Dear Mr. Potter,

Please read this letter without prejudice. I know some of this may seem unbelievable, but trust me, it is the truth. After Dumbledore's death, interestingly enough, my true memories were restored to me, as well as most of the wizarding world. I was somewhat shocked by this. But after the initial shock of the event, I became enraged. Dumbledore used me to better his status and to gain unconceivable power. He messed with my mind and turned my ideals from good to evil, creating this 'Voldemort' character. Then my grandson, that would be you Harry, he used you. He wanted you to defeat me and after that, he had plans. He wanted to make you Minister of Magic. Then Dumbledore had plans to do the same thing he did to me to you. He would make you insane and kill you himself. Then he would be named Minister and take over the wizarding world. I know all of this seems impossible and that it sounds like a trap. But I assure you dear boy, that what I have written is true. When the time is right, we shall meet and discuss everything. I have already met with the Order of the Phoenix and had this conversation with them. It seems that Dumbledore had them under a spell. He controlled them and manipulated them as well. I must go now, I am ready to begin the restoration of my body. It will take some time, a month at the minimum and two months at the most. Hopefully by that time you will have accepted everything I have wrote in this letter. I will explain how you are my grandson at a later date. McGonagall will explain some things when she retrieves you tomorrow. I bid you farewell for now Harry. Please think over everything I have told you.

Your grandfather,

Tom Riddle

Harry stared at the letter in shock. He didn't want to believe the word in the letter, but somehow he knew they were true. Harry didn't know what to think. And according to the letter, he had a month or two to figure out his feelings.

Harry looked out into the night sky and saw the stars brighter than any other time in his life. He knew he wouldn't be able to fall asleep any time soon. The letter had broken the fantasy of Harry's full night of sleep.

Harry grabbed his HIM fleece blanket and a cd player. He made his way out of the window and onto the roof. This was a recent habit he picked up. The clear night helped him think and sort out his feelings.

He normally came up here to think of Snape and Draco It was funny that he no longer thought of the blond as Malfoy. Harry couldn't deny some things now. Harry would sit on the roof thinking about the night that Dumbledore died over and over again.

He thought of the night from a rational point of view. Harry realized that Snape done what he did because he had no other choice. Then, a thought slammed into Harry's head.

Snape was a skilled Occlumens. What if he happened to have broken Dumbledore's spell and did away with Dumbledore to save everyone from his madness because he knew what Dumbledore was hiding? But then again, Harry thought, that would be too much of a coincidence.

Harry sighed a he wrapped the blanket around himself and turned up the volume to the cd player. His thoughts drifted back to Draco again. He knew he had a crush on the blond since fourth year. He was dating Blaise Zabini at that time; in fact they stayed together until the end of fifth year when Blaise found out that Harry liked Draco. Blaise never gave Harry the exact reason for breaking up with him, but the two remained good friends. Harry was closer to Blaise than he was to Harry. When he first suspected Draco of being a Death Eater the previous year, it had broken Harry. Harry rushed to the comforts of Blaise. Instead of taking his anger out on inanimate objects, Harry dedicated all of sixth year to expose Draco. Harry realized that he had missed his chance to befriend Draco and develop the friendship into something more.

Harry eventually fell asleep thinking of the blond Slytherin.
