Professor McGonagall opened the door and ushered in the first years. She led them into the entrance hall and gave her usual welcome speech. Everyone stood nervously as they waited for Professor McGonagall to return. When she did, the sorting went exactly like it did in Harry's dream. When it was Harry's turn, he listened as the hat said the same thing as his dream, except that this time the hat added, "You want to be where your parents were so GRYFFINDOR!"
Harry sat quietly for the rest of the sorting (except for cheering for Ron) and listened to Dumbledore's nonsense words. As soon as the food was served, Harry decided it was time to act. He had practiced several simple spells over the summer to make sure he remembered how to do them from his dream, but he didn't try them on any actual people so he was pretty nervous. He had practiced occlumency to make sure Voldermort didn't realize what he was doing.
Harry pulled out his wand and whispered, "Accio Quirrell's turban!"
As soon as the turban came to him, Harry stunned Quirrell. He knew he had to act fast and make sure the teachers saw the back of Quirrell's head, so he did levicorpus, and when he let Quirrell back down, he landed face down. He quickly immobilized Quirrell and had him bound in ropes before he made his way to the head table where the teachers were looking back and forth between Harry and Quirrell astonished.
"That's Voldermort," Harry said quietly when he reached the head table.
"How did you know?" asked Professor Dumbledore.
"Do you know why Voldermort didn't die when the killing curse hit him?" Harry asked.
He had already decided that telling anyone about the dream may result in him not being believed, but since Dumbledore knew about the horcrux, (at least in year number six,) Harry felt this was the best way to go. After all, he was probably the first human horcrux. There's no way anyone would know how powerful the horcrux was at the time, so he could easily make it more powerful than it is, and he now had some occlumency to cover his lies.
"I have my suspicions," Dumbledore said.
"Well," Harry explained carefully, "The thing that Voldermort made to keep him alive, he purposely made five of them. When the curse hit him, he accidently turned me into a sixth one. As a result, I have occasional access to his thoughts, feelings, and memories."
"Interesting," Dumbledore said. "I will want to discuss it privately with you after the feast."
"What should we do about him?" Harry asked pointing to the unconscious Voldermort.
"That was some fancy spell work for a first year," Dumbledore complimented him. "How did you learn all those spells?"
"I read some when I was at Flourish and Blotts," Harry told him. He turned to Hagrid.
"Why didn't you let me buy all those books?" he asked.
"If you would have just bought the books, I wouldn't have stopped you," said Hagrid, "But you were reading them in the store. I had to get you home at a reasonable time."
"I had to see if they were on a good level for me," Harry said.
"Those books you picked were too hard for a first year," Hagrid told him. "What do you need occlumency for?"
"To block Voldermort's thoughts from my mind," Harry told him.
"When I saw you reading the book about Curses and Countercurses, I assumed you wanted to hex your horrible cousin," Hagrid explained.
"I wanted to see what could be used against Voldermort," Harry told him.
"Why did you look at New and Upcoming Potions?" Hagrid asked.
"I wanted to see what it was," Harry explained. "I'm sure many people's lives could be made easier if they had access to the potions they needed, but the potions I saw there were too hard for me to try. I wouldn't have bought it."
"I was shocked at the next book you found," Hagrid said. "Just the title itself has dark magic in it. I don't know what a book like that was doing in Flourish and Blotts. Once you picked up a dark magic book, I had to get you out of the store as fast as possible."
"Actually," Harry explained, "Destroying a horcrux isn't dark magic. Making one is. I wanted to know how to destroy it."
"There was a book about horcruxes in Flourish and Blotts?" asked Professor Dumbledore. "That's very strange. It's such dark magic that there are very few books about the subject available to the public. I understand why you wanted it though."
Dumbledore looked at Quirrell with Voldermort's face and added a few spells to keep him unconscious and immobile.
"I'll let the minister of magic know that we have Voldermort here," Dumbledore said.
"There's also a death eater here," Harry told him. "The person who betrayed my parents to Voldermort is in the great hall now, disguised as a rat."
"Sirius is in Azkaban, the wizard jail," Dumbledore said.
"Sirius is innocent," Harry said confidently. "Peter is in Ron Weasley's pocket."
"How do you know?" asked Dumbledore.
"I recognized him," Harry said.
"Peter isn't an animagus," Dumbledore argued.
"Actually, my dad and his close friends decided to become animagi together. My dad was a stag; his nickname was Prongs. Sirius was a dog; his nickname was Padfoot. Peter was a rat; his nickname was Wormtail. Remus's nickname was Moony. I don't think he was an animagus as he never transformed in front of me," Harry said.
"If you bring me the rat, I could find out if you're correct," Dumbledore said.
Harry walked back to the Gryffindor table.
"That was cool," one of the Weasley twins told Harry. (Harry doubted he would ever be able to tell them apart.)
"Are you in trouble?" Ron asked.
"That man I attacked was Voldermort," Harry explained.
"Could you stop saying his name?" complained Ron.
