A/N: - I don't own Harry Potter.
Ch 8 Revelations and Reactions
I had asked Mum and Dad to invite everyone home for lunch as I had something very important to share, Mum and Dad questioned me but I told them I would like to share it with everyone at the same time and sometime seeing my stubbornness they agreed and I was glad that I will have to tell everyone at same time.
During lunch everyone was talking and conversing, I was glad for Occlumency, as I was able to hide my nervousness and fear about reactions of everyone when I reveal the truth. I was afraid of rejection, anger and upset looks I would get from James and Lily but I knew it is right decision and the decision that will change future.
After lunch everyone entered parlour and all were waiting for me to start but before I could start, I noticed someone was not there, and I had expected Alex would not come. After what had happened at the party, I got to know how much they hated me and wanted to do nothing related to me.
So, I decided it was time to tell the truth.
"I want to tell that whatever happens after I tell the truth and how people react that these past few months have been the best months of life."
"What is it, Harry? You are scaring us." James asks.
"Dad there are some secrets I have kept and I want to come clean today. In these past months after I was able to fix my core problem, I got to meet family I always wanted and every moment was best moments, I have lived in my nineteen years of life."
"What do you mean by 19, you are only 11 years old?" Lily asks.
"Mum, what do think of multiverse?" Harry asks.
"Multiverse mean there are multiple planets but at different planets there are different situations. As in 'THE FLASH' comics I have read brought by mom from muggle store." Violet replies.
"Yes Violet, the truth is I am Harry James Potter but I am not your son Harry, Mum and Dad. I am Harry James Potter, Boy-Who-Lived of my Earth, Master of Death and Death's Champion and I know it's a lot to take in but it is truth and soul of your son is dead and there are many reasons why I did everything but I am telling the truth and I am going to share my complete life with all of you but before I will take all kids with me in the room and leave you all to discuss. Come on Rose, Violet, Daniel and Orion, I have some gifts for you all. Mum, Dad don't worry I will not harm them. Pls don't tell anyone and I will also tell truth about your son Harry. Just don't tell anyone outside the room or else truthfully, I will have obliviate everyone." Then gives the magical oath that he is telling the truth.
All kids left and went into Harry's room.
All adults are trying to process the new development when suddenly James spoke.
"Now I understand all the changes in Harry after the treatment with Goblins. The respect, love, caring nature, maturity. Wait did he say, he was boy-who-lived which meant we are dead Lily at his birth. I know one thing if he has come here which he has for a purpose and I will help him whenever he needs me."
"You're right James. We loved our son and we always wanted him to love us but he never loved us. We waited and waited for that to change but that never happened. He comes in our live and we get everything we all wanted. He became good son, godson, nephew, elder brother. I will wait him to tell complete truth." Lily replies and everyone agrees in statement.
Meanwhile with children
"I know my counterpart hasn't been a good brother and has did many wrong things in his life and there are number of gifts that are pending on my counterpart. So, I these gifts are for you all as compensation for everything my counterpart did. I hope we can have improve our sibling relationship in future." Harry goes in wardrobe and brings all the presents.
"There's a box of Zonko gags for Rose, Nimbus 1800 for Daniel, and an Owl order form for Violet. I know how much you love books, Vi. I set up an account at Flourish and Blott's for myself and I added your name to it. You're restricted from any advanced or dark books, but other than that feel free to use it whenever you want. Just don't tell mum, or she'll kill me for spending money uselessly and when you get older you will perform any spell under my guidance are we clear and for Orion an Owl order form of Apothecary for potions same conditions. Are we clear?" All nodded dumbly.
They all return to parlour.
