Chapter 3. The stage of the unsaid

Lupin had brought Dumbledore's pensive with him for Harry. Harry had put it in the study in a special compartment and locked it up. Lupin left a little bit after that, said Tonks was waiting for him. They had gotten married over the summer. A small wedding at Grimmald place. Harry couldn't go, he had to stay at the Dursley's. Bill And Fleur had also gotten married over the summer but in the hospital wing at St. Mungos. Bill would be slightly disfigured the rest of his life but was recovering quite well, he would be leaving the hospital soon, after the full moon.

The first time Harry went into Dumbledore's pensive, he realized something. All of Dumbledore's memories were there, not just a few from the past but all. Harry was thrown into a scene, were Snape was in Dumbledore's office talking to him, in very serious terms.

"Dumbledore, I've done something."

"What is that Serverus?"

"I made an unbreakable vow with Mrs. Malfoy."

" What was that?"

"That Draco has been giving a task to kill you and if he should fail that I will for him."

Dumbledore didn't react in the way Harry thought he would, he sat there contemplating the situation. "Draco is the key to this Severus"

"Draco is just a boy, Dumbledore!"

"Don't underestimate the minds of children Severus"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, that right now I know I will die by the end of the school year, but what I need you to know it has to be from you."

"What?"

"Draco can not kill me Snape, that would mean he would be gone for good."

"How do you know Draco will have doubts about it?"

"Because his attempts on my life have been foolish thus far Serverus I don't think he has it in him."

"What about Potter"

"He can't do what needs to be done with me here, He needs to be able to do it himself."

"Very well I will leave afterwards and gain Voldemort trust then I'll wait for the right time to strike."

"Thank-you Severus."

When snape had left dumbledore kept talking.

"Harry I know you listening right now, I'm sorry for what has to be done, you have always been like family to me and I love you very much. You need to let the Order know that Snape killed me under my orders and that he is helping us. I have faith and you Harry, I'm very proud of the man you are becoming. Good bye.

Harry forced himself out of the pensive. Every emotion he every felt went through him. Hurt confusion anger sadness etc. The main one was anger. Harry threw the closest thing to him against the wall and it shattered.

"Why?", Dumbledore knew he was going to die. He knew it. Dumbledore always thought he knew what was best. But he didn't he didn't. Harry needed him! He had left him.

"Harry what's wrong?" Ginny said rushing into the room.

"Dumbledore... he... knew",He said desperately.

"He knew what?",Ginny asked concerned.

"He knew he was going to die that Snape was going to kill him." He said with anger.

"Are you sure Harry?", She asked hesitantly.

"I saw it myself Ginny." ,He pointed to the pensive. "HE knew, HE knew" He cried.

Over the next week they had continued training. Harry had informed the Order of Dumbledore's decision. Many didn't believe him, but most did. That was the way Dumbledore worked. This news had an impacted on the hope of many. They had a guy on the inside, one that would be there to help.

Harry was stilled angered by Dumbledores decision but had come to terms with it. By this time Harry had gone back to watching Dumbledores memories. The last memory put into the pensive had told Harry where Dumbledore had left off. Dumbledore had voiced his suspicions about there being something behind the portrait of Sirius' mother. His reasoning being that, each Death Eater that Voldemort trusted and that was loyal to him had a piece of his soul or knew where one was. The Blacks were very devoted to Voldemort, it would be plausible that one was in their house. The mothers portrait would make sense because no one could remove it by any means. It had a force field around it somehow, it was hiding something.

That night Harry followed Dumbledore's suspicions. He didn't know what he was going to try. Dumbledore had tried all he could to get it open but to no success. Harry entered the house and everyone was there. Ron Hermione and Ginny had come too.

"Hiya Harry.", The twins said coming from the kitchen. "Long time no see."

"Are you guys in the Order now?", Harry asked.

"Yeah.", George said.

"Madeye has just sent us on an errand." Fred finished.

"Hey can you guys get me something while your out?"

"What are we your maid,"They said in lighthearted unison. Harry made no attempt to answer them but keep going.

"I need ingredients for a polyjuice potion." Hermione looked at him questionably. "Can you do that .Hermione can go with you she knows the ingredients." Hermione nodded her agreement.

"I'll meet you back at Godrics Hollow?"Ron asked her. She smiled and kept walking. As the door was closing Harry head a muffled. 'So it finely happened did it" Fred said to Hermione.

"What Happened?"Ginny asked but Ron made no attempt to answer her.

"What do we need polyjuice potion for?" Ron asked.

"I'll explain soon." Ron nodded. They walked into the kitchen, everyone from the order was pretty much there. Food and drinks had been laid out for everyone. As they entered the room heads nodded in greeting as they left. Lupin and Madeye remained behind to speak with harry.

"Harry, you missed dinner I'll make you kids something.." Mrs. Weasley said from the stove. She looked like she had gotten better over the last week about the situation.

"Yes Harry you just missed the meeting." Lupin said.

"Sorry I was into something in Dumbledores pensive." Lupin nodded in understanding. Harry Explained Dumbledores suspicions."I'm going to try and speak to her tonight I need some assistance though, just and case. I believe she will only talked to death eaters so I sent Hermione and the twins to get polyjuice potion, but I want to talk to her anyway."

"Harry we tried everything with that picture." Madeye growled. "But if you insist to try again lets hop to it."

"Madeye?" Ginny said. " Can you see through or behind the portrait?"

"No I can't there some magical shield around it sorry." Ginny nodded. They headed to the Heavy red curtains covering the painting. Harry braced himself and flung open the drapes. To his surprise the portrait didn't utter a word. It had gotten tired of yelling all day and night at the beginning of the summer, Lupin explained.

"What do you want, you worthless scum." She said and snobby voice."

"I want to know why you won't come off the wall."Harry questioned.

"I will only answer those who are loyal. You filthy worthless thing." She turned her head away indicating that they weren't worth there time. Harry closed the drapes.

"I think that confirms that she would only talk to Death Eaters.", Ron muttered. " Harry I know why you going to use the polyjuice potion, but who are you going to impersonate?"

"I've already thought about that, I remember in the fourth year at Hogwarts Victor Krums's School's headmaster showed his dark mark to Snape. Is he loyal to Voldemort still?"

"I'm afraid so Harry." Lupin said.

"Is there Any Death Eaters in Azkaban?"

"Lucious Malfoy is there."

"I thought he escaped?" Ginny asked.

"Apparently Voldemort sought to punish him, he tortured him badly he was near death ,when he let us have him. So he can suffer the rest of his life in jai,l even ripped the Darkmark from his arm." Madeye explained. Ginny winced in disgust.

"Could we get a piece of his hair?"Harry questioned,

"I'll do it."Madeye offered. " It' s time I payed old Lucious a visit,"

"Why doesn't he help us if he is no longer a death eater?" Ginny said.

"Pride I suppose. He's got none left as far as I'm concerned." Lupin muttered

"Why don't we just give him truth potion?" Ron suggested.

"Good Idea Ron I'll bring a bottle with me."

"I'm going with you," Harry said. Madeye nodded.

"Tomorrow morning meet me here at 8:00."
