Disclaimer:I do not own Harry Potter. Au the characters and canon story belongs to one and only J. K. Rowling. This story contains several parts recitations from the original books. However it will not contain complete recitation of book. Also these story has no change from canon at least untill the story begins.

A/N: Hello Everyone, I am new to writing fanfiction but , I love them. Also, I make too many grammatical and Spelling mistakes. Well, the reason is I do not have much time to check the paragraph word to word. My schedule is very busy. I am currently a student who is taking partial drop for competitive exam i.e. I will be taking admission in different college and study that course along with preparing for next year's exam , which means studying two courses simultaneously. Also, I have a part time job which makes my schedule super hectic , but I can't help it, I just love Fanfictions. These act as a stress reliever for me. I do not write them for getting popular or anything. I write them for my own pleasure. It keeps my happy and forms energy for every new day.

Also as I am Indian, English is not my first language so I am not natural at it. If you are reading this thank you.

Now, I love when you give your opinions so please do not stop them. It makes me realise

my mistakes easily.

The main thing is that , in this story there will be no to minimal bashing. First reason is that I am not huge fan of them. Although some of them are very nice. Secondly, whenever I think to add bashing , I feel that I am disrespecting the original source that is Harry Potter books. These books are perfect in every sense for me. The perfect world which makes me forget my own world. The perfect ending. It is almost flawless , which took years of hardwork. I just cannot do bashing.

How can I ? How can I do it for Weasleys who did not have any obligation to treat Harry like a family member. Ron who has tried to sacrifice himself for Harry 'n' number of times. Though he made mistakes but who doesn't. Molly who became a mother to Harry , but that was not needed, it was not compulsory for her to do so. Dumbledore though is manipulative , the old man made many mistakes. But he loved Harry which is why he did not told Harry the prophecy. I just cannot disrespect legacy of Harry Potter characters. Thank You.

Interlude -1

Godfather and Godson

"Seems like we have some new task before the next chapter. "said Dumbledore." Severus and Alastor if you please.." And with that all three of them left for the kitchen.

Now everyone were getting scattered in the room. The teachers were having some chat which Harry couldn't hear. Hermione was talking with Ginny. Weasley Brothers were explaining something to Ron. Harry could hear something like ' You shouldn't ' , ' We love you', ' You are your own person' , etc. Kingsley was thinking himself. Fleur and Tonks were chatting. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were discussing something with Remus Lupin. Then Harry spotted his Godfather who was inspecting him. Harry realised that now it is time for the talk which Sirius stated they will be having. He was about to turn when,

"Harry, Pup I need to talk with you. " said Sirius. " Okay. " answered Harry.

The Godfather and Godson now sat face to face in the corner of the room. " First off all, Harry you need to be completely honest with me ,promise that. " stated the Godfather. Harry nodded. He didn't like where the conversation was going.

" Harry , I am sorry that I missed 12 years of your life..." Harry was about to interrupt when Sirius raised his hand to silence him.." No pup, it is my fault , If I had been a little more sensible or I had tried more to keep you that night , then , you would not have lived with Dursleys. "

" It's not your fault Sirius, You lost your friends and were betrayed.Any one would loose control in that situation. Anyone would want revenge. " interrupted Harry.

" No Harry, not everyone , You didn't, remember the evening at Shrieking Shack , I lost control again and even Remus but it was you who stopped us from committing the crime of murder. It was you , who thought sensibly despite being angry , Harry. You are better than us, Harry and you do not deserve this , whatever you or anyone say. " completed Sirius.

" Sirius you are just flattering me. I am not that good Sirius. I am not even sure , Sirius that I am even a good person or not Sirius. You know that I saw the attack infact ,I was attacking Mr. Weasley , Sirius..." Harry was interrupted by Sirius.

" No Harry, I will repeat again. Everyone have some good and some of the bad inside. Life is not just black and white , there are many aspects. It is our choices Harry. And don't you ever compare yourself from Voldemort. Yes, you have some similarities but , you did not chose the path he choosed Harry. He is pure evil. And You have friends Harry , something which he do not understand and he never will. Focus on how you are different from him , Harry. " said Sirius.

