The Truth In the Matter

I own nothing to do with Harry Potter it all goes to J.K.Rowling (if I spelled it right)

CHAPTER 5

Arriving first Cissy Black took a quick look around at the apartment she and Harry had shared for the past six months. It wasen't much of a home but it worked for them. They hardly spent anytime there anyways and the time they did spend there they usually had friends over.

The place was a mess. There were cloths spead around everywhere empty and partly full alcohol bottles and even some cigarettes. What could she say they loved the party life. But the place was not as messy as it seemed. They had taken care to carefully hide and get rid of all the things they did not want the order to see. Some very dark artifacts.

The fire suddenly flared right behind her and Cissy turned to face James Potter and then immediately Yaxley was there looking around egerly. There faces changed right before her eyes. James Potter had been in there once before but it was apparent he had not looked around.

" You live here?" James chocked out obviously appalled.

Just holding in here sneer Cissy held herself back from cursing him into oblivion. The place may be bad but it was not that bad. Oh wait Potter just wait. Thought Cissy venomously. Harry was going to have a little fun with his so called 'parents' during and hopefully after their stay.

The order still had no clue they were so called 'dark' but in all honesty them and their covenant were probably more dark than light. And personally Cissy thought (and Harry agreed) Voldemort had some pretty good idea's. In fact the only reason they kept denying him allegiance was because of their dept to Brice and there dept had now been passed on to Nate now, the new leader.

Sighing eyes closed Cissy finally answered James Potter. " And what may I ask is wrong with this place?"

" What is wrong with it? What is wrong with it? There are empty alcohol bottles cloths and cigarettes everywhere. Merlin knows what else!" He exploded.

Yaxley was looking around kind of embarrassedly. In all honesty he thought it looked like the life they lived looked like fun. His parents were lenient but if he ever came home drunk...they would kill him. Suddenly he notticed a bra laying across the couch he felt his cheeks flush. He wondered if Ginny...

" Lets hurry up and get your things and get out of here." James shuttered. His sixteen year old son lived like this. "And after your done packing we'll go to your landlord so we can make thing official." Good god imagine forgetting this horror.

"We can't do that." Cissy said harshly already grabbing some of the cloths she knew she would want while away.

" And why not? Surly you don't think we'll let you come back here." angrily James snapped back.

Taking a deep breath in order to calm herself she replied " Thats not what I meant I'm not that hopeful. What I meant is we paid to keep this apartment for a year and took an unbreakable vow on the contract. We can't get the money back and can't just up and leave."

Total silence the two Potters in the room stared at Cissy open mouthed. " Why...the...hell would you do something that stupid?" James finally burst out.

Shrugging Cissy replied " Thats the way things work in Knockturn Ally. Can't trust no one. And no one can trust you."

Turning Cissy stared walking toward the bedroom with Yaxley following. "Pack anything up you think looks important." she called over her shoulder.

James started noseing around instead. Trying to see how bad these children really were. In the bedroom Yaxley was having just the opposite feelings he was feeling jealousy what a great life they must of have.

It was painfully clear they sleep together in here cloths were spread around like at the time there owners were in a great hurry to get them off. He had never sleep with Ginny but he wanted to oh Merlin he wanted to, but he just didn't know how. Maybe he could ask Harry in a subtitle way. Yaxley watched and helped when called upon as Cissy packed mostly cloths but he did notice a lot of birth control potions being packed up. Maybe if he and Ginny well maybe Ginny could borrow one sometime.

There packing was interupted suddenly interupted by angry unintelligible shouting down in the small room beyond the bedroom. Which was a living room dinning room and well just any kind of room considering the apartment had only two rooms with a bathroom attached to the bedroom. Looking up from the drawers where she was packing a number of miscellaneous items into a bag Cissy muttered. "I wonder what he got into that he shouldn't have." Her question was soon answered as a angry James burst into the bedroom holding a number of items.

"What is all this shit?" he shouted looking over Yaxley could see anti- Dumbledore pamphlets. Dark spell and how to use them, and anti-order pamphlets.

Trying not to smile Cissy gave James her innocent face. Harry had set those up and purpose. He had not wanted the Potters to even think of him having any feeling of fondness toward the light side.

" Oh that, just some pamphlets and stuff. Mine really ,Harry's doesn't need pamphlets to make up his mind what side of the war he's on." Cissy replied coolly. Standing up. " Thats the last of it I guess I'm ready to go back to prison."

James however was completely ravage. He knew that his son and Cassy lived down a dark arts street but he had not known that they themselves were dark. The idea the possibility of his son...No he would watch him every minuet he would show him the truth. The light was good the dark bad surly he knew this but then why would he even have dark artifacts his place of residence. No, he was definitely going to have to show Lily, Sirius and Professor Dumbledore this.

