Authors Note: Ok, before I start, there are a few things I wish to clear up.

1) I know Harry is supposed to say "Mum" not "Mom" but, I am unfortunately Canadian, and it drives me nuts to write Mum. I will try and remember to put

"Mum" but it's a challenge for me.

2) someone pointed out that Harry's parents shouldn't be as comfortable with Harry, since they really aren't that much older. So, let's just assume they've taken an aging potion or something. Also, Harry was unconscious for about a month, I think they'd be more comfortable with him by then. I also never liked writing "awkward" things, not even in school, so I just skipped that.

3) James might be traditional, but, he did marry a muggleborn, and a lot of traditional families frown upon that, but again, that also goes back into the "awkward" stuff I can't stand writing.

I think that's all. Thank you for the reviews, the good and the bad ones.

Chapter Ten – Discussions: Part Two

Godric's Hollow

Bacon, eggs, toast and coffee, these were the smells that woke Harry from his restful slumber. He slowly rose out of bed and stumbled in the general direction of the kitchen. He bumped into someone and fell back. He looked up and blinked, "Hello Sirius."

Sirius looked down at his godson in amusement, "Shouldn't you get dressed, and wake up, before you try and head to the kitchen?"

"Why would I do that?" Harry asked, with a devious grin, "That would be normal!"

With a chuckle Sirius reached down and helped Harry up, "I take it the smells woke you up?"

Harry nodded and continued toward the kitchen. When he entered, he headed straight for the table. He smiled at his parents, "Morning, Mum. Morning, Dad."

They smiled at him, then looked on in amusement as he filled his plate and began to wolf down his meal, "Hungry?" laughed Lily.

After breakfast, Harry headed back up to his room to shower. 'I've never told anyone the events of forth year, not everything,' he thought to himself, 'I think I should invite Hermione, Ron and Ginny over. They need to know. I will have to cast a secrecy spell on them if I tell them the whole prophecy, but do I want to tell it to them?'

Harry had finished getting ready and was passing to and fro in his room. While he had been training with the founders, he'd often sit down at the end of the day and ponder the prophecy. 'Power the dark lord knows not.' Harry was sure it was talking about his Elven Magic, Voldemort couldn't know it because he wasn't Elven himself. Harry suddenly stopped and pulled out his crystal, tapping it twice with his wand, he waited.

"Harry! You forgot to mention you were going home with your family," Ryle smiled.

"Yeah, sorry," Harry answered, "Ryle, does Voldemort have anyway of learning Elven Magic or being Elven?"

"No, he doesn't. You can't learn Elven Magic without an Elf, and even then, you need to have Elven blood for that to happen. Riddle has no elven relations. Why?" responded Ryle.

"Remember when I told you of the prophecy?" asked Harry.

-Begin Flashback-

Harry sat there at the dinner table, picking at his food. It had only been a month since he'd started training. Every chance he got he sat around and thought of the prophecy. The founders were a little worried. They weren't sure what was wrong with him. He got really quiet by the end of the day.

Harry suddenly spoke, startling the others from his thoughts, "Do you know of the prophecy?'

Rowena answered, "No, we don't. What prophecy?"

"There is a prophecy involving Voldemort and me. My headmaster told me what it was the night my godfather fell through the veil," said Harry.

"What is it Harry?" asked Helga.

Harry told them the prophecy and watched their reactions. Godric had lost all the color in his face, Salazar had pushed his plate away and was now staring at the table. Rowena and Helga looked slightly worried. Ryle just looked at Harry and spoke, "We'll figure it out, and you will win, Harry. We'll make sure of it."

-End Flashback-

Ryle's face lost all it's cheerfulness, "Yes, I do. Why?"

"I think that's the power. He doesn't have any Elven Blood or Magic. He doesn't know of it either, so…" Harry trailed off.

"So you can use it to vanquish him!" exclaimed Ryle.

Harry nodded, "Should I tell my friends about it? I'm going to tell my family, but, I think my friends should know as well."

Ryle smiled, "It's up to you, Harry. I have to go, Albus and I are planning some extra classes for the year."

