Harry sits in the dark on his small lumpy bed in the cupboard under the stairs. This is the place in which he had spent most of his life, before he went to Hogwarts and he still dwells there during his summers.
In his fist, he is tightly clenching a letter he had received from his so-called parents. His knuckles are white, and his fingernails dig into the palms of his hands, causing them to bleed. He doesn't seem to notice this, though. His is is a blur, and he is swimming in a sea of emotions.
He has just read, to his shock, that the people he thought were his parents, in fact, are not. He just found out that he isn't even related to them at all. His whole life so far has been a lie.
All the years he had stayed at this place, abused, neglected, and tortured and now he finds out the people who did those things to him aren't even his family. He has a real family that might be alive, and he wis incensed that he has been forced to stay with this false family all these years.
Harry opens up the letter again, and begins to reread it. 'Maybe I read it wrong,'he thinks to himself, 'This can't be true. Everything is a lie.'
Dearest Harry,
I wrote this letter right after you were born. First, I want you know that we loved you very much, and only did this to protect you. I hope that one day I can tell you everything in person, but if you are reading this, James and I are dead.
I know this is going to come as a shock to you, but James and I are not ypareparents. I did carry you and gave birth to you, but biologically you aren't our son. Though I wish you were, it's not the truth. We did everything to protect you and your fathers. Yes Harry, I said fathers. because you don't have a biological mother. Your fathers were given memory charms, so they haven't any clue about you being their son. I also put a charm on you, so that you would like James and me. It will start wearing off soon.
There is a letter to each of your fathers in a vault at Gringotts. The key is enclosed with this letter. Go and get the letters. They are addressed to each of your fathers. I hope that they are still alive, and I must leave it up to you to decide if you wish to tell them. If you decide not to tell them, you can tell Professor Dumbledore. He will give you a box, which will allow you to remain looking like James and me.
Please consider wisely before informing them, and remember, everything we did, we did because of love.

After Harry finishes rereading the letter, he becomes even angrier. 'How could they do this to me?' he asks himself silently, then kicks the wall. 'My whole life has been a lie, and Dumbledore knew about it. I am so sick of everyone manipulating my life! Ever since I found out I was a wizard, Dumbledore and everyone else have been telling me what to do. They've been hiding things from me, and avoiding the truth. Maybe I am
suppose to be in Slytherin. I mean, if the Potters aren't my parents, then maybe I belong in another house. I forced the Sorting hat to put me into it because I was told my parents were there. Now, I find out the people I thought were my parents aren't them.'
He scoots off the bed, and begins to write a letter. He writes quickly, knowing that his so-called uncle and aunt would be returning to the house soon.
Dumbledore,
I have just received, and read, a letter from my so-called mother. I am sure you know all about this. I am writing you to tell you that I have decided to take my life into my own hands now. Which means I am requesting to be resorted. If you do not comply with this, then I will have to switch schools. Don't think I won't do it, either.
Harry
He reads the letter that he just wrote over again to make sure everything is perfect then attaches it to Hedwig's leg. "Take this to Dumbledore," he orders her. Then takes her to the kitchen window and lets her go. He watches her fly out through the open window, and quickly returns to his bed. He lies back and starts crying again. He still has to endure the rest of the summer with his so-called family. The young wizasn'sn't going to take any more crap from them, this he has already decided.

(Malfoy Manor)
Draco is eating dinner at a long wooden table. His parents are discussing boring things as usual, and he wants desperately to leave, but his father insists that he finishes his meal.
He really just wants to go ride his horse and be alone, but he can't. They are going to have company after lunch, so he has to get ready to meet them after he ate. His mother had invited an old friend of hers over, and she is bringing along her son. The boy is a few years older than Draco, and Draco is supposed to entertain him. He really doesn't feel like doing anything of the sort. Draco has met this boy before, and doesn't like anything about him.
"They will be arriving in a few hours. I invited them to stay the weekend," Narcissa says, and begins to eat again.
"Remember that you have to appear at St. Mungo's for the fund raiser this evening," Lucius replies.
"Yes, dear, but I am sure you two can entertain them for a few hours. I haven't seen dear Luna for a few years, and it's so hard for her to get here," she replies, smiling sweetly at him.
Draco sighs heavily and moves his food around his plate. 'I don't understand why she invited them if she knew she was going to be gone tonight. I really am not in the
mood to entertain that idiot,' he grumblers silently.
"Draco! Don't play with your food," Narcissa scolds him.
The young wizard frowns and replies, "Yes, Mother," and begins desultorily to eat.
"They will be arriving soon, and you still need to get dressed," she reminds him.
Draco finishes eating a few moments later and excuses himself from the table. He walks to his chambers to dress. "I'd rather spend the day with Potter than that imbecile," he growls softly to himself.
After a few minutes, he returns and waits with his parents for their guest to arrive.
Suddenly, there are two pops, and their guests are there.
"Oh, this is going to be so much fun," Draco whispers, then walks over to met the guests..
