"I need to step up the research." Albus said, "I may have to ask Minerva to take more Headmaster duties or select a second deputy. We may be able stop this far sooner than I thought."

"Wait a minute." James said, "I'm not anxious for anything to happen any time soon. He's powerful but he is still a child."

"You're right and he needs to stay a child as long as possible." Albus said, "I just thought this would be another several decades or more. But we could be done in much less time than that. This visit has been truly eye opening."

"Do you think we should change anything we're doing?" James asked.

"Not a thing." Albus smiled, "Just keep progressing as you have been. He seems to be a well rounded child. Harry, do you like what you have been doing so far?"

"Yes, they always try to make the training seem like a game." Harry said, "So it keeps it interesting and less like work. I'll be ready to face Voldemort when it's time."

Everyone looked at him and James asked, "What are you talking about?

"I know I'm expected to defeat Voldemort." Harry said.

"Who told you?" Lily asked.

"Ginny." Harry said.

"What did she tell you?" James asked.

"She heard her older brothers talking about what they had heard at school." Harry said, "They said I stopped Voldemort as a baby but it only hurt him badly and that I had to finish him off when I got older. She's worried I'll get hurt or killed. She would be very upset if that happened. I don't want her to worry so I work hard."

Every adult in the room was silent for several seconds. Then they all started talking at once. Finally Albus let off a loud firecracker.

"Silence." Everyone got quiet then he continued, "Do you know what finish him off means?"

"It means stopping him from hurting anyone ever again." Harry said, "How to do that has several options. I could kill him but I don't want to be a murderer. I could over power him and he could be put in Azkaban but he might escape. Another option is take his magic away, I like this option best, but I don't know how to do it. I was hoping you would have an idea about that."

"You seem to have given this a fair amount of thought." Albus said.

"Well Ginny is upset about us being apart and I don't want her to be upset." Harry said, "But we can't truly be together until Voldemort and his followers are gone. The only reason we're hiding now is so that I can grow enough to stop him. I'm tired of my family's lives being disrupted. I know they think this is worth it but Sirius and Remus really need to find companionship of their own and start their families. I'm holding them back right now, I appreciate all they have sacrificed for me and I just want what's best for them."

"That is very wise and compassionate." Albus said.

Harry shrugged, and Lily walked over to him and got on her knees so she would be at Harry's level. First she hugged him and said, "I'm very proud of you, but I don't want you to worry about us. We're adults and we make our own choices. We are backing you and nothing is going to stop that."

"But Mom even you and Dad are forced to make choices." Harry frowned slightly, "Because of me you've decided not to have any more kids. I used to think you were afraid I would hurt them but now I think it's because Voldemort may hurt them to get to me. I know as soon as he's well enough he will try to come after me to stop me before I'm strong enough to stop him. It only makes sense."

"Harry the reason we are not having any more kids is not because of you." James said, "We only wanted one or two anyway. And we just haven't had time to have another one."

"Yes because you're busy training me." He claimed, "I know it's not my fault but Voldemort's for choosing me. I'm just tired of him disrupting our lives. I would love a baby brother or sister, but I don't want anyone else hurt either."

"She told us he was wise beyond his years," Sirius said, "I guess we just didn't understand what that meant."

"Ok, time to go back and play with the other kids." Lily said.

"Yes!" Harry cheered, "Thank you for your time Professor Dumbledore. It was a pleasure speaking with you."

"Likewise Harry." Albus said, "Please feel free to come by anytime."

"All that worrying about how to tell him and he already knows most of it." James said.

"Children are usually more perceptive than we give them credit for." Albus smiled, "And Harry gets more help than you ever expected. I think you're right we need to share the prophecy with him. If you want before you leave I can used the pensieve so you all can see the full prophecy being made."

"That's a good idea then we can explain how Voldemort marked him and chose him." Remus said.

When Lily and Harry reached the Great Hall Ginny ran over and hugged him. Then she hugged Lily and asked, "Are you mad that I told him that? Does he really have to do it? Can't someone else?"

Lily held Ginny and tried to calm her down, "No, we're not mad although Harry should have told us. I think he does have to and I don't think anyone else can do it for him. We would like to be able to take it from him but I don't know how."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Harry said, "But I wasn't sure you knew and I didn't want to add worry to you. I should have realized that was why we're hiding not my power."

Lily pulled Harry into the hug with Ginny, "No Harry. You did fine. We hid it from you for the same reason."

Molly walked over, "It something wrong?"

"No I was just afraid Mrs. Potter would be mad at me because I told Harry about Voldemort." Ginny said.

Molly blinked, "How do you know about him?"

"I was playing hide and seek with Ron a few months ago." Ginny said, "I was hiding behind the couch in the living room. Charlie and Bill walked in and were talking about him and Harry and some rumors Bill had heard at school. It scared me so I told Harry and he realize that was why they were in hiding. I felt better knowing that is why they live so far away and can't visit. Harry needs to stay safe."

By this time Albus, James, Sirius and Remus were back in the Great Hall. They had heard what Ginny had said.

"Harry we have decided to show you the prophecy before you leave to go home." Albus said, "We feel it's better for you to know the truth than to speculate on rumor."

"Thank you professor." Harry said, "Can Ginny and her parents be there too. I don't think I will be able to keep it from Ginny anyway and if she knows her parents should too."

"I'll have to think about that." Albus said, "We already have more people knowing than I'm comfortable with."