"Can you find out if I can take my NEWTs before the end of summer? I'm pretty sure I could pass them all with marks to spare," asked Harry.

"I'll see what I can do. Go talk with your family," Ryle said before disappearing.

Harry put the crystal away and walked downstairs to the living room. His family was already waiting for him and he smiled, "Can you fire call and see if Hermione, Ginny and Ron can come? I think they need to hear about this for themselves."

James walked over to the fireplace and threw some floo powder into the hearth. He stuck his head in and spoke to someone for a few moments then pulled his head out. A few seconds later, Ron, Hermione and Ginny stepped out of the fire. Harry waved his hand, removing all the soot from their clothing then motioned for them to take a seat.

Harry took a deep breath and began, "I left off after third year last night. The summer before fourth year was interesting. The Weasley's invited me to the Quidditch World Cup, which I accepted. It was there I first learned of the Dark Mark. Using my wand someone had created it after the match. There had been death eaters terrorizing the camp site before, and when they saw the mark, they'd left. When we got to school, we found out about the Triwizard tournament. Students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming to Hogwarts, where the competition was to be held. The day the champions were chosen, there was a problem. Instead of three, there were four. Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, Cedric Diggory and me, "Harry's parents paled a little and Ron looked a little nervous. Harry continued, "Since I was the last chosen, naturally, everyone disliked me. Even Ron here turned on me at first."

"That was a mistake, Harry. And-" started Ron.

"I know, Ron. So everyone disliked me. They even made these Support Cedric Diggory badges that when you press changed and said 'Potter Stinks' which was rather creative if you ask me. The only support I had until after the first task, was Hermione. Hagrid cheated a bit, and showed me what the firs task would hold, and I told Cedric since the other champions found out from their professors. The first task held dragons. We had-"

"Dragons?!" cried out Lily, "You were only 14! They were 17! How could they?! You-"

"Were the youngest there and had no choice," interrupted Harry. He gave his mother a pointed look and continued, "For the first task we had to get past the dragon, and get a golden egg from her nest. Needless to say, it was rather difficult. I had absolutely no idea what to do. Sirius was going to tell me, but Ron came into the common room and ended that fire call. I got mad at him and threw a badge at his head and told him off," Harry blushed a little and looked at Ron, who was looking a little sheepish, "The next day was the first task. We had to pull out figurines of the dragon we were going against. I got the Hungarian Horntail, which, according to Charlie, was the fiercest out of the four. I was the last to go. Now, the day before, I made Hermione tutor me in the summoning charm, and we were up late into the night, making sure I got it right. So, when I got out there, I summoned my broom. Then I-"

Ron started, "He did the best flying anyone had ever seen! He flew around the Horntail, then went straight up. Since attacking him with her fire wasn't working she took off after him and then he did the best bloody Wronski Feint anyone had ever seen! It was even better then Krum's!"

Sirius laughed, "I remember the letter I got from Harry afterwards. It went into such detail about how he flew, it was amusing."

Harry glared, "I was injured. It's tail caught me in the shoulder and nicked it. While that was being healed, Ron came in and told me he thought someone was trying to do me in. I was rather sarcastic with that reply, but I forgave him anyway. It had sucked when he wasn't around. No offence, Hermione, but, I just don't sit around and do homework all the time."

"That's alright, Harry. You're absolutely no fun when it comes to homework. You just don't argue like Ron does," smirked Hermione.

With a chuckle Harry continued, "I refuse to talk about the Yule Ball," he glared at his friends who were about to talk, "The second task was a pain. I had to figure out the golden egg's riddle first. Cedric helped me out with it. He gave me the password to the prefects bathroom and told me to take a bath. Needless to say, that was the strangest advice I'd ever been given."

James stared, "You were given the password? Do you have any idea how long it took for us to get the password so we could get in there and mark it on the map!"

"Good job, kid, but why did he help you?" asked Sirius.

