Chapter eleven: Questions
He is awake Ron just said
------------------------------
Poppy immediately took the chance and hurried towards Harry's bed so she could examine him. She came back a few minuets later and said,
"He is perfectly fine. Physically anyway" She muttered to her self " He is just a little confused that's all"
"Fantastic, then he can leave with me now right?" Dumbeldore asked hopeful
"Leave? Are you out of your mind? The boy just jumped of the Astronomy Tower. He needs help and he isn't leaving until I'm sure he has gotten it, so you better excuse him from all classes" Poppy said with a hint of anger in her voice
"But Poppy, he needs to be questioned"
"Then you either do it here under my supervision or you don't do it at all" She snapped, but then turned to Hermione and said in a more kinder tone of voice, "You better go and explain things to him dear. And...good luck, gods knows that you need it"
"Hermione gulped and looked with pleading eyes on her friends but they just stood there and Ron said,
"You brought it on your self by doing that deal Mione. Bring a fog," Ron said grinning
Beside the situation Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "It's brake a leg, Ron honestly, bring a fog? But thanks anyway" Then she nervously stepped up to Harry's bed.
"Hey," He said in a horse voice
"Hey," Mione said smiling kindly
"So how bout we get the lecture thing over as soon as possible so I can go and kill Draco" Harry said smiling weakly"
"Believe it or not, but I'm not here to lecture you Harry. Although someone should" And before she could stop her self she continued" I mean how could you do that Harry? I know it's hard, but you know that killing yourself isn't the right solution. You should have talked to us. You know we are here for you Harry. And under no circumstances are you allowed near Draco unless it is to thank him" She scolded him
"Yeah I know, Herm. But it's just so hard you know and I'm not going to do anything to Draco. But I thought you said you weren't here to lecture me, so what are you here for? Harry said lightly, but he didn't fool Hermione but she decided to leave it for know she had other things to do.
"What, a girl can't visit her friend?" She asked nervous but Harry wasn't fooled and he only raised an eyebrow at her.
"Fine, there is no need to get cocky about it" She said
"So what is it?" Harry asked getting rather curios at how Mione kept getting more nervous by the minute
"Hehe, you see I kinda did something after you left the office before" Mione said shaking with nervousness
"What did you do? It can't be that bad Mione"
"Ok, promise that you won't yell and that you will let me explain this threw. Ok?"
"Ok" Harry said getting rather nervous at the way his friend was acting "I promise"
"IkindapromisedDmubeldorethatyouwouldanswersomeofhisquestions" Hermione said really fast
"Ok, now please say that again, but a bit slower this time" Harry said
"Ok, here goes nothing" Mione said to her self, and then took a deep breath and said as calm as she could, "I promised Dumbeldore that you would answer some of his questions" She said intimately and quietly but Harry heard her nonetheless.
"YOU DID WHAT? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Were you even thinking?" Harry yelled at her
"I-I, you promised not to yell and let me explain myself, "Hermione said close to tears
"I don't see the use, but fine then go ahead and try to explain yourself" Harry spat" But I can tell you right now that I am not answering a thing"
"Just hear her out," Ron said stepping up to them
Harry just glared, and Hermione started to explain.
"You see after you left we were really scared because we knew that you would do anything to get away, and we also knew that you couldn't go anywhere so we were afraid that you would do something bad. Something that was beyond repair. But I didn't even begin to imagine that you would go this far. But anyway, we needed to find you before it was too late. But we were only three and the castle is enormous and we knew that we could never search it all by our selves before it would be to late. And Dumbeldore" She spat" Didn't want to help us. So I panicked and I said that if he would help us I would talk to you and make you answer some of his questions. If you refuse I will have to do it Harry. And it is really not mine to do"
"How could you promise something like that Mione? You know how I feel about this. Hell you know what Angel feels about this. Why would you do something so stupid? Haven't you learnt that you can't make promises that you can't keep with out really bad consciences?" Harry said quietly
"It may not have been in my place to make that promise Harry" Mione said" But I would do it again in a heart bead because if I hadn't done it you would be dead right now. I know this affects you the most, but it still affects us too. We are apart of your life and the life we are trying so hard to hide. And we too cared about snuffels and our old headmaster and everything. We still do, although I am having doubts about the headmaster. We also care about you, and when you are hurt, we are too. You are a part of us Harry, and I would give anything to make sure that you were ok. And I am sure that Angel understands that. A part of you always knew that the time would come where you would have to tell Dumbeldore the truth. It is just happening sooner than later. And I also know that you have some differences since the end of the last year with our old headmaster. You don't need to tell him the truth just answer some of his questions. Please Harry" Hermione said pleadingly to Harry
Harry looked at her with a look in his eyes that she couldn't figure out.
"You don't understand what it is like to prudent to have to like him all the time, after what he did. You don't know what he told me that night," Harry finally said quietly
"No I don't Harry, and I am not going to prudent to understand it because I can't possible understand it unless I would know. But you have to understand that they are not the same person. This professor didn't say or do all the things the other one did."
There was silence. More silence. Still silence.
And finally after about ten minutes of absolute silence Harry spoke up.
"You are right Hermione, but it is still hard, but I'll try my hardest." Then he said a little higher so the headmaster who was standing a little away could here, "Mr. Dumbeldor I will allow you to ask a few questions, but I can not guaranty that I'll answer them all."
Dumbeldore came all the way to the bed with the rest of the teachers and conjured some chairs and then said with a small smile and the usual twinkle in his eyes.
"Alright Mr. Jameson. That will be enough for now. I want to say that I'm sorry for my actions before in my office. I should have handled it a bit.... Better. I just hope that you understand that this is something I need to do"
Harry just nodded curtly and told him to continue.
"Alright, a few you say?"
Again Harry nodded
"Why did you not inform us of your ability to speak to snakes when you arrived, since you insist that it is not a bad thing?" Was the first question.
Harry seemed to think about what to answer but finally he said,
"Are you sure you don't want to but some truth spells on me or something so that you are sure that I am telling the truth?"
"You are a smart boy Jameson. I already have but up a few." Dumbeldore answered
"Alright. Well I suppose that I didn't tell you because it didn't concern you that much and it would have ended with some uncomfortable questions being asked. Questions I was and still am not ready to answer. And beside, people attend to judge to fast" Harry said in a blank tone
Dumbeldore just nodded and hmmmed with himself, before asking the next question
"Why did you lie about your heritance then? I mean you have to be a pureblooded wizard to be able to speak parseltoung."
"Who says I lied? I really was raised in the muggle world. I never said anything about being a muggle" Harry said smiling slightly
"Alright, do you know who the snake you talked to is?"
"Her name is Nagini and she belongs to Tom Riddle or like he prefers to call himself, Voldemort" Harry said flatly
Dumbeldore looked rather taking back by that but asked the next question nonetheless
"What did she say?"
"That is none of your business but I suppose it couldn't harm to tell you. She said that her master would be happy with her for finding a worthy servant and that she could sense that I was a light wizard because snakes could read auras and she said that since she was the queen of the snakes she could sense that I was a speaker. She also said that I was the first ever, good speaker and that she would be informing Voldemort of me. She also provoked me to speak to her, and then she said something about me not knowing snake magic and not being able to control my gift"
"Really you can't? How is that possible, it isn't supposed to take more than year if you try." Dumbeldore said surprised
"Well I didn't find out until in my second year when there was a duelling club and a snake tried to attack a student and I told it to stop."
"That is strange. Why didn't you find out until so late?"
"Well, no one knew that I was one and I actually only found out by accent along with the whole school. I didn't even know why everyone thought it was so bad until Ron and Mione explained it to me"
"What did they say to you? And how did Miss Granger know more about it then you since she is the muggle one?
