Disclaimer: I own nothing.
This is something that I entered into a competition, that had been at Ottakar's Book shop. You were given a paragraph from the Order of The Phoenix and you had to write in less then 200 words of what you think happened next.
AND I WON!!!! Well, it was only £10 voucher, but still, I won. So enjoy! (The paragraph from the book is in 'speech marks', OK?)

'Dumbledore lowered his hands, and surveyed Harry through his half moon glasses. "It is time," he said, "For me to tell you what I should have told you, five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything." '
Dumbledore opened his mouth closed it, and sighed. Harry could tell that Dumbledore was just as nervous as he was. "Harry, have you ever wondered about your grand-parents on your Dad's side?" Harry nodded silently, "Well, I'm sorry to say that they were both killed by Lord Voldemort, years ago, when your father was in his fourth year. The Ministry tried to get James in a muggle orphanage, where he would learn no more magic. But I saw something in James, that no one could see, except his friends and Lily, and I knew he would be a great wizard, so I adopted him." Harry was about to open his mouth, but Dumbledore held up a hand and said, "Harry, I know this a shock, but please let me speak." Harry closed his mouth. "No one knew about the adoption, except your mother and his secret keeper. But Peter betrayed them, all of us. Voldemort knew that, to get to me, he had to kill James and his family. I'm sorry."
"So, you're my grandfather?" Harry whispered. Dumbledore, the spark in his eyes gone, nodded slowly, and a tear ran down his cheek and splashed silently onto the floor.