"I told him about the dragons. Anyway, I took a bath. Did you know Moaning Myrtle spies on the boys in there?" the men in the room looked horrified, causing Harry to grin before he continued, "She's the one who told me to put it under the water, then go under the water to listen to it. The wailing became a song then. It told me someone had taken something precious from me, and it'd be in the lake. It was great when I figured that out, that lasted about five seconds though."

James looked confused, why? I'd figure that'd be a fantastic thing, you figured it out, so you go into the lake and get whatever it is, right?"

Lily nodded, "Seems simple enough to me."

Harry snorted, "It would've been great, but, I didn't know how to swim very well. Dudley got lessons, and I didn't. Petunia and Vernon were probably hoping I'd drown or something. So, I had to go searching for ways to breathe underwater," Harry glared at his mother and father who were about to talk, "I didn't even figure that out till about 5 minutes before the second task started. I'd fallen asleep in the library, and Dobby woke me up. He was going on about my 'Wheezy' and needing to save him. He stole gillyweed for me from Snape's office. I was the last to get to the lake, but the firs to where the 'things' were being held. Ron, Hermione, Cho Chang and Gabrielle, Fleur's sister, were there. I had to save Ron, even though I was the first one there, I was the last to leave," he was interrupted again.

"Well, that's Harry for you. He waited to make sure everyone was saved then left," Ron snorted, "Never mind the fact Dumbledore wouldn't have let anything happen to anyone."

"True, but, I didn't know that," Harry said with a blush, "So, I tied with Cedric for first at the end of the second task, and had to wait till June for the third. Meanwhile, Sirius had come back to the country, and we had to feed him."

"I'd been living off rats. It was horrible. Well, it would've been horrible, if I hadn't been hoping I'd catch Wormtail," Sirius said with a smirk.

"Well, too bad you didn't," Harry said, "Anyway, the third task was to make it through the maze and get the cup. There were creatures and traps in it. I had to help Cedric, then we helped Fleur when she was attacked by Viktor. Cedric and I got to the cup at the same time, and argued over who should take the cup, when I decided we should take it together. When we grabbed it, we discovered it was a portkey," Harry stopped for a moment and took a breath. Hermione, Ginny and Ron moved closer to him then. Hermione and Ginny wrapped an arm around him each, Ron simply sat near him for support. Harry gave them a grateful look and continued, "We weren't sure if it was apart of the task, but we pulled our wands out anyway. Suddenly my scar burst into pain, and a high, cold voice said, 'Kill the spare.' The killing curse was muttered, and Cedric fell dead beside me," Harry had tears steaming down his face now, "Before I could comprehend what was happening I was pulled to my feet and tied to a headstone. I couldn't move to save my life, literally. I had to watch Wormtail as he resurrected Voldemort. Bone of the father, flesh of the servant and blood from the enemy," Harry rolled up his sleeve and showed the scar he'd received that night, "Voldemort called his death eaters to him and bragged about how he didn't really die, he lecture them for not finding and helping him. He then challenged me to a duel. I had two of the three unforgivables placed on me. I broke through his Imperius Curse, but not the Cruciatus, he placed that on me twice," Harry shuddered, "He cast the killing curse at the same time I cast the disarming curse. Little below my level, but it worked. Since our wands have the same core, they can't be used against each other. So it created, Priori Incantatem, and shadows from spells he'd cast before. Wormtail's new hand came out, then Cedric, a man, Bertha Jorkins then…" Harry faltered for a moment, "then…Dad and Mum came," he said with a whisper, "They told me that they'd slow Voldemort down so I could leave, after I broke the connection. Cedric asked me to take his body back to his parents, and I did," Harry paused and closed his eyes. He seemed to be completely lost in his memories, "When I got back, Moody took me to his office, and questioned me, then told me about how he'd helped Voldemort. Dumbledore showed up before he could kill me. After I found out it was Crouch Jr. He and Wormtail had kidnapped Moody and locked him in his own trunk, even used Polyjuice potion to pose as him for the entire year. After finding out he full story, I was taken to the hospital wing, where Fudge refused to believe me. I met with the Diggory's, and they wouldn't take the gold. I gave it to the twins," Harry stopped talking.

Ron spoke then, "The Great Hal was decked in black, and Dumbledore warned the students at the End Of The Year feast. The next day we went home."

