The Known Truth
CH 4
Welcome to chapter four where Harry's master plan is revealed and the ending is less then desirable. You can hate me for it later.
I do not own harry potter, shame, I could do so much if I did. Oh well.
Harry was up with the Dawn again, though this time he did not leave his room. He was getting paler though seemed to be increasing in strength, as if going pale was good fro him. It was strange. Harry sat up and shimmied free of his 'nest' and stretched,
"Lets do something constructive today." he mumbled to himself as he began what looked like an old and well used exercise regime. Sit up crunches, pushups, pull ups and various other exercises to get his blood pumping. He grinned as he settled into a stance beginning a long hand to hand pattern. Kicking, punching in random orders as if fighting invisible enemies.
Once he had a layer of sweat coating his body he pulled out two long knives, no, blades really. Throwing daggers. He added these into the punching and kicking pattern adding stabs and swipes now as well, panting slightly and turning as the door opened the blade flying from his hand to fly through the air sinking deep into the wood next to a now very terrified Draco.
"Jesus fuck Draco you scared the Shit out of me!" harry complained a hand to his heart. "don't you knock!" harry demanded crossing his arms looking annoyed.
"you threw a knife at me and YOUR having a heart attack!?" Draco demanded his mouth agape and Harry laughed.
"Good point, sorry I'm a little high strung today."
"only a little?" Draco taunted yanking the blade out of the wall and examining it. "how did you do that anyway?"
"Years of practice." Harry admitted snatching the blade back up. And setting it almost lovingly back into it's box. "a friend taught me."
"Who the hell would teach a fifteen year old kid how to throw a knife?"
"i was thirteen actually and I can fight with them too. He's a Forest Elf." Draco gaped at harry for a long moment. Forest Elves where well known for their secrecy and hatred of wizards and man kind alike because of the destruction of their forests. That harry had even seen one let alone knew one was amazing.
"You know a forest elf!?" Draco demanded and harry laughed.
"i know a whole tribe." harry stated simply with a smirk.
"Your a very surprising person potter you know that?" he demanded crossing his arms and Harry snorted. "The house elves said you haven't eaten today, their worried." Draco said looking harry over. "I'm worried." harry sighed a little.
"You don't need to be." Harry said smiling a bit. " I cant eat sometimes in the mornings." he explained yanking on his shoes. "or I'll get sick. I know I'm skinny beyond all belief but I'm not about to die of starvation. If I was gonna kill myself I'd pick a quicker way." Draco rolled his eyes but nodded then smirked.
"Nice black eye." he stated and Harry glared at him.
"So I punched myself in the eye! Who hasn't!" he complained as he stood cracking his shoulder then his fingers.
"of course of course." Draco said snickering. "Father wants to speak to you." Draco stated simply and Harry rolled his eyes.
"Where is he."
"In the library." Draco said. "I'll show you the way." harry nodded and they set off before Draco paused his head tilted. Harry was taller by, a lot and his hair had grown as well and hung in neat waves around his face and he was paler again.
"what?" harry demanded scowling.
"Nothing you just look different..." Draco said frowning and Harry snorted.
"I'm fifteen Draco, I think I should be able to experiment with my looks."
"i think it has to do with the magic you did your first night here."
"I'm surprised it took you this long to ask." harry admitted laughing. "and your right, it douse have to do with my new looks."
"what the hell kind of magic where you doing potter?" Draco demanded his voice a growl and harry smirked.
"Blood magic." harry stated simply Draco's mouth dropping open. Very few people even knew about blood magic let alone how to use it and it was considered the darkest of arts. Not only that but the vast amounts of energy it took to use a blood spell was, well people had been known to end up dead.
"Draco you look like a fish." Harry commented and Draco shook his head.
"You scare me sometimes." Draco muttered under his breath leading the way to the library before vanishing to talk to Blaise, he didn't even waste any time he just told Blaise what harry had told him and now it was Blaise's turn to look like a fish.
"i didn't know anyone our age could even try blood magic let alone survive it!" Blaise choked out.