"Ok, I will start." Harry says. "When I first arrived in this dimension, I wanted to tell you all truth but I wanted to know, what is it like have parents, siblings or family. I wanted to have the experience. I will start from my childhood. In my dimension Voldemort (all shudder at name) attacked Potter Cottage and my parents died and I was hailed as Boy-Who-Lived. Then Padfoot came to house and in his rage, he gave me to Hagrid as he was there to me to Dursley's and went after Pettigrew and he then tricked everyone by asking why he betrayed my parents and faking his death and blaming it on Padfoot which led into throwing in Azkaban, while Longbottom's were tortured into insanity by Voldemort's follower's. So, Dumbledore took me and dumbed me at doorstep of Dursley's with a letter about explaining the circumstances in basket with a mattress around me in cold night of November." After explaining this Harry watched their reactions Lily and James were quiet but they had pure fury on their faces after hearing the treatment given to me, Padfoot, Aunt Amy & Moony were no better. Then he continued.
"My ten years living with Dursley's were nothing short of living in hell. I lived in cupboard under the stairs, my blanket was the same mattress that I had in my crib, I did every chore from cleaning the house, moaning the lawn, cooking. I was given very small amount of food; I was also given hand me down clothes of my cousin which were too big for my size, I have taken beatings for not completing chore or doing accidental magic. It is short version and I would not talk long version in front of kids and I have made peace with my childhood and I would like it very much if we don't have to talk about upon the topic and I have already mate with a goblin mind healer about my complete life before coming into this dimension. So, don't worry about that." Harry didn't even give anyone time to react and started his tale and made the decision to continue telling without giving them time to react, as he knew it would take a lot of time as it is.
"Then something happened a week before my 11th Birthday, I was told to collect the post and I saw a letter named Harry Potter and I like a child was about open it in front of my uncle. He knew from where the letter was and he snatched it from my hand and tore it, then many posts starting to arrive and house was flooded with letters. Then finally uncle took us to some place expecting to not get any letters. That's when Rubeus Hagrid made his way into my life. The first time I had seen the half giant break through the door of the shack his relatives were hiding in, I was utterly mesmerized by the size of the man. Well over eleven feet in height, the half giant had a red beard that hung down to his stomach and a thunderous laugh that could wake the dead.
His eventual rescue from his uncle and aunt by the large man, led Harry into Diagon alley, and heralded his return into the Wizarding world. It was during this time that he learned of the truth behind his parent's death, and how his survival allowed the Dark Lord's tyranny to finally come to an end.
While I was still uncomfortable with newfound fame, the awe of returning to the Magical world more than made up forth unease I felt at being ogled by anyone who could recognize the lightning bolt scar on his head. By the time September1st finally arrived, I couldn't wait to begin my magical education, and with the assistance of a nice redheaded Wizarding family, I made his way onto the Hogwarts Express.
The Journey to new school brought forth introductions to several people that would play a pivotal role in my new future. The first would be Draco Lucius Malfoy. A pureblood bigot, the blonde pounce was the only sprog of pureblood princess Narcissa Druella Malfoy nee Black, and formerly "Imperiused" Death Eater, Lucius Abraxas Malfoy.
The second person that I met on the train, was Ronald Billius Weasley. The sixth and youngest son of the Weasley family. The third person I met on the train, while mentioned last, was muggle born witch Hermione Jean Granger was my best friend, confidant, rock, and the sister/family he always wished he had, but when I learned it had it me the hardest. Even though Hermione was just the first Magical person to come from her family, her intelligence and passion to learn Magic was so good, as well as the third and final member of the Golden Trio.
My first year started good but after an altercation with Malfoy during flying lessons, I was chosen to be on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and became the youngest seeker in over a century. The high of falling in love with Quidditch came screeching to a halt, once Halloween rolled around, and I was forced to fight against a mountain troll to save Hermione's life. It started number of adventures that took place during my life at Hogwarts, we found involved in numerous hallway skirmishes with Malfoy, rescuing of a baby dragon from Hagrid and for me, a fight with a deadly wraith in the Forbidden Forest. The craziness was my first year culminated into life-or-death showdown over the Philosopher's Stone against a Voldemort possessed Quirrell.
The final fight was almost too much for me to handle, but thanks to my mother's sacrifice, the protection she left allowed my persevere. Whatever mum had done for me, it burned Quirrell alive the moment he touched me. The death of the Professor not only chucked the wraith form of Voldemort out of the castle, but it also led to the unfortunate destruction of the Philosopher's Stone. In the end, our actions on behalf of the school, led to us receiving last minute House points and a Gryffindor victory for the House Cup.
