Once Dumbledore and Pomfrey arrived, Pomfrey went to check Clarisa, while Molly took Dumbledore to the library, to tell him what Clarisa told her almost half an hour ago.
Once Molly was done telling Dumbledore what Clarisa told her, Dumbledore looked grave." When Clarisa first told us about the visions, I had thought it was the day Crouch told us Harry murdered Cedric, since everyone was in a state, that they started blaming Harry on everything, and unfortunately this will include me." Dumbledore sadly sighed, as he remembered what his feelings were that sad day." I know, I unfortunately was ready to officially disown Harry, and would've removed everything that shown Harry had been at the Burrow." Molly angrily said, while wishing she could kick herself for thinking of that." Unfortunately we were not the only ones, many of the professors, friends, and students was not too happy with Harry, and would've done something they would've regretted the next day." Dumbledore stopped himself since remembering the day after Harry was sent to Azkaban, was almost harder then the day he found Harry's body.
Flashback; the day after the third task
Classes were cancelled, so everyone could mourn the wrongful death of Cedric Diggory, and during this time, Dumbledore was both examining an eleven inch wand, and questioning everything that happened the day before." Why did you kill Cedric, Harry?" Dumbledore thought, as he laid the wand on his desk, since he couldn't make himself to break the wand." Something is not right, Harry should never have any reasons to kill Cedric, but why would Moody say he did so?" Dumbledore asked himself, as a knock sounded on the door to his office." Come in Minerva!" Dumbledore called out, and Mcgonagal came in." Professor, I was wondering if there are any reasons for Professor Moody to lie to us?" Mcgonagal asked, as she sat before Dumbledore." You are having second thoughts about yesterday like I am?" Dumbledore asked, as Mcgonagal nodded." It seems that everyone is, except for certain professors, and a small number of students." Mcgonagal informed a now worried professor." I will have another word with Professor Moody, to ask him for detailed account on that day, but unfortunately I can't until tomorrow evening." Dumbledore informed a relieved professor." Do you think Harry is innocent?" Mcgonagal hopefully asked." I wish I knew, but I hope Harry is, since there is no reason for him to kill Cedric." Dumbledore firmly said, as he placed the wand on his desk, in a secrete drawer, hoping he will be able to return it to its rightful owner.
End flashback
After sometime, Dumbledore and Molly were interrupted by a knock, and Pomfrey joined them sitting by the fireplace." I did all I can, Clarisa broken arm is healed, but I request that she will stay in bed for the next few days for a full recovery." Pomfrey warned the other two." I will make sure that she does not leave the room until then!" Molly firmly said and Pomfrey nodded in acceptance for the help." Will Clarisa be alright for a much needed talk?" Dumbledore hopefully asked." I'm afraid you can't see her until tomorrow, since I had placed her in potion induce sleep." Pomfrey informed the Headmaster." That's alright this can wait till then." Dumbledore sighed at the wait, but decided to change the subject." Madam Pomfrey, what can you tell me about the Heir Transfer spell?" Dumbledore asked, causing Pomfrey to look unsure as to why the change in subject, but quickly went into what Dumbledore always had known, and when she stopped, she looked to Dumbledore." Why are you interested in that spell?" Pomfrey asked, as Dumbledore looked worried at the Healer reactions of his answer." Because we both know a certain someone who undergone that spell, and that person is the one you were attending." Dumbledore informed a wide-eye Healer." Clarisa is under the spell, when did this happen?" Pomfrey demanded." It happened at the end of last year, and I believe you knew the teen that she used to be." Dumbledore hinted, causing Pomfrey to sway." You don't mean, Harry…" Pomfrey started, but covered her month, since she couldn't believe it." Yes Madam Pomfrey, Clarisa Whitewater, was formally named Harry James Potter." Dumbledore informed a now very shock Healer." And we need to keep this to ourselves, since Clarisa doesn't want everyone to know who she was, accept for a few trusted ones." Molly intervened, and Pomfrey nodded." I will not reveal this to anyone, but I should go back to check on Clarisa to do a full medical scan, since gender changes sometimes causes some problems, and I should be able to correct them if Clarisa has any of the usual ones." Pomfrey explained, and left the room.
