Last time : Dumbledore looked like he ate puke but said with twinkling eyes...

Dumbledore looked like he ate puke but said with twinkling eyes "Mr. Potter be that as it may, circumstantial evidence is against you and I have to put you on restriction. You will always have one of the professors escorting toy to the classes and to your dormitory. Until this problem is cleared you will have a restricted access to library ans will stay in Professor Potter's quarters."

Harry knew there was no use arguing. He knew that this was old man's revenge for article. He knew it was up to him to solve this mess and replied "O.K professor. Now I would like to examine the plumbing"

To the utter dismay of everyone Dumbledore said "You are not authorized to do any such thing Mr. Potter. Leave this matter to expert's." McGonagall viewed Dumbledore like he has grown a second head. She knew this was revenge and was shocked that the man who lived for over a hundred and fifty years was behaving like a child. Harry was the best one who would solve it few hours if given a chance but this fool's arrogance is costing them. She hoped Harry wouldn't get angry and reject to help when they will be buried neck deep in it.

Professor Flitwick was having same thoughts and Snape was thinking 'what got into him today. The boy agreed to his terms and only asked to examine the evidence first hand. If what Minerva and Filius say is right the kid can easily solve the problem.' Potter's and Black were very happy as they were able to restrict the brat and would be able to observe him closely.

Harry knew Dumbledore was doing this knowingly and decided to play along. "It's fine headmaster. But don't come asking me for help if it gets out of hand." He was then escorted to his room to stay for the night. Harry was thinking about 'Chamber of secrets' when it hit him. He slapped mentally for not thinking earlier. Sal has mentioned about a secret chamber built to house his pet basilisk "Meddy" for protection of castle. Surely some one was controlling her and misusing her. He felt like an idiot for not asking about the entrance previously as all the founder's now went for a different plane and will be back to Avalon only after a year. He thought 'may be i need to go out of line to solve this.'

Lestrange Manor:

Rodolphous Lestrange was the only one who was still loyal to Voldemort and escaped Azkaban as he was unmarked and use the ruse of imperious curse. He was now sitting in his study sipping a glass of fire whisky and was thinking about recent events. He ordered the strike on Potter's as ordered by Dark Lord in his letter. But it has failed and they lost all the thug's. What troubled him was not the failure. He never expected it to be a complete success. But what troubled him was that they were unable to even scratch their targets and he reason was a twelve year old boy who he was unaware of. He thought the elder potter must have died as no news came about him. But then he reconsidered. May be Dumbledore was training him secretly? The children-who-lived crap was just a way to side track them?

But then again there was the article about Harry Potter. He gave a exclusive to Rita Skeeter who for once wrote the actual story than fabricated lies. He went through the article once again

HARRY POTTER: A SAVIOR OF OUR SAVIORS?

Dear readers this is an exclusive from Mr. Potter after he had a meeting with Hogwarts Board of Governors on display of favoritism by headmaster Dumbledore regarding the house cup last year when he unceremoniously awarded twelve hundred points to Gryffindor house. Mr. Potter here has challenged the headmasters decision in front of board who have decided that Harry Potter's accusations were true to the word and fined Albus Dumbledore as well as telling him to give the house cup to Ravenclaw house, to whom it truly belonged. I then proceeded to ask him about this favoritism and his life.

I asked "Mr Potter why do you think Dumbledore has shown such favoritism?"

He simply replied "I cant answer that question but who are we to question the motives of great Dumbledore?"

For my question "Harry, how come none of the wizarding world knew about you before the fight in Diagon ally?"

He simply shrugged and replied "It is quiet simple. I was never allowed to come out of the manor. I was always left behind. Anywhere i went was only St. Mungos when i visited my god father."

At this i was shocked and asked "Why were you not allowed any where ?"

The reply i got shook me. He said "I was declared a squib by Professor Dumbledore after my birth and so i was not allowed to come into the public. All the time they left me at the manor in care of house elves."

Here I ask the wizarding world, "What is this malice? Is it proper on the part of a family to neglect and abuse a child just because they ASSUMED he was non magical?"

Then I asked him if he had any special training and the reply left me dumb struck. He simply said "Unlike my siblings who were trained by Albus Dumbledore since they were four at Hogwarts, I received no special training from him. It was my hard work and self study which saved me."

Reader's you are to note that Potter's and Longbottom's have left young Harry alone in the ally when he was attacked and ran for their lives. Few eye witness also state that if it wasn't for his timely intervention The remaining Potter's and Longbottom's would have been captured and Harry need not even fight the death eaters as he was far away from battle and was unnoticed.

Then i proceeded to question him about the battle itself. "How did you find being surrounded by Death eaters and the family which should have protected you just left you and ran?"