"She reads a lot and had read about it in a book and it just never came up at my home. They just explained what everyone thought of me given by what was happening at school," Harry said
"And what was happening?"
"Er, don't you have more questions to ask that has some point?" Harry managed to chance the subject
"Ahh yes I do, I'm sorry I just fell of the track a bit" A blushing headmaster answered
"So where do you come form then?"
"I am afraid that I can not answer that. Not now anyway"
"But Poppy knows" Dumbeldore whined like a child
"I trust Poppy, not you"
Dumbeldore looked rather taken back but continued anyway,
"Alright, Who kidnapped you?"
"I can't answer that either. Not even Poppy knows that" Harry said in the same flat voice
"What was James talking about before?" the headmaster asked curios
"He was just pissed about us not wanting to tell him about Nagini and then he just cracked. Started to yell about all the things that he had been holding inside for the last month. He didn't know what he was talking about. He shouldn't have said those things," Harry said in the first time showing an emotion.
"Yes, well teenagers, which brings me to, what is the deal between you and Mr. Milroy?"
"What do you mean?" Ron asked.
"Well, you all arrived together, but you keep avoiding each other. Why?"
"Well, in our old school, we were in different houses and well we didn't get along. Actually that is an understatement. Ever since I turned down his friendship he hated me, and I hated him. He did about anything in his power to make my life as miserable as possible. But when we arrived here we made a truce" Harry just said
"Why did you turn him out?"
"Because of the rumours and the attitude" Harry said smiling slightly at the memory
"What rumours?"
"Well they said that his family all used to be on Voldemorts side, and that his father was evil. He also insulted my friends and had this strange aura around him I just didn't like."
"So why make a truce if he is evil and you are not?"
"Because he is not evil. He doesn't wasn't to become his father" Harry said looking at Draco carefully.
"I see. But tell me Harry, why so mysterious, why the secrets? What is keeping you from telling the truth?"
"Well it is rather hard to explain. It is just better for everyone, because if they found out they would want to find out more and that could chance everything. And besides I made a promise. And I never brake promises" Harry said softly
"Al right, I will admit that I didn't understand a thing you said, but I do understand that you promised someone that you wouldn't say something. But what about the chair? Why are you in a wheelchair?"
Harry looked down for the first time but after a small time he looked up again and said in a sad voice,
"I had a accident with my family that I would rather not talk about"
Dumbeldore didn't quite understand but he did get that this was privet madder
"Then I don't suppose you want to tell me why you jumped?"
Harry looked startled at the question but answered nonetheless
"I just couldn't take it anymore. My life it has never brought anything good to anyone and it did not just make me unhappy but also everyone around me and they deserve better. Besides, it is not like someone would miss me" Harry said the last part so softly that no one heard it but Dumbledore but he decided not to press the madder
"You said something before you jumped. You said something about killing someone. Who have you killed?" Dumbeldore asked carefully
Hermione looked outrageous, "Harry how can you even say that. It wasn't your fault that they died. None was your fault"
"Yes it was" Harry yelled back "It was all my fault and you know it"
"Harry listen to me. Did you take your wand and point it at any of them and say the words?" Mione asked softly
There was silence and then
"No. But...
"No buts Harry, you didn't kill them. In the end the little things don't madder. If you want to blame your self because you thought you were doing the right thing that you might just as well blame your parents for having you." Mione said but Harry didn't look convinced so she continued" Fine look at it this way. Do you blame Ginny about what happened in our second year?"
Harry looked horrified
"No, of course not. She couldn't have know th...
"Exactly Harry, she couldn't have known and neither could you have"
Harry didn't have anything else to say so Dumbeldore decided to continue
"Do you work for the Voldemort or another evil forces?"
"No" was all Harry said
"Alright, I just have one more question before I leave you to your sleep,
What is your real name?"
Harry looked at Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Draco and Poppy. The all wanted him to say the same thing. All of the sudden Harry felt tired. Not sleepy tired but tired of this game. He had told so himself that he didn't like lying so why was he doing it? Because he was still pissed at the headmaster from his own time, he thought to himself. But Hermione is right. He doesn't know what he has done. So after a while Harry finally opened his mouth.
"My name Is Harry. Harry James Potter"
There was utter silence, but it didn't last for long, because Harry burst out laughing, soon followed by his friends and Poppy. They just couldn't help them selves. None of them had ever seen their headmaster like that before. There was utter shock placed on his face. But at the noise he seemed to recover
"I'm sorry I must have misheard, what did you say your name was?" The headmaster whispered in silence
"I am almost sure you heard me right headmaster, I said that my name was Harry Potter."
This time though the headmaster didn't seemed so shocked. He looked rather horrified.
"In the name of Merlin" the headmaster whispered, but then he asked, "How does a Potter know the Weasley's?"
"I'm sorry? What do you mean?" Harry asked confused
"Well you said before, when we were at the tower that you wanted us to bring a message to the Weasleys"
"Oh yeah, but why couldn't a Potter know a Weasley? The Weasleys are a well known pure blooded family," Harry said
"Are you sure you are a Potter?" Dumbeldore asked.
"Well yeah, I'm pretty sure. But what did you mean"
"Well, the Potters are a better respected, I mean. The Potters are a bit like the Malfoys, they are raised in a specific way. And they are no allowed to associate with those below them. Well not so much below them anyway" Dumbeldore said carefully
"What do you mean by that? What's wrong with the Weasleys they are well known and they are light"
"Well, I know that." Dumbeldore said looking uncomfortable "It's just that they are not known to have much between their hands. You should know this Harry; you should not associate with those alike. Keep to the company you have, although it is a bit unusual. The Potters are not allowed to have friends that are muggels or unknown wizards."
"Well I think that that is stupid. And besides my friends are not unknown. You just don't know them." Harry said very angry "And what about James. The Blacks don't exactly have a clean records, and Lupin? And Pettigrew? You couldn't become more stupid then him."
"I know that he has chosen a rather unnormal friends for his status. But Sirius is not evil like his family he is disowned. And well Lupin is a rather respectable name. I suppose if it weren't for...er yeah, I think that James is doing a good thing by making friends with him. Peter is... one of a kind, but I think James just felt a little sorry for him. His parents were not pleased at first, but they love their son more than the name and trust him to make his own decisions. Although they have given him a number amount of speeches I have heard," Dumbeldore said his beard twitching a little" And well even if the choose is a bit... weird, it was James's to take and well no others. And I and his parents support him"
"Ok, but why can he have friends of his own choose but not me" Harry said.
"Well I was a bit rotten apple to tell the truth. I choose my own ways, and for it I was disowned. That is why I took my mothers name up gain. She still loved me even if I didn't like the ways I was supposed to be. And well I didn't exactly raise my son to be the model Potter, and I suppose James got it from us. But I dare to say that none of us went as far as James. He is lucky not to be disowned"
Harry's mouth was hanging open, as were the others.
"You mean to tell me that you are a Potter?" Harry finally said.
"Well of course I am. It is not widely known, but every Potter knows. Don't you have a copy of the family tree?"
Harry just shook his head and then asked,
"How exactly are you related to James?"
"Well I am his grandfather of course"
"WHAT?" Harry yelled before he could stop him self.
"Harry, he doesn't know, so cool it," Mione said kindly still in shock
"Yeah you're right, I'm sorry sir. I just don't understand, that's all" Harry said weakly
"Well neither do I Harry. You see every Potter receives a family tree at the age of ten. And well, you are not on it. In fact the only living Potters are supposed to be, James, Harold my son and me. And I am sure you are not from some other side of the family, since the Potters have always been only children, except in three cases, but then either the other child died or didn't have children. Witch means that you must be, my, Harold's or James son, but that doesn't make much sense, now does it?" Dumbelodre mused
Harry gulped; he hadn't known that he would have to say the whole truth. But by the looks of it he might just have to.
