Chapter 13

Halloween Night

Harry remained on the bed still angered at the idea of this impersonator claiming to be his dad.

"It just doesn't make sense. He can't be my dad." Ginny felt at a lost for words. On one hand she didn't know if this person was Harry's dad. But she didn't want to disagree with Harry. She knew that he had his reasons for not believing him and she wanted to support him. Harry knew that she was torn between herself. He did not need to be connected to her to know this. It was obvious that she didn't know what to think.

Ron entered the room to find Harry and Ginny curled up on the bed.

"So this is what you two decided to do." Ron knew that Harry and Ginny hadn't done anything but just seeing them like this after looking for them for about an hour and a half he had to poke fun at them.

Harry on the other hand didn't move. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to hit something. He needed to get out of the room away from everyone. Ginny gripped his waist a little bit harder.

"What's going on guys?" Ron had been expecting them to retaliate on him. But they didn't move or even seem to acknowledge that he was there.

"Hey guys are you ok?" Harry got up and stormed out of the room. Ron looked puzzled like he had said something wrong but didn't know what.

"Ginny did I say something wrong?"

"No Ron you didn't say anything wrong."

"Then what is wrong? Why did Harry just storm out of here like that?"

"We saw Remus today Ron. We ran into him at Hogsmeade."

"What Remus is alive?"

"No not exactly Ron you see it isn't Remus. He is James Potter."

"What?" Ron asked at the same time that Harry screamed into Ginny's head. "That isn't James Potter. It can't be my dad."

"Then Harry, why can't we see your dad in the dream enhancer? This is the only thing that I can think of that makes sense."

"No it doesn't make sense. How can it, this is another person we are talking about here Ginny. People just don't become other people."

"How do you know Harry there is a lot that you don't seem to know about. What about with Polyjuice you seemed convinced that polyjuice was what had changed him into Remus." Harry fell silent. He didn't want to talk to Ginny anymore. He didn't want to talk to anyone anymore. He raced through the castle to the front doors, pulled out his wand, summoned his broom and took flight in a matter of seconds. He headed out past the lake and flew until he felt content with the distance that he had put between him and every other living being. He was furious with the world, furious with the wizarding world at least. Harry landed out in the middle of nowhere, past the forbidden forest on a cliff side that was only recognizable to him from the train ride to Hogwarts.

Harry could here the sounds of the Great Hall in his head. The Halloween party had begun. Harry thoughts had consumed him. He was shaking with anger. He didn't want to hear the party it was unbearable. Ginny was silent and holding back tears. She wished that Harry could be there with her. Today had not worked out at all like either of them had planned. The great hall was decorated in its usual décor. Dumbledore stood up to announce that Remus Lupin had returned and that he would be joining them for the feast.

Harry had heard enough he forced himself to shut out Ginny's mind. He didn't want to hear it anymore. He couldn't take it, the noise, the fact that everyone was embracing this imposter and that somehow he had fooled Dumbledore into believing him. His heart was racing and his whole body was shaking. He could feel himself falling apart on the inside. He tried tuning it out but it wouldn't the bond was just too strong. His mind was aching and his body was convulsing in fits of hysteric rage. And then everything was silent. And Harry was left alone to think clearly and uninterrupted about the past events.

It couldn't be possible. How could they expect him believe that Remus was actually his father? Harry could only think of one thing to do. He would force him to show his true side. Over the past few months that he had been at Hogwarts he had learned how to do things he didn't know he could do. Most of this was thanks to Tonks even though they had thought that she was trying to kill them at one point. She taught them to with stand all but one of the unforgivable curses and Harry found out the other. She had also taught them a few other tricks on breaking through disguises.

Harry had mad up his mind. He was going to go into the castle and uncover who this really was. He would use the scorgere charm to force him to reveal himself. Harry mounted his broom and flew back to the castle. He decided that he was going to use his invisibility cloak to get close enough. He ran up the staircase to his room and put his broom on his bed. He opened up his trunk and searched for his cloak. It wasn't in their apparently it had been removed before hand. Harry held out his wand.

"Accio cloak." He said but nothing happened. It didn't show up. He tried again but with no luck. It just wasn't showing up. He was going to have to do this without the use of his cloak.

Harry started out down towards the great hall with the voice of the fat lady scolding him in the distance. Harry came up on the entrance to the great hall and pushed forward through the doors. The entire room looked at him as he mad his way up to the teachers table. Harry pulled out his wand and pointed it at Lupin. Three teachers made an attempt to stop him but before they could do more than stand up Harry had stopped time.

"Scorgere," Harry yelled and as the white lights from Harry's wand passed through Lupin's face Harry could see James Potter.

Harry's wand hand flown from his hand and he was thrown back as the expellarmus charm hit him. Time had begun moving as soon as he saw his dad. Lupin was his dad. He was James. Dumbledore calmed the room and picked Harry up. He walked Harry out of the room and up to his office. Harry collapsed on one of his chairs and fought back his tears. He was sure only ten minutes ago that Lupin was an imposter. Now he knew without a shadow of a doubt that he had been telling the truth.

