The Truth Comes To Light

Chapter 3

Harry was doing chores that the Dursley's had left for him to do when Hedwig returned. He smiled at her, relieved that she was not harmed and stroked her head. She cooed softly before showing him the letter attached to her foot. He took the letter and she flew back up to his room to sleep possibly. He opened the letter and read through it.

He was relieved again at the contents and immediately stopped what he was doing. He got up and dusted himself off some before he headed towards the fireplace. He grabbed some floo powder that he kept hidden away and called out, "Voldemort's study in Riddle Manor." before stepping into the flames.

Harry had landed in a heap in Voldemort's study which caused Voldemort himself to cover his mouth to keep from laughing. Harry grumbled as he dusted himself off, "Dammit, I hate flooing places. I can never land right." He then noticed Voldemort, who had gotten control over his laughter, and nodded to him, "Um.. hello." The Dark Lord rolled his eyes, "Sit down Potter and lets get this over with." Harry grimaced but sat down. That's when he noticed how young and human Voldemort looked, "You look so young.. and human!"

Voldemort snorted, "Oh really? I hadn't known. Now, Tell me. What happened exactly?" Harry sighed and started telling Voldemort about meeting Sera in the white wisteria forest, talking with her about her demise which he heard Voldemort growl slightly, making him stop. "She was still alive?! And had given birth before he finally killed her?!" He suddenly looked at Harry with slight hope in his eyes, "My daughter.. is she..?" Harry frowned and shook his head, "I was getting to that."

He then continued to tell him about how Lily, his mother, was the little girl and was placed with muggles by Dumbledore and how the prophecy was fake which caused Voldemort himself to kill his own daughter without knowing it. Harry took a breath and watched for Voldemort's reaction.

Voldemort was in complete and utter shock. His mind was reeling and he finally released a sob. He had killed his little girl without knowing it was her and almost killed his grandson and kept trying to kill him all because of the power hungry old fool Dumbledore.

He cried out in rage which startled and scared Harry slightly before calming down some. He sighed sadly before looking at the raven haired boy across from him, "Harry, I'm so sorry. If I had known.. I would've never done that. I would've faked yours and your parents deaths and taken you to a safe place. Please forgive me."

Harry looked at the dark lord.. no, he looked at his grandfather before nodding, "I forgive you. We were both tricked by Dumbledore for many years. Maybe now, we make things right and give him exactly what he deserves." Tom looked at his grandson and nodded with a smirk, "I agree Harry. Does this mean you're on my side then?" Harry smiled and nodded, "Yes. It does." Tom smiled, really truly smiled at him, "Good."

They then started to talk about ways to end that old fools plans and his life for good, not knowing they were being watch by a mother and daughter on the spirit plain. They both looked at each other and smiled, knowing that everything was going to work out in the end.
