Part Nine:

What Happened?


"Do you guys have any idea what was done to me?" Harry asked.


" I am afraid I don't. I'm not an expert on things like this."said Mrs.Weasley.


" I need you to tell me everything that they did to you. Then we might be able to find something out." said Sirius. Just then someone knocked on the door.

" Come in." said Reese. Professor Dumbledore walked in the door.

" Hello professor. What can I do for you?" said Reese.

" I don't need you to do anything for me. I just thought that you would like to know what happened to young Harry here." said the old man.

" Yes! We would love to know what happened to him." said Remus.

" Harry, if I am correct, you had something implanted into your neck, am I right?" said Dumbledore.

" Yes."

" You never saw anyone either, did you?"

" No."

" It became hard for you to control yourself?"

"Yes."

"Then you took a potion that made you completely unable to do what you wanted?"

" Yes, that's exactly what happened." said Harry.

" Just as I thought. You see, I have been doing some research, and before Harry and Miss Hawkins came into my office I was going to come see all of you because I had come across something."said the headmaster.

" What is it?" asked Mrs.Weasley.

" Harry was taken and had a control curse performed on him. It takes time to perform one of these curses on someone like Harry because he has so much power. That's why he was gone so long. He never saw anyone because they were probably doing everything why you were asleep. The implant they put into your neck was one of the new bottled curses. The implant slowly releases the curse into your bloodstream.If they would have done it all at one time you could have easily died. After you took the potion, they could make you do whatever they wanted you to- BUT, the final thing they had to do was get you to harm, or even kill someone you loved. That would make you able to kill anyone."said Dumbledore.

" Who did he have to hurt?" asked Sirius. Harry looked at his feet. He wasn't sure how Reese would react to this.

" Well....." said Remus. Everyone was looking at him now.

" Alex." he said quietly.

" WHAT?! Did you hurt my daughter?" asked Reese.

" No, you see, that's the point. The only raeson Harry is here with us is because he could not hurt her." said the headmaster.

" Okay then. Wait- this means that you LOVE my daughter?"asked Reese with a slight grin on his face. Harry went red.

" Yeah." he said, an embarassed grin forming on his face. Sirius came over and patted him on the back.

" Don't worry. It happens to the best of us." he said.

(-;**:-)

That night, Harry was sent to Madam Pomfrey-after they woke her up, then calmed her down and explained what happened. The implant was taken out of his neck, and it ended up being just a VERY tiny cube. There was no more potion in his veins, so he was sent into the infirmary with Alex for the rest of the night. They didn't want him going to his dorm, because some of the kids might flip out after seeing Harry just appear in their bedroom after being gone for so long. Harry couldn't help but wonder about how people would act when they saw him tomorrow at breakfast.

(-;**:-)

Harry was woken up that morning by Alex. She looked much better-maybe because she wasn't so depressed anymore. They went into the Great Hall together. Everyone was already there, and Harry noticed that Ron and Hermione looked almost as bad as Alex had. Everyone gasped as Harry walked in. The hall went silent.

" HARRY!" said Hermione. There was a great rush of people come toward him, all wanting to know where he had been, Ron and Hermione right up in front. Dumbledore calmed everyone down and had everyone sit down. He then explained to them what had been done to him. He didn't tell them who he tried to hurt, though, which was one of the first questions that he was asked by Ron when they went into the common room. When he told them, they did just about the same thing Reese had done. He was sure they would be teased for this.
