Chapter 136 - 136- announcements

Name:Harry Potter But AU??? Author:DAFR
Harry's POV

"So!" said Dumbledore, smiling around yet as usual focusing on the Gryffindor table "Now that we are all fed and watered, I must once more ask for your attention, while I give out a few notices."

As the headmaster continued to tell the rules and news for this year as usual, Harry prepared for an announcement of his own.

"...in announcing that this year at Hogwarts -"

As he was about to announce about the Triwizards tournament, there was a deafening rumble of thunder and the doors of the Great Hall banged open.

Even though he knew who was about to come in through the door, Harry couldn't help but shiver, this man was probably the most dangerous man in the Death Eaters as not only he is as crazy as Bellatrix and knock out the strongest auror in Britain who has an all seeing glass eye, he is also one who can pretend to be the said auror for a year without getting caught- Barty Crouch Jr.

As the in disguise Death Eater walked toward the professor's table Harry once more thought how dangerous would it be this year, not the Triwizard tournament, he had no plan to participate in this game, and even if he was forced to, he had plans to each of the challenges, no, the real danger would be managing to steal the Al seeing eye to see what makes it work.

"Professor Moody." The headmaster introduced the man, and instead of applause there was just quiet, Something that disappeared quickly as chatter took it place

"He has a strange aura on him." Luna whispered to him. "It's like he put another man's skin on top of his own, it is similar to the cannery candies the twins make!"

"Keep your distance from him, I know something is wrong about him." Harry answered

"We should tell the twins also."

"We will."

Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"As I was saying," he said, smiling at the sea of students before him, all of whom were still gazing transfixed at Mad-Eye Moody, "we are to have the honor of hosting a very exciting event over the coming months, an event that has not been held for over a century. It is my very great pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year."

"You're JOKING!" said Fred loudly making Harry snicker as this was the sentence for which Harry hasn't told his friends about it.

"I am not joking, Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore said, "though now that you mention it, I did hear an excellent one over the summer about a troll, a hag, and a leprechaun who all go into a bar."

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly.

"Er - but maybe this is not the time.. . no. . ." said Dumbledore, "where was I? Ah yes, the Triwizard Tournament. . . well, some of you will not know what this tournament involves, so I hope those who do know will forgive me for giving a short explanation, and allow their attention to wander freely."

As the headmaster explain the tournament's history and prizes Harry made the final preparation for his preformence

"The delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be arriving in October and remaining with us for the greater part of this year. I know that you will all extend every courtesy to our foreign guests while they are with us, and will give your whole-hearted support to the Hogwarts champion when he or she is selected. And now, it is late, and I know how important it is to you all to be alert and rested as you enter your lessons tomorrow morning. Bedtime! Chop chop!"

Before anyone could rise from his chaire Harry told GAI to activate the spell.

"JUST A SECOND." A loud voice was heard from the door as the headmaster finished talking, making everybody look to see four ghost-like illusions.

"We have one more announcement." The smile on their leader was charming, even as Ginny Weasley screamed "TOM!" Before fainting.

"For those who don't know us, we are Tommy and his Eaters," the four illusions made their way toward the center, letting the students pass their hands in them as they moved.

"As students who have been here for a couple of years, our group has a few problems with this school," the entire audience seemed focused on the illusions, most looked intrigued, yet he could see a couple that had different expressions on them, number one was the headmaster who looked amused yet had coldness in his eyes.

"We could talk about the defense against the dark teachers, the stuttering fool who had a parasite on his head, the werewolf, the one who had to have a student teach in his place, and of course, the worse of them all, Gilderoy Lockhart."

At that point the illusion of Lucius Malfoy started talking

"Now, we weren't only disappointed about that, the potions class where only Slytherin are taught right, the stupid rivalry between houses, history classes and more."

The illusion of Bellatrix took charge.

"We didn't know what to do, and at some point we stopped caring, until the Weasley twins made their game.

Seeing the school change with one game made us want to change it too!"

It was now that the illusion of Snape took place. "We created those illusions and this band to make a change in this school."

Tommy took charge. "We aren't saying we would cause trouble, we would just, once in a while have a song here to wake this school!

Someone of the songs would be just for fun, and some would be to point specific problems."

The illusion smiled at that point an even bigger smile.

"The next song would be tomorrow evening, don't miss it."

And the illusions vanished.

The conversations people started having made the entire hall be filled with noise, and as he and Luna made sure to converse between each other as to not make it suspicious Daphne came to them.

"I know it's you." She said with a voice filled with anger.

"Me what?" He asked innocently.

"Don't play native, I know you are Tommy."

"Me? I can't sing." That caused her to roll her eyes.

"Just remember we hired you, don't waist time." The questioning look on Luna's face made him remember he didn't tell her about his deal with the Greengrass.

"I have no idea why would you think I am Tommy, but even if I were, it won't hurt the research, especially as you haven't found the two types of blood I need to push forward, nor have you given me the ritual needed to be tinkered with." The look of confusion, now mixed with worry, grew on Luna's face, which meant for Harry that he need to talk to Luna about this.

"You will get one of the bloods soon, as for the other two, it's a little more complicated then this."

"I know." He said grimly, making Harry add another thing to his checklist of this year- capture Nagini or kill her and take her corpse.

By the time they finished their talk the students also finished whispering.

"For our musicians, please come to my office so we can scaduale your performances, good night." After saying his final words the headmaster left quickly, a fuming Snape and Barty Crouch Jr. going with him.

While Harry felt sorry about making Snape part of the band, this was the twins' choice.

Getting up from his chair together with Luna, they quickly left to the room of requirements, where he would explain to her his deal with the Greengrass family.
