Harry Potter: Truth in Revelations

Disc: I own nothing.

Ch 1 Revelations and Plans

After the events of the DoM, Harry is dragged back to Albus' office and the prophesy is reveled to him. The major results in said office are already recorded elsewhere. J.K.R. has given her interpretation of the events, before and after. These interpretations are quite astonishing, we are to believe that a young boy will be able to defeat, or at least fight against, a wizard with 50+ years more experience, relying on nothing more than the power of love. This concept alone should give us pause. This young man has been given no special training, been put in a home knowing no love, left totally unaware of his heritage, thrown into lessons with a man who hates him with a passion, and has had to rely on only his bookish friend for any special knowledge he has gained. Let's not forget his life has been threatened every year he has spent in the safest school in Brittan.

My accounting of these events, like many other 'what if's', will take a different turn. In this tale we shall allow for the premise that he is not the naive little boy everyone thinks him to be. We shall allow for the fact, that anyone with a modicum of sense could readily see the manipulations and outright lies that have lead to this point in his life. Well let us get on with this story, shall we?

Harry having just returned from trashing the Headmaster's office had many things to think about. His grief for the loss of Sirius being foremost in his mind, who to blame, why he had not seen, these were questions that need answers. Harry contemplated the events that led to this point, and the only conclusion he could draw was, Dumbledore. This man had been responsible for his parents going into hiding, his placement with the Dursley's, Sirius' incarceration, his lack of knowledge about the Wizarding World, his many adventures, and most recently Sirius' death. Yes Voldemort played a part in it all, but no one would convince Harry that the Headmaster had no idea what was happening. This revelation lead Harry to examine other aspects of his life here, his just happening to meet the Weasley's at the train station, meeting Hermione on the train, their adventures (clues just being stumbled on at the right time), his scar being extra sensitive after Occlumency lessons, and the rash of pathetic teachers in defense (Lupin being the exception); these all led to his current position and with some introspection he could tell he was being shaped as a one use weapon. These facts did not set well with our young hero. He made the decision to do something about it, but what to do? He knew he would need help, he couldn't count on his best friends to not run to the 'old goat' so it would have to be people outside of his normal sphere of friends. This decision made he went to sleep to ponder the ways he could accomplish this.

Harry, after a good night's rest, had found what his first course of action would be. Leaving Gryffindor Tower, he made his way to the Room of Requirement. Pacing the required three times he entered the room. There, just as he required were scrolls on ministry and other tracking charms and their diction and removal, as well as, books on protections, for home and person. There were also books on many other subjects that he would need, some of which were no longer available to the general public. He also found a scroll on copying charms for books and scrolls; this would allow him to make copies that he could take out of the room to study later. His first act was to do a scan as outlined in the scrolls, to detect the charms and such he had been placed under, as well as listing the person to do so. What he found was enough to make him scream in fury.

The list is as follows:

Tracking: 2 wand 2 personal by Ministry and Albus Dumbledore

Magic detection: 2 wand 1 personal by Ministry and Albus Dumbledore

Magic recording: 2 wand by Ministry and Albus Dumbledore

Learning inhibitor: 2 personal by Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore

Memory charms: 6 personal by Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Barty Crouch Jr., and Molly Weasley

Emotional charms: 2 personal by Albus Dumbledore and Molly Weasley

Power Blocks: 3 personal by Lily Potter, Tom Riddle, and Albus Dumbledore

Power Inhibitor: 1 wand by Albus Dumbledore

Limited Confundus charm: 1 personal (tied to emotional, inhibitor, and broken loyalty charms) by Albus Dumbledore

Loyalty charm: 1 broken by Albus Dumbledore

Heritage suppression: 1 personal by Albus Dumbledore

Magical gift blocker: 1 personal by Albus Dumbledore

Residual potion trace: 1 gradual effect love potion directed toward Ginevra Weasley by Molly Weasley and Ronald Weasley

Hate and fear inducing charm: 1 personal directed towards self from Dursley family by Albus Dumbledore

Mental Bridge: 1 by Voldemort (from failed killing curse) note: only mildly block able by regular Occlumancy shields and aided by mental exhaustion or stress

Wards: 2 personal by Lilly Potter and Albus Dumbledore

1 love based blood protection ward \ Lilly Potter

1 Mail Filter redirected to Albus Dumbledore \ Albus Dumbledore

Needless to say, Harry was rather put out by these results. He knew that the protection ward was at minimal strength because there was no love between Petunia and himself. Also, Voldemort now had his blood so the protection was not as good as it had been even at less power. The mail ward now made since, where were all the fan mail letters and such that a normal hero would have received. He wondered if they were in storage or just destroyed. Just one more thing to hold against 'the old goat', all of the others contributed to the learning problems he seemed to have. They made it hard to remember spells, cast them, and control his emotional state. The love potion was rather disturbing, he guessed that the Weasley matriarch was trying to guarantee a good match for her daughter; however it was a very underhanded way to do it. Also, Ron seemed to be a willing accomplice, given his jealousy of Harry's fame it wasn't hard to see.

Harry set about using the scrolls to undo the enchantments and change the mail ward. It took several hours to accomplish this, and by lunch, he managed to fix all of them. The tracking charms he simply moved to several quills he had with him. These would prove useful if he wanted to fool people with his location. When the blocks were off his memories he cried at the revelations he received, he had caught Molly with the potion at one time,

Snape's attempt to block out his ill treatment, Albus' manipulation and threats to the Dursley family, and Crouch's attempt to control him with the Imperious and Crusio curse. The blocks on his power, two of which were understandable, were harder to remove. His mother's was to help control accidental magic, Voldie's was from the curse, but Dumbledore's was just inexcusable. When they came off he went through a euphoric stage from the rush of power now at his command. The other blocks were removed and he would have to do more tests for his heritage and magical gifts, but he was happy with the results. Harry proceeded to lunch to avoid suspicion; however he was cautious about scanning for more love potion. After lunch he went back to the ROR and copied all the books and scrolls, to take with him. Having overlooked the fact he wouldn't be able to carry all them back with him to the dorm. Thinking on this problem he decided to call for the help of one of his most loyal and some what devious friends.
