Last Chapter:

Remus ran over to Harry with tears streaming down his face. He gently picked up the broken body and sitting on the ground rocked the

body while crying and apologizing for failing him and his parents. The rest of the Order made their way towards Remus. Mr. and Mrs.

Weasley held each other, as did McGonagall, Madame Pompfrey, and Tonks all sobbing. Shackelbolt and Moody looked ill, and Mrs.

Figg was collapsed on the ground. Dumbledore was kneeled next to Remus, with tears streamed down his face, weeping for the boy who

was like a grandson, the boy he had hurt, betrayed, and failed. They all sat there crying for several minutes when a bright light caught

their attention. The light was coming from Harry. The light grew brighter and brighter covering his entire body. Holding Harry, Remus

felt him arch his back. Startled, Remus looked straight at the body. He saw Harry's eyes open and give a gasping breath before he

disappeared. The Order members looked dumbfounded at the spot where Harry had been.

Chapter 2: Harry's Past

...Moody broke the silence, " We need to call a meeting for the entire Order and tell them what happened to Harry. Then we need to decide what

to tell the people about Harry's death. . ." Remus snapped his head up, "Harry is not dead!" Moody shook his head, "Now Lupin, I know you

loved Harry and as much as we all want to believe; the truth is that Harry is dead, you have to let him. . ." "No, I. . . , He is alive! Before he

disappeared, he opened his eyes and started breathing"

Dumbledore looked at Moody, who was going to argue some more, "Remus is correct. Harry is indeed alive, but where he is, I cannot even

begin to imagine"

Molly started sobbing in relief, "What are we going to do to find him, do you think You-Know-Who has him?" She was starting to get hysterical

first seeing one of her babies (Harry was another one of her sons) hurt and dead, then just disappear into thin air.

"Molly calm down, I do not think that Voldemort has Harry, but I will not rule it out until I ask Severus, however I do not believe Harry is in

danger. We can tell the public that Voldemort tried to attack Harry, but Harry safe and hidden. " Molly looked like she was about to protest

something when Dumbledore raised his hand, "We will continue to search for Harry; however, I believe that Voldemort will start attacking more

frequently now that he thinks Harry is dead. We must be ready to fight, and hope that Harry will come home safely. Did any of the Dursleys

survive"

Kingsley, who had already checked the house nodded, "Mrs. Dursley and her son are still alive. From what I've gathered is that Mr. Dursley

started to insult the Death Eaters calling them 'freaks' and other nonsense, and needless to say, the Death Eaters did not care for being called

names. They tortured and killed him and they were about to move on to the others when they saw Voldemort outside with Harry and decided to

watch"

Dumbledore nodded, "Have them take a portkey to the Hogwarts infirmary and Poppy will you make sure they are alright?" Poppy nodded a

response and Dumbledore continued, after they have rested and eaten I would like to ask them a few questions. Remus, could you come with me

while I see if Harry's stuff is still inside"

Remus nodded and as soon as everyone else had left, Remus and the old headmaster walked up the front walk of the perfectly normal looking

house. Walking inside, Albus noticed dozens of pictures cluttering every single free space available. Upon closer examination, he realized that

Harry did not appear in a single picture. He started to get a bad feeling. Walking up the stairs the feeling grew. He passed a large bedroom that

was the master bedroom, then a guest bedroom. He then saw the bathroom and next to it was a large bedroom filled with all sorts of muggle toys

like computers and televisions and game box thingies. Across from this bedroom was what had to be the smallest bedroom in the house. He

noticed that this door had several locks on the outside and a cat flap fitted into it. Albus was shocked, this couldn't be Harry's room could it?

Opening the door, he saw some of Harry's things scattered about, but most of his things were still packed in his trunk. Looking at the desk, he

saw the note that Harry had started to write, "He didn't even have a chance to contact us" Albus said. After putting everything back in the trunk,

he whispered "Accio Harry's things." He and Remus heard small knocking sounds under Harry's bed and watched as his photo album, invisibility

cloak and several packages of food flew out from under a floorboard. Albus stood there shocked, "They were mistreating him weren't they"

Remus looked at the headmaster who had tears in his eyes, "Molly mentioned that Ron told her to send Harry some food because his cousin was

on a diet. I also overheard Ron and Hermione discuss the possibility. It seems in his second year, Ron and the twins went to get Harry and there

were bars on his window and the twins had to pick the locks on his door to get his trunk from the cupboard under the stairs"

Albus shook with grief, "No wonder he kept asking to stay at Hogwarts every summer. Merlin, I kept forcing him to come here every year. I am

going to find out what else they have been doing to him"

"How are you going to do that?" Remus asked. "I am going to make one of his so-called relatives drink some juice laced with veritaserum and

ask a few questions." came the reply. Remus nodded, "Good." Albus looked at Remus in surprise, what he was going to do wasn't strictly legal.

