Chapter 174 - The Fall of Trust

"Most seem to be siding with Greyback" Remus admitted "a few packs have agreed to stay out of the war but they won't fight with us"

"Of course not" Harry said "Voldemort offers them much more than the light side does and that's why it's logical for them to join him. And Greyback is known as the strongest werewolf in Britain so he's currently the alpha wolf. I think neutral is the best you're going to get out of them, if I was you I'd try and see if you can get the other packs at the same level or better, if not then don't pester them. They may attack you if you do. What's the ministry been doing?"

"Not much" Tonks admitted

"Madam Bones tries but there is only so much she can do" Kingsley added

"Then you guys should help her out" Harry replied "see what's holding her back and try and deal with the problems. If it's people then look for a peaceful approach to get them out of the way, if you can't then you'll have to try and find another way to stop them from becoming problems. Come to me if you need any ideas, also Sirius may have some blackmail information on them, the Blacks were known for their blackmail.

Another problem is the education of the public, we need to get them to try and learn more defence and upgrade their security. You should all do…"

"Mr Potter" Dumbledore interrupted

"No, not me" Harry shook his head "I don't think I could handle this many people doing me at the same time"

"Mr Potter, you are not the leader of this organisation"

"No, there'd be cakes and drinks if I was the leader" Harry looked around the room before settling on Dumbledore "hydration and a full stomach is very important when planning the downfall of dark lords" Molly looked somewhere between wanting to tell him off and agreeing with him about having food at meetings.

"Severus" Dumbledore turned to Snape before his headache could increase "do you have any news for us?"

"Yes" Snape nodded "Red has forbidden any death eaters from attacking the Slytherin Potter."

"Why would he do that?" James asked

"He said 'we have better things to do than waste people on something as ridiculous as trying to kill Harry Potter'" Snape replied "he also said that 'if you imbeciles want to kill yourselves then fell free to attack the Potter family, if you don't get locked up in Azkaban then sleep with your eyes open because Potter will find you and kill you'."

"That's about right" Harry rubbed his face with his hands "anything else?"

"No, I was simply called to bring the dark lord more potions"

"Why can't you just poison him or something?" Sirius asked

"The headmaster" Snape drawled "has forbidden me from doing so"

"Why is that?" Lily asked Dumbledore

"I have my reasons" Dumbledore assured her

"What reasons Albus?" Moody asked

"I cannot tell you" Dumbledore replied

"Why not?" Kingsley frowned

"Yeah Dumbledore" Harry smiled "why not? It's not that hard to tell them that Voldemort can't die?"

"Wait what?!" Several order members blurted out as they looked towards Harry

"Oh, did he not tell you?" Harry asked with an innocent expression "he can't die"

"He's immortal?!" James asked with disbelief

"No" Harry shook his head "he's killable, I can kill him"

"Are you sure?" Sirius asked

"There's nothing I can't kill" Harry responded "and I can kill Voldemort, the problem is he can't be killed yet"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Lily asked

"Voldemort made some failsafe's before he died and…"

"Mr Potter!" Dumbledore interrupted once he got over his shock "do not tell them anymore"

"But we deserve to know" Tonks complained

"Actually…he's right" Harry said, surprising everyone

"What do you mean?" Lily asked

"This information is already considered forbidden by the ministry and pretty much everyone" Harry admitted "it's the darkest of magic and is considered forbidden for a reason. The less people that know about it, the better. But for now, let's just say that his immortality is coming to an end."

"What are you talking about?" Dumbledore asked

"I've gotten rid of most of his failsafe's" Harry smiled "I just need to get rid of the rest and Voldemort will be killable enough for me to….you know….kill him"

"But Harry? How can you be sure of that? How do you know how many there are?" Dumbledore looked at him with a look that told everyone he was begging to know.

"I can't tell you" Harry's smiled

"Why not?!"

"I have my reasons" Harry's smile grew much wider as he quoted Dumbledore to Dumbledore just so he could annoy Dumbledore.

"Mr Potter, you will tell me and you will tell me now!" Dumbledore commanded

"Hmm…..nah" Harry shook his head

"Mr Potter, I need to know!"

"Hmm…..nah" Harry shook his head

"You will tell me!" Dumbledore pulled out his wand

"Hmmm…..nah" Harry laughed

"Legilimens!" Dumbledore shouted as he tried to read Harry's mind, a few seconds later he was forced out and landed back on his chair when he looked up and saw most of the order had their wands pointed at him.

"How dare you try to break into my sons mind?!" Lily shouted

"Now, now" Molly put her hands up, trying to calm the situation down "let's not get hasty"

"You had no right to do that!" James roared

"Albus, what you did was very illegal and you did it in front of several witnesses" Sirius added

"Put your wands down!" Molly screamed "You are all overreacting!"

"Overreacting?! He tried to break into my sons mind!" Lily raged "Nobody has a right to do that!"

"You are all…." Mrs Weasley was cut off by the stunner that hit her in the chest, causing her to drop like a sack of potatoes

"Oh look, she's quiet" Harry put his wand back in its holster "what a miracle"

"I can't believe you actually did that!" Tonks spat at Dumbledore angrily

"Now Nymphadora I…" Dumbledore was cut off by a stinging hex to his nose

"Don't call me Nymphadora!" She growled

"I think you should come with me to the ministry Dumbledore" Kingsley said

"Don't bother" Harry said

"What do you mean? He tried to read your mind!" Remus growled.
