THE TRUTH REVEALED

CHAPTER ONE

SUMMARY: Placed in Harry Potter's Fifth Year, Umbridge finds and reads the books of harry's life to the Great Hall on weekends. Umbridge wants to reveal Harry's 'Lies' for what they are...the Truth, although she does not know it. She ensures her defeat by inviteing the Minister and a few Aurors along...

"The lying, stubborn boy!" Umbridge muttered as she paced her study. "Nothing I do will help! He insists on the lie...You-Know-Who back? Preposterous!" she said to herself. "Why, oh why can nobody see this? Of course, most of the people who do see it are the important ones-Me, the Minister Mr. Malfoy, The Inquisitorial Squad, and many others, but Dumbledore standing up for Harry's story is a bad sign...and many are convinced that if Dumbledore believes it, it must be true!"

Umbridge summoned the Inquisitorial Squad. She had to speak to them. Young Draco arrived first. She was still pacing and muttering, and it was a few moments before she realized he was there. "How to get rid of him?" she muttered, "a way to expose his lies-oh hello, Draco."

"I couldn't help but overhear, Professor, you need something? A way for Potter and, I am sure, Dumbledore to be exposed?" Draco Malfoy asked tentatively. She was terrifying when made angry, and he had no desire to provoke her wrath.

"You have a solution?" Umbridge spun around quickly, and rushed over to Malfoy. "Tell me! I need a way..."

"I am not sure it will work, Professor, but it is still worth a try. You see, on the seventh floor, there is a crazy tapesry of Barnabas the Barny, I think. I am never good with old folks names...anyway, if you pace back and forth and think what you need then..."

"Draco, Draco, this is brilliant! Just what we need!" The rest of the Inquisitorial Squad had arrived soon after Umbridge got back from the Room of Requirement, and she told them what she had found. "Books of Potter's life!" She crowed to them. We will read a few chapters, and find out if they are true, and if so, the rest likely will be. We will reveal him for the liar and attention-seeker he is!"

None of them were particularly fast readers, so the going was slow. She had a member of the Squad read, while she checked records and Floo-called a few people, and owled a few more. After a few chapters sure of positive information, she cried out, "We have a real biography on our hands! Seventy-five points to Slytherin, Draco, for helping me find these books, and fifty more for each of you that participated in the reading and confirmation! We will expose Potter yet! Be ready on Friday after lessons, okay? We will begin reading these books aloud then!

"Hem hem" announced Umbridge, at the end of her class on Friday. "I wish you all to progress to the Great Hall for lunch immediately after putting your bags away," She continued, looking around the classroom with an air of authority "I have an announcement to make. If any of you see Mister Malfoy, tell him to come to my office please."

Draco, who had just been passing looked in and said, "I am wanted, Professor?"

"Yes, yes, Draco. Can you tell the Heads of House to tell their Houses to come to lunch immediately? I have an announcement." she said sweetly.

"Of course!" said Draco, promptly. Draco, who had been afraid he's done something wrong, walked out the door.

"Hem hem" spoke up Umbridge as soon as the school was assembled.

Harry sighed in defeat. "If that's another rediculous Educational Decree," he said in a low voice, "I might just burst." Hermione and Ron nodded in agreement.

"I have found some books, that may shed some light on recent events," continued Umbridge. Dumbledore looked surprised. "They seem to be a biography of Harry Potter up to this date, but not in usual book form. No, it takes the form of a diary-"

"A diary? I don't keep a diary. I had an evil one for a day once, but I didn't make a biography-"

"Shush Harry, listen to Umbridge!" Hermione whispered
"But," Umbridge continued "It also has all Potter's thoughts and feelings, like a window into his head." Harry gulped.

Dumbledore stood. "I will not permit this, Professor Umbridge. If it is, as you say, as a window into his head, it will contain personal things, and-"

"We are trying to get to the truth, Dumbledore!" Returned Umbridge with her nauseating sweet smile. "Does not the truth, especially in a matter as big as this, overshadow one child's embarrassment?"

Harry gagged. "She's going throught with this?" he whispered furiously. "Okay! Harry spoke a bit louder, for the Gryffindor table. "Please take no offense at anything my younger self may have thought, or anything...I want to see exactly how far into my brain this goes," he added, darkly. He would tell his friends from other Houses later...he did not want to embarass himself even more in from of the school saying that, he did not have enough friends in the other Houses to make up for that.

Just then, the Minister of Magic and a few Aurors walked in. "You requested that I come to Hogwarts, Dolores?" He inquired. "Yes," she replied. "I have found a biography of Mr. Potter's life, starting from a few days before he gets his Hogwarts letter, and a few observations from other perspectives. Hem hem" she began. "The first book is called, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

A/N And that is that! The story kicks off, and NO, it is not one of those fictions that just start with a a chapter like this and leave you to imagine the rest. I have had enough of that, and I decided to make my own fic. It will be updated fairly frequently, and, (I hope) be very satisfactory. This is my first fic, so please don't judge too harshly.