Upon seeing his face Remus replied, "They may have hurt my cub, I want to know exactly what they did before I can get my revenge." Taking

Harry's things they left for Hogwarts.

After arriving to Hogwarts, the two men went straight to the infirmary where they found the younger Dursley stuffing his face while his mother was

trying in vain to stop him eating the "freak" food. After finally reminding him of his tail and tongue, Dudley became pale and dropped his fork

refusing to eat another bite, much to the pleasure of the other occupants. Everyone who was at Harry's this morning had turned up to hear the

questioning. Albus tried to give Petunia a kind grin, but with the new information still fresh in his head it turned into a grimace. Petunia glared at him
in return. "Mrs. Dursley, would you please tell me what happened?" She began to recount the nights events, "We were down in the living room,

watching a movie, when several of you freaks broke into our house. They wanted to know where the boy was, Vernon told them to take the boy

and keep away from us. The man three of them went upstairs with the man without a mask following them. The others started torturing Vernon

and then they killed him"

Where was Harry while you three were downstairs?" Dumbledore asked.

"That freak was in his room where he belongs." she said. Everyone looked at her in anger and Albus even had to stop himself from hexing the

woman. Snape, who had returned, looked startled. 'Wasn't the Golden Gryffindor worshiped at home?' he thought.

"When we went to Harry's room there were several locks and a cat flap on his door," Albus continued.

Petunia rolled her eyes, "We weren't about to let the boy wander around to rob or murder us while we slept." By now everyone was past anger

and looked like the wanted nothing more to kill the woman.

While all this was going on, Dudley kept opening and closing his mouth and looking around in search of something to drink. Dumbledore went into
Poppy's office and returned with a goblet of pumpkin juice spiked with truth serum and handed it to Dudley. After gulping the juice down his

body went slack and his eyes lost focus. Petunia shrieked and started curing them (the muggle way) and finally had to be stunned. Albus turned to

Dudley and began the questioning.

(A/N: the next part is one line Dumbledore asking a question, the next line is Dudley's answer. I'm not going to keep putting Dumbledore said or

Dudley replied so keep track)

"What is your name"

"Dudley Dursley"

"What is your cousin's name"

"Harry Potter"

"How is Harry treated in your family"

"He is a freak and he is treated like one. He lived in the cupboard under the stairs until you freaks wrote him a letter and dad thought you would

find out so he was given my second bedroom. He was given my old clothes. Mum and Dad made him do almost all of the chores including

cooking since he was three. If he did anything wrong or annoyed dad, then he was punished"

"What were some of his punishments"

"He would be locked in the cupboard for days and wouldn't get any food. I also beat him up with my friends and my parents didn't stop me, in

fact several times I was told to hit him"

"Did your father ever hit Harry"

"Yes, fairly often until he got the letter"

"Did he verbally abuse him as well"

"Yes, Harry was called boy or freak and mum and dad bad mouthed Harry's parents"

"What else did your parents ever do to Harry"

"We never celebrated his birthday, if we gave him a gift it would be a coat hanger or a pair of dad's old socks"

"What about the locks and cat flap on Harry's door"

"Dad put those on his door and bars on his window about four years ago when he used his freakiness to drop a pudding on a guest's head. Harry

was locked up and fed through the cat flap. Dad also wanted to make sure he doesn't go back to his freak school, but freaks come every year to

get him"

The veritaserum started to wear off. Dudley blinked and shook his head. "What happened, why did I say all those things? What did you do to my

mum"

Petunia was woken up and they both ranted and raved until they saw the look of fury on Dumbledore's face, the look he usually reserved for

Voldemort and Death Eaters. "How dare you treat Harry like that, I. . ." Dumbledore closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. "Ladies and
gentlemen, let us continue discussing what we have heard here. Mrs. Dursley, you and your son are to stay here. If you cherish your life you will

stay out of my way. Now I must leave before I do something rash"

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Never had anyone seen Dumbledore have to restrain himself from hurting anybody, much less muggles.

The made their way to the Great Hall, discussing this new information, not wanting to be in the muggles' shoes right now.
