I actually got reviews. YAY! The voting is Susan:2 Other:0 so far for Harry's girlfriend/signifacant other.
Thank you for reviewing and please do so again.
I will do my best to make chapters longer as I go but it is hard at this point cause all my ideas are like 4th year and on so...yeah.
A Little Chat
After arriving, Harry falling, Daniel laughing and Dumbledore twinkling, a semblence of order was brought to the group.
"Daniel, I need to speak to Harry alone, please." Dumbledore stated with no room for argument.
"Just get me if you need me. I will be in my room reading my new theory books." Daniel said noticing the toneand was off leaving Harry and Albus to talk.
"Where do I start?" Dumbledore asked himself pacing. "Why not...yes, that is as good as any place." He paused and took a breath. "Okay. It starts about 1 month before you were born. I was interviewing a new teacher for an opening in Divination, basically the art of seeing the future. Her name was Sybill Trelawney, and was the direct discendent of another seer of great power and she had a prophecy to her name. Being only about 20 years old at the time I wasn't going to be expecting anymore for a while.
"When I was speaking to her it became apparent that she was a fraud and the prophecy was either fake or a fluke. When I was about to leave she started to get rigid, floated off the ground horizontally, and spoke in a voice unlike her own, that is classic position for when the fates allow a sight to happen. She said:
"'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.'
"When she finished I couldn't believe it. A war we were, in truth, loosing and we get a chance. Someone to take the mantle, as it were. After waiting for the seventh month, July, I found it came down to you or a boy named Neville Longbottom. You were more likely being born on the 31st rather than the 30th as Neville was and you were more alike Voldemort than Neville was.
Eventually word had leaked about the prophecy through a spy in our ranks. The spy only knew 2 lines of it, though, so I kept the ending of it close to heart and only told your and Nevilles parents the full prophecy. We narrowed it down to 1 of 3 people who could have betrayed us. Your godfather, Sirius Black, or your parents friends Remus Lupin or Peter Pettigrew. After deciding to use the fidelius charm your parents said they had made arrangements for the secret keeper to be safe. I trusted their judgement in the matter when they decided on Sirius Black.
Within 1 week at Godric's Hollow, where you and your parents lived, you were attacked."
Harry cried out at this. "My godfather betrayed us?" disbelief was evident on Harry's face.
"Yes, among other things." Dumbledore answered wearily. "We don't know much about what happened when your parents fought Voldemort. All we know is that James tried to buy you and Lily time to get out, but couldn't face Voldemort for very long. When Voldemort defeated your father and reached your nursery, he killed your mother and tried to kill you."
"Uh, tried, sir?" Harry asked when Dumbledore took another breath.
"Yes, tried." Dumbledore replied. "That scar is proof that he only tried. He used the killing curse, a curse that can't be blocked as far as we know, but you did, you survived with only that mark. Somehow your mothers sacrifice or some random bit of magic saved you. I don't know. A loving and willing sacrifice of life could have done something or maybe the prophecy from earlier could have needed you to survive so it intervined, they are very powerful pieces of magic, given to us by fate. It is very possible it could be a combination of both. Its all just a jumble of magic as far as we can tell.
"After that happened Sirius showed up at your parents house and was going to take you with him. Hagrid, a friend of mine, showed up and was able to take you instead. After Hagrid left, Sirius disappeared but was found later by Peter. Peter confronted Sirius, but was never the best duelist and got killed, along with 13 muggles, by Sirius. Within moments of this the Ministry Aurors showed up and captured Sirius.
"After all that has happened you are now famous. You killed the most powerful dark wizard in a century and you survived the killing curse. By no means a small feat, either of those moments.
Finally, we know you are the child of the prophecy. Your scar marks you as the one." Dumbledore finished the first piece of the explanation.
"Why did I go to the Dursley's to live if I was famous?" Harry asked. "Surely some wizarding family would have happily taken my in."
"That was my choice. I placed ward upon ward over that house. The most important being a blood ward based on your mother and aunt. Basically any wizard with ill intent toward you would never reach within a mile of the house. The problem was that the wards didn't protect you from the people inside the house. For my oversight I am deeply sorry." Dumbledore said with a voice filled with guilt.
After taking a breath, Dumbledore continued once again. "I should have checked on you, at least one time,but I thought, like here in the wizarding world, that family meant something. I believed that family was one of the most important things in the world. It is so important in the wizarding world that at times family members get closer than the family relationships. I just, I never, ever believed a family could stoop so low as the Dursley's did. Again, I am sorry."
Harry said what any kid his age would say, "I am okaynow, sir. I am fine, see? So you don't have to worry anymore."
"Thank you, Harry. I believe for today that should be enough." Dumbledore said and Harry nodded. "There are customs and other pureblood traditions it would be best if you learned. We can have Daniel teach them to you at a later date. You may also wish to look up your family vaults and the like later as well. For now go to bed, and good night."
"Proffessor?" Harry started. After seeing Dumbledore look back he continued, "Where do I sleep?"
A look of suprise crossed Albus' face, "Oh yes. Forgot to tell you that. Right this way. If you ever wish to speak to somebody about what I have told you, myself and Daniel are here to help." Dumbledore said. "Now, a long sleep should do you well. I must speak to Daniel now." With that Dumbledore dropped Harry off in bed to sleep.
Arriving in the room, Harry looked around, Has to be as big as the entire cupboard under the stairs. Harry thought looking at the bed alone. Looking around he found a dresser with the clothes they got earlier, a desk with chair, window, closet, and connecting bathroom. Living in up, I guess. Picking out his blue pajamas Harry was asleep in seconds.
