The list that came up, was quite long, and I didn't like any of it.

Additions to Bearer
Horcrux (Tom Morvallo Riddle)
I had a headache. I rubbed my forehead, looking at the parchment. "Iron paw, what does all this mean?" I asked.
The goblin looked very grave. "This is far more serious than I first thought that it could be. Dumbledore has placed a block on the majority of your powers and abilities, and attempted to tie your loyalty to him. You should be able to have visions of the future, have multiple Animagus forms, and be able to turn into them like it was second nature to you. You should also be able to understand all animals, and be a Metamorphmagus. You are only able to access forty percent of your magic, and your creature blood on your father's side of your family has been blocked. By now, you should have the attributes of a vampire, as well as your feral abilities from your mothers side of your family. Then there is the compulsion and loyalty charms. These were placed to ensure your loyalty to Dumbledore. Then there is the most serious block that Dumbledore has placed on you. That is the block that prevents you from forming a bond between you and your soul mate. This can cause the bearer to become rash, to just run into things without thinking of the consequences, and would have prevented you from thinking clearly in even the most ordinary of situations."
"And the final thing? Placed by this Riddle guy?" Victor growled out.
"Ah yes. The so called, self styled 'Lord Voldemort'. A Horcrux is an extremely dark piece of magic. A Horcrux is created when a witch or wizard tears their soul through the act of murder. Then, they place the soul fragment into an item, so that if the creator should be killed, they are able to return. I do believe that this Horcrux was made unintentionally, or he would not keep trying to kill you. That indicates that he has made more than the one you are playing host to."
I was shaking. "I want it out of me. I want all the blocks removed. I don't care if I have to spend every last Knut that I have, I want them all gone. I don't want a part of his soul in me." My shaking increased, and I felt arms wrap round me, and pull me into an embrace.
"Shh cub, everything's going to be fine, we'll get rid of it, and all the other blocks." Remus said softly.
"Can you get rid of all that," I saw Victor gesture at the list, "from my granddaughter?" There was a snapping sound, and I could see that the arm rests of his chair were being ground to dust.
"Fortunately, the goblin nation has a way to get rid of it all, and to the Potter account, the price would mean nothing. It would be like a single knut to one of the less well off Pureblood families. The rituals can be set up by tomorrow, if you wish."
I nodded. "But, where should I stay until then?" I asked.
"You have many properties that you could go to. I remember one that your parents seemed particularly fond of, a house in North Wales. I could create a portkey if you wish. It is behind some heavy protective enchantments, you should be safe there."
"That sounds great." Remus said. He looked to Victor and Logan. "Will you be coming as well?" He asked.
"Yes." They answered in union.
"Very well." Iron paw said. He pulled out an ornate bookmark from inside his desk, chanted an incantation, and handed it to me, across the desk. I took it shakily. Remus placed a finger on the bookmark, and indicated for Victor and Logan to copy him. They did, and soon, the portkey started to glow blue, and I felt the normal jerk behind the naval.
When my feet hit solid ground, I was about to fall over, when I was caught and steadied by a strong pair of arms. I looked up to see Logan. "Thanks." I said, pulling away.
"No problem kid." He said. I could see the concern in his eyes, and the gleam of gold. I guess Ferals were a lot like werewolves then.
On the other hand, Victor's previously blue eyes were gold. And he was growling. "Where can I find those bastards? And if Lilly's not dead, where the hell is she?" he growled.
"I think we should sit down, and talk. Maybe I can explain some answers, but not all." Remus said wearily. "Now, if I remember correctly, the living room is this way." And with that, Moony lead us into the living room.
It was decorated slightly like the Gryffindor common room, in reds and gold's, with comfortable chairs and sofas and a few coffee tables. I sat down and curled up on a sofa, and Victor sat next to me. Remus and Logan both sat in two of the armchairs.
"Where to start." Remus said.
"The war, maybe?" I suggested.
"Good idea cub." Remus said. "Several years ago, a very powerful dark wizard started up a war in the wizarding world. He believed that the so called 'pure bloods' were the only ones worthy to practise magic, half bloods being a close second. Innocents were tortured and killed, and it seemed that the war would be lost. But then, a prophecy was heard, detailing the one with the power to be able to defeat the Dark Lord, but he only heard apart of it. He decided, that the child of the prophecy was Hathor. He went to Godrics Hollow, where they were hiding."
"I'll take it from here Moony." I said. He looked at me sharply.
"Are you sure?"
"Perfectly. The side affects of the Dementors from third year mean I remember it all. I was one at the time. It was Halloween. When he crossed the property lines, dad knew. He told mum 'he's here. Take Hathor and run.' He fought Voldemort, but was killed. When Voldemort reached the room mum and I were in, he told her to step aside. She begged him to have mercy. She begged him to take her life instead, and leave me. He shot the killing curse at her, and she died, well, supposedly. Then he turned his wand on me. I can remember his laugh, and the words. Avada Kedavra. Then the green light. But the spell rebounded, and destroyed his body. He was thrown from his body, little more than a spirit. And then Dumbledore placed me with the Dursley's." I then went on to explain life at the Dursleys, and my first five years at Hogwarts. I barely held back my tears as I told of Sirius' death, and could see Remus was struggling as well. "All of it. Every thing that happened in my years of Hogwarts seems too… well timed. It was all a set up. It has to be. And there's only one person with the ability to set it all up. Even Sirius' death."
"Dumbledore." Victor growled. "He's trying to turn you into a weapon."
"Yes he is." I said.
"Like hell is that going to happen while I'm around." Victor said. "Once these blocks are removed from you and we find out whether your mother's alive or not, and if she is we'll get her out, you are coming with me. No one's turning my grand cub into a weapon. I'll train you myself so you can watch your back, and if you loose that wand of yours, you aren't helpless."
"Thank you." I said, smiling at him. I felt… accepted.
"Hathor, do you have the Marauders map on you?" Remus asked.
"Yes, why?"
Just a hunch I have." He said, and he held his hand out.
"What's the Marauder's map?" Logan asked.
"A map that I helped design in school. It's a map of Hogwarts, and it shows the position of everyone in the building." Remus answered as I fished the map out of my bag. I handed it to him.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Remus said with his wand on the parchment. The words, Messer's Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, proudly present The Marauders Map.
Then, the whole layout of Hogwarts appeared on the open parchment, and so did the few remaining people in Hogwarts. I looked to the Dungeons area, just in time to see Dumbledore disappear off the map.
"There Moony! The meddling old coot just did a disappearing act!" I said.
Remus placed his wand on the spot I was pointing at. "Revielo." He said.
A whole new corridor appeared on the map, and spiralled, leading to a small room. In it were two names. One was Albus Dumbledore. The other, was Lilly Potter. Under my mother's name, were two bracketed words. Enchanted sleep.
There was a tearing sound, and I looked round to see that Victor had ripped up a whole lot of sofa. "He's keeping my cub in some sort of coma?" he growled.
"It seems so." Remus said. "Mischief managed." The map disappeared, leaving a blank piece of parchment once again. "This just got harder." Remus said. "We have to break into Hogwarts."
"Hopefully I'll get the chance to gut Dumbledore." Victor said, with a feral grin.
