Discovery of a past long forgotten

===============================================================

As Harry Potter and his friend Hermione Granger and Ron Wesley walked through the entrance hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was stopped by Professor and Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. (a/n "Alas, Earwax!")

"Please follow me won't you Harry?" he asked. Harry did as he was instructed and followed the Headmaster to his office.

"Are you aware Harry that two weeks ago today Lord Voldemort was captured and executed by a group of aurors working under cover as death eaters?"

"What?!" exclaimed Harry "you're joking, he-he's really gone?"

"Yes" Dumbledore replied. Harry looked up in to the face of his mentor.

"But why hasn't it been made public?"

"It will be," the headmaster assured him "it hasn't been easy to keep it under wraps, but that's not what I brought you up here to tell you. Harry did you know that you have a twin brother."

A silent moment passed between the two.

"Wha…What?" Harry asked, not believing, "But…How come I was never told?" asked the now sixteen-year-old wizard.

"That's just the thing," Dumbledore said with a hint of amusement in his voice, "nobody knew, Voldemort seemed to use a very powerful memory charm on you parents when you were born. He knew how powerful you'd be, along with your twin. He didn't want to be outdone, so he kidnapped your brother to have that power on his side. He tried to kill you a year later, but didn't succeed. Your brother was raised by the Dark Lord himself, sometimes helping him to sustain his life force. We haven't learned much, but from what he has told us, his name is Darious. He is, like you, a very polite boy, and is also seemed unaware that you are his brother. That's all I can tell you for now, you'll meet your brother later. Please go and enjoy the feast. Oh, and Harry, I beg you to keep it between us, but if you must, you can tell Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley. Now, go and feast on the delicious food the house elves have prepared," Dumbledore told Harry. "All will be explained I due time."

Harry walked to the great hall in a state of shock, doubt and elation.

'A brother' he thought, 'it couldn't be true but Dumbledore had told him the news himself, so it must be.'

Harry entered the hall as the last student, Elaine Watowski, was sorted to Ravenclaw to great applause. He sat down next to Ron and Hermione.

"What happened, here did you go." Ron and Hermione both asked in a rush.

"I'll tell you both after dinner at Hagrid's" Harry said in a rush as the golden platters filled with a plethora of delicious food for their consumption

Later that night after Harry finished his story Ron and Hermione seemed to be in the same state as he was. Hagrid as one of Dumbledore's confidants already knew.

Hermione was the first to break the silence. "A brother? But…but how? That must've been a hell of a memory charm to make your parents forget a second son. Your mom was pregnant for nine months! It's not easy to forget delivering a second kid. And think about the nurses, the midwife, everybody!" Hermione was babbling and then plunged into another stunned silence.

"So what are they going to do with him?" Ron asked looking at Hagrid.

Hagrid stared at them and spoke in a hushed voiced, " I'm not sayin this is fur sure but from wa I heard he's to come here and goin ta be put in ta Gryffindor wit you three."

The three friends stayed at Hagrids discussing the issue long in to the night and ended up having to hide from Filch and Mrs. Norris before they got back to the Gryffindor Common Room and went up to their dorms. Harry couldn't fall asleep a spent the time thinking of what his brother could be like.



The next morning Harry a shaken awake by Ron. "Hurry up were going to be late for breakfast"

Hermione was waiting for them in the common and the three immediately hurried down to the Great Hall. As the owls swooped in a tawny owl dropped an envelope in to Harry's lap.



Dear Mr. Potter

I would like to see you and your two friends in my office after breakfast.

Sincerely

Albus Dumbledore
