Muse – Hey Ky.

Kyron120867 – Huh? Oh hey Muse.

Muse – What you doing?

Kyron120867 – Looking at these reviews.

Muse – Why?

Kyron120867 – Because I like to know what people think, besides it is kinda funny that some people think they already know where the story is going.

Muse – Ky?

Kyron120867 – Yeah

Muse – Chill and let the people think what they will and let these good people know that you do not own Harry Potter. And for gods sake get a beta reader, at least they could keep you from making so many mistakes.

Kyron120867 – Ok, I do not own Harry Potter in any way shape or form. That belongs to J.K Rowling. I only own the idea behind this story.

Hidden Secrets Revealed

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore sat in his office pondering events that had unfolded. His plan to keep Sirius from Harry had succeeded to a point however, that had also caused problems he had not foreseen. Now, not only did he not have his weapon, but he could not even find the blasted boy. His spies had searched far and wide without a hint of the boy, they had even entered Japan to search through public records. It seemed that Harry Potter did not even exists and worse was that the blasted goblins were not even letting him get into the Potter vaults. He had been so close to gaining control over the Potter vaults, now he was completely locked out. How eyes turned to the one instrument that gave him hope and also fear. That one little instrument told him that without a doubt Harry James Potter was alive and that his plans were still salvageable, however, how salvageable they were was still up in the air. Maybe next years tournament might be of use somehow. If the boy's name was placed within the goblet then the boy would be forced by magic to appear and forced to participate in the tournament and once again placing him under Dumbledore's influence. Then he could fulfill his destiny and die at the proper time.

Dumbledore was so caught up in his mussing that he did not even hear the knocking on his door at first and was surprised when the door open to admit a raggedly looking man in faded robes. The man's eyes looked tired and full of pain as he took a seat in front of the desk.

"Ah Remus, thank you for coming. Do you have any news of young Harry?" Albus asked as he took in the man's appearance.

"I am sorry Headmaster, I have not found anything." Remus said with a sad look on his face.

"Well, I am sure that we will soon have a way to track young Harry down. I have just come from Azkaban prison were it was discovered that Sirius Black was not the person who betrayed the Potters to Voldemort." Dumbledore informed him with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Oh, well that is good." Remus replied in a controlled neutral voice.

"Are you not pleased at the news Remus?" Albus asked in confusion.

"I have made my peace with the past and have no desire to meet the man again." Remus replied.

"My dear fellow, we must learn to forgive those who have fallen from the path of the light and try to show them the right way." Dumbledore chided quietly while he school his features to hide his anger. Remus was not sure what was happening, but something was up that made him extremely nervous. With his condition he knew that Albus Dumbledore could not read his mind, however, the man was a master manipulator and had used people before as was the case with his dearest friend Lily Potter. He still could not believe what he had learned from her before her death. As he studied his old headmaster he nodded his head slowly.

"I do not see what my relationship with Black has to do with anything. He betrayed a dear friend of mine in the worse way and you would ask me to forgive and forget. What would Severus say if he heard what you are saying now?" Remus replied in a soar tone.

"Severus has many demons that he must work through on his own. I do not think he would need to know this." Albus said in a firm tone.

What do I not need to know headmaster." Severus Snape asked as he walked into the office not even acknowledging Remus Lupin.

"Oh, just the fact that Potter and Black used potions on Lily at the beginning of 7th year. Of course when I found out it was already to late to do anything as she was already married to Potter." Remus replied in anger staring at Albus Dumbledore.

"You knew of this Headmaster?" Severus asked in anger. "She was my best friend."

"Now Severus, let us not forget that you called her a mudblood during fifth year and ruined your friendship with her yourself." Albus chided lightly.

"That does not change the fact that I cared a great deal for her and you knew that those two stole her." Severus yelled.

"Calm yourself Severus, my boy. Whats done is done and nothing we say or do will change that. What we do now is of importance and we must come together if we are to finally end Voldemort. I have recently learned that Sirius Black did not betray the Potters and that he is actually innocent. I will need both of you to work together to find out what the man does once he is free. We must find Harry Potter for his own safety." Albus explained in a grandfatherly tone with is eyes twinkling.

"Absolutely not, I will not help that man. I will not be around him nor speak to him regardless of what you ask of me. He almost had me killed by Lupin. Had it not been for Potter I would have been killed. At least I have fulfilled that life debt when I saved his son during his first year here." Severus argued. While Remus nodded his head sadly.

