Chapter 3: The Secret
"I don't want him to have a heart attack" Dumbledore said.
"Fuuny" McGonaggal said "He said the same about you, before he transformed".
"Transformed" Snape asked.
"Yes. He can transform into animals, magical animals, and people" Mr. Weasley said.
"Oh. Albus he has another free period know" McGonaggal said.
"Yes. I suspect he'll be coming here so he doesn't have to come on the weekend" Dumbledore said. And he was right. He walked in the door a minute later.
"Hello Professor" he said to Dumbledore. He took a seat in the middle of the room next to Hermione. Snape walked up to them and leaned on the desk.
"Mr. Potter. This class I wish you to get your potion correct. No one is going to beat you" he said. Harry looked at him embarresed.
"Miss. Granger don't help him" Snape said. Hermione nodded. Snape began class. McGonaggal, Dumbledore, and Mr, Weasley stayed for the lesson. They were making a veritisarum. Harry added his ingrediants and Snape watched him.
"Mr. Potter you have not once looked at the board" Snape said. Harry nodded.
"Why is that" Snape asked.
"I memorized all the potions" Harry said. The entire class looked at him as he continued to add ingrediants, and stir it. He added his last ingrediant stirred it and it gave a puff of blue smoke. He looked at it. It was so clear he could see the bottem of his cauldron. Snape inspected it.
"This is excellent" he said.
"Thank-you" Harry murmered. Snape laddled it into a small vial. He handed more of them to Harry.
"I want you to laddle this into every one of these until it's gone" he said. Harry nodded and began to add the veritisarum to the vial's. There were about 50 of them and he filled them all. Snape took them and placed them in his cabinet. The bell rang to signal the end of class for Lunch. Harry walked out with a smile on his face. He walked with Hermione into the Great Hall until he had to go up to the staff table. He sat down next to Dumbledore.
"That was an excellent potion you made Harry" he said.
"Thank-you sir" Harry said. McGonaggal looked at Dumbledore.
"I must tell you something Harry. Meet me in my office after lunch. You have a free period right" Dumbledore said.
"Yes" Harry said. He continued to eat his lunch and stood up with Dumbledore. He led him out and up to his office. Dumbledore sat down behind his desk and Harry sat in front of it.
"Now. You may think you have no family but you are wrong. There is 1 more member of your family in the wizarding world. He is here at Hogwarts" Dumbledore said.
"Who" harry asked feeling nervous. Dumbledore stood up and paced around nervosly.
"Well. He hid himself from you to protect your family. Your mother never knew. I was her Grandfather" Dumbledore said stopping.
"So. You're my Great Grandfather" Harry asked. Dumbledore nodded. Harry stood up and threw himself at him. He hugged him and suprisingly started crying. Dumbledore hugged him back not used to this. Harry pulled back and laughed at himself. He wipped his tears away and smiled.
"I am sorry" Dumbledore said.
"That's all right. But why did Voldemort want to kill my parents" Harry asked. "Well part of it was the prophecy I told you about in your 5th year and the other part is that we are the heirs od Gryffindor. Well actually the youngest family member is and that's you" Dumbledore said.
"Right. So do you want to come watch my class. I have the 7th year Slytherins to deal with" Harry said.
"Why sure. I'll come" Dumbledore said and stood up. They walked out of the office and down the stairs. They walked along three halls until they came to his classroom. They walked in and the class was talking loudly and sitting on desks. Dumbledore was about to say something when Harry put his fingers to his lips and gave a shrill whistle. The class looked at him and slid into desks. Harry walked to his desk and Dumbledore went to the back.
"Today we will be reading the 1st chapter in your book. After you have finished look up curses, hexes, and spells you think might be usful in an obsticale course. It will be somewhat like what I faced in the 3rd task of the Triwizard tournament. There will be a written test aswell" Harry said. The class started reading their books. Harry wrote something on the board.
"Also try to find what this says. There is Latin in your books" he said. He sat down at his desk and began to write. He was creating a test for every class. They were all different so they couldn't cheat. Then Professor Sprout barged into the room. She walked up to Harry and whispered in his ear. Harry stood quickly and walked back to Dumbledore.
"Can you watch the class. I'll be right back. I have to deal with a Death Eater in the Greenhouses" Harry said. Dumbledore nodded and Harry ran out of the class with Professor Sprout on his heels. They ran across the lawn. Harry entered the 7th greenhouse where the death eater was. He was on the floor with a set of ropes around his arms, and legs. There was a gag on his mouth. His face was covered. Sprout stayed on the outside as Harry sat next to the man. He lifted the mask then threw it to the side.
"So Peter you decided to come and turn ourself in did you" Harry asked casually. Peter tried to say something but the gag blocked it. Harry lifted the gag and Peter repeated it.
"I was looking for you" Peter said.
"No you weren't. You were looking for the plant of life" Harry said. He grabbed the bindings that held his hands togather and started to drag him up to the school. It was easy. But instead of going up the stairs he turned into a pheonix and grabbed him by the ropes. He lifted into the air and flew in the open window of his class room. He set him down and turned back into himself.
"Look at this class. I caught a dark wizard for us" Harry said. The class all looked at him. They looked at the person on the floor. Harry propped him up and let the class see him.
"You may know who this is. This is Peter Petigrew. Also known as Wormtail" Harry said.
"Prove he's a Death Eater" Malfoy said.
"Fine" Harry said. He pulled up Peter's right hand sleeve. There was the dark mark upon his forearm. Dumbledore walked forward.
"What was he doing" he asked.
"Trying to get to the plant of life" Harry said.
"He's lying" Peter said.
"Am I" Harry said "Then why were you in Greenhouse 7". Peter was quite.
"That's what I thought" Harry said. The bell rang to dismise class and Harry stood by Dumbledore.
"I'll go get some Veritisarum and I'll owl the Ministry" Harry said before he left. He ran to the dungeons. He knocked on the door. A student answered it. He sat back down and Harry approached Snape.
"I need some veritisarum" Harry said.
"Why" Sanpe asked walking to the cabinet.
"I caught Peter Pettigrew" Harry said. Snape looked at him.
"Class is dismissed" Snape said "Where is he".
"He's in my classroom I need to go owl the Ministry" Harry said. They both took off at a run. Harry headed for the owlery and Snape headed to the DADA classroom. Harry got to the owlery and sent a note off with Hedwig.
"Take this to the ministry as fast as you can" Harry said.
AN: Sorry I took awhile. I can't think of anymore to write. I'll try to get the 4th chapter up before I leave for Cheer camp. But once I start school I can't post as much because I'll have to much Homework. I'm going into 9th grade. I'm so happy.
"I don't want him to have a heart attack" Dumbledore said.
"Fuuny" McGonaggal said "He said the same about you, before he transformed".
"Transformed" Snape asked.
"Yes. He can transform into animals, magical animals, and people" Mr. Weasley said.
