The Truth

A Great Burden

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are sitting at breakfast, three days before Christmas holidays, in their 5th year. They are all chatting about the strange door Harry keeps dreaming about when Umbridge walks in looking smug. Everyone watches her go up to Dumbledore. After a few seconds of small chatting, Dumbledores face pales, but then he nods his head.

Dumbledore stands up and announces, "Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, all the Weasley children, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood, please meet me in my office."

Harry looks at his two best friends, "You don't think they've found out about the D.A do you?"

"I don't think so, we would know if they did and there would be more of us being called." Hermione said, though she looked worried. They all stood and made their way to Dumbledores office to see the Minister of Magic, the Order (Including a large black dog), Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall and Umbridge waiting on them.

"Seeing as its a little crowded in my office, I was wondering if Harry would mind talking us to the Room of Requirements so we could all get comfortable." Professor Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.

"Um...sure." Harry said, shocked that Dumbledore knew about the room and that Harry knew about the room.

Everyone followed Harry to the 7th floor. Harry paced three times thinking, "We need somewhere to have a large meeting." When the door opened, everyone walked in to a large room with loads of chairs and couches, blankets and a few side tables. There was a large fire place with a warm fire already going. Everyone piled in and took seats.

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat together on a Gold and Red couch. The Weasley twins were sitting on benbags in front of the trio. Ginny was sitting between Bill and Charlie on another couch that was a odd shade if purple. Remus, Tonks, and Madeye took another couch with the large black dog at their feet. Kingsley and the Minister sat together on a small couch and Mr. And Mrs Weasley sat together. Professors McGonagall, Snape, and Umbridge sat down in chairs. Neville and Luna also took to a small couch together. Professor Dumbledore sat in a chair in front of everyone and addressed the room.

"Professor Umbridge has found a stack of books that she believes will prove Harry and myself have been lying to you all. I have looked over these books and I fear they may be speaking the truth. The first 3 and a half I have worked out a spell that will make it so the information in the books is in your mind. However, once we get to the 3rd task of the Twi-Wizard Tournament, we should start reading what the book says aloud. Shall we began?"

"Wait, these books are about me?" Harry asked.

"Yes my boy. We have Harry Potter and the Phalosapers Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phenix, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince." Severus paled at this. "And, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." (All Harry Potter books belong to J.K. Rowling)

"Do we have to read them?" Harry asked, thinking of his life with the Dursleys might be in there.

"Yes we do! I will prove to everyone that you are nothing but a lier!" Umbridge yelled.

"I do not lie! Fine, do the spells and let's get this over with...sir." Harry said, adding the 'sir' After Hermione kicked him.

Dumbledore smiled and waved his wand over the first four books and then waved it over everyone in the room. Everyone fell into a trance as the knowledge in the books filled their head. After it was over, Mrs. Weasley stood up, along with Remus and both looked at Harry.

"How dare they!" Mrs. Weasley screamed!

"Why didn't you tell us how they were treating you?" Remus asked, his voice more like a low growl.
