Chapter 13

Truth

Harry stopped. He turned his eyes upon Dumbledore, hoping that this was just another one of Voldemort's evil lies. Dumbledore only looked down to him with his crystal blue eyes.

"Do you deny it Albus?" Voldemort asked, eyes glinting with excitement for he had seen the horror brought to Harry's face. Dumbledore looked up to him with his eyes flashing with anger. He had a look of distaste on his face while he spoke.

"No, I don't," Dumbledore said slowly. Voldemort smiled as he heard Harry stop breathing and a flicker of anger appeared in his thoughts. But Voldemort also read a look of confusion.

"How are you confused Harry?" Voldemort asked, his power reading deeper into Harry's thoughts. Harry ignored him and looked down to the floor. Dumbledore kept his eyes on Harry as he saw that he was wincing in pain.

Harry struggled to get out of the demon's arms but this was pointless for Voldemort only held onto him tighter as he continued to read the boy's thoughts, causing even more damage to his mind. Harry started to yell as he continued to try to get loose but it didn't help.

"Stop!" Dumbledore yelled as he stood up and tried to run over to Voldemort who was still holding Harry. Voldemort stopped what he was doing and murmured a spell. Dumbledore hit an invisible barrier that contained them. Dumbledore fell to the ground on his back.

Voldemort smirked and turned his attention back to Harry who was still in his arms, breathing heavily. His hands where on his face while he shook his head back and forth. He was whispering under his breath and was deeply shaken.

"Well Dumbledore, you have been playing with young Potter's mind for too long. I think that it is time to tell him what secrets you have been keeping from him. Like the way you felt the night that I had killed Lily and James," Voldemort said as he looked up to Dumbledore who had gotten up off of the ground and was trying to get through the barrier.

Dumbledore stopped and looked up to Voldemort while anger flared in his eyes. Harry looked at him and thought what possibly Voldemort could mean by this. Voldemort was the one to kill them, not Dumbledore! And Wormtail was the traitor! Also, Dumbledore wanted to protect them, not harm them!

"Ah, that may be true but he kept his feeling deep inside him. Just like you I would say," Voldemort said as he continued to read Harry's thoughts. Harry stopped thinking about that and told Voldemort through his thoughts to put him down. Voldemort placed Harry on his feet but kept a tight grip on him.

Harry then returned his thoughts to what Voldemort said. He turned his eyes to lay upon Dumbledore who had his hands placed on the force field holding him back. He returned Harry's gaze as he clenched his right hand into a fist and hit the shield.

He was thrown backwards and Voldemort laughed as he landed on his back yet again. But this time he couldn't get up. He stayed that way and took slow, long breaths of air. He closed his eyes tightly as he tried to transport Harry away from the horrible place but it was no use.

"I placed a spell upon Harry so he couldn't be transported by anyone. Clever, yes?" Voldemort said as he scanned over Dumbledore's thoughts. Harry fidgeted ever so slightly in Voldemort's grasp which made Voldemort look down to him.

"What, miss your Godfather? Oh yes, Albus, your Potion's master killed your little friend Black," Voldemort said as he pulled his thoughts back to Dumbledore. Dumbledore stopped trying to get up and his eyes filled with fright. He stood up quickly and walked as far as he could go.

Harry looked up from the ground and looked up to his Headmaster, wondering if he really did know him. Dumbledore's eyes were wet with tears as he tired to hid them. Harry was shocked to be seeing Dumbledore crying. He thought that he was able to control his fear, his feelings.

"Now, that I have the Ministry of Magic in my grip I can now have my trial," Voldemort said as he placed a smile on his face, "To tell the world that Harry Potter really does belong to me."

"What?" Harry gasped, wondering what he meant. Voldemort looked down to Harry and Harry looked up to him, green meeting red. Voldemort scanned over Harry's thoughts and smiled as he looked up to Dumbledore.

"So you never told him? What, did James think that it would be too much? You need not to try to hide the truth; it will soon come out," Voldemort said. Dumbledore's eyes widened as he looked at Voldemort and then quickly down to Harry.

"Harry, I am sorry. I kept too much from you. But still, I not sure if you can take in this piece of information," Dumbledore said. Voldemort kept his gaze on Harry and whispered something that made Harry go still, forgetting everything else in life. It was as if someone slapped him in the face. The last words before Voldemort stunned him and took him away from the room and into a cell.

"I am your grandfather."
