The Truth

by Dreamer2008

The rating is so that I'm safe, Remus Lupin is on a trip, trying to help Harry find a way to thwart Voldemort, when he runs into an old school friend. Could she be the trick to help Harry thwart the dark lord once and for all or is Harry rightly wary

1. Introduction

Often time's visions and stories of werewolves, dark lords, shape shifters, beautiful young women, and death aren't always what they seem. It started in 1946, Northern Scotland when the wrong person was expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The wrong monster was sent into exile and terror that lied in the very hollow, dank, dark places of the castle was allowed to live on in sleep and bide its time until the heir to Salazar Slytherin, the pureblood from Fen and banished Hogwarts cofounder, could return to release the repulsive and deadly creature within, Slytherin as cunning and as sly as his mascot, the snake, left not a gene from his successor. Tom Marvolo Riddle, an orphan, half muggle half wizard, all evil, and full of vengeance. Tom was an over achiever, no one would have expected the head boy and magical prodigy to one day become the most feared wizard in all of the world...Except Albus Dumbledore. Only he could see the fires of hell burning in Tom's eyes as he designed a new name for himself and a new body to become, Voldemort, immortal and determined to destroy the muggle and magical world he went through several transformations as to be beyond recognizable to his former self. Not a person dared to speak his name aloud. All the powers of the Ministry, all the best aurors were no match against the dark lord who had an army of thousands, his only true "family". It wasn't until 1985 that the unthinkable but hoped for deed could be done and by the most unlikeliest of all people, little Harry Potter, barely a year old and son of Lily and James Potter murdered mercilessly by the dark lord Voldemort, vanquished the dark lord with nothing more than a lightning bolt scratch on his forehead, little did Harry know that because of a deed he did not intend to do he would become famous for "killing" Voldemort and his scar would be both a blessing and a curse in many ways. Harry James Potter as he was named was left on the door step of Number Four Privet Drive where lived his terrible Aunt Petunia, on Lily's side, Uncle Vernon, and piggish cousin Dudley Dursley. Poor Harry was neglected and emotionally battered by his relatives and he knew that somehow he didn't belong with them until on his 11th birthday he was taken away from his aunt and uncle for a while and the truth of his famous name and parent's disastrous and tragic end became known to him. Harry Potter was the boy who lived. For six years Harry and his friends thwarted the plans of the dark lord but it was in Harry's fourth year when the terror of Lord Voldemort had returned during the tri-wizard tournament Harry had been selected from the Goblet of Fire as the fourth wizard in the tournament. An outstanding phenomenon as he was too young to even enter but that years defense against the dark arts professor was not entirely who he seemed to be. Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody had been knocked out and locked in his trunk by Barty Crouch Jr., the estranged son of Ministry worker, Barty Crouch. Harry had been branded a fool and his sanity was in question, as people of the world doubted the return of the most powerful and dangerous wizard known to king or beast. Although no one would believe him Harry knew he had seen the Dark Lord regain his body and his powers not to mention the drive to destroy. In Harry's fifth year the prophecy of the dark lord was uncovered and almost fell into the wrong hands, Voldemort's and his allegiance of followers dubbed, Death Eaters. The prophecy reads,

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...."

Still no one is sure what this prophecy means and Harry still has much to learn about his past and while I know not of Harry's sixth year except that because of the untimely death of his God father and friend, Sirius Black, he had a really tough time completing his assignments but was diligent on concocting a plan to destroy he-who-must-not-be-named but he always comes out missing something important...which is where our story begins.
