[3rd POV]
While Wanda Clone 2 was officially on her way towards the Seven Kingdoms to aid the Dragon Queen in her conquest of her rightful throne, her other counterpart was...having a...different time.

"You know, when I had accepted the History of Magic job, I was not expecting it to also include shit like this" Wanda bluntly said, as she gazed at the incapacitated form of the one and only Barty Crouch Jr that had just been masquerading as Alastor Moody.
The man had been using a potion known as the "Polyjuice" to warp himself into that form, and she had dealt with him...quickly.
Thankfully she had not really wasted time regarding when she had knocked the man out, and had done so only a few weeks into the school year, after Harry had already been chosen as the fourth champion, thanks to the machinations of Voldemort and the rest of the Death Eaters.
Mostly Peter Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr, as the two of them were the only ones that were still truly capable of helping the Dark Lord return. But Peter was weak and pitiful, not to mention stupid. He was also well known by those that serve the light as someone who has betrayed the Potters.
Barty Crouch Jr was far less known as many thought he was dead, or gone. But here he was, unconscious below her as she wondered what to do with him.
He had attempted to off her after she had openly shown her magical skill, and the fact that she had been teaching many many different areas of history had caught his attention. One of the ones that really contributed to his decision to attempt to kill her, was the fact that she had done a few classes on Dark Lords.
These classes had been about explaining the history of a ton of the dark lords, what they were known for, their titles, their power, and even their backgrounds.
When she had eventually gotten to Voldemort, she had pretty much labeled him as the weakest and least influential Dark Lord in history. That had caused the reactions she had been expecting of course.
Mostly because the Dark Lord was feared, but what the children did not understand was that Voldemort was only feared in Britain, and that was it. There was not a single other country that feared him.
Not like the other true dark lords.
Morgana?
She terrified all of Europe thanks to her untouchable might in Dark Curses, and even parts of Asia and Africa.
Salazar?
He terrified all those that dared harm magical folk, and had slaughtered many muggles that had harmed them out of malice and hatred.
Grindelwald?
He had scared the entire world thanks to his actions. With wizards from all over the world working together to attempt to defeat him.
And possibly the most feared of them all.
Herpo the Foul.
The man that had created the Horcruxes in the first place. The man that had created the basilisks. The man that had even (much to her interest) created the Boggarts, the Dementors, and several other dark creatures that caused terror and death upon many.
He had scared the entirety of Europe, Asia, and Africa thanks to his actions. And had caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands thanks to him creating massive diseases that had infected many.
Basically, he was a monster that had caused untold deaths.
But he was dead now, fully dead. Thanks to Wanda Clone 1 finding that out with a bit of her own magic. So they didn't need to worry about some super powerful dark lord coming back from the dead. As none of them wanted to deal with an entity of that level of power.
He would single handedly decimate Dumbledore and Voldemort in battle. Neither of them even remotely were close to Herp the Foul. The man was barely known in terms of strength, but he was truly monstrously strong.
The amount of curses, rituals, and other spells that he had created was immense. One such group of spells (besides the creatures that he ended up making) was the three unforgivables. Crucio, Avada Kedavra, and of course, the Imperius.
Each of them were incredibly dangerous, and were still well known to this day. Used by dark wizards around the world, and killed tens of thousands every single year thanks to them.
Wanda did not like Herpo the Foul, even though she did have to admit that she liked his spells since they were true masterworks.
Looking at Barty Crouch Jr, Wanda turned to Dumbledore who was also staring down at the man. His eyes were full of thought and was not even registering what she was saying whatsoever.
"Dumbledore?" Wanda said again, knowing that the man before her was not one of those evil versions of Dumbledore, but was actually just an old man that was much too old to have so many stressful situations forced upon him.
He deserved to just live in peace without having to deal with the likes of Voldemort, the Death Eaters, Hogwarts, Prophecy, and the Minister of Magic themselves.
"Ah, apologies Miss Maximoff. I believe it would be best that we bring Mr Crouch here to my office while I get into contact with Madam Bones. We can figure out what to do after she arrives" The old man said in response, as Wanda hummed.
"And what are we to do about the tournament? You know that if Barty is here, then that must mean that he was the one to put Harry's name in the Goblet. It just reeks of Voldemort's influence" Wanda asked, already knowing he was involved.
She doubted there would be much to even bring back, considering she had left only a single piece of his soul. He'd be pretty damn weak when he comes back, and nothing but a shadow of his former self.
But she also understood that she needed to let him come back for a number of reasons. For one it is because of the fact that there was a prophecy. And while she was able to effortlessly break it, it was better to let it run its course.
She wanted for the "Golden Trio" (Harry, Ron, Hermione) to develop on their own, so that they do not become reliant on others or anything like that. So that they become strong, and capable of becoming something greater.
"...I suppose that is true. But we cannot stop the tournament now that it has started, Miss Maximoff. The magical contract is already underway, and should it be broken, all four champions will lose their magic" Dumbledore responded, also not very pleased that it was still happening.
"Yes I know. But we might as well develop a few...countermeasures, to ensure that things are safe. You know, anti-portkey wards, anti-apparition wards, stuff like that. To ensure that nobody can enter the grounds or try to whisk Harry away from the grounds" Wanda said, as the man hummed in contemplation upon hearing her idea.
"That is a sound idea. I'll have to make sure that these wards will not interfere with the wards around Hogwarts, but I am quite confident that they will not"
"Then really it's just the Ministry that might cause us some issues" Wanda said, as the man let out a sigh.
"Yes, that is most likely the case. As sadly, the minister is under the belief that Voldemort will never return. Even when I have shown him all the evidence that I have" Dumbledore said, obviously rather irritated with Fudge. But he also knew that there really wasn't anything he could do.
Not when he had the likes of Lucius Malfoy and Umbridge whispering in his ears. The two of them were a giant issue, one that Wanda planned on dealing with Mostly Umbridge, as she despised those that abuse children.
So Umbridge would be dying soon, that much was absolutely certain.
"I'm sure we can find a way of dealing with things. At the very least I'm sure that Bones will support us on this one. That woman dislikes Fudge's way of doing things. Only reasons she's not in power is because of Lucius" Wanda replied, knowing that Amelia Bones was a great leader, and would be a good person to have as Minister.
She would have to help with that part, as well as ensure the woman does not die. Susan Bones was one of her favorite students after all.
Dumbledore just nodded slowly as the body of Barty floated up, as he began to walk off with Barty Crouch Jr, all the while, Wanda had only one thought on her mind.
'I wonder what my main body is up to?'
