Heir to the Throne

Chapter 24

News

Harry had taken the time, before going to bed to write a letter to several people, all under the name Lord Fox, one of whom was Rita Skeeter. Who would embellish a great amount, which was to Harry's tastes. For those who didn't like Rita Skeeter he also wrote to the Quibbler, the Wizards Times, the Owl Posting and other newspapers that traveled all over the world. All of them would have the shocking evidence that Harry had uncovered.... ok...Tom had uncovered it from the Grimwald Vaults. Turns out Grimmwauld was a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin as well. Harry had to admit, even he was amazed when the newspapers came out the very next morning with the story plastered on the frost page.

'DUMBLEDORE REALLY A DARK LORD?'

'TERRIFYING PROOF AGAINST DUMBLEDORE!'

and Harry's personal Favorite, by Skeeter

'DUMBLEDORE PROVEN TO BE AN OLD LIAR AND FRAUD.'

Harry was astonished when he was handed no less than five different papers, all with more or less the same story in the morning when he went down to breakfast, Draco sitting next to him as he began to read.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have mistaken a murderer for a savior, and his victim for a dark lord. Albus Dumbledore-if that is his real name- has been hiding a great many secrets within the hallowed halls of Hogwarts. A great many secrets that could a critical turning point in this war. Had any of us known these secrets, would any of us supported him as our leader of light? A great many are saying nay.

The first of many horrifying secrets, is Dumbledore's secret apprenticeship to the brutal warlord Grindelwald. Certificates in Gellert's own bank vault, opened by his heir, reveal the shocking information contained within. That Albus Dumbledore was in fact aiding Grindelwald in his mad rush for power. Many letters to and from Grindelwald from Dumbledore show that Dumbledore was the man behind Grindelwald's push 'for the greater good' and the enslaving mugglekind. Does Dumbledore himself say he is working for the 'greater good' with this war, throughout his history? In fact, it seems that even his interest in Harry Potter is 'for the greater good'.

The following letter is one such letter:

'Gellert,

Your point about wizarding dominance being for the muggles own good is the critcal point. Yes, we have been given power, and yes, that power gives us the right to rule, but it gives us responsibilities to those we rule. We must stress this point, it will be the rock on which our foundation is built. We will of course, have opposition but I think that between the two of us, we can easily stamp our any negative reactions to our goals. It is, after all, FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

-Albus.

Does this sound odd to you?This reporter things so. Another thing to be suspicious about, is that since the time of Hogwarts founding, only 15 people had died within Hogwarts halls, only three had become ghosts. And yet, in the many years since Dumbledore's tenure began, there have been over 350 deaths, all of powerful bloodlines and magic. Almost 27 of those deaths have become ghosts with Hogwarts. Again, suspicious no? As if someone is trying to stamp out all of the bloodline that could potentially resist. Someone like Dumbledore, who's magical prowess is only matched by Voldemort. Even young Harry Potter, who is a wizard beyond a mortal ken, is not nearly powerful enough to pose a threat.

These aren't the only suspicious deaths to happen around the powerful 'light' wizard that has become our leader. His own sister, Ariana o suffered an unusual death. Alone in the house, locked away she mysteriously died when it was only her and Albus in the house. No funeral, no doctor, no mourners...it makes you wonder just how he died.

So to, have all the angels that once walked our world have been destroyed. It used to be that Seraphim, Nephilim, Archangels and Cherubs fluttered around, keeping a wizard's magic whole and strong, have vanished completely into the sands of time. When was the last time anyone has talked about spotting a angel? It was one said, that a Seraphim could only thrive where magic is strong, so now that they have all but vanished, what does that say about us as a people, about our magic?

Since Dumbledore came into office, he has 'suggested' over 2/3's of 'creature' laws to the wizarding council. He was the one to decide giants were dangerous and not to be trusted, though they were a peaceful people. He was the one to begin the Giant Hunts, as seen on Decree #7892 of Magical Creature Law, able to viewed at anytime by anyone who wants to look. Decree #7899 started the Vampire Hunts, also suggested by our vaulted headmaster and bearing his name. Decree #8025 declares werewolves as a 'inferior and parasitic' species, leading them to also join the ranks of the hunted, where they were once a proud and noble species. Go and see for yourselves if you don't believe me! Our great leader for tolerance in the wizarding world, is its greatest bigot!

Dumbledore is killing magic! Dumbledore is killing people! It makes you wonder what he is teaching our children, if he's teaching anything at all!If Dumbledore is capable of killing his own sister, how much of the rumors flying within the school are true? What else is he capable of, when the bloodline breeds true? For Albus Dumbledore is related to Salazar Slytherin, Gellert Grindelwald, and even the 'dark' lord Voldemort!As seen in the following family tree.

A rather well sized family tree was placed there, clear lines running from Salazar Slytherin, down a long line to the Gaunt's, another line led to Grindelwald, and a third line ran to Dumbledore, his sister, brother and parents all listed as members of the extensive family line of Salazar Slytherin, of which only Dumbledore and Voldemort now remained.