Once Pomfrey was gone, Dumbledore turned to Molly." I will be going back to Hogwarts, and tomorrow morning I'm bringing back Hermione and Ron, since I think it is time for them to learn the truth about Clarisa." Dumbledore informed a not so sure parent." I don't think Ron will be a good idea, since he fully believed that Clarisa is a Dark Witch, and probably won't come here if he knew why." Molly warned Dumbledore, and he nodded at the suggestion." I guess I will only bring Hermione, and another thing, is Gabrielle Granger still here?" Dumbledore asked, and Molly nodded." Yes, since we are not sure what to do with her?" Molly informed the Headmaster." Then give her a guest room, and we'll wait till Clarisa wakes up before we do anything." Dumbledore suggested, and Molly nodded before leaving the room.
Hogwarts
In the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore appeared using one of Clarisa's Portkeys, and then sat behind his desk." Dobby, I need you for an errand!" Dumbledore called out, and an unhappy House Elf appeared." Master Dumbledore needs Dobby?" Dobby sadly asked." Yes Dobby, I need you to ask Professor Mcgonagal to bring Miss. Hermione Granger, and Mr. Ronald Weasley to my office immediately." Dumbledore kindly asked, and Dobby nodded, before disappearing." I know Ron might not care, but I think he should at least be asked." Dumbledore thought, as he sat back and waited for the teens.
Less then fifteen minutes later, Ron and Hermione were sitting in front of Dumbledore, looking apprehensive about being in the Headmaster's office." I called you both here, because something happen to Clarisa while she was in her Muggle school." Dumbledore informed the two teens, one was now looking worried, while the other didn't seem interested." I don't see why we should care, since she IS a Dark Witch, and plus all wizarding horror stories says Shadow Mages are always are!" Ron rudely said, as Hermione looked not so nicely at Ron." RON WEASLEY, those stories are nothing but fairytale stories to give young wizarding children a good scare!" Hermione scolded, and Ron looked unkindly back." It doesn't matter, since I don't trust her, and I just hope you will learn how dark she is for yourself, before something bad happens to you!" Ron angrily said, and stormed out of the office, before Dumbledore or Hermione could call him back.
Once Ron was gone, Dumbledore let out a sigh." I guess, I can continue?" Dumbledore asked Hermione, and she nodded." I will try to talk some sense into Ron later, but what had happen to Clarisa?" Hermione worriedly asked, and Dumbledore went into what he knew about the attack, but leaving out about what Clarisa had said when she appeared back at the Mansion.
Once Dumbledore was done with his story, he looked too Hermione." If you want too, I can excuse you from your classes tomorrow, to both see Gabrielle and Clarisa, since both will need someone to be there for them." Dumbledore suggested, and Hermione didn't give it a second thought." When should I get ready to go?" Hermione asked, not caring of the consequence of missing her classes." Be here half an hour before breakfast, and we'll eat at Shadow Mansion, so you could have a word with Gabrielle before seeing Clarisa." Dumbledore suggested, and Hermione quickly agreed, and with a quick goodbye, Hermione left the office thinking that Dumbledore was not telling her everything, but hope she will learn them tomorrow.
Shadow Mansion next morning
With the help of Clarisa's phoenix Talons, Hermione and Dumbledore arrived at Shadow Mansion, and in no time were reunited with Gabrielle." Gabi, are you alright." Hermione worriedly asked, as she hugged her cousin." The Death Eaters only attack the main building, and Clarisa and I was in the second building so we weren't harm." Gabrielle assured Hermione." I'm glad you are fine, but what happen to Clarisa?" Hermione press on." I don't know, Clarisa sent me here to warn the Order before going after the Death Eaters, but I heard a Healer was looking after her a couple hours after my arrival." Gabrielle said, to a now worried cousin, but another voice interrupted them." Shell we eat something, before meeting up with Clarisa?" Dumbledore kindly suggested, and the two girls reluctantly agreed.
Half an hour later, Clarisa was finishing her breakfast, while being bored out of her mind, just as the door opened for two friends." CLARISA!" Both Hermione and Gabrielle yelled, and ran up to Clarisa to give her a hug." Hey guys, I wasn't expecting Hermione to be here?" Clarisa asked, as Dumbledore stepped in." I thought you would like some company, since you are stuck in bed." Dumbledore informed Clarisa, as he sat near the bed.
