A/N: Thanks for reviews! Here's the 10th chapter of Sky and the start of the Part Two. We will have a little peek inside of Dumbles' head and there will probably be his reactions to the events in the future. I hope you like it.

Answers to some questions: Blake's family name is Mallory and yes, they are pureblood. I don't know if I'll include them in this story later on...

As for why Dumbledore didn't know Harry wasn't with the Dursleys anymore - there were no wards around the house. The only thing he did was that he sent Mrs. Figg to observe them with an order to let him know if something happens, and why she didn't will be explained in later chapters.

And why Dumbles didn't notice that Harry's name wasn't in Hogwarts books anymore - Well, he doesn't exactly pay attention to them. Hogwarts has self-updating quills that take care of any changes and writes the letters to the students.

PART TWO

August, 1991

"Shade! Marcus wants to see you. He's in his office."

Sky told Silver to continue his training on his own and left for Marcus' office. He knocked on the door and stepped in.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Ah, Sky. Yes, take a seat." Marcus said looking up from his paperwork and gestured towards the chair in front of his desk. "We have a change of plans. I have just received information from Hogwarts, that Dumbledore is setting a trap."

"A trap? What kind of trap? Sky asked.

"He has convinced Nicholas Flamel that the Philosopher's Stone is in danger and that the safest place for it is Hogwarts." Marcus said.

"And he plans to lure Voldemort to Hogwarts with it? That's just brilliant; he's even crazier than I had hoped for. And now you need me to go to Hogwarts four years early." Sky grimaced. He was already dreading the boring first-year lessons where they tried to transfigure a match into a needle. He had completed his OWLs and NEWTs when he was eight-years old – if one didn't count the years he spent in the past via time turner. It was already bad enough that he had promised to go there for his fifth year and now this! He was doomed to suffer the torture of boring lessons four years early.

"I know we agreed that you didn't have to go there until your fifth year when our current undercover agent graduates, but we need the best for this one and that happens to be you. We can't let Voldemort access the Stone."

"Fine, I'll go and hate every minute of it." Sky grumbled. "So who are you going to send to the mission in October in my place? I need to hand over the data to the new group leader."

"Well, I was thinking of sending Silver. Do you think he's up for it?"

"He has the skills, but lacks experience." Sky said nodding thoughtfully. "I'll send him for a few mock missions and include him more on the leadership part on the missions we go to before I leave. He'll be ready by October."

Sky had taken Silver under his wing from the day one and had trained him nonstop since then. It was about time he sent him to the field as a team leader. Silver reminded Sky of himself with his will to learn that made him different from the other trainees and even agents, which is why Sky had started to train him separately from the others.

"Good, now we just need to make up a new identity for you. I need to arrange the paperwork before we enroll you, in case Dumbledore makes a background check. Any preferences?" Marcus asked eyes twinkling.

"Ray Evans, born in America moved to Wales few years ago. Half-blood; mother was a muggle, who died few years ago, and a father, Matt Evans, who works in Gringotts as a curse breaker. Ryan is quiet, not very social and barely average wizard. He has been blinded by birth but can manage through normal daily routine with the help of magic." Sky said.

"You've really thought about this, haven't you? Nice job with the father's job; goblins never reveal information of their workers – not even for their colleagues, so Bill Weasley won't be a problem… What's with the blindness?" Marcus mused.

"Actually I just made that up, and the blindness is so that they will underestimate my abilities and I can sleep in class. It's also a good way of observation; nobody pays any attention to blind people and acts naturally without realizing that he or she is being watched. And I'm going to continue my training at night so I got to sleep at some time. Plus I already know everything they're going to teach, so I won't be missing really anything if I sleep in class."

"I've trained you too well." Marcus said shaking his head fondly. "So who are we going to have play Matt Evans, when needed for public appearances?"

"You mean you won't do it?" Sky asked.

"What?"

"Well, I just – I thought you would be my father as Dumbledore and the teachers know Sirius and Remus, and I don't think they can cast glamours strong enough to fool Dumbledore, and you're more like a father to me as I regard them more like uncles, and it would be more natural for me to call you dad than someone else that I don't know and you're already my guardian and…"

"Sky! You're rambling."

"Sorry." He mumbled embarrassed. He knew he was rambling, but he couldn't help it. Affairs regarding parents had always got into him as he had so mixed feelings about his own. When he was younger, he was bitter and angry when he thought about them. He had thought that the Dursleys were his parents, but then he had met Marcus, who had told him about his real parents and removed the block after which he could remember them. The most of his bitterness had vanished or moved towards Voldemort and Dumbledore, but not all of it. That was also one of the reasons that he claimed that Harry Potter was dead and that he would not be called by that name.

"You're right; it would be most natural for me to be your father. I have fooled Dumbledore before and I can fool him again."

"When are you going to enroll me to Hogwarts?" Sky asked having composed himself after his embarrassment.

"I shall write a letter to old Dumbles and arrange. It will take only few well-placed compliments to get you in." Marcus smirked. "You should take time to check your Occlumency shields and create Ray his past."

"I'll get to that tomorrow. Is there anything else?" Sky asked preparing to leave.