'That's right ladies and gentlemen, Albus Dumbledore is related by blood to Voldemort himself! Though I suppose if he is capable of murdering his own sister, I suppose he is capable f killing his own cousin, no matter how distant. If he is capable of murder, how much more capable is the young, powerful and brilliantly dangerous Harry Potter? It brings to mind the murder of Cedric Diggory, at the end of the tri-wizard tournament. The slaughter of Remus Lupin at the Battle of the Ministry, and the sudden banishing of Sirius Black, Harry's own godfather, now proven innocent, also in the same battle? All supposed loved and dear 'friends' of Harry potter. All of them now dead after their lives tangled around the fateful strands of Harry Potter's....or perhaps they got in his way?

Dumbledore has always said "for the greater good", but how much good is he really doing? This reporter thinks not much at all. So ask yourselves, what you're fighting for...and what happens when things get so terribly distorted?'

All of the newspapers had different things to say, but they where all about the same, and now Harry brought tears to his eyes, clapping his hands over his face as everyone turned to stare at him, wide eyed, letting out a chocked sob, Draco gasping as he pulled Harry tight into his arms.

“Shh, Harry stop it! Their deaths weren't your fault!” Draco protested, rubbing his hand over Harry's back, comforting him as Harry shook and shivered in the blond's arms. Only Draco could hear the giggles falling out of Harry's lips as he buried himself in Draco's chest, he was shocked, and distraught, and overjoyed all at the same time. The reporters had uncovered a great amount of information that Harry and Tom had not supplied, but it hurt to be blamed for deaths he already felt guilty over. He felt several hands stroking his hair and his back as many people offered him comfort, he easily recognized Neville and Luna, Blaise and Ron and Hermione, but others offered comfort too, from all of the houses. Many only offering him a word of comfort, or a gentle squeeze on the shoulder before backing away, letting Harry know that they where with him, that they would support him.

What a joke, most of them would abandon or even betray him given the chance, a single wrong word from him, or anyone else and they would turn on him just as they had first year, second year, fourth year and especially in fifth year. He knew who he could trust, but having the rest of the students on his side for a while would be nice too, definitely very helpful. He let out several sobs as Draco urged Harry to his feet, Blaise following, gently murmuring in Harry's ear, Ron hesitating, looking from Hermione, who was grumbling under her breath about 'stinking Slytherin's' before he too followed Harry and the two 'snakes' with a worried expression.

Harry still felt guilty about the deaths of Cedric, Remus and Sirius, but he was determined to make Dumbledore share the blame. With the news now speaking openly against Dumbledore, Harry was beginning to chip away the man's defenses. Even if Dumbledore denied knowing that he was from Salazar's bloodline, which harry was pretty sure that Dumbledore hadn't realized, no one was going to believe the old liar. He had been rather amazed when the Goblin's had informed him that he was also the Heir to the Grindelwald vaults. He had been even more amazed to find that family tree, and several letters to and from Dumbledore. It was amazingly easy to use the information against the old bastard, and he had to smirk, despite pretending to be over run with guilt.

“Here we go Harry, sit down.” Draco ordered gently, lowering Harry onto a couch in the Room of Requirement, Ron smiling a little as he examined Harry, who started to giggle again, wiping his eyes free of the tears that had also come up. He hated using everyone's deaths as a way to get even with Dumbledore, but he was hopeful that everyone would forgive him.

“You going to be alright there Harry?” Ron asked hopefully, Harry nodding as he sniffled and wiped his eyes again.

“I'm alright, just feeling a bit guilty about...well everything I guess. How are you holding up?” he asked worried about his best friend, Ron sighing a little as he nodded.

“I'm alright now. Blaise helped me through it... I was just..so shocked.” he admitted scratching the back of his neck nervously. “I'm glad it was you who told me, I probably would have attacked someone if they'd told me she'd committed suicide.” he admitted with a small sigh closing his eyes, Blaise chuckling as he gently tugged on Ron's hair. “It's my parents really...that's the hardest to swallow.” he admitted shaking his head. “I never thought that they would lie to us like that, for all of my life... honestly I don't know if they even really love me...”

“Even if they don't, you have Harry to love you.” Blaise promised smiling at Ron. “you have Bill and Charlie and the twins to love you. And I bet even me and Draco will grow to love you.”

“No way.” Draco stated with a sniff. “I wouldn't ever fall in love with a horrid little ginger head. I hear he snores. It would be impossible to sleep with him!” Harry choked and Ron went as red as his hair in horror, Draco smirking to show he was only joking as Blaise started to laugh.

“Well at least I let other people use the mirror there Princess. I'm pretty sure that it takes you at least four hours to make that pretty silver hair of yours that shade.”

“Excuse me!?” Draco demanded looking utterly horrified. “I'll have you know that I am a natural blond!”

“That's not blond that's white. So you either dye it or your almost dead.” Ron teased, Draco sputtering in indignation until Harry was laughing right along with Blaise.

