Harry was sitting in the headmaster's office knowing that even if he wanted to get out he wouldn't be able to because of the strong locking spell that the headmaster placed on the office door.
Looking up when he heard the office door open to reveal the four heads of houses coming in to apparently take part in the conversation that the headmaster wanted.
"Hello Alexander," Minerva said to the young boy that looked worn out from the fight. "You did a good deed this evening."
Harry didn't bother to reply and just leaned back in the chair that he was in waiting for the headmaster.
Dumbledore walked into his office and sat down behind his desk looking out at the people gathered before him. The heads of houses were all looking at him waiting to see what was going to happen, and Alexander was sitting in a chair looking down at the ground.
"I have asked all of you to meet with me in my office because we are going to find out what happened with Harry the summer that he disappeared."
"But Albus isn't Harry dead?"
Albus looked up at the head of the Hufflepuff house and said, "No Harry isn't dead, and he is in fact very much alive and with us today right now."
Everyone in the room was silent waiting to see what happened next. Seeing no one move to ask any questions Albus opened one of his desk drawers and pulled out a bottle of Veritaserum and set it on top of the desk.
"Alexander, if you don't mind, I would like to give you some Veritaserum so that the others can know the truth," Albus said with an evil glint in his eyes.
Harry nodded hoping that he would remember his training with truth serums.
"Please open your mouth."
Alexander complied while Albus placed three drops of the clear liquid on the boy's tongue and waited a few minutes while the potion began to work.
"What is your name?"
"Alexander Salazar Ravenclaw."
There was a collective gasp of surprise from the occupants in the room except Dumbledore if his facial expression changed it all it reflected a look of anger.
"How dare you lie," Hissed Albus at Alexander.
Minerva looked sharply up at Albus.
"How could he lie Albus? He is under the effects of the serum that you gave to him."
"Silence!" Albus shouted at the other occupants of the room.
"What is your true name?"
"Alexander Salazar Ravenclaw."
Minerva looked at Albus wondering what he was playing at. He forced a child to take Veritaserum and his question about name and who knows what else he might feel like. 'This is wrong,' she thought to herself.
"Albus the boy is saying who he is. Wouldn't it be better to leave him alone?"
Albus looked up at Minerva. His usual blue eyes were jet black and held no emotion in them.
"Silentio," Albus said as a blue light came out of his wand and struck Minerva in the face. When she tried to move her mouth to speak she discovered that she had no mouth.
"Emoveo," Harry said as a red light came out of his hand and struck the headmaster in the back disarming him while stunning him.
There was silence in the room. Everyone was looking at Harry waiting to see what happened next.
"Finite Incantatum," Harry said looking at Minerva and watched as her mouth reappeared. "That was not you headmaster."
"How could that be?" asked professor Sprout.
"The headmaster Dumbledore has made a deal with Voldemort," Harry paused to let this sink in to the heads of the four heads of houses, but continued before they could all speak. "I know that most of you think that either Harry Potter is missing or is dead, let me tell you that this is not the case. I am Harry Potter."
"But how could you be Harry Potter if you said that your name was Alexander Salazar Ravenclaw?" asked the tiny professor Flitwick.
"As you may know I disappeared for a little over a year, thirteen months to be exact. I was in another place. I walked through the veil thinking that I would be able to die and live peacefully, but that was not the case.
"I was in a spirit world where I was able to interact with people who have died or souls that are going to be placed into bodies to experience a life. While I was there I was able to meet my parents, founders, and Merlin. They decided to send me back after the thirteen years that I spent there. To say the least I am older than I appear."
"But how does it appear as if you were a seventh year?" Minerva asked.
Harry stood up and looked at all of the heads of house and decided that he was going to show them his true form. Concentrating on what he looked like before he came back to this world he felt his body slowly shift into his real form.
In the headmaster's office stood a man looking like he was in his late forties. Harry had grown over the years that he was away into a man that was around 6ft high that had straight long jet black hair that hung down to the ground. He had a muscular build that enabled him to fight with almost any weapon with the grace and ease of a true master. He no longer needed to wear glasses because he had learned how to magically fix his vision problems and he bright green eyes now had a mixture of blue in them. The famous lightening bolt scar that was in the middle of his forehead still remained there. This truly was Harry Potter.
To say the least, the people in the room were shocked. In front of them stood a man that knew what he was doing. Harry had was no longer a child, he had seen too much pain and suffering in his life to rival that of the best wizards of the world.
"The founders, my parents and Merlin decided to train me in all that they knew so that I would be able to come back to this world and defeat Voldemort once and for all. But there was a catch. When Voldemort dies I will have to stay in the world and be it's guardian protecting it from the evil that is to come."
"Why would you have to stay?"
"That was why I was born. It is my destiny to protect this realm from all of the evil that would try and consume it," Harry paused and took a deep breath. "I am a guardian."
There was silence. Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Pomona Sprout, and Filius Flitwick were all stunned. They knew there was a guardian assigned to each realm or world to protect it from harm, but none of them had ever met one, ever.
"I know that this is a lot of information to tell you all at once, but please try and understand that you have to do something about Albus. He was and still is a good person, but he had made a deal with Voldemort to not try and fight against him as long as Voldemort would leave Hogwarts alone."
"But the Dark Lord didn't keep that promise up," Severus said putting the pieces together.
"Yes, he knew that even Dumbledore had free reign of the school if he was in power that Dumbledore would still train the children to fight against him. Dumbledore sacrificed himself for the cause of the school."
There again was silence. This time Minerva spoke.
"What are we going to do with him?" she said gesturing to Dumbledore who was still slumped over his desk.
"I can't tell you what to do with him, but I would like you find so way to get rid of him and the defense against the dark arts teacher."
"Why the other person?" Minerva asked.
"That person is also working for Voldemort to make sure that Dumbledore is doing what he is supposed to be doing."
"How would we get rid of them? I mean that we can't just randomly sack a person for working for the Dark Lord," Severus said. "We would need to get rid of the headmaster first."
"But how would we do that?"
"Getting rid of the headmaster is simple," Harry began. "He would have to either die, or be moved to St. Mungo's under the condition that he is mentally unstable. I will be able to help you with whatever you decide should be Dumbledore's fate, but I cannot choose."
We have a tie!!! I still need to choose Harry's animal form and we have a tie between the silver phoenix and a black panther with green eyes. Please tell me if you want one of those or both?
Thanks for reviewing!