Harry was slightly shocked to hear the words from his Godfather, usually it's Remus who has a way with words but..." I now understand. " He glanced around the room which was full of people who believe him. Everyone here our with him , or may be not,t Snape. But , each one here is just because he said that ' He is back'. It's trust on him. Something which Voldemort will never have. Something worth Fighting for.

But then he remembered, " Sirius, but how can you expect the complete truth from me, when you all are hiding and keeping me in dark. You are not telling me everything. " Harry said seeing directly into his eyes.

Sirius took a minute, opened and closed his mouth several times and then finally spoke,

" Look Harry , I want to tell you everything but We cannot deny the fact that you are young to join the order and this war.. You should enjoy your life..."

" No Sirius, You know that I never got the chance to enjoy , Sirius , the life made me adult much before anyone in this room. I never did and I never will be able to bloody enjoy the life. I have no choice Sirius, everyone here have no obligation to follow me. I am not saying that I am the saviour or chosen one , but the fact is everyone knows that Voldemort is after me. He would come to kill me and nobody can deny that." He paused and then continued,

" It is me who had faced him , me Sirius.I do not know why he tried to kill me on the Halloween night , but I know that He just wanted me , not my parents, Sirius, they died for me. Cedric he didn't need to die and I can't loose anymore Sirius , I do not want to risk your lives , I can't loose Ron or Hermione or Ginny or Nevile, or the Weasleys I can't loose Remus or.. You , I just ... can't..." Harry could not say anymore, his voice got lost somewhere. He did not realised but he was crying, tears were flowing over his cheeks. He didn't even realised that while he was speaking his voice rosed automatically and everyone in the room were looking at him.

Sirius squeezed his shoulder and spoke,

" You are not responsible for their deaths , Harry , Voldemort is known for killing. It's not your fault that your parents died and not when Cedric..." but he was interrupted by Harry and now he was yelling.

" IT'S MY FAULT, I KNOW THAT MY PARENTS DIDN'T NEED TO DIE , THEY HAD OPTION.

I heard it , from the Dementors. Dad asked mom to carry me and run and he faced him, tried to slow him down but he failed. And My mum , He gave her the choice...He literally GAVE HER THE CHOICE,.. but she rejected that. She sacrificed herself for me. And Cedric...I dragged him to his death ...He denied to hold the cup , he told me to lift the cup...But I didn't ... It was me who said that let's do it together, ...You didn't know anything, nobody knows...He said, Voldemort said ' Kill the spare', to him he was just a SPARE." and he again lost his voice and looked down.

Everyone in the room were silent and some were shocked to hear the outburst. Molly just burst into tears. Arthur started comforting her. The Weasley Brothers were speechless they cannot decide what to do. Tonks was shocked to hear another outburst , but can't help the boy. Kingsley understood but cannot help the boy. The boy had seen so much. Fleur was in a way happy that he is letting out his feelings. Ginny could not see her saviour in such a state. Lupin has now realised that how much his Harry has inside him. Even Moody , Dumbledore and Snape returned from the kitchen when they heard yelling. Dumbledore cannot help but blame himself. He should have told the boy the truth. Yes he will very soon as soon as he gets the chance. Snape was gobsmaked. He just couldn't believe his ears. The boy was blaming himself for everything. But, it was his fault it was he who gave the prophecy to the dark lord. He is responsible for Lily's death. He was also shocked to hear that the dark lord gave Lily the chance which he promised, but still it's of no use now.

And Harry sat down back , looking at the floor , still not realising that every eye in the room was upon him.

His friends, Ron and Hermione were about to reach him , when Sirius came back from trance and motion them not to. He mouthed later and whispered "I will do it this time."

Sirius then rubbed his back and comforted him and somehow after a minute the occupants of the room saw the pair hugging both in tears. After 10 minutes, Harry relaxed and cooled down. Everyone were now sitting in their respective places no one directly looking at the pair but every ear was trying to listen their conversation. Even , Snape ;The three of them decided that this was more important than the cabinet door.

It was Sirius who broke the long maintained silence in the room, " It's okay pup , I understand. Now look at me. " Harry looked at him. Sirius found the pair of green eyes just like Lily's looking at him but the face was of James. It was like Lily and James were looking at him. But no it's Harry. His eyes were now demanding him the truth. He was about to say that he with Dumbledore will tell him the truth , but like Dumbledore read his mind and spoke , " If the books not covers it , Harry , I will tell you the truth just after we finish the books and I mean it. " Harry looked at him , Dumbledore's eyes didn't have the twinkle but he definitely was speaking the truth. Harry nodded and turned back to Sirius , still oblivious to the fact that everyone were looking at the pair.

