Truths Revealed

Chapter 1

Harry Potter woke up tangled in his sheets on the floor. He untangled himself and wiped off the sweat that had formed on his face. He stood up and walked around his familiar room. The walls and sheets were red and gold, Gryffindor colors. His toy box held all of his quidditch toys and his dresser had all the rest that couldn't fit in the box. Harry sighed at the site. He never liked his things. Red and gold were his least favorite colors and he didn't like quidditch very much. His mother and father did. They both hoped for him to be in Gryffindor when he went to Hogwarts and become a seeker like his father. He didn't know if he would be able to please his parents though. Harry went back to his bed and crawled under the covers. He fell asleep instantly.

When he woke up the next day he quickly dressed into some jeans and a white t-shirt, put his glasses on, and headed downstairs for breakfast. He saw his mother, Lily Potter, making pancakes.

"Hi, Mommy. Are the pancakes almost ready? I'm starving!"

Lilly turned to look at her son, "Yes, just a couple more minutes. Why don't you go get your dad from outside? He should be in the shed."

Harry opened the sliding door that led outside and headed a little bit into the woods behind his house. They lived in the muggle world and Harry's father worked on his potions in the shed. When he came to the rickety old shed a small amount of smoke was coming out of a window. He entered and saw his father stirring a purplish liquid in a fairly large cauldron.

"Whatcha making, Daddy?"

"Strengthening potion. I can teach ya later if you'd like. I suspect your mother asked you to come get me for it."

"Yep. She's made pancakes."

"Your mother, a talented cook she is. Come on now. I need to let the potion settle for a bit anyway."

The two walked out of the shed together and walked through the small amount of woods.

"Harry."

"Did you say something, Daddy?"

James looked at his son with a quizzical look, "No, your mind must be playing games with you."

Right before they got out of the woods Harry heard it again, "Harry."

"What is it, Daddy?"

James looked at Harry again but didn't say anything. When they walked into the house they instantly smelled sweet maple syrup and pancakes. Harry licked his lips.

"Mommy, it smells SO good!" Harry hopped up onto a tall stool and watched as Lily placed a fairly large pancake on his plate and drizzled it with syrup and powdered sugar. He immediately dug in.

"Lily, Dumbledore is holding another meeting today. We'll have to leave right after I bottle up my potion. He says it's urgent."

"With the way things have become I suspect we'll have to go into hiding soon."

Harry looked up from his eating. "Hide? Why do we have to hide? Are bad people after us?"

"Yes, son. Remember the bad man whom we cannot speak of?"

"You mean, Voldermort?" Lily and James winced at the name.

"Yes, but please don't say his name. Are you done eating?"

Harry looked at his empty plate and nodded. He got off his chair and went to wash his hands. His mother and father sat down to eat.

"When do you think we should tell him?" Lily asked.

"We can't just tell him, Lily. Think of what he'll think of us. Think of what will happen if we do tell him."

"At least give him his necklace back. We can just say it'll protect him from spells."

"I don't want to lie to him."

"Lie to him? We've been lying to him his whole life, James! One more isn't really going to make a difference."

"Fine, I'll give it to him today. I'll go get it now." James left and passed Harry on the way. He never saw him and he didn't know that he had listened to his every word.

Lying? Mommy and Daddy have been lying? How could they! They've been nice to me my whole life and it's never seemed as if they'd lied once. I might not like red and gold or quidditch, but that isn't a very big problem. This is.

Harry waited a few minutes and came into the kitchen. Lily was putting dishes in the sink. Harry passed her unnoticed and went into the living room. He went to the window and looked out. Across the road he saw his muggle friend, Simon, playing catch with his dad.

I bet Simon's dad doesn't lie to him. I wish I had a different daddy.

Another sigh slipped from his mouth because of his parents. The day just became more and more horrible and it wasn't even close to being noon. He heard the sliding door to the backyard open and close. He figured his father was going to bottle up the potion. He went back into the kitchen and saw his mother holding onto a flat black box.

"Mommy? Whatcha doin'?"

Lily looked up; her eyes were glassy as if she was about to cry. She handed Harry the box.

"This is for you. It's a birthday present."

"I won't turn six until June. It's March."

She smiled slightly. "You're right. We just couldn't wait to give it to you. Don't open it until we get to Sirius's house."

"You mean Uncle Sirius."

"Yes, Uncle Sirius." Harry knew Sirius wasn't his real uncle, but he only had one aunt and they never visited her.

James came into the house with a small box of glass bottles full of the strengthening potion. He put them under the sink and went to the closet to get their cloaks. James's was royal blue, Lily's deep purple, and Harry's was, of course, red.

They went outside in their backyard and headed into the woods. There was a tunnel that led straight to Sirius's house deep in the woods.

Harry's hands were tightly wrapped around the box. He knew a necklace was in it, but he didn't remember even owning a necklace before. He shrugged it off.

When they got to the entrance of the tunnel James took out his wand and pointed to a rock. A set of stairs that led deep under ground appeared in front of them. Lily went first, then Harry, with James in the rear. Flames immediately appeared on torches a few feet before they reached them. They made the long dirt tunnel seemed like it would never end. After they walked about a mile James was carrying Harry. They knew it would be quicker if they went by Floo powder, but they didn't want to get caught in the morning rush.

They reached the end of the tunnel after about ten minutes. When they went up the stairs they were right behind Sirius's house. They entered the back door and saw Sirius, Remus, and Dumbledore talking around a table.

"Why don't you go on upstairs and open your present? Mommy and I need to talk to Uncle Sirius, Remus and Dumbledore." James set Harry down and he walked out of the room. He didn't immediately go upstairs though, he stuck close to the doorway.

"What is it, Albus?" Lily asked.

"There's been another attack. Twelve children were killed. He's getting close too. I think it's a good idea to go into hiding now."

Lily sat down and put her hand to her head. "Why does this have to happen to us? Why did they make that stupid law back then anyway?"

"The ministry wasn't the best five years ago, and when the law was abolished they thought everybody's minds were erased. It'll be okay though. We can find you a very remote area and I promise Harry will be perfectly fine when he comes to Hogwarts."

Harry's mouth hung open. He was only five, but he was smart enough to put things together. His mom and dad had told him about the separation of half bloods, muggleborns, and their children, but they swore he wasn't one of them. He had believed them too because he never thought of them as liars before. He was making his head hurt so he went upstairs to open his present.

He went into the upstairs sitting room and sat on the large black couch. He looked at the small black box and took a deep breath. He opened it and smiled at the sight. It was a small green emerald. He took it out and slipped the long chain around his neck. It went all the way down to his belly button. He didn't care; he just put it under his shirt.

When he started to leave though the emerald glowed. Even though both of the windows from the room were closed a strong breeze blew into the room. Harry shivered and turned around.