His reply was "I cant express. I felt hurt that i risked my life for them and they didn't even stay to help. I was afraid at being surrounded but understood that I need to fight to live. I also understand that the adults did it to save my siblings and Longbottom children as they are savior's of our world."

Reader's is it correct for so called saviors to run at the face of danger? Shouldn't it be them with all the training fighting these rogues? It is for you to decide.

Special Correspondent,

Rita Skeeter.

As Rodolphous completed the article he felt that this kid was an enigma. He fought like a machine and if he was self thought he didn't know what would have happened if the kid was trained. He shuddered at the thought and mused 'if this kid was ignored may be he could join us. It would be a big blow.' As he was in his musings a house elf came in and said "It has begun master. The chamber has been opened."

Rodolphous smiled and said "good. keep me posted."

Dumbledore was sitting in his office with Potter's. Everyone one was lost in their own thoughts. Dumbledore was thinking about the article a few days back and its impact. He has received many howlers after that and a few were from parents of Gryffindor's. He remembered the meeting he had with elder potter son after the article was published.

Harry knocked on the door and he herd a voice call "come in."

Harry entered to find all of Potter's along with Dumbledore seated in his office. He said "As I presumed."

They knew he already know's about the meeting so Dumbledore sprung to the matter at hand directly. "Harry, my boy with whom did you go to board?"

Harry sneered and said "I went with permission. With whom i went is not the concern."

Dumbledore sighed and replied taking out a vile from his robes "If you don't answer the question I will have to force you to take vetraserum. Don't think about legal proceedings as I already have permission of your family."

Harry smirked and said "I would like you to try. Don't for get that I was disowned and as of now have no magical guardians."

Dumbledore smiled and said "That makes it even easier. I as Headmaster can administer you vetraserum and no one is better to question. I can even use Legilemency and no one will object."

Harry smirked and replied "You tried that already and failed. Lets try vetraserum now. Shall we?" Saying this he pulled the veil from Dumbledore opened it and gulped down whole liquid.

Everyone smiled thinking what a fool he was. Three drops was more than sufficient. Now he drank whole whole veil. Dumbledore asked him "Who did you go with to the Board Harry?"

Harry laughed and said "As i said earlier it is not your concern."

At the gobsmacked expressions of everyone present in the room he added "what do you think? I will come unprepared? I already took antidote. You should know Dumbledore that you shouldn't make a enemy out of me. It could be hazardous to your health."

That brought everyone from their daze and Dumbledore said "Why did you give that interview to Rita Skeeter Harry?"

Harry simply smiled and said "She asked a few questions and i said the truth."

Dumbledore said in a stern voice "You will ask take back what ever has been said and apologize publicly. Do you have any idea what we are facing because of that article."

Harry laughed out loud and said "I told you before itself old man that not to do mistakes you cant afford. Now they come to bite you in the ass. I will do no such thing."

James hotly said "You will do as Albus says. It is my order."

Harry now fell down laughing and said "And what makes you think i will follow your order's?"

James pulled out his wand only to find Harry's already drawn and pointed at his neck. Harry coldly said "I dont know what you were thinking but if you plan on dueling a person who bet thirty ruthless killers single handed, I would ask you to re think."

At this James paled as he knew there is no way anyone in office can win against Harry. May be Dumbledore can but it will destroy the office. It was Dumbledore who said "Enough. You wont draw wands in my office. Harry please put it back. James, you too"

As Harry put back his wand Dumbledore said "Please Harry. Your siblings need all the support they can get. Your article is costing them everything. Even Gryffindor's are being hostile towards them. Please take back what you have said."

Harry replied emotionless "As i already told I will do no such thing. NowI have a class to attend. Good bye."

As Dumbledore came out of his musings he said "Now Harry will be staying with you. Keep an eye on him and make sure he cant brew antidotes. Also keep him busy and don't let him read. I will try to distance him from his study group. We have to break him if he has to cooperate with us. At this rate he will be too popular for magic transfer to go unnoticed."

Everyone nodded and left. Harry who was hearing the conversation through his previously placed listening charms made sure to give everyone of his study group a ring inscribed with runes to nullify the effects of compulsion and memory altering charms, compulsion, loyalty, hostility and truth potions. He told his friends how the ring would go warm if any of those were tried and how they can know who did it.

The very next day Everyone in study group felt their concealed rings go warm at different times of the day. No one dared to remove them from that time.

Harry didn't miss any of his regular activities as he did most of them in early mornings. He simply left by flaming out and came back before any one even woke up. He studied late at night inside his special room in his trunk leaving a doppelganger to sleep in his place. This unnerved everyone as harry was perfectly happy with restrictions but the potions still didn't work on him. After a month Potter's had a meeting with Dumbledore.

Lilly Potter said "Albus the brat doesn't study at nights. He wakes up only a couple of minutes before us and there is no way he is able to brew potions. I have been supervising him and He didn't cross any restrictions."

