Pansy knew now that they were dating and it made Harry very happy. She was extremely supportive, even wanting to aid on their quest to defeat the Dark Lord. Harry wasn't sure how to explain the truth to Pansy, that the Dark Lord wasn't who she thought it was. That they were currently a part of a corrupt institution that categorizes children. Training them to become perfect pawns. And behind it all, the ring leader, the most powerful wizard in all of the UK.

Pansy looked at him and Draco, who also seemed at a loss for words. Harry sighed and said "if you want to know the full extent of what we are dealing with I will tell you, but  we have to do so privately," Pansy nodded. Harry needed to make sure Remus and Sirius were there as well. Harry knew he had to make clear who was an enemy and who was a friend. "Meet us at the Room of Requirements this evening 5 sharp, don't be alarmed if there are other people, I may invite others," he instructed. "Of course," she responded "thank you for being willing."

With Pansy's interest and willingness to help, Harry figured he might as well inform his own friends about it too. Though he suspected that Hermione was onto him after the skirmish the night previous. Ron just deserved to know he had housed a criminal for 12 years. He invited them both, promising to explain everything.

Draco smiled at him "great job, thanks to we might get more allies." Harry frowned slightly, "I don't like keeping them in the dark, they do not deserve that. They saved my life more times than I can count." Draco hugged him, "this will work out," he said determined. This regime will finally come to an end, the mindless bias will lessen and more people will become friends.

After classes, Harry headed straight to Remus's classroom. Walking into the classroom, he saw the professor examining some papers at a desk. Harry went up to him and whispered " Bring padfoot to the room of requirements at 5 PM sharp," Remus nodded. To make it seem like he was there to converse with the teacher he said "thanks for that tip about chocolate, it really helped me out yesterday." Remus looked confused, then realized Harry was trying to keep suspicion low and ward off possible eavesdroppers. "It was no problem, remember 70% dark chocolate works best." He winked at Harry.

Smiling Harry took his leave now he had about an hour to think about how to explain that Dumbledore was evil to his friends. Or that a mass murderer was actually innocent. Or that the first two years of Hogwarts were a lie. This might be harder than he thought.

At 5 PM Harry waited in the hole by the room of requirements, and like he told them everyone showed up. Even Sirius who was in his dog form. Walking in front of the wall a few times, a door appeared. It led to a living room like space. Shutting the door behind them, Harry began. "Thank you all for coming, I know you have lots of questions, but please hold off for a couple minutes as I explain the reality of the situation."

He proceeds to tell them about Dumbledore, Tom Riddle, Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. The black dog revealed himself to be Sirius. At first everyone was afraid. Then they remembered that the real murderer had been captured. "So Harry, what can a couple of kids, a wanted man and teacher do to fix this situation?"

"If I may answer Granger..." Draco intercepts "Slytherin would be a good place to get allies since they already don't like Dumbledore." Pansy nodded, "we can probably get some logical Ravenclaw us as well, because they will follow who they deem to be smart, generally speaking," she says.

"However, our first step is meeting with Tom Riddle and asking him to be our ally. It will be important to have his support in order to expose Dumbledore."

"Absolutely, sounds great," Pansy says. "I agree as well," Hermione states. Everyone else agrees also. "Well that settles it. I was planning for this coming weekend on Saturday night after lights."

"How will we get past filch and peeves?" Hermione questions. Draco smirks " I found a spell for you all to learn called 'Camilio'."

Sorry for the minimal posting, school has gotten in the way of my posting. The final weeks are upon me so there may be quite a few more delays. I hope you enjoyed the Chapter. I wish you all good luck on finals. And I hope you have a great day! I love you all!