"Harry," Dumbledore began. Harry didn't move. He kept his face in his hands.

"Harry I don't know what you where trying to pull but attacking an adult in front of the entire school was not a good idea."

"I didn't attack him. I forced him to reveal himself to me. I know that he was telling the truth now." There was a knock at the door and Lupin entered.

He looked at Harry and then at Dumbledore.

"Albus don't punish the boy this is my fault. I should have told him earlier."

"I am not going to punish the boy he didn't attack you."

"Well if it wasn't for professor Krum he would have."

"Actually he stopped everyone from doing anything long enough to find out if you where telling the truth."

"What?"

"He hit you with his spell."

Harry looked at Dumbledore amazed for almost a second until he realized who he was looking at.

There was another knock on the door. Dumbledore beckoned them in. Professor McGonnagal entered with Ginny. They both looked mad and shaken up. Ginny walked over to Harry and sat down beside him. She didn't say a word to him. Professor McGonnagal walked across the room. Her face was tightened by anger.

Harry knew that he needed to do what he did but he could have done it differently. He was just a bit mad and now he was lost. The world that he knew was falling down and this world of magic that he had been placed in 6 years ago was now starting to form over in reality. It crossed into his old world last year and now it pushes its way through his soul. His mind was white with empty thought. He couldn't see or think straight. Was all of this real? What was going on? It seemed so unreal that less than five hours ago he was with Ginny Ron and Luna drinking butter beer in the Leaky Cauldron. He had just come to terms with the fact that Lupin had died and now he had to come to terms with the fact that he had never known Lupin at all.

The room became heavy and started stirring. And what was stirring became spinning before he and Ginny hit the floor. They weight of the situation had just fallen on him and he and Ginny had passed out.

Harry woke up in a strange and dark place. He recognized this place. He had been here before, but he couldn't figure out why he was here. How did he get to this house?

"Ginny," he called out but there was no answer. There was only the cold feeling that something wasn't right. She wasn't in his head anymore and he couldn't feel her presence in the room. The high pitch shrill of laughter filled the air and his breathe was sucked from his lungs. What was happening? The air grew colder and he knew that the dementors were around. He reached for his wand but couldn't find it. It wasn't on him. Now hopeless he turned to run he needed his wand to defend himself but he couldn't find it. Harry ran for the nearest door and grabbed the frozen handle. They where very close the room was effected by its presence.

Harry opened the door and motioned to walk through it but he could not. His hand had frozen to the door. In an effort to get away he jerked his hand from the door knob ripping the skin off of the palm of his hand. Hot white pain shot up his arm and the sound of his blood hitting the floor filled the room. Now more frantic than ever to get out of this place Harry turned and came face to face with a cloaked figure with their wand raised.

Harry woke up still on the floor of Dumbledore's office His scar burned into his scalp. Ginny laid there beside him. She was whiter than normal and looked a bit shaken up. She noticed Harry looking at him and tried to hide behind a false smile. He shrugged it off he would ask her about it later. Dumbledore started in with his questions trying to find out if they where ok. They told him that they were ok it was just the gravity of the situation at hand that got to him, after all Harry now had his father.

Dumbledore knew that Harry wasn't revealing everything to him but decided that he trusted him and that he would let him know when he was ready. He excused them.

Harry got off of the floor and walked out of Dumbledore's office with Ginny. They started off towards the Great Hall when Professor McGonagal stopped them.

"Harry," she started, "You need to return to your Common room. There is food up there but you must understand that you attacked someone tonight. I can't allow you to return to the festival. Ginny you may join him if you wish but you are free to return to the Great Hall."

Harry looked over at Ginny and realized that he hadn't been connected to her since they passed out. He noticed that she looked a bit nervous but also looked a bit apprehensive. Harry knew that she wanted to stay with him but also wanted to be around her friends. She was still mad at him for this afternoon and he wasn't sure what she wanted to do.

"Ginny it's alright you can go back to the Great Hall."

"No I am going up to the common room with you."

Harry didn't need to be told twice so they walked back up to the common room. Ginny was still very distant. She just didn't fell like talking to him.

They walked to the common room without saying another word to each other. When Harry entered the common room there was food that was brought up from the Great Hall. Ginny sat down on one side of the table still looking as distant as ever. She seemed to want to say something, like she was going over it in her head trying to phrase it right. She just sat there staring at the food in front of her.

"Ginny what's wrong?"

Ginny looked up at Harry and smiled as if she had forgotten that he was even in the room. This had always made Harry's hair stand on end at the same time he melted in his seat.

"Ginny come on you can tell me."

Ginny continued to smile at him.

