-laughs wickedly- Beautiful and I love the way that would've spiked things before Fourth Year. Methinks that would've changed a lot and that Albus would be most taken aback. If Barty, Jr. had already been set on his path, things could get real interesting when the Cup portkeys him to an empty graveyard.

Heya Cat!
Dunno, man. If he was serious, I’m sure he could have found a way back. It just would have been harder. On the other hand...
Barty: Yeah, that would have been funny.
“Harry? Where are we?”
“Like I’m supposed to know? That was only my second portkety ride!”
“Yeah, you’re right. OK, how do we get back?”
“How about the knight bus?”
“Do we have to?”
“Well, unless you wanna hitch-hike all the way to Scotland…”
Grinnin’ dave.
