Chapter 6: Secrets

Harry's feet hit the ground hard, but he managed to stay upright as the Portkey stopped inside the kitchen. Harry looked around and smiled. Mrs. Weasley was passing out coffee to a group of adults sitting at the table.

"Harry!" exclaimed Hermione Granger, his best friend, as she ran down the stairs.

"Hermione," murmured Harry, as she wrapped her arms around him in a tight friendly hug.

"I missed you," Hermione whispered into Harry's ear.

"I missed you too," said Harry. Harry kissed the top of Hermione's forehead softly before letting her go from the embrace.

"I need to talk to Harry alone. And then if Harry chooses, he may be sharing a million secrets with you," said Dumbledore as he smiled. Everyone in the room left, leaving Dumbledore and Harry together in the kitchen. Hermione glanced back nervously at Harry and Dumbledore before leaving.

"Where are the Dursleys?" asked Harry.

"They are currently sleeping in one of our guest bedrooms here, where there is, of course, a lock on the door so they can not leave," said Dumbledore with a smile.

Harry sighed and sat down at the table.

"Harry, you know how your parents died, right?" asked Dumbledore. Harry nodded his head so Dumbledore continued. "There are however some things that you might not know."

"What do you mean?" asked Harry uneasily.

"I never told you what really happened…" said Dumbledore slowly. "They didn't die."

Harry stared at Dumbledore and then started to laugh. It was a loud and uncontrollable laugh.

"Why are you doing this to me?" asked Harry. "Why? Why? Do you want to hurt me even more? I don't need my parents, I'm not a stupid first year still. I have grown up a lot since then. I've been through more than you'll ever know!"

"Harry, I understand. I just want you to know that things have changed," said Dumbledore staring back at Harry.

"Yes, lots of things have changed and that's why I can never go back to when my parents were alive!"

"But your parents are alive!" said Dumbledore.

"No……THEY'RE NOT!" screamed Harry as he pounded his fist onto the table. The door into the kitchen slowly opened. Dumbledore didn't turn his head to look at who was coming through the door, he just watched Harry.

"IN the wizarding world we call you an adult when you turn 17... you turned 17 only an hour ago... so I want you to know everything now," said Dumbledore.

A woman with dark red hair and green eyes and glasses stepped through the door. Her emerald eyes raced up and down Harry's body. Her sad eyes took in Harry's eyes, his hair; his whole body.

"H-Harry?" asked the woman as she ran forward and placed her hand on Harry's cheek. Harry looked into the woman's eyes and then turned and pulled away from her.

"Who are you?" asked Harry fiercely…deep down however he knew who it was…it was his mom…
