Harry's POV:

I had just finished the Triwizard Tournament a few days earlier when I felt as though something inside me was trying to fight its way out. Feeling as I was I decided to visit Madam Pomfrey to get a checkup I found that she wasn't in the hospital wing so decided to check the staff rooms.

When I got there, the door to the staff room was open and there was yelling coming from inside. Deciding that now was not a good time I decided to just turn and leave until I heard someone who sounded like Professor McGonagall scream my name so I decided to stay in the shadows and listen..

"I'm telling you Albus that boy is gaining more power ever since that night in the graveyard and soon you'll have to tell him the truth" said McGonagall

"Minerva I will not tell him ,if I do then we will lose our biggest pawn in this game of Cat and Mouse against Voldemort. That boy is under my control, he doesn't question me, and if he begins to learn his heritage than I'll just obliviate him and replace the blocks I placed on him that night, when we left him at the Dursley's" said the voice I now knew as Dumbledores.

"Albus that child has a right to know who he is and if you wont do it then I will" McGonagall screamed

"Minerva I forbid you from telling him and if you do then I'll make you disappear and make it look as though Voldemort did it... am I understood" threatened Dumbledore

"Okay ,Albus, you win"

"Good now you may return to your office"

With that I heard I a loud pop coming from the room and a few minutes later out came Professer McGonagall looking absolutely defeated and saddened. Deciding to find out what they were talking about at a later stage I stalked down the passage way to attend my next class.

McGonagall's Pov:

After that argument with Albus I left the staff room and I thought I saw movement in the shadows near the door but when I looked again I saw nothing. Deciding that it was most probably a ghost going through the wall I set off for my office deciding that I needed time to think.

When I got there I made sure to put up privacy charms and headed to my desk where I just starred at the photo on my desk.

"I'm so sorry I cant tell you the secrets of your family...Harry...I have always wanted to tell you but Dumbledore has always forbade me from telling you...I don't care what he does to me but I can't risk him doing something to you...you are the only real family I have left and I can't lose you...I just can't"

Afterwards I couldn't stop myself and just started crying uncontrollably.
