Chapter 6

"Albus please I have to do this"

"I would advise against it Molly"

"It's my daughter's fault he's like this Albus please, I must apologize for her"

"Albus I think he's waking up" came Tonks's voice cutting off any further discussion

Slowly sitting up Harry tiredly notices the people disturbing his rest

"How are you feeling Harry?" asked Tonks

"Tired, what happened?"

"I'm afraid …" started Albus

"I'm so sorry Harry; Ginny wasn't thinking when she did it, please forgive her" came the hurried response for Molly Weasley as she tried holding off her tears and failing

"Are you sure it's ok for her to explain this now? After what happened before in the gym…"

"It should be fine Ms Tonks, with the amount of potions he's consumed I doubt he cause any harm" whispered Albus and Tonks.

"That's enough Molly he needs his rest you should head home as well, ms Tonks if you could accompany her" Dumbledore spoke up, believing it will be easier to explain without the distraught Mrs Weasley.

After Tonks and Mrs Weasley left the room to the safety of the burrow, Albus slowly turned back to Harry

"I guess it would be safe to continue now" Albus said waiting long enough for a small nod from Harry

"Sir …what… happened?" Harry asked tiredly, trying his hardest to fight the sleepy effect the many different potions were having on him

"I'm afraid for some time you've been under the influence of what appeared to be an infatuation philtre…a love potion Harry, the potion in question is borderline dark as it works similarly to the impervious potion and has a dangerous side effect should it fail"

Harry tried to listen to Albus's explanation and fight the sleep that was slowly consuming him however he was failing, catching the last parts about poisons and too many intrusions for the one mind he finally gave in to rest

"Oh, that's nice" he said before sleep took him.

It was late that night, some several hours later that the residents of 12 Grimmauld place were awoken by a magical explosion shaking the walls and the very angry voice of one Harry James Potter filling the air,

"SHE DID WHAT!"

"What the bloody hell was that?" Tonks questioned tiredly to no-one in particular, just awoken from a most pleasant dream now long forgotten she quickly put on a dressing gown to cover her long baggy shirt she wore to bed before sticking her head out of her room at number 12 just in time to see Albus and mad-eye run up the stairs as fast as they could

"Nymphadora! Quickly, seal all the doors and exits to the house including floo travel the wards should prevent Apparation, Alastor follow me we must apprehend young Harry before he massacres the Weasley's"

Auror instincts kicking in Tonks got straight to work as Albus and Alastor moody went in search of Harry, reaching Harry's new room on the 3rd floor they noticed the now large smoking remains of the wall where the door once stood

"Bloody hell Albus just what did they do to the boy?"

"Not now Alastor, we must find him before he leaves the wards. Do you see where he went?"

"End of the hall Albus behind the suit of armour is a spiralling stair case leading to some tunnels under the kitchen he's almost at the bottom"

"Fawkes!"

In a flash of fire Fawkes appeared on Albus's shoulder

"Fawkes we must reach the end of the tunnel before Harry does please transport us there quickly"

with a quick thrill from Fawkes there was another flash of fire and they landed in a dark damp tunnel with old torches lining stone walls similar to the dungeons of Hogwarts, just behind them stood the stairs leading up out of the tunnel outside the wards and just ahead of them stood what appeared to be Harry, as he approached closer Albus could now make out the changes that Tonks had spoken of earlier and was not surprised she had felt a great deal of fear, he himself could feel the darkness rolling off the boy and the power he possessed, his eyes once emerald green, now a very dark red even darker then they had been when Tonks had seen him, there appeared to be a slight green glow behind them that just promised pain to any who stand in his way, and then there was that dark grey aura that surrounded him, for the first time in many years Albus was afraid, Fawkes gave off a noise similar to an angry cry towards Harry warning him to back off

"Move aside Albus, Moody, my fight is not with you"

"We can't do that lad" said moody holding his wand at the ready, no less then a dozen curses on the tip of his tongue.

"Please Harry, you are still suffering from the effects of the potions you need rest, come back upstairs and in the morning I will explain everything, you don't know the full story"

"I know enough Albus, move aside now!"

"We can't let you harm the Weasley's lad"

"Please Harry; don't do something you'll regret later" Albus pleaded

"Fine" Harry said as a large black ball of flames appeared in his hands "if you won't move, I'll move you myself" with that he threw the large black ball of fire at Albus, with an angry cry Fawkes flew into the air and a golden shield appeared around both Albus and moody before the very angry phoenix charged and attacked Harry.

With Harry's attention on fending off the irate phoenix moody wasted no time in firing off three stunners which all dissipated in mid-air where they collided with a shield of Harry's own, in retaliation Harry threw off another ball of black flame before turning back to his fight with Fawkes.

"Dame it lad this is for your own good… Crucio, Stupefy, Stupefy!" moody shouted

Harry was too distracted to notice the curses before it was too late, the Cruciatus Curse shattered Harry's shields and made Him drop to his knees in pain before the two stunning spells knocked him into unconsciousness.

"Quickly Alastor I don't feel those spells will hold him for long" Albus stated as he grabbed a hold of both Fawkes and Harry's stunned body, gesturing for moody to take his hand, and with a flash of phoenix fire Fawkes returned them to Harry's room to recover.

"I'll call poppy Alastor, you watch the boy in case he starts to awake, we can't take any chances, should he start stirring stun him immediately"

"Surly that won't be necessary Albus I hit him with two strong stunners and a Cruciatus curse, most adults would wake for hours from an attack like that"

"Yes but as you may have guessed Alastor, young Harry here is not like other wizards, be it his age or older… his power is amazing high, even in my prime I could barely reach his level of power we felt just now, and I have to admit it, what we just witnessed scared me, we can't take ANY chances"

"You can't mean to tell me the child is as strong as you were Albus?"

