"Harry, you never showed me your animagus form," Hermione said...

Just as Harry was about to respond, the door opened and two black figures stepped in.

"Looks like the seniors have arrived," Harry said

"I see everyone has arrived. Oh! Hello, Hermione" The person who came inside the room said.

"Holy mother of..." Hermione began

"Good evening miss granger, looks like Harrison has told you everything.." The second person, who turned out to be Professor McGonagall said.

"Well, not exactly everything professor.." Harry said scratching the back of his neck.

"Hmm... I understand. Hello, Miss granger, It's nice to meet you, I am Edward Harrington, your new DADA professor.." The man said holding his hands out for her to shake..

"But.." Hermione stood there dumbfounded.

"How come two professors are included in our little games?" Draco asked

"Yeah," Hermione said

"Alright, time for me to interrupt," Harry said coming forward. "Mione, there are a lot of things left to be explained. First of all, the real name of this old man here is not Edward Harrington." Harry said pointing at Edward. "He is the one and only Regulus Arcturus Black, the brother of my dad, Sirius black"

"WHAT!" Hermione screamed "bu. Bu..but" Hermione said stammering

"I know you know me as Regulus Black, the follower of Lord Voldermort... Am I right?" Edward asked looking at Hermione.

Hermione nodded, not trusting her voice at the moment.

"But that is not the case." Harry continued on behalf of Regulus " Yes, it is true that Regulus did join the 'death munchers' group. But, the hat was mainly because of the way his family had raised him. He was made to believe that the 'death munchers' were the "true warriors" and all crap like that. But, as soon as he realized what type of people they were, he left the group. But, not before making sure that he had carved out a way to bring Voldemort's downfall.." Harry finished.

"When I heard about the prophecy and Tom's plan to kill Harry, I was devastated. I understood that whatever my family had taught me was wrong.. That was why I escaped from Riddle's clutches. I faked my death. You see, I am a metamorphosis, so, I changed my appearance and my identity so that no one would find out who I was. I knew Harry was the only person who would be able to help me. So, Two years ago, I met young Harry and Minnie and revealed everything to them under a magical oath. From, that moment onwards, we have been trying to find ways to destroy Voldermort." Regulus said adding a few of his own points.

"I don't know what I can say exactly... But, I trust Harry and professor Mcgonagall, so I trust you.." Hermione said smiling.

"Thank you, Hermione," Regulus said smiling.

"So, what is that you exactly took from Riddle, Regulus?" Hermione asked curiously.

Regulus took out a locket from his pocket and raised it so that Hermione could see it clearly.

."A locket?" Hermione asked confused.

"Not just any locket Mi, this is Salazar Slytherin's locket, which our dear Moldyshorts converted into a Horcrux," Harry said

"Horcrux?" Hermione asked. She really hated when she didn't know an answer.

"A Horcrux is a powerful object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality. Creating one Horcrux gives one the ability to anchor one's own soul to earth if the body is destroyed; the more Horcruxes one creates, the closer one is too true immortality. Well apparently. you have to murder someone in order to create a Horcrux.." Regulus explained.. (A/N: The explanation about the Horcrux is not made by me, I took it from google)

"Oh my god! That's Dark.." Hermione said.

"Yup! The guy is darker than batman." Harry said chuckling.

"Really Harry? Was that necessary?" Hermione asked raising an eyebrow.

"Sorry," Harry said smiling.

"So, big bro, why did you invite us all here.." Luna began in a normal voice and not in her usual monotone, dreamy voice.

"...Excluding the fact that you wanted to introduce us to your girlfriend here." Draco finished smirking.

"No, I am afraid we have much more serious issues to discuss than that." Harry started in a worried tone. "Regulus, have you informed Minnie about the incident."

"Yes," Regulus replied.

"What is it Speedy?" Draco said.

"Alright, so that everyone present here is up-to-date about ?" Everyone nodded their heads. "But, We have a few important things to discuss," Harry said, moving closer to stand beside Hermione.

"Yesterday, while coming back to Hogwarts, Harry had a... vision.. He witnessed his past. To be precise, Harry saw what had happened at Halloween night, the night when the potters were murdered." Minnie said.

"You mean like how Luna saw her past and realized that she was a Potter," Neville asked.

"Yes, Mr. Longbottom, exactly like that.." Minnie said

"What did you see speedy?" Draco asked.

"Voldemort... He... It was not him who killed my parents" Harry said on the verge of tears. Thinking about his parents always made him cry.

"WHAT!?" Everyone (Except Minnie and Regulus) shouted.

"Are you sure it was not a false vision Harry?" Hermione asked hugging Harry, knowing he wanted the support.

"No Hermione, It was very real, I myself have confirmed it.." Regulus said. "I am a master legilimens.. I can differentiate between false memories and true memories." He said when he saw the confusion on Hermione's face.

"So, what did you see?" Neville asked

"I believe it's best if we show it instead of talking about it..." Regulus said looking at Harry. Harry nodded his head and they all walked towards a cabin to their right...Regulus took something out from the cupboard and showed it to everyone.

"A Pensieve?" Hermione asked.

"Yes"

Harry took out a vile which contained a white liquid and poured it on the Pensieve... They all put their heads inside the Pensieve and watched the terrifying yet revealing memory.

