Chapter 8- The Plan
"But, it all depends on Miss Weasley..." finished Dumbledore. "We cannot force her... She has to accept first."
"Of course I accept! I've only been dreaming about going to Hogwarts ever since Bill was there!"
"Then your acceptance letter will be reaching any minute now. Meanwhile shall we all settle ourselves someplace comfy?"
Ever mutely nodded and headed to the kitchen. As they started to sit down, Ginny spotted an owl fly from a distance. "The owl! It's here! Are you sure I passed Professor? Are you really sure I'm ready?" she asked anxiously. "Well dear, as I said it all depends on you. If you feel you are ready then you are." Ginny but her lip and turned back towards the growing owl. Soon it swooped into their kitchen and settled on the table. With shaky hands Ginny open the letter while everyone waited with a batted breath.

"I got in..." said Ginny. "I actually got in..."
"Oh Ginny we're so proud of you! You showed just how special you are right now. Amazing! Being able to go to Hogwarts at the age of ten..."
Harry was sitting there quietly thinking. A sudden question came to his mind. "Professor, does that mean she'll come if age a year early?" The Professor gave it a moment's thought and said, "Well it is wizarding law so I doubt she will be able to... But meanwhile she can help at Hogwarts to be able to use her magic freely." Ginny nodded "I'll do it if I have to... And I really do want to go to Hogwarts early."
"Well so be it!" said Dumbledore with his blue eyes twinkling. They celebrated a little and soon it was lunch. Dumbledore agreed to stay for some lunch so they all ate together. After the Professor left, people roamed and worked and played for the next two hours. When 3 o'clock arrived Harry stood in front of the fire place ready to floo himself to Dumbledore's office.
He took the emerald green powder from Molly and shouted after stepping into the fireplace "Hogwarts!" He stumbled onto Professor Dumbledore's office after travelling through many fireplaces. "Ah Harry! Had a good trip?"
Harry looked up to see those twinkling blue eyes and another pair of muddy brown eyes looking at him. The professor was smiling and Lupin was laughing. "Do you know James had the same problem in flooing like you do?"
"Glad to know" grumbled Harry.
He sat down next to Lupin and across from the Professor. "Well, what did you call me here for Professor? Whats the big secret?" asked Lupin. "I think you should be asking ME that..." said Harry. Lupin looked at him puzzled. What could the secret be? That Harry was the one who knew more about it then the most powerful wizard ever? "What do you mean by I have to ask YOU?" he said. "Well the secret is regarding me so naturally you should be asking me about it rather then the Professor!" Lupin looked at the 'eleven' year old in shock. He managed to utter out "What is it?" Harry grinned at him and started explaining his 'past'. "I am actually Harry from the future... I just have my eleven year old body..." Lupin stared at him. "I came from a future where Voldemort died but his supporters gained more power then he ever could. There was destruction everywhere and almost everyone was dead. When I lost...someone very close to me, I realised I had to prevent such a future... So I came back in time to this year. So I can repeat it all and get a better one."
"But how? Is that even possible? I mean, you have to have SOME proof..." said Lupin.
Harry merely raised his right hand and swooped it down. Lupin found he was suddenly bound and gagged to the chair. His eyes were almost popping out of his head as his brain caught up to what had happened. An eleven year old, well an eleven year old from the future, but an eleven year old nevertheless had performed a wandless and non-verbal spell which was taught in the latter years! "How...? How? H-how can you do all this?"
"I told you! Im the Harry from the future. I have better powers and better control. I can do almost any spell non-verbally and every spell wandless." Said Harry.
"Wow" was all Lupin could say.
The professor who had been watching this quietly smiled at Lupin when werewolf looked to him for reassurance. "I can assure you all he is saying is true." Lupin turned grim.
"So how do you plan of defeating Voldemort and getting the better side of the future?" he asked. "It's a hard job... I don't know if you can do it alone..." Harry looked at Lupin with determined eyes. "I will. I have all the help I need right here around me. You'll get to know my plan soon, but first, do you know the prophecy?"
Lupin's puzzled look told him all he needed to know. Professor Dumbledore headed to a cabinet and took out the pensieve. Holding the wand to his head the Professor drew out the memory. Then after he dropped it into the basin, Sybil Trelawney appeared. Her voice came out raspy and somehow other worldly. It brought shivers down Lupin's spine. She said in her loud voice,
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."
"Does this mean you?" asked Lupin.
"Well it meant two things. It could have been me or Neville Longbottom. But the catch is that Voldemort would mark one if us as his equal. And he did so by giving me this scar that fateful day. I plan to be ahead of him in ways he can't imagine. Voldemort will rise in the fourth year. I plan on letting everything go as it was except some things like the Chamber of Secrets."
"Chamber of Secrets? What's that?" asked Lupin. "I'm sorry but I can't tell you. It's something I'll have to change. And I fear that if I tell I can change the outcome of my plan." Lupin frowned. "Well then tell me your plan and I'll help as much as I can."
Harry looked at Professor Dumbledore who was sitting ahead waiting for Harry to start. Harry hadn't told anyone the plan. He hoped that it would find the Professor's approval. "Lupin, do you know what horcruxes are?" Lupin nodded not seeing the connection between Harry's plan and such an evil thing as horcruxes. "What does that have to do with Voldemort?"
"Well," answered Harry, "Voldemort has seven horcruxes."
"Seven?" interjected the Professor. "I believed he had six!"
"Professor, the night he killed me, he accidentally made me a horcrux too. He never meant to. That's the reason why I share a partial part if my soul with him." The Professor's eyes turned grave. "Very well, continue." he said holding a hand up to stop Lupin from saying anything in between.
"I have a plan. I have until the 6th year before I believe he will even realise that I know about his pieces of a soul. So I intend on destroying one horcrux a year... At the end of 7 years, me."
"Bloody hell Harry you can't destroy yourself!" shouted Lupin. "Relax! If all goes well I won't be destroying myself, I'll be destroying the part of his soul in me so my soul can become whole. Now, since this year will be spent as a first year in Hogwarts and Quirell will be at my back, I plan on destroying the Diadem. Its not lost as everyone thinks! Its actually right here in the school. BUT! I'll wait for the right time to destroy it. Next year we will obtain the diary. That diary leads to the opening of the Chamber. But if I can, ill stop it."
"How do you plan on stopping that?" asked the Professor. "How can you stop the diary coming into the hands of whoever gets it?"
"I can Professor." answered Harry. "Please just trust me."
Lupin nodded as a sign for Harry to continue.
"So, in the third year, there is the matter of Sirius and Pettigrew." continued Harry. "Sirius? I thought he was in Azkaban charged for murder! How can he become a matter!" asked Lupin.
"Remus, Sirius is actually innocent. He's not the murderer, Pettigrew is. Speaking of that, I know the wizard council wont let him free. Is it possible to pay him a visit? I just want him to know the plan and to be able to keep a hold onto his sanity."
"That seems like a good idea Harry."
Harry nodded and said "So for the third year I plan on destroying the locket. Regulus' locket is at the house of Black which will become a place for your headquarters once he's freed."
"Onward my list goes as The ring, the cup, Nagini and Myself. I'll unveil what everything is slowly and what we'll have to do. Till then please don't ask for the risk of the plan backfiring." Finished Harry. The Professor and Lupin sat there waiting for someone to come and say that this plan was just a joke, but the look of determination in Harry's eyes told them all they needed to know. They would support him in anyway he needed. They both gave him a short nod before Harry said "I'll be heading home now. Its late..." The Professor and Lupin smiled as he called the Burrow, his residence since 3 days home. Harry said goodbye and flooed himself back to his new yet old family.
