A/N: Firstly, a very happy birthday to Tina109! I meant to have it out before your birthday but *shrugs* such is life. And I will get back to how Dumbledore dies. Honest. It'll just not happen in this chapter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three days before Harry's birthday, Peter showed up. He was instantly jumpy as soon as he realized where his Lord had sent him. Did he mean for him to die? "The plan is simple, Pettigrew. you go to Hogwarts, slip that venom into Dumbledore's lemon drops and come back here. No one else eats those damn things, so it's not like we'll have a problem will we? But you have to come back here. Unless you get caught of course. If you get caught, well, it sucks to be you," Harry, Sirius, Severus, and Remus were all glaring at him as Harry informed Peter of what the plan was.

"And what makes you think I'll agree to this?" Pettigrew demanded.

"Because Peter, you still owe me your life. You will do this for me," Pettigrew's eyes widen at the reminder.

"Very well," The wizard Apparated away. They could only assume that he'd gone to Hogsmeade and from there, Hogwarts castle.

"That was easier than expected," Sirius stated.

"Not really. He owed me his life and since what I was asking of him didn't go against a direct order from Tom, he did it. I think that his hand will kill him if he goes against a direct order from Tom," Harry mused. "Well, Hermione suggested the bit about his hand killing him, but I agree with her," He amended.

"His hand?" Sirius asked.

"Yep. When he restored Voldemort's body, he had to cut off his own hand to do it. Then Voldemort gave him a silver hand in place of the one he'd cut off," Harry explained.

"That's only slightly disturbing," Remus shivered slightly.

"He actually cut off his own hand?" Severus asked in disbelief.

"I watched him do it," Harry nodded. He turned and lead the three men back into the castle. Once inside, he informed everyone of what had happened with Peter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, as they had been doing since they fell asleep together that first night, Harry and Draco went to bed in Harry's bed. All of the girls in the castle thought it was cute that they did and no one bothered to make them sleep in their own beds. Some time after they'd fallen asleep, Harry was woken by a cold presence beside his bed. He turned over and saw a ghost standing there. Her hair was long and she was wearing a long sleeved dress.

"Draco!" Harry shook his boyfriend's shoulder. "Wake up, Dragon!"

"Wha...what?"

"Ghost," Harry said by way of explanation. The woman opened her mouth and began speaking. "Do you know what she's saying?"

"No. I think it's Gaelic though," Draco answered.

"Wait here," Harry jumped up and ran to Hermione's room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione woke to Harry bursting through the door of her and Charlie's room. �What�s the matter?� She asked, instantly alert in case there was trouble.

�There�s a ghost in my room and she�s speaking in a foreign language. I can�t understand a word she�s saying and Draco says he thinks she�s speaking Gaelic. You told me you could speak it so I came to get you,� He explained.

�Okay. Lead the way then,� Harry led the way down the hall and into his room. There was indeed a ghost standing at the foot of his bed, staring at Draco where he sat in Harry�s bed. She had long wavy hair, a kind but pointed face, and would�ve been around 5ft 7in in life. � Hello, my name is Hermione. They do not understand you and so I am to translate for them,� She informed the woman who then turned to face her.

�I was Aideen Riddle, O�Shea before I was married, in life. I have come to speak of my husband and daughter,� As Aideen spoke, Hermione translated. �I was a Seer in life and so knew I would die in child birth and knew the man my husband would become because of my death. I did not want his life for our daughter so I sent my Lillie to a friend of mine. My husband, Tom, was told that she too had died in child birth. My friend took care of my daughter, though changed the spelling of her name from L-I-L-L-I-E to L-I-L-Y. Tom never knew of this. My Lillie was accepted to Hogwarts and made great friends there. My time on this plane is running out,� She said as she began fading. �My friend�s name was Rose Evans,� With that Aideen faded completely.

�I�m lost. So what?� Draco demanded.

�So Tom Riddle is the Dark Lord�s real name and my mum�s name was Lily Evans.�

�Alright, Harry, even if a child is still born, they keep records of them. Do you think your aunt would know which real hospital your mum was born at?�

�It�s worth a try,� He shrugged.

�Okay, so here�s what we�ll do. Tomorrow we�ll see if Minerva or Severus would let us go to your aunt�s and see if she knows which hospital. If not, well, we�ll figure that out then, okay?�

�Yeah, alright.�

�Don�t panic, Harry, not yet.�

�Don�t panic? I could very well be Voldemort�s grandson, Hermione, and you�re telling me not to panic. I will panic if I damn well want to!� He insisted.

Draco reached up and pulled him onto the bed with him. �Harry, love, even if you are his grandson Hermione and I will still be by your side. The entire DA has stood beside you through everything so I�m sure they will through this. And they don�t need to know this anyway. Besides, it�s not like you�ll become evil like he is. Didn�t you hear what Aideen said? It was the loss of his wife that sent him completely over the edge. You�re not going to lose me anytime soon, Harry. And if that should happen, you have Hermione, Sev, McGonagall, and the others to help keep you grounded, understand?�

�Thanks, Dragon,� Harry rested his head against Draco�s shoulder.

