The Known Truth
Ch 10
Hey there Kaya here. This is the very last chapter so read it! Read it and love it!
I do not own harry potter.
Harry was walking down a forest path, as regal and gracefully as a human possibly can be. He almost seamed for elf than human at that point. The tree's swayed towards him with every step and harry laughed as he sat down leaning against the very same tree where Devlin had first talked to him.
The past months where the hardest most grueling harry had ever gone through, Voldemort had shown him and put him through every light and dark curse the world could conceive, save the killing curse and harry had already survived that.
Now he was eager to rest for a while and simply lay against his favorite tree and think about what he was about to do. Tomorrow, it would all end tomorrow. Dumbledore would pay for his mistakes and Tom had already dropped out of the war.
Tom was a smart man, he knew he couldn't face harry. Not in a fight or in government, so tom had simply vanished and now the death eaters where Harry's personal guards. Much to, some of their disgust. Tom, much as he tried to deny it, had taken a liking to 'young Mr Potter' despite harry no longer being a potter.
Harry sighed a little and ran a hand through his hair, thinking. How did he tell tom? COULD he tell tom? Of course he could he just had to figure out how.
"Hey tom guess what..." harry muttered under his breath shaking his head. How the hell did you just come out and tell someone that? You didn't that's how. Harry sighed and shook his head standing up and heading back to 'camp' patting the tree as he passed. It was now or never.
He settled down next to the small campfire Voldemort making a small meal over it watching harry with a small frown, as if harry puzzled him.
"You've been odd lately." Voldemort stated watching harry who shrugged snapping his fingers creating a shower of sparks grinning a bit.
"Tom...we need to talk, or rather, I do." Harry admitted Voldemort blinking at him frowning, suspicious. "When we where in second year you told me something, well your memory did."
"Is that so?" Voldemort asked his fingers gripping his wand softly watching him.
"He said that we where alike in many ways." Harry stated prodding the fire with a stick watching embers flutter around.. "that we even looked alike. That's when I first got suspicious, a niggling thought in the back of my mind that just wouldn't go away."
"Harry, what are you going on about?" Voldemort demanded clutching his wand even harder.
"i started to dig, finding things Dumbledore never bothered to hide, because he never expected me to look for them. When Sirius died he confirmed everything. And I...was scared." Harry admitted Voldemort gulping a bit.
"My mother," harry said softly. "Was Merope Riddle." harry whispered softly Voldemort's eyes widening in a way that was most unlike him. "she got married, found another respected muggle, only this one actually loved her. Mathews his name was. Brother to Mia and Maya Mathews."One of which was dating one Severus Snape. I forget which." Harry explained.
"Dumbledore killed her the day I was born, then killed Mia, Maya, their parents and their brother to keep it hidden. No one found out until now." harry glanced at tom to see how he was taking the news. Harry couldn't tell. "While Shane was a muggle, or rather a squib, Mia and Maya where not." harry explained and Voldemort stood suddenly.
"You..are my brother." Voldemort said, almost demanded and Harry nodded. "And Dumbledore killed my mother?" Voldemort demanded again and again harry nodded. "And then replaced the dead potter baby with you?" again he nodded. "Why did you just..not say.."
"Would you have believed me? Would you have cared?" harry demanded frowning a bit and Voldemort hesitated before shaking his head.
"No, I wouldn't have." he agreed softly holding his hand over his eyes, unsure of what he was feeling, or what he was even supposed to feel. Lord Voldemort wasn't very good with emotions after all.
"I'll go then." Harry said standing. "let you think." harry said Voldemort laughing.
"To quote you, thinking gives me a migraine." Voldemort stated simply Harry grinning heading for Devlin who was sitting at the edge of the clearing.
"So you finally told him." Devlin stated and Harry grimaced.
"Yeah, dunno how he's taking it though." Harry admitted. "he's about as emotional as I am after all." harry said with a wry grin Devlin chuckling and shaking his head.
"Just let him alone for a while, he'll figure himself out." Devlin said with a grin and harry chuckled and nodded heading into the main village. It wasn't anything that muggles could see and it was in the thickest tangle of the woods where humans rarely walked anyways. Huts lined the path and settled int the tree's all over and harry grinned leaning on Devlin.
"Tomorrow it all ends. The war is done." he muttered Devlin grinning.
"No matter who wins, the war is done." Devlin agreed and harry chuckled. "mind if I borrow your battle robes Dev?" Harry asked smiling. "i think I'm going to need them." Devlin laughed and nodded and went into a hut to let harry try the said item on.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
it was the next day, the next morning really. He was approaching the school from Hogsmead his battle robes, simple looking but with red smeared all over it almost decoratively. Red for blood, red for battles, red for war and, red for life. An Elf custom Dumbledore most likely wouldn't know.
As he stepped into the school grounds there was a flurry of movement. The students had been waiting for him, since harry had sent a letter officially requesting a duel with Dumbeldore. The man had to accept and now the entire student body was out to see, and so was every news reporter int eh wizarding world.
"Good morning." Harry said smiling slightly Ron and Hermione running foreward to slam into him from the front.
"HARRY! Oh god we where so worried!" Hermione sobbed into his shoulder Ron looking him over for injuries.
"Merlin mate, are you really going to face Dumbledore!? Can you really win!? There must be a better way come on don't do this!"
