Darkest Corners

Megan looked at her mother and then giggled. "He's really good with his wand too. I'd bet they'd classify him as a mage with the way he handles it."

Kathleen put her hands over her ears and started saying "LALALALALA". Reginald was thinking the excitement was getting to be too much for his wife and hoped she would make it through the task. If he had known what his wife and daughter were talking about, he would have fainted dead away or else went into the maze after Harry.

As Harry and Cedric came around another corner, all fun and games stopped as they saw Krum had Fleur bound and had ripped her pants off. He was in the process of pulling down his pants when he heard two screams and saw the two Hogwarts student running towards him. Harry and Cedric's wands were out and firing spells before Krum could bring his up to defend himself. Cedric's spell connected with Krum and immediately tied him up in ropes with his pants still around his ankles. Harry didn't even cast toward Krum and Cedric saw why as a crucifixion cross grew out of the ground.

Cedric said "Um...Harry?"

"I don't want to hear it Ced. The bastard's going to pay!"

Harry went over to Fleur and released her from the body bind. He then waved his wand and conjured a robe to protect her modesty. As he helped her off the ground, she started sobbing and wrapped her arms around him. He hugged her back and said "Its okay, you're safe now."

They remained like that for a while before Harry passed her off to Cedric. He then started stalking towards Krum when Cedric said "Are you sure you want to do that Harry?"

"What if it had been Megan or Cho or Luna for that matter? No, he's going to pay for what he did."

Harry cast a sticking charm to the cross before levitating Krum to it. A quick wave of the wand released the body bind and then Harry quickly used two more sticking charms to stick his arms to the cross beam. As he stepped away to finish the deed, he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Not like this Harry. You're not a murderer."

Harry looked away from him and said in a low voice "What about what he did to me? What about what he tried to do to Fleur? Do you still think Mandy was a willing participant at this point?"

Fleur stepped forward and said "I will not have you killing him on my conscience. Just like you couldn't leave me, I won't let you do this. You both showed up before he could do anything except admire my goodies."

The serious moment passed as the three of them snorted at the same time. Harry asked "Goodies?"

Fleur smiled "Well would you prefer I said hoohoo as we do to my little sister or would you prefer the slang versions? I won't let you kill him but he's not going to get off without some scars. Harry, banish his cloak and shirt."

As soon as he did, Fleur's hand glowed for a minute with blue flames and her hand transformed into a fiery claw. She stepped up to Krum and used her talon to carve 'RAPIST' into the flesh of his chest. The flames also had the benefit of cauterizing the cuts as they were made and the scars could not be easily removed.

As soon as she returned to them, Harry asked "What do you want to do?"

"I'm in this thing to the end. He will not make me give up."

Harry chuckled "What about your pants?"

"What about my pants Harry? Do you want to see my goodies too?"

Harry shook his head and called for Dobby, when the little elf appeared, Harry asked "Can you go get Fleur some pants?"

When he nodded Fleur said "Black leather ones lying on my bed."

Once Dobby returned, she shimmied into her pants which both young men tried hard not to look at.

She smirked "Rethinking the whole bonding thing now Harry?"

"Not really but its hard not to appreciate a work of art. I'm just debating whether I would be able to concentrate if I were to take up the rear when we go." Cedric just nodded.

"Merci, but what do you want to do about him?"

"Leave him for everyone to see. If we shoot sparks and they come get him, they'll try to cover the whole thing up."