�Good night again, boys,� Hermione smiled at the two of them and left back to her own bed. She stopped by Ciara�s bed to check on her before crawling into her own beside the still sleeping Charlie. She marveled at his ability to sleep through just about anything. She wondered if it was just something all Weasley men were able to do as she knew Ron did it to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Relax, Harry. Go back to sleep, love. We'll figure this out in the morning, okay?" Draco carded his fingers through his boyfriend's hair.

"Okay," Harry agreed. He curled back up with Draco but sleep was still a few hours away.

When he woke the next morning, he had almost convinced himself that he had dreamt the ghost and what she'd said until Hermione walked into the dinning room. "Harry, that ghost last night was real. Your dad's dad had an old yearbook from Hogwarts in the library. She's right here," She showed him the picture of the woman who was likely his grandmother.

She looked like Lily. They had the same long, wavy, red hair and almond shaped green eyes. "Shit. I was really hoping that was a dream," Harry sighed. "Where's Minerva and my dad?" He asked.

"Right here. Sirius and Remus want to come with us," His dad answered, walking into the room. Once again, he and Minerva were dressed in muggle clothes. "We can go whenever you're ready."

"Let's just get this over with," Harry sighed. Severus held onto his son and Apparated them to the alley where Harry and Dudley were attacked by Dementors before his 5th year. The group walked to 4 Privet drive in silence. "Aunt Petunia!" Harry called, opening the door.

"You! What are you doing here?" The woman entered from the kitchen where she had been cleaning.

"Is Uncle Vernon or Dudley home?" Harry asked.

"Vernon's at work and Dudley's with his friends. Why are you here?"

"I have a couple questions about my mum," Harry answered.

"I don't care. Get out of my home!"

"Make me," Harry raised an eyebrow. "Look, I don't want to be here any more than you want me here so let's just get this over with, okay?" He walked toward his aunt, causing her to back up into the kitchen. He sat at the kitchen table, Minerva and Hermione on either side of him and Sirius, Severus, and Remus behind them. He waited to speak again until Petunia sat down across from him. "Did you know that my mum was adopted by your parents?"

"So that's what this is about? Yes, I knew. My parents thought that I wasn't old enough to understand what adoption was so they never told me. But I did understand what was going on."

Harry nodded. "Do you know what hospital she was born at?"

"I only remember my mother saying something about being born at Danu, whatever that means."

"You're sure it was Danu?" Hermione asked.

"Very."

"That's a good thing?" Harry asked.

"Yes. Our maternity hospital is named after the Celtic goddess Danu, the Mother of the Gods," Minerva answered.

"Right then. Thanks, Aunt Petunia. We'll be leaving now then," He, Hermione, and Minerva stood from the table. The group of six walked into the hallway.

"Harry, we'll Apparate to the hospital from here, okay?" Sirius asked. Harry nodded. Severus held onto Harry and they Dissapparated and reappeared at the maternity hospital.

"Can I help you?" The woman behind the desk turned her smiling face to the group.

"Yes actually. We were looking for the birth record of my mother, Lillie Riddle?" Hermione held a hand on Harry's arm as she spoke.

"Of course, Miss. This way," The attendant stood and lead them off to a side room. "This is Mrs. Austin, she can help you."

"Thank you," Hermione smiled at the woman as she left.

"Who are you looking for dear?"

"My mother, Lillie Riddle or O'Shea. I'm not sure if she was given my grandmother's maiden name or not," Hermione responded. Harry knew perfectly well why she was speaking for him. It was so no one could figure out that he was related to Voldemort if he didn't want them to.

Mrs. Austin was sifting through folders. "When was your mother born, my dear?"

"1960," Severus answered first.

"Here she is," The elderly woman handed her a folder a few moments later.

Hermione opened it while Harry read over her shoulder. Lillie Riddle was born to Tom and Aideen Riddle (nee O'Shea) on the 30th of January 1960. She was then adopted by Caleb and Rose Evans on January 31st 1960, when her name was changed to Lily Evans. Harry's face paled. He was Lord Voldemort's grandson.

"Thank you, Mrs. Austin," Hermione handed back the folder and turned Harry around as they walked back to the main lobby. Taking hold of his son, Severus Apparated them back to Dunluce castle.

"Oh gods," Harry collapsed on the ground. "I'm his grandson. I've been fighting my own grandfather for years and never knew it," He stared at the grass as he spoke.

"Come on, Harry. Let's get you inside," Together, Sirius and Severus helped Harry into the castle.

Hermione told Draco what had occured after they'd set Harry on one of the couches. "Love, look at me," He knelt at his boyfriend's feet. "It doesn't matter that you're his grandson. Not to those of us who love you. And remember, we don't have to tell anyone else what you learned today."

"I know, Dragon, I know."

A/N: And this is where I leave you. In case any of you have read her story yet, this is the idea Bella (Darkest Tempest) got from me. The whole being Voldie's grandson bit. If you haven't read it, I suggest it. It is on the dark side though, to warn you. So, the next chapter will have Harry's birthday and Fleur and Bill's wedding. And the end of the story will occur before September 1st. Thought you might wanna know that too.