"I need you two to do this or we are lost without Harry. Please for the sake of our fight with Voldemort, put aside your feelings." Albus pleaded seeing the two were not budging on this. "I need you Remus to watch him and see where he goes. If he makes contact with Harry I need to know as soon as possible to protect him."

"And just how do you expect Black to find him when not even Lupin can?" Severus drawled in disdain with a sneer on his face.

"Family magic." Albus simply stated.

"What?" Severus asked in confusion.

"What are you talking about Headmaster? Those potions are not considered family magic and never will be. Actually the both of them should be on trial for Line theft, the only reason they are not is because Lily was muggleborn." Remus growled out in anger.

"Of course, of course Remus, but Lily was a muggleborn and as such the laws do not protect her line like they do pureblood families." Albus replied in a grandfatherly tone as he tried to placate the man. "However, as to what I was saying, it seems that Sirius and James performed a Black family ritual to combined their DNA to make Harry both of their son. So in essence Harry is a Potter and a Black. Please, I need you to do this to protect Harry from those that would seek to harm him. We must protect Harry." Albus pleaded.

"Alright, however, do not expect me to be to close with the man again. However, do not expect me to forgive him." Remus replied. Remus stood and nodded to both men before he stormed out of the office trying to get away from the manipulative fool. If he thought that Remus would just cow-toe to the man he was sadly mistaken.

"Lupin, a word if you would please?" Severus asked as he caught up with him at the front door. Remus looked at Severus for a minute before he nodded his head and followed the man down into the dungeons.

After entering Severus's office and watching as the man cast several spells the two faced each other for the first time in nearly 16 years.

"Alright Severus, I am here. What can I do for you?" Remus asked.

"I wish to speak to you about Lily. I am confused as to what happened and how the smartest witch of our age could have been so fooled into taking potions." Severus replied.

"I don't know Severus. I just don't know. I only found out about it when Potter and Black went out drinking one night after they brought Harry home from the hospital. Unfortunately, Dumbledore is right that line theft does not apply in this case. What is worse is that because she was married and could not get divorced unless Potter cast her from the family there was nothing she could do. She was very unhappy, except for having her son. She told me that he was protected better then any pureblood in the world, but would not explain." Remus explained as he looked at the floor. He still remembered the look on Severus's face when he had been found in the shrieking shake during their fifth year.

"I see. Well what do you plan to do now?" Severus asked.

"I guess I will watch Black and pretend to be his friend as much as I hate the idea, but Dumbledore is right Harry needs to be protected. I am still confused as to where he was all this time as nothing I did would lead me to him." Remus replied as he looked at Severus.

"That is because of the blood wards as well as many others that surrounded Lily's sister house." Severus replied.

"BLOOD WARDS, surely you jest Severus. Blood wards have to be tied to ones blood and magic. Anyone found behind blood wards have their magic drained to power the damn things." Remus bellowed as he stood and started pacing.

"Calm yourself Remus, if you don't we will not be able to figure this out." Severus said in a cold tone.

"But, those wards would have done more harm then anything else and we both know how Petunia felt about her sister. Lily told me how you were her only friend after her sister caught her doing magic once when she was eight." Remus replied as he looked at the man before him in disbelief. Shaking his head Remus sat down again.

"Now that you are calm again let me tell you that no one will find Potter. We have been searching since school began in September when we found out and Dumbledore expelled Ms. Hermione Granger. To be honest, I am quite pleased that he did, because that girl was headed in the same direction as Lily and would have ended up as someones slave. She is incredible intelligent, but lacked any knowledge of the wizarding world, that I provided Lily, before she came here. As such Ms. Granger insulted many purebloods because she did not know any better and you know how that went over." Severus explained.

"I don't understand what this has to do with Harry." Remus said in confusion.

"What it has to do with Po... Harry is that she was his best friend and admitted that she had no idea where he disappeared to after she ruined her friendship with him. Apparently, she did not know him as well as she thought she did, as we all though we did. While she was in the Headmaster's office I scanned her after the headmaster mentioned his name. Her thoughts were of their lasts words and to be honest I have been trying to figure out what they meant. I have been to the Dursley's house and found that the story I was being told was far from the truth. Harry was treated worse then a slave there and suffered ten years of abuse at their hands. He played everyone of us, except for Mrs. Pince in the library. After talking to her, I found that Harry was far more intelligent then any of us thought." Severus informed Remus with a small smile on his face. If any of his students had seen the smile they would have run for the hills.

