Harry's bit of Voldy (apologies to Snow)

Lazily floating along in her little boat accepting that there must be 
small leaks somewhere in her vestal, but just can't seem to find the 
source, for every once in a while the boat seemed to take in water. 
As the captain peered out onto the calm blue waters pondering the 
reason her boat was wet on the inside, despite the fact there didn't 
seem to be a hole of any kind, she spied an inner tube from an old 
tire approaching, and yes there seemed to be a person clinging to it, 
she thought to herself. I wonder if she would like to board my small 
but rather sound vestal even though it has a superficial leak at the 
moment. But as the captain neared the inner tube to get a better 
look, her own boat started to rock as if she had been hit by 
something. No, she wasn't hit but it came close enough to rock the 
small vestal causing a small intake of water. It appeared the source 
of the blow was coming from the inner tube. Aha the captain said I do 
not have a leak at all! But it does appear the person in that inner 
tube is trying to sink my small ship by rocking her hard enough to 
tip her over. Who is it though
oh that isn't a person; it seems to be 
some type of remote control device attached to the side of the inner 
tube. The captain questioningly looking around for the devises 
controller and spied Dung at the high water mark off shore.

Dungrollin:

I know, that's what I meant, sorry for not being very clear... I was
trying to anticipate the argument that Crouch Jnr, being a creep,
would have given Voldy credit for things that Wormtail did under
orders, but after all the "my master did this" and "my master did
that" he doesn't try to give credit to Voldy for capturing Moody, he
says "Wormtail and I did it."

So when Crouch says "My father was placed under the Imperius curse
*by my master*", I don't see any reason to think that it was anybody
other than Voldy!baby holding the wand. Wormtail and Voldy arrive at
the Crouch house after the Quidditch World Cup and before Moody is
captured, and there is no mention of Harry's scar hurting at this
time.


Snow:

I think you have a valid point that if this is the scenario that 
actually played out and, of course, we didn't see Harry having a 
problem with his scar at all during that period, you are right and my 
ship has sunk. But (you knew that was coming, right?) I would have to 
believe what Crouch Jr. said under Veritaserum and I'm not quite sure 
I want to believe everything is, as it seems with his statements. It 
very well may be but I have to consider the source, and his master, 
even under Veritaserum, which was the only time that we have seen the 
effect and don't have anything to compare it to. It would also be an 
assumption that the Veritaserum was real if you believe Snape as a 
good guy (still up on the fence on that one but leaning to good), 
which we also do not know for certain. 

There are so many other variables that could affect the believability 
of any one character. Junior, who was under orders from Voldemort to 
set up the kidnapping and realistically could have been caught so, 
therefore, may have had some protection from giving actual true 
statements, even under Veritaserum; that is brewed by former 
deatheater Snape. 

It is like the set-up in GOF where we are told that Crouch Jr. died 
in Azkaban, no one suspected him because they read canon as a given. 
Some people still are not convinced that Jr. was a deatheater when he 
was first imprisoned. I am totally uncertain about this character 
that was said to be good and got 12 owls but turned bad and tortured 
the Longbottoms; he was supposedly dead but turned out to be alive; 
he was supposedly sole sucked by the dementors but the dementors are 
allies to Voldemort, was he really kissed? Voldemort speaks of Crouch 
in the graveyard as his loyal servant who will be honored; do you 
think that it could be at all possible that Crouch Jr. is still 
alive? 

There are just too many variables to believe in this particular 
instance for me to take down my sail, go to shore and burn my boat. 
At least for now.  


Dungrollin:

Such a handsome little boat... Dungrollin fires the canon and waits
to see whether it will hit, miss or be deflected in mid-air by
Snow's canon...

Snow:
Yes, she is a rather sweet vestal isn't she
though most defiantly has 
taken in a bit of water due to the rocking affect from that last hit 
but her captain is making an admiral attempt at stabilizing her 
although will be unable to use her canon to fire with until the next 
refill of bombs sometime in July! 


Thanks, Dung!
