Chapter fifteen

Only a year after Evan and Dora married when she gave birth to a son. Even though Evan knew this little baby boy was his son and not Teddy, he wanted to remember him. They called their son Teddy Evan Potter. In the magical world, it was tradition to use the father's name for his first born son's middle name. Dora at first thought Evan would want to call their son James, but Evan said it might make people suspicious, he also said they could compromise and call their daughter, if they had one, Jamie and the other Lily. Dora smiled, she realised her wonderful husband wanted more than just one or two children. She was hoping for four or five and with how Evan sounded, he was hoping for the same thing.

After Evan received the news that Albus Dumbledore was dying and the healers believed he only had days at most left, Evan sat wondering if he should visit the old man. He did not want to say goodbye in the normal sense. He wanted to let Albus Dumbledore know just who was responsible for making sure his plans fell through. He had only told Dora and Sirius what he was thinking about. They gave their opinions, but in the end it would be up to Evan. He still wanted to think about it before he decided.

'Are you going to do it Prongslet?'

Evan looked up at his godfather, 'Yes, I think I will. First I will make sure he is dying before I reveal who I really am. I want him to know who destroyed his dreams. Then hopefully if my parent's have been watching over us, they will deal with him when he crosses over. His next great adventure might not be as pleasant as he had hoped.'

Sirius chuckled, 'I'm sure they are watching Evan, just as I'm sure that I might have a bit of pity for Albus Dumbledore. But only a bit.'

'Look after the school for me, I'm not sure how long I will be. I'm just going to let Dora know I'll be gone for a while.'

'Get going then and know the school will be fine.' Sirius grinned then sent a jinx at Evan changing his hair to bright pink which made the old Marauder laugh. It took Evan three tries before his hair was back to normal but he did jinx Sirius's hair to be bright yellow. Sirius would not be able to undo it, it would have to wait for twenty four hours before the jinx wore off.

Sirius wanted to lighten the mood. Evan was about to face the man that had caused all his suffering when he was a child. Sirius just hoped Evan will be alright when the visit was over.

Evan walked casually through the hallways of St Mungo's. After using legilimense on some of the staff, he found out that the old man was dying. It wasn't days to live, but a day at most, maybe even hours. Once he knew the truth he headed to the room where Albus Dumbledore lay dying.

Evan stepped over to the bed to see Albus looking old. His eyes were open but they weren't twinkling like they used to.

'You look familiar,' Albus said softly and slowly.

'Evan Wiseman Potter.'

'Ah, yes, the one who took young Harry.'

'It was my right as his uncle and blood family. But I would have taken him even if I hadn't been blood related. I had been watching James, Lily, you and many others. I also watched the Dursley's. I know what they would have done to Harry if I had not rescued him. You knew as well, didn't you old man?'

'I don't know what you mean. I only wanted Harry safe and protected.'

'No, I know the truth, with help I found out about all your plans for Harry. But tell me this before I tell you what I know. If you knew your plans would end in the death of Alastor Moody, Minerva McGonagall, one of the Weasley children, along with a quarter of the students at Hogwarts and many, many more people, would you have done things differently?'

'To stop Voldemort there had to be sacrifices.'

'But you didn't stop Voldemort, Harry did.'

'He is still out there, he will return. I tried to plan it so I could deal with him, but he did not reveal himself and now I'm out of time.'

'I already dealt with him, a long time ago. You see Albus, I knew about his soul anchors, so I took care of them, with help from Sirius. When the last of those foul things were destroyed, we went searching for Voldemort. We killed the snake he was possession. It was easy, well, easy for me since I'm a parselmouth. We knew it was you that got Peter out of Azkaban so Sirius got the privileged of killing Peter, right after we killed Voldemort. When he died, we made sure his wraith was completely destroyed. Since he had no anchors left, he couldn't survive, especially after being hit with basilisk venom.'

'No, Harry, he has to die or Voldemort will return.'

'That is something you invented Albus. Harry has been thoroughly checked by healers along with two unspeakables, along with two more unspeakables from American and a goblin who knows more about horcruxes than any witch or wizard. Harry is perfectly healthy, his scar faded over the years until it is barely noticeable. And not once has he ever had a headache or any pain from his scar. Oh by the way Albus, it was I who spoke with Severus and that is the reason he left. I know about your plans with Molly Weasley. I told Arthur and Molly that Ron and Ginny will not be able to attend my school. The other three were welcome and thrived in my school. I know all about the love potions, loyalty potions, not to mention all the potions you poured down Harry's throat during his time at Hogwarts before you had Hagrid take him to Surrey.'

