'Thoughts'

1. The Tapping on Glass

July 31st 1994

Harry suddenly woke up drenched in sweat, struggling to remember the dream that woke him. The Boy-Who-Lived reached for his glasses on his bedside table putting them on. 'Why do I keep getting these nightmares' Harry thought to himself then quickly looked at his bedroom clock which showed 05:57 he groaned "Why me?!" with a jolt it was his birthday smiling to himself he got up yawning and stretching his arms.

Harry James Potter was no ordinary boy he was a wizard attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the past two years much to the horror of his aunt and uncle who were non-magical's (muggles) who hated his 'freakishness'.

Harry was the spitting image of his father James Potter apart from his Avada Kedavra green eyes which belonged to his mother Lily Potter who were murdered twelve years ago by the Dark Lord Voldemort or You-Know-Who.

A soft tapping from the window brought Harry back to his senses, at the window wasn't an owl as he was expecting it was a noir black Phoenix with blood red eyes with a letter.

Cringing slightly Harry opened the window as quietly as he could without waking his relatives. After dropping the letter onto the bed the phoenix suddenly in a burst of black fire disappeared, looking into the blood red dawn with the letter Harry stared wondering who was writing to him. Upon opening the letter Harry read the contents slowly as his breath rapidly perked up with the contents it held.

To My Beloved Son..

You won't believe me but yes I the Lord Voldemort am your father, no this isn't a joke by the Weasley Twins, I have enclosed your original Birth Certificate. That fateful night I did not want to kill you I merely wanted my son and heir who was stolen back from those who dared to call you their son.

Your name isn't Harry James Potter it is Harrison Gellert Salazar Riddle, Heir to the House of Slytherin and Heir to the dark throne. You have two options: First- stay with the light but be warned if you do I will disinherit you and will consider you my most dangerous enemy and will end your existence ('No surprise there' Harry thought whilst reading) or you could take your rightful place by my right side and will rule over the wizard world. The choice is yours strangley I am proud of your achievements so far and I have enclosed a strong worded letter to Dumbledore or as I call him Dumbledork for a resorting .

I have enclosed your blood inheritance test THESE CANNOT BE FAKED! for proof.

Your Loving Father

'Why does my life have to be so abnormal?!' taking deep calming breathes Harry took out the enclosed parchment it read thus:

Staring at the contents Harry finally realised a key fact his whole life had been a lie! and he wanted answers. Hearing a loud yell from his 'Aunt' to get breakfast ready he trooped downstairs, with certain thoughts rolling around in his head.

Hogwarts

In his office a old man in half moon glasses was sat at his desk with fingers on his temples Albus Dumbledore was worried, a few moments ago one of his silver trinkets had exploded instantly informing him that young Harry now knew of his heritage, he needed to act and fast. Without delay he wrote letters to Molly Weasley, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley.

Satisfied he had covered everything with those in the loop (who knew the truth about Harry) he sent the letters with school owls due to Fawkes missing mysteriously.

All he needed to do was wait and see, after all one needs to mould 'The-Boy-Who-Lived carefully due to the boy in question having the exact same temper as his biological father. But only time will tell if it is all worth the risk for 'The Greater Good'.