Second year started livelier than the first, with me and Ron missing the Hogwarts Express, only to show up to school while driving Mr. Weasley's flying car and crashing it into the Whomping Willow. The unfortunate stunt cost them both several weeks' worth of detentions, and also fifty points apiece for the House Cup.
The year took a drastic turn for the worse on the Halloween when the Chamber of Secrets was opened again. Between students turning petrified, learning I am a parselmouth, and the entire school calling him the next Dark Lord and the Heir of Slytherin, we worked frantically to solve the new mystery. By the time the year came to an end, Hermione's name was added to a long list of students that were petrified, leaving Ron and I to solve the mystery and save the day.
The situation eventually got so bad that Dumbledore was removed from the school, and a few days later the Heir took a student into the Chamber itself. Once the unpetrified members of the Trio realized Ron's little sister was the student taken, we used all of their skills to track down the hidden Chamber.
We were able to solve the mystery and we went to DADA professor for help. In an effort to flee from his duties to the school, the cowardly DADA Professor used an ill-advised attempt to Obliviate us about our knowledge of the Chamber, with Ron's broken wand. The resulting spell backfired on him, causing the ceiling in the Chamber to drop, and separating Harry from the other two and forcing me to continue on alone.
With Ginny's life on the line, I soldiered through and upon entering the main hall of the Chamber, I was forced to once again face off against Voldemort. While still a shade, the young Voldemort was able to call upon Slytherin's monster, and used the massive snake to attack Harry.
Unfortunately, I only had Fawkes and the Sorting Hat to help him, but somehow Harry managed to pull out the Sword of Gryffindor from the hat and used it to kill the Basilisk. Even as the monster's fangs pierced through his arm and the deadly poison from its bite began to flow through his body, I pushed aside pain to save Ginny.
In a last second burst of adrenaline, I grabbed the diary that allowed the shade of young Voldemort to possess Ginny and destroyed it by plunging a Basilisk fang through it. In turn I was saved from brush with death by the freely given tears of Dumbledore's Phoenix. The year ended with the Golden Trio's actions once again leading to House points and a come from behind Gryffindor victory for the House Cup.
The summer after second year started off much better than the year before, but it ended on a horrible note. After blowing up my uncle Vernon's sister in a fit of rage, I made way to the Leaky Cauldron, where eventually met the Minister of Magic and learned that Sirius Orion Black, the right hand of the Dark Lord Voldemort and the secret keeper that betrayed his parents to their deaths, had escaped from Azkaban and was now looking to kill me to avenge his fallen master.
Third year began with another near-death experience, when Dementors boarded the Hogwarts Express, and one of them nearly kissed and ripped out my soul. After a fortunate rescue from the new DADA teacher, Remus John Lupin, I once again found stuck in the school infirmary.
As the year continued, I was nearly killed by Dementors interfering during a Quidditch game and the mystery surrounding Sirius Black was taken up to be solved by the Golden Trio. During the course of their investigation, we learned that Professor Lupin was once best friends with my father, Black, and Pettigrew, that the quartet formed the famous pranking group that the Weasley twins tried to emulate, that Harry's father was a Stag Animagus, and by the time the year finally came to an end, they learned that everything they had been told about Sirius Black was a lie.
Sirius never betrayed the Potters, because he was never their secret keeper. That honour had gone to Pettigrew, and the rat has shown his true colours by selling out Harry's parents to Voldemort, and then setting up Sirius to take the fall. With the entire Wizarding world agreeing Sirius was at fault, he was thrown into Azkaban without even receiving a proper trial.