'How do you know all this? Who are you? I know you're not a Potter, even if you look like one.'

'Oh I am a Potter, I was born a Potter,' Evan stared down at Albus, 'Before I tell you, I want the truth old man. Was all these plans for Harry just so you could be continuously known as the great and powerful Albus Dumbledore? Did you plan to take all the Potter money and share it with Molly?'

'Molly only agreed to the plan if I split the money with her. But I am powerful, even though I am dying, I am still known and will always be known as the most powerful wizard who ever lived.'

'You may have been known as the most powerful Albus, but you won't be remembered as that. You see, I am at least three times more powerful that you are and very soon people will know that. Power was another reason you wanted Harry to die, wasn't it?'

'Yes, he will turn dark if he is allowed to live. He is too powerful, he must be stopped before our world suffers.'

'Harry is one of the kindest and selfless child I have ever seen. If he had grown up with those disgusting muggles, yes, he would have been dark and worst than Voldemort. But since I raised him, he is kind, loyal and loving. You are right, he is powerful, yet he will use that power for good, just like I have.'

'Tell me how you know all this?'

Evan removed his contacts then cancelled the charm on his forehead, 'I am Harry James Potter. I lived through what you planned. I came back with the help of Severus Snape to save thousands of lives that you sacrificed. He found out about all your plans. When he died he left me the information. You planned to make me believe I had to die by Voldemort's hand, well I did die and I went to the nether world. I was given a choice to stay there or return. I returned so I could finish Voldemort for good and so my parent's could rest in peace. When I came to this time, I went straight to Surrey. I was there at Privet drive that night. The moment McGonagall and Hagrid left I saw your face, your true face. I took Harry and gave him the love you would have denied him, that you denied me. He will be powerful, just like I am, but he will not sacrifice innocent lives, no matter what. You old man turned out to be just as dark as Voldemort. You may not have used your own hand to kill, but you allowed others to die. When you pass on I will be releasing certain information so the world will know you were not the good and kind Albus Dumbledore. Everyone will know just what you were willing to do to keep your reputation and they will know just how dark you really are. I have permission from Aberforth to tell the story of what happened to Ariana. I spoke with Gellert Grindelwald. He admitted it was his spell that killed her, but Aberforth agreed with me. The world will believe you killed her because she was in your way. Everyone will know that you planned to kill the-boy-who-lived because you wanted his money. I have the support of hundreds of people due to the new school I opened up. Oh and Albus, when you cross over, to your next great adventure, get ready to suffer at the hands of Lily and James Potter.'

Evan stared down at Dumbledore who seemed to wither before his eyes. He replaced the charm on his scar then put in his contact lenses.

'Everything I did was to make sure you had no contact with Harry, which includes opening my school. I made sure none of your supporters got their kids into my school, I was going to make sure Harry was safe, but also had a normal childhood. There is no separation between my students. The pure-bloods play alongside the muggleborns, and they enjoy playing muggle sport and enjoy muggle technology. The ministry in England is finished, the shops are almost gone and Hogwarts will never open again, all because of you, Albus…Percival…Wulfric…Brian…Dumbledore. The world as you envisioned it, ended when you planned to sacrifice a little orphaned boy who only wanted to be loved.'

Evan bent down closer and whispered, 'I own and control the deathly hallows and I spoke with my parent's and your sister. They are so looking forward to seeing you,' Evan's look was cold and he allowed some of his power to leak out, which made Albus shudder before he watched Harry as he morphed into a very old man with long grey hair. Albus's eyes never moved as he watched the man open the door, step through then the door quietly closed.

Albus Dumbledore died while staring at the door to his hospital room, but he had the look of fear on his face. Everyone just put it down to the fact he knew he was dying. Some people just wanted more life. Everyone dies, sooner or later but Albus Dumbledore had lived a long time, yet he wanted more life. It was his time to leave the world and nothing could stop that happening.

At least this time Harry James Potter was able to prevent hundreds of innocent people from dying, just for one man's ego. He may be Evan now and he had the life he always hoped to have, but Evan/Harry will always have the memories of what happened, all because of Albus Dumbledore. Now the man was dead, Evan knew he would be able to put his passed behind him for good and live his life with his wife, his two sons, Harry and Teddy along with his friends. He will continue to run his school, a school that was for all magical children, no matter their blood status, also a school where student were safe.