Dumbledore sighed and said "May be his friends are brewing potions for him. Even they are not responding to potions. Look's like he us to tamper the foods. His friends already taking antidotes to different spells and potions. We need to search their dorms but Filius is not allowing."

Everyone was pondering on what was happening when suddenly peeves burst in and said "Headmaster a student has been petrified on the way to hospital wing"

Everyone jumped at this and ran toward's hospital wing. As they reached they saw Harry already looking down at body and many students standing at a distance. Dumbledore smirked inwardly.

Harry had just finished his home work and was heading towards potters quarters when he heard the similar voice. Intent on catching it this time he followed it. As harry reached the spot he saw some water on the floor and Colin petrified with camera on hand. He checked for pulse and on finding one he left a relived sigh and started checking for evidence. He saw spiders fleeing and confirmed his suspicions. Now he needed to find who was behind it and found the same perfume. He couldn't pinpoint the perfume but didn't find any other clues. He was sure the basilisk was using the plumbing to move through the castle.

Harry turned back to Colin and saw he had a camera. Harry thought may be if he captured the photo of attacker. He was about to take the camera when Dumbledore came shouting "Mr. Potter stay where you are."

Harry rolled his eyes and stood his ground. Dumbledore said "Mr. Potter in my office. Lilly take Mr. Creevey to hospital wing"

Harry followed the old man to his office where on entering Dumbledore said "Ah, Harry. What do you have to say this time?"

Harry replied "What ever i may say it wont stop you from doing what you want. So do as you please."

Dumbledore frowned and said "Harry, I can support you to solve this problem if you will teach your siblings. As you see students may be killed in next attempt."

Harry understood that the old man knew what was happening and used legilemency subtly glancing over his memories. What he saw made Harry sick. He replied "Over my dead body Dumbledore. Remember if a student dies their blood is on your hands, not mine."

Dumbledore frowned further and said "Fine then. You are restricted to your quarters and classes. You will always stay in presence of a teacher."

Harry nodded and said "Fine."

It was nearing December and Harry had no way to find the entrance. He thought "damn you Dumbledore". He was nearing the breaking point and was in Transfiguration class. The class was going on when Hermione asked "Professor we have searched every where but didn't get any clues on 'chamber of secrets'. Can you please tell us about it?"

McGonagall said "Very well. Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago, by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not."

At this harry was left shocked. 'They co existed peacefully and happily with one another. Which idiot has been spreading rumors?'

As everyone was silent except a remark by Ronald Weasely she continued "Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all magic families. In other words, pure bloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Though shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The heir alone would be able to open the chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic."

At this Harry lost his composure and rose up saying "Absolutely false. Salazar did nothing like that."

Everyone was shocked at the outburst of quiet Ravenclaw and his addressing the founder with first name. Ron weasely butted in saying "oi, it is Slytherin we are talking about."

At this McGonagall lost her patience and said "Quiet. No arguments in my class." As the class was over Harry was escorted to Charms by McGonagall who said "Harry, I have never seen you so angry. Do you know anything about chamber which i said was false?"

Harry replied "Professor, the chamber is called as chamber of secrets because it was secretly concealed for castles protection. I so much as have proof that the founders co existed till the end. though I have a idea what might be in the chamber i cant share it with you for i know you will freak out. I know some one is controlling the beast against its will as it was left to protect muggle born students from witch hunts which were common during those times."

As Harry completed his explanation McGonagall felt this was better than the story she herd. Harry then asked her "Professor where did you hear that story?"

McGonagall replied "It was written by a unknown author and was approved by ALBUS DUMBLEDORE"

As she said the last words the significance sunk into both hers and Harry's minds. That old man was knowingly creating house rivalries. He was creating the Dark and Light to ensure his continued importance. McGonagall knew she had no proof and Harry read her mind. He knew Dumbledore's best general was now on his side. He smirked internally and thought 'You dug your own grave old man'

Christmas vacation was close and everyone was in a jolly mood as no attacks happened. Harry was in Charms class and was having fun with the Immobulis charm along with friends. Flitwick was happy seeing his favourite pupil in the class. Now harry was staying in Quarters of Professor Potter's and he hardly had any time to have a intelligent conversation with the kid. The class was over and Harry was being escorted to DADA when he heard the voice again. Harry decided it was now or never and said "Professor I believe there is going to be another attack. Inform Dumbledore."

He ran chasing the voice and his friends were running behind him Flitwick was shouting for him to come back but Harry didn't listen. He couldn't risk some ones life. But as luck would have it Harry found petrified Justin Finch-Fletchley and Gryffindor ghost headless Nick. Harry was frustrated and was about to leave when Dumbledore came along with other professors.

