Interrogation

As they were entering the castle Neville ran up to them. He was a little out of breath so they waited for him to catch his breath.

"Harry, the headmaster sent me to give you this note." He said as he handed it to him.

"Thanks Nev."

"You're welcome. See ya later."

"See ya Neville." The golden trio yelled as he went off towards the greenhouses.

"The headmaster called madam Bones and the aurors on them. It says here that they will question them as soon as I arrive. They said that I need to hear the truth." Harry sighed. "Guess I will see you all later."

"Okay Harry we will see you." Hermione said as she kissed him on the cheek.

"See ya mate." He said as he clapped him on the shoulder.

When Cedric just said bye Harry stared at him. "I mean I will see you later." Harry smiled and hugged him once again.

Harry made his way to Albus' office. Once he had gotten to the gargoyle it began to move to reveal the stairs. Once there he knocked on the door and entered.

"Hello headmaster."

"Hello Harry. We are going to the ministry. They want some proof of the abuse and everything that we have done to get you out of there." He told the teen.

"I see."

"Come here." Harry walked over to him and was brought into a hug. "Whatever we learn, just know that there are many other people who love you."

"I know. It just hurts to know that my own family didn't want me." He said, his voice was filled with pain.

"I can't even imagine. Come on let's go." They quickly flooed to the ministry.

At the ministry two aurors greeted the pair. "Headmaster Dumbledore, Mr. Potter."

"Hello two random aurors." The aurors smiled at the boy.

"Hello Auror Shacklebolt, Auror Andrews." The headmaster greeted them.

"We are here to escort you to interrogation rooms five and six. Just to let you know you will not be in those rooms. You will be in the viewing room between the interrogation rooms. That room allows you to see into both interrogation rooms." Andrews told them.

"That is probably a good thing. If they say something terrible or very upsetting I don't think that either of us could stop ourselves." Harry said offhandedly as he followed after them.

They laughed at him once again. They had heard what had happened and just couldn't understand how someone could abandon their own child. Not only that but to leave them with abusive people and not allow them to leave.

Auror Andrews opened a door. "This is the viewing room. The wall in the room becomes invisible on one side so you will be able to see and hear what is happening in the other room. Those in the other room won't be able to see and hear you."

"Cool." Harry said as he walked in and sat down.

Albus did the same and sat down in the chair next to Harry. The door shut behind them. They both turned and glared at James since his room was the room visible at the moment. They couldn't wait to hear the truth. A few minutes later madam Bones, and the two aurors entered the room.

"Since you have been declared dead we are considering that fraud which allows us to use veritaserum without your permission." She said.

"You can't do that." He paled.

"We can and we will. Auror Andrews." The young auror quickly administered the veritaserum to James.

"What is your name?" She asked.

"James Charlus Potter."

"Age?"

"Thirty four." Amelia nodded indicating that the potion was working and one of the aurors charmed a quill to record the interrogation.

"What really happened the night that Voldemort attacked?" She asked.

"We left Harry with my parents for the night. He was such a good baby to everyone but Lily and I and we needed a break. All he ever did when it was just us was cry and nothing we did could get him to stop." He answered.

Harry looked at the man in hurt and betrayal. Albus looked at him in anger and quickly put a comforting hand on Harry.

"We knew that Peter was a death eater. He had the dark mark and Harry never liked him. When Sirius brought the idea of using Peter we were glad. That meant that there was a chance to get rid of him." James tried to stop but he just couldn't. "When we came back my parents were dead and Harry wasn't. He was sitting in the crib crying. Lily made my parents' bodies look like us while I checked on him. I noticed the scar and a quick spell showed that it was a horcrux. After that Lily set the house on fire and then we left."

"What about Harry's living arrangements?" Amelia asked next.

"Before we went into hiding we went to the bank to change the will. If we were to die he would go to the Dursleys. We knew they would be abusive because of how Petunia began to treat Lily. If we were to die we wanted him to suffer. He would have been the cause after all. When my parents died instead, he deserved to suffer even more for killing them." He answered.

Harry stared at him in shock. Tears flowed down his cheek. What had he done to cause his parents to hate him so much? Albus put his arms around Harry as he glared at the man in anger. How dare he do this to his son. Put his son through hell just because he was fussy and a prophecy said that he might be the chosen one.

"We kept an eye on Harry throughout the years. Made sure that he was getting the treatment that he deserved. We made sure to pay the Dursleys for having to take Harry in. We wrote a letter to them telling them that they were allowed and to be paid for it. If someone tried to take him away we would step in. It was harder to do once Dumbledore found out but we just kept erasing your memories of it." James said.

That caused Amelia to want to kill the elder Potter herself but she kept calm. "What about Sirius Black?"

"We knew that he would get arrested for betraying us. If he didn't then Harry would go to him and he wouldn't pay for his crimes. Remus is a werewolf so the ministry would never allow Harry to go into his care so we didn't have to worry about him. We heard that Alice and Frank were tortured so they wouldn't get Harry. Our plans were safe." He answered.

"And the horcruxes?"

"We found out that the dark lord had created horcruxes to stay alive. We had found three of them and were going to use them as leverage so that we could become high ranking members in the inner circle. They had disappeared two days ago so we came to Britain to see why. Turns out our son defeated him. He was going to get more fame and glory so we decided to enter his life once again." He revealed.

Soon he was placed under arrest and they interrogated Lily who told them the same thing. She too was placed under arrest. Amelia checked on Harry and saw his state. She quickly grabbed the evidence she needed and told them that they could leave. Before they did she gave him a hug.

Once at Hogwarts Dumbledore allowed Harry to stay in his private rooms for the night. Harry fell asleep thanks to the fact that he was emotionally exhausted. He would tell his friends the next day.