" Okay, Harry now it's your time to give us the real picture. And please be honest. " Sirius spoke calmly. Harry nodded.

" Okay, do the books covered everything about your life at Dursleys." Harry shook his head. " Okay, so... first , were you abused in any kind. " asked Sirius.

" They always treated me like I was filth, they called me a freak. I believed them. I thought I deserve their treatment." Harry said , Sirius was about to open his mouth but Harry spoke again, " But it was in my second year, when I realised that their treatment was wrong. When I visited the burrow , Mr.and Mrs. Weasley never called me a freak , never insulted my parents always fed me even more than I can eat. I thought it was abnormal. But soon I realised that it was normal actually. It was when I realised that I was abused at the Dursleys and I do not deserve that treatment. It was when I realised that what a Family is. And I can't thank them , despite how many times I try. They are the best family. They didn't have any obligation to treat me as family but they did. And I will always be grateful to them " he completed.

Molly was about to reach Harry but Arthur stopped her and whispered ," Let him speak , Let him take everything out. It will help him. Molly nodded and took the step back. After hearing about the Weasleys, Sirius turned towards Molly and Arthur and his face was cleary showing gratitude and regret. Molly waved her hand. He nodded and again turned to Harry who was now again looking towards the ground.

Lupin turned to Molly and Arthur. " Thank You, Thank you so much to fill the space of parents for Harry. " Molly again waved her hand. " It is nothing Remus, it is the least we can do for him. The boy has suffered so much. And it is not difficult to love him , you know. " then Arthur spoke, " Molly is right dear, you both had reasons due to which you were unable to care for Harry. And yes I agree,that Harry has every right to know the complete truth. " Molly looked like she want to protest but after she galnced at Harry she realised, " Yes , You are right Arthur. It's true that Harry is young but it is also true that that situation has made him grow very soon. He has suffered more than anyone in this room."

Lupin nodded. While the other Weasleys were shocked to hear these words from their mother but still were happy.

" Okay, Well it was like Aunt Petunia wanted to treat me better at first. She even hugged me twice when I was little. But whenever I looked at her eyes , I found something which was not just hatred but regret. But Uncle never had any affection. He always yelled at Aunty when she tried to treat me well and eventually she stopped treating me well. She never hit me , smacked me sometimes but never hit me. It was Uncle who made Dudley against me. It's not his fault that he became a bully. It was because his father encouraged him. Soon Aunt started discrimination and when I was 3 she totally turned against me. It was like whenever she saw me , she remembered something. It was like I was a burden to her. When I was 4 , she started teaching me chores and I started to do the chores. When I was 5 ,she started teaching me cooking and by I was 7 , I started preparing meal three times. I was always starved but was given food before I could fall ill.I was always punished when I scored more than Dudley. I never had any friend. No one wanted to go against Dudley and his gang so I was left alone. I was not allowed to talk to neighbours and speak ill of them. It is why nobody knew about their treatment towards me. Not even Mrs. Figg. Uncle Vernon never hit me till I was 7. But then he started hitting me for a few times , only when my accidental magic showed up. He was trying to beat magic out of me. It was just thrice when he hit me with belt not more than that. I once tried to tell the counsellor of the school about the abuse. But the next day she left the job. Once a Police officer asked about my clothes but before I can answer Uncle Vernon told him that my clothes were to be washed so I wore those clothes. " And he completed with a sigh.

Every other one in the room was now gobsmaked. The saviour of the wizarding world lived a miserable life was known to them when they read few chapters of the book. But there was more to it ...It was unbearable, unbelievable. How can someone? No !! Everyone were now fuming with anger except one Albus Dumbledore who was deeply ashamed. He has never regretted any action in his life this much .

It was he who spoke first. " I did a terrible mistake my son. I regret my action very much my boy. I am responsible for your misery Harry. I am so sorry. Harry , I owe you my boy. Please , give me my punishment, Harry. You have every right to. To save you from outside evil , I planted you to the house of misery and abuse. I failed you my boy. I failed You..." he was completely broken down. Tears of regret were coming from his blue eyes which lacked it's characteristic twinkle.

