Harry’s third year at Hogwarts passed in what was for once a normal year. Fourth year however quickly became one of Harry’s least favorite years so far. Hogwarts had decided to host the triwizard tournament and so Harry’s classmates were joined by two other schools; Beauxbatons and Drumstrang. Unfortunately for Harry the goblet that chose the champions from each school had been tampered with choosing Harry someone underage for the tournament as the Hogwarts champion.
Sirius, Remus and Severus attempted to with draw Harry from he tournament, but to their dismay the representative from the Ministry, Barty Crouch, was adamant that it was a binding contract and he will have to compete. That day drew the biggest uproar Hogwarts had ever seen. If any of the students had been doubting Harry’s innocence before there wasn’t any now. His fathers had almost had to be escorted off the premises for an attempt at Crouch. Harry, and consequently the entire school at breakfast had witness the event. Harry was shocked that Severus’ secret hadn’t been exposed, as the man was just as if not possibly more livid than his dads.
As the tasks approached Harry received more and more support from the student body. The first task ended up being dragons, which brought another hailstorm from Harry’s family at the ministry workers involved with running the tournament. The next task involved the champions saving something from the black lake. By this point several staff members were under the impression that something wasn’t quiet right with the tournament.
Sirius and Remus had taken up residence with Severus in the castle with McGonagall’s permission. The three of them and Harry spent several nights sitting talking about what might be going on. As the winter holidays came closer a frightening possibility to the strangeness of the year. On one of the nights Lucius had been visiting they were all relaxed in Severus’ sitting room.
“Father?”
“Yes Harry?”
“Why is Lucius and your tattoos getting darker,” he questioned a puzzled look gracing his features. Shocked silent the adults had all begun to inspect the Death Eater tattoos. They had indeed been growing darker signaling that the Dark Lord was not in fact dead. This had caused the men to embark on a long night of digging for information on how it was possible. They had all been stumped until Harry had mentioned that maybe he was using the same way that he also came back with the diary. Eyes widening at what the possibility could be Lucius stammered a quick I’ll be back tomorrow before running towards the floo and disappearing in the flames.
Lucius returned the next day face grave. He had figured out the most probable reason the Dark Lord would be able to return. The Dark Lord had tampered with the darkest; most tainted, and feared magic. The Dark Lord had created Horocruxes. With this knowledge the search was on for how many and where they were located.
The fourth task rolled around and with it more unease for Harry. The task was released that it would be a maze and the first to reach the Goblet of Fire would win. Harry made it through the maze in record time. However when he grabbed ahold the cup he wasn’t transported to a strange looking graveyard. Seeing a shadow loom around the corner Harry whispered out a disarming spell before binding and summoning the person belonging to the shadow. Upon realizing who it was Harry quickly grabbed the man round the wrist before reaching back and summoning the goblet into his hand. They were quickly transported back to Hogwarts where chaos ensued at the sight of a wanted man. With Barty Crouch Jr. in custody they were able to find out several of the Dark Lord’s plans.
He had apparently ben saved by his father while serving his sentence in Azkaban after the first wizarding war. Crouch Jr.'s mother had been dyeing and pleaded to take the place of her son so both wouldn't have to die. She received the kiss for him and he walked free of punishment. It was a darkly kept secret and ended up losing Crouch Senior's position in the ministry.
The school year over Harry returned back home with his family and inside knowledge thanks to Lucius in the Ministry and started to help his dads plan ways to finally finish off the Dark Lord for good.

The following summer and year were spent finding and illuminating the Horocruxes by Harry’s family and a few people that volunteered with a group Headmaster Dumbledore ran called the Order of the Phoenix. Harry in the meanwhile spent his fifth year in thankful peace. Harry’s sixth year rolled around and with it the destruction of the last of the Horocruxes. There had been six in total creation; the diary, the Gaunt family ring that was in Voldemort’s family, a Slytherin’s locket that had been in the family as well, Ravenclaw’s diadem, His pet snake Nagini (which had been quiet a task to corner and kill), and lastly Hufflepuff’s cup.
With the final destruction came celebrations. Harry was still unsure though. Lucius and Severus’ tattoos were still darkening however it was at a much slower rate than previously. He knew that Voldemort would return and there was a feeling that maybe just maybe they had missed a Horocrux in the hunt. Harry still remembered the hunt. He hadn’t told his dads but it had felt as if the pieces of Voldemort’s soul had called to him. The worst was when the last one had been destroyed. The pain had been so mind blaringly intense he had almost had to threaten the house elves to not tell and just retrieve potions for him for the pain. Though with the darkening marks and his last year at Hogwarts right around the corner Harry knew the time was coming to say something.
Rising from the window seat in his room Harry made his way out the door and down the stairs in search of one of his parents. He stumbled across Remus at the stairs to the first floor.
“Papa? Can we talk?”
Remus looked up from the paper he had been holding, “Sure cub. How about we go take a seat in the library.” Leading Harry back down the hall they walked through the open doors of the library. Walking over to one of the big windows he sat down on the cushioned bench. “So what did you want to talk about? Finally come up with something you want for your seventeenth birthday?”
“No nothing like that. Papa, remember when you and Dad and Father were helping with the pieces of His soul? I noticed something during that time. I could feel the soul fragments. It was like they spoke to me and at first I thought it was my imagination but over time it really started to freak me out. And when you took out the last one there was so much pain. I made the house elf with me swear not to say anything without my express permission. I’m so sorry Papa. I think, I think there may be more or at least something we’re missing. The Dark Marks have also gotten darker. It’s been very slow but it keeps progressing and it wouldn’t if he wasn’t getting stronger.
