Harry Potter and the Secrets Revealed
Authors Notes: This story is set to take place after Harry's fifth year The Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling. In this story a secret will be revealed to Harry, a secret that will change his life forever. Please join me on my journey into the world of Harry Potter and feel free to leave any suggestions or constructive criticism you may have. And also bear in mind that I do not at this point have a beta reader to nitpick my writing so bear with me if there are any grammatical errors of any sort, thanks and I hope you enjoy.
Introduction
Standing outside the door to Dumbledore's office was Remus Lupin, who had been summoned there as the letter Dumbledore had sent said "to discuss matters that should have been addressed years ago". Lupin stood at the door a good long while, not in any hurry to have the discussion he knew he was about to have. However it seemed that Professor Dumbledore had lost patience in waiting and simply said
"I understand your apprehension Remus, but if you would kindly step into my office it would at least perhaps help us to think this over together."
Lupin opened the door and sat in the seat before Dumbledore's desk "I apologize Albus but this is a rather sensitive matter for me I'm sure you know"
"Ah, yes, as it is for me also Remus, this is a matter that should have been handled years ago I believe, although we will have to see if we made the correct choice now wont we?"
"Yes I suppose we will" Lupin said with a sigh. "How did he contact you?"
"In a most peculiar way if I must say so myself." replied Dumbledore
"What do you mean Albus?"
"Well I have here a letter that you can read for yourself, but the strange part is how the letter got here.."
"I'm assuming that means it did not arrive by owl post then Albus, am I correct?"
"Yes quite correct Remus, the letter did not arrive by owl post, it just simply appeared in front of me when I sat down at my desk this morning, almost as if the letter itself had apparated here."
"That's impossible, no object can be transported like that by magic, not even off Hogwart's grounds where its possible to apparate can the average wizard transport an item like that, in fact the only wizard I know of that has ever been able to transport something quite like that is you Albus. The power to transport it here through the wards must require an amount of magical power that not many have."
"Yes that's very true Remus, he has grown to be very powerful indeed, and now that he has uncovered the truth he has begun searching for more answers."
"I can't believe it, I never believed we would see him again.." Lupin said as he trailed off into thought, "it would appear that he has become quite powerful now wouldn't it?"
"Yes Remus it would appear that he has become very powerful indeed, in fact I am certain that he is even more powerful than myself. I believe it would be best for us to meet with him as soon as possible to answer any questions he has and set him on the right path"
"I wish Sirius were still her" Lupin said feeling a stinging in his eyes as he held back the tears that the memory of his friend brought forth "he would want to be a part of this, and I know it would be easier for us all to have him involved"
"Yes Remus, I wish Sirius was still with us as well, I feel for Harry, loosing the closest thing he had to a father. I hope Remus that you will look after Harry as Sirius did, there was no one closer to his parents that is still with us, and I think he needs that" said Dumbledore gravely
"Yes Headmaster I am planning on doing as much as I can for Harry, I only hope it's enough, loosing Sirius struck him very hard.. and me as well" Remus said while looking at the floor to try to hide the tears now rolling down his cheek.
"No one could do better for Harry than you Remus, you both will be better off going through this together. As hard as it may seem now Remus I want you to keep one thing in mind."
"What's that?" asked Lupin
"That which does not kill you can only make you stronger Remus, you and Harry will get through this, I have no doubt of it."
Not feeling up to the conversation at the moment Lupin decided it was best to change the subject, "Thanks for your support Albus, but back to why you called me here, when are we to meet him?"
"Next week is Harry's birthday and I am allowing him to leave the Dursley's tomorrow evening to go to Arthur and Molly's for the remainder of the summer, I believe that it would be best if we were to meet before Harry's birthday there so Harry can be told as well." Dumbledore sighed and continued "This never should have been kept from him in the first place so I don't see any merit in keeping it from him any longer."
"Yes I agree, its time he's told, and I think it may be best for him to be there with us anyway.. Does it appear from the letter that he has any resentment towards us for doing what we did?"
" I am surprised to say that it does not appear that he has any resentment towards us Remus, but I am sure you're right, having Harry with us can do nothing but help. I only hope that he will decide to stand with us.. a great war is about to be thrust upon us and I believe that he could be our greatest asset in this war." Dumbledore remarked pausing for a moment and the continued, "or he could be our greatest threat"
