"I guess we better start to plan how we're going to destroy that bastard," Harry said with a serious tone that took everyone aback, his voice was commanding as if he were the leader of the order.

It seems like everyone still had questions about his life, but the more time he spends here, the more he wants to stay with his parents, yes, he has no idea how life is in this universe, however, that doesn't change the fact that his parents are alive which is the most important thing.

"One question...Is the taboo on his name on?" Asked Harry with a curious look.

"Yes, if you say his low-rank followers appear and kill you," Dumbledore said with a serious tone and Harry nodded.

"We're going to call him Voldy then," Harry said before sighing.

In any different circumstance, that nickname would've caused laughter, however, they weren't going to refer to him like that because they wanted to have fun, it was because they didn't want his followers to attack them, and even if Harry was aware that this place was warded, he was sure that if anyone could break into well-protected wards it would be that bastard.

"Before we start planning, I would like to compare our worlds and see the differences," James suddenly decided to take part in the conversation.

They were in his home for Merlin's sake, it would put him in a bad spotlight if he were reduced to a mere background character, yes, he felt a little small compared to Dumbledore and his son from another universe but that doesn't mean they weren't in the same channel, all the people in the room wanted Voldemort dead, so, it was fair for everyone to participate in the conversation if they were going to fight side by side.

"I'll start then, the year was 1980, it happened just a little before I was born, there was a prophecy..." Harry started with a calm tone.

Soon he told them the prophecy, he told them about his mother and father hiding to protect them, the betrayal from Pettigrew, and how he ended up with a scar on the forehead.

"...Snape was the one who told the dark lord what the part he heard of the prophecy but he later turned into a spy for the order, I never forgave him but I was indifferent towards him in the end...He did something vital in the end, he destroyed a certain thing that Voldy was using to keep himself alive even if he was killed," Harry's words surprised everyone.

"I know everyone wants to hear what was that thing you're talking about Harry but let me tell you the differences between your story and the one in this world," Dumbledore said with a calm tone.

Turns out that in this world there was actually a prophecy but this time the prophecy was only heard by Dumbledore, and considering Trelawney didn't remember a thing after she said the prophecy, no one told the dark lord about it.

The second thing was the fact that Snape never turned into a spy, it seems like he's one of the top officials of the dark lord, and a brutal one, Harry was happy to hear that James had faced him many times and even if Snape always says he's going to kill him it never happens, his father is always on the verge of killing him but he always manages to slip away.

Turns out that the Potters were betrayed too in 1981 by Peter Pettigrew but in this case, he set the Potters to be killed by the dark lord because he publicly opposed him in front of the Wizengamot and the newspapers too, also, James and Lily had the highest kill count of death eaters at the time.

However, the order already suspected Pettigrew was onto something, so, just when Voldemort thought he was going to kill baby Henry as a punishment towards the Potters for opposing him, the whole order appeared and they took care of some of his followers and that night of Halloween one of the most brutal fights happened, the fight between Dumbledore and Voldy.

Dumbledore finally had the chance to face him and this time he was out of control, they fought equally, however, Tom's mistake was the fact that he was too arrogant and a show-off, and Dumbledore has always been calm and more practical, so, when he had the chance to cast a strong spell during a moment of weakness, he didn't hesitate and that day Tom Riddle lost his body.

"I can assure everyone that there's no prophecy, I even went to the Department of Mysteries and there was nothing in the hall of prophecies," Dumbledore said with an assuring tone to the family who seemed a little worried after hearing they dodged the same fate Harry went through.

"Okay, so, in my world, he didn't make a public appearance until I was in my first year at Hogwarts," Harry started.

Soon, he told them the story of the philosopher's stone and how Voldy was possessing Quirrell, and how in the end he defeated him thanks to his mother's protection, then he told them the whole chamber of secrets business, Sirius escaping from Azkaban and the triwizard tournament and how he gained his body in the graveyard but he almost lost his body because Harry was stronger than he predicted, after that, he skipped to his last year where he and Dumbledore were searching for Voldemort's pieces of soul and the raid in Malfoy's manor that resulted in Voldemort bent on his knees before destroying the universe, there were many details lost but he was going to tell them the important stuff later.

"Well, it seems our first years at Hogwarts were similar," Henry suddenly said. "However, in my case at the end of that year, he came back...However, he didn't make an appearance until my fifth year as he was creating an army in secret," Henry sighed.

"Yes, it happened after he stole the philosopher's stone...No one expected Quirrell to have been possessed by him," Dumbledore sighed. "And then, once he felt confident, he took over the ministry and since then he has been prosecuting and killing anyone who dares to oppose him," the old wizard sighed.

"All the dark creatures are by his side, most of the population that isn't muggle-borns are by his side, the Aurors and the ministry are by his side, Hogwarts is a brainwashing center to create blind future soldiers, he's using the muggle-borns as cannon fodders as he has threatened to kill their families if they don't do as they're told, he hates them but he doesn't mind using them as a shield," Lily was on the verge of tears.

"And don't forget his legion of foreign pureblood hit-wizards who willingly joined his side...They're brutal," Rose spoke this time.

Harry remained in silence for a few moments, it seems like this Voldemort here was more calm after he regained his body.

"So, in a few words, he has taken control over this country," Harry said with a serious tone.

Everyone nodded sadly.

"Correct me if I'm mistaken but judging by the way he's increasing his army even though he has already conquered this country it seems like he's preparing for something bigger, something beyond these lands it seems," Harry's words made everyone gulp.

"Yes, he's planning on expanding but it seems like that's a long-term project, despite his arrogance even he can see that it's not enough with his ten thousand soldiers, that's why according to some insiders, it seems like he's encouraging his followers to start having children and in great quantities so in ten years he'll finally have an army worthy of taking over the world," Sirius spoke this time.

"Insiders?" Harry asked with a curious expression.

"Okay, we kidnapped and used veritaserum in one of them," Remus said before sighing and Harry giggled.

"That's cool, and what you've just old has given me an idea to spicy things up a little for our dear Voldy," Harry had a mischievous expression. "But before we do that there's something all of you need to know, if you make an unbreakable vow that you're not going to tell anyone what I'm about to tell you, then you're free to stay," Harry now had a cold tone.

It seemed like he wasn't playing around, it didn't take too long for everyone but Henry and Rose to do it, Lily decided to stop her children before they compromised their lives and instead, she shooed them out of the room, then she put silencing and privacy charms.

"Horcruxes," Harry suddenly said and everyone but Dumbledore and Sirius were confused.

"W-what?!" Sirius asked as he felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Horcruxes, and if I'm not mistaken, if he has a snake around him everywhere he probably has made six if not seven," Harry suddenly showed them his scar.

They were confused at first but then, their eyes widened at the realization that the young man had a horcrux inside him.