"Are you telling me that he got Lily's intelligence?" Remus asked.

"Oh he got far more then that. Apparently he was supposed to have been in Slytherin and told the sorting hat he would burn it if he did not place him in Gryffindor. He did not want anything to do with my godson. Although I can not say I blame him, Draco is an absolute disaster as a Slytherin. Harry does not trust adults at all and stayed to himself most of the time when he could escape Weasley and the Granger girl." Severus informed him. Remus just nodded his head as he thought about what Lily told him in confidence.

"Its funny you should say that as Lily also threatened the hat into placing her in Ravenclaw. The hat wanted to put her in Slytherin, but she said that you warned her to not let anyone put her in your house for her own safety." Remus said with a chuckle.

"Yes, she was quite put out with me when we had that argument as children. Harry is far more like his mother then either Black or Potter, if he does not want to be found we will not find him." Severus replied. "However, the thing that confuses me is that Dumbledore has some of his blood, with it he could do some rather drastic things. What those things are I do not know, however, I have looked into blood adoptions and they are only performed at Gringotts after approval of the Wizengamont and require Harry to be present, so he can use that to get control of any of House Potter vaults. I did learn that he has lost a source of funds he had prior to Harry leaving."

"What are you talking about Severus?" Remus asked in concern.

"Prior to Harry's return to Hogwarts, many students of the less fortunate families have been provided an education here at Hogwarts without having to worry about funds. Now I know that there were always scholarship students here, however, since 1981 the number has increased exponentially, until this year. I think that Dumbledore was stealing funds from the Potter vaults to fund these students as a way to gain their loyalty to Dumbledore. However, that is just my opinion. The problem we face right now is that if Black performed this ritual he will be able to use family magic to track Harry down after he recuperates and that would spell disaster as Dumbledore is determine to place him back with his relatives. Of course, what Dumbledore does not know is that they will not be able to take him back as they no longer live at their old house or any house for that face. They are guest of her majesty's for the next thirty years for child abuse and murder." Severus informed Remus with a feral grin on his face.

The two men talked for several more hours before they parted. The meetings had gone a long way in resolving their differences from the past and healed some old wounds both carried. Upon exiting the floo at the leaky cauldron Remus immediately disappeared in the non magical world once again. He was lucky that no one could find him except by mail and he always checked it before he took anything. As he walked the streets he found a phone both and stepped inside to look up any Grangers in the greater London area. As he leafed through the phone book he noted that their were many Grangers and then looked in the business section and found Granger Dental in Crawley he moved towards the underground and disappeared before reappearing in an alleyway near the Granger's practice. Walking by the practice he noted that it appeared to be empty and stepped inside to find no patients.

"Sorry sir, but we are no longer excepting patients at this time. I am sure the new owners will be available within the month." A woman replied as she looked up from the desk at the counter.

"Actually, I was hoping to speak to the parents of Hermione Granger." Remus said with hope in his eyes.

"And who are you sir?" A man asked as he stepped into the office.

"Oh sorry, my name is Remus Lupin. I was hoping to discuss a boy by the name of Harry Potter with her if it would be alright." Remus replied carefully.

"Oh, so you are a wizard then. Well I am sorry to say that you will not be able to talk to our daughter as she is no longer in England and neither will we be in less then a week. So if you could please leave it would greatly appreciated." The man said in anger.

"I am sorry to disturb you, I did not mean any harm it is just important that we find Harry before it is to late." Remus informed the two.

"Well, you are not going to be able to get any information form her. She informed us of what happened with him on the train ride home and he did not even reply to any of her letters. I not sure what happened, all that she would say is that she screwed up with her very first friend. And then your vaunted headmaster expels her for something that was not her fault has set her on a different path in a different country. Also you should know that if you even try to use your wand it will not work in here as Madam Bones had runes placed in here to dispel any magic." The woman informed Remus with anger in her voice.

"Thank you for your time." Remus replied quietly as he turned and left the office. He then disappeared from Crawley to reappear in his home once again. He sat down in one of the chairs and stared at one of the pictures of Lily that he had hidden from everyone when they were in together. "I am sorry Lily, I should have thought about Petunia having him. I would have hidden him from all of them and made sure he was protected. I have failed you." He whispered as tears trailed down his face. He felt a slight caress of his face right before he fell asleep in his chair.