Dumbledore said "Mr. Potter this time there are no arguments or escape routes. You have been thrice found in the vicinity of attack. We will meet in an hour in my office to discuss what to do. Minerva please escort Mr. Potter to the Hogwarts cell."

Every professor was shocked. Flitwick replied "Surely Albus, it was young potter here who told of the attack. He cant be the attacker."

Dumbledore replied indifferently "Be that as it may, the circumstantial evidence says otherwise. Minerva if you will."

McGonagall was shocked but led harry to Hogwarts prison. She murmured to herself "Even last time chamber was opened and myrtle died he vouched for Hagrid, when he had a acromantula in school. This is sheer revenge."

Harry heard this and asked "Professor you say when the chamber was opened before a girl died?"

Though shocked she said "Yes, harry and she became a ghost and is haunting the bathroom in second floor. But may i ask how you knew it was opened before?"

Harry said "simple, the message on the wall read that the chamber was reopened. So it was opened before and recently."

McGonagall nodded and said "I am sorry Harry. I will try to reason with Dumbledore but i don't think he will listen."

Harry said "his eyes are clouded by prejudice. He cant see reason professor. Don't try."

Saying that he sat in a meditative state and sent his astral projection to bathroom an second floor and confirmed his suspicions.

Dumbledore was in his office with potter's. He said "James, Lilly sending Harry now to Azkaban will break him enough to give us control. I will call the aurors."

They just nodded and left and as he was about to call the aurors Minerva and Filius entered his office and said "Albus, enough. Stop taking your revenge. It has gone far now."

Dumbledore internally smirked and said "It is nothing to do with revenge. I have proof that Mr. Potter was the one behind the attacks."

Filius asked in a mocking tone "care to share it with us?"

Dumbledore replied "No. The evidence can be contaminated. I will share it during his trial. Now if you will allow me i have to call aurors."

The professor's were shocked and asked "Where do you intend to send him Albus?"

Dumbledore smiled and replied "Azkaban of course."

Minerva left in a flash followed by Filius and reached the prison. She said "Harry you need to escape. Dumbledore is planning to send you to Azkaban."

Harry expecting this said with a smile "you don't believe I am the culprit professor?"

Filius said "We know Harry that you did no such thing. Now you need to escape fast."

Harry laughed and said "Professor you didn't think that i wont expect this move? I knew what he was planning. I don't want to escape or else i would have done it quite some time back. Don't worry nothing will happen to me."

He called Emma and gave her his wands and blood stone and said "Emma take these to you know where. I will call you when needed. Keep safe"

Emma nodded and said mentally "keep safe young one" and disappeared in a burst of flames. Harry then turned to Astika and said "take your tattoo form" in parsel tongue and saw as the snake became a tattoo on his back.

Harry saw gobsmacked expression of Flitwick and said "Its my familiar. She is a royal Phoenix"

Filius replied "harry you can just flame out of here. Why are you waiting? And was that blood-stone you removed? Are you a parsel mouth"

harry smiled sheepishly and said "I can flame out of any where professor. But I don't want Hogwarts staff to be blamed for my escape. Yes it was blood-stone, a gift from Alexander Rawthorn. I hope it stays between us and yes I am a parsel mouth"

Both the professors nodded and became quiet. McGonagall said "I believe it was the evidence Dumbledore was talking about."

Harry nodded and said "Yes. But it is not dark magic professor. Its just a language. ..."

Harry was cut short as Filius said "We know Harry. A royal phoenix would bond only with a purest heart. So we know its not dark magic."

Minerva nodded and was about to say something but went silent as she heard foot steps. A few seconds later Lilly Potter came and said "Dumbledore wants you in his office"

Harry nodded and she opened the lock and escorted him to Dumbledore's office. She knocked the door and entered. Harry saw two aurors he recognized as Shacklebolt and Dawlish.

He smiled and said "So sending me to Azkaban headmaster?"

Dumbledore released a sigh and said "I have no option. It is for school. I have no personal grudge against you."

Harry laughed and said "If it was for school you would have let me solved the problem. Any way lets not waste each others time."

As the aurors were about to move on harry the office door blasted open and there stood ...

I wanted to leave it there but felt really cruel so ...

As the aurors were about to move on harry the office door blasted open and there stood Rubeus Hagrid.

Hagrid quickly said "Professor surely you don't believe harry did that do you? I can vouch for him."

Dumbledore calculatingly replied "as much as anyone vouches hagrid circumstantial evidence is against Mr. Potter. We have no choice."

Hagrid was about to protest when harry said "No problem Hagrid. They wont be able to keep me for long. I know I am innocent and it will be proven in trial. Thanks for your effort."

Dumbledore thought 'you will be proven innocent if there will be a trail. The question is will there be one?"

As Hagrid was protesting Harry was handcuffed and was flooed away from Hogwarts.
