----Chapter Ten----
Ten minutes past and the train pulled in along a small building. Night had set in and the stars were twinkling brighter than diamonds as the train slowly emptied. To Harry's right there were carriages that were without any horses to pull them. To his left a huge lake was stretched out almost as far as you could see, along the shoreline little boat dotted the coast. Beyond the sparkling lake a huge castle could be seen, just barely, as it sprawled across the very end of the lake.
Harry's attention was called back to present as a deep voice boomed over the rest. "First yers! First yers follow me!" 'Hagrid!' Harry thought happily. It was all Harry could do the not run to the man as he recognized a note of sadness in Hagrid's voice. Harry wanted to hug the man and say everything was all right, he also wanted to ask where Sirius was but he held back and climbed into a plush boat. Ron, Hermione, And Neville soon joined him.
As the boats started moving Harry heard Hermione whisper "Wow! It's more beautiful than in the books!" Harry whispered "Yeah." In agreement, but was cut off by Ron's ill-covered attempt to hide his laughter with a series of coughs.
As they reached the school all of the first years were led to a dark damp room to wait for the sorting to begin. Harry laughed at the many rumors that were going around silently, but when he heard that they would have to fight a troll he started laughing out loud. Other students upon seeing this display slowly backed away from Harry, looking as if the laughing boy had gone crazy, and might now be a danger. Seeing this Harry stopped quickly and made a quick apology to the other kids.
Harry put his ear to the door.
He tuned out the others as Dumbledore said "Attention everyone, as you all know that if Harry Potter had been living this would have been his first year at Hogwarts. Out of respect we will call his name during the sorting. Now lets Begin..."
Before the man had a chance to finish his speech Harry pulled a stern-looking woman, Minerva Mcgonagle or aunt Minnie, aside and said. "Miss I need to speak to the headmaster before I am sorted."
"Very well." Minerva said as she swept off.
Harry went to talk to Ron while he waited. While the conversation with Ron went on Ron did most of the talking, Harry laughed when Hemione's eyes lit up when Ron mentioned the possibility of a test of some sorts.
Soon Minerva returned with Albus. Albus Dumbledore looked wearily at the boy before him, he had long black hair that was tied back with a leather thong, and his eyes were emerald, Albus could not help but think he had seen those eyes some where before, and the boy looked healthy, almost like Harry would have if he had not perished when he was dropped at the Dursley's.
'Ah. Harry." Thought Albus 'he was so powerful for a child I suppose that if he had lived he would have been more powerful than myself and all under my control. Yes it was a pity, a pity to lose such a powerful pawn.'
"Ahh. Minerva informed me you wish to have a meeting with me before being sorted." Albus said.
"Yes sir, "Harry said, "but can we go somewhere more private, I want to tell you something that I think will do some harm if wrong people were to overhear."
"Very well." Albus said wearily 'What does this boy want?' he thought to himself irritably.
Albus led Harry through a maze, which was completely unnecessary before leading him to his office. Along the way Harry couldn't help but notice the simple beauty, the antiquity of the castle. All to soon they were at the gargoyle that guarded the headmaster's office. Dumbledore gestured for Harry to take a seat, and then conjured up a cup of tea, while he was turned retrieving lemon drops he slipped a potion into the drink. He was rather relived as the child accepted the Tea and lemon drop.
Harry almost laughed as he sniffed the tea and smelt the faint pungent smell of verituserum wafting to greet him.
Harry cleared his throat before saying "Headmaster before i take the Truth serum tea, I wonder if I can tell you my story so you can compare it to the one you receive under the serum?"
Harry could have laughed at the headmasters comical expression of shock and disbelief. "Ok." The headmaster finally said.
Harry sighed and said, "There is one condition though... you can not interrupt me."
Albus agreed again, though he was getting more annoyed by the second.
"First of all my name is Harry James Potter," Harry began. He frowned when Dumbledore gasped but then decided to ignore the man. "I was found in a forest abandoned, the man who found me took me to a muggle police station thinking that a muggle had lost me. There was a letter with me that greatly confused the police, and they came to the conclusion that I had been abandoned by a madman/ Madwoman. I was sent to a muggle orphanage where the man who found me, Matthew Knight, adopted me giving me the name Jacob. One week after the adoption went through Matt received the letter that was found with me, unlike the police he understood what it meant, but then he saw an article that declared me dead and even went as far as to claim to have a body. So since someone had clearly abandoned me he decided to raise me on his own. When i was old enough to understand he read me the letter, then the article. He called me Harry at home but everyone else, schools and my friends, knew me only as Jacob. Dad figured that you might have given up on me, but really wasn't surprised when my Hogwarts letter found me. Oh, if your wondering Matt is a wizard.
I have been proficient at Occlamency since i was ten, because i started having nightmares/ flashbacks about what happened that Halloween night. I do remember a conversation that took place in between a man called Hagrid or Ha'rid and the man who found me, and later a man dead, he name was Peter Pettigrew or Wormtail i didn't like him. The man who found me was P'foot or Uncle Siri. Hagrid tried to take me but Siri didn't like that. Soon you stepped out of the shadows and took me away and when we left Siri was trying not to cry. After that i don't remember, i must have fallen asleep." Harry finished
Before Dumbledore could say anything Harry took a huge gulp of the bitter tea, emptying the cup. His eyes glazed over and he felt kind of tired. Dumbledore proceeded to ask Harry what happened and much to Albus's surprise Harry repeated the story word for word.
"Finally' thought Dumbledore, ' I now have control!!'
After Albus gave Harry the antidote he stared at the boy for a few minutes, then he grasped the boy and much to Harry's horror he started to cry. After a few awkward minutes Harry pulled himself from the headmasters grip. Albus looked over Harry and nodded in silent agreement as they got up to head back to the Great Hall.
When they arrived the sorting had ended and everyone was patiently waiting the headmasters return. Everyone was listening when the head master stood up and made another announcement.
"My dear Teachers and students, a few minutes ago I was called away for a conference with a new student, he called to my attention thing of the past, his words were proved true when he stated things that only a person who was there would have, could have known. Please bear in mind the announcement i made earlier. Now we have a student to sort."
Dumbledore made his way to Harry and asked: "What name do you want to be called,?"
"Harry Potter." Harry replied and The headmaster Smiled brightly as he turned to leave, harry asked him
"Can you get Siri, Remmy, and Hagrid for me please?"
"Yes." Albus replied.
Before Dumbledore left he went to Mcgonagle and said:
"Minnie, Call Harry Potter again."
Minerva gasped as she glanced at Harry and called out:
"Potter, Harry"
Everyone gasped as Harry stepped forward, and he could see Dumbledore leaving to collect the certain said people.
Harry was a little surprised when the hat that was placed upon his head started to talk, but he did not show it. He listened intently as the hat talked.
'Ahh... Harry Potter you finally made it, or should I call you Harry... Oh never-mind. My you are a puzzle... many Slytherin qualities, yes you would be great there, but i think Griffindore would suit you best... yes it shall be' "GRIFFINDORE!!!"
Harry was relived that only his final resting house had been announced. Everyone was stunned in silence to see The-Boy-Who-Lived-Then-Died alive in front of them, but the Grifindore's recovered first realizing that the boy was in their house. They started cheering. From the corner of his eye he could see Albus gesturing, signaling that the said people were collected. Harry stood and exited.