Once the three friends properly greeted each other, Dumbledore spoke up." Clarisa, I was wondering what happen last evening, when the Death Eaters attack." Dumbledore asked, as Clarisa's friends looked interested." Well after I sent Gabrielle here, I Shadow traveled to the locker rooms to get dress, and once there I found out that Voldemort had placed a shield that I couldn't pass, and to make things worse, I left my wand home." Clarisa said, sounding regretful." Why was your wand here, I thought you always carry it with you?" Dumbledore asked, as Clarisa look guilty." My wards on the school do not repel wizards, it repels magical wands, and so if you got one on you, you can't pass my wards." Clarisa explained, as Dumbledore shook with laughter." Nice ward to have, since if any wizard found out they would never dare to leave their wand behind." Dumbledore laugh, as Clarisa continued." Well thanks to Voldemort's wards, I had to walk to the second building, and took out a number of Death Eater, to head to my last line of defense for the school." Clarisa said, as Hermione looked to her." It was another Rune isn't it?" Hermione asked, and Clarisa nodded." The Rune was created to do a number of things, one was to create its own power source using the school electricity to do the following, the first is to break any existing ward, and then send everyone with darkest intentions to Siberia." Clarisa said with a grin." And the other was a time reversal Rune, which would not only reverse time to several hours in both buildings; it will also erase everyone's memories of both the Death Eaters attack, and my attending the school." Clarisa sadly said, while everyone seemed impressed of what Clarisa had accomplished." You forgot about making the entire school unplottable to wizards right?" Dumbledore asked, and Clarisa nodded." Not only wizards, I too can never set foot on the school grounds, even if I wanted too." Clarisa said, as Gabrielle spoke up." What about me, are you going to erase my memories." Gabrielle worriedly asked." No you are my best friend outside the wizarding world; I don't ever want to lose your friendship." Clarisa assured a very relieved Gabrielle.
Once Clarisa explained everything to everyone, Dumbledore looked to her." Clarisa, I think it is time you told the truth about your past to Hermione, since she can help you more." Dumbledore suggested, but Clarisa looked unsure." What are you talking about professor?" Hermione asked, as she looked to Dumbledore." Professor Dumbledore, I'm not ready, I would like more time to think this over." Clarisa hopefully asked." Clarisa, what Voldemort sent to you was nothing but lies, since by the second day of Harry's wrongful imprisonment, almost everyone was second guessing Crouch, and was wondering why Harry would kill Cedric." Dumbledore started, as he took Clarisa's hands." If you need proof, did your visions show me breaking your wand?" Dumbledore asked, and Clarisa nodded a yes." Then this should be proof enough, since I couldn't do it in the end." Dumbledore informed Clarisa, as he took out a very familiar eleven inch wand from his robes." My old wand, I never thought I would see it again?" Clarisa quickly said, as she took the wand from Dumbledore." That's Harry's wand, what's going on here!" Hermione quickly asked." Hermione, Clarisa Whitewater had another name, and it was Harry Potter." Dumbledore said, as Hermione eyes went wide and fainted." This went well?" Clarisa said, as she waved her hand, and Hermione awoke.
After a few minutes, Hermione again spoke." I should've known, since a couple times Clarisa had said a few things, I know Harry wouldn't have said to another?" Hermione said, while still shocked at learning who Clarisa use to be." It was unintentionally, since I kept forgetting what not to say to people I knew as Harry." Clarisa explained, but at that moment remember something." Oh no, I almost forgot about him!" Clarisa called out, making everyone stare at her." Accio Toy mouse!" Clarisa called out, and a toy mouse flew to her hand." Clarisa, why do you have that?" Hermione asked, as she eyed the mouse." I want you all to meet Wormtail, AKA Peter Pettigrew!" Clarisa informed a startled group." Is Wormtail still alive?" Dumbledore asked, as Clarisa nodded." Peter is alive, but should be a bit stiff for being a toy mouse for this long." Clarisa said, as she threw the toy mouse to the center of her room, and before hitting the floor, a dark cloud surrounded it, and in a second a bound and gag man fell hard to the floor." He shouldn't have heard our little meeting, so Professor Dumbledore can you get Sirius Black free from his charges against him?" Clarisa hopefully asked, and Dumbledore stepped up to a very worried rat." I will bring him to the Ministry now, and sorry Clarisa I think you better stay here, since I might not survive Madam Pomfrey wrath for letting you come with me." Dumbledore quickly explained, since he knew Clarisa would want to come, and see Wormtail taken away." Fine then, I guess I still need to rest for another day or so, just let Hermione and Gabi stay here a while longer!" Clarisa grumpily said, as Dumbledore accepted what Clarisa said, and levitated Wormtail out of the room.
An hour later, while Clarisa and her two friends were having some girl talk, the door opened for a very happy Sirius Black, whom quickly ran to Clarisa, and gave her a huge bear hug." Thank you, thank you Clarisa, you save my life." Sirius quickly said, as he continued hugging a now very red face Clarisa.
