Hearts Shadow Trilogy: Awakenings

Chapter One

L.O.C.A.T.I.O.N: Hogwarts

"Some times one has to take drastic steps." An old man with a long white beard and spectacle-moon glasses sighed exasperatedly. He was dressed in purple robes, and was sitting at a desk, a flaming red and gold bird was on a perch next to him, it glared hatefully around the room. He was currently talking to something, something alive.

"But this is too drastic, hiding what he is, what he can be, what he can do…it's suicidal Albus!" A loud voice shouted at Albus Dumbledore the man with the white beard. The voice came from where a bunch of objects ranging from hats, swords, swirling devices, instruments, and more were scattered about.

"Sometimes one can be a bit suicidal when it is for the good of his country!" The old man around hundred and fifty years old said with enthusiasm. His old fists slammed down on the wooden desk in his office.

"Your country will fall with or without him. It is time for a change!" The voice by the odd items said again, a hat seemed to twitch as this was said.

"What do you know! You're nothing but a flimsy sorting hat, your only use is advice and sorting!"

"If 'advice and sorting' are all I'm good for, then you need to listen to my advice! Whether you like it or not, your country will fall, by His hands or by someone else, it does not matter. The effect has to be ended soon, before it gets out of control!"

"MY country will not fall! I've put to much into it to have it fall by Voldemort, Potter, or a different dark lord, I will protect my people! No one else!"

"Even at the cost of your own humanity?" The sorting hat asked Albus.

"If my humanity is needed as a sacrifice to save my country, I will sacrifice it gladly!"

"Your mind has been twisted and corrupted by the power you have gained, come next year, I shall not sort less you tell him who he is."

"What? You can't do that! We need the sorting, if students are placed in the wrong house…"

"More than one boy has been put in the wrong house do to me, you will do no worse. The house will either continue or change their destinies."

"Very well. Seeing how you are the last of the great sentient creations of the founder, I will not harm you, we will do without your services for the coming year."

"So be it." The Sorting hat said before quickly becoming silent.

The old man sat thinking at his desk. Not even a month ago the Dark Lord known as Voldemort was resurrected. Many of his death eaters had returned to him, and this had set in motion his own secret group. The Order of the Phoenix was one of the only groups to actively protest Voldemort and other dark lords, it had been founded in the late 1800's and had had many leaders, the current leader was Albus.

The previous year the school Hogwarts had been the host of the Triwizard Tournament, and had ended up having two champions. One of the champions Cedric Diggory had been slain by Voldemort, the other was lucky to escape with his life.

Harry Potter the-boy-who-lived, had been an important piece in the resurrection of Lord Voldemort. A duel had commenced at everyone that the evil wizard had killed came out of his wand, it was quite a lot. It ended right after the Potters, more would have continued to come, but this was where he began to worry.

Never did he suspect that Harry's parents would ever see or talk to the boy, he had been hoping that they would have died in the attack of Godric's Hollow, and would stay dead. Luckily they did indeed stay dead, but the brief contact may have awakened some of Harry's abilities, he might soon be remembering his past. His first or possibly second past, he would have to make sure to wipe the boys memories clean of any memories possibly gained.

There was a reason Albus had known the Potter's would be dead, oh yes, he knew. He was the one who arranged for Voldemort to find out, if he was right the traitor had gone against him and helped rise his old master. All the better it would save the gruesome task that would eventually have to come, he could under no circumstances allow the boy to learn of his pasts. It would ruin everything.

Since the day he was born, since the day he had head the two prophecies, he had been extremely careful, he needed to make sure that the boy did not learn anything he should not have. Three times in his school days did it happen, one the day he flew in with the Weasley's car, one after the Chamber of Secret's incident, and another right after the brat had heard a prophecy by Trelawney. Those three incidents had slightly awakened a very small part of his past, fortunately he was able to get rid of all it in time.

Albus was extremely surprised that the incident with Voldemort did not awaken any other memories, and for that he was extremely worried, it was why he now had many people watching over the boy. At the slightest sign of disturbance he would rush over and eradicate them. He had to do so before all the memories were regained, or before his past identity was revealed to him. If it was he would go onto phase two, kill him.

Everything he did he did for his country, for his power, for his fame, for his riches, and for his goal. He would let nothing stand in the way of his goals…nothing. He was thought to be a hero, the most powerful wizard alive, the most kindest, all were lies. Except the most powerful, with his influence he could do much, and he would continue to maintain his act, his air of innocence. Hopefully the boy would not awaken, hopefully nothing he feared would come to pass, he would strike first if it came to that.

A knock at his door startled him from his thoughts and his smile widened when he saw who it was.

"Ah, I was just hoping to talk to you. Do take a seat Lucius. We have much to discuss."

A/N: Harry is next chapter, and yes if you can't tell Dumbledore is a bit corrupt, not evil. Already huge twists, a bit shorter than the last chapter, but no matter, next chapter should be a bit longer. I hope you enjoyed, next chapter will be out sometime soon. Please read and review.
