Another Truth Comes Out
"So the Mrs Figg that took care of me all these years when Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon took Dudley out, was or even is another Secret Keeper?! Why didn't you tell me?" Harry replied, shocked.
"Because you didn't need to know. Also if Voldemort ever got a hold of you, and you told him under torture, he would have come after her and killed her, and you." Dumbledore explained.
"It was also my idea that you didn't know. "An elderly voice spoke up." Harry and Petunia whirled around and saw that Mrs Figg was behind them.
"Did anyone else knew?" Harry asked, slightly miffed. He hated the fact that people were keeping secrets from him, things that he had the right to know about.
Just then there was another knock on the door and the ring of the bell. Harry went up to open it and saw that Sirius was standing there with Remus Lupin, another one of Harry's father James's best friends. Harry let them in.
"Did you know that Mrs Figg was my Secret Keeper?" he asked them.
Both Sirius and Remus looked slightly taken aback, but they nodded. They looked at each other and Sirius spoke up apologetically "We did, sorry we didn't tell you, but Dumbledore and Arabella didn't want you knowing. Also as I am you godfather, it is my duty to protect you and to get someone to watch you when I can't.
Harry sighed. "Fine. I hate that there are some secrets that you are keeping from me." Harry turned to Mrs Figg and asked: "I was wondering, why did you become my Secret Keeper?"
"It's a long story. It started when your parents were at Hogwarts. I was there too teaching Defence against the Dark Arts and Charms. I got very close to your parents. Lily was the best student at Charms and they were both very good at Defence against the Dark Arts, and I used to teach them extra lessons. Also as the war with Voldemort went on, they and Dumbledore plus I had been members of the Order of the Phoenix so we got to work together very often. So, after Hogwarts, we were still members of the Order, and Lily found out that she was pregnant with you, she told Dumbledore at an Order meeting. At the time, I'd happened to be there when they suggested ways of concealing you, I was the one who told them of the Fidelius charm. Also I suggested that if their Secret Keeper went to Voldemort, I would know about Harry so that I could protect you. So after some convincing, James and Lily agreed. You see Dumbledore agreed beforehand that it was a good idea, but he couldn't order them, because it wasn't his place." Mrs Figg said.
"I get it. But then how did Sirius find out?" Harry asked, confused.
"When I was on the run from the Ministry, remember that you and your friend's Ron and Hermione weren't my only correspondence; so was Dumbledore. He told me about the extra Secret Keeper. I was a bit surprised, but I agreed to it." Sirius answered patiently.
"I see. Well how can we help to get my Uncle and possibly my cousin back. also, is it possible for Dudley to become a wizard and get magical powers? Harry asked, wanting to change the subject, as he wanted to get on with saving his family.
