Harry sat there his mind reeling with the information he had just absorbed. He read through one more time, a chill crawling down his spine as he shuddered involuntarily.

'The Imperius potion is the Imperius curse in liquid form. Surprisingly, it is not legal, but that can be reasoned with if the enquirer knows how difficult it is to make one. The ingredients and the recipes are long lost but there is one potions master who has the ability to recreate it. Severus Snape, modifier of the wolfsbane is widely recognised as the greatest potions master in Britain.

Other European countries hold him in high esteem and many had offered exorbitant sums of gold in exchange for his services. However, he became the potions master at Hogwarts due to his loyalty to Dumbledore. This potion must be used alone or the drinker would suffer a condition in which they would not be able to fight off the potion. In other words, the person who commissions it will put in a hair or other part of their body, similar to a Polyjuice draft. This results in total loyalty, it is rumoured that one Bellatrix Black Lestrange was the recipient of one of these mixed potions. This gives a reason as to why the Lestrange's, a neutral family pledged allegiance to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

There is one positive about this mixture of potion, it increases power although artificially and learning prowess. The main requirement of this potion is Basilisk poison and Acromantula hair. Neither of which are possible to attain as it would take two hundred years for a grown Basilisk to get the most potency from its venom. The hair from an Acromantula must be taken while it is in full health. It is unlikely that this potion will be recreated anytime soon.

Rose memory potion

This potion can be explained by using a muggle expression when one person has a more positive view of the same thing as another. This phrase is also used on naïve people who do not believe something is as bad as it is. The expression is, "You are viewing the world through rose tinted glasses". This potion suppresses the memories in which major negative feelings arise and flicks through more positive things, which make the drinker more susceptible to trust. The downsides are that, it can be countered easily and it can only focus on one thing at a time. For example if you were to focus on making a troublesome child more manageable then he would do that – nothing else.

This potion must have ultimate clearance, in the current timeframe the most important members of the ministry have clearance of the whole set of spells and potions, whether they are dark or light.

Amiability potion

This is a simple mood altering potion with little affect on people, however it makes the person calmer than usual. It is usually administered to children of great power so that their accidental magic does not cause much damage. '

He sighed, too emotionally exhausted to be angry, and filled with loathing for the old man. It was clouding his mind so he went into his pensieve, watching a memory of his father.

In the pensieve

James was walking down the aisle towards the Gryffindor table; he looked as if he was a fourth year, when he came across Snape. The greasy git was holding what looked like an hourglass. Genuinely curious, he asked,

"Hey Sevvie, what's that you got there" the hall quieted down to listen to this dialogue.

"None of your business Potter" he scowled at James who put a hand to his heart as if Snape had struck a mortal blow.

"Oh Sevvie, how could you be so cruel?" he said in a high-pitched voice, drawing snickers from most of the audience.

Snape snapped out, "It's a time turner, so I can go and stop my previous future self from bedding your mother and creating you" the Slytherins broke out into laughter, which subsided quickly once they saw James grin.

James bobbed his head up and down violently in Snape's direction grinning all the while. Everyone else looked confused but Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling, as always he knew what James was going to say.

"What in Merlin's name are you doing Potter?" Snape snarled, looking quite menacing but this did not faze James one bit.

"I was just checking to see if there was any truth in what you said" James whispered theatrically and everyone heard. Snape was still confused but did not show it.

"How does that help, or has your tiny mind finally gone over the edge?"

"Well Sevvie, I reasoned, using my tiny brain, that if I was your son then I would be able to fling greaseballs at you from my head…" what he said next was largely drowned out by the raucous laughter from the hall.

Harry glanced across to his mother, who was trying and failing miserably to hold in a laugh. He himself laughed himself sick and somehow managed to control himself for the next memory.

Fade in new memory

This one was different; he could hear his mother's thoughts.

Lily sat on the sofa in the common room crying, the last time she had cried like this was when she had wasted a year in showing her feelings for James, only to find out that it was all an act. He was not arrogant, well yes he was but he was only arrogant in the things he earned. He was the heir to Gryffindor yet he had not used his status to get attention. She only knew because she had overheard him the previous night.

This time though, she cried out of anger and frustration. She could not stand the prejudice against muggles and the blatant hate, which was rampant in the school.

Remus ran into the room and dragged her out towards the Quidditch pitch, where she saw a formal duel setup. She glanced anxiously at James as he stepped up onto the raised platform.

Harry watched in undisguised awe as James brutally dealt with Snape, painfully and mercilessly. He had transfigured various items he had conjured previously into a variety of animas and objects. Snape was charged down five times by a bull, his physical shield only serving to preventing bones breaking but he would have a huge bruise come the morning. He did not know how powerful his father was but this gave an indication of it.