After learning the truth behind the Potter's betrayal, we tried to help Sirius prove his innocence by capturing Pettigrew. But their efforts were foiled by the arrival of Snape and the full moon turning Lupin into a werewolf. In the resulting mayhem, Pettigrew somehow managed to escape and Sirius was caught by the Ministry. With Sirius once again in custody, Fudge refused to believe in his innocence and ordered the immediate death of Sirius. It was only through luck, and Hermione's fortunate access to a time turner, we were able to rescue Sirius and allow him to escape before Minister Fudge could return with some Dementors. At the closing feast, Gryffindor once again won the House cup, but this time there were no last-minute points to help them.
Summer after third year was painful, because I missed Sirius dearly. After learning the truth about the Sirius's innocence, I dreamt of escaping the Dursleys and living with someone who actually wanted to raise me? Unfortunately, Sirius's convict status and Dumbledore's inability to let me leave Privet Drive, prevented from doing so.
By the time fourth year started, the Death Eater attack on the Quidditch World Cup was the talk of the school. But that news was quickly overshadowed by the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament.
Since the tournament was only open to students who were of age, I was hoping to finally have a danger free year at school. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Once the Champions were announced during the Halloween feast, I suddenly found named as the fourth Champion.
Despite best efforts to convince the staff and the students that I did not put my name into the cup, and was forced to compete in the tournament due to a binding Magical contract. As like past years, the students of Hogwarts were quick to blame me for ruining the tournament, and once again the teachers did nothing to help the situation. During this time our friendship was briefly broken up due to Ron's jealousy and Hermione not believing and calling him a cheater.
Through the course of the year, Harry learned about the first task from Hagrid, out flew a dragon to retrieve a golden egg, once again became friends with Ron and Hermione, solved the mystery behind the second task, went to the Yule ball with fellow Gryffindor Parvati Patil, swam through the Black Lake to retrieve his on again/off again mate Ron, and finally ended the third task by agreeing to become Co-Champions with Cedric Diggory.
The moment the we touched the cup, we were expecting to return to awaiting fans, but instead we were port keyed to a graveyard in Little Harrington. Over the next hour I was forced to endure watching the death of Cedric, the resurrection of Voldemort, and the arrival of his Death Eaters. After being crucioed several times by the newly revived Dark Lord, I eventually duelled the man, and in a stroke of luck he managed to get to the portkey and used it to take Cedric's body back to Hogwarts.
Upon arrival, I immediately told Dumbledore and Fudge what happened at the cemetery, and while the headmaster didn't doubt his story, the Minister refused to believe a word he said. The year ended with Gryffindor once again in the lead for the House Cup, but with the death of a beloved student, and the threat of the Dark Lord's return, no cup was awarded, and no one gave a damn.
The summer after fourth year was brutal for, and thanks to Dumbledore I was once again on my own. After repeated attempts to contact Hermione, Ron, Sirius, and Remus, I was hurt when, I learned that headmaster had prevented anyone from writing, in fear that the letters would be traced back to Privet Drive by the Death Eaters.
Harry's troubles after the tournament were compounded, when I was forced to defend my cousin and myself against two "rogue" Dementors that somehow appeared at Privet Drive. Use of magic was instantly recognized by the Ministry and I was ordered to appear in court to determine whether wand would be snapped.
The court date was first contact with the anyone over the summer, and thankfully the charges were dismissed once it was proven I didn't violate the Statute of Secrecy by performing magic in front of a squib and his cousin.
When September 1st arrived again, the Golden Trio finally returned to Hogwarts for their fifth year, and was made aware of the smear campaign the Ministry had run against Dumbledore and myself over the summer. With Rita Skeeter leading the charge, the sheep that made up the magical community were quite ready to accept that the headmaster had gone senile and that the Boy Who Lived was nothing more than an attention seeking brat that was lying about the Dark Lord's return.
Once the new year started, I was quick to have his run in with the Ministry appointed DADA teacher, Delores Jane Umbridge. Between detentions writing "I will not tell lies" with a blood quill, painful dreams from Voldemort through cursed scar, and running the Defence Association secretly from Umbridge and her Inquisition Squad.