"Harry?" Poppy said carefully
"Yeah?"
"I think that you should tell him the rest." She said but before Harry could say something Dumbeldore did
"So you knew that he was a Potter?"
"Yes I did, but I didn't know you were one. But I suppose it explains a bit why you are so powerful. Related to both the Potters and the Dumbeldores. But Harry he needs to be told. You don't have to tell him about, you know everything, just where you are from."
"But if I did that Poppy, he would ask questions. And I don't want to answer them" Harry cried.
"Well what if I promise that I won't ask any questions? Will you then tell me?"
Harry looked sceptical but nodded anyway.
"Ok here it goes" He said to him self" Ok headmaster, what I am about to tell you is not a joke and you are not hearing things. Ok?"
"Ok"
"Good, but before I tell you don't you want to know who my friends really are?" Harry said trying to stall
Dumbeldore just smiled knowingly and told him to go right ahead
"Ok, well this is Hermione Granger, a muggle born witch, those two over there are Ron and Ginny Weasley, pureblood wizards, and that is none other that Draco Malfoy"
Dumbeldore was gaping. Yep, really gaping.
"Uhh, well, I-I, it's nice to meet you?" Dumbeldore said weakly and if Harry hadn't known what he was about to do he would have laughed his head of.
"Mpfh," Was all Ginny said.
"Look, I'm sorry about what I said, I have nothing personal against your family. In fact Arthur was one of my favourites students when he went here. But it is my duty as a Potter, even if I am disowned that I inform every Potter of how the Potter laws work" The headmaster said looking very much so sorry.
Ginny and Ron both just nodded.
"Well, Harry I just have to say that you have out done James even, but continue please" Dumbeldore said laughing
"Well here is the thing, I am aware that I can't just tell you this and not tell you anything about my life, since you can't ask about it. It is a bit unfair, so you will have to let me explain.
"Ok" The headmaster, said getting rather curios
"Ok well like I said my name is Harry Potter, and I am the son of James Potter and I was born the year 1989 (I have no idea when he was born so I just made that up)
There was silence, and the teen's looked with amusement at the headmaster chance expressions. First there was shock, then there was confusion then there was disbelief, then there was anger, then there was a happy face and then a shock again. Finally he spoke,
"So do I have a great-grandchild, fantastic"
"Yes to congratulation with that Albus, but Harry didn't you say that you were kidnapped, and how on earth is it possible to travel through time?" Mcgonagall said with disbelief
Harry looked rather surprised to see her there, he hadn't noticed her before.
"Well we were kidnapped. It is rather hard to explain you see but I'll try my...
"But you were raised in muggle London?" Dumbeldore intervened
"Ok, let me explain here please. When I was an infant I lived at Codric's Hollow then I moved to London and I lived there until I got my Hogwarts letter, then I started to go to Hogwarts. I met Ron there on the train and we instantly got along and became best friends. I also met Mione on the train but well; we didn't get along that well. Frankly Ron hated her and I decided to play along because I was just so happy that Ron wanted t be my friend. We all got sorted to Gryffindor. We continued to hate Mione. I actually started to really dislike her at a time because she wouldn't stop talking about my life and it freaked me out that my classmate knew more about me then me. But anyway that year on Halloween something happened and we became best friends. We soon got the name the golden Gryffindor trio. But anyway, I continued to go to Hogwarts and only went home for the summers, the first Christmas I went from Hogwarts was last year, and then we went to snuffels place. But anyway, last summer something happened and I had to go back to Hogwarts sooner, because I was hurt. So I spent the next two weeks I the hospital wing. And the day before my birthday this woman comes to visit us. I really don't know what happened because I was unconscious at the time but when I woke up I was here and the lady told me that she had brought us to the past. She isn't evil; she only did it to help me, to help us. As soon as she had finished explaining things to us we went to find you, and well you know the rest headmaster."
"I see, but why did you live in muggle London?" Dumbeldore asked
"It was actually your decision sir" Harry said
"Ok, but why did Miss Granger know more about you than you?"
"Well, like you have probably noticed, she likes to read and she had read about the Potters in some books. And well, my family didn't talk much about that sort of stuff since we lived with the muggels"
"I see you said something before about last Christmas. Something about you having a vision of their dad. Is that why you left school that time?"
"Yes, Mr. Weasley was working for the order and I had a vision of Nagini attacking him. I told you and you told us to go to snuffels place until Mr. Weasley would recover." Harry said trying his hardest not to revile too much
Dumbeldore sighed tiredly
"What is wrong Albus?" Poppy asked concerned
"There can only be one rezone that someone could still be working for the Order. It has not finished" The old man said lacking the happiness in his face that was almost always there and for a moment Harry felt really bad for not being able to tell him about the future
"Well, Albus, I wouldn't give up so easily if I were you" Poppy said and she winked at Harry who blushed like a mad man
"What do you mean? What does she mean Harry? Is there something more you know?" Dumbeldore asked hopeful
"Look headmaster, I can not tell you about the future. You know what might happen. It could chance and I am not ready to take the consciences for it. I'm sorry. But don't be to quick to judge sir"
The headmaster smiled weakly but then something hit him,
"You are a seer?"
Harry really looked uncomfortable," Not really. I don't think so anyway. I have my visions because I have my scar."
"Huhh?" The man said confused
"It is almost morning headmaster, and I am really tired. I trust that you will be keeping an eye on me. Good night sir"
"Alas you are right my boy it is getting late, or should I say early. And I will be keeping an eye out for you Harry and we will talk again soon. Good night my boy and pleasant dreams"
And with that said the headmaster, Mcgonagall, and the other teens walked away."
--------------------------
DUMBELDORE'S POV!!!
It just can't be, he thought for about what had to be the millionths time that evening. But yet he believed him.
The old man had just entered his office after leavening Harry in the Hospital wing, and he was now sitting behind his desk thinking about what had just happened.
Finally he sighed, it was only three hours until breakfast had to be served, and he needed to organize the staff meeting that was supposed to be held tomorrow evening. So Dumbeldore started to organize, but he couldn't concentrate properly. His actions may have been on the paperwork but his mind was with Harry.
How could he have traveled through time and space? It was the impossible.
"Nothing is the impossible with magic" Dumbeldore said out loud. These used to be the words his mother had told him every night before he was disowned.
But still too travel through time. It was not only the undoable but also the most dangerous thing you could do.
But then again, Dumbeldore thought, maybe Harry knew exactly how it was done but just didn't want to tell him.
Dumbeldore frowned. Hi did keep awful lot of secrets. It was not healthy.
But there were also so many weird things that didn't add up. James wanted nothing more than to join the order and fight for good in the war. Then why would he move to London? Why had he asked him to move to London?
There were so many questions that Dumbeldore needed answer to.
How could Harry be a parselmouth, if he was a Potter? Only powerful dark wizards were parselmouths. And why had he been so surprised when he had told Harry that he was his grate grandfather. He must have known. And why on earth didn't he have a family tree? It just didn't make sense.
Finally Dumbeldore gave up on the paperwork and collected his pensive.
He concentrated on all the thoughts that he had of Harry and placed them in his pensive to observe.