Lily watched on as James' eyes got colder and harder, she had to stop this before Snape was killed. Snape's wand fell out of his hand and the count began. James seemingly ignored this and continued marching towards Severus with a growing cold demeanour. She ran up to him, put her arms around him, and rested her chin on his chest. He turned his cold eyes towards her, upon which he immediately softened.

Snape by now had gathered his wand and fired a banishing spell but Lily took the brunt of it, landing ten feet away. James turned around and blasted a dark arts spell – "Skelo-destructo" right in to Snape causing his ribs and clavicle to break.

Harry turned his attention back towards his parents where James had gathered up Lily in his arms and was running towards the hospital wing.

End memory

Snape had picked the wrong time to piss Harry off, especially when Harry was already pissed at him.

Trying to push to the back of his mind, he looked over at the other cauldron he had running. It was a lineage potion; he wanted to find out about his family it would be ready in an hour.

He went out again for a walk this time and came across an excited group of students all of which were in last years DA.

"Harry! OI! Harry! Over here, we have something to show you, come check it out. He accepted the pile of parchment and looked through the first one.

Harry was shocked to the core; they had their certificates redone just to acknowledge his help. He felt a lump in the back of his throat and he whispered out his thanks, not trusting his voice. Despite that, he felt a warm feeling inside as he looked through each parchment which had his name there instead of Umbridge'. When he came to the last one his eyes widened in wonder.

"Fuck, he works for the bloody order; I'll have to ask dear minister Corny." Everyone started to cheer at Harry not understanding his words. Harry grinned sheepishly.

Unnoticed Dumbledore watched him with no small amount of pride, he sighed at himself. He had to try to control Harry, Dumbledore remembered being in a similar situation as the boy. Dumbledore had thought he was immortal and had been handed his arse by the previous Dark Lord Persecutus. It had nearly killed him, oh, Harry was good, of that, there was no doubt, but Dumbledore knew that he could beat him easily as would Voldemort.

The boy was still too rash, Severus had given Harry the rose memory potion without the headmasters consent, and now it seemed Harry would blame him. He knew Harry had been listening to him in the dungeons – he had set him up. Severus had brought most of the hate upon himself as he had He knew Harry would not trust him again, but he really had no other choice. He was used to death, he was no longer affected by it, – and perhaps it was his time to retire? Getting an idea, he asked Fawkes to deliver twelve books from his personal library to Harry's bed.

Next to the old wizard, Filius Flitwick nearly burst with pride. The boy was a true hero. The boy in him just had a massive boost of strength from his friends, for now the child was live and kicking.

Suddenly a letter came by owl, it was from Severus, – Voldemort was coming. Flitwick's eyes widened as Dumbledore signalled the order to assemble at their pre discussed points. Today it was make or break, if the order repelled them they would gain self-confidence if they lost they would not be alive to regret it.

Authors notes:

Quoth the raven: Harry merely wishes to use the all out clearance for intimidation. However, he has decided that death eaters need to die. He is becoming ruthless isn't he? I am trying to keep him both cheerful and vengeful at the same time. Snape is truly a bastard in this fic isn't he. Anyway, the imperius potion is not going to be used for what you think it is ;).

Ron Weasley is my king: Harry has long hair because his aunt asked him to keep it, on Snape's orders. Since he was on good terms with them, he kept it. Snape's reasoning is that the purebloods in the ministry and others will more than likely follow someone who looks aristocratic and similar to them. This way it shows that it represents him, in their view as a powerful wizard. The other people would follow him because he fights for their ideals thus keeping both happy. As for Ron and Hermione, I believe that Hermione would side with Dumbledore against Harry. This is because one she follows the rules unless they are very necessary and two she would consider it as it is for Harry's good. Harry puts his trust in few people for a reason and since they betrayed him (From his view), HE has distanced himself from them afraid of getting hurt. Ron would do what his mother told him to do no questions asked

No the Weasleys will not be getting divorced; she is unaware of her husbands support of Harry. Percy is a moron so I will not be putting him in a position of trust anytime soon. As for Remus, how can he come into the school without being caught?

Athenakitty: Yes, you can e-mail me anytime and the other questions were answered in this chapter.

Imill123: Dumbledore as another Dark Lord? It would not work; Dumbledore is the most respected wizard in the world as well as the most knowledgeable barring maybe Nicolas Flamel and his wife. He is rich beyond any people's dreams and he usually just has to say the word and he gets whatever he needs done. Plus Dumbledore is too old now as he said himself, he would not be able to defeat Harry or voldemort at their strongest.

Sweetest thang: I made it so Harry would not have much time to think of her, she will be getting close to him soon but now he has a problem with which he must deal first. Then he will get with her.

This is not a very good chapter im afraid but I wanted to upload one before I started on coursework due in on Tuesday, so I wont be updating for at least a week.

Thank you to all my reviewers, happy New Year!