"I have to Ron. You'll understand in a moment. As soon as that old coot gets his ass down here." harry said giving them each a hug. "And if you never want to speak to me afterwords I'll understand. You should go find a safe place, it will be starting soon."
Ron and Hermione nodded as Dumbledore and the Teachers strode out of the school everyone tensing as they waited with bated breath. Harry was the first person to make a move once Dumbledore had stopped walking,
"Good morning Headmaster." Harry greeted Dumbledore nodding his own greeting. "Before we begin there are a few things I wish to talk to you about Albus." Harry admitted his eyes flashing dangerously and Dumbledore tensed. He had known this would happen, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. For the first time in his life Dumbledore felt helpless.
"Dumbledore is a fraud." Harry stated simply pointing at the man as he began to explain what the man had done, more and more words spilled form Harry's mouth and with every minute Dumbledore was getting redder and redder, more and more angry as the mutterings from the crowd grew into an enraged roar.
"it was for the good of the wizarding world!" Dumbledore yelled only to be drowned out by the outraged yells of the students and harry laughed and shook his head.
"Your a fool." Harry said his wand out all of a sudden and Dumbledore snarled. "And you will pay for your crimes against me and the wizarding world." harry growled his eyes narrowed As Dumbledore pulled his wand out as well.
"If you think you can beat me child you are sorely mistaken."
"I carry your blood Dumbledore, and your magic. I am already stronger than you!" Harry growled back as they bowed and took their stances watching each other waiting for one or the other to strike. Dumbledore made the first move his mind smashing against Harry's well guarded mind and Harry snarled striking back with a wave of his wand.
"Expeliarmus." Harry yelled giving his wand a flourish Dumbledore hissing as he gave his wand a flick sending harry flying back a few feet. All words stopped in that instant as the spells got darker and Dumbledore got more and more desperate.
It was rather startling to see how completely outclassed that Dumbledore was harry flinging spell after spell, flames and dragons made of water striking at Dumbledore who was struggling just to defend against harry the entire world silent as they waited to see the results of the battle.
Blow after blow rained among the school grounds as Dumbledore suddenly started tossing the killing curse, Harry yelping as he dove out of the way. And ran forwards. Dumbledore was so desperate he was putting the people at risk around him, completely uncaring. Harry wasn't about to let that stand.
"Sectumsempra!" Harry hissed waving his wand red splashing against the ground as Dumbledore was cut open the old man stumbling. "Expeliarmus!" harry snarled Dumbledore flying back a bit as his wand hit Harry's open hand. "Face it old man. You've lost." Harry stated simply.
Dumbledore had never looked so old as he did now, week and defeated he simply laid there as wizards gathered Dumbledore up and carted him off. First to the hospital, and then later to a cell for a trial. Which he would be found guilty.
"Harry!" Hermione yelled as harry staggered, exhausted from the overuse of his magic. Hermione and Ron quickly supported harry on their shoulders looking worried.
"Hold on mate, we'll get you to the hospital wing." Ron said Hermione gulping.
"It's He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." she whimpered as Voldemort strode into the school grounds heading straight for harry people backing far away from harry as Voldemort stopped in front of harry.
"Congratulations harry." Voldemort said his lip twitching into a grin. "You just ended a war without any loss of lives." Harry snorted.
"Too many had died during the war, I didn't want anymore people to suffer." harry said with a shrug Ron and Hermione staring at Voldemort wide eyed.
"As agreed, I am backing out of the war myself. The death eaters are disbanded and unmarked." Harry nodded grinning.
"Where will you go?" He asked, worried for his brother and Voldemort paused.
"i think, that I will go home." he admitted heading away and Harry grinned letting Ron and Hermione lead him inside.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Years later:
Harry sighed as he stared at the stack of paperwork on his desk slightly annoyed. Why did the minister of magic have to WORK so much!? As the youngest minister of magic the world had ever seen harry had created a rein of peace for wizards and muggles alike.
Voldemort had practically dropped off the map but a deliciously hot man by the name of Tom Riddle had just become headmaster of Hogwarts. Harry had to laugh at that, it was ridiculous.
Draco was now the quidditch captain of some random hotshot team and was now father to almost five kids. Five, really!? Harry wondered when pansy was gonna have the blond nuetered.
Blaise was an Aurer, ironically enough, he was quickly working his way up the ladder and was now in the running to be 'the big man in charge'
Hermione was now a healer in between teaching arithmacy at Hogwarts, she and Ron, who was on Draco's quidditch team, had gotten hitched and where expecting their first baby.
Harry and Ginny had gotten married and much to Voldemort's disgust they showed no signs of having children anytime soon.
"Harry James Mathews Riddle Potter!" speak of the devil. Harry grinned shoving his paperwork away to great his brother wondering what he was in trouble over this time. "What is the meaning of trying to castrate Draco!?"
"That would be pansy." Harry corrected Voldemort pausing.
"Then why was Draco so certain it was you?"
"Because it was me." Harry said smirking Voldemort's eye twitching.
"And pray tell when are YOU going to sire offspring!?"
"When are you?"
"I would need a wife, or at least a girlfriend first." Voldemort stated. "and your avoiding the subject."
"It will happen when it happens." Harry replied grinning, wondering if he should tell his brother that his wife was pregnant with twins. Naaah.
THE HAPPY ENDING
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA you all thought his dad was SNAAAPE! XDD
for the record I was going to have his dad be Voldemort, but I changed it halfway through because it just seamed to fit better if harry was Tom's brother.
