"So, Harry doesn't like to talk about his problems?" Professor Dumbledore asks. He rubs is chin and looks at his phoenix. "He's coming to Hogwarts this year, so maybe this'll work. The owls are going out about now," as he looked at his watch. "Why don't you go back and find him, then take him to Diagon Alley?" Sirius nodded and walked out to the grounds. He saw the gamekeeper, and yelled:

"OY, TOM! What are you doing?"

"I'm pruning pumpkins for the Halloween feast." Sirius winced at the reminder "Oops, didn't mean it that why Sirius. How's Harry?" Tom Riddle asked.

"Harry is secretive, but Lana, my wife, and I think he doesn't like lots of attention," Sirius answered. "How's everything here?"

"Fine, fine," Tom replied, "My first shipment of Flobberworms, Flesh-Eating Snails, and stuff like that came in for my new class."

"Well, I got to go Tom, see you later!" Sirius said. He walked to the gates of the school, and Apparated back to his house, just as an owl flew through the window. Sirius took the letter, and pointed to the owl perch. Lana came in, and Harry looking sullen, followed her. Sirius handed Harry the letter from Hogwarts,

"Sweet!" Harry yelled. I wanna be in Slytherin!" Sirius' jaw dropped and Lana fell to the floor in a dead faint.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, HARRY?" Sirius bellowed. Harry looked crestfallen. "Slytherin is he worst house! Lord Grusuber was in Slytherin!"

"I know Sirius," Harry whispered. "I know what his true name is though." Sirius gave Harry a calculating look. "Hagrid."

"It can't be Hagrid. He died right as the Lord came to power…" Sirius' voice started out loud but became soft. "How did you figure out?"

"Wand," said Harry as he reached out his hand. Sirius handed him his own wand. Harry wrote out

Rubeus Molr Hagrid

He waved the wand, and the writing changed to :

I am Lord Grusuberh

"But the 'H' at the end of the name is silent, so everyone calls in Lord Grusuber," Harry pointed out. Sirius goggled. He grabbed some more powder, threw it in the fire, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Dumbledore, Harry figured out who the Dark Lord is, and it sounds correct, though how it happened is beyond me,"

"Who is it Harry?" Dumbledore gave Harry a penetrating stare, and Harry performed the trick again for Dumbledore, and Dubledore stared. "Well, Harry, are you coming to Hogwarts? You'll be one of the best probably, if you could figure that out,"

"I am sir, but can you rig the hat?" Harry asked. Dumbledore shook his head, and Harry slumped.

(A/N I know the chapters are short, but once I get to the good stuff I can write more! R/R please, I need lots of review for longer chapters! J )