" How could you two even consider siding with You-Know- Who?"spat James but then suddenly he remembered they denied him. Hope flooding threw him like a calming draft James sighed before another thought struck him. What was it they had said to the death eaters? He hadn't realized it then but they had never really said no. He had to show them the light and quickly.

" He had some good ideas." Cissy replied flatly. James looked at her shocked and Yaxley just looked at her looking betrayed .

" Good ideas, what good ideas? Kill all the muggles and muggleborns?Is that it?"James felt fury he had not felt in a long time. His son and this...girl he could not bring himself to comprehend it. They were Dark Lord supporters.

" Come on lets go." Cissy said clamly, and grabbing a couple bags she left the two Potter men behind in shock and hurt state. Without a word Yaxly walked out look one of the bags Cissy had and took the bag that his father had been packing up. And still without even so much as looking at Cissy stepped into the fire place and calling out Number 12 Grimmauld Place vanished in a swivel of fire.

Following his example Cissy did the same without even a heavy heart or a guilty conscious. The plan was working without a single flaw...son far.

When Cissy stepped out of the fire from Grimauld Place she found it all most identical to how she'd left it. James stepped out of the fire right behind her and by the look on his face the atmosphere tensed.

" SIRIUS , LILY!" he screamed the second he arrived not looking at anyone in particular he turned to his oldest son and sons friends. " Yaxley please take all Harry and Cassandras belonging upstairs."

Still looking down trodden Yaxley with a meaningful glance at his friend left. All of them caring the bags. Still siting at the table Harry looked at his father calmly. " Did you not find something you like there?" he asked with a sneer. Mrs. Weasley took this moment to excuse herself from the room while a confused Sirius and Lily came it.

" Prongs mate whats the matter?" Sirius said walking over to his clearly infuriated friend. Lily following to put her arms around her husband. Cissy took this moment to walk over to Harry and is a small voice explain everything that had happened.

Turing around from where James had been reporting the same thing Sirius looked at his daughter in a cold way. And in a voice very unlike the one he had been using said only one word very harshly. "Sit."

Smiling smugly Harry scooted out from the table and Cissy sat on his lap.

" Your own chair please if it's not too much trouble." Sirius continued threw gridded teeth.

Smirking Cissy stood up and pulled out another chair still pushed against Harry.

Looking at her son with tears in her eyes Lily Potter asked only one thing. "Why,"almost in an unhearable voice she asked.

" One minuet Lily." Jame snapped and walking over to the fireplace and sticking his head in James crouched down. Talking for only a couple seconds he pulled his head out. And still not making eye contact with anyone said in a defeated voice.

"Dumbledore will be here in a moment."with a grim look Sirius Black turned back to his daughter and looking betrayed just stared.

Harry and Cissy watched the whole scean in amusement. They both knew what was most likely to come and had already discussed how much information it was beneficial for them to give away. Suddenly green sparks swirled in the fire place and looking older then he did just hours before Albus Dumbledore arrived. Setting down at the smaller kitchen table he gazed at the two teens who appeared to be very uncaring about the situation.

Finally deciding it was time to ask again Lily Potter repeated the question she had masked only moments ago. " Why Harry why? Why would you... how could you?"but she was never able to finish.

Sirius Black broke in his usual cheerful demeaner gone. He was cold and anger ripped threw him. He blamed Jennifer for this. If she had not taken off with his little girl the world would be perfect.

But as he interrupted Lily his anger was relished on his daughter. And for the first time in his life he yelled at her. "How could you!?"he screamed. " I will not have any child of mine dark. You will admit this foolishness and come back to the light where you belong."Breathing heavily Sirius stared into his daughters eyes that were exactly like his but suddenly they seemed so cold. A coldness he could never achieve.

And calmly with a sudden rush of powwer filling the room she said only one thing. "No,I may be 'dark' but I will not change who I am just because I am currently residing with the bloody order of the fucking phoenix. I agree with some of the things Voldemort says and does but I also agree with things other wizards and witches you would consider light says and does and I will not change my was of thinking just because you all don't like it."the power emitting from Cissy when she said this make everyone speechless her words and the meanings behind them made everyone shocked.

" Is this how you feel as well Mr. Potter?" Albus Dumbledore asked calmly sadness radiating from him. And with a cocky smirk ans a nod as Harry's reply the room burst into shouts once again that evening. Unknown to them an expendable ear was inserting it's self from beneath the kitchen door.

In the kitchen Dumbledore cleared his throat the effect automatic silence. "In that case Mr.Potter I must tell you something I have suspected for awhile now. Sense the night of lord Voldemort's return if truth be told." he started.

