A SITUATION REVEALED...

\"Tom Riddle...\" Harry breathed.

\"I asked who YOU are.\" Tom said not moving his gaze from Harry.

Harry\'s head was spinning with thoughts.

Dammit! What happened?! How did I get here?! Stupid, stupid! Harry thought.

\"You! answer my question!\" Tom demanded.

Shit! What am I going to do?! Harry was really panicking. Calm down. You\'ll just
be worse if you don\'t calm down. Harry resolved.

\"Harry,\" He said. \"My name is Harry.\"

\"Harry who?!\" Tom snapped instantly.

I can\'t tell him my name! What if there\'s someone named Potter here too?!

\"Evans.\" Harry said thinking of his mother. \"Harry Evans.\"

Tom surveyed him with a piercing glare. There was a very long silence.

\"I do not know any Evans here in this school. There is no such student here.\" Tom
said.

Of course you wouldn\'t my mother is muggle-born.

And she\'s not even born yet... Harry said to himself.

\"You are from Gryffindor.\" Tom said as he examined Harry\'s uniform.

Harry had worn his uniform one last time as he took a stroll along Hogwarts, it
was his last walk inside it anyway, he might as well walk inside it as a student.

\"Yes. I am from Gryffindor.\" Harry said. He stood up proudly.

\"I have never seen your before.\" Tom said, his wand not moving from Harry.

\"I... I don\'t see you that much either.\" Harry said defiantly.

\"Really now?\" Tom said with a smirk. \"You do not know the Head Boy himself?\"

\"Should I?\" Harry asked.

Tom\'s face straightened, anger started to show.

\"Come with me Mr. Evans, we shall see what your Head of House has to say about
this.\" Tom said.

Tom took him by the arm, his hands gripped him like a wrench. Harry almost wanted
to turn and hit Tom but he thought better of it, it wouldn\'t be a good idea if he
fought Riddle.

Besides, he wanted to see his Head of House... he knew he wouldn\'t be surprised.

They came to the familiar transfiguration classroom and went to the quarters at
the far end of the room. Tom knocked on the large ebony door.

\"Come in.\" A familiar voice said.

They went inside.

Harry knew who he would find seated at the desk at the very center of the room
surrounded by the familiar silver instruments... Harry also found Fawkes perched
on his golden perch right beside the Deputy Headmaster\'s desk.

Albus Dumbledore, Head of Gryffindor house and Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts was
there, his hands clasped together on top of his desk, wearing robes of deepest
purple, half-moon spectacles covering his sparkling blue eyes, his hair however
was auburn, not white and his beard also of the same color was shorter. There
were some rolls of parchment on his table and a huge bottle of red ink, a quill
sticking out from it.

\"Ah, Tom,\" Dumbledore said. \"What brings you during this late hour?\" He asked.

Harry wondered what time it was, there was no clock to look at so he resigned to
look at the window... It was dark and the sky was littered with stars.

\"Sir, I bring someone from your house,\" Tom said as he pulled Harry in front. \"I
found him on the third floor as I was making my rounds.\"

Dumbledore looked at Harry quizzically. He was surveying Harry with most interest.

\"He tells me his name is Harry Evans sir,\" Tom said. Dumbledore returned his gaze
at the Head Boy. \"Do you know him sir?\" Tom asked with politeness.

\"Evans...\" Dumbledore whispered, bringing his clasped hands to his chin. \"Yes, he
is from my house, the same year as you Tom.\" He said.

\"Sir, with all due respect, I have never seen this boy before.\" Tom said, his so
said respect wavering.

\"Tom, Harry is a very silent student and he chooses to not attract attention to
himself.\" Dumbledore defensed.

\"Well he certainly was unable to do so tonight sir.\" Tom said, his grip on Harry\'s
arm possibly growing tighter.

\"Please relieve Harry of your vicegrip Mr. Riddle.\" Dumbledore said. Tom did so,
though reluctantly. \"And what, may I ask, did Mr. Evans do Mr. Riddle?\"

\"He fell from the ceiling of the third floor corridor sir, he was enveloped in an
odd light as he fell.\" Tom explained.

\"He fell Mr. Riddle?\" Dumbledore asked.

\"Yes sir.\" Tom answered.

\"And you brought him here for trial wherein he might be injured from his fall?\"
Dumbledore asked.

Tom was silenced.

\"State to me your priority as Head Boy, Tom.\" Dumbledore instructed.

\"To safeguard all Hogwarts students, to ensure their welfare and well-being.\" Tom
recited. \"To prevent hurt and strife amongst them, to be an example and model to
all and to uphold peace and unity.\" He finished robotically.

\"And were you able to do this to Mr. Evans?\" Dumbledore asked. \"He should have
been brought to the Hospital Wing first rather than here, we do not know what
that light and that fall made to him, his well-being is not ensured Mr. Riddle.\"
he said.

\"I thought it would be wise to bring him to you sir,\" Tom said.

\"What would have been wiser was to bring him to the Hospital wing and inform me
of his actions while he was being taken care of by Madame Pomfrey.\" Dumbledore
said.

\"Forgive me for such actions sir.\" Tom said as he bowed his head stiffly.

\"We all make mistakes Tom,\" Dumbledore said. \"You may leave Harry with me now,
I shall be the one to personally escort him to the Hospital Wing...\" He turned to
Harry. \"After I discuss with him his punishment.\"

Harry clearly saw a shadow of a wink in the corner of the man\'s eye.

\"Yes sir, I will take my leave of you now. Good evening.\" Tom said, his face was
white, as though he was restraining all his fury. He then left the room silently.

Harry watched him until the door to Dumbledore\'s quarters was closed. He looked
quite angry, He thought. Dumbledore cleared his throat.