As with the rest of his time at Hogwarts, my fifth year ended with a bang. After receiving a "vision" that Padfoot was being tortured at the Ministry by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, I along with several of my friends went to go rescue him. Our rescue attempt turned into a trap set by Voldemort, and in an intense fight for their lives, we rescued the prophecy the Death Eaters were searching for and managed to hold off Voldemort's inner circle long enough forth Order to arrive.
The resulting battle between the two groups was vicious, and I watched in fear as Sirius fought against his cousin and Voldemort's top Death Eater, Bellatrix Lestrange. Despite being an expert dueller, Sirius took the fight lightly, and in a fluke accident the stunner that hit him sent him through the Veil and cost him his life. I was furious with Sirius' death and in a fit of rage, and followed Bella into the Ministry antrum only to find that Voldemort had joined the fight. Before I could even begin to attack the man, who had ruined my life, Dumbledore arrived and duelled the Dark Lord himself.
The incredible feats of magic that the two Wizards were able to accomplish, made me realize how ill prepared I was to face a wizard as powerful as Voldemort, and how lucky I had been to survive the times that he had. The duel between the two powerhouses lasted long enough for the Minister and the Aurors to arrive and see for themselves that Voldemort had returned.
When the fight finally ended, the headmaster escorted us back to his office, and told the truth behind why I was targeted by the Dark Lord. After hearing the prophecy, I was furious at how little Dumbledore had done to help me become ready to face supposed destiny. Anger only grew when I realized that the lack of information directly led to him falling into Voldemort's trap and resulted in the death of his Sirius. Now more fun part is about to start, so if any questions before that please ask." Harry took a break. Everyone was at him with wide eyes, mouth open
"Are you saying that you have already fought basilisk, 100 dementors, dragon, merpole, different magical creatures, won Triwizard competition, 3 times Voldemort and you say fun is yet to come." Sirius questions, and when Harry nods, everyone see as if he is crazy.
"Then how about you continue and we see where it goes and crazy things you have done that can top this." James replies.
"Ok, after death of Sirius, I was completely broken, angry, frustrated, guilty and wanted nothing but revenge. For summer I was send to Dursleys' and my routine continued. Then one afternoon I received a letter with Gringotts seal on it. I opened it and it was letter about Sirius will reading and before I could reply, I was in Gringotts, around me there were Remus and Tonks. We realised that letter was a portkey into will reading room. Goblins informed us that Sirius had already paid for the portkeys and personal will reading room. Many secrets were revealed and I was very angry after revelations. First thing, Sirius did was annul marriage of Malfoy and Lestrange, then brought Tonks into family. Distributed assets, made me Lord Black and finally there was a message recorded in form of memory for me. In the message Sirius informed me that Dumbledore, Granger and Weasleys stole money and books from family vault and to take medical tests.
During each of their check-up's, Tonks and Remus found multiple Obviations, and loyalty potions keyed to Dumbledore. My physical found the same and a whole lot more. By the time the healer was done, they discovered several doses of love potions keyed to Ginny, loyalty potions keyed to Dumbledore, Granger and the Weasleys, a 70% Block on magical core, and a horcrux embedded within his cursed scar. The Goblin healer assured that the potions and Obviations could easily be reversed and the same went for the block Dumbledore placed on Harry. What concerned them was the horcrux."
"What Voldemort made Horcrux?" Sirius asks.
"He made Horcruxes. For other's A Horcrux was an object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul in order to become immortal.[3] Horcruxes could only be created after committing murder, the supreme act of evil. The process for the creation of a Horcrux involved a spell and a horrific act is performed soon after the murder has been committed.
Anyway, after several hours of deliberation with other healers on the Goblin payroll, I was given a choice. I could opt to remove the horcrux to another item which would be destroyed later, or could choose an option that would be significantly more painful, as well as life threatening, but potentially more rewarding. If I chose the second route, the Goblins would try to leech all the information the horcrux contained, before transferring it to another item. The pain was described as being equivalent to Crucio, and it would last as long as it took to remove the information. Unfortunately, once the process was started, they couldn't stop without causing permanent damage to my brain.
It took another two hours of yelling and screaming with Tonks and Remus, but finally I convinced them that the second option was the best for everyone. The more information we had on Voldemort, the quicker they could end this war.