"No, you can go."

Sky stood and left for the door.

"Oh, one thing." Marcus said before he reached the door. "Even though you're officially on a mission, try to enjoy the last of your childhood; make friends, have fun and enjoy Hogwarts. It's really a place worth knowing regardless of its lousy headmaster."

"Sure, I'll try, but you'll tell Frank and Alice that I'm leaving." Sky said and left the room with a smirk on his face.

Marcus sighed as Sky closed the door; it was going to be a long day. Frank and Alice, who had entered the Unspeakable training after their recovery, had never really accepted that, though he was only eleven-years-old, Sky wasn't a child and hadn't really been since he was 15-months-old. In some things, like his education, he was still their friends' little boy to them. They surely would argue that Sky should go to Hogwarts as a normal student and not as an Unspeakable agent. Somehow they always managed to forget that Sky had in fact already completed his magical education and wouldn't really have to go, if he didn't want to. Nevertheless he had agreed to go there for his fifth year to replace the current agents among students, but now he had to go there for his first year.

Sky was the youngest agent ever in the troops of Unspeakables. He had started his training when he was six and had completed it in just two years – if one didn't count the two years they had been in the past. Never before, had anyone under fourteen-year old been accepted to the program. Even the spies among Hogwarts students were approached at the age of fourteen or fifteen and not any younger. But then again Sky had always been different.

Marcus himself still wished he could give Sky his lost childhood back, but he had known the moment he met him, that he had lost his innocence long time ago, and that it was impossible to get it back. That was the main reason he had taken Sky as an apprentice. He had seen the maturity in his eyes that should never show in the face of a six-year-old child. Marcus had wanted to teach him to survive and live in a hard world he had been born into. He'd also hoped that he could show him how to trust and love again, and now he felt like he had succeeded at least at some level. Though it had taken a long time, Sky trusted the people around him and wasn't tense and suspicious every time he met a new adult. Marcus thought that it was mostly due to Sirius, Remus, Alice, Frank and team Five.

Marcus had also formed a close bond with him, that was somewhere between mentor and a father. He regarded Sky in many ways as a son he never had, but didn't want to replace James Potter as his father, or Sky to think that he was some kind of replacement for Marcus' daughter and wife, who had died in the First War. Even though Sky didn't want to be called by his real name and always claimed that Harry Potter was dead, Marcus knew that he cherished the memories he had of his real parents that had appeared when all blocks were removed from him. Letting Sirius and Remus call him Harry in private told as much.

Marcus was glad that Sky regarded him as a father figure of some kind, but knew better than to push him about it. Parents had always been a difficult issue for Sky to speak and Marcus had learned along the years he had spent with him, that Sky carried some kind of bitterness towards his parents with him. He also knew that it was a matter that no one else could solve, but Sky himself.

Marcus was pulled out of his thoughts by a firm knock on his door. 'Time to face the matters at hand' he sighed and prepared himself to face the storm as he called the duo of Longbottoms in.

Albus Dumbledore was having a good day. He had convinced his old friend Nicholas Flamel that Voldemort was after the Philosopher's Stone and that the safest place for it was Hogwarts. Nicholas didn't have to know about the trap he had set for Voldemort. And the students would be quite safe; after all, it was for the Greater Good!

His trap was set, and he was sure that Voldemort would fall for it. It was also the first test for Harry Potter who was arriving for his first year, and he was looking forward to seeing how the boy had turned out. If his plan had succeeded, he would be shy and humble – perfect weapon for him to mold.

Albus was brought out of his musings by an owl that knocked his window. He took the letter from it and opened it as the owl flew to Fawkes' perch to wait for response.

Dear Headmaster Dumbledore,

My son Ray and I have moved to Wales few years ago, after the death of my wife and now has come a time when my son must receive his magical education. I am well aware of the fact that most Welsh attend the local school here, but I wish the best kind of education for my son and I've heard that Hogwarts is the best school around here. My son has been suffering from blindness since birth, but I would like him to attend Hogwarts and receive its comprehensive tutelage, if You would be so kind to take him in. You need not worry about my son's ability to keep up with classes, for he has his ways to get by without his eyesight.

Sincerely,

Matt Evans

Head Curse-breaker, Gringotts

Albus smiled as he finished reading the letter. Hogwarts' reputation had increased a lot on his time as a Headmaster and taking in a blind child would be a good chance to increase it some more. He scribbled a short agreement and sent it off along with the Hogwarts acceptance letter.

His thoughts drifted back to Harry as he thought who to send, to explain him more about the Wizarding World and take him his letter. He spent a long time pondering, but decided then that Hagrid would be the best candidate for the job. 'Hagrid is the one who took him there; he should be the one to bring him back. This is also perfect chance to give Harry his first clue…I must write the goblins a letter about the Stone.' With a smile on his face, he put a lemon drop into his mouth and started writing.

A/N: Thanks for reading. Please review and tell me what you think.

I was wondering... do you guys want me to write Dumbledore evil or good (sees the error in his way) or somewhere between, like with good intentions, but wrong means? Tell me your opinion, please. Thanks.
