... everything." Minerva sighed. "Albus used to be someone I trusted completely. I never thought he was capable of such duplicity, but everything I've seen and observed over the last couple of years just convinces me that I can't trust him anymore." Harry shifted, drawing their attention when he began to speak. "They're right, Dumbledore trusts the prophecy. He believes that it's going to come down to me and Voldemort. The real clincher though is that he wasn't planning on giving me any training. He was just content to sit back and watch, and I know he's let some questionable things slide, in the name of his 'greater good'." He clenched his teeth. "But who gets to decide what the greater good is? Why Dumbledore. What gives him the right to interfere with my life? He's not my guardian, so why did he have the authority to place me with my aunt and uncle? And why does he care so much what I do outside of school? Legally, as far as I'm concerned, he's just my headmaster. So why is he so interested?" Several of them nodded, and everyone certainly agreed. Albus' motives were muddled at best.

Harry glanced over at Ginny, and she looked back, knowing what he was thinking, even without sharing thoughts. She nodded, sighing slightly. We have to tell them, Harry. We've put it off for far too long as it is. We might not get an opening like this again. And you know they'll react better than my mum will. Harry agreed, and turned to Ron. "Ron, Ginny and I need to talk to Aunt Minerva and Sirius about something. Do you mind going home?" Ron frowned, looking between his best mate and his sister. Something was going on, and he wanted to know what it was. But he trusted them, and if they said they needed to talk to the adults alone, he would let them be. If they wanted to tell him, they would. He nodded. "I'll see you later," he said, before leaving the library and making his way towards the Floo. Sirius and Minerva shared a confused look, before they sat back down on one of the loveseats. Harry and Ginny followed their lead, and took the other loveseat. The two teenagers grasped hands tightly, looking very nervous. Minerva frowned slightly. "Harry? Ginny? What's going on?" Sirius groaned. "Oh ...