"I want to show you something," Harry told him.
The two boys walked over the head table. Harry walked Ron to where Voldermort was lying.
"Look," Harry told him. "I am saying Voldermort right next to him and he can't do anything. There is no reason to be scared to say Voldermort."
"Why can't you just call him you-know-who?" asked Ron.
"Because that's not his name," Harry said. "If you want, I could call him Tom."
"His name is Tom?" gasped Ron. "Such an ordinary name?"
"That's right," Professor Dumbledore said. "Very few people made that connection."
He looked at Harry.
"Did you explain the situation to him?" he asked.
"No," Harry said sheepishly. "I'm a coward."
"Harry suspects that your pet rat is a death eater in disguise," Dumbledore said. "Because Harry just identified Voldermort, I feel that we should at least check if he is right about your rat being Peter Pettigrew. Can you put your rat on the table?"
Scabbers immediately started to run away. Professor Dumbledore quickly stopped him and transformed him into Peter. Ron stared, shocked. After a stunning spell, Dumbledore bound Peter to Quirrell/Voldermort with ropes.
"You're going to have to give your statement to the minister of magic," Dumbledore told Harry.
"Do you trust him, Professor?" Harry asked.
"I'll be with you," Professor Dumbledore said. "We will only tell him what he needs to know."
"If we tell him about the five things that need to be destroyed, he can help us with the power of the ministry," Harry said. "He can also help us catch the death eaters who are planning to aid Voldermort in the next few years."
"Do you trust him?" Dumbledore asked Harry.
"No," said Harry. "I don't know him, and when he hears what's in my head, I have no guarantee he won't try to kill me for it."
"Do you trust me?" Dumbledore asked.
Harry looked away.
"Harry," Hagrid yelled. "What do you think Professor Dumbledore would do to you? Of course you could trust him."
"This is the first time he's meeting me," Dumbledore explained. "It makes sense he won't trust me."
He turned to Harry.
"I need you to be honest with me. Who do you trust?"
"Sirius and Remus," Harry answered.
"I could have Remus come while I question you," Dumbledore offered.
"What about Sirius?" asked Harry.
"I'll see what I can do," Dumbledore said.
"I want both of them to here when I tell my story," Harry said.
"I'll make sure they are," said Dumbledore. "Now go enjoy the feast. When they come, we will go upstairs and talk."
Harry and Ron returned to the Gryffindor table. Everyone wanted to know what was going on. When Harry and Ron kept calling Voldermort "Tom", Fred and George decided to take it one step further and started calling him Tommy-boy. Dean Thomas was confused. Harry tried to explain.
"There was a really bad wizard who killed lots of people," he told him. "Ten years ago, he killed my parents. I just hexed him, and he will be going to jail tonight."
"But why is everyone making a big deal over his name?" asked Dean.
Harry asked for a quill and parchment. Hermione lent him one. He wrote in big letters "Tom Malvoro Riddle"
"This is what his mother named him," Harry said.
Underneath, he wrote, "I am Lord Voldermort." He made a line connecting each letter to its pair in the original name.
"Tom changed his name to make himself more fearful," explained Harry. "Most people forgot what his real name is. Since Tom is a regular common name, Fred and George are making fun of him."
Fudge walked into the hall and arranged for aurors to take Voldermort and Peter to Azkaban. He also arranged to have Peter questioned and reluctantly agreed to let Sirius go based on Harry's information, on condition that Peter's answers under veritaserum match Harry's story. Towards the end of the feast, Harry saw Remus walk in and stop at the head table. He ran over to him and embraced him.
"Moony," he cried. "I missed you. How come you never came to visit me?"
"I was told I'm not allowed to," Remus said. "You weren't supposed to remember me."
"Which stupid idiot told you that?" demanded Harry.
"The stupid idiot is actually sitting at this table," Dumbledore said with a grin.
"I'm sorry, Professor," Harry said, looking down. "I didn't mean it that way."
"Don't worry," Dumbledore said. "I find your comment amusing, not insulting. Hopefully, one day, I can explain my reasoning to you."
"Maybe we should go upstairs now," suggested Fudge.
"I'm not starting my story until Sirius gets here," insisted Harry.
"He's on his way," Fudge said. "He was released and as soon as gets cleaned up, he will be here."
AN to RebelliousOne: Thanks for the review. The reason Harry isn't jaded is because he is because he knows that it was only a dream, and that he is the only one who could prevent the dream from coming true. He will have lots of breakdowns over the years (if I ever get that far), and he will display his temper, but right now, he's still determined to save as many lives as possible. As far as Draco goes, he doesn't believe everything Harry says. He wants to at least appear to be Harry's good friend for a reason that could change depending on which fanfictions you read. My reasoning is that he knows Harry is famous and appearing to be good friends with a famous person could make you famous too, sort of like Lucius and Fudge. They will never have a true friendship, but Harry will stop Draco's bullying short term several times in exchange for an appearance of friendship in public.
