Shocks

Harry looked at Remus with a glimpse of fear in his eyes.

''What's true?'' Harry asked with a frightened voice.

''Who are you?'' Uncle Vernon asked glaring at Harry. Aunt Petunia ran in the kitchen in tears. Harry turned around, he wasn't quite sure to whom uncle Vernon was talking. After he realized that uncle Vernon wasn't joking, he muttered

''It's me, Harry. What's going on?'' Harry turned towards Remus looking for an explanation.

''Harry, we have to go. Come on.'' Remus came closer puting his hand on Harry's shoulder. At that moment Remus couldn't do anything more irritating.

'' No! I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what the hell is going on!'' Harry ripped his hand abruptly from Remus.

''Your face...'' Vernon slowly exclaimed.

''What? What's wrong with my face!'' Harry shouted nervously. No one answered. He ran to the bathroom. Remus followed him leaving uncle Vernon standing mouth agape.

The boy looked in the mirror not recognizing the person opposite to him. Once messy hair was now flat and almost reached his shoulder. Although, his eyes were still the same colour, he could now see perfectly without wearing his glasses. His nose was looking strange and he seemed longer than before. The only two things showing that it was still the same boy was a famous scar on his forehead and startling green eyes. He was looking intently in the mirror up until Remus came and interrupted him.

''Harry...'' Remus whispered bowing his head.

''What did you do to me?'' Harry asked with a silent, disturbingly cold voice, which Remus never heard from him before.

''I'm sorry. Dumbledore told me...'' Remus carefully started explaining but was interrupted by that freezing voice once again.

''Dumbledore? I could have know that he would have something to do with this. The vial you sent me wasn't sleeping potion, was it? That old manipulator.''

Those last words caught Remus in surprise.

''What did you just say?'' Remus asked in disbelief.

''You heard me. I'm sick and tired of Dumbledore constantly meddling in my life! Why are you all lying to me? Dumbledore is acting towards me like I'm some kind of a ten-year old brat. Look at me! I look like a freak! He...'' Harry suddenly felt unusual rage and hatred overwhelm him .

''You will have your chance to tell him all of this in person. Immobulus!''

Remus acted quickly before Harry could pull out his wand. Harry wasn't moving anymore so Remus could take him to Hogwarts. He felt sorry for doing this but believed there was no other way to convince him to go along after what he had just seen in the mirror. Well, at least not without an explanation, and Remus knew he wasn't the one who should brake it to him. He apparated them both outside of Hogwarts wards. Harry was lying on the ground. Remus reversed the spell, now willing to risk the consequences of bringing Harry by force. Harry got up holding to his head.

''Why in the world did you do that for?'' Harry asked Remus looking at him with surprise. He never thought that Remus would do something like that.

''You forced me to do it. Let's go, they are waiting for you.'' Remus said and headed to the entrance. Harry followed him angrily.

''And may I ask who are 'they'? I mean, if you aren't going to hex me...'' Harry said with a sarcasm colouring his voice.

''Oh, stop it! I did what I had to do to get you out of there. I'm sorry, but you asked for it.'' Remus answered a bit angry at Harry for the thinghs he said about Dumbledore. He had the feeling that there was much more to come.

Harry layed off and just followed the werewolf. They both were silent all the way. Remus knew that Harry had every right to be angry with him and everybody else. Especially because Harry was right when he said that they were lying to him. It's true. But this time Dumbledore had nothing to do with all of this. They stopped in front of Dumbledore's office. Remus knocked and entered when he was permitted. Harry slowly entered after him. Dumbledore stood up from his desk carefully observing Harry's new appearance. The boy was avoiding an eye contact with Albus feeling slightly embarassed about all the things he said. Somehow, he had the strangest feeling that Dumbledore could hear his thoughts. A nervous cough made Harry turn to his left. He saw his potions master looking nervously at him. It was weird to see him without his usual stern mask. It seemed like he was pleased with the way Harry looked, but also like he's hiding something. He wasn't looking at the boy with disgust like before. Harry was wondering why Remus brought him here and what Snape had to do with all of it. Dumbledore broke the silence.

''Nice to see you again Harry. Please take a seat.'' Albus said with a calm voice.

Harry didn't move. He gave Dumbledore a look that sought an explanation. The old man realized it and sat behind his desk gesturing for Remus to sit down.

''Do you know why you are here?'' Albus asked.

''No. But it would nice if someone finally explained to me why I look like this.'' Harry was trying to keep himself together but his voice was belaying his anger.

''I suppose you got the vial Remus sent you.''

''Well, I think it's obvious, is it not?'' Harry said starting to get impatient. Snape caught Dumbledore's quick gaze.

''Yes, yes... I think we should get to the point. Remus brought you here because there is something you should know. Something very important that we recently found out. I really think you should sit down.'' Albus said with a seriuos tone.

Harry sat down next to Remus looking anxiously at Albus. So, another secret is about to be revealed about his life. And, of course he knew nothing about it. He was starting to get angry at Albus, but decided that it was best to let the man explain before insulting him.

''Harry, James Potter is not your father.'' Albus said looking at the boy with a sad look on his face.

''What... What are you talking about? You're joking, right? Tell me you're joking!'' Harry jumped from his seat glaring madly at Albus. His calm look was making him angrier than he already was.

Albus didn't move from his chair. Remus covered his face and sighed.

''Harry... No one's joking. I'm telling you the truth.'' Albus didn't have that peaceful look on his face anymore. He decided to let Harry express his feeling about what he had just heard. He was well aware of Harry's destructive manner, but that wasn't important at the moment. Severus stayed quiet, just looking at the boy, not knowing what to do.

''I don't believe you. Why are you doing this to me! You're lying! '' Harry started to yell angrily glaring at Dumbledore in disbelief.

''No one's lying. See for yourself.'' Albus said motioning to the pensieve on his desk.

Harry walked carefully to the pensieve. It was filled with floating thoughts. He was breathing heavily and tears ran down his face. He gave Albus an angry, yet sad look before looking in the pensive fearing what he may see inside.


Review!

A/N: Objavila sam priču na hrvatski, pa ako netko pročita neka ostavi kritiku. Hrvatska verzija I thought you were dead, zove se Zašto mi nitko nije rekao...?.

Osim moje, zasad je objavljena još jedna priča na hrvatski. Zove se Nepredvidljiva istina i odlična je. Preporučila bih ih svima kojima je dosadilo čitati priče na engleski, da za promjenu čitaju na hrvatski.

Thanks to all my reviewers and especially to my beta reader, Setsuri.
