Betrayal

It has been 20 years since Harry Potter defeated the Dark lord Voldemort. People hailed him as a Saviour, The Man Who Conquered. He was respected and admired .

Now they call him the Dark Lord , The Second He Who Must Not Be Named. But Harry doesn't care anymore. His once raging emerald eyes now lifeless.

After the death of Voldemort, Harry found himself marrying Ginny. He thought he loved her. Little did he know what darkness awaited him. Ron and Hermione's marriage was a matter of great joy but he couldn't feel happy for them. When Ron put ring on Hermione's hand and took a vow of magic. Magic retaliated against them. He could still remember it like yesterday. Hermione laid on his lap as she took her last breath but before she died she said " I am sorry.. Harry.. I..am sorry" . He didn't understand that day he why he felt pain like his heart was burning. Now he does. The Weasleys had been feeding him potions for years in slow amounts which made him their loyal puppet. After Hermione's death his magic become fiery. He became more violent and aggressive. Soon people in the Auror department started to fear him. Their eyes lost all respect and admiration. There  was only hatred and fear.

Now he finds himself on his last breath. His elf Winky on his side helping him sit. Harry asked " Is everything ready Winky?" Winky looked at him with sadness and hope and nodded. For the last few years he felt that his magic was withering him inside.

When he looked for answers, he found out that it was Dumbledore who did it. The night of his parents death Dumbledore took him to Madam Pomfrey and asked her to check him. When Madam Pomfrey told him about part of Voldemort's soul lodged in his scar Dumbledore immediately erased Madam Pomfrey's memories and used his elder wand to cast a powerful magic on his magical core, binding it so that he can only use little magic and nothing more.

Now had he understood why Sirius always insisted that he was more powerful than he knew. He thought Harry wasn't trying but actually it was Dumbeldore who bound his magical core.

That's why Sirius has always told him to keep practising magic because Sirius knew that he was more powerful. But due to Dumbledore's binding, he couldn't use all of his magic. And now, when he grew up due to the bound core not getting unbound in time, he started getting violent. His magical energy kept getting bottled up and he became more and more violent. He understood everything.

It was all Dumbledore's plan all along. He wanted to make him emotional and malleable so that he could easily control him.

He went to Hogwarts and took back the Elder wand from Dumbledore's grave. He stunned Madam Pomfrey and other teachers of the school. When Harry checked their memories he found some of them locked so Harry used the Elder Wand to forcefully break them and what he saw made him enraged. His magic got out of control and blowed up the room.

When he got conscious again he found himself locked up in a cell. Harry asked the guard what happened and the guard looked at him in disgust and fear. When he learned what he did he started crying. The guard told him that he will be held on trial for soon.

He asked them to contact his wife.

HARRY POV

When Ginny arrived I wanted to apologize to her. I wanted to tell her how sorry I am. However just as I was about to start speaking she stopped me by laughing at me. I was confused. Why is Ginny laughing at me. "Ginny are you ok?" She looked toward me mockingly and said "Better than ever". I was dumbfounded by her answer. Seeing me still confused she started laughing again.

Ginny then told me how her family has been using me for years to take my money and grow their house. I couldn't believe it. How could she do this to me? I asked her "Did you really never love me? What about our kids? Don't tell me you really feel nothing?" Hearing what I said she started laughing even more. "Yes, I love my children.But they are not yours. They are my and Draco's children." " No I don't believe you.Then don't look anything like Draco. They have my features. Why are you doing this to me?Why are you lying?"

She looks at me in pity and then says something which makes a chill run down my spine. "Have you heard of line theft?"

My whole body starts trembling when I heard her words. So that's it. That's how they did it.

I look at her and she gives me a mocking laugh and walks out of the door.

I stare there in silence and my whole body starts trembling. Betrayal. They betrayed me. They all did.