"Harry lets eat I am hungry." Harry tried to ask again but she had already started to stack her plate with food set in front of them. She went back to her silent mode. Harry had never seen this with her even when she was to shy to speak to him during his second year.

"Ginny," Harry started but Ginny interrupted telling him to eat and that she was too hungry to talk right now. Harry gave in and started to fill his plate with an assortment of meat pies and sandwiches. Harry was pretty hungry since he hadn't eaten since lunch this afternoon. Ginny chuckled to herself and Harry looked at her.

"What?"

"Oh it's nothing really."

"What?"

"Well I realized that we are kind of on a date in our common room."

Harry looked around and noticed that the room was empty and the set up was kind of like they were on a date. Harry waved his wand and conjured up some candles to fit the mood. Ginny started to giggle again. This was unlike her in almost every way that Harry had known her. She had always been a bit giggly but never for no reason.

He looked at her with some suspicion. She told him not to worry about it that every thing was alright. Harry didn't believe her. He knew that something was wrong but he could tell what it was. He knew that he was being too vain to think that it was about this afternoon. She wouldn't be this weird or distant if that where the case. She had kept her distance from him since she had woken up from the dream she had.

Harry thought back to his dream it was weird. But at the same time it felt so familiar. Maybe what was bothering Ginny was her dream. Harry looked at her and began to tell her about his dream. Maybe if he talked about his dream it would pull her closer to him. He told her about how he knew the place and how he couldn't find his wand and then the figure in black.

Ginny looked at him. All the color in her face was gone. The silence in the room was interrupted by the portrait opening and in walking Hermione, Ron, and Luna.

"We thought that we would find you two here." Ron said. Harry looked up at him a smiled. Ginny forced a laugh and pretended everything was alright. Before either of them could speak Hermione started in on Harry.

"Harry are you crazy, you attacked a guest to Hogwarts?"

"I didn't attack him. I forced him to reveal himself to me. Hermione I forced my dad to show himself."

"Well it sure looked like you tried to attack him if Viktor hadn't stopped you who knows what you would have done?"

"Hermione I didn't attack him I forced him to reveal himself and Professor Krum only hit me with an expeliarmus charm after I was done. I had stopped time."

Hermione looked at Harry a bit worried with what he had said. Ron had just let what he had heard register in his head.

"So your dad is alive?"

"Yes he is alive. We all met him as Professor Lupin."

Hermione's attention had diverted to Ginny while Ron and Harry were talking and they had disappeared out of the room up to the girls dormitories.

"What was that about?" Ron asked

"I don't know."

Ron looked back towards the girls dormitories with a worried expression. Luna grabbed him by the waist and made him jump. He had been dating her for almost a month now and she had a knack for startling him. Harry grinned at him. Harry sat on the couch and continued his conversation with Ron talking about how odd it felt that he had his dad back.

Hermione walked back down the stairs and sat on the couch next to Harry. She didn't say a word to either of them. Harry looked at her and then asked were Ginny was.

"She's going to bed. She has had a long day and needs some sleep."

Harry looked at Hermione. He knew that something was wrong. The portrait opened and the rest of the Gryffindors had started to enter the room.

"I should probably get back," Luna said to Ron.

"I'll walk with you."

Ron and Luna walked out of the dorms, which was now filled with everyone talking around them. Every group that had formed in the common room kept glancing at Harry. He knew that they all where talking about how he had attacked Remus. Harry didn't care too much about it. He knew that he was going to hear about it for the next few weeks. Harry leaned over and asked Hermione what was wrong with Ginny but she just insisted that Ginny would tell him when she was ready. Harry got up and left the room. He wasn't really mad at Hermione but he was annoyed that he couldn't talk to his girlfriend.

Harry changed for bed. He felt exhausted from the mental stress that happened today. Harry laid down and fell asleep.

He was back in the same room that he was in earlier. His hand hurt from the door knob. He was racing around frantic to find away out of this place. He turned around and a figure in a black hood was standing in front of him pointing their wand at him. Harry jumped back and noticed that the wand wasn't pointing at him that the figure in black had extended Harry's wand towards him so he could get it back. Harry approached the hooded figure. Who are you? Ginny pulled back her hood. Tears lined her face. She handed his wand to him. She opened her mouth as to speak. She couldn't say what was on her mind. She kept mouthing "I'm sorry". Harry didn't know what for.

In the back ground he heard her voice screaming for him. Harry listened to where it was coming from. He could hear it all over the room.

Harry sat up in his bed. He could still hear Ginny calling for him in his head and realized that she was calling him from her dream. Harry spoke back to her. She calmed down a bit when she heard his voice. Harry could feel her wake up in his head. She was in tears.

"Harry can you come down stairs," Ginny asked.

"Sure," he said.

Harry walked downstairs and sat on the couch. The room was quiet now. It was late in the morning and everyone had gone off to bed a while ago. Ginny came walking down stairs and sat next to him on the couch.

"Harry," She began.