"The idea first occurred to me when Yaxley was reporting to me what had happened in the graveyard. He was so distressed that he probably didn't even realize what exactly Voldemort was saying." with a sigh and confused and anchious parents watching him he continued."I'm afraid on that Halloween night so many years ago I might of made a mistake. During Yaxley's time spent with Voldemort I found out some very intresting things. Yaxley was able to escape Voldemort by accident. He tripped over the tri-wizzard cup in a vain attempt to escape thus transporting him back to Hogwarts or else he surly would have died that night."

"Professor I'm sorry but how does this have anything to do with the current situation?"Sirius burst in who was way more intrested on why his daughter was possibly dark.

"Because," interupted Harry this time from his place at the table. " he is going to try and tell me that he thinks that I'm the 'chosen one',"

" Wait Dumbledore how could that be? You said that night 15 years ago that it was Yaxley because he was found with his scar white hot while Harry's was only bleeding and had no temperature." Lily burst in remembering that night with a shudder.

"Yes I did deside that Lily but that night was so confusing for all of us. I was just going by what I thought made sense." the 'greatest' wizard in modern times said shamefully.

"But that night at the graveyard Voldemort said something that made me think I got it wrong. He told Yaxley 'you carry your brothers blood,Your blood is not as benifishal to me as his would have been but nether less I suppose that the error that old fool has made will be benifishal to me in time." quoted Dumbledore sadly.

"As I said before young Yaxley was so distrout that night I don't think he grasped the true meaning of those words. I am an old fool I do not denie it and I am not foolish enough to thin that the blame for the last 15 years does not rest solely on my shoulders." By this time the adults were in horror. Dumbledore was crying and the Potters had never felt so...shocked in their life. The whole reason for this whole regrouping gone from evryones heads.

" You...you mean that Harry not Yaxley is really th-the cho-chosen one?" shuddered out James in a shocked numb voice.

" This could of saved me a lot of trouble 15 years ago." Harry said sarcastically bring back the existence of Him and Cissy's into everyones minds.

" You don't seemed...surprised." said Lily Potter quietly with tears in her eyes. If she woulds have known this 15 years ago would it now be Yaxley sitting in front of her with hatred shinning in his eyes?

When it became apparent Harry was not going to say anything Cissy spoke up. " He's not, in one of our...meetings. Voldemort told us the story him self. Quite interesting really."Cissy finished with a mused look.

"Anyway the prophesy is not the reason everyones here we are all here to discuses why these two..."Lily was talking now jesturing at the two unconcerned teens at the table.

"think that the dark,"she said with a very un Gryffindor sneer."is right."she finished.

" Uh uh, I never said we thought the dark was right. Just better that your so called light side." Cissy interjected.

Just as the older adults in the room were about to protest Dumbledore interjected. " This is not the time for arguing lets just discuse what would put you two in this frame of mind."He said with his icy blue eyes staring into the two teens.

" Oh please we are not going to be able to get threw this conversation without arguing." Cissy said loudly.

" This is all Jennifer's fault!" Sirius interupted. Finally voicing his opinion.

'Oh so is it mum's fault that Harry ran away after being ignored for years." Argued Cissy cruley. She may not of seen her mum in years and her mum may of did nothing to interfered when she watched her boyfriend beat unconscious her 4 year old child but she needed to rub in the Potters face what they did to Harry. And her words obviously took affect as not only the Potters but all the adults in the room flinched.

James was just about to try to say something most likely try and defend his actions when Harry this time spoke out. " Siriusly though how long did it take you to find out I was gone three days four?"

At this though the whole room when silent you could almost hear the pounding of hearts. In reality when Harry had went missing was the first time that the Potters realized they should have paid more attention to there youngest son. It had taken a full week for the parents to notice that he was gone. At first the house elf Tinky had started to tell them after a day that young Master Potter was hiding. They had just brushed her off. But it had been when Yaxley had returned home from his friend Nevile Longbottom's house that after a cuple days he had asked where Harry was and that was when they had really realized. A full week after his disapearence.

" And you ask why we are so called 'dark'." sneered Harry coldly he had not realized that it had indeed took his parents that to find out he was gone but the answer was so clear on their face. " We believe Voldemort when he talks about there are no good and evil. We believe him that the ministry is run by week pathetic people who should be killed for there idiocy. But we do not believe him about his pureblood shit. That is why you call us dark." Suddenly he stood up.

" I'm threw here this is pathetic I answered all of your ridiculous questions. So I see no need to stay. I can not understand why you." he turned on the Potters. "Even pretend, I want to go back to my apartment and live with my girlfriend and go back to the life we had before. But since you old man." he turned on Dumbledore at this. " Have got it in your head that I am your damn 'chosen one' it appears that I'll have to wait awhile to do that so now since it is 12pm I am going to bed." And leaving everyone in frozen silence he turned to leave. Yanking open the kitchen door two teens fell down at his feet.

" Glad you could join us Mr.Potter , Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore said calmly.
