Sirius and Dumbledore couldn’t believe it, they had shocked expressions after hearing Harry’s words, the former Hogwarts headmaster’s fear had been confirmed, his theory about why even though he managed to destroy that bastard's body that night when he attacked the Potters and still survived was confirmed.

“Horcruxes…For Merlin’s sake!” Sirius was on the verge of going insane.

“And you say he probably made seven?!” It was rare for Dumbledore to lose his composure but what Harry said was worthy of that reaction.

Meanwhile, James, Lily, Remus, and Nymphadora stared at them with confused expressions.

“What’s a 'horror crux'?” Asked Lily as she couldn't contain her curiosity any longer.

“Horcrux dear Lily,” Sirius corrected her with a slight smirk as he mocked the many times she corrected him and his friends but then his smile faded as he didn't see anyone smiling.

“A Horcrux is the darkest type of magical artifact in the world, it’s like a backup plan in case you get killed, in resume, you can store a piece of your soul in an object or even a live being, right Harry?” Asked the aged wizard and Harry nodded.

“Yes, but I was an unwanted horcrux, Voldy's snake on the other hand, that thing is truly dangerous, oh and don’t worry about me, the piece of soul that was deposited in my head by accident the night he killed my parents is already gone,” Harry made sure to ease their worries.

“And how does this horcrux thing help you stay alive even if you get killed?” James gulped after asking this.

“You roam around the world in spirit form, or at least in my universe Voldy did that, he also possessed humans, creatures, and before he got his body back he took the form of a baby,” Harry clarified and they gulped harder.

“How did he achieve that?” Remus asked with a shocked tone.

“As far as I know, you have to kill someone with true intent and a ritual needs to be performed one month prior before certain dates or astronomical events, it’s very dangerous and the minimal error can end up in disaster, it can end up turning you into an object and according to Voldy’s words it could turn you into a squib, the guy liked to talk,” Harry laughed.

“Sounds like making one is dangerous enough, are you sure he made seven?” Asked Tonks with a shocked expression.

“It’s uncertain, he could’ve stopped at six and if he considers his current form another Horcrux then, he indeed made seven,” Harry told them with a serious tone.

Then he told them about the objects he used in his universe and the locations.

“I’m sure most of them are in the same place as in my Universe but I’m worried about the cup, what do you guys know about Bellatrix Lestrange?” Asked Harry with a raised brow.

“I think you mean Bellatrix Black. She’s my cousin and she’s on our side, I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Sirius half-joked.

To say Harry was shocked would be an understatement.

“I must admit that it’s going to be difficult to see her differently considering she was a complete monster in my universe, I was planning on destroying all of them using the memories I have but I’m still uncertain about the locations, and considering this Voldy is more cunning and smart than the one in my universe, I’m sure that getting those objects It’s not going to be easy,” Harry was thoughtful right now.

They remained in silence for a few moments until Harry decided to ask Sirius something.

“Sirius…Was your brother a death eater?” Asked Harry with a curious expression.

“Was? He’s still one, however, he’s also on our side, you could say that he’s our version of your Snivellus,” Sirius chuckled as they remembered the weak silent ugly kid that they used to have fun with and then turned into a monster once he became of age.

“Shit, then that means that the one in the cave is still there,” Harry massaged his temples.

His plan to destroy him quickly was going to take more time than he expected, he was a little disappointed about that but then, he smirked.

“Well, it seems like things are going to get interesting I thought this was going to be easy,” Harry chuckled.

“What are we going to do?” Remus was feeling like there was no point, he was starting to lose his faith in the cause.

“It’s easy…We’re going to destroy as many of his objects that I’m certain are in the same place as in my universe, and we’re going to find the ones remaining by using veritaserum on him,” Harry declared with a motivated expression.

To say that the other adults in the room were stunned would be a very short-sighted conclusion.

“What?” Dumbledore couldn’t believe it.

“Using veritaserum on him…That's going to be impossible, first, you need to overpower him and then you need to keep him and his followers under control and right now, he has many people to spare, I don’t think even you can capture him, and you need to add the fact that he rarely comes out of his den, his attacks are unpredictable,” Lily explained as she couldn't believe Harry's plan.

“Add to that the fact that we don't don't have more truth serum and brewing it is illegal unless the government does it and the materials are hard to get as even the dark apothecaries will tell the ministry if they suspect you're trying to get ahold of those materials,” Sirius was angry right now.

Harry didn’t say anything, he just walked around the living room until he found something interesting, it was today’s newspaper.

“Oh, it seems like Minister Malfoy and his son the undersecretary are going to the yearly ICW meeting in Genova,” Harry couldn’t believe that those pieces of shit could hold such high positions.

There was no doubt that this was the worst timeline.

“Yes, those two arseholes are going to be out of the country but I doubt we can do something in the meantime, as you can see, it seems like even the ICW are on the death eaters' side or at least they don’t seem to care as long as it’s contained in the country,” James was so angry about the lack of action from the ICW.

“It’s better that way, we don’t want innocents to come to die here,” Dumbledore was frustrated but the last thing he wanted was to involve foreign innocent people in this fight.

“Albus…All of you are aware that all the countries that belong to the ICW are obliged to pay the ICW a yearly fee to be a member, right? Where does that money go?” Asked Harry with an annoyed expression on his face. “It’s their job to keep the peace in the magical world that's the reason why they exist, however, they've become so corrupted that the only thing they care about is the statute of secrecy,” Harry said with a frustrated tone.

That was something he didn’t have to deal with in his universe, Voldemort’s army wasn’t that big where he came from, thanks to him and the order they were wiped out in a surprise attack.

“I know you don’t like it, but at some point, the ICW is going to face them, and in my opinion, if that’s going to happen it’s better if it happens when they’re ready and Voldemort’s army isn’t that strong,” Harry knew the headmaster was mostly a pacifist but it was better to take care of the larva before it becomes a mosquito.

“So…What’s your plan then? What’s your idea?” Asked Lily with a curious expression.

“We’re going to give something to Voldy and his army to get entertained while we work in the shadows, also, I’d like to free the muggle-borns to get them on our side,” the young man was smirking as he said this.

“And what are you planning to do to keep them entertained?” Tonks was a little nervous about the upcoming answer.

“Let’s give the ICW a reason to invade us, after all, the only thing they care about is the statute of secrecy…Let’s break the statute then,” Harry’s words made everyone look at him with shocked expressions.

Harry knew they were uncertain about how they were going to achieve that, the younger man decided to let Henry and Rose back into the room before he took a collar from his neck that had a moving picture of his parents and suddenly, he used wandless magic to turn the collar into a big chest, the whole group gasped after seeing the many materials and potions Harry had stored in the chest, he was smirking at them as they stared at him with awe.