He noticed many things that he didn't understand or that didn't make sense and he made sure to write every bit down. All of the sudden there was a knock on the door,
Enter, the man said and in came Professor Mcgonagall
"Albus, what are you doing up here? Breakfast started 15 minuets ago, the students that are there are getting restless because both you and Mr. Jameson are missing and well, James and his friends have been saying not so pleasant things about him and what happened yesterday"
"Wait a minute" Dumbeldore said, and then he turn back to the memory he was looking at. It was from last night, of Mione trying to convince Harry to talk to him. Then the girl said an interesting thing,
"It may not have been in my place to make that promise Harry" Mione said" But I would do it again in a heart bead because if I hadn't done it you would be dead right now. I know this affects you the most, but it still affects us too. We are apart of your life and the life we are trying so hard to hide. And we too cared about snuffels and our old headmaster and everything. We still do, although I am having doubts about the headmaster. We also care about you, and when you are hurt, we are too. You are a part of us Harry, and I would give anything to make sure that you were ok. And I am sure that Angel understands that. A part of you always knew that the time would come where you would have to tell Dumbeldore the truth. It is just happening sooner than later.
Dumbeldore made the memory disappear, and then he looked up to the professor who had also been listening to the memory.
"Who on earth is Angel?" Dumbeldore asked no one in particular
"I don't know sir, but I don't think that this is the right time to think about it. You can ask Harry later, although I doubt that he will give you a straight answer. He is so mysterious that boy. It creeps me out" The teacher said.
There was a few moments silence and then
"But anyway, you should head down for breakfast now, so the students won't take James's word to serious" Mcgonagall said hurriedly
"Yes I'm coming, and on the way you can tell me the rumours about my grate grandchild" Dumbeldore said smiling as he stood up.
---------------------------------------
HARRY'S POV
He couldn't sleep. He knew that there would be breakfast soon and that he should really try and get some sleep, but he couldn't sleep.
He couldn't stop thinking about Dumbeldore being his Grate grandfather. How could he not have told him sooner?
Harry knew that Mione was right, and that this Dumbeldore wasn't to blame by everything the other Dumbeldore had said or done or rather hadn't said or done. But Harry couldn't help but to feel a little bit irradiated towards the old man. But that was nothing compared to how he was feeling towards the future Headmaster.
He had already been pissed at the man for not telling him about the prophecy but now he was beyond pissed. How could he do something like that? He knew that the thing that mattered the most to Harry was family and yet he had taken away his only one. He had lied about it to him. Made him live with those muggle losers. He had never told him about is godfather either. He had had to find that out by hiding under his cloak and hear the professors talk about it in public.
And then he dared to say that he cared about him that night. If he had cared he wouldn't have lied to him. He wouldn't have taken what mattered the most to him away. He had told him the truth.
Harry wondered what else the man was hiding from him.
Yebb they would be having a long talk when Harry returned home.
Then Harry turned to the other side and fell instantly asleep.
-----------------------------------------
BREAKFAST
The door on the Great Hall burst open and in walked a moody professor and a rather angry headmaster.
All of the students started talking in hushed whispers and it made the sleepless headmaster more irritated than before. Sometimes he thought that his grandchild would be the end of him. He just couldn't belief that James would say things like that. Dumbeldore sat down in his chair and waited for the rest of the students to come so he could say a few words. When Mione, Ron, Ginny and Draco walked in he nodded politely to them and they nodded politely back. James who had noticed this send his grandfather a confused look but Dumbeldore only sent a poisoned look back to the boy who all of the sudden felt very scared and very confused.
"What's up with the headmaster?" Sirius asked James
"Beats me. But I get the impression that he isn't very happy about me at the moment. Although I can't for the life of me figure out a rezone. I haven't done anything bad since yesterday, and then everything was fine."
"Well maybe it has something to do with Jameson?" Remus suggested and all of the marauders looked at the other end of the table and glared at Harry's friends, who just glared back.
"That can't be. Why would he be mad at me about that? He has probably fired him about now. See he isn't even here. He is probably in Askaban or something...
James stopped talking when his grandfather stood up to address the students.
Dumbedlore looked over the students as he stood up and waited for everyone to quiet down. He looked at the time traveller's tired faces and gave them a weak smile. He felt a bit sorry for them and thought about giving them classes off, to get some sleep. They were with out a doubt sleepiest students in the Hall. Suddenly a foot kicked him and he realized that the entire Hall was looking at him waiting for him to say something. He blushed a little and then begun talking,
"Ahh, yes. Good day my dear students, I hope you enjoyed breakfast. I have a few madders to address, the first is that the quiddicth captain for the Slytherin team has stepped down, so you need to hold a meeting and vote a new one, the second matter is about Harry Jameson."
The Hall broke out in whisperers, and Dumbeldore waited patiently for them to stop before he continued.
"Like the most of you most likely know by now, Mr. Jameson had an little incident in the duelling club yesterday. It turned out that he is indeed a parselmouth. Some of you have heard rumours about him being, a werewolf, a serial killer, a muggle killer, a servant of the dark lord, or number of other things that I don't even dare to say. Some of you may also have heard that Mr. Jameson tried to use a snake to kill a student last night; I am now going to tell you that none of this is true. Yes Mr. Jameson is a parselmouth but he is most defiantly not any of the things above. Like most of you have noticed, Mr. Jameson is not here with us to day. But unlike what most of you believe, he has not been expelled, arrested or brought to questioning. He is currently staying at the Hospital wing for an unknown time and is excused form classes for the time being. I ask you not to interrupt or bother him, since he is going through a rough time. I only have one more thing to say before you can go to your classes, and that is that I think that Mr. Potter and everyone else who is involved, should go and apologies to Mr. Jameson for making all those rumours. I have asked Poppy to let you in. Now off you go"
James was waiting outside the DADA classroom, waiting for the professor to come
"I can't believe he did that. How can he believe Jameson. I wonder what happened after we left?" James asked no one in particular
"Maybe you should ask them?" Peter said pointing to the four tired teens that were walking towards the classroom.
"So Milroy, I see that you are hanging out with them again?" James said pointing at the three other teens
Yeah" Draco said as he yawned, "And what business is that of yours?"
"None, I was merely holding up conversation. Why are you so tired? James asked curios
"Well unlike you, I didn't go around all school making up stupid stories, I woke up all night searching and discussing things with Harry and the headmaster"
"So what did Jameson do to make the headmaster believe him? Used some dark curse didn't he?"
"Ughhh, I can't believe you James. After everything that has happened for the last month you think nothing better of him than this? And what were you thinking saying those things to Professor Mcgonagall? She actually believed you? I don't care what Harry says, to me you are nothing more than a arrogant liar until you say you're sorry to him" Mione spat
"So you are on his side then? You're a death eater too? I have to admit that I didn't see that one coming" James said
"You stupid asshole. Harry is no more death eater than you. You saw his hand. It was empty. Or are you perhaps blind you twit?" Ginny hissed
James looked rather surprised at the how they were all acting but finally said
"Maybe the likes of him don't need a Dark Mark, isn't it enough that he is a parselmouth? You read Granger; you should know that all past parselmouths have been evil. Rotten to the bones, and Jameson is no different. I don't need a dark mark to tell me that he is a parselmouth" James spat
"Listen to your self. What is wrong with you? Since when did you come so... judgmental? Tell me James. What do you think of werewolves?" Ginny said looking straight at Lupin who gulped.
"What has that got to do with anything'" James said looking rather nervous looking between Ginny and Lupin.
"Just answer the question. What do you think about werewolves?"
"I think that they are ok. I mean it depends on the person really. I know that some of them are actually very nice guys that are being treated unfairly," James said
"But isn't that exactly what you are doing to Harry? I mean Werewolves are marked evil and almost all of the turn evil, I at least don't remember of hearing about a good one before. But I agree with you, it all depends on the person. But so does it with parselmouths, they are just rarer than werewolves, and that is why the fewer of them turn good. I would have thought that you of all people would have understood that Remus" Ginny said calmly and before anyone could react she walked in to the now open classroom and took her seat.

