AN: The 1st two chapters were by saffarinda, I just adopted this. My updates may not be regular, I am terribly sorry.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, nor did I write the Darkness Within.
Dolores Umbridge sat in her pink palace (her office) scratching her hard jaw with one stubby finger. 'What I need, is a plan to corrupt the Potter boy and his so-called friends' Dolores sneered to herself; just thinking about that Potter boy just bristled her. She would try to punish him, but with a father as an Auror and a mother as the potions professor, Dolores couldn't punish him without the boy running to his parents, whining, and getting her demoted from Senior under-secretary to a place where the closest they come to seeing minister fudge is-
She was cut off from her musings by a blinding bright flash and a heavy thunk. Blinking furiously, Dolores attempted to wave the light away whilst screaming in a toady voice for the light to disappear.
Only a few seconds later, the light evaporated; leaving three thick books on her table and a note which was a dark, Slytherin green and the handwriting on it was a beautiful silver (not as beautiful as pink though, Dolores thought). Picking up the note, Dolores read the elegant handwriting...
Dear Dolores Umbridge,
I have heard about you troubles with Damian Potter in passing and have decided to write to you to help you unravel some secrets.
These secrets; however are not about , but will tarnish the Potter reputation for life. These three books have factual information about James and Lily Potter's eldest son Harry Potter who the world believes to be dead; yet he is alive and hiding a dark secret.
With the knowledge of these books, you could not only get dirt on Damian Potter, but possibly save the world and become and even higher place in the ministry. These books are all placed in the future, so it is your decision as whether to read on.
It is your choice Dolores, the consequences fall into your hands. Signing the end of the note performs a binding contract where all of the matters are taken into yours hands; if you deny them after signing, you will be stripped of your powers and will forget about the Wizarding World. The choice is yours.
Signed,
Anonymous

Dolores smirked, and picked up the first book. On the cover was a masked person with a wand held out. At the top of the book if elegant letters it read The Darkness Within yet there was no author.
Without thinking about the consequences, Dolores picked up her flamingo pink quill and dipped the nib into neon pink ink. She signed it with a flourish and allowed the golden light to perform a circle around her.
Retrieving her wand, she pointed it at her neck and announced "Sonorous. All staff and students please make their way to the Great Hall for an exciting announcement" Grinning with glee, she didn't notice the blonde haired, brown eyed face that faded into the office, but evaporated in merely seconds...
"Ugh, what does she want now," twelve year old Damian Potter complained to his friends Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley.
"Dunno, let's go see what The Toad wants," groaned Ron, standing up and stretching. He was followed by the other three people and they trudged towards the hall, all but Hermione whose posture remained upright and straight clearly stating IMPORTANT!
As they entered the hall they immediately knew something was wrong. The first clue was the fact that James Potter was they're scowling with all of the order members wearing either the same facial expressions as James or keeping their faces neutral.
The second clue was the fact that Dolores Umbitch was clutching three books in her stubby fingers with a mask of glee covering her face. More students entered, chatting casually or grumbling angrily.
"Hem, hem," Dolores coughed drawing her attention for many different reasons which would require the worlds amount of pink paper to write them, "Well, whilst in my office, I came across some interesting books which will help to tell the future. These books have the time period of over the next three years, I have taken it upon liberty to invite some guests such as Cornelius Fudge and many qualified Aurors and Ministry members. Now who would like to begin?" Dolores asked with a high-pitched girlish voice, strangely enough, everyone seemed interested in the books, so Albus Dumbledore stood up and offered to read.
James Potter sat next to his wife, the Aurors were in a huddle standing up and waiting impatiently. Ministry members looked towards Dumbledore with interest and Madame Bones was stationed at the end of the table with a peacock quill in her hand, which provided ink naturally, and some official Ministry notepaper.
The rest of Hogwarts waited patiently for Dolores to begin...