“Ron I assure you, that IS Draco's natural hair color, unless he dye's his crotch as well...” he paused. “He does shave his legs though so you might be right about the 'princess' assumption.” Draco and Ron both choked and Blaise burst into laughter, shaking his head as Harry snickered and leaned his head on Draco's shoulder.

“I love you Draco.” he simpered, giving Draco his best, cloying, affectionate look making the blond roll his eyes.

“I'm sure you do.” he complained before smiling as he kissed Harry gently. “but your ass is mine later.” he warned Harry snickering a little, shaking his head a little.

“Yes princess I'll make sure to have your dresses aired and your tea brought at ten as well.”

Draco went pink and he ground his teeth together as Harry giggled again, Ron smirking a little as he watched, his head tilted as he studied the two play fighting.

“I've decided.” Ron stated suddenly. “that you two, very much deserve each other.” he smirked and the two paused, both of them looking at each other.

“I think we've been insulted love.” Harry admitted looking amazed and Blaise had to laugh again as Harry stood up and stretched, the wall In the back of the room shimmering into a staircase. “I'll be right back, I need to get Rosya and that map...”

“who's Rosya?” Ron asked startled Harry chuckling a little.

“A snake, she's very smart.” he admitted motioning for them all to follow. “we'll head up to my room, Gordric won't mind if I bring company.”

“Gordric!?” Ron demanded, eyes wide as Harry laughed again.

“yes, Gordric, I'm the man's Heir.” Harry explained. “so I have access to his rooms and to his Bank Vaults.” he explained. “we're heading up to his rooms, where he used to live when he and the other founders created Hogwarts.” Ron looked amazed and impressed as Harry led the way into the Founders Quarters, smiling as he looked around. “This is their common room, up this stairway is to my room.” Harry explained Ron nodding as he followed up to the room, stepping through with the other two, all three of them looking properly impressed as the house elves swarmed over, talking excitedly to Harry that they had bought the house and fixed it all up. What house? Harry wasn't saying.

“Alright you guys calm down! What have we found out about that boy?” he asked curiously, Tot pausing to consider which one he meant before shaking her head as he reached under his pillow and pulled out the sleepy rose colored snake that hissed in protest as Harry dropped her into Ron's hands to wake up, Ron looking astonished.

“He is traveling to here.” she explained. “His Matron said that it was unusual for Forest Elves to take an interest in wizarding children but he talked her around. His name is Terrance, I didn't get a last name.” Tot admitted reading this off of a small pad she had pulled out of her pocket. “they will arrive at your new house sometime around tomorrow evening, Tiny is waiting for them there to make sure Devlin doesn't scare the little tyke to death.” Harry laughed a little and nodded.

“Thank you Tot, tell Tiny thank you as well. You've all been such great help... do you know where I put that map my mother gifted me?” he asked frustrated as he dug through his piles of papers and couldn't find it.

“Yes, I moved it into the wall safe so that you wouldn't lose it, and so it wouldn't get damaged. I'll get it for you.” she promised beaming at him, Harry grinning at her.

“Tot, have I ever told you what a godsend you are?”

“Only a lot, but I like to hear it.” she teased, Draco snickering a little as he settled onto the bed with a groan and a stretch.

“And what are you up to Harry?” Draco demanded with a lift of his eyebrow, Harry smirking a little as he shook his head.

“It's a secret.” he teased, accepting the map from Tot, and carefully lifting the now awake Rosya from Ron's fingers. "Good morning Rosya, how are you feeling? Hungry yet?' Harry asked, hissing to her softly causing the little snake to shake her head.

“No, tomorrow maybe, or the next. I'm just tired mostly. What did you need?” Harry chuckled and unfolded the Map, letting her see the Ancient Wiccan lettering.

“I need you to translate this for me Rosya.” he explained. “can you do that?” he spoke in English now, so that the others could under stand too. The rose colored snake rose and flicked her tongue at the paper, tasting it's scent before nodding. Draco flicked his wand at the Map, and transferred a copy of the letters onto a new sheet of parchment that they could write on. Harry wrote down the translations as Rosya spoke them, and smiled as he began to understand where exactly Merlin's staff really was.

“I can certainly find this.” he decided nodding a little. “Thank you Rosya, you can go back to sleep now if you want to.” he promised giving her a gentle kiss. “I'll bring you a special something tomorrow.”

“You see that you do.” Rosya ordered playfully as she curled up around Harry's upper arm and went to sleep Ron smiling a little.

“She's beautiful Harry.” he stated glancing at the map curiously, but Harry was already folding it and handing both copies to Tot who put them back in the wall vault. “your really not going to tell us whats going on are you?” he asked pouting, Draco following suit with his own little pout when Harry laughed and shook his head.

“Nope, your not even getting a hint.” he teased grinning as he offered to feed them, all of them agreeing, making Tot laugh as she fetched food from the kitchens and teased them relentlessly about having Hollow legs. Harry was feeling really very good about the whole war. He would win, he had to.