Chapter eleven: Questions
He is awake Ron just said
------------------------------
Poppy immediately took the chance and hurried towards Harry's bed so she could examine him. She came back a few minuets later and said,
"He is perfectly fine. Physically anyway" She muttered to her self " He is just a little confused that's all"
"Fantastic, then he can leave with me now right?" Dumbeldore asked hopeful
"Leave? Are you out of your mind? The boy just jumped of the Astronomy Tower. He needs help and he isn't leaving until I'm sure he has gotten it, so you better excuse him from all classes" Poppy said with a hint of anger in her voice
"But Poppy, he needs to be questioned"
"Then you either do it here under my supervision or you don't do it at all" She snapped, but then turned to Hermione and said in a more kinder tone of voice, "You better go and explain things to him dear. And...good luck, gods knows that you need it"
"Hermione gulped and looked with pleading eyes on her friends but they just stood there and Ron said,
"You brought it on your self by doing that deal Mione. Bring a fog," Ron said grinning
Beside the situation Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "It's brake a leg, Ron honestly, bring a fog? But thanks anyway" Then she nervously stepped up to Harry's bed.
"Hey," He said in a horse voice
"Hey," Mione said smiling kindly
"So how bout we get the lecture thing over as soon as possible so I can go and kill Draco" Harry said smiling weakly"
"Believe it or not, but I'm not here to lecture you Harry. Although someone should" And before she could stop her self she continued" I mean how could you do that Harry? I know it's hard, but you know that killing yourself isn't the right solution. You should have talked to us. You know we are here for you Harry. And under no circumstances are you allowed near Draco unless it is to thank him" She scolded him
"Yeah I know, Herm. But it's just so hard you know and I'm not going to do anything to Draco. But I thought you said you weren't here to lecture me, so what are you here for? Harry said lightly, but he didn't fool Hermione but she decided to leave it for know she had other things to do.
"What, a girl can't visit her friend?" She asked nervous but Harry wasn't fooled and he only raised an eyebrow at her.
"Fine, there is no need to get cocky about it" She said
"So what is it?" Harry asked getting rather curios at how Mione kept getting more nervous by the minute
"Hehe, you see I kinda did something after you left the office before" Mione said shaking with nervousness
"What did you do? It can't be that bad Mione"
"Ok, promise that you won't yell and that you will let me explain this threw. Ok?"
"Ok" Harry said getting rather nervous at the way his friend was acting "I promise"
"IkindapromisedDmubeldorethatyouwouldanswersomeofhisquestions" Hermione said really fast
"Ok, now please say that again, but a bit slower this time" Harry said
"Ok, here goes nothing" Mione said to her self, and then took a deep breath and said as calm as she could, "I promised Dumbeldore that you would answer some of his questions" She said intimately and quietly but Harry heard her nonetheless.
"YOU DID WHAT? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Were you even thinking?" Harry yelled at her
"I-I, you promised not to yell and let me explain myself, "Hermione said close to tears
"I don't see the use, but fine then go ahead and try to explain yourself" Harry spat" But I can tell you right now that I am not answering a thing"
"Just hear her out," Ron said stepping up to them
Harry just glared, and Hermione started to explain.
"You see after you left we were really scared because we knew that you would do anything to get away, and we also knew that you couldn't go anywhere so we were afraid that you would do something bad. Something that was beyond repair. But I didn't even begin to imagine that you would go this far. But anyway, we needed to find you before it was too late. But we were only three and the castle is enormous and we knew that we could never search it all by our selves before it would be to late. And Dumbeldore" She spat" Didn't want to help us. So I panicked and I said that if he would help us I would talk to you and make you answer some of his questions. If you refuse I will have to do it Harry. And it is really not mine to do"
"How could you promise something like that Mione? You know how I feel about this. Hell you know what Angel feels about this. Why would you do something so stupid? Haven't you learnt that you can't make promises that you can't keep with out really bad consciences?" Harry said quietly
"It may not have been in my place to make that promise Harry" Mione said" But I would do it again in a heart bead because if I hadn't done it you would be dead right now. I know this affects you the most, but it still affects us too. We are apart of your life and the life we are trying so hard to hide. And we too cared about snuffels and our old headmaster and everything. We still do, although I am having doubts about the headmaster. We also care about you, and when you are hurt, we are too. You are a part of us Harry, and I would give anything to make sure that you were ok. And I am sure that Angel understands that. A part of you always knew that the time would come where you would have to tell Dumbeldore the truth. It is just happening sooner than later. And I also know that you have some differences since the end of the last year with our old headmaster. You don't need to tell him the truth just answer some of his questions. Please Harry" Hermione said pleadingly to Harry
Harry looked at her with a look in his eyes that she couldn't figure out.
"You don't understand what it is like to prudent to have to like him all the time, after what he did. You don't know what he told me that night," Harry finally said quietly
"No I don't Harry, and I am not going to prudent to understand it because I can't possible understand it unless I would know. But you have to understand that they are not the same person. This professor didn't say or do all the things the other one did."
There was silence. More silence. Still silence.
And finally after about ten minutes of absolute silence Harry spoke up.
"You are right Hermione, but it is still hard, but I'll try my hardest." Then he said a little higher so the headmaster who was standing a little away could here, "Mr. Dumbeldor I will allow you to ask a few questions, but I can not guaranty that I'll answer them all."
Dumbeldore came all the way to the bed with the rest of the teachers and conjured some chairs and then said with a small smile and the usual twinkle in his eyes.
"Alright Mr. Jameson. That will be enough for now. I want to say that I'm sorry for my actions before in my office. I should have handled it a bit.... Better. I just hope that you understand that this is something I need to do"
Harry just nodded curtly and told him to continue.
"Alright, a few you say?"
Again Harry nodded
"Why did you not inform us of your ability to speak to snakes when you arrived, since you insist that it is not a bad thing?" Was the first question.
Harry seemed to think about what to answer but finally he said,
"Are you sure you don't want to but some truth spells on me or something so that you are sure that I am telling the truth?"
"You are a smart boy Jameson. I already have but up a few." Dumbeldore answered
"Alright. Well I suppose that I didn't tell you because it didn't concern you that much and it would have ended with some uncomfortable questions being asked. Questions I was and still am not ready to answer. And beside, people attend to judge to fast" Harry said in a blank tone
Dumbeldore just nodded and hmmmed with himself, before asking the next question
"Why did you lie about your heritance then? I mean you have to be a pureblooded wizard to be able to speak parseltoung."
"Who says I lied? I really was raised in the muggle world. I never said anything about being a muggle" Harry said smiling slightly
"Alright, do you know who the snake you talked to is?"
"Her name is Nagini and she belongs to Tom Riddle or like he prefers to call himself, Voldemort" Harry said flatly
Dumbeldore looked rather taking back by that but asked the next question nonetheless
"What did she say?"
"That is none of your business but I suppose it couldn't harm to tell you. She said that her master would be happy with her for finding a worthy servant and that she could sense that I was a light wizard because snakes could read auras and she said that since she was the queen of the snakes she could sense that I was a speaker. She also said that I was the first ever, good speaker and that she would be informing Voldemort of me. She also provoked me to speak to her, and then she said something about me not knowing snake magic and not being able to control my gift"
"Really you can't? How is that possible, it isn't supposed to take more than year if you try." Dumbeldore said surprised
"Well I didn't find out until in my second year when there was a duelling club and a snake tried to attack a student and I told it to stop."
"That is strange. Why didn't you find out until so late?"
"Well, no one knew that I was one and I actually only found out by accent along with the whole school. I didn't even know why everyone thought it was so bad until Ron and Mione explained it to me"
"What did they say to you? And how did Miss Granger know more about it then you since she is the muggle one?
