Legacy of Harry Potter

November 1994

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Harry had woken up a bit early today and had arrived in his office. As per his plan, he had two major things to accomplish today.

The first thing was to make public the knowledge about Hermione Granger taking up the Hufflepuff Ladyship and Luna Lovegood taking up the Ravenclaw Ladyship.

Along with this, he had decided to arrange for their proper accommodations. Obviously, they could not continue to live in the student dormitory. He had also himself decided to move from the chamber of secrets to his proper accommodation.

The four Hogwarts' founder had built for themselves their personal quarters for their accommodation. For now, it was hidden but Harry believed that time had come to reveal them back.

The second thing was to make the trip to ministry of magic and meet Peter Pettigrew. He had one thing to confirm after meeting the death eater.

His scheduled plan to visit to the ministry was in the evening. Amelia had departed early in the morning to take her charge back as DMLE head.

Harry had been busy writing in piece of parchment of his desk. It was the news article which was to be published in the newspapers about Hermione and Luna.

He had just finished his writing when a flurry flustered knocks on his door sounded in the office.

"Come in," said Harry with a frown as he could feel the tension behind those knocks.

The door was pushed open instantly and in walked Narcissa Black.

Her face was anxious with a lot of tension and pressure on it. Her steps were hurried as she closed the distance towards Harry's desk.

"Miss Black," Harry said in a questioning tone. "What is the matter?"

Narcissa took deep breaths, "Lord Potter... Dumbledore... he had played his card."

Harry raised his eyebrows wondering what could have caused Narcissa Black to panic so much.

Narcissa did not say anything and placed a newspaper on Harry's table. The name of the newspaper was 'The Magical Express' which was a small newspaper and not very wide in circulation.

A live image was plastered on the front page of the newspaper. 4 people were sitting behind a massive desk.

Molly Weasley was on the extreme left followed by Ron Weasley and Remus Lupin. Albus Dumbledore was on the extreme right.

Harry Potter, the title holder of 5 powerful house or the dark lord in disguise?

A piece of news... information has caused an uproar in the whole of Wizarding Britain and whose ripple effects would even be felt in the wider wizarding world.

Harry Potter's previous best friend have made shocking claims. Here is what he said.

"Harry... he is not the real Harry. We were best friends and we did everything together. I knew it from the beginning of the year. He never showed his wealth. But this year, he suddenly wore costly clothes and did powerful and evil magic."

"Harry would have never tortured those 4 Slytherin students. He was not Harry."

Although Mr. Ron Weasley's words may sound childish, they are not illogical.

Mr. Remus Lupin, who was a Defence Against Dark Arts professor previous year at Hogwarts and one of the closest friends of Mr. James Potter also had to add the following things.

"Harry... I met him for first time last year. Although, he was not aware of my friendship with James till the end of the year, we developed a pretty good relationship. Since, dementors had been stationed at Hogwarts that year and they had attacked Harry 2 times, he had wanted to learn the Patronus charm.

He was no doubt a genius student... a promising genius. Mastering a corporeal Patronus withing few months was no ordinary feat."

"Even so he definitely did not have the power he had shown in the past few days or the way he had tortured those 4 students or what he had shown in the Battle of Hogsmeade. He is a completely changed person."

Things do not end here. Molly Weasley one of the persons to whom Harry was very close to before these 'changes' also have to add few things.

"Harry... he was like another son to me. As soon as I met him for the first time, he did know nothing about the magical world, I knew I would be a mother to him."

"He was so pitiful and weak. He trusted me so much. He had even granted me access to withdraw funds from his trust vault but all of a sudden he distanced from us."

"He turned into a rich lord and treated us like a poor peasant... like we are some untouchable insects."

"I do not know what happened but Harry is not Harry."

While all these statements raised a lot of questions, it gives us no answer.

But Albus Dumbledore has some answers and these answers have kicked up a storm.

Harry was midway through reading the article when Minerva walked inside the office. She like Narcissa was also in hurry and anxious.

"Harry," she almost sobbed. "A mayhem had ensued in Hogwarts. Students are running from here... parents have assembled just outside Hogwarts boundaries. Only the wards are keeping them for barging in."

"The delegates from the other two schools have departed… they were not willing to spend any extra time here."

She added, "They have said that if even after all this, we are able conduct the tournament they will send their participant… but only because of the magical contract."

Harry did not raise his head.

"Let them go," said Harry. "If the muggle born also want to depart, make proper arrangements for them too."

"Hogwarts is suspended for a week," Harry added further. "We will inform everyone of any further happenings through letters."

He did not say anything more and went back to reading what Dumbledore had spoken.
