Arashi: Thanks for the favs and reviews so far. Lets get start to the fic. Disclaimer is on the previous chap.Btw… I just realized this, but just so you know: no one knows that the Darknights are involved with the Dark Lord except for the Death Eaters (not the DE children-except Draco).

Ch 6: Truth

Ridire cursed and dodged the silvery spell that was shot at him. He continued to dodge and block curses. Suddenly one got through his defenses. He fell to the ground as metal robes rendered him immobile. He glared up at his captor. The man grinned down at him.

"You need to work on your dueling."

Ridire huffed. "I know. Now, let me out."

The man grinned. "Let yourself out."

"Moony!"

"Well?"

Ridire growled. He then looked over at Sirius. "Help me out, Padfoot."

"Sorry, cub, you need to do it yourself."

"You two are evil."

"We know we are. Not get yourself out of that."

Ridire started grumbling, but tried nonetheless. He got frustrated. He snapped at the metal cords, "Get off!"

To his surprise they did. Moony raised an eyebrow. "Well, that's different."

Ridire grinned sheepishly and stood up. "Oops, lost control of my magic for a sec there."

"I can see that. Now, can you throw off the Imperious curse?"

"Yes."

"Well, lets make sure. Imperio!"

The blue spell hit Ridire. He only grinned. "Losing your touch, Moony?"

Remus rolled his eyes. "How is your resistance to Crucio?"

"Pretty good."

"Sirius, if you would?"

Sirius stepped closer to Ridire. "Crucio!"

Ridire gritted his teeth but remained standing. Sirius released it after a few minutes. Ridire panted a bit.

Suddenly both Remus and Sirius grabbed there left forearms. They turned to Ridire. "We got to go, cub. Tell Dumbledore that we have to do some things and we won't be at the castle for a while."

"Alright. I'll see you later."

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Harry cursed and quickly ran out of the room. He shut the door and locked it. He panted

for a moment and tried to slow his racing heart. Why was that thing in Hogwarts! He sighed angrily. Well at least now he knew why the third floor was off limits.

He smoothed out his robes and made his way down to the dungeons. He now knew were the Sorcerer's Stone is hidden. Now he was faced with the issue of getting past the Cerberus. Maybe the oaf of a gamekeeper knew.

Harry was startled when someone jumped on him when he reached the Slytherin Common room. He pushed the person away and drew a dagger. He pressed the dagger into his attacker's throat until he saw who it was. He released the person. "Never do that again, Draco! I could've killed you!"

"Believe me, I won't be doing that again!" His eyes were wide in fright.

Harry pulled him into a hug. "Sorry, Dray, I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay, Ri."

"Why did you attack me though?"

"I've been looking for you all day! Where were you?"

"Exploring."

"Without me?"

"We don't have to go everywhere together, Dray."

Harry was about to reply when someone walked into the Common room. It was Professor Snape. Draco and Harry pulled apart. "Do you need something, Professor?"

"You are needed in the headmaster's office, Harry. Come along."

"Did the headmaster say why?"

"No, but Potter is there."

Harry snarled. "What does he want now?"

Snape did not answer. He led Harry to Dumbledore's office.

When there Harry ignored James. "You wished to speak with me, Headmaster?"

"Yes, Harry. This concerns your disownment."

"I see. Can you please have Damien and Tayla Darknight come?"

"May I ask why?"

"You may, but I can't answer that at the moment."

"Very well. Severus, if you will?"

Severus frowned thoughtfully at Harry, but did so anyways. Minutes later Tayla and

Damien were in the office too. Tayla turned to Dumbledore. "Headmaster?"

"Harry here wanted you here. I was going to discuss his disownment with him."

Tayla turned to Harry. "Harry?"

Harry new the hidden question. Did he want Dumbledore know about the magical adoption? Harry nodded.

-Severus' POV-

Why are the Darknight's here? How did Harry know them? Does he know that they are Death Eaters? Not that I would betray them, but how much does he know? Tayla seems to be asking him a question. The rest of us look on in confusion wile Damien and Harry seem to understand. He nods. What is going on?

-Normal POV-

Tayla smiles. "If that is what you want then okay."

Harry nods again. "It is."

Dumbledore speaks up. "What is going on, Mrs. Darknight?"

Tayla sighed. "Many years ago I meet Harry. I became very close to him. He didn't like his parents very much so Damien and performed a magical adoption on his fifth birthday. We kept it hidden for reasons we do not wish to provide you with. His real name is Ridire Sirius Darknight."

-Severus' POV-

I was mentally sputtering in shock. Before me stood the heir of my Lord! I felt like fainting. The ex-son of my enemy was now the blood-adopted heir of my Master! I needed a stiff drink when I got back to my chambers. I also needed to talk to my young Master.

-Normal POV-

Dumbledore was not hiding his shock. James was glaring angrily at the Darknights. "You shouldn't have hidden it! You could've taken the brat of my hands then!"

Damien growled and slammed James against the wall. He held him there and snarled. "It would do you well not to insult my son, Potter."

James gulped. While no one knew that the Darknights were Death Eaters, including James, everyone knew that they were half-demons. It would not bode well for James to anger the half-demon. He nodded nervously. Damien released him and James crumpled to the floor.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Har- Ridire, I am sure that you do not actually look like that. Would you please release your Glamours?"

Harry nodded and dropped the spells. "Will I remain Harry, Headmaster, or should I become Ridire?"

Dumbledore turned to Tayla and Damien. "It is up to you."

They exchanged glances. Tayla was silent for a moment before saying; "I would like to acknowledge him as my son."

Dumbledore nodded. "Very well. I will inform the rest of the school tomorrow at breakfast. You may go."

James Flooed out and Severus returned to his chambers to get the stiff drink he needed. Ridire replaced his Glamours for the moment. He and his parents then went to talk to his Grandfather. They needed to tell him about what was happening.

-Next day at breakfast-

Harry sat at the Slytherin Table. His parents were sitting at the Head Table. He was eating his breakfast waiting for the old coot to make his announcement. He couldn't wait to finally be the real him again.

Dumbledore stood up. He got the student's attentions. "One of the students among you has been adopted. Please congratulate the new son of Tayla and Damien Darknight, Harry Potter, now known as Ridire Darknight!"

Harry dropped his Glamours when the students turned to look at him. Draco smiled. "You can finally be the real you, Ridire!"

Ridire grinned. "Yeah! It's great! I am finally me!"