"She reads a lot and had read about it in a book and it just never came up at my home. They just explained what everyone thought of me given by what was happening at school," Harry said
"And what was happening?"
"Er, don't you have more questions to ask that has some point?" Harry managed to chance the subject
"Ahh yes I do, I'm sorry I just fell of the track a bit" A blushing headmaster answered
"So where do you come form then?"
"I am afraid that I can not answer that. Not now anyway"
"But Poppy knows" Dumbeldore whined like a child
"I trust Poppy, not you"
Dumbeldore looked rather taken back but continued anyway,
"Alright, Who kidnapped you?"
"I can't answer that either. Not even Poppy knows that" Harry said in the same flat voice
"What was James talking about before?" the headmaster asked curios
"He was just pissed about us not wanting to tell him about Nagini and then he just cracked. Started to yell about all the things that he had been holding inside for the last month. He didn't know what he was talking about. He shouldn't have said those things," Harry said in the first time showing an emotion.
"Yes, well teenagers, which brings me to, what is the deal between you and Mr. Milroy?"
"What do you mean?" Ron asked.
"Well, you all arrived together, but you keep avoiding each other. Why?"
"Well, in our old school, we were in different houses and well we didn't get along. Actually that is an understatement. Ever since I turned down his friendship he hated me, and I hated him. He did about anything in his power to make my life as miserable as possible. But when we arrived here we made a truce" Harry just said
"Why did you turn him out?"
"Because of the rumours and the attitude" Harry said smiling slightly at the memory
"What rumours?"
"Well they said that his family all used to be on Voldemorts side, and that his father was evil. He also insulted my friends and had this strange aura around him I just didn't like."
"So why make a truce if he is evil and you are not?"
"Because he is not evil. He doesn't wasn't to become his father" Harry said looking at Draco carefully.
"I see. But tell me Harry, why so mysterious, why the secrets? What is keeping you from telling the truth?"
"Well it is rather hard to explain. It is just better for everyone, because if they found out they would want to find out more and that could chance everything. And besides I made a promise. And I never brake promises" Harry said softly
"Al right, I will admit that I didn't understand a thing you said, but I do understand that you promised someone that you wouldn't say something. But what about the chair? Why are you in a wheelchair?"
Harry looked down for the first time but after a small time he looked up again and said in a sad voice,
"I had a accident with my family that I would rather not talk about"
Dumbeldore didn't quite understand but he did get that this was privet madder
"Then I don't suppose you want to tell me why you jumped?"
Harry looked startled at the question but answered nonetheless
"I just couldn't take it anymore. My life it has never brought anything good to anyone and it did not just make me unhappy but also everyone around me and they deserve better. Besides, it is not like someone would miss me" Harry said the last part so softly that no one heard it but Dumbledore but he decided not to press the madder
"You said something before you jumped. You said something about killing someone. Who have you killed?" Dumbeldore asked carefully
Hermione looked outrageous, "Harry how can you even say that. It wasn't your fault that they died. None was your fault"
"Yes it was" Harry yelled back "It was all my fault and you know it"
"Harry listen to me. Did you take your wand and point it at any of them and say the words?" Mione asked softly
There was silence and then
"No. But...
"No buts Harry, you didn't kill them. In the end the little things don't madder. If you want to blame your self because you thought you were doing the right thing that you might just as well blame your parents for having you." Mione said but Harry didn't look convinced so she continued" Fine look at it this way. Do you blame Ginny about what happened in our second year?"
Harry looked horrified
"No, of course not. She couldn't have know th...
"Exactly Harry, she couldn't have known and neither could you have"
Harry didn't have anything else to say so Dumbeldore decided to continue
"Do you work for the Voldemort or another evil forces?"
"No" was all Harry said
"Alright, I just have one more question before I leave you to your sleep,
What is your real name?"
Harry looked at Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Draco and Poppy. The all wanted him to say the same thing. All of the sudden Harry felt tired. Not sleepy tired but tired of this game. He had told so himself that he didn't like lying so why was he doing it? Because he was still pissed at the headmaster from his own time, he thought to himself. But Hermione is right. He doesn't know what he has done. So after a while Harry finally opened his mouth.
"My name Is Harry. Harry James Potter"
There was utter silence, but it didn't last for long, because Harry burst out laughing, soon followed by his friends and Poppy. They just couldn't help them selves. None of them had ever seen their headmaster like that before. There was utter shock placed on his face. But at the noise he seemed to recover
"I'm sorry I must have misheard, what did you say your name was?" The headmaster whispered in silence
"I am almost sure you heard me right headmaster, I said that my name was Harry Potter."
This time though the headmaster didn't seemed so shocked. He looked rather horrified.
"In the name of Merlin" the headmaster whispered, but then he asked, "How does a Potter know the Weasley's?"
"I'm sorry? What do you mean?" Harry asked confused
"Well you said before, when we were at the tower that you wanted us to bring a message to the Weasleys"
"Oh yeah, but why couldn't a Potter know a Weasley? The Weasleys are a well known pure blooded family," Harry said
"Are you sure you are a Potter?" Dumbeldore asked.
"Well yeah, I'm pretty sure. But what did you mean"
"Well, the Potters are a better respected, I mean. The Potters are a bit like the Malfoys, they are raised in a specific way. And they are no allowed to associate with those below them. Well not so much below them anyway" Dumbeldore said carefully
"What do you mean by that? What's wrong with the Weasleys they are well known and they are light"
"Well, I know that." Dumbeldore said looking uncomfortable "It's just that they are not known to have much between their hands. You should know this Harry; you should not associate with those alike. Keep to the company you have, although it is a bit unusual. The Potters are not allowed to have friends that are muggels or unknown wizards."
"Well I think that that is stupid. And besides my friends are not unknown. You just don't know them." Harry said very angry "And what about James. The Blacks don't exactly have a clean records, and Lupin? And Pettigrew? You couldn't become more stupid then him."
"I know that he has chosen a rather unnormal friends for his status. But Sirius is not evil like his family he is disowned. And well Lupin is a rather respectable name. I suppose if it weren't for...er yeah, I think that James is doing a good thing by making friends with him. Peter is... one of a kind, but I think James just felt a little sorry for him. His parents were not pleased at first, but they love their son more than the name and trust him to make his own decisions. Although they have given him a number amount of speeches I have heard," Dumbeldore said his beard twitching a little" And well even if the choose is a bit... weird, it was James's to take and well no others. And I and his parents support him"
"Ok, but why can he have friends of his own choose but not me" Harry said.
"Well I was a bit rotten apple to tell the truth. I choose my own ways, and for it I was disowned. That is why I took my mothers name up gain. She still loved me even if I didn't like the ways I was supposed to be. And well I didn't exactly raise my son to be the model Potter, and I suppose James got it from us. But I dare to say that none of us went as far as James. He is lucky not to be disowned"
Harry's mouth was hanging open, as were the others.
"You mean to tell me that you are a Potter?" Harry finally said.
"Well of course I am. It is not widely known, but every Potter knows. Don't you have a copy of the family tree?"
Harry just shook his head and then asked,
"How exactly are you related to James?"
"Well I am his grandfather of course"
"WHAT?" Harry yelled before he could stop him self.
"Harry, he doesn't know, so cool it," Mione said kindly still in shock
"Yeah you're right, I'm sorry sir. I just don't understand, that's all" Harry said weakly
"Well neither do I Harry. You see every Potter receives a family tree at the age of ten. And well, you are not on it. In fact the only living Potters are supposed to be, James, Harold my son and me. And I am sure you are not from some other side of the family, since the Potters have always been only children, except in three cases, but then either the other child died or didn't have children. Witch means that you must be, my, Harold's or James son, but that doesn't make much sense, now does it?" Dumbelodre mused
Harry gulped; he hadn't known that he would have to say the whole truth. But by the looks of it he might just have to.