It was not easy to see the headmaster in this state. No one has ever seen him crying.

Harry reached the headmaster and said truthfully, " It's not you fault Professor. You always thought the best for me. It's not your fault that the Dursleys didn't treated their own nephew well. You do need to apologise. There is only one person to blame or I don't know if even he is a person anymore , but yes the blame goes to Voldemort. " These words were totally unexpected. The boy who suffered so much , forgave so easily. Everyone were tearful at the sight. Snape was deeply shaken on the tendency of the boy to forgive. Mcgonagall was shaken that how easily he could forget and forgive.

Dumbledore's eyes were now showing the tears of pure joy. Then something unexpected happen , so unexpected that no one can ever imagine. The sight shown was Albus Dumbledore hugging Harry Potter. He truly cared for the boy. Everyone were could not decided that they were more happy or shocked. After a while, Harry though shocked returned the hug. Then Harry again turned to Sirius and went there.

" I will kill the Dursleys. They- cannot - escape -I -will-finally- commit-the -murder. " snarled Sirius. " No Sirius, you need to wait till the full moon, then they will see the wolf." said Lupin with venom in his eyes. Almost everyone agreed except one.

" NOOO!!" Harry yelled. " No one will do that. See I know that you all are unhappy with them..." Harry continued. " That is an understatement Harry. " spoke Ginny.

" Noo!! Listen . You need to understand, you all need to. See from their point of view. They too didn't had a choice. Aunt Petunia who hated her sister and her family and our wizarding world, one day found that that she need to raise one. I agree that they didn't treated me well but see they , I mean she had a choice. She could have given me to an orphanage but she didn't. She agreed to keep me in the house despite of her own hatred and Vernon's protests. She knew that if she doesn't accept me then death eaters will kill me. So in a way she saved me. She initially tried to treat me well. But I think whenever she saw me she remembered her sister. Though she didn't loved her sister but she cared for her , because she was her sister. She in a way blamed me for her death. She tried to stop Vernon but she can't. She can't loose her family for me. Please Understand. " Harry protested.

Everyone in the room now could not hold it. They were gobsmaked once again for the third time in the same day. They couldn't believe that the boy who was abused by his relatives is still trying to protect them.

" You are very generous, P-Harry. " and to everyone's shock it was Snape who said that. He continued, " I owe you an apology Po- Harry. I always treated you like you are your father. But I neglected the fact that you have Lily in you. But now I have realised, that you infact are your own person and I was wrong to judge you beforehand. I am truly Sorry. "

Harry looked at him wide-eyed like it was some sort of dream.

Now , it was for the fourth time in a day. Today was the day of miracles. Sirius Black almost fainted with shock. Lupin too could not believe his ears. Tonks too obviously was in shock , her potions professor the greasy git of the dungeons apologising ? Molly and Arthur were smiling obviously after coming out of shock. The Weasley Brothers were still in shock. Fleur was in shock too though she didn't know much about him , one thing was clear , he hated Harry. Moody and Kingsley showed expression of amusement. The teachers were half confused half Happy. Dumbledore was calm enough to not show his emotions again but within his mind he was astonished. Ron whispered to Hermione , " Either he has gone mad or me!" .

Hermione was eyeing him suspiciously as in to read his mind. And Ginny was sure that someone has possesd Snape.

It was after a while that Harry nodded in acceptance of the apology. Now , Harry has let out everything about the Dursleys. But something was still there. He motioned Ron and Hermione to follow him to his and Ron's room. They nodded and continued towards the stairs followed by Harry. Harry was in fourth step when he heard Sirius's voice. Sirius spoke lovingly, " I love you , Harry. " Harry studdered ,afterall ,it was for the first time he had heard so. He after a minute spoke back, " I...er..I ..Love you ...too ". And with that the trio left.

Sirius rubbed his hairs. It was Mcgonagall who spoke , " I understand Sirius. No one should have any problem to speak such simple four words. " she side glared Dumbledore. Sirius nodded. Lupin spoke,

" Well we will change that for sure."

Then Dumbledore motioned to Snape and Moody to follow him to do their task which was left incomplete. And then room was filled with Silence. Harry has given them some very important things to thinkover.