"Holy shit!" Draco said.

"So, Voldemort is a puppet to this monster's games?" Neville asked horrified.

Regulus and Minnie nodded their heads. Harry went and sat near a crying luna, holding her close to him, giving her time to relax.

"Why... Why Harry? What did our parents ever do to him?" Luna asked crying.

"I don't know Luna. But, I promise you, we will find this man and when we will, we will make sure that he pays for his crimes...Together, we will defeat him, Luna." Harry said still hugging Luna.

There was not even a single dry eye left in the room now. Everyone was silently joining the siblings in their grief.

"Harry, why do you think You-know-Who hesitated to kill your mom? Why did he say you are his only family left?" Neville asked wiping his eyes.

"I don't know Neville. Everything is a mystery to me. The person whom everyone thought was a dark lord turned out to be a mere puppet in the games of an evil puppeteer. He is playing behind the shadows, hiding among us as an innocent man, while making others do all his dirty works." Harry said

"Draco, according to the newspaper reports, there have been reports about death eaters attacking muggles at the world cup. Do you know anything about it?." Luna asked

"Unfortunately, yes.." Draco began sitting on a couch. "My dad said that the dark mark has started getting more clear in the past few weeks" Everyone in the room gasped hearing that. "Dad is scared about the consequences. He is scared that if the dark lord is back, he will punish dad and his group for abandoning him for the past 13 years. That was the reason why dad and his group of 'death-munchers' planned to attack the muggles. They thought that it would please the dark lord." Draco said, anger evident in his voice.

"We have to move fast Harry," Regulus said. "If Riddle is coming back, we have to be prepared. That includes you too Hermione" Regulus turned towards Hermione. "Will you be able to keep up with the training?" He asked

"I can assure you Regulus, if anyone can keep up with us, it will be Hermione," Harry said smiling at Hermione.

"I stand with Harrison in that matter Regulus. Hermione is by far the most efficient student in I have seen so far." McGonagall said.

"Harrison?" Hermione asked.

"Turns out that is my OG name.. Harrison James Potter," Harry said.

"I like it," Hermione said

"Alright lovebirds, we will give you time to get all mushy-mushy later." Regulus teased. "But for now. Harry, what should we do about those?" Regulus asked pointing at the three objects placed on the table.

"Are those..?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, they are the three more Horcruxes we have collected" Luna answered

"Three more? Have destroyed any other Horcruxes before?" Hermione asked

"You remember the diary in second year Mione?" Harry asked. "That was also a Horcrux he had created," Harry said when he saw Hermione nodding her head.

"Oh!" Hermione said.

"You have the Fang Regulus?" Harry asked. Regulus nodded, "Then let's go two at a time."Harry said.

"Athena!" The phoenix appeared in a burst of flames and handed over the sword of Gryffindor to Harry.

Harry and Regulus moved towards the desk. Harry took the golden disc and handed it over to Regulus.

"Ready when you are pup," Regulus said, placing the disc on the far end of the table and holding the basilisk fang in position, ready to stab it.

"On the count of three," Harry said

"Three.."

Harry placed the trophy on the table and raised the sword above his head

"Two.."

Everyone stepped back

"One.."

Harry brought the sword down and stabbed the trophy at the same time as Regulus stabbed the disc. A resounding scream echoed through the room causing everyone to cover their ears.

"Bloody hell... That's bloody freaking insane." Draco said.

"Is it destroyed?" Minerva asked

"Yes, Voldemort is 4 more Horcruxes away from being mortal once again," Regulus said.

"Luna, your turn," Harry said handing over the sword to his sister.

Luna nodded and took the sword from him. She moved towards the table where Harry had placed the locket. She stood in front of the locket and raised the sword above her head.

"Ready luna?" Harry asked. Luna nodded her head in response.

"OPEN" Harry hissed in parseltongue.

The locket sprang open to life and a black misty figure came out of the locket.."I have seen your mind young Luna" It began. "You will always be alone. No parents No. AAAAAHHHHHH!" Luna had stabbed the locket before it had time to say anything else...

"What in Merlin's name just happened?" Draco asked (A/N: Seriously Drac, you have to ask a question every time?)

"The locket was trying to control Luna's mind. It was trying to stop her from destroying the locket. But, unlike some other idiots, (A/N: Like those people, who once they wear the locket starts babbling idiotic things due to jealousy and leaves their friends alone in the middle of a forest during a war.. Just because he is hungry.) our Luna was strong enough to fight it and destroy it." Regulus explained.

"So, now we are closer to defeating You-know-who?" Neville asked.

"Yes, Neville. And the closer we are, the stronger we get." Minerva said smiling.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"Ok now everyone, disperse. I need some time to spend alone with my girlfriend. Everyone out.. shoo!" Harry said leading everyone out. He closed the door behind them and turned towards Hermione. He could hear his teammates snickering behind the door

"Alone time? Huh?" Hermione asked smirking.

"Why dear girlfriend, don't you like it?" Harry asked with a sly grin, moving towards Hermione and unbuttoning the two top buttons on his shirt.

Before Hermione had time to respond Harry grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her closer towards him, crashing his lips down on hers.

Well, you guys know what happened next...LOL!
