Kai Romanoff

36

" I remember when I met you lot. Biggest bunch of misfits I've ever met. Then of course Kai joined you're group. Never seen someone fit so well with such a tight knitted group before." Hagrid told them as they walked through the Forrest.
" We're still a bunch of misfits." Ron said.
" Yeah well at least we have each other. And now Harry and Kai will be the youngest Tri-Wizard champions in history." Hagrid smiled.

Kai looked over at Harry and saw him lingering on some trees. She followed his stare and instantly got a horrible feeling in her stomach.
" There's something over there." Kai whispered.
Harry looked at her and noticed she being so serious. They started drifting off from the group. They looked around a tree and saw a pair of shoes.

" Oh god." Kai said as they got closer and just as she thought it was body.
" Mr. Crouch?" Harry asked.
Kai bent down and grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse.
" Is he-" Harry started.
Kai nodded.

Late that night Kai snuck around the castle following the Marauders map to where Harry was. She hadn't seen him since earlier that day. She knew he was going to shower, change then talk to Dumbledore. She couldn't wait till tomorrow morning to find out what Dumbledore told him.

Kai saw that Harry was walking down the hallway near her. She kept heading straight for him till she heard footsteps approaching. Kai looked up just as Harry turned the corner to the corridor she was at.

" Kai?" Harry asked walking towards her.
" Hey." Kai said meeting him halfway.
" What are you doing here?" Harry asked.
" What did Dumbledore say?" Kai asked cutting to the chase.
" Kai you won't believe what happened." Harry said taking her hand and started walking back down the hallway.

" What happened?" Kai asked as she folded the map and placed it in her jacket pocket.
" I saw one of Dumbledore's memories from years ago. Karkaroff was in it, he was giving the Ministry names of deatheaters in exchange for his freedom. And one of the names he gave was Barty Crouch Jr." Harry told her.
" Just like Sirius said." Kai said.
" Yes, but it gets worse. You know the dreams I've been having of Voldemort and Wormtail?" Harry asked.

" Yeah." Kai nodded.
" The third man in my dream is him. It's Barty Crouch Jr." Harry told her.
" So you're having dreams of a man you never met and now his father who sent him to Azkaban turns up dead? That doesn't seem like a coincidence." Kai told him.
" Dumbledore told me not to linger on the dreams." Harry told her.

" Haz, I don't think their dreams. You said you've never seen Jr before you're dreams right?" Kai asked.
" Yeah so?" Harry asked.
" Harry, our brains cannot make up faces. When we dream and see people it's people we've seen before in real life. There's no way you're subconscious could have just put him in your mind." Kai explained.
" So what are you saying?" Harty asked.

" I'm saying I think you're dreams are actually visions. And you had a vision of Voldemort telling Barty to come and get you. And now Barty Crouch Senior is dead. He's here, he's at Hogwarts." Kai told him.
" You really think so?" Harry asked.
" It's the only plausible explanation." Kai nodded.

Harry opened his mouth to say something but closed it when they heard arguing behind a door they were about to pass.
" It's a sign Severus! You know it as well as I!" Karkaroff's voice shouted.
" Snape was also a deatheater." Harry whispered to Kai.
Kai's mouth dropped opened as the door opened.

Igor pulled down his sleeve and walked out of the closet. Harry started pulling Kai away.
" Potter! Romanoff! What's your hurry?" Snape asked.
Kai sighed and they turned around back to him.
" Congratulations, your twos performance at the black lake was inspiring." Snape told them.
" Thank you Professor. I am quite an inspiration." Kai nodded.

" Curious how you used the bubble head charm without learning it in class Miss Romanoff." Snape said.
" Yeah, guess I'm finally getting a hang of this magic stuff eh?" Kai smirked.
" Mister Potter, you used Gillyweed correct?" Snape asked.
" Yeah so?" Harry asked.

" Rare herb gillyweed. Not something found in an everyday garden. Nor is this." Snape grabbed a bottle from one of the shelves in the closet.
He held it up to their faces.
" Know what it is?" Snape asked.
" Bubble juice sir?" Harry guessed.
" Uh water." Kai suggested.
" No, it's a truth telling potion. One drop of this and you-know-who himself would reveal his deepest and darkest secrets. The use of it on a student is regretfully forbidden. But if you ever steal from my personal collection again my hand might just slip over you're morning pumpkin juice." Snape told them.

" I haven't stolen anything." Harry defended.
" Don't lie to me. Gillyweed is one thing but some other things have been missing from my collection recently as well. You and friends and brewing polyjuice potion and believe me I will find out why." Snape told them before slamming the door in their faces.
" What's polyjuice potion?" Kai asked.
" A potion that can turn another person appearance into someone else's for an extended amount of time. Depending on how much you have." Harry explained.

" Why would he think we're brewing that?" Kai asked as they continued walking.
" Well back in second year-" Harry started.
" You've used it!" Kai asked impressed.
" Yeah to see if Draco knew anything about the heir of Slytherin." Harry told her.
" The heir of Slytherin?" Kai asked.
" It's a really long story. But uh every thing turned out fine so." Harry said.

" I bet Hermione really yelled at y'all after she found out about that." Kai said.
" She's was the one that thought of it and she brewed the potion in the abandoned girls bathroom up stairs." Harry told her.
" She what?! Oh I'm so bringing that up." Kai laughed.
