The Real Truth
Series 3 Chapter 19

Harry made his way back to the Gryffindor common room, when he entered his magic must've been giving off a deadly vibe because everyone suddenly turned towards him, alarmed. Hermione rushed towards him, forgetting her book.

"What happened?!" She asked.

"Nothing much. Dumbledore just tried to lecture me on how I shouldn't be dating Draco and tried to use the Potters to guilt me into breaking up with him." Harry spat.

Neville, along with some others who overheard what Harry said, gasped.

"But Dumbledore isn't the type to use guilt." Neville said.

Harry turned to his friend, "He's tried it multiple times with me. Even sent a few compulsions my way before. Dumbledore's not the man everyone thinks he is."

Harry's magic started to leak out and Hermione started to pull him away.

"C'mon Harry. You're obviously cranky and we should get to bed.

Begrudgingly, Harry followed her up to his dorm, cast the usual spells around his curtains, and threw his invisibility cloak over himself. Hermione left to her dorm, meeting Harry (who shadow traveled) there. He cast the same spells on her curtains and threw the cloak over Hermione as well. They didn't know if any of her dorm mates would be there when they went back and they didn't want to risk being seen. Hermione turned the time turner and they flew back to when Draco left. Still under the invisibility cloak Harry pulled Hermione along with him to Malfoy Manor. They appeared in the back room where Voldemort was standing. As soon as the entered he spun around, wand raised, and alert. This confirmed Harry's theory of his magic being menacing. Harry pulled the cloak off of them and shrunk it, stuffing it in his pocket. Hermione dropped her glamour.

"I thought I told you to control your anger. What did you do?" Voldemort said sternly.

"I didn't do anything. Dumbledore just lectured me about why not to date Draco and tried to guilt me into breaking up with him. I'm just pissed, it's not like I killed anyone."

"Your magic tells a different story."

Harry rolled his eyes, "I kept it under control around Dumbledore. He just thinks I didn't like the news about Draco and that I'm upset about it, nothing else."

Voldemort nodded, "Very well, speaking of Draco should be getting here with Lucius at any moment."

Just then Lucius and Draco apparated in. Harry could tell that they were both slightly put off by the state that Harry's magic was still in but Voldemort didn't pay that any mind. With a wave of Voldemort's wand both Harry and Draco were handed a set of robes.

"These are the ones you'll be wearing. Now, do you remember what we went over?"

"Yeah." Harry said, Draco just nodded.

"Good. You're being announced in half an hour." With that said Voldemort, Lucius, and Hermione left.

Harry took off his robes and put on the new ones. They were a deep green with silver lining and detailing, classic Slytherin Robes. He could feel Draco looking at him but he focused on changing.