Once the Goblins were made aware of decision. They moved me into one of their overnight rooms, and began to cleanse my blood of all the love and loyalty potions. The process took a little over twenty-four hours, and then the healers began to break down the block on core.
While time consuming, a little over ten hours, I was thankful the process wasn't too painful. After what I agreed to do with the horcrux, I didn't need any more painful procedures to add on to the misery he was about to endure.
The Goblins waited two days before starting on the horcrux. I wasn't sure how long the procedure actually took, but it felt like screaming for days. Thankfully the process was complete after two hours, and the healers immediately put me into a magically induced coma to give body time to heal.
By this time Tonks and Remus had been cleared of their conditions, and they used the time Harry was out commission to go to Su's house and explain to her what was happening. From what Tonks told Harry, Su was so furious with Dumbledore, Granger and the Weasleys, it took both her and Remus to stop her from taking the Knight Bus to Grimmauld place and hexing the lot of them.
Eventually she calmed down again, and agreed to go with Harry for his training. She forced Remus to use his influence as a professor to get her parents to let her skip out on the yearly family vacation. Luckily for everyone involved, since the Li's didn't have to be back for their daughter's return to Hogwarts, Remus and Su managed to convince them to turn their vacation into a second honeymoon and extend their trip until after Su started sixth year.
A day after Su moved into one of Gringotts's guest rooms, I was revived from his Magical coma. When the Healer was done checking through his core, she was stunned by the readings she received. The block placed by Dumbledore had done permanent damage to my core, and I would never reach his true potential.
The first few days in the alternate dimension, were hard. Between gaining extra power that I wasn't used to, and having his mind filled with Voldemort's memories, I was having a tough time concentrating. Eventually it was decided that I would need to learn the basics of Occlumency before I could go through with the rest of training.
While Tonks, Remus and Su dove into their sessions with the various teachers that came with them, I spent the next month learning how to meditate and catalogue his and Voldemort's memories. The process was brutal, and most nights would need a Dreamless Draught just to get into bed. Luckily, I had tons of support between his friends and his teacher, and by the time my birthday rolled around, I had gone through both his and the Dark Lord's memories.
It was disgusting to see the things Riddle had done to gain power. His memories gave all of Voldemort's knowledge up until the moment the killing curse destroyed him, and so I knew who all the DE were. I knew where Voldemort kept his secret caches of money, potions and equipment. But most importantly, I knew where all of Voldemort's horcruxes were. That knowledge gave me some hope. Now that we knew how survived as a wraith, I knew we final had a way to get rid of him for good.
As time passed, we continued to pour all our energy into studies. While Remus and Tonks only concentrated on a few things, Su and I pushed ourselves with all of teachers. By the time we were ready to leave the Chamber, we were ready for the war that was coming.
Remus who already excelled at DADA, used his time in the Chamber to improve his Transfiguration to Master status. Tonks who was already good at Transfiguration thanks to her Metamorphic ability, used her time to excel in her duelling and improved her Charms work, so that it was head and shoulders better than what she ever thought possible.
However, the pair that had the most benefit from the six-year learning experience, was Su and Harry. Su was most intelligent during Hogwarts but she kept her trait hidden and everyone thought Granger was the smartest witch of her age but only Harry knew the truth, she left the Chamber capable of being a Mistress of Transfiguration as well as Charms. She was also an accomplished Occlumence and thanks to her combat training, she was more than capable at hand-to-hand fighting.
Of all the people present, I gained the most benefit from the Chamber. Between the knowledge I gained from Voldemort, own incredible power levels, natural physical prowess in sports and battle, and innate ability to pick up spells, I was more than capable of getting a Mastery in Transfiguration, DADA, Duelling, Occlumency/Legilimency, and shockingly, Potions. It was an incredible surprise for me to learn that without Snape hovering over and ridiculing me in class, I was actually quite good at Potions.
