The Voldemort Problem

All of you who were patient with me are the awesome-est. You guys rock my world, and you should be proud of it! I am sooooo sorry for the wait.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Percy's POV

I am extremely confused right now. What the Hades happened? This is all I understand; an evil witch and some weirdo wizard broke past the barrier and they both know Harry. What the crap? I couldn't help but notice that Malfoy wasn't present during any of this. He has got to be a suspect in something!

Chiron and Dumbledore called us all to the Mess to make an announcement. I was positive it had to do with the events at the dance. Oh, the dance! This is what happened: Dumbledore fixed the building and at Silena's request, we had our dance. That's pretty much it. Anyway, right now we were all gathered as if for a meal even though it was ten-thirty in the morning; breakfast was at eight.

Malfoy was back, and I noticed he didn't look anyone in the eye. I learned about another form of magic, Legilimency, and I'm pretty sure he was trying to prevent someone from using this form of magic on him to read his mind. Wasn't this proof that he's hiding something?

Chiron got us to quiet down by stomping his hoof on the table. Professor McGonagall flinched at the sudden shaking of the table. He and Dumbledore both had grave expressions, which was beginning to worry me. The old wizard spoke first, "We have a problem. Voldemort," some students flinched, "did not know what kind of camp we were staying at. He thought we were hiding Harry in a Muggle camp. He did not realize that we were here to help the young demigods defeat Kronos, let alone know such forces were at work. He saw the swords and knives you held, and immediately knew he needed your world on his side. He sought out Kronos and his army."

This wasn't sounding very good. Chiron finished, "Voldemort," more flinching, "found Kronos. They have formed an alliance between their two groups of darkness." Worried murmurs erupted from the campers and students alike.

"Percy?" Tyson asked me, "Are the bad man and woman from the dance going to hurt us?"

"We won't let them," I assured him. Sometimes I forgot that I was the older brother; he's much bigger than me!

"Also," people stiffened, worried that there would be more bad news as Dumbledore continued; "I would like to speak with Mr. Potter."

I glanced at Harry, and he had a confused expression on his face. Almost everyone turned to look at him, and Chiron said, "That is all." People began to rise from the tables and Harry made his way towards Dumbledore. He led Harry to the Big House. I wonder what this is all about.

Harry's POV

Dumbledore led me to the Big House. I wonder what he needed to talk to me about. He took me into a room that held the pensive from his office at Hogwarts. He motioned for me to sit in one of the chairs and sat in one himself. He studied me silently for a moment and then sighed, "Harry, I wish I had more time to tell you what I need to tell you. I was planning on doing this during the school year, but now that Voldemort has joined Kronos, it is crucial that I tell you now." He showed me many memories of Voldemort's past. (A/N let's just pretend that Slughorn willingly gave Dumbledore the real memory, not the lie) I began to understand what was going on. Voldemort had made himself Horcruxes, pieces of his soul in objects, and they were in several items. Hufflepuff's cup, Slytherin's locket, Voldemort's snake, Tom Riddle's diary, Gaunt's ring, and something of Ravenclaw's or Gryffindor's. The diary was destroyed by me, but that was it.

He also showed me places that were important to Voldemort. I'm guessing he's expecting me to find these Horcruxes and destroy them so Voldemort can finally be defeated. This was a lot of information to absorb in one day, but I think I got the gist.

Once Dumbledore was done showing me all of the memories, he said, "Only one is destroyed so far, and that is the one you destroyed with the basilisk fang – the diary. This task will not be an easy one, and you will need help. Sometimes, I won't be there to be that help. You'll need your friends, Harry, so I ask you to discuss this with Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley, but no one else unless I tell you otherwise."

"Yes, sir," I nodded.

"That is all I wish to discuss with you, Harry. You may leave."

I'm back! Sorry for the long wait; I know I finished the other story on the 26th, but this is given me writer's block. I know where it's going, though, so don't worry. I just didn't know how to introduce everything to the characters.