After a minute, Hermione looked worried." Ah Sirius, Clarisa might not survive your hug if you don't let her go?" Hermione grinningly warned, and Sirius quickly let Clarisa go." I'm sorry, are you alright?" Sirius asked, and after getting her breath back, Clarisa nodded." I'm fine, I'm glad you are now free to do what you wish." Clarisa smiled, and Sirius grinned." Not only I'm free, I can finally get custody of you, since I am your Godfather after all." Sirius grinned, but Clarisa looked worried." Ah Sirius, I'm afraid that once I became a Whitewater Heir, all my rights when I was a Potter, from heritance to Guardianship was lost, so it means you are no longer my Godfather." Clarisa worriedly warned, and Sirius looked like he was shot." No, after all I went through; I still don't get to help look after you!" Sirius angrily said, and ran out of the room." Sirius wait!" Clarisa called out, but was too late, since Sirius was long gone.
The second Sirius left, Clarisa looked to Hermione." Hermione try to get to him, and tell him that there is a chance of him being my Godfather again, if he asked Mrs. Weasley for permission, since she is my Guardian now, she can make it so." Clarisa quickly said, and Hermione nodded, and left the room in search of Sirius.
In the main living room, Remus was comforting a very sadden Sirius, when Hermione entered." Moony, I lost my chance to keep my promise to James and Lilly again, why did this have to happen?" Sirius wailed, as Hermione walked up to the two men." Sirius, please there is something you need to know!" Hermione firmly said, as Sirius looked up." What else is there, I no longer can go near Clarisa, since she is now a Whitewater!" Sirius unkindly asked." No, you can be her Godfather again, if you asked Mrs. Weasley for her permission." Hermione explained, and Sirius looked hopeful." Does this mean, Clarisa want to be my Goddaughter?" Sirius hopefully asked." Yes, Clarisa does, so hurry up and asked Mrs. Weasley, so you can get partial Guardianship of Clarisa." Hermione happily said, and a very relieve Sirius jumped up, looking very happy." Yes, I do that now and hopefully in a day or two, I will be her Godfather!" Sirius happily said, and ran off to find Molly.
By nightfall, Hermione left to go back to Hogwarts, and Gabrielle had left to go to her home, leaving Clarisa bored as she lay on her bed, when a smiling Sirius entered holding several papers." Guess what, I'm now your Godfather again, so I have every right to spoil you rotten!" Sirius joked, as Clarisa rolled her eyes." You didn't need to be my Godfather for that." Clarisa reminded Sirius, as he stepped up to her bed." Hmm, you are right about that, then I guess I can help decide your punishments, when you get into trouble?" Sirius suggested with a smile." And what sort of punishment you will place on me?" Clarisa worriedly asked." Since I don't believe in physical punishment, then I will do this." Sirius started, but stopped, as he bent over and started tickling Clarisa relentlessly." Sirius please stop that." Clarisa yelled, as she started laughing uncontrollable, and luckily for her, Sirius did after a minute of tickling." That is just a taste of what to come, so be a good girl alright." Sirius grinningly said, as Clarisa glare." Fine, I guess I'll try not to get caught." Clarisa informed her renewed Godfather, but before he could say anything, Dumbledore stepped in.
No one said anything until Dumbledore sat on a chair, and looked to Clarisa." I talked to Madam Pomfrey, and she will let you go if you decide to come to Hogwarts tomorrow as a late student." Dumbledore suggested, causing Clarisa to frown." But the O.W.Ls is not for a couple weeks?" Clarisa asked looking puzzled of her early arrival to Hogwarts." It is, but I think you should attend classes now to get resettled back into Hogwarts." Dumbledore suggested, and Clarisa nodded in defeat." I guess I'll do it, since I got nothing to do now." Clarisa said, since she really didn't want to spend all her time in her library to study her Shadow magic." Then it is settle, I will provide your books, while Sirius can go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get the other things you'll need, and you can come by for breakfast to get resorted, and hopefully back your normal wizarding routine." Dumbledore suggested, and Clarisa nodded, while accepting that she will have no choice to but to go back to the wizarding world." Good, now that settled, we better leave so Clarisa can get her beauty sleep, since tomorrow she will need it to get resettled into Hogwarts." Dumbledore joked, and with a quick farewell, both wizards left the room as Clarisa got comfortable in bed.