While I was nowhere near Su's ability in mastering Charms, in Hand to Hand and Sword fighting teachers assured that with a few more years of training, and I would be able to receive a Mastery in those fields as well. Overall, the quartet were quite pleased with our time in the Chamber, and now looked to end the war as soon as possible.
Once the group had re-entered the normal world, I caught up with the current events in the Magical community. Thankfully Riddle and his Death Eaters had a quiet summer, but the same could not have been said for the Ministry. In a surprise but pleasant move, the Wizengamot had finally done something right, and ousted Fudge as the Minister of Magic. It was supposedly a close race to find his successor, but luckily Amelia Bones had beaten out Rufus Scrimgeour and Theodore Nott Sr. to become the next Minister of Magic.
During the time spent pretending to do the mission Dumbledore assigned, I learned some startling information from the blonde pounce of Slytherin. After doing a passive legilimency scan on Draco, I learned of his orders from the Dark Wanker. When I realized Voldemort planned to use the vanishing cabinet in the R.O.R to attack Hogwarts, I thought of the perfect plan to take care of Riddle for good and quickly relayed the information to Amelia and Rufus, and after a day, I received a reply telling me the plan was a go.
The few months leading up to the Death Eater attack were dreadfully boring. After the amount of time, he spent training with Su and on his assignment from Dumbledore. Hermione, Ron and Ginny grew worried about the separation and became more forceful in their attempts to be with the pair.
While Harry knew he had to continue pretending to be friends with the three of them, he refused to spend any more time with them than necessary. With Su's help, he was able to convince them that they couldn't help with Slughorn, and that Dumbledore wouldn't appreciate their interference. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the excuse forever, and after delaying as long as possible, he eventually completed his mission and retrieved the horcrux memory from Slughorn.
The week before the Death Eater attack was scheduled to occur, I received the best news heard all year. After a meeting with Dumbledore in his office, I found out the old bastard had gone to retrieve a horcrux by himself, and managed to get himself cursed. As soon as I had seen to replica of the Resurrection Stone on Dumbledore's table, I knew the old man had been arrogant enough to put on the fake ring.
The night before the final battle, Harry implemented the first part of his plan. With Su, Neville, Susan, Luna and several of the DA members he trusted completely, the group attacked the Slytherin House. Harry used his parseltongue ability to override the door to the common room and the group systematically went through each of the rooms, stunning all the occupants.
Then using the Veritaserum Su purchased through the Goblins, we went through each of the Slytherin students and found which ones were going to participate in the attack. The process took up most of the night, but by the time the group was done, they had secured the help of the Slytherins that were unaware of the attack, and bound the remaining Slytherins in an empty class room that was sound proof, and warded against detection for the next twelve hours.
The next day I, Su and the students that were aware of what was happening, were all a nervous wreck. The assault wasn't scheduled until lunch time, so I was easily able to make his way to the R.O.R and make the alterations Sue had shown him, as well as move the cabinet to an empty and warded class room on the seventh floor. Thanks to my brilliant best friend, the change would make to the cabinet would still allow people to come through it, but it would fail to arrange their organs properly. In short, it was a one-way ticket to the other side and a nicer way to die than the Death Eaters deserved.
When the attack on the Castle finally began, the teachers didn't have to take care of the students, since several of the upperclassmen had already been instructed to move the non-combatants into the R.O.R.
Both sides fought viciously for their victory, and since neither side was willing to budge an inch, the death toll quickly increased. The ground was literally littered with dead students, Death Eaters, teachers, Aurors and Dark creatures. It was at this time that Dumbledore finally fell to Voldemort.
The curse from the stone has sapped too much of his magical core, and the old man was unable to block a killing curse from his opponent. Both forces were briefly stunned by the end of one of the most powerful men in history, and it was evident that the Light needed someone else to lead them. Before Voldemort could even gloat over his victory, I unleashed a stream of curses towards the smug Dark Lord.
The Light forces were surprised by the Boy Who Lived's audacity, but when they saw how well he was doing, it gave them heart to continue fighting. The duel between Harry and Riddle was brutal, and Harry was more than willing to use the Dark curses he picked up from Voldemort's memories. Eventually the fight came to an end, when I used quickness to evade one of Riddle's more deadly spell combinations, and respond with a killing curse that shocked the Dark Lord as it him.
