"I thought those were a myth." Charlie said as he paled along with everyone else in the room. All except Harry, who looked confused. Seeing the boy's confusion, Charlie explained. "An obscurus manifests when a wizarding child tries to repress their magic. An obscurial is the host. If they get to an emotional breaking point they can manifest as an obscurus and violently attack. But it has to have been years since one has been seen if most people think it is a myth."

Tom nodded. "One thing that Albus too many damn names Dumbledore doesn't want people to know… is that he was lovers with Grindelwald. He was the last one to try and control an obscurial. There was also a rumor that Dumblefuck's sister had also been an obscurial and that is how she died. Not a casualty of their fight. The fight might have caused her to break, but Grindelwald didn't actually kill the girl. There is also a rumor that the reason obscurus are rarely seen is because they don't die. They just move on to a new obscurial."

Tom paused to look at everyone in the room to make sure they were following. "The last obscurial had even learned to control the obscurus, if the rumors are true. I believe that Dumbledore has attempted to get his sister's obscurus back, by making a new obscurial. And I believe he has tried three times. Myself, Severus and Harry. One other thing worth mentioning is… the more powerful the child… the more powerful the obscurus."

The room was silent once more. So Tom went on. "Dumbledore knew what my life was like in the orphanage. He knew what Severus was going through at his own home and he took my own son and placed him in a situation he believed would manifest as an obscurial. Sadly I believe that was a personal attack on myself for not becoming what he wanted."

"So this whole bloody war was caused because of one selfish and manipulative asshole?" Charlie asked in disbelief. "If the man wanted an obscurial so bad, why didn't he just have his own damn child and make one himself? Why play others the way he has?"

"Because that would take away from his leader of the Light persona." Harry growled. "He became a hero for defeating his lover. He couldn't allow his reputation to be tarnished so he had others do his dirty work."

"And who says he didn't have a child of his own?" Tom said with a knowing smirk. "People who followed Grindelwald said he was very fond of the obscurial and often called him Aurelius. Wouldn't you know that an Aurelius Dumbledore had been born in the year 1901. Who is said to be Dumblefuck's long lost brother. Which is bizarre considering the man's parents were both dead before the boy could have even been conceived. The child was also born a year after Dumblefuck's sister died."

"So what you're not so subtly hinting at… is the obscurial was the love spawn of Albus Dumblenutts and Grindelwald." Harry said with a groan. "That's just bloody fantastic. All because two idiots decided to bring the world into their lovers' spat. The man can't honestly think that making an obscurial will make Grindelwald forgive him. Just take the man some flowers and admit he was an idiot like a normal person."

That seemed to ease the tension in the room as multiple people snickered. Harry then narrowed his eyes at his father. "How did you get all this information anyway?"

Tom smirked. "Well… I am a Dark Lord and I have had many years of letting the man spew his for the greater good nonsense. Blaming all his Dark stunts on myself, that I had some time on my hands and a bad reputation that I used to my advantage to easily threaten people without having to do much more than threaten."

"You are very much a Slytherin. Makes more sense on why the hat wanted to put me there." Harry said with a smirk.

"Why the hell did it put you in the lion's den then!" Draco said in complete shock. Then blushed at the glare his cousin sent his way.

"Because this blonde jerk insulted the first friend I ever had. And I was manipulated to believe all Slyrherins are evil bastards." Harry replied. "And you and Snape didn't exactly change my mind."

Both Draco and Severus looked a little embarrassed by that fact. Even if it was the potions they had been under. They found their behavior horrendous.

Harry smirked over at them now. "Hogwarts will surely be interesting this year. I've actually been thinking about a resort. But I think I'll stay in the lion's den and cause some mischief."

Sirius whooped. "You won't believe how long I have waited to hear that! Marauder Jr set free in the halls of Hogwarts."

"Wait…" The twins both exclaimed. They looked at Harry, who was snickering at them and then to Sirius.

"As in…"

"The map…"

"Marauders?" They finished together. Sirius smiled with pride as Severus groaned loudly. That caused Lupin to chuckle.

"Padfoot at your service." Sirius said as he got to his feet and bowed dramatically. Lupin rolled his eyes and pulled him back down to their chair.

"James was Prongs. The rat was Wormtail. Which makes me…" Lupin said with a mischievous smile on his face. "Moony."

The twins stared at the two Marauders in complete awe. They glanced at each other then threw themselves at the older men's feet.

"We praise the ground you walk on." Fred said dramatically.

"Oh dear Marauders…"

"We owe you…"

"So much."

"We are…"

"At your mercy."

"Show us…"

"The way to greatness." The twins finished in unison. Harry burst into laughter at the look of pure pride on Sirius's face and the complete horror on Lupins. He laughed even harder when he heard Severus groan and slump lower into his chair.

