voldemort began to wake up, completely in pain.
"Damned! Damn bastards, I'll kill you! Filthy mudbloods!" he shouted, trying to move or use magic, but nothing happened.
Now, everyone looked at Dumbledore, waiting to see what he would say. But he seemed to be calculating his next move... which was ruined by his "companion."
"Dumbledore, you fool! These brats ruined everything! It's all a disaster!" Voldemort shouted, glaring at the headmaster.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Dumbledore knew the man and that they somehow had a plan together.
Sigh "What an idiot. If you had stayed unconscious a little longer, you might have gotten away, Tom," Dumbledore said, annoyed, as all eyes turned to him.
The place fell into complete silence after this unexpected turn of events.
"Did you wake up Voldy?" Tony asked, looking at me.
I just gave him a smile.
"Now comes a villain monologue, right?" Wanda said, watching Dumbledore with interest.
"We're not in a movie or a comic," Natasha interjected, shaking her head. But what followed left her completely silent.
"Oh, what does it matter... It seems everything has failed," Dumbledore said, standing tall and still holding his wand, though this time he wasn't aiming at anyone in particular.
"Tom was supposed to revive and restart his war for blood purity," he began his monologue, looking at Voldemort with disdain. "Then, under my guidance, the 'Boy Who Lived' would join the fight against those ideals. He would form an army, and to sustain it, a lot of money would be needed."
Everyone listened intently, shocked.
"And then, simply, the 'Boy Who Lived' would die at Voldemort's hands, who would easily destroy his army. At that point, I would disappear from England, leaving Voldemort to rule the magical world."
"And what did you gain from all this?" McGonagall asked furiously.
"The money the army wouldn't be able to use. Do you understand, Minerva? After so many years protecting this filthy place, I just wanted to retire peacefully on a paradise island," he said with a sarcastic smile.
"But you're Dumbledore! You should be rich! You should protect us!" shouted Molly Weasley from a distance.
"Protect you? For what? To be watched all the time because you fear my power? I don't even have full control over my own school," Dumbledore said with annoyance. "And after all these years, did I receive any payment for it? My money ran out a long time ago."
"Ah, I see... You spent it on illegal potions, right?" I said, understanding the strange sensation I had while seeing him. His body also seemed out of sync with his magic.
"That's right, young one," he replied calmly, not caring that I had just exposed him. "Now I see how easily you've broken my plan of so many years."
"No. We literally just arrived," Wanda said, though Dumbledore didn't seem to hear her and continued talking.
"From the beginning, I controlled young Weasley so that Potter would befriend him and later join the blood traitors in the war," he said while Molly Weasley stood in shock.
"You... controlled my son?!" Molly screamed, trying to lunge at Dumbledore, but her husband stopped her, reminding her that he was still a powerful wizard.
"Yes, but as an excuse, the following year I made Harry save your daughter. That way, they would fall in love, and you could receive some leftover coins after Harry's death," he said as though it were a noble act.
"Excuse me?! Putting our daughter in danger?! We don't want that money!" Arthur Weasley shouted, furious.
He even began to question if Harry's closeness to his family had just been part of a plan.
"I tried to make Harry feel at home in the magical world. I even brought people who had cared for him as a child so I wouldn't feel as guilty for his death," Dumbledore continued, as if justifying his actions. "I even sent Fudge to Azkaban so that Sirius Black would see the diary and escape to reunite with his godson."
"Liars!" Harry yelled, who had arrived a while ago and overheard everything, shocked.
"This feels like a movie," Wanda said, eating popcorn and offering some to the others.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I have nothing to lose, Harry," Dumbledore said with fake sadness. Then he raised his wand and pointed it at us. "Fiendfyre!"
A fire spell shot from his wand, but I opened a portal to the sea, redirecting it.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry shouted, easily disarming him. Well, at least this weakened version of Dumbledore.
The aurors quickly captured him while Fudge sighed.
"Albus, what foolishness have you done..." Fudge said, looking at the defeated headmaster.
"Thank you for catching Voldemort. He almost started a war where many would die," Dumbledore said, shaking our hands with a professional air. Then he ordered the aurors to capture Voldemort.
"Idiots, I'm immortal! I'll return. There's no one who can stop me!" Voldemort shouted.
"True, that," I said while opening a portal and several dark objects fell to the ground in front of us.
"Harry, come here for a second," I signaled to the confused boy.
"What's going on?" he asked, approaching.
"This is going to hurt a bit, but you have a Horcrux on your forehead, and I'm going to remove it," I explained calmly.
"Horcrux?" Harry asked, confused.
"That's impossible. We need a professional," McGonagall quickly said, rejecting the idea.
"It's fine, it won't harm Harry. It will just hurt a little," I replied, but Harry spoke before she could.
"Do it," he said with determination.
Without further ado, I hit his forehead. Black smoke began to pour from his scar, accompanied by a high-pitched scream. Harry gritted his teeth, enduring the pain without letting out a single cry.
When it was over, his scar was gone, along with the fragment of Voldemort's soul.
With a flick of my hand, a portal appeared, and from inside, I pulled out the Sorting Hat.
"What's going on, boy? I don't recognize you..." said the hat, but I ignored it and pulled out the Sword of Gryffindor.
"The Sword of Gryffindor! Impossible!" McGonagall exclaimed, surprised.
"Well, Professor, I'm also a Gryffindor," I said with a smile.
"And so am I," Wanda added.
"Here, Harry. Use this sword to destroy every Horcrux, including the snake," I said, pointing to the dark objects.
Harry wasted no time. With anger from all the years of suffering, he began to destroy each of the Horcruxes, while we protected him.
