[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Surp…Oh, Wait 
 
“We‟re&n bsp;here for Mister Potter.†The auror s stated loudly as they all but stormed into the Great 
Hall.  
“What are you talking about?†one of the teachers demanded, “He‟s not here.†
“Oh, He‟s here alright.†Moody practically snarled, searching for the boy‟s magical signature. 
“There!†He s houted pointing towards the Slytherin table. And just like that Harmony‟d been 
delivered to the wolves - or snakes, same thing.  
“hey!† ;one of the Weasley twins shouted suddenly, “You leave our little Harmony alone!†
“Yeah!â € The other chimed in, “It‟s not her fault she‟s a freak of nature!†
She was slightly mortified at their choice of words to defend, “Guys, stop helping.†
“We‟re  only looking out for your best interest.†they chorused.  
“No, really, do stop helping. I think she can see to her own best interest.†Hermione piped up.  
“Wait, you mean to tell me that you really are Potter!†Draco stated menacingly slow, staring at 
the girl he‟d come to like- almost love- in shock.  
“I didn‟t mean to lie to you.†Harmony whispered, placing her head in her hands to conceal the 
tears. “I was going to tell you who I used to be, but…†she trailed off as he scoffed and turned 
away.  
“Draco, please.†Both Harmony and Pansy chorused.  
“You knew!†The blonde exploded; cutting of f anything else Pansy would have said. & nbsp;
“Don‟t act like you hadn‟t suspected at first, we all did!†she snapped back, â€œso what if she‟s 
Harry bloody Potter! That& acirc;€Ÿs not who she is now, that‟s not the sweetheart of a person we‟ve all 
come to love.†
“It‟s okay Pans,†Harmony interrupted, “he wouldn‟t be wrong to hate me now. I should‟ve told&nb sp;
him sooner, I should‟ve told& nbsp;you all.†
 
“Not that this isn‟t real heart wrenching,†Moody interrupted, “But, you‟re under arrest for the 
murders of Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley.†
“What makes you think that she‟s guilty of these crimes?†Minerva spoke up. “Why don‟t we 
prove her innocence, or guilt, right this instance?†Severus pulled out a vial of veritaserum and 
joined his house in front of the stars of this morning‟s particular â€ 82;show‟. Three drops later and 
Harmony was looking pretty zombie-ish and the questions plus a notation quill were prepared.  
“What is your full name?†They had to get the simple stuff over with first in order to test the 
potency.  
“Harmony Jam ira Savie Evans Potter.†Was the automatic reply, and she couldn‟t help but think 
„What kind of name is Savie?‟ but didn‟t voice it.  
“I thought that your name was Harry James Potter, why is it not?†
“Th is is the name chosen by my mother, Lillian Evans. Harry Potter no longer exists, He is 
dead.†a shocked&nb sp;gasp arose at this while Hermione and Ron paled some.  
“Did you kill him?†
“No. Age killed him.†
“Explain what you mean by that.†
“His time of usefulness was over, he only existed to protect me.†
“Protect you from what?†a startled Kingsley blurted.  
“From those that intend to control me and those intending to do me harm.†and she knew in that

instance just how right she was Harry was dead indeed, he never would have given up such info, 
not even under the compelling force of veritiserum.  
“And who are these people that wish you harm?†the same nameless auror who began the 
questioning asked.  
“T he names are Tom Marvolo Riddle, James Michael Potter, and Albus Wulfric Brian 
Dumbledore.†the crowd flowed with half suppressed gasps and murmurs.  
“Why would James want to hurt you?†Severus couldn‟t help but ask.  
“I am not his child and he therefore would have refused to accept me.†
“Why do you think Dumbledore wishes you harm?†
“His is a wish to control me, power is what he‟s after.†
“Who is your father then, child?†Severus asked quietly in her ear.†
“Severus Snape.†Harmony stated, apparently quite&nb sp;suddenly with a strange lilt, head turning 
slightly in his direction. Almost no one noticed the man in question pale slightly as his face 
furrowed in slight confusion.  
“What about him?†
“He is my father.†Harmony‟s voice was becoming, more and more so, almost cheerful; an 
unfortunate side effect of the potion.  
“We need to end this quickly.†The original auror real ized. â€œDid you kill your muggle relatives?†
â&e uro;œNo, their deaths were only made known to me last night.†the aurors nodded their consent, and a 
still shocked Snape administered the antidote. They couldn‟t confiscate her, but a part of 
Harmony wished they could have hauled her off, for now she‟d opened two cans of worms and 
she wasn‟t quite sure of her ability to keep them all contained. She looked down at Draco‟s face - 
still angry  even through his shock. Upwards wasn‟t any better, there loomed the pale face of who 
she now knew was her father, which was slowly becoming red, most likely in anger. She had a 
lot of explaining to do, and who knew how much time would be allotted her in which to explain 
all that had been revealed.