"I went and looked for the old crowd. First I had to explain everything to them, then tell them what I'd been told at Hogwarts," said Sirius, "I had to stay with Remus, before Dumbledore got hold of my mother's old place."

James sighed, "Do I want to even know what happened fifth year?"

"Well, I died," Sirius said.

James choked on the tea he was drinking, "What?!"

"I feel through the Veil, you know, the thing we came out of?" said Sirius.

"Mum, Dad, why do you look Sirius's age?!" asked Harry.

Hermione was the one to answer, "Oh really. Harry, aging-potions!"

"Yeah mate, mind you, it was really weird. Watching them get older in just a few minutes," said Ron.

Harry nodded, "The summer before fifth year was…err…different? I got smacked around by the Dursley's, but Dudley and I were attacked by Dementors. I was tried in the full court for that."

"A full court?!" screeched Lily.

Harry shrugged, "Dumbledore helped me out of that one, but he refused to look at me. I got off on that one, thought it was close. I spent the rest of the summer at Grimmauld Place. When we got back to Hogwarts, we found the Ministry had hired our new Defense teacher. She was absolutely useless. We only studied from our books. Even Hermione got sick of that. I kept getting detentions for not saying what the Ministry wanted us to believe. She used these quills that cut into the back of my hand," Harry held out his hand and his father grabbed it.

'I must not tell lies' was carved into the back of his sons hand. He was furious, "What happened to her?"

"I'm getting there, I still have to explain the rest of the year. The Ministry made Umbridge, High Inquisitor. So she made rules and evaluated the teachers. I think she had a crush on Snape, which was…is disturbing to think about. During the year, Hermione talked me into teaching Defense. The spells part, so we had people from all houses, except Slytherin, joining this club. We called it 'Dumbledore's Army' because Fudge feared that the most," Harry smirked, "Hermione, wrote up a sign-up list and insisted that everyone sign it. We didn't find out why till the day Dumbledore was removed from Hogwarts. She at jinxed the paper. When someone told on us the work 'sneak' showed up on their forehead. It looked horrible, but it was efficient. Dumbledore took the blame for the club, and was sacked. Mind you, it was great. He refused to go quietly. He stunned the guards and left. After that we had OWLs, during the Astronomy Exam, Hagrid was attacked, he escaped with Fang, but Professor McGonagall was stunned and had to go to St. Mungo's," Harry stopped talking here and looked to his friends. They all nodded and took up the story for him. He got up and left the room.

Hermione began, "After the History Exam, Harry swore he had a vision of Voldemort torturing Sirius."

Sirius paled, "That's why he went?!"

Ron nodded, "Hermione and him argued about it, till they finally decided to use a fireplace. They talked to Kreacher and he told them that Sirius was gone. It wasn't until later that we found out he'd been upstairs helping Buckbeak after Kreacher attacking him."

Ginny took up the story here, "Umbridge and her little band of Slytherins dragged us to her office where she demanded to know who they called. They wouldn't answer. She then told us about sending Dementors to attack Harry and threatened to use the Cruciatus Curse on Harry."

"I spoke up then, and said that Dumbledore had hidden something in the forest. During the year the centaurs had become increasingly violent, I was hoping they'd help us, and they did. They then turned and were going to attack us, but Hagrid's brother, Grawp, helped us," said Hermione.

"Neville, Luna, Ginny, and I headed out to find them. We'd taken care of Umbridge's little followers and needed to help Harry and Hermione. We got out there, and they were arguing about how to get to the Ministry. We used Threstrals to get there. Only Luna, Neville and Harry could see them, we had to rely on them to help us onto them. So, we flew there," Ron said.

"I never want to do that again. It was horrible, you couldn't see what you were flying on," interrupted Ginny, "When we got there, Ron practically kissed the ground."

Hermione smiled a little, "We got into the Ministry, and headed to the Department of Mysteries. We got there, and found no one. There were prophecy's, and one had Harry's name, so he picked it up. As soon as he did, death eater's surrounded us."

