The Real Truth
Series 3 Chapter 3
Harry and Hermione made their way down to the Great Hall for breakfast early. Dumbledore had said he would do something about the rumors and they didn't want to miss a single bit of it. Once everyone was there, right before the food was to appear, Dumbledore stood.
"Before we eat this morning there are a few things I would like to address. It has come to my attention that a certain string of rumors has been going around the school as of lately. These rumors are ones that we've had before as well as new." Some kids started whispering, "As most of us know, fifth years and up, that there was an incident a few years ago regarding the Chamber of Secrets. During this time it was assumed that Harry Potter was the heir to Slytherin and that he was behind the attacks. Later he discovered the real one behind the attacks was Tom Marvolo Riddle, who some of us may know as Lord Voldemort."
Dumbledore paused as many kids, especially the younger ones, broke out whispering and turning their heads to glance at Harry or the Headmaster, "Now this rumor, that Harry is the heir to Slytherin, has started back up again since the recent coming to light of the Potters having adopted him. This leads me to the new rumor. That Tom Riddle is Harry's father. So I am telling you all now, that Harry Potter is, in fact, Hadrian Morfin Slytherin, the dark lord's son."
Everyone now looked at Harry fearfully, those by him scooted away ever so slightly, except for his friends. Harry was surprised Dumbledore knew his full name, and that his middle name was Morfin. He hadn't even thought about his great uncle. He'd died a long time ago.
"Now, now, remain calm. Yes, Harry may be his son, but he is also the one who will get rid of Voldemort once and for all. We all have a choice of who we want to be, our family does not define who we are. Harry has shown countless times that he is not his father and has earned all of our trust. Nothing has changed so we shouldn't change how we act around him."
The people that had scooted away slowly scooted back and most of the looks ceased to exist. Dumbledore sat back down and with a wave of his hand food appeared onto the tables. While he was eating, Harry noticed that the Slytherins were still staring so he turned around.
"What? Never seen the heir to Slytherin in Gryffindor before?" He asked with a smirk.
Hermione laughed but quickly covered it up. Blaise and Pansy exchanged a look. They glanced from Draco, who was wearing a big smirk, to Harry and back again, as if asking for answers. Harry noticed this and raised an eyebrow. Pansy's eyes widened, Blaise had no visible reaction. Harry turned back around to find a large pile of food on his plate that had been empty.
"You have to eat all of it." Hermione told him.
Harry rolled his eyes but smiled at his sister's antics.
"Draco," Pansy asked in a low voice, "You and Hadrian-"
"Yes, Harry is Hadrian." He told her.
"How could Harry Potter be the dark lord's son?" Theo asked.
"You better not say stuff like that Theo." Blaise told him, "Otherwise he'll release Chaos on you."
Theo's eyes widened, as well as the rest of the Death Eaters at the table.
"His mate is really lucky." Mulciber jr. said, "I mean, they get to have the dark lord's son."