The moment Voldemort fell to his death, the remnants of his army either surrendered to the larger forces of the Light, or somehow managed to escape in the chaos. When Harry was finally able to look upon the battlefield in peace, he couldn't stop the tears from falling down his face. The cost of victory had been high for the Ministry, but for me, victory had cost everything I cared about.
Su was dead and laid next to Luna's body. From the position they were in, it was obvious to Harry that the pair had been caught behind enemy lines. Despite the number of bodies that surrounded them, their skill hadn't been enough to escape.
When his eyes finally found the Granger and Weasley family, he was disgusted by what he saw. They had somehow managed to come through the battle intact, and unlike the others their clothes lacked the blood, dirt and tears that marked those who actually fought in the battle.
It didn't take a genius of Su's magnitude, to realize they had probably stayed back within the confines of the Castle. The moment he saw them begin to make their way towards him, Harry apparated away from the battlefield. He then met Remus and Tonks and offered them Grimmauld place to grow together.
It took days of drowning his sorrows in fire whiskey, before Harry finally made his way to Gringotts. He took MPI test and came out 287 and his 30% of actual core has been permanently damaged. Several months earlier, I had decided to leave Britain after the war, and since the Black assets had already been liquidated, I instruct his account manager to do the same for the Potter assets, minus the Potter Manor.
When I walked out of the Goblin bank for the last time, I walked away with 147 million galleons, the Potter Manor neatly held in a Goblin transport sphere, the entire library of the Potter and Black family, and most surprisingly, everything out of the Dumbledore family vault.
Apparently, the old bastard had a backup plan in the event he couldn't get control of the Potter family through the Weasleys. In case Harry died before marrying Ginny, Dumbledore created a fake set of adoption papers, that were coincidentally signed by me, and made me the beneficiary. Since Aberforth perished in the battle of Hogwarts, and Dumbledore didn't have any children, I didn't see any reason not to claim the vault as his own. After All, Dumbledore did adopt him into the family.
I had no intention of ever returning to Magical Britain. Thanks to the memories received from Voldemort; I knew of an island that Riddle bought early during the first war. Long before the Boy Who Lived came along, Voldemort and his Death Eaters were well on their way to victory, and the Island would help them keep control over the rest of the populace.
The Island Riddle purchased contained a small Manor for Voldemort's personal use, and thirteen massive Greenhouses that were filled with every type of plant that he could get his hands on. The rest of the Island was formed by a forest that was Magically expanded to rival the size of the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts. Riddle spent years filling the forest with all types of magical creatures. Once he eventually won the war, it was his intent to control everything that was Magical. Without ingredients for Potions or Wands, all of Magical Britain would be dependent on him for its survival.
By Right of Conquest, I decided to claim the Island. Since no one but Riddle even knew of its existence, it was the perfect place for me to escape from the rest of the world. The next two years I spent alone on the island, keeping myself entertained with various projects.
Then during such project, I met Death. I would like all of you look through the memory of meeting Death. I have pensive and I will bring it. (Complete Ch 3 and starting of Ch 4 if you want to see and he shows them letter of Fate.) I will take everyone to the island during Christmas. Now, I will use the spell so that, no one will problems." Harry uses the spell.
"Now, everyone knows why I came here. So, I will be taking the war to Voldemort and if you want to help then I am sorry kids but you will have to train to defend as I will be one to take the war against Voldemort and I don't want my family to die this time. I want everyone to start with Occlumency. Now I know I have given everyone lot to think. So, I will take my leave."
James and Lily went to their room to discuss the situation. Sirius, Aunt Amy, Orion and Moony left the house. All other siblings went in Daniel's room to play.
"Lily our son is a warrior, businessman, intelligent and powerful but he has never lived a life of child and I want to give him that life."
"You're right James and we will the things that he didn't have in his dimension. We promise it ourselves."
"We promise Lily. We promise."