"No Alastor he's stronger… something is awakening in Harry and this power is part of it, I believe he will only get stronger…. I just hope that this outburst of his was a side effect of the potions and he can control these new powers before they can consume him" with that Albus left the room to call poppy leaving a very paranoid moody to stun Harry for the slightest twitch.

Quickly as he could Albus floo-called Madam Pomfrey, being the summer holidays and the middle of the night the elderly matron was found at her manor in Devon "what can I do for you Albus?"

"Poppy, we are in need of your assistance, Mr Potter has had a bad reaction to the poisons in his system and I would like to administer enough dreamless sleep potions to keep him asleep long enough for it to be treated fully"

"Albus you can't be implying he has awoken already I administered enough potions to keep him in bed for 3 days, anymore and he may not wake up for over a week if not longer"

"I afraid that is a chance I am willing to take, he is in a very volatile condition at the moment, it took the combined efforts of me Alastor and even Fawkes to stun him and stop him from causing harm to himself and others"

"If that's the case I'll be right over, the boy needs rest whether he likes it or not" she said before stepping through the floo and checking up on her most frequent patient.

"there that should do it, he maybe out of it for up to a week but he should at least be up and about in two to three days, call me if there's any problems" Poppy said as she finished treating Harry for the second time that day before returning home.

Two days later a sleepy Harry Potter made his way down the stairs of Grimmauld

Place into the kitchen where Albus Dumbledore was already waiting for him.

"morning Harry, and how are you feeling today?"

"A lot better, thank you professor… professor what happened?"

"What do you remember Harry?"

"Not much, I was practising Occlumency with Tonks when I had a vision, but after that it's a bit of a blur"

"What happened in your vision Harry?" asked Albus with a hint of concern both for the memory lapse of his previous explanation and the weird experience from the following night.

"It was a death-eater meeting; they were all called to punish someone… I think it was Draco Malfoy sir"

"Do you remember why he was being punished Harry?"

"Voldemolt was angry with him, he knew Draco failed his mission at killing you, he was angry at both Snape and Draco for his failure"

"Yes I was under the impression that it was all a setup to punish the Malfoy family for Lucius's past failures…please continue Harry"

"All the death-eaters took turns using many different curses and hexes, finally Voldemolt took his turn with a Crucio I blacked out after that, I could feel the curse as if it was aimed at me"

"I'm sorry you had to remember that Harry, that did answer a few of my suspicions though, do you remember anything after you awoke Harry?"

"Not much just bits and pieces. Sir what happened to me, why did I pass out this time, why do I feel like I feel off the knight bus?"

"I think it would be best if we started from the beginning, please try not to interrupt or jump to any concussions before I finish Harry"

"Ok sir"

"For many months now Harry you have been under the effects of a borderline dark love potion, the potion in question was the xen tu ogilid, it is a potion that behaves more like the impervious potion then its more famous cousin Amortentia, it is because of that along with some dangerous side effects that this potion is borderline dark… the xen tu ogilid potion is weaker in strength then Amortentia but as a precaution should it fail it slowly poisons its victim while lowering any mental shielding such as Occlumency so the brewer many regain control over their victim"

"But that would mean that… GINNY DID THAT TO ME!" Harry said standing up, remembering Molly Weasley's confession from the other day, rage was clear in his green eyes.

"HARRY SIT DOWN, you said you would listen and wait for me to finish, only after you have heard all the facts will I allow you to leave this room" Albus said in a very intimidating voice, with a wave of his hand all the doors of the room locked clearly charmed previously in-case he reacted like this.

"Why didn't anyone tell me, how long has it been going on?" Harry asked angrily

"Harry please understand, the xen tu ogilid is a very old potion found in many ancient pure-blooded family libraries, the reason no-one told you is because no one knew, unlike other infatuation philtres xen tu ogilid must be used over a period of time to work, the process takes many weeks and numerous doses during which time it appears the victim is slowly developing feeling for the brewer"

"But why did she do it to me?" Harry asked almost desperately

"I'm afraid that young Ginevra made a very grievous error out of desperation… only she can tell you everything however I can assure you she had no intentions to harm you Harry… she made a mistake and never knew of the darker elements of that potion" by the end of Albus's explanation Harry had already broken down crying, to learn his feeling were all a lie and a member of his adopted family betrayed him was very painful.

Albus embraced the broken Harry in a grandfatherly hug to reassure him that it would be ok, to see the boy he considered his own grandchild hurt in such a way broke the old mans heart, after several minuets Harry and Albus recovered enough to continue.

"Is the potion completely removed sir" Harry asked finally

"Yes Harry, you may still feel a slight dizziness as an after effect of the antidote, as for your feeling towards young Ginevra Weasley will be confused for a while but you will recover" Albus said with a slight smile, reassuring Harry enough to give a weak smile back in thanks.

"Now come get something to eat then head back to bed Harry, we don't want Poppy angry with me and you will need your rest" he said as he stood up to leave the room unlocking the doors as he did so 'he needs rest for now, he's been through too much already' Albus thought to himself as he left to find Tonks and Alastor moody.

Albus informed them of his decision to not tell Harry of the transformation they had all witnessed until he had recovered from the potion fully, no one had the heart to burden the boy after what he had been through however they were to keep an eye on him in case it happened again.
