I don't own Harry Potter. This story is posted on a website called Hogwarts Extreme, or HEX, for short. I'm a member under the name Lunastar1981, so please no claims or plagiarism. Lunastar1981 and Yamikaykamotou are the same person.

This story encompasses the last part of the OotP movie, the HBP book, and the beginning of the DH book. I try to stay true to the books, but the possession scene in the fifth movie was too good to pass up. I know there's at least one person who's been waiting for this story and I hope he or she is not disappointed when it's complete.

Chapter One- The Truth

Harry gasped as he felt Voldemort sliding his way into his mind, controlling his body. He crumpled to the floor of the Atrium, trying to fight back against the dark wizard's intrusion. But, Voldemort was too strong. He felt his mouth moving on its own and heard his voice speak only it didn't quite sound like it. It was more like Harry's voice and Voldemort's speaking together with Harry's tones easier to hear than Voldemort's soft ones.

"You've lost, old man," Harry/Voldemort said; a line that confused Harry. What was Voldemort talking about? Did he mean that he had successfully possessed Harry and that the only way to stop him was to kill Harry? Dumbledore would never do that. Harry fought back as he pondered over the meaning of the statement as well as Voldemort's intentions.

Suddenly, with his thoughts dwelling on Voldemort, images appeared to Harry in his mind's eye. They were all about Dumbledore, but not the Dumbledore that Harry knew. He saw a scheming, manipulative man. He really was forming an army, only it wasn't just against the Ministry, but against Voldemort too. The plan was to eliminate Voldemort before taking over the Ministry with Harry being at the head of his army.

Then, a whole new set of images and thoughts flickered through his mind. They concerned Dumbledore, the prophecy, and him. The prophecy that Harry had removed and that had gotten smashed was a false prophecy devised by Dumbledore, created by him, and placed in the Hall of Prophecy with the same enchantments as the other prophecies that resided there. Dumbledore then took a personal interest in Harry in order to manipulate him to fulfill the false prophecy. The real prophecy, as heard by Snape did state of a baby boy being born in July and Voldemort marking the boy as his equal, but that was where the similarities ended. The true one, whose whereabouts were unknown, spoke of the Dark Lord rising in power with the one he marked by his side. Voldemort wasn't as dark as people believed, though he did murder a lot of people. In short, Dumbledore used Harry for his plans to take over the Wizarding World and to put Muggles in their rightful place. Dumbledore used Harry.

Harry felt Voldemort leave his body, but the truth he had just witnessed stayed with him. He felt his heart harden and fill with hate toward Dumbledore. He had been used and had been manipulated to defeat the man he was actually supposed to be working with! Plus, Professor Snape was actually Voldemort's spy and tricked Dumbledore into believing that Snape had reformed! Everything that Harry had ever known had been turned around and his true destiny had been revealed.

He heard lots of voices and he opened his eyes to see Dumbledore, his nose inches from Harry's. He wanted to back away from the headmaster, jump to his feet, and go to Voldemort to declare his support, but his body ached from the battle with the Death Eaters and hitting the floor during the possession.

"Harry, are you all right?" Dumbledore asked. Harry managed a nod as he slowly sat up. He saw lots of wizards and witches in the Atrium, most notably the Minister himself. Harry also noticed that Bellatrix and Voldemort were gone, but not before being seen by everyone there.

Harry was sent to Dumbledore's office by Portkey to await the headmaster's arrival. He sat in the chair he normally occupied and stared at the carpet to gather and organize his thoughts. So, Dumbledore's the real bad guy, my enemy. It's Voldemort to whom I should be loyal. The real prophecy says I should help Voldemort rise to power. Dumbledore is trying to stop Voldemort from succeeding so that he can take control of the Ministry. Snape is Voldemort's man, not Dumbledore's. I wonder what else about me is a lie. Maybe I should be in Slytherin and not Gryffindor, for instance.

