Chapter 12

August 21st 9:30 am

"WHAT!?!" Snape yelled at Dumbledore, the Headmaster just sat and waited for the Harry's reply

"You're insane Dumbledore, you are fucking insane! You want me to create something that I am trying to destroy!?" Harry burst out, livid that Dumbledore would even suggest it.

"Yes, think about it Harry, immortality. ! If you die I can bring you back and you can fight Voldemort and save our world! What if you die during the duel? What if you kill off Tom but you die as well? Do you not want a second chance at a happy life?" Dumbledore said passionately as he stood up from his seat.

The wheels in Harry's head started to turn, 'I need more information.' he thought to himself. If his plan is to work he is going to need every advantage he could get. "I don't even know the process of making a Horcrux."

Snape looked at Harry "You can't be serious Potter! You can't seriously be considering making one of these vile things! If you do you will be no better then than the Dark Lord!"

"Shut it Snape! Just shut it!" Harry replied, annoyed at the spy. Snape calmed himself and stared daggers at both Harry and Dumbledore.

"Actually Harry you do, it is actually an rather easy process. Remember Tom's memories? Just follow the steps he took and that will allow you to create a Horcrux." Dumbledore said as he stood in front of the young man.

"So, I murder someone and I basically will my soul to split and to go into an object? That is insanely easy, how is it that every lowlife out in the world doesn't have one?" Harry asked the Headmaster.

"It's not common knowledge, plus you have to murder, you have to intentionally kill someone. You must plan and take all the rage you keep have kept shut away and put it into a hate-filled Avada Kedavra." Dumbledore said wisely "So, what do you say Harry? Will you be willing to make a Horcrux?"

Harry started to pace back and forth 'Alright so making the Horcrux is actually easy, but will I be able to do it?' he said to himself 'Can I do it? Can I do this and save myself from death?' he thought as he continued to pace.

"Harry?" Dumbledore asked

"I'm sorry Headmaster, I can't make a Horcrux. I just can't murder someone to split my soul, that is a sin against nature." Harry said calmly and started to walk away.

A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face "Harry, you have passed!" He said

Harry turned around and looked at Dumbledore confused "Passed? What are you going on about? Was this all some type of sick test?"

"Yes Harry it was a test and you passed with flying colours!" Dumbledore said went and sitting down, Harry turned to look at Snape and saw that he too was smiling as well.

"Alright you two spill it!" Harry snapped at his teachers. "What's this all about?"

"Well it started after the ritual yesterday. I looked into your eyes and I saw the darkness creeping into you, it should not have happened. The ritual was to cleanse your body of evil, but it seems that it instead has integrated the soul fragment's power with yours. This is all a theory of course, ; we will probably never know what happened but either way I had to know if you were going to lose yourself in the dark arts. That is why I suggested that you make a Horcrux, if you had agreed; I would have had to stop your dark arts training and try to sway you back into the light. I am glad that you proved me wrong." He smiled at Harry.

"Alright so let me get his straight, you and Snape orchestrated this whole meeting just to see if I was going bad? Bloody waste of time if you ask me but you had to do it I guess, so the attack and all that was made up?" Harry asked them as he leaned against the door.

"No, the attack will happen. So best be prepared Harry, now go. I have to speak with Severus." Dumbledore said as he ended the meeting.

"I'll be in my room if I'm needed." Harry said as he turned and left.

August 21st 10:00 am

Harry walked into his room and sat down at his desk. "Damn it! Dumbledore knows something happened during the exorcism." Harry sighed and slumped down in his seat "At least he doesn't know what I did so I lucked out."

Harry stood and went to his bookshelf he grabbed a book that the Shade had told him about. To have it lying around the Restricted Section was a mistake on Dumbledore's part. What if Crabbe or someone just as stupid had gotten their hands on it? That would be disastrous, sitting back down and opening 'Secrets of the Darkest Art' he turned to the page and skimmed the tome to see if he could find something interesting. As he was turning the pages of the ancient book he landed on a section detailing Horcrux creation. Harry smiled "Oh this is just divine intervention it just has to be. They will never know what hit them." and he started to laugh a laugh nearly identical to the one of Lord Voldemort.

August 22nd 12:45 pm

*Greengrass Manor*

"Daphne! Daphne! Where are you?!" a young girl was yelling as she walked down the halls of the Ancestral home of the Greengrass family.

"Will you quiet down Astoria?! I'm in my room!" Daphne yelled at her little sister from the desk as she was writing a letter to Harry,.

"Finally,! I've been looking all over the place for you! Let's go for a walk, it's such a beautiful day today. Too beautiful to be cooped up in your room writing love letters to Harry Potter." Astoria told Daphne with a smug look on her face.

"They are not love letters! I've must have told you Merlin knows how many times! Did mother put you up to this?!" Daphne yelled, she was frustrated with not only her mother but also her sister and father. When her mother let it slip at the dinner table that she and Harry had started to exchange letters almost daily, Astoria would constantly tease her and her father Dedrik Alexander Greengrass had started mentioning marriage contracts of something along those lines. Daphne was at wits end.

"No, daddy did!" Astoria said as she started to giggle

"Get out! Just get out!" Daphne screamed as she pushed her sister out of her room, she returned to her desk and started to think about the young man who she was writing to.

She hated to admit it but she could not get him out of her head. His letters told her about living with muggles and how their world was vastly different compared to the wizarding world. She was also told about the dark events that happened at Hogwarts and how he has had had to fight for his life every year he had attended. In truth she was horrified that he had to fight and defeat Voldemort in some incarnation year after year, add that to the fact that his godfather was the notorious Sirius Black and Daphne thought she was ready for all of Harry Potter's surprises. She was wrong, when she was told that he had become the head of the Black family and Potter family she almost passed out. She would not admit that she was in love but, if they decided to take things further then she could be the power behind the throne so to speak. "Behind every great man is a great woman" she mumbled as she thought about the possibility of a Potter-Greengrass alliance.

"Well I'll just have to wait and see when we get back at school. Now where is my owl? I bet Tracey is just dying to hear some gossip about Potter and myself." Daphne continued to talk to herself as she went to find her owl.

August 21st 1:33 pm

Ron Weasley was outside the Burrow sitting against an apple tree, as he sat in the shade the kept thinking back to the day that his friendship with Harry had come to an end. He regretted it but he would never admit it to anyone "He used a dark spell to attack me and he insulted my family. He was a horrible friend." he convinced himself he was right and started to wonder what he would say to him when school started up again in the Fall.

"I'm going to confront him and see what the hell is wrong with him. The D.A. isIs already going to vote him out because of what he did, I'm glad I sent out those letters." he said to himself

"I bet they're going to make me the head of the D.A. After after he gets the boot." he started to laugh

what What Ronald did not know is that by the time school started he would come face to face with a new Harry Potter, one that would not appreciate his attempts to undermine his influence.
