Cruciatus Cursed by Moony 62442

Summary: Everything in life has a “what if?”

What if Voldemort didn’t try to kill Harry in the Atrium of the Ministry of Magic? What if he used the Cruciatus curse instead? What if Dumbledore didn’t come to the rescue until ten minutes after the curse had been executed? And what if Harry had been held under said curse for all ten minutes?

All the answers and more lie ahead…

Slightly AU as it is an alternate ending for Order of the Phoenix. Check out info. on this story on my profile!

1. Cursed by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1001 words)
Hello, everyone. This is my first submitted fic, so I hope you enjoy it. Let me just say that all of the recognizable Harry Potter subjects and characters belong to Mrs. J.K. Rowling, not myself. Please review if you have a moment. Thank you so much!

2. Discoveries by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1243 words)
Hello again! Here is chapter two and I hope you enjoy it. As always, none of the recognizable stuff is mine… it’s Jo’s… darn… Anyway, please review and now, on with the story!

3. To Lose and Find Anew by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1312 words)
Here we are, chapter three. As usual, I owe it all to JKR… except maybe the storyline; that is actually mine! So, I hope you enjoy and please review!

4. New Bonds and Old Faces by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1345 words)
*Fanfare* Chapter four, everyone! As I would rather not be faced with a lawsuit, anything you recognize from the HP books is not mine. And I don’t have the kind of money to buy it from JKR. What you don’t recognize, on the other hand, is mine and I hope you enjoy it! Please review as well.

5. Missing by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1485 words)
Alright, guys, here’s chapter five! Again, not mine; JKR’s. I left you with a pretty gruesome cliffie, so I doubt anyone’s reading this A/N. Therefore, on with the show-er-story… yeah, that’s about right. Please review!

6. Confusion and Concern by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1204 words)
Hello again! Here is my gift to you: chapter six! As always, I am but a humble writer using the brilliant subjects and characters of Jo Rowling. So, in other words: I own nothing! Zip! Zilch! NADA! Too bad for me… Now, read on and review, please!

7. False Memories by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1456 words)
Ta da! I give you chapter seven, everyone! I think you know by now that nothing you recognize is mine. It’s Jo’s (because I’m never that lucky!). So, enjoy and review, please!

8. News by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1865 words)
Welcome to chapter eight. Please keep your limbs inside the chapter at all times and give all credit for recognizable stuff to Mrs. J.K. Rowling. Thank you and enjoy the ride!

9. Agreements and Spies by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1656 words)
Congratulations! You have made it to chapter nine! For those of you who were reading before this was deleted, here is the first chapter you haven’t read yet! I know; it’s like a dream come true, isn’t it? ; ) It is all Jo’s as I am broke and therefore cannot buy the rights to Harry Potter from her… darnit… Ah, well. Please review and enjoy the chapter!

10. Initiation by Moony 62442 [ - ] (2204 words)
Well, here we are again. You have made it to chapter ten! Excellent! As always, everything but the ideas for this story are JKR’s. Read on, dear friends, read on.

11. Training by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1564 words)
Hellooooooooo, Potterfans! I guess I should start with congratulations to all of you as you were patient enough to make it this far! Thanks and kudos to you! As always, anything you recognize from the beloved Harry Potter series is the wonderful JK Rowling’s, not mine. I’m just borrowing her world for a few hours of fun! Anyway, read on, friends, and please review! Oh, and sorry it took so long. Real life is not being nice to me at the moment.

12. The Dark Arts by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1646 words)
Can you believe it? We are already at chapter twelve! Wow… Well, as JKR owns it all (except my plot!), anything you recognize from the novel itself is hers. So, without further ado, here is chapter twelve!

13. Last Moments to Dooms Day by Moony 62442 [ - ] (1305 words)
Alright, so we have established the fact that I own nothing that you recognise to be JKR’s, so let’s just skip that part. This chapter has given me quite a bit of trouble, which is why I am finally writing it after a four month hiatus. I guess I was lucky I had the other chapters already done or you wouldn’t have seen much of this story lately! Without further ado, my friends, I give you chapter thirteen!

14. The Breaking Point by Moony 62442 [ - ] (3983 words)
A/N
Alright, in a mad dash for the end of this story as well as a sudden burst of creativity, I have been right on top of this chapter! As always, I own nothing but what you don’t recognise. If I did, I would probably be out blowing all that money instead of sitting on the computer entertaining you all. If this can be called entertainment… Anyway, this is a long one, so I hope you enjoy it and please leave a review!

15. Returns by Moony 62442 [ - ] (2221 words)
We have established the fact that my creativity only reaches as far as what you do not recognise, and that Miss Rowling is responsible for what you do. Now, that being said…

We are near the end now, my friends: this is the second chapter from the end! Enjoy!

16. A Burden to Bear by Moony 62442 [ - ] (4286 words)
It is all Miss Rowling’s; I am simply playing in her sandbox for a bit.

Here it is, everyone: I give you the finale.