"i know, Harry is one powerful wizard. I think he really could kill Dumbledore if he wanted to. Now even, without the training he has the stamina and the power for it." Draco stated with a shiver.
"maybe. But it makes you wonder just how long he's been training for." Blaise stated.
"Somehow I think it's about three years. He told me he's been learning knife play since he was thirteen. Who knows what else he's picked up." Draco shook his head. "it makes you wonder why he's been training."
"one would think that's obvious Draco." Blaise stated simply Draco snorting.
"do you really think he's going to all this effort just to fight The Dark Lord? No, that might be part of it but there are other reasons too I'm sure of it."
"You could be right." Blaise agreed licking his lips nervously. "i think it's time we told your father."
"i think your right."
MEANWHILE
Harry strode through the books lightly brushing the covers with his fingers looking them over. There where so many, most where about the witch burnings and other wizard persecutions but harry had looked that up himself years ago.
"Impressive isn't it?" Lucius asked from behind harry who yelped and spun around a hand to his heart.
"Don't you people make noise when you walk!?" he demanded grumpily Lucius chuckling.
"sorry, perhaps next time I should wear bells like a cat." he agreed Harry staring at him for a moment then laughing.
"You just made a joke!" he said grinning."i didn't know that you could."
"Don't spread it around or my name would be slandered." Lucius joked again motioning for harry to sit. Harry settled cat like into a plushy arm chair curling his legs under himself. "there are several things I need to address." Lucius admitted. "the first being, are you going to do anything about the muggles?" Harry's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lucius cautiously thinking a bit before he answered.
"No." harry decided. "their not worth the effort, if you want to deal with them your more than welcome to but I am not going to bother." Harry decided with a shrug Lucius looking startled before he nodded.
"Alright." he agreed scribbling something down onto a piece of parchment. "Where are you going to live?" he asked actually sounding concerned and Harry laughed.
"that all depends on if Voldemort decides to take me in as a student or not. If he douse I'll find a nice little house, or maybe I'll just rent a room somewhere or live where he tells me to live. If he doesn't, well I'll trade my wizards money in for muggle and move somewhere, America maybe, or to Russia."
"what if the ministry gets involved? Or Dumbledore?"
"The ministry isn't about to bother me Lord Malfoy, I have far too much Dirt on them. As for Dumbledore he wont have much to do with me once I stick my foot in and start declaring my own little part in this war." Lucius's eyebrow raised, startled.
"What do you mean?" Lucius asked startled and Harry laughed.
"i mean, that I am starting a new side to this two headed war. Both Tom and Dumbledore have good idea's but they are also very, very wrong in many others. Their blinded by their hatred, I am not. I can use this to my advantage in more ways than one." he admitted smirking. "I'm not so politically stupid as everyone thinks."
"And that's why your going to let tom live." Lucius whispered, shocked and Harry smirked and nodded.
"Dumbledore falls and they will only have me to save them, most people listen to me more than Dumbledore anyway." Lucius was having a heart attack, he was certain of it. This fifteen year old child had two of the greatest wizards of all wizard kind wrapped around his fingers, making them dance like a child with a puppet. It was amazing.
"why are you telling me all of this?" Lucius finally managed to ask and harry smirked.
"So you'll tell tom mostly." he admitted running his nails along the upholstery tapping it slightly. "after all he's not much use to me, nor I to him if I keep him in the dark." well that was true enough Lucius decided nodding.
"you harry, are a sly little child."
"i haven't been a child in years Lord Malfoy." harry stated simply and Lucius did not doubt him in the least. Harry had a way with words and his attitude was remarkably charismatic. Lucius could almost bet that the wizard world would do as he said even if harry was ordering them all to commit murder upon any wizard they saw.
"Well for what it's worth, if you ever need a place to stay your welcome within Malfoy Manor." Lucius decided almost cursing himself relaxing when harry looked startled.
"Thank you Lord Malfoy." Harry said smiling Lucius chuckling.
"Call me Lucius, please." he said smiling. "i know important friends when I see them." he decided with a laugh. "unfortunately I have to go, My Lord is waiting for me." he said with a smile standing and Harry laughed.
