Chapter 3- Listen to this and remember

Albus Dumbledore stood there for a moment, totally dumbfounded. How did this boy not know what had happened here. Anyone powerful enough for hundreds of miles around had felt the power that was released from this house.

"Harry, a great power was released from this area a little over one hour ago. Did you not notice anything peculiar go on of any sort?"

"What do you mean Professor by a energy release? I have been here in my room, not daring to go downstairs. I don't want to be bothered by the rest of my family," Harry stated cynically looking towards the other bedrooms through the doorway.

"Harry, look into the mirror over there. What do you see?"

Molly, by this point was in quite an anxious mood. She wanted to run to the boy to help him but at the same time felt a fear inside her of what power the boy must hold. 'What am I thinking, Harry isn't anything to be afraid of. I just hope he can deal with this along with everything else that has happened recently.'

Harry looked into the mirror that Albus had conjured and there in the reflection set him. This reflection was different though. He could see his green eyes flashing as though bits of lighting were flowing through them every minute or so. And in the middle of his chest, there was a ball of energy glowing white like the sun. Silence was all that could be heard in the room as Harry sat there trying to take in and understand what he was seeing.

"Harry, this mirror I conjured shows the amount of magical power the person looking into it holds. As you can see the amount of energy in you is just barely being contained in your body."

'Sir...what do you mean? I'm not that powerful, I couldn't even save Sirius from dying or my friends being hurt."

"I know this Harry, we all know if you could have helped any of them you would have. Remus knows this, Moody knows this, Molly knows this, and I most certainly know this. This has been another hardship placed onto you."

Molly, as this point couldn't stop herself from interrupting.

"Harry dear, Ron has been begging to write to you but we didn't know if it was ok to write for fear of it being traced or followed. Everyone is fine right now and we are all staying at #12 for safety. Ginny has been trying to sneak info with those extendable ears her brothers make so that she could tell you without us knowing."

"Without some of us knowing anyways," Albus chuckled with a glint in his eye.

"Either way, she has also been begging to write you or come see you. No one is blaming you for what happened in the Department of Ministries and you shouldn't blame yourself"

With Molly having had a little outlet, she sat on the end of the bed, being a comforting presence for Harry as he struggled to understand what was going on.

"Professor Dumbledore, what does this have to do with the energy release that you were talking about earlier."?

"Well Harry, it seems that all your grief and anger over your grandfather dying has broken a barrier none of us were aware of. Look into the mirror with me standing next to you. What difference do you see?"

"Well, you are taller than me sir of course, not by much anymore."

"No no Harry, look deeper at the mirror. Look at the power I am generating compared to the power you are generating."

Harry looked down towards his chest, looking at his power compared to Dumbledore's.

Harry stood there, mouth almost fully agape, staring at the mirror. The amount of energy being given off by Dumbledore was in truth little more than half of what the energy Harry was containing.

Moody took his chance to jump in along with Remus at this point.

"Harry, whatever happened tonight, a barrier broke inside you that was holding this power from being released. We don't know when this power was supposed to be manifested or where but the point is that you will require training to control this power. Right now, to cast the simplest of spells could be a disaster since too much energy may be released. Just shining a light with the a simple lumos spell could burn through a wall like sunlight magnified through a glass."

What Moody is trying to say Harry is that we are worried that this energy may be too much for you to handle. We want to take you back with us to number 12 so that we can learn more about what it is that has happened and figure out what to do?"

"That's fine with me Remus. I'll be glad to get out of here. All they have done since you threatened them so at the train station is totally ignore me. It's like I don't exist."

Moody turned around then, looking at the door.

"Albus, I believe we have a visitor listening in at the door."

At this, the door slowly opened and Aunt Petunia stood there.

"Petunia, what are you doing up, we believed you to be asleep."

"I have been trying to get back to sleep, however, I witnessed what happened that you were discussing. The boy floated in the air and light struck out form him in every direction. I had been walking to the bedroom when I heard him crying out over and over. I saw it start and then the door slammed shut and locked and I ran into the bedroom scared about what was happening."

'Was there anything else Petunia that you have to tell us," Dumbledore asked. The look in his eye betraying the knowledge that he thought there was something else to this random witnessing of Petunia's kindness.

"As you know, Lily and that Man disappeared. After Harry came to us from you, the next day I received a box containing this simple keepsake."

Petunia stood there holding out a cherry wood box, beautifully detailed in gold and scarlet.

Remus was the only one to recognize what the box was.

"That was Lily's music box, she used it to store memories and dreams in its messages of song."

"There was a note with it, it said to give this to Harry when I thought it was the appropriate time. It said I would know when the time is right. Well....here it is."

With that, Petunia hurried out of the room, scared as to what was going to happen. She had heard the comment of how powerful the boy was and want him to have no reason to remember the last 15 years while in use of this power.

Dumbledore looked at the box, releasing that whenever it was opened, it would play something to which may explain to them how Harry came to have more power than even the Headmaster himself.

"Harry, you should open this. Don't worry Harry, we are all right here. Me, Moody, Remus, and Molly will not go anywhere no matter what it says or does. We are all here to listen."

Harry nodded to Professor Dumbledore, looked at Remus and Molly for encouragement, and then slowly opened up the music box.

A gasp came from all those in the room except Harry as a voice came out of the box.

"My son, if you are hearing this then you are no doubt looking for answers. My son, Listen and remember"

Harry started to go into a trance state, along with the rest of those in the room. All they could here was, in a whispering yet loving voice was "My son, I love you. ... Listen to this and remember."

As before I love cliffhangers... read and review...later =)