"Harry?" Poppy said carefully
"Yeah?"
"I think that you should tell him the rest." She said but before Harry could say something Dumbeldore did
"So you knew that he was a Potter?"
"Yes I did, but I didn't know you were one. But I suppose it explains a bit why you are so powerful. Related to both the Potters and the Dumbeldores. But Harry he needs to be told. You don't have to tell him about, you know everything, just where you are from."
"But if I did that Poppy, he would ask questions. And I don't want to answer them" Harry cried.
"Well what if I promise that I won't ask any questions? Will you then tell me?"
Harry looked sceptical but nodded anyway.
"Ok here it goes" He said to him self" Ok headmaster, what I am about to tell you is not a joke and you are not hearing things. Ok?"
"Ok"
"Good, but before I tell you don't you want to know who my friends really are?" Harry said trying to stall
Dumbeldore just smiled knowingly and told him to go right ahead
"Ok, well this is Hermione Granger, a muggle born witch, those two over there are Ron and Ginny Weasley, pureblood wizards, and that is none other that Draco Malfoy"
Dumbeldore was gaping. Yep, really gaping.
"Uhh, well, I-I, it's nice to meet you?" Dumbeldore said weakly and if Harry hadn't known what he was about to do he would have laughed his head of.
"Mpfh," Was all Ginny said.
"Look, I'm sorry about what I said, I have nothing personal against your family. In fact Arthur was one of my favourites students when he went here. But it is my duty as a Potter, even if I am disowned that I inform every Potter of how the Potter laws work" The headmaster said looking very much so sorry.
Ginny and Ron both just nodded.
"Well, Harry I just have to say that you have out done James even, but continue please" Dumbeldore said laughing
"Well here is the thing, I am aware that I can't just tell you this and not tell you anything about my life, since you can't ask about it. It is a bit unfair, so you will have to let me explain.
"Ok" The headmaster, said getting rather curios
"Ok well like I said my name is Harry Potter, and I am the son of James Potter and I was born the year 1989 (I have no idea when he was born so I just made that up)
There was silence, and the teen's looked with amusement at the headmaster chance expressions. First there was shock, then there was confusion then there was disbelief, then there was anger, then there was a happy face and then a shock again. Finally he spoke,
"So do I have a great-grandchild, fantastic"
"Yes to congratulation with that Albus, but Harry didn't you say that you were kidnapped, and how on earth is it possible to travel through time?" Mcgonagall said with disbelief
Harry looked rather surprised to see her there, he hadn't noticed her before.
"Well we were kidnapped. It is rather hard to explain you see but I'll try my...
"But you were raised in muggle London?" Dumbeldore intervened
"Ok, let me explain here please. When I was an infant I lived at Codric's Hollow then I moved to London and I lived there until I got my Hogwarts letter, then I started to go to Hogwarts. I met Ron there on the train and we instantly got along and became best friends. I also met Mione on the train but well; we didn't get along that well. Frankly Ron hated her and I decided to play along because I was just so happy that Ron wanted t be my friend. We all got sorted to Gryffindor. We continued to hate Mione. I actually started to really dislike her at a time because she wouldn't stop talking about my life and it freaked me out that my classmate knew more about me then me. But anyway that year on Halloween something happened and we became best friends. We soon got the name the golden Gryffindor trio. But anyway, I continued to go to Hogwarts and only went home for the summers, the first Christmas I went from Hogwarts was last year, and then we went to snuffels place. But anyway, last summer something happened and I had to go back to Hogwarts sooner, because I was hurt. So I spent the next two weeks I the hospital wing. And the day before my birthday this woman comes to visit us. I really don't know what happened because I was unconscious at the time but when I woke up I was here and the lady told me that she had brought us to the past. She isn't evil; she only did it to help me, to help us. As soon as she had finished explaining things to us we went to find you, and well you know the rest headmaster."
"I see, but why did you live in muggle London?" Dumbeldore asked
"It was actually your decision sir" Harry said
"Ok, but why did Miss Granger know more about you than you?"
"Well, like you have probably noticed, she likes to read and she had read about the Potters in some books. And well, my family didn't talk much about that sort of stuff since we lived with the muggels"
"I see you said something before about last Christmas. Something about you having a vision of their dad. Is that why you left school that time?"
"Yes, Mr. Weasley was working for the order and I had a vision of Nagini attacking him. I told you and you told us to go to snuffels place until Mr. Weasley would recover." Harry said trying his hardest not to revile too much
Dumbeldore sighed tiredly
"What is wrong Albus?" Poppy asked concerned
"There can only be one rezone that someone could still be working for the Order. It has not finished" The old man said lacking the happiness in his face that was almost always there and for a moment Harry felt really bad for not being able to tell him about the future
"Well, Albus, I wouldn't give up so easily if I were you" Poppy said and she winked at Harry who blushed like a mad man
"What do you mean? What does she mean Harry? Is there something more you know?" Dumbeldore asked hopeful
"Look headmaster, I can not tell you about the future. You know what might happen. It could chance and I am not ready to take the consciences for it. I'm sorry. But don't be to quick to judge sir"
The headmaster smiled weakly but then something hit him,
"You are a seer?"
Harry really looked uncomfortable," Not really. I don't think so anyway. I have my visions because I have my scar."
"Huhh?" The man said confused
"It is almost morning headmaster, and I am really tired. I trust that you will be keeping an eye on me. Good night sir"
"Alas you are right my boy it is getting late, or should I say early. And I will be keeping an eye out for you Harry and we will talk again soon. Good night my boy and pleasant dreams"
And with that said the headmaster, Mcgonagall, and the other teens walked away."

DUMBELDORE'S POV!!!
It just can't be, he thought for about what had to be the millionths time that evening. But yet he believed him.
The old man had just entered his office after leavening Harry in the Hospital wing, and he was now sitting behind his desk thinking about what had just happened.
Finally he sighed, it was only three hours until breakfast had to be served, and he needed to organize the staff meeting that was supposed to be held tomorrow evening. So Dumbeldore started to organize, but he couldn't concentrate properly. His actions may have been on the paperwork but his mind was with Harry.
How could he have traveled through time and space? It was the impossible.
"Nothing is the impossible with magic" Dumbeldore said out loud. These used to be the words his mother had told him every night before he was disowned.
But still too travel through time. It was not only the undoable but also the most dangerous thing you could do.
But then again, Dumbeldore thought, maybe Harry knew exactly how it was done but just didn't want to tell him.
Dumbeldore frowned. Hi did keep awful lot of secrets. It was not healthy.
But there were also so many weird things that didn't add up. James wanted nothing more than to join the order and fight for good in the war. Then why would he move to London? Why had he asked him to move to London?
There were so many questions that Dumbeldore needed answer to.
How could Harry be a parselmouth, if he was a Potter? Only powerful dark wizards were parselmouths. And why had he been so surprised when he had told Harry that he was his grate grandfather. He must have known. And why on earth didn't he have a family tree? It just didn't make sense.
Finally Dumbeldore gave up on the paperwork and collected his pensive.
He concentrated on all the thoughts that he had of Harry and placed them in his pensive to observe.