"Ans no doubt Draco and Professor Snapfire is waiting for me." Harry admitted looking at all the books one last time.
"Your more then welcome to borrow the books Harry, so long as your careful with them." harry beamed and bowed to Lucius.
"Thank you." he said smiling as he raced off to join Draco in the Gym. "Wheres the Professor?" harry asked startled.
"Sick." Draco said with a sigh. "So it's just us today. Try not to damage yourself huh?"
"Says the kid who almost pissed his pants this morning." Harry said rolling his eyes ignoring the steady ache in his scar, he'd had it since that morning and brushed it off as a headache. T
hey started their sets Harry stumbling as he parried Draco trying to place his feet properly, though he was doing much, MUCH better than he had yesterday he was still clumsy as hell. Draco paused suddenly when harry gasped and let out a cry of pain dropping to the ground and clutching at his scar, screaming and thrashing around as if he was having a seizure.
"Shit! Harry!" Draco yelled grabbing Harry's shoulder just in time because right at that moment harry vanished with a crack, they landed in a large grassy field where Voldemort was being tortured with Crucio by an Oder Member.
"Sectumsempra!" Draco yelled waving his want the man gasping as blood gushed from his neck Voldemort panting as he stood harry whimpering once before going limp and still. "Harry!"
"Malfoy! How did you and Potter get here!?" Voldemort demanded wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
"i don't know! Harry was twitching and screaming and I grabbed his shoulder and then we where here!" Draco stammered trying to wake harry with no success. Voldemort growled and grabbed them harry crying out in pain as he apparated them back to Malfoy manor, Draco left to 'guard' harry while Voldemort talked with Lucius.
Harry stayed asleep for almost two hours, his face unnaturally pale and he looked frail as if he'd been sick for a long time other than sharing Voldemort's pain. At just after two hours Harry's eyes fluttered open and he groaned.
"What happened?" harry managed to ask Draco holding a glass of water to Harry's lips.
"You passed out, I think you apparated us to The Dark Lord, he was under the Crucio."
"Damn...the bond is getting stronger." Harry said sitting up rubbing his aching scar with a grimace.
"You should stay laying down harry." Draco mothered pressing harry back down onto the bed harry chuckling weakly.
"Draco, can you keep a secrete?" Harry asked his voice husky. "you can't tell anyone. Not Blaise, not Lucius, not even Tom." Draco looked startled then hesitantly said yes, yes he could.
"i lied before, when I told Blaise I didn't know how Dumbledore got away with stealing me from my mother. I was barley a few seconds old, my mother terribly weak from labor. She hadn't even been able to raise her wand or defend herself. Dumbledore killed her."
"Your freaking me out a bit here Harry." Draco admitted and harry smiled a bit.
"Dumbledore took me, obliviating the memories of the nurses and took me to the Potters. Their child had been born dead as Dumbledore had known it would. He used blood magic, strong blood magic to turn my DNA into that of lily and James potter's." harry explained coughing a bit as he took another drink of water.
"and that's why the blood magic? You where trying to override Dumbledores magic?" Draco asked and harry nodded
"It only partially worked, Lily and James potters blood still rushes through my veins but now so douse my original bloodlines." Harry said coughing again. "now is the part where you cannot tell a single soul Draco. No one, do you understand? Not a single damn soul! Not unless I die or tell you you can, do you promise?"
"I'm not sure I should..."
"Do you promise Draco?" Harry demanded looking as if he was loosing the battle to stay awake. Harry looked so distraught that Draco just had to agree.
"I promise I will not tell anyone what you are about to tell me unless you die, give me permission, or it risks my life or the life of my friends and or family." Draco intoned invoking his magic to make it a true promise harry nodding relaxing.
"good... my mother, I don't know exactly who she was though I will soon. But my father, lord, I know him well enough. My father is..."
MUAHAHAHAHAHA CLIFF HANGER BITCHES!! XDDD
hate me! Hate me till I die from it muahahahahaha
