Chapter #41: A true Potter.

Harry followed Xenophilius' advice. During the weekend, he decided to visit the old Potter manor. He needed answers; he needed to know if he could find anything about the secret government in his family’s ancestral home, and what role he would play with them. He was sure there was more behind what was currently going on.

After all, they were completely focused on getting rid of him, maybe it was because of his ideas, or because they hated the Potters, or maybe he represented a danger for them because, to be honest, these people are untouchable, so, if they were truly actively trying to get rid of him is because of something else, and he needed to know what it was to prepare better.

Harry walked around the house; most of it was destroyed. Of course, Snape would try to erase all evidence about his involvement in his parents' betrayal. Just the thought of the greasy-haired wizard made his blood boil. He moved around the house, and he looked at the belongings in his parents' room.

The library was another place, he thought his mother would hide something there, but no matter how many books he moved and how many he looked at, there was no secret passage or a secret room appearing. In the end, he decided to look at a photobook that his mother told him to see.

Their time was limited, so she was as brief as possible, and before he came back to life, she told him about the photobook. There was a page that caught his attention. It was a simple picture of him in the garden close to a fountain with an angel sculpture, and there was something written on the bottom of the picture, and it was written with a Muggle pen, that's for sure.

“A true Potter,” Harry read.

He decided to take out the photo, but when he looked at the back, he was surprised to see something; there were some instructions.

“Harry, if you’re reading this, it means the worst happened. I’m going to keep it short. There’s a fountain with an angel sculpture in the garden. If you use some of your blood, a secret will be revealed, and all your questions will be answered there. We love you, never doubt that.

James and Lily Potter,” he read and soon did as he was told.

The garden was a mess, everything was dry, and the fountain was empty, the place was decayed, but he didn’t hesitate, soon a drop of his blood landed on the fountain and then it started to glow until the thing disappeared and instead, some secret stairs appeared alongside a small tune of victory, this truly reminded him of a Zelda puzzle.

“Lumos!” He said and soon walked downstairs; it didn’t take long for him to reach the bottom.

There were many boxes and some paintings that were placed face down. He decided to get one, and then his eyes widened at the sight. It was a picture of his parents, and they were waving at him.

“Well, well, who’s this young man?” Asked the man in the picture.

“He looks like you, James. Is he a relative of yours?” Asked the red-haired woman.

“Father…Mother,” Harry couldn’t believe it.

He knew the painting was just imitating his parents’ behavior; this was not a physical representation of their souls, this was just an imitation, but this was good enough for him, while Muggles have recently started to fear what A.I. can do, wizards have dealt with things like this for centuries.

“What? You can’t be our son, we’re almost the same age, we have a baby son, and even if you look like us, that would be strange, we’re almost the same age!” The man couldn’t believe it.

Harry sighed, their reactions made him get back to reality, no, these weren’t his real parents; however, they may have answers to some questions that he has.

“Listen, you two died protecting me, you were betrayed by Severus Snape, it’s been almost twenty years since that,” his words shocked them. “Don’t worry, I’m planning to avenge your deaths, but first, I need to change the world, and I need to know everything about the secret government, come on, Dad…I know you were part of,” Harry almost begged.

Then he explained the situation about how he wants to bring the statute of secrecy down to make other people’s lives better, and then told them about the murder attempts by the secret government. The couple looked at each other with sad expressions, but soon, they nodded.

“If you were able to reach us, then that means you’re a true Potter, your father, my real self, told us to wait in the secret Potter vault, where all the important treasures and artifacts are guarded, and only a descendant of the Potters can reach this place…Welcome, son,” James said with a smirk.

“If you say you’re our son, I don’t see reason to deny it…Come on, James, tell him everything you know about the secret government,” Lily encouraged the man who looked too much like him.

“Very well, first of all, you need to know that the Potter family is the leader of the secret government, and because of our role as leaders, we’re bound by magic to do what we can to make life better for others, that’s the oath we take every time a new leader takes his position, I want you to find a ring…” James told him, and soon Harry started to move around.

It took him a while, as there were a lot of rings, but eventually, Harry managed to get it. It was a beautiful golden ring with an emerald stone.

“Wow, this is…” Harry said with a shocking tone.

“Put it…To prove that you’re the true heir and a true leader, you must be tested by the ring,” the man encouraged him.

Soon, Harry did as he was told; it didn’t take long for his hand to start to glow, and then his whole body, but eventually, he got back to normal.

“Well, that settles it then…The lord Potter, leader of the secret government, is back,” Lily said with a happy expression.

They were looking proudly at him, and Harry felt a little embarrassed, but he was happy.

“We’re so proud of you, son,” Lily said with a few tears.

He didn’t want to get too emotional; they were paintings after all, there was nothing he could do against his own feelings.

“Dad…What is my function as the leader of this organization?” Asked Harry with a calm expression.

“Lead them to an era of peace and prosperity, and in your case, you seem to want an era of progress too, not bad, had things not went the same way for me, I would’ve probably done the same thing, and remember, always wear this ring when you’re with the other members, they don’t like to be lead but you have a strong willpower, you’re going to make them follow you I’m sure of that, they cannot kill you as long as you have that ring,” Lily explained with a happy expression.

“But there’s one thing that can kill you…And that is if you get corrupted by power and you only think about yourself and not others, the ring is going to consume you, and then it’ll find a suitable master, so be careful and do everything in your power to make people’s lives better,” his father warned him.

The words were shocking, but Harry wasn’t planning on becoming evil anytime soon. With this, he was going to make the secret government stop with their nonsense; that’s the only thing he wants.