He noticed many things that he didn't understand or that didn't make sense and he made sure to write every bit down. All of the sudden there was a knock on the door,
Enter, the man said and in came Professor Mcgonagall
"Albus, what are you doing up here? Breakfast started 15 minuets ago, the students that are there are getting restless because both you and Mr. Jameson are missing and well, James and his friends have been saying not so pleasant things about him and what happened yesterday"
"Wait a minute" Dumbeldore said, and then he turn back to the memory he was looking at. It was from last night, of Mione trying to convince Harry to talk to him. Then the girl said an interesting thing,
"It may not have been in my place to make that promise Harry" Mione said" But I would do it again in a heart bead because if I hadn't done it you would be dead right now. I know this affects you the most, but it still affects us too. We are apart of your life and the life we are trying so hard to hide. And we too cared about snuffels and our old headmaster and everything. We still do, although I am having doubts about the headmaster. We also care about you, and when you are hurt, we are too. You are a part of us Harry, and I would give anything to make sure that you were ok. And I am sure that Angel understands that. A part of you always knew that the time would come where you would have to tell Dumbeldore the truth. It is just happening sooner than later.
Dumbeldore made the memory disappear, and then he looked up to the professor who had also been listening to the memory.
"Who on earth is Angel?" Dumbeldore asked no one in particular
"I don't know sir, but I don't think that this is the right time to think about it. You can ask Harry later, although I doubt that he will give you a straight answer. He is so mysterious that boy. It creeps me out" The teacher said.
There was a few moments silence and then
"But anyway, you should head down for breakfast now, so the students won't take James's word to serious" Mcgonagall said hurriedly
"Yes I'm coming, and on the way you can tell me the rumours about my grate grandchild" Dumbeldore said smiling as he stood up.
---------------------------------------
HARRY'S POV
He couldn't sleep. He knew that there would be breakfast soon and that he should really try and get some sleep, but he couldn't sleep.
He couldn't stop thinking about Dumbeldore being his Grate grandfather. How could he not have told him sooner?
Harry knew that Mione was right, and that this Dumbeldore wasn't to blame by everything the other Dumbeldore had said or done or rather hadn't said or done. But Harry couldn't help but to feel a little bit irradiated towards the old man. But that was nothing compared to how he was feeling towards the future Headmaster.
He had already been pissed at the man for not telling him about the prophecy but now he was beyond pissed. How could he do something like that? He knew that the thing that mattered the most to Harry was family and yet he had taken away his only one. He had lied about it to him. Made him live with those muggle losers. He had never told him about is godfather either. He had had to find that out by hiding under his cloak and hear the professors talk about it in public.
And then he dared to say that he cared about him that night. If he had cared he wouldn't have lied to him. He wouldn't have taken what mattered the most to him away. He had told him the truth.
Harry wondered what else the man was hiding from him.
Yebb they would be having a long talk when Harry returned home.
Then Harry turned to the other side and fell instantly asleep.
-----------------------------------------
BREAKFAST
The door on the Great Hall burst open and in walked a moody professor and a rather angry headmaster.
All of the students started talking in hushed whispers and it made the sleepless headmaster more irritated than before. Sometimes he thought that his grandchild would be the end of him. He just couldn't belief that James would say things like that. Dumbeldore sat down in his chair and waited for the rest of the students to come so he could say a few words. When Mione, Ron, Ginny and Draco walked in he nodded politely to them and they nodded politely back. James who had noticed this send his grandfather a confused look but Dumbeldore only sent a poisoned look back to the boy who all of the sudden felt very scared and very confused.
"What's up with the headmaster?" Sirius asked James
"Beats me. But I get the impression that he isn't very happy about me at the moment. Although I can't for the life of me figure out a rezone. I haven't done anything bad since yesterday, and then everything was fine."
"Well maybe it has something to do with Jameson?" Remus suggested and all of the marauders looked at the other end of the table and glared at Harry's friends, who just glared back.
"That can't be. Why would he be mad at me about that? He has probably fired him about now. See he isn't even here. He is probably in Askaban or something...
James stopped talking when his grandfather stood up to address the students.
Dumbedlore looked over the students as he stood up and waited for everyone to quiet down. He looked at the time traveller's tired faces and gave them a weak smile. He felt a bit sorry for them and thought about giving them classes off, to get some sleep. They were with out a doubt sleepiest students in the Hall. Suddenly a foot kicked him and he realized that the entire Hall was looking at him waiting for him to say something. He blushed a little and then begun talking,
"Ahh, yes. Good day my dear students, I hope you enjoyed breakfast. I have a few madders to address, the first is that the quiddicth captain for the Slytherin team has stepped down, so you need to hold a meeting and vote a new one, the second matter is about Harry Jameson."
The Hall broke out in whisperers, and Dumbeldore waited patiently for them to stop before he continued.
"Like the most of you most likely know by now, Mr. Jameson had an little incident in the duelling club yesterday. It turned out that he is indeed a parselmouth. Some of you have heard rumours about him being, a werewolf, a serial killer, a muggle killer, a servant of the dark lord, or number of other things that I don't even dare to say. Some of you may also have heard that Mr. Jameson tried to use a snake to kill a student last night; I am now going to tell you that none of this is true. Yes Mr. Jameson is a parselmouth but he is most defiantly not any of the things above. Like most of you have noticed, Mr. Jameson is not here with us to day. But unlike what most of you believe, he has not been expelled, arrested or brought to questioning. He is currently staying at the Hospital wing for an unknown time and is excused form classes for the time being. I ask you not to interrupt or bother him, since he is going through a rough time. I only have one more thing to say before you can go to your classes, and that is that I think that Mr. Potter and everyone else who is involved, should go and apologies to Mr. Jameson for making all those rumours. I have asked Poppy to let you in. Now off you go"
James was waiting outside the DADA classroom, waiting for the professor to come
"I can't believe he did that. How can he believe Jameson. I wonder what happened after we left?" James asked no one in particular
"Maybe you should ask them?" Peter said pointing to the four tired teens that were walking towards the classroom.
"So Milroy, I see that you are hanging out with them again?" James said pointing at the three other teens
Yeah" Draco said as he yawned, "And what business is that of yours?"
"None, I was merely holding up conversation. Why are you so tired? James asked curios
"Well unlike you, I didn't go around all school making up stupid stories, I woke up all night searching and discussing things with Harry and the headmaster"
"So what did Jameson do to make the headmaster believe him? Used some dark curse didn't he?"
"Ughhh, I can't believe you James. After everything that has happened for the last month you think nothing better of him than this? And what were you thinking saying those things to Professor Mcgonagall? She actually believed you? I don't care what Harry says, to me you are nothing more than a arrogant liar until you say you're sorry to him" Mione spat
"So you are on his side then? You're a death eater too? I have to admit that I didn't see that one coming" James said
"You stupid asshole. Harry is no more death eater than you. You saw his hand. It was empty. Or are you perhaps blind you twit?" Ginny hissed
James looked rather surprised at the how they were all acting but finally said
"Maybe the likes of him don't need a Dark Mark, isn't it enough that he is a parselmouth? You read Granger; you should know that all past parselmouths have been evil. Rotten to the bones, and Jameson is no different. I don't need a dark mark to tell me that he is a parselmouth" James spat
"Listen to your self. What is wrong with you? Since when did you come so... judgmental? Tell me James. What do you think of werewolves?" Ginny said looking straight at Lupin who gulped.
"What has that got to do with anything'" James said looking rather nervous looking between Ginny and Lupin.
"Just answer the question. What do you think about werewolves?"
"I think that they are ok. I mean it depends on the person really. I know that some of them are actually very nice guys that are being treated unfairly," James said
"But isn't that exactly what you are doing to Harry? I mean Werewolves are marked evil and almost all of the turn evil, I at least don't remember of hearing about a good one before. But I agree with you, it all depends on the person. But so does it with parselmouths, they are just rarer than werewolves, and that is why the fewer of them turn good. I would have thought that you of all people would have understood that Remus" Ginny said calmly and before anyone could react she walked in to the now open classroom and took her seat.
