Chapter 140 - Chapter 8

Harry was becoming even more able to notice Dumbledore's manipulations. What would have happened if he had allowed Ron to fall to his death? Even though Harry had, Realized Ron wasn't much better.

Harry met with Kreacher in the Room of requirements later that evening. Kreacher Had been staying at Grimauld Place, so he would not bring extra attention to Harry.

They were planning how to take out HIM out it should be in class; it would be an accident in front of witnesses. A simple wandless tripping Jinx, then Harry reaches out to help him. Once his hands were gone Tom would evacuate the castle in front of everyone and expose he is still alive.

Harry hit him halfway through class on Monday. The stuttering teacher hit the floor hard right next to Harry.

Harry simply reached out and took his hand as if to help him up. The teacher began screaming as his hand began smoking and turning to ash. It moved quickly up his arm to his body. Voldemort was screaming "Kill HIM!"

Over and over. Quirrell fell dead in the classroom, the wraith of Tom Riddle rising above the children in class. He had eyes for only one.

"Harry Potter we meet again, I can't kill you now as I'd like but my time will come!"

Voldemort Flew out of the room with 40 children screaming. Harry Ran to Professor McGonagall to come, witness what happened, and have her call in the DMLE before Dumbledore could begin his Damage control.

Amelia Bones and Kingsley Shacklebolt arrived just minutes later. Dumbledore Hot on there heals. "Madame Bones what are you doing here?"

The head of the DMLE was beyond incredulous. "There was the death of a teacher in this school; it is our job to investigate it. We will be questioning the children who witnessed it. You will not interfere!" Classes were canceled and the questioning of Students and faculty went on for four days.

The Daily Prophet picked up the story only because Harry had Kreacher deliver them an anonymous letter detailing the facts. It wasn't long before reporters were camped out all around Hogwarts.

The office of Albus Dumbledore

Severus was sitting in a chair awaiting Albus to begin. The Old Wizard was in a very bad mood. Albus did not let his anger show often, but when he did, it was not a sight you wanted to witness.

"Why would Minerva defy me, you know anything that happens in this castle goes through me first!" Albus was throwing off Magic in waves. "This is information that is getting out to early….you know we need to control it and the papers will all have it front page by morning. There will be inquiries by the Wizengamot. This should have been handled in house. Obliviated all but Harry.

Now he is front-page news and so is Voldemort. How can I get the boy to sacrifice himself if he knows too much and has support of everyone?"

Albus was spinning as if a top his plans were all but destroyed, damage control was getting to be daily. He was not happy.

Severus had hated the Potters since School, his heart as cold as winter at the South Pole.

"Albus arrange an accident for the boy, we can still use Longbottom, and with you being Potters guardian you would still gain all his holdings if not his titles."

The look that left Albus eyes could have killed as easily as the Avada kadavra.

"I must gain those titles; it's for the greater good!"

"That is why I have kept him away from his heritage; if he knew the power he holds we would have no chance. And he would hold to his family's legacy, if he knew of it."

It looks like the dicta quill has caught some of Dumbledore's plan now its time for Kreacher to make his daily retrieval.

Room of requirement midnight

Harry was reading over Dumbledore's daily rants when he came across the rant with Snape. There was more to this than he knew.

Time to check his parents will if they had one. Something told Harry the prophecy was nothing more than a pile of flobber worm shit!