"Hogwarts will never be the same with those four putting their heads together." Harry snickered. "By the way. I never thought to ask… But… What is my real name?"

Regulus smiled down at his son. "Ophiuchus Harri Riddle."

Harry raised an eyebrow. "No offense… but I'm sticking with Harry. Or Harri. I can't even think of a good nickname for Ophiuchus."

Tom snickered. "Told you."

Regulus shrugged as if he wasn't bothered by his husband or son hating the name he had chosen so many years ago. It was a star name like the rest of the Blacks. Plus no one else had used it before. He wasn't really a fan of it either. Usually calling his son Harri. Which was odd that they had ended up calling the boy Harry. Lilly must have had a sick sense of humor for that one.

The room was quite for a few minutes, while every one seemed to take in all the information that had been given. That was till Harry turned towards Tom and started to study him.

"What?" Tom asked with a slight smirk on his face.

"Lets play a game." Harry said with a sweet smile. "Called I'll name all the stupid shit that has happened to me, and you tell me if you were behind it."

Tom chuckled and nodded. "Ok… Ask away."

"Did you give Hagrid a dragon egg?"

"Hell no. that man does not need help finding dangerous creatures." Tom almost growled and Charlie chuckled.

"Is that where Norberta came from? Some one was actually stupid enough to give that man a dragon's egg?" Charlie was way more amused than what seemed necessary. Draco's jaw dropped.

"Harry, are you telling me that I hadn't been seeing things that night. You and the rest of the Golden assholes really had a dragon that night." Draco asked and groaned when Harry just smirked back at him. "Ok, I got one. Killing the unicorns in the forbidden forest."

"That is mental, why wants a cursed life for doing such a thing?" Tom said in disgust. "Wait… are you telling me that the both of you saw someone kill a unicorn in the forbiden forest. What the hell were the both of you doing in there!"

Harry shrugged. "I've actually been in the forbidden forest a few times. But yeah, we were in there for detention our first year. We saw someone drinking the blood from a unicorn. And Draco ran and screamed like a girl."

Everyone just stared at Harry in complete shock. He just shrugged. "Got saved by a Centaur. So… That was kinda cool."

Draco rolled his eyes. "What about the troll?"

Harry smacked his forehead. "I forgot about that. Had to save Hermione from the damn thing."

"Quirrell was responsible for that fiasco." Snape growled. "I'm still not happy about the damn dog."

Harry snickered. "But sir. Fluffy was just a misunderstood three headed dog. He really did like his music. Put him out like a light."

Severus groaned. "You are telling me the beast fell asleep if played music… how in the world did you figure that one out?"

Harry shrugged. "Hagrid can't keep a secret to save his life. I'm honestly surprised he was blamed for the chamber of secrets. Aragog is mostly harmless… his children on the other hand were assholes."

Tom paled at his son's words. "That thing was the size of a large cat the last time I saw it…"

"About the size of a hippogriff now. His children are closer to Fang size though. Still annoying little shits though." Harry said with another shrug. "I'd never been so glad Ron and I drove that damn car to school that year. It saved our asses."

The room was silent again. Severus rubbed at his temples. "Maybe after your father gets done answering questions. You should inform us of what all you have gotten up to the past three years. Any other dangers we should know about."

Harry blinked innocently at Severus. Then smirked. "Well… there was Norbert the dragon… The troll, Fluffy the three headed dog… almost getting bucked off my broom. Detention in the forest and getting saved by a Centaur … um… devils snare… giant wizarding chess game. Quirrell, trying to kill me. And that was my first year. Second… let's see… there was driving the flying car to Hogwarts… landing it in the whomping willow… Dobby's bludger… then Lockhart spelling away my bones…. Meeting Aragog and his children. Going down to the chamber of secrets. Killing a basilisk. I don't think I am missing anything. Oh sneaking into the slytherin common room under polyjuice potion. That was interesting…."

Harry smirked over at Draco. "Did you ever figure out whose gift that was? The one you pocketed?"

Draco looked at him confused then smacked his forehead. "I knew those two were acting odd. And no. It was only a bracelet. Not even worth anything."

Severus groaned again. "So I am guessing Ms Granger made enough for three when she showed up with a furry face, ears and a tail in your second year."

Harry instantly gave him his most innocent look. "Why sir… I have no clue what you mean."

XOXOXOX

So this has been a work in progress for way to long and way shorter than I would have liked. So I apologize for the shorter chapter. I had another story pop up in the middle of writing this and just had to get it out of my head before I could continue. The first part of this had been edited by my friend… only because I was surprised what I had come up with under the influence of the wine my mom handed to me when I got of work on Christmas eve. Yes that means I have been working on this since Christmas eve. So enough with my rant. I hope you enjoy this!
