I'm determined to get more chapters up. And I promise I'm gonna go back and edit all of the crappy mistakes I made when I first started this story. I would've had this up sooner but I have classes and also I suffer from chronic migraines which always get in the way when trying to write.

Harry Potter is not mine.

"Dumbledore, we need to talk."

Dumbledore looked at Serena and Harry, surprise evident on his face. He had no idea what they wanted to talk about. He expected the two young ones to come into his office unsure and confused about why he wanted them but it was clear that those two knew something that he didn't. Serena De Luca's eyes seemed to be brimming with secrets.

"What do you want to talk about Miss. De Luca?" Dumbledore didn't like being in the know, especially when it concerned Harry.

"It's Lady De Luca, as I have mentioned before." Serena's eyes narrowed. It annoyed her whenever someone refused to listen to her.

"Professor, I think it's time you stop meddling in our lives." Harry spoke up. "We have all the evidence that you've been tampering with Ginny and Ron. We have potions, drinks, and food. They can all be linked to you."

"I don't know what you mean Harry." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled but inside he was worried. He didn't know how they had gotten this evidence, he had been extremely careful. "Even if that was the case, it's all for the Greater Good."

Serena scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah whatever, that's all bull. I'm guessing you wanna know how we have all of this evidence? You wanna know all about how we know that you've been poisoning Ron and Ginny's minds, making them think that Harry and Hermione belong to them. Making them distrust me. Well?"

"I would like to know what led you to believe this." The pair were silent for a few seconds before Serena smirked.

"There's a prophecy I believe you may know about called the Founder's Children?" Serena tilted her head. Dumbledore froze, he had known about it but never thought that others had. "I'll take that as a yes. Well myself, Harry, Hermione, and Cedric went to Gringotts and we found out that the prophecy pertains to us."

The color drained from Dumbledore's face, he had not expected this. He grabbed a lemon drop and suddenly felt the need to grab something stronger when Serena and Harry took off the glamor's they had placed on their rings and marks that identified them as the Founder's Children. Harry not only wore his Gryffindor ring but also his Potter family ring. Serena's Slytherin mark stood out proudly against her alabaster skin and Albus could see not only her family ring but the Slytherin ring as well.

"Hogwarts listens to you now doesn't it?" Albus looked at the two young Founders. He finally understood why things had seemed off in the castle lately.

"Yes, not intentionally though." Serena was still guarded but something about Dumbledore seemed resigned.

"Lady De Luca, Lord Potter I thought what I have been doing was for the Greater Good." Dumbledore started to explain. "I believed that the prophecy made so long ago was still something to hold onto. I believed that Voldemort had made more horcruxes than he did but I was wrong. So yes, I did tamper with Miss and Mr. Weasley. I thought that Mr. Weasley would be the perfect husband for Miss. Granger and Miss. Weasley would be the perfect wife for you Lord Potter. People look to me for so much I think that I'm so used to being right."

Harry and Serena sat there unsure of what to say. This was the exact opposite of what they had expected would happen. Though they both were grateful that this was what happened.

"I understand Professor Dumbledore, the thing is you still messed with a lot of people's lives. Ron and Ginny will have to go to stay in the hospital wing until the potions have been flushed out of their system. I will be talking to Amelia Bones of the DMLE about this and also my father. You have too much on your shoulders Professor. If you had given the potions to any of us, the consequences would be a lot more severe." Serena looked at Dumbledore and he nodded in understanding. Inside she felt slightly bad but then she felt Cedric and he instantly comforted her.

"I understand Lady De Luca. I was trying to do what I believed the right thing and while I still think I could be right, I know that with the Founder's Children they are bonded. So with that I apologize." Dumbledore got up and poured a glass of fire whiskey. "I need to rethink some things, some decisions that I have made in my life. I will be taking some time to myself for a few days so if you see Minerva please tell her that I wish to see her. You may return to your dorms, I apologize for keeping you."

Harry and Serena left quickly, they hoped that two certain red heads weren't up in bed yet. Harry spotted Ron playing wizard's chess with Dean while Ginny was talking with a girl from her year. Serena nodded and slipped away. They had planned this out when Cedric first detected potions in Ron and Ginny's food so now all they have to do is try and get it to go over smoothly. Serena watched from the shadows as Harry approached Ginny and Hermione approached Ron. She had to give it to her fellow FC's, they would make great actors.

"Hey Ginny." Harry approached the red head, he made sure to come off unsure and shy. "I know it's close to curfew but would you like to take a walk with me?"

Ginny eagerly agreed. At the same time the Ravenclaw's Child was asking Ron the same question. Harry and Hermione took different routes but each would lead to the hospital wing. Harry used his gift of illusion to distract Ginny and Hermione used her gift of manipulating emotions to distract Ron. Serena sighed in relief as both Harry and Hermione were able to get the two into the hospital wing where Madame Pomfrey was waiting.

After the plan had been successful, the three FC's finally sat down in the common room. Hermione sat down in Harry's lap while Serena sat down on the floor. Serena played with a strand of hair, thinking briefly about cutting it. It had grown down to her butt and if she wasn't careful she would sit on it.

"That went better than expected." Harry said, breaking the silence. Serena looked up at Harry and nodded.

"Yeah I agree, hopefully this weekend will go smoothly as well." Serena shrugged. She tried to act calm about it but on the inside she was nervous.

"Dumbledore's not a threat, am I right?" Hermione asked.

"No, I think that after having so many responsibilities put on him he honestly thought he was doing the right thing." Harry said. "I believe that Serena's main concern is Bellatrix."

Harry and Hermione looked over at the young girl. Her gaze had hardened at the name, making her normally warm sapphire blue eyes seem cold.

"Bellatrix will not be getting away from me. She killed my aunt and uncle, she killed Carmen, and she tortured me. I won't care about who my father is the moment I see her. I will find Bellatrix and she will pay for what she's done." Serena said with a fierceness in her eyes.

Harry, Hermione, and Serena soon went up to their respective dorms. Serena was nervous about the upcoming weekend but knew that with not only her bond there as well as the other two FC's and her cousin that everything would be fine. She hoped.

I hope that this chapter was good, my migraine has been really messing with my thinking lately. Reviews are always appreciated! Until next time!