Dumbledore appeared in the fireplace, took the baby Fawkes out of his pocket and put him on the bed of ash beneath the perch, and finally sat behind his desk, surveying Harry in that way he had. He started to speak, but Harry's thoughts about the last five years of his life blocked it out. He knew what he had to do before leaving school and after leaving for the summer. The things he needed to do at school can be done once the old man stopped speaking.

At last, silence reigned and Harry was aware that Dumbledore was waiting for him to speak; he didn't let him down. "Professor, I have a request," he said, keeping the hate out of his voice and sounding just like he always did.

"Anything, Harry," he replied.

"I want to be re-sorted right now. I will finish this year in Gryffindor should the hat sort me into a different house." He had a feeling that he was in the wrong House, but did not say this part out loud. He saw surprise flicker in the old man's eyes before he sighed.

"Very well, Harry." He reached up, retrieved the Sorting Hat, came around to Harry, and put the Hat on his head.

Once more, Harry heard the Hat whispering in his ear. You want me to re-evaluate you, Potter?"

You know the answer to that, Harry thought.

"Indeed I do. Very well, I will look again and this time, no arguing or influencing."

As you wish. Harry sat still, eyes closed and mind blank as the Hat sifted through his mind and qualities. After about two minutes, the Hat spoke again.

"Again, you would be good in any of the Houses. However, my original decision stands. Therefore, the House you belong to is…SLYTHERIN!" It announced its decision for the entire office to hear.

Dumbledore removed the Hat and as he turned to put it back, Harry saw a flicker of sadness in the headmaster's eyes. No doubt Dumbledore had hoped that Harry would remain in Gryffindor. However, behind Dumbledore's back, Harry had an expression of elation. He was in the House he should have been in from the start! The House Voldemort had been sorted into! Harry was a Slytherin now!

He wiped the expression off his face before Dumbledore faced him. "Thank you, sir. May I leave?"

"Certainly, my boy."

Harry wanted to yell that he wasn't Dumbledore's boy anymore, but instead got up, crossed the room, and left. He started planning his next move as he rode the staircase down. He needed to speak to Snape. He headed down the corridors and stairs until he was in the dungeons. He paused to take in the fact that he would be heading for the Slytherin Common Room when September arrived. He would be trading the red and gold for green and silver and the lion for the serpent. The idea sent a shiver of thrill up his spine. He proceeded to Snape's office, not feeling the least bit afraid of the Potions Master anymore. After all, Snape would be his Head of House once the new school year started.

He knocked on the door and he heard movement before hearing, "Enter." He did so and saw Snape standing in front of his desk as well as an expression of intense dislike on his face. "Potter, what are you doing here?" he demanded.

"To speak to you, sir." Harry closed the door behind him.

"What about?" Snape folded his arms.

"I now know what Professor Dumbledore is really like. His plans to take over the Ministry."

"Indeed? And how did you acquire such knowledge?"

"The Dark Lord possessed me at least two or three hours ago and I saw images of the truth during that brief time. The truth about Dumbledore, the real prophecy, and about you, sir."

"You call him the Dark Lord. You are willing to fulfill the true prophecy."

"I am, sir. I intend to approach him over the summer and declare my support, but I don't know where he is. I thought maybe you know."

"You're in luck, Potter. I know that he currently resides at Malfoy Manor. Meet me at The Leaky Cauldron at noon on July seventh and I will Apparate us there."

Harry nodded. "Yes, sir. Oh, and sir, I had asked for the Sorting Hat to re-sort me and after this year, I will be transferring to Slytherin."

"So, I'll be your Head of House next year. Well, let me be the first to welcome you to Slytherin."

"Thank you, sir." Harry left the office and Snape leaned against his desk.

So, Potter, or rather Harry since he'll be in my House, has learned the truth. The Dark Lord is meant to rise to power while Dumbledore must be stopped. He learned that his destiny is to support and stand with the Dark Lord, not vanquish him. He also knows that I'm not Dumbledore's spy. I never stopped serving the Dark Lord even when he disappeared. So, I will deliver Harry to his destiny next month.