"They tried to take the prophecy, but that didn't work. WE refused to, and fought back, we all got separated," said Ron.

From behind them a voice spoke, "I was supposed to be leaving after the Order Members showed up, but I couldn't. I'd seen Sirius battling Lestrange, taunting her and everything," everyone turned around to see Harry. His eyes were glass like, and he didn't seem to be aware of anything around him, "Then she threw a spell and he fell through the Veil. He looked surprised, and I was devastated. Remus stopped me from going after him, but when I broke away I went after Bella. I attempted to cast the Cruciatus Curse on her. It didn't work. She taunted me about it. I didn't like causing people pain and all that, so I couldn't do it. Dumbledore and Voldemort dueled, and Voldemort possessed me," Harry took a breath, "I begged Dumbledore to kill me. It wasn't until I started thinking about Sirius that I was able to force Voldemort out."

Sirius moved across the room and hugged Harry, whispering apologies as he did. He'd never felt so horrible then he did right then and there.

"When we got back, Dumbledore told me the prophecy. He'd heard the entire thing, which is why Trelawney works at Hogwarts. She's said two prophecies that have come into play. The first one was mine, and the second one was Voldemort's return," Harry looked at them, "Before I tell you the prophecy involving Voldemort and I, I want to place a spell on you. You won't be able to talk about it with anyone outside of this room."

Lily spoke, "We already know it, Harry."

"No. You only know the first half," Harry responded.

Everyone glanced at each other, then looked at Harry and nodded. Harry waved his hand and hissed something in parseltongue. A pale blue light emitted from Harry and spread through the room touching everyone. Then he spoke, slowly and calmly, "'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies … and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not … and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives … the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies …' " he said.

"That could be anyone!" cried out Hermione, "I mean, Neville was born around that time, wasn't he?!"

" 'The Dark Lord will mark him as his equal' " Harry spoke. He lifted his bangs and showed them the famous scar, "He chose me as his equal."

Ron stared at him, "So you either kill or be killed? Remind me again why I was jealous of you?"

At Ron's comment the room laughed a little. Lily got up and hugged Harry, "Have you figured out the power?"

"My Elven Magic. He doesn't have it. I think I could kill him with a spell from them, but I need to talk to Ryle," Harry said. Suddenly he grinned and turned to Hermione, "I might be needing your help."

She blinked at him for a moment then spoke, "With what?"

"Since I've already learned everything I can learn, Ryle is going to talk to Dumbledore about me taking my NEWTs before the end of summer," he replied with a grin.

"Harry! You're kidding, right?!" asked Remus.

Everyone stared at him as he shook his head. Just as Harry was about to say something, the fire roared to life and Ryle stepped out, "Harry! You take your NEWTs next week!"

"Really?!" said Harry, "I just finished telling them I might be taking them before school starts."

Ryle nodded, but wasn't paying attention, "Hello Lily."

Lily stared at him for a moment, "Uhm. Hello?"

Ryle smiled, "I'm your oldest living relative."

James blinked, "so you're her great-great-something grandfather, right?"

Ryle nodded, "Yep."

"Let's go out!" cried Harry, "We need to do something."

Everybody nodded and got ready then headed to Diagon Alley.

-Voldemort's hideout-

Voldemort paced his room in a fury. He'd been trying to break into Potter's mind for the past few weeks, and had not succeeded. He knew the boy knew what the prophecy contained. He stopped pacing suddenly and grinned evilly.

"LUCIUS!" he bellowed. Voldemort watched as Lucius Malfoy entered the room and fell to his knees before him, "Give me your arm," Voldemort ordered. He pressed his bony finger to the mark on Lucius's arm. Lucius gasped in pain and watched as it turned an angry dark.

All around the room people began appearing, falling to there knees as soon as they arrived. Lucius stepped into his place in the inner circle, beside Snape. Voldemort walked through the room staring into his servants eyes one at a time, going through their minds and testing their loyalty. When he was finished he turned and walked to his throne.

"I want the Weasley boy."

Note: My beta's are still missing. So, again, this is un-beta'ed! I'm already writing the next chapter.
