Secrets In The Castle

4) Not What Everything Seems

12 Grimmwald Place
(Five Years Later)

3rd Person P.O.V- In just five short years a lot has changed. Albus and Minivera have reshaped the Order, secretly taking out their own that they knew would be future problems and so their trusted few dwindled down to a very small list (Aberforth Dumbledore, Alastor Moody, Arabella Figg, Arthur Weaselly, Bill Weaselly, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Molly Weaselly, Marlene McKinnon, Mundungus Fletcher, Nymphadora Tonks, Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, Rubeus Hagrid, Sirius Black and Severus Snape)

Damian- Sneaking back into mine and Harry's room.

Harry- (Raises Eyebrow) Hearing the creak of the bedroom door and the soft click as it shuts again. "Where were you?" Glancing up, I catch the slight glimmer as the invisibility cloak falls to floor at Damian's feet. (Frowns Deeply) "Whats wrong?"

Damian- "I just heard my so-called parents talking as they were leaving to head back to Hogwarts. They are putting plans into place regarding me and someone named Dante." Quickly putting the cloak away as I stumble over and climb into bed beside my cousin. (Mutters Quietly) "Harry, I think we've been lied to and I really need answers to who I am."

Harry- Seeing the look of utter betrayal on his face spoke volumes. (Nods) "Alright." Practically being raised by three of the Marauders you learn a thing or two.

(Twenty Minutes Later)

Sirius- The Order, including the two banes of our existence has finally left. (Sighs Heavily) "Shall we go see if our pups are asleep?"

Remus- (Hums Tiredly) Walking upstairs and into the boys room, we are suddenly entrapped. (Growls) "Cubs, what is the meaning of this?"

Sirius- I admire the trap we are held in and glance over at the two ten year olds who have us at wand point. (Frowns) "As amazed as I am, I'm also worried. What brought this on?"

Damian- Getting an encouraging nod from Harry, I step forward. "I want...no, I deserve answers." Narrowing my eyes at the two who have helped to raise me. "Who am I really and where are my real parents?"

Remus- Both Sirius and I look at the boy in shock. "How did you find out?"

Damian- Walking over to my bed, I pull out the cloak from my trunk. "I overheard the Headmaster and Headmistress. Not a lot, but enough to gather they aren't my real parents and they plan to use me for something."

Sirius- (Sighs Heavily) Holding unto the ropes that hold us entrapped as I close my eyes tightly.

Remus- (Glares Half-Heartedly) "You gave them the cloak."

Sirius- (Whimpers) "I believed it would be useful to them."

Remus- (Growls Lowly) "Oh, it was useful alright."

Harry- Seeing as they were stalling, I send a stinging hex at them both. "Answers, now!"

Sirius- Remus and I share mirrored startled looks of pain. "Okay...okay. We know who you really are." Looking at the boy sadly. "Your real name is Dante Xavier Gaunt. Your father is Tom Marvollo Gaunt and your mother was Mavis Alicia Fay-Gaunt."

Damian- (Frowns Deeply) "Is and was? What happened?"

Remus- It pained us to tell him any of this. "The night you were taken. Your father was challenged by Albus and your mother was killed by Minivera."

Damian- With a wave of my wand the cage is released. "Can I ever use my birth name or do I have to continue using this cursed name given to me by them?"

Sirius- Once Rem and I are released we rush over and kneel beside Dante. "The adoption paperwork was never officially processed, you do not belong to them in any shape or form. You still belong to your father and are very much a Gaunt in every way." (Smiles Proudly) Being mindful of the wand, I wrap my arms around the boy hugging him close.

Remus- Harry sets his wand down and I immediately hug him, bringing him between Siri and I. "We love you boys so much."

Harry- (Smiles Coyly) "We love you to."

Sirius- Running my fingers through the boys hair in a soothing manor. "You boys are gonna bring change to our world."