“Okay calm down,” Remus looked worriedly at his son. Harry was getting worked up and practically vibrating in his seat a guilty expression clearly shown on his face. “Let’s get everyone together. We’ll check you over and see what’s going on. I’m not mad. I wish you had come to us sooner. I love you Harry always, I promise we will get to the bottom of this.”
“Thanks Papa. I love you too,” Harry spoke as he reached forward wrapping his arms around his Papa’s middle. He may be almost legal in the wizarding world but that didn’t mean that he didn’t still need some honest support from his family. He smiled as he felt Remus’s arms come around him and squeeze him close. They sat there for several moments before finally breaking apart and heading down the stairs.
Harry went and sat in the kitchen waiting while Remus went and got everyone gathered. He had a house elf prepare some tea and cakes while he waited. Remus and Sirius were first to enter the room, followed by Severus and then Lucius who had been together. Arthur and Molly had shown as well as Andromeda, Ted, Dumbledore and lastly Harry’s personal doctor.
“So Harry my boy what seems to be the issued,” Dumbledore spoke before anyone else.
“Well I don’t think we had everything right with the soul fragments,” he began before continuing to tell the room what he had said to Remus.
Dumbledore had a knowing glint to his eyes as the room went into an uproar over the possibility of Harry being linked to something so awful and the fact that Voldemort seems to still be increasing in power and is in fact not dead.
“Silence. Silence, now Healer Millow if you would kindly check Harry here over to see what any connection may be? I have had an inkling but wasn’t sure and didn’t wish to upset anyone if I was wrong.”
All eyes turned towards Dumbledore. “You mean to tell me you had knowledge that I might be connected to those things and you decided not to inform me or my dads about it?”
“I did not wish to cause worry over nothing my boy but it seems I may have been right.”
“I don’t care if you were right or wrong! You had no right to not tell me! I am not some child and I will be legal in a month. Tell me now Headmaster,” Harry spoke just barely reigning in his anger towards the Headmaster who had kept something so vital from them.
“I fear Harry, that on the night Tom Riddle murdered your parents…”
“My biological parents.”
“On the night they were attacked I believe he made you into an accidental Horocrux thus creating seven instead of six.”
Harry was frozen livid in anger and fear while the rest of the room blew up into shouts and screams again. Healer Millows quickly began diagnostic charms over Harry pausing a look of utter horror on his face when he came to Harry’s scar.
“He was right. There is something there in the scar it isn’t normal but cursed. I’d recommend close work between myself and a team I know of, of trusted medical healers in the field and a really good curse breaker.”
Arthur spoke up at this point, “Bill’s a curse breaker he’s working for Gringotts currently we could ask him to take a look. You all know Bill he can be trusted and he’s damn good at his job.”
“Thank you Arthur if you wouldn’t mind sending him an owl I’ll have my elf grab parchment and a quill for you,” Sirius replied scrubbing a hand over his face.
“I’ll return to the hospital and prepare a team and we will be back here tomorrow, does that work for you all,” Millows asked.
“Yes thank you Chad how does noon sound,” Remus asked.
“Works perfect I’ll clear the schedule I want this taken care of as soon as possible.” Retreating from the room Chad Millows stepped into the floo before quickly contacting and briefing his team so they could begin research on extracting the Horocrux from Harry’s scar.
“Dumbledore I want you out of our house. You’ve known all along and yet said nothing? How long have you suspected?”
“Since the hunt. I was reviewing a prophecy that had been made about Riddle and Harry when it hit me. The phrase neither can live while the other survives, Harry and old Tom were connected and they must be the ones to finally battle it out.”
“GET THE HELL OUT NOW YOU DAFT OLD MAN!”
“Severus!”
“Quiet Molly this man knew of this prophecy told me to give hints to Riddle as a spy! HE killed my loves! It’s Dumbledore’s fault in allowing Lily and James to trust Peter while I was gone! I want you gone I will have you no where near my son and if I have to so help me I will pull him out of school and teach him myself. No more lies,” Severus was seething standing hands spread on the table in front of him.
Molly, Arthur and Dumbledore were looking at him with varying expressions the only one in common was confusion.
“Severus what do you mean your son,” Arthur asked slowly.
“I’m his son. James wasn’t my biological father. He couldn’t have kids. No one knew that Father, James and Lily were an item except a select few. I found out when I was eleven Lily wrote me a letter explaining things. We’ve kept it secret for now, for obvious reasons.”
“Lucius?”
“I have known the entire time Molly. How else do you think those three got away with seeing each other during the years if not for me, Cissy, Remus and Sirius,” he explained practically.
“We gave Harry the Potter last name and my name as a middle one. OLD MAN WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE,” Severus turned to roar at Dumbledore who was still sitting just as calmly as before.
“You do not own this house Severus you cannot make me leave.”
“Albus get out. Severus has every right to be here he is part of the family. If what is said is true I don’t want you here. The moment you leave you will be rejected from the wards and no longer able to access our home.”
It was then that the head house elf Mopsy came and dragged the great Albus Dumbledore to the floo sending him on his way.

Author's Note:
As always thanks for the ratings and reviews keep them coming!
Kyuubichild717: By silence do you mean lack of me writing characters speaking or the silence in the Great Hall? The lack of me writing is that I want to progress the story and in some parts there is nothing of major note to need the detail of adding words. THe silence in the Great Hall is that Harry is famous. He is still known as the boy who had a hand in Voldemort's defeat. Some of the characters I didn't remember middle names like Neville and went with some creativity plus I like this one better, others like Susan I completely forgot there was one so maybe in my story we'll have two Bones relitives at Hogwarts who knows. I hope that clears things up :)
Dazedandconfused: I hated the Dursley's as well. They were child abusers and I think they got off lightly so they aren't here in my story.
SO now for the story to truly get rolling! Harry's finally gonna meet Bill!!!!!!!!!! The anxiety kills me! All to come in chapter five!!
