Dissclaimer: I do not own the charecters, blah blah blah..
The flight to Hogwarts was uncomfortable, but I had to hurry. I made it
there, cold and wet. I had to go through some clouds to avoid being seen.
Dumbledore had received my letter and had someone waiting for me, the new
Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, Fleur Delacour. I was grateful as
she led me to Dumbledore's office. I had been to his office before when I
attended there to deliver news of students misbehaving, but now I had a
more urgent message.
Fleur said the password (lollipop) and I walked in.
Dumbledore was waiting for me on his chair. Fleur left at Dumbledore's
bidding for privacy.
I cannot remember the whole conversation in detail, but I shall do my best.
Dumbledore: Sit down. You certainly came here in a great hurry. Your owl
arrived just a bit before you!
I sat down in from of the seated headmaster.
Dumbledore, with a grin: so tell me what is going on. You obviously didn't
come here to pay a visit to your dear teachers!
I didn't know how to begin, or what to say. It seemed like forever since I
had been in the same room as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's servant.
Dumbledore must have sensed how I was feeling from the silence because he
said: It would be best if you start at the beginning.
I wondered what exactly the beginning was. I began at the part where He-
Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's servant walked into my office as Mr. Crouch. I was
too embarrassed to tell Dumbledore what I was about to do when he walked
in. I got to the part where Voldemort offered me his partnership. It
became hard for me to read his reaction. I paused to see if he had any
comments.
He finally spoke: I find it surprising that he would make such an offer to
you. He might have reasoned that you wanted the position of Minister of
Magic, and if he can offer that to you, that would bind your loyalty to
him. He may have been spying on you through Wormtail, but there is no
proof that you would ever be violent or harm anyone during your term in
office because of your ambition.
I wondered if the Headmaster could see through me, and see how I had hate
for my brothers, and jealous of their content-ness with their lives. Or
the hate I had for myself. I finally confessed how I before was going to
wend my life, when I really wanted revenge on my brothers. I revealed how
I felt about my brothers. I ranted about how their pitiful lives look
better than mine, and my jealousy of their happiness. It all steamed out.
And as I talked, I began to calm down, instead of getting worked up. If
felt good to be telling someone how I felt. I finally got to the point
about the thoughts of ending my life, and told Dumbldore that Mr.Crouch/
Wormtail had walked in at the exact moment of what I was deciding.
When I was finished, Dumbledore didn't seem surprised. He said: indeed,
your thoughts of suicide would be evidence enough of your. unhappiness.
However, Voldemort wouldn't have seen it that way. He would have perceived
those thoughts as the effect of your violent ambition. Because you could
not get what you want, you kill yourself to cause suffering to those that
love you, the exact people that you envied. You see, (Dumbledore had an
odd glimmer in his eye), Voldemort thinks that people are motivated solely
by greed and ambition. He is unable to think how a loved person would act.
That is one of his flaws. He wasn't able to imagine that you were just
longing for fun and happiness, because to him, happiness is found in
other's suffering. Now, what was your response to Voldemort?
I replied: I rejected it. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was very surprised that
I refused, and put the Imperious Curse on me. I fought it. He was
enraged. He then. (I did not like recollecting this memory) he then tried
to kill me with the Killing Curse.
I looked at Dumbledore. He seemed a bit unmoved as he registered this fact
in his mind. He then said: Well, go on with the story. It obviously
failed, since you are here with me, and you aren't a ghost.
I told him about the ruby bubble, and how it was shielding me when I opened
my eyes. I described how I was able to grab my wand and Apperate home. I
then flew to Hogwarts. I stopped and looked at Dumbledor, waiting for the
explanation that would surely come.
Dumbledor sighed: This is quite a mystery to me, but I can make some very
educated guesses from what I know. And that is that your time had not come
yet. You have something to do before the end of your life. It seems that
you have finally found your true calling. Or at least, you have the same
calling, but for a different purpose. You see, you had always wanted to
succeed because of your self-centered ambition. Now you want it for a
different reason; to help others. And just when you think you have it all
together and know all there possibly is to know, you more another
surprising discovery about yourself. I have another revelation that will
clear things up further. This will also bring further understanding about
you and your family. You are the heir of Gryffindore.
I almost fainted. This was too much in one night. Dumbledor waited for me
to control myself, to at least close my mouth before a wasp goes down my
throat. He continued to explain: Everyone in your family is a
Gryffindore, and your family is one of the oldest pureblood families.
However, your family is characteristically unique to think that there is
nothing special about being pureblood. Your parents wanted their children
to be raised like any other family and so their children could learn that
there is no difference between the so-called purebloods and other wizards
and witches. The power that you harnessed comes from your lineage. It
awake because you learned the truth about what truly makes you happy. That
is the power of Gryffindore. Before you were blind to your ambition. Now
you are complete and can learn the true extent of your power. Your time
for death was not destined for that time, just when you had learned what
you wanted in life. Your purpose in life was to learn this, and then carry
out your mission.
My head was swimming. It all suddenly made such perfect sense. The
enimity between Father and Malfoy. Father's fondness for Muggles and their
things. Why our whole family was a Griffindore.
But some pieces to the puzzle didn't fit.
Why did He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, the Heir of Slytherin, seek an alliance
with the Heir of Griffindore?
N/ a- although Voldemort did send an owl to Mad-Eye Moody/Mr. Crouch to warn him that Percy was going to Hogwarts, the owl did not arrive in time because they couldn't just Summon an owl
Sorry it took me long to update! I was busy and kept forgetting. ^_^
