DISCLIAMER: I don't own any of the characters and make no money from
writing this
Dumbledore sat dejected in his office. He really was getting on in his
years, even though most people thought he was still the young hero who had
defeated the last Dark Lord. Ever since the Tri-wizard Tournament he had
felt like an overstretched elastic band and now he felt even more
stretched. Lord Voldermort had mercilessly tortured his spy, Severus Snape,
for arriving late at his "birthday party". However the Dark Lord wasn't
stupid enough to waste on of his cleverest followers, even if he wasn't the
most loyal. So Snape was now an exremely valuable spy for the Light. Being
the cunning person he was, Snape had managed to pick up a few details about
Lord Voldermort that were enough to scare even Godric Gryffindor. On
Snape's request Dumbledore had done a parental test on the Boy-Who-Lived in
complete secrecy, using one of Harry's blood samples from the hospital
wing. The result was more horrifying than shocking.
The most powerful wizard alive sat at his desk staring at the piece of
parchment before him that clearly stated the impossible. How was it
possible? Lily must have known and if she did she would have come to him
straight away. However Lily might have been mistaken, thought the boy was
James', or maybe she was too scared to tell. Either way, Harry wasn't a
Potter.
Snape had taken the truth extremely lightly unlike the rest of the Order of
The Phoenix's council. He was probably expecting it all along. Now the
truth was out there was only one other question on everyone's mind, "what
do we do about it". Dumbledore was sure that Harry knew nothing of it and
probably won't unless someone broke it to him, which was highly unlikely,
as there were only 50 people on the light side who knew. However it was a
lot harder to say the same for Lord Voldermort as he had sources everywhere
now and it was only a matter of time before he put two and two together.
A loud crash from his fireplace and an extremely undignified, sooty Snape
climbing to his feet loudly interrupted Dumbledore's train of thought.
Snape didn't even try to even appear remotely respectable and immediately
burst into an explanation,
"Dumbledore! I just been to a Death Eater meeting and. and . he knows! He
knows all about it! He knows Harry is his son! Found out yesterday. you've
got to hurry he's attacking Privet Drive any minute!" Dumbledore's face
grew dark,
