Chapter 4: It's The Fear

"So your telling me that you think that Dumbledore was behind the supposed attack on my parents?' Harry asked

'To a point yes.' I replied. 'You see it looks like Tom was a lot more powerful than Dumbledore was and Dumbledore didn't like this one bit so he put both Tom and you Harry under the imperious curse.'

'Mia how did you figure all this out?' Dray asked 'It's not that I don't believe you its just that it's hard to get my head around.'

"Well you see.' I responded. 'Dumbledore has been doing some strange things over the past couple of years and the other day when I was in his office I noticed a few things. One of them was that the Sorting Hat told me that Dumbledore wanted me placed back in Gryffindor. He wants to be able to keep and eye on me and he also wants to make sure I don't become to powerful like Tom did.'

'So what happened to Tom when Harry killed him.' Ginny asked.

'Thats the million dollar question.' I replied. 'We only have Harry and Dumbledore's word that Harry killed Tom. There is no human still alive apart from Dumbledore and Harry here although his memories could have been moddified who can tell us what really happened. There is a house elf though who might be able to tell us. I just cant seem to get him to come to me and I am pretty sure that he should. Seeing as I am the daughter of a Black. This makes me think that Dumbledore has placed him somewhere where I can't get to him. I have to say that I don't know though how he managed to get Kreacher to pass to Harry if Sirius isn't dead.'

'I can answer that one.' Draco said. 'All that has to happen is someone has to show the elf in question a death certificate and bring witnesses with them and if the elf can't detect any magic being used in the answers being given then the elf will move on to the next person and I am pretty sure that when Dumbledore had Sirius so called killed he would have had witnesses by the plenty.'

'Hang on your telling me that all Dumbledore had to do was show Kreacher the death certificate and the memories of half a dozen or so witnesses taking the truth potion and Kreacher would believe him.' Ginny asked. 'But wouldn't Kreacher be able to feel that Sirius is still alive.'

'Even if Kreacher could I still dont think he would believe it.' I said. 'If Dumbledore is as powerfull as I think he is he would have a way around that. I have heard of people placing really strong imperius curses on other magical creatures who should normaly be able to put up some sort of defence to stop it. Also Kreacher is really old.'

The rest of the night was spent talking about how we where going to get Dumbledore to out himself. I also bought up the idea that perhaps we could have a little fun with the teachers of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardy. When I explained my idea they all jumped on it. Dumbledore had no idea what was coming his way.

I knew that for a while I would have to play a role that I thought would never happen. I was going to have to play a stupid little know it all who didn't know everything. This really went against my nature but if Dumbledore was to think that I didn't know what he was up to it was the best I could do.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that Dumbledore was going to cross a line that should never be crossed. I knew in the back of my mind that Dumbledore didn't want to continue to hide magic from muggle's and I had a strange feeling that he was going to try and use me to further his idea. You see Dumbledore was banking on me feeling strongly that muggle's should know about magic and that we should be able to help muggle's with their every day lives. He was also hopping that he could get Harry to be the Minister of Magic at some point. He just knew that he would have to wait a few years before he could put that plan into action.

As I was lying in bed that night something made me sit up and think about Harry. I had a strange feeling and I knew that the only way to test the theory was to go and wake Harry up.

'Harry I know I shouldn't be waking you up but I need to try something' I said as I sat on the edge of the bed. 'I think that some how Dumbledore has put a block on your powers. It just doesn't seem as though you are using your full power. I think that the only time you can use it is when you cast a spell that needs a lot of power. I think that perhaps if this is the case I can take the block away but at the same time mask your true potential.'

'Hang on your telling me that you think Dumbledore is messing with out powers.' Harry said with a start. 'If he has done this is there no end to his need for power?'

'I wish I was wrong but I remember reading something a few months ago about people being able to bind other peoples magic.' I said. 'On top of that I also think that he has somehow managed to tap into your power and use it himself...'

'WHAT... you have to be kidding me.' Harry replied. 'Thats just wrong. Even if he could do that he would have to be pretty evil to even try.'

'I think he has been doing it for years.' I replied. 'If I am right he started with a family member. I just don't know how he can do it over great distances.'

'Mia.' said a groggy Draco. 'As much as I know this must be eating at you you really need to go back to be and let us get some sleep.'

'Sorry Draco. I didnt mean to wake you.' I replied getting up from the bed and heading out the door.

I went back to my room. As I was climbing into bed I reaslized that I would hear the sound of a horse below my window. I got back up and walked towards the window. What I saw outside the window was not something one would expect. Standing there was a beautiful Unicorn. I had never seen one come up to a house before and as far as I knew there was only one heard in the whole of Britton so this got me a little curious. I put on my cloak and walked downstairs and out the front door. By the time I had reached the front door the Unicorn was standing there.

I could feel that something was off but I just couldnt place my finger on it. Then a voice in my head said...