\"Mr. Evans please sit down.\" Dumbledore said.

Harry sat down the chair right infront of Dumbledore\'s desk. He kept his head down.

\"I will be completely honest with you Mr. Evans, I do not know why I even defended
you in front of Mr. Riddle.\" Dumbledore said. \"I hope that I did the right thing.\"

Harry looked up and saw that Professor Dumbledore did not look angry, this calmed
him a bit.

\"It\'s very complicated sir, even I don\'t know how I ended up here...\" Harry said.

\"I assume you remember what happened before that Mr. Evans?\" Dumbledore asked.

Harry supposed he could tell him the truth... No. He remembered Hermione\'s lecture
about the past when they used the time turner.

\"Awful things have happened when wizards have meddled with time.\"

But what good did that do now? He needed help, this wasn\'t like the time turner...
Something brought him here and he wasn\'t even sure if he would be able to come
back through it.

He made a decision.

\"Sir, what would you think if I were to tell you that I came from the future?\"
Harry asked.

Dumbledore looked at him seriously. He wondered who this boy was, whoever he is,
Dumbledore felt like he knew him, he felt like a very close person to him... He
was like someone he felt very comfortable with. Dumbledore leaned back his chair.

\"I would think that light and your fall addled your mind Mr. Evans.\" Dumbledore
said honestly.

\"My real name is not Evans sir, It is Potter, Harry Potter.\" Harry said.

\"Potter?\" Dumbledore asked. \"They are quite known here in the wizarding world Mr.
Evans, We have someone named Potter here right now, under my house.\" He said.

\"Sir, I tell you the truth... I am from the future and my name is Harry Potter.\"
Harry said.

\"Very well Harry,\" Dumbledore said. \"Please tell me how you transported yourself
here in our time, convince me that you are telling the truth.\"

Harry prepared himself, he heaved a deep breath looked straight to the clear blue
eyes and told everything that happened inside the Room of Requirement. he was very
careful to avoid telling the man before him about the events that happened before
he entered the fateful room, Harry only focused on the story of how he got himself
blasted forty-five years to the past.

The Deputy Headmaster listened to every single word the boy said. He felt very
familiar and I sense no lies from him, He said to himself.

It took ten minutes for Harry to tell the Deputy Headmaster everything he did
inside the Room of Requirement. Everyt single detail.

All throughout those ten minutes, Harry never took his eyes from the professor.

\"You say that this room requires anything to the one who enters it?\" Dumbledore
asked.

\"Yes sir, everything he needs.\" Harry said.

Dumbledore closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

\"And what were you thinking the moment you seated yourself in front of the cabinet
Mr. Evans?\" Dumbledore said, not taking heed on calling the boy Potter.

Harry was going through dangerous waters. If he told the man what he thought about,
he would be revealing too much.

\"It is my guess Mr. Evans,\" Dumbledore said as he stood up. \"That whatever you
thought for the moment inside the said room was the one that caused your plight
here in our time. You desired to be taken back.\" He said.

There was silence.

\"What fascinates me is the fact you chose to be taken back exactly during OUR
time, and INSIDE Hogwarts. If you are a student indeed, you would be quite aware
that the school is heavily protected by the most powerful charms and spells.\" The
old man continued.

\"I did not choose to be taken back at this certain time sir.\" Harry said.

\"But you desired to change something am I right Harry?\" Dumbledore asked.

Harry\'s heart was racing, Professor Dumbledore was sharp as ever.

\"Yes sir.\" Harry said with a defeated tone.

This was all true, as he wanted to stop Voldemort\'s progress but he never knew
it would lead to this.

\"And it is again my guess that whatever or whoever you wish to be changed is here
at Hogwarts, and the best time to do such a change is right now.\" Dumbledore said.

Harry thought. Of course... There would be no Lord Voldemort if Tom Riddle was to
be stopped.

That\'s why the Room took me here, during his final year at Hogwarts. This is it,
my last chance.

Harry made up his mind. He knew what to do now.

\"You believe me sir? That I came from the future?\" Harry asked.

Dumbledore surveyed him magesterially over his half-moon spectacles. There are
still so many things thsi boy hid from him, nonetheless he knew he was not lying.

But still he is hiding something.

That lightning shaped scar for example.

Something in that scar called out Dumbledore\'s attention. Ever since Tom showed
Harry into the room, Dumbledore\'s eyes caught sight upon that scar.

That scar is magical and it holds the truth to everything about this boy.

\"In all honesty Harry, I still do not believe you. I find it hard to believe such
an event. I would like to ask you something Harry, one last question.\" Dumbledore
said.

Harry nodded.

\"The scar on your forehead, is not an ordinary scar.\" It was not a question. It
was a sure statement.

Harry swallowed.

\"It is a curse scar sir.\" Harry said.

Dumbledore wanted to know about that scar, something in it was noticeable, it
emitted something dark, it was powerful and it radiated protection to this boy.

It\'s power felt oddly familiar.

What might it mean?

\"I told you that it was the last question Harry but I must ask this...\" The old
man said. \"Do we know each other in the future?\" he asked.

\"Yes sir.\" Harry answered calmly.

Dumbledore smiled.

\"Very well Harry, I must escort you to the Hospital Wing... I am afraid that you
will have to spend the night there, until I have figured out a way to tell the
headmaster about you.\" Dumbledore said.

Harry looked at him.

\"Do not fret, I will not tell them about your manner of arrival here Harry.\" The
man assured.

Harry stood up and joined Professor Dumbledore by the door. They were about
to go out when Dumbledore told him.

\"Harry, I suggest you keep on using Evans as your last name, It would be wiser
to stay unknown.\" He said.

As they stepped out Harry knew his goal here.

He was going to stop Tom Riddle no matter what.
