"Well, if that is all then you can all go." The teen turned, transfiguring a bench out of the nearby rubble, and sat down, allowing the girl to promptly fall onto it next to him.
The adults, and the two remaining champions merely stared in shock, "Y… you're letting us go?"
"Yes."
"Why!?"
Snape fought the urge to murder whatever dumb bastard was trying to argue for them all to be torn to pieces by a fourteen-year-old. Why couldn't they just shut their damn mouths and be grateful?
"Because none of you are a threat to me, and I believe it is obvious now that if you try going after someone I care about the consequences will be… most unpleasant. Thus, I could care less about what happens to any of you. My guess is that you have around three minutes before my godfather finishes breaching your Wards and a group of Aurors, led by Albus Dumbledore, arrive so that gives you all a decent head start. With Voldemort's return being displayed across the world your return will be as well… which means that life will be quite a bit more hectic for most of you in the coming months."
One by one the Dark Lord's followers disappeared, leaving only Malfoy and Snape, along with the four teens.
"My Lord I…"
Harry didn't even bother looking at the man, his gaze now directed onto the blonde Veela, "You should probably clean up those bodies Minister . If your pardons are linked to what happened you will undoubtedly find yourself in Azkaban… and I am finding it difficult to care what befalls you."
The Malfoy Lord visibly flinched, before nodding slightly and departing with the nearby corpses. Snape gave the slightest of nods as well, before Apparating to maintain his own cover.
A minute passed, before Cedric spoke up to break the silence, "You aren't going to get away with it Potter…"
Turning, the raven-haired boy gave the Hufflepuff his attention, along with a curious expression.
" We know the truth. We heard your death threats, felt your dark Magic, watched you let murderers go free… and Malfoy calling you a Lord?"
"You should probably take your shot then." The two male champions blinked in confusion, earning a further elaboration. "In case you aren't aware I just stepped on the most powerful Dark Lord of the last several hundred years like a bug. If you plan on trying to defeat me, now would be your best chance."
Krum gritted his teeth, before putting a hand on Cedric's shoulder and shaking his head. "You are just like the other Dark Lords, and you will fall just the same. Durmstrang will join Hogwarts and unite against you. Fleur will…"
The Bulgarian halted mid speech, watching as the French Witch turned a glare on the two other Champions. "I do not understand why you were chosen for loyalty Cedric. Harry has saved our lives twice now and you turn your back so easily…"
"B-but Fleur… what he has done…"
" What has he done? Killed a Dark Lord? Brought about change to remove bigotry from England? Saved innocent lives, saved our lives!?"
"He is evil . You feel it just like we do Fleur! He slaughtered human beings!" Krum declared gruffly.
"Dark, not evil. Veela are classified as 'Dark Creatures' too. I am tired of being treated as an object to stare at and lust over. Tired of being seen as something less than human…"
She turned back to her lover that still next to her, "Please… I wish you serve you. You saved me, gave me hope when I had none… I want to be with you now and forever. "
Harry smiled, before reaching out and gently rubbing her face, his fingertips brushing against her lips. "So very pretty… but that isn't all is it? Triwizard Champion, Witch, sister… all of these contribute but not one defines you completely." His attention turned back to the growling older boys, "I would highly recommend you waiting a bit before giving Dumbledore your side of what happened."
"Why is that?" the other Hogwarts student snapped, "Planning on wiping our memories?"
"Don't be ridiculous, if I was going to do that I would have already. No, I want no doubt about your mental states, if you go to him immediately, shouting about how I am evil after being kidnapped and held hostage by a Dark Lord they will dismiss you entirely. I want Dumbledore to find out, to begin planning against me. I want a challenge, and with Voldemort dead the defeater of Grindelwald appears to be my only option left for this."
The Wards fell, and a minute later the area was swarmed by Aurors.
