Sitting down on a couch in the griffindor common room Harry waited for Hermione to come down from the girl's dorm so that they could talk. Sitting there Harry thought about what he was going to say in order to convince Hermione that not only was Dumbledore evil but he erased their memories about the fact that they were going out with each other. Thankfully he didn't need to wait long because coming down the stairs was his best friend and hopefully girlfriend.
"So what did you need to talk to me about?" Hermione asked as she came closer to Harry and sat down next to him.
"Not here let's go to the come and go room," Harry said as he got up and started to leave the common room.
"Hey Harry wait for me," Hermione called out as she ran to catch up with him.
Five minutes later Harry was standing outside of the come and go room with Hermione. Passing back and forth three times while mumbling to himself that he need a place to talk to Hermione without any interruptions, Harry soon stopped and watched as a door appeared opening the door Harry pointed into the room and said, "Ladies first."
"Well thank you Harry," Hermione said giggling as she entered the room.
Walking into the room behind her Harry saw that the room had anticipated everything he needed to prove to Hermione that he would be telling the truth. There was a couch to sit on and a pensive that would allow him to show her his memories. Following Hermione to the couch Harry sat down next to her and pulled out a couple of memories for her to watch inside the pensive. Motioning to the pensive Harry put his memories into it and said, "Here Hermione look at these memories and then we'll talk about them."
The first memory that Hermione was seeing was when Dumbledore sealed his powers and talked about his plans for the future. Next was the memory of Hermione and himself dating in third year before Ron found out and Dumbledore erased and replaced those memories with new ones. The next memories she saw were about Voldemort growing up and him becoming a dark lord then his death. The last memory she saw was the memory of Snape asking Voldemort to spare his mother in order for Snape to have her as his slave. Coming out of the memories Hermione looked up to Harry in shock and asked, "Where did you get these from?"
"Well after everything that happened I needed to get away and think about all that I went through," Harry told her before continuing with his story. "So I went to the come and go room, while there I decided to use my new powers to break the connection between myself and Voldemort those memories appeared after I broke the connection."
"I see but how did you get Voldemort's memories?" Hermione asked curious on how that happened.
"When you were watching his memories did you see the part about a horcrux?" Harry asked.
"Yes I did," Hermione said before her eyes went wide in realization. Turning to Harry in shock she asked, "That connection was a horcrox but how?"
"When Voldemort tried to kill me he had already done the ritual to create a horcrux. When the killing curse back fired it ripped a piece of his soul off and landed in my scar." Harry explained.
"Okay that explains that but what I don't understand is why is Dumbledore doing all of this, could it be that he knew you were a horcrux and thought that you had to die in order to get rid of it?" Hermione asked trying to make sense of everything.
"That's a possibility but I don't think it's the reason he is doing this." Harry said before continuing, "I think he's just power mad and wants to have it all to himself."
"Maybe but something's wrong," Hermione said before shaking her head in frustration.
"Yes something is wrong," Harry said before asking. "Do you think the Weasley's are in on his plans?"
"I don't know Ron is for sure after all when he found out about us dating Dumbledore found out and erased out memories." Hermione replied.
"Yes Ron is in on Dumbledore's plans for sure but I think Molly is in on it as well." Harry told her.
"Why do you think that?" Hermione asked in shock at the very thought that someone who was so nice to them could do something so wrong.
"Because when I was eleven and on my way to platform nine and three quarters I couldn't find it when all of a sudden the Weasley family came through yelling out loud where is platform nine and three quarters. You would think that with how many times they came to Hogwarts they would know where the platform was." Harry explained to Hermione.
"Yes dam it they were in on it," Hermione said as she jumped up from her seat and begun pacing back and forth.
"Yeah I thought so as well," Harry said in agreement.
"But why would someone so light sided like the Weasleys and Dumbledore do something like this?" Hermione asked as she sat down in frustration over everything she found out.
"Well I know why the Weasleys would do something like this but not Dumbledore," Harry said catching Hermione's attention.
"Tell me," Hermione demanded wanting to know why they would do this.
"Almost all of the magical world grew up being told that Dumbledore was the leader of the light even the Weasleys grew up this way. By growing up like this it's exactly like a cult, what do you think would happen to someone who had a different view then what Dumbledore had?" Harry asked.
"They would probably be considered dark and against the light therefore an enemy," Hermione said as her eyes widened in shock before saying, "This is bad we can't do anything about Dumbledore or else we'll be thought of as going dark by his followers."
"Yeah that is exactly what I thought as well," Harry said as he slumped back into his chair in disappointment.
"This is bad what are we going to do?" Hermione asked as she got up and began to pace back and forth nervously.
"I don't know but I do have an idea," Harry said getting Hermione's full attention.
"What is it?" she asked.
"We play along and then when Voldemort's dead we run for it somewhere tropical," Harry said explaining his plan.
"That's a nice plan Harry but I don't want to run I want to fight," Hermione replied.
"I know but we don't have the man power Dumbledore has the entire light side working for him, Harry tried to say only to be interrupted by someone.
"I don't think he has the entire light side under him after all me and my aunt don't follow him," Susan Bones said as she came out of the darkness surprising both Harry and Hermione before dropping an even bigger shock to them both. "And as for man power well I think I can help you with that."
