My Many Mates |Harry Potter|

Remembering Things That Were Long Forgotten

Remus seemed startled that Harry was now awake, "urm, y-yes, everything's fine Harry! I-I just wanted to tell you that breakfast is ready." He quickly got up and began walking away before Harry could tell him that he knew he was hiding something from him.

Harry got up from bed, he noticed the room had changed colours, what was once a black and grey covered room was now covered in red and gold, representing the house that Harry's in.

He walked over to his drawers. Suddenly, memories he didn't recall appeared in his head. The last one bothered him a lot. Harry was sitting with Dudley, which surprised him because Dudley usually hates him because of how strange he is.

Harry asked, "what did you get from your friends?" Dudley smiled proudly, "I got two magical card decks! How incredible is that?"

Harry smiled, "that must be nice, I got multiple magical figurines, they were fifteen different dragons!" Dudley looked jealous but didn't say anything, "that must be lucky, I kinda don't want these cards."

Harry plopped a bag in front of Dudley, "here, take them, I know these are what you want, I want the magical cards, those I wanted."

Dudley started tearing up, "a-are you certain? It's your gift after all." Harry told him, "I don't want to see you jealous of what I got, you deserve it more than me anyways, you don't have many friends who don't understand you."

Dudley hugged Harry, he was smiling, Dudley loved that he was always very kind, that he showed that he could read Dudley and helped him, it made sense, they were cousins after all.

Harry didn't know why this memory was here, but he continued to listen to it. Dudley told him, "do you think someday we can see a world of peace?"

Harry nodded, "after we defeat Dumbledore we will!" Dudley chuckled, "of course. He's such an evil bastard!"

Suddenly the front door burst open, they could hear it from their shared room. Petunia screamed, Harry and Dudley got up, and that's when Harry realised that his cousin was much thinner than what he remembered.

Vernon came into the room, "hide quickly!" The two hid away in the secret room that leads down to the basement. They heard Vernon being attacked, suddenly they heard the voice that they had learned to fear.

Dumbledore was there, but why was he after them? It didn't make sense. Next, they heard an explosion below them and they fell from their spot.

Dudley got in front of Harry, "you won't kill him!" Dumbledore's eyes weren't twinkling like Harry was used to seeing, he cast an oblivate upon Dudley.

Harry's eyes widened, "d-Dudley?" Dumbledore quickly forced a potion down Dudley's throat. Harry knew that it was a potion that will make him remember things that never happened.

Dudley looked over at Harry and screeched, pushing him down to the ground, "you are a freak! A freak! Don't act all caring for me!"

Harry started crying, then he saw Dumbledore do the same thing he did to Dudley to him.

As the memory faded Harry realised that he needs to save Dudley. Those weren't his parents! Those are false parents!

Harry quickly got on his clothes and began running towards the Floo Network. He pulled out the floo from the pot as Sirius came in, "what's up pup? You going somewhere?"

Harry told him, "I need to save my cousin! He's been orphaned for years! Those weren't his real parents!"

Sirius was in awe, "Harry? Are you certain?" Harry nodded, "yes! I just got a memory! Dumbledore killed his parents and changed him to hate me!"

Harry used the floo, not caring if Sirius didn't believe him, "4 Privet Drive!" He came out of the chimney. Dudley was sitting on the ground, sobbing.

Harry picked him up and quickly flooed back to Black Manor. Dudley looked up at Harry, "where-where did you take me you freak!"

Harry told him, "Dudley, I don't want to see you upset, you're my cousin, after all, a cousin who was orphaned by the same man I was."

Dudley shouted, "but my parents are still alive!" Harry yelled, "well they aren't your parents! I know for a fact!"

Dudley's eyes became cloudy, Harry knew right then and there that Dudley was now starting to regain memories.

Harry saw his eyes become clear, he looked up with tears in his eyes, "h-Harry! I'm so sorry for how I've treated you over the past few years! I was such a twat!"

Harry smiled and hugged him, "it's fine, you weren't yourself. I'm just glad to have you back." Sirius and Remus came into the room, Remus asked, "what's all this yelling ab-Dudley?!"

Sirius smiled, "ah, you could've told me your cousin was a pretty famous student of Durmstrang and I would've come with you."

Harry nodded, "my apologies about that Sirius." Dudley came out of his hug, his glamour coming off and revealing his beautiful face.

Dudley asked, "you're from...the Black family right? It's a pleasure of finally meeting you, sir." He held out his hand to shake Sirius'. Sirius was hesitant, but accepted it, "yup, it's a pleasure of meeting you Dudley Dursley, or should I say, Egon Vogel?"

Harry remembered that was the name that Dudley was called in the visions. His uncle was a German half-blood wizard while his aunt was an English muggle-born witch.

Egon responded, "you'll be nice to be around, I can tell. Also, there will be the Triwizard tournament with Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Hogwarts this year, so be prepared for that Harry."

Harry smiled, "of course Egon." Harry knew there were others he's met during his time with Egon. He recalled there being a Viktor Krum among them.

Unknowingly, letters began forming on the mates part of his birth certificate. It read:

Soulmates: Viktor Krum, Ron Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy, Tom Riddle
