Harry sat in potions class, engrossed in his brewing concoction. The room was silent, filled only by the occasional bubbling of cauldrons and Professor Snape's soft, stern instructions. Suddenly, the classroom door swung open.

Two people walked in, a woman with striking red hair and a man with glasses. Harry's heart skipped a beat as he looked at them. They were unmistakably his parents, Lily and James.

"Names Ellie Conway," the woman said, causing Harry and Snape to exchange surprised glances. The man then chimed in, "I'm Eamon Sharkey." Harry stared at them, disbelief etched on his face.

"Do you think Snape and I are stupid?" Harry asked, his voice echoing in the silence of the room. James, or Eamon, looked at Harry, his brow furrowed in confusion. "What's your name?" he asked.

"Harry, answer my question," Harry responded, his voice firm. James shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "Of course Snivellus is stupid, but I don't know about you, Harry."

Harry rolled his eyes and walked out of the classroom, leaving everyone in stunned silence. He needed air, he needed to think. He had so many questions and zero answers.

Later, Harry was in the Quidditch field stands, alone with his thoughts. He pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and brought it to his ear. "Mum, Lily and James are alive," he said into the phone.

There was a pause before Petunia responded, "We know, baby boy. James is Voldemort." The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. Harry ended the call, his mind reeling.

Harry ran back to Snape's classroom, bursting through the door. "James is Voldemort!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with fear. Lily sighed, "Our son must really want to die."

"Not your son," Harry retorted, his voice trembling with emotion. "You both left me." With that, he turned and left the room, his heart pounding in his chest.

In the distance, he saw Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley. Lily and James were chasing after him, calling his name. Fear gripped him as he ran towards his aunt and uncle.

"Mum, Dad, help!" Harry cried as he neared them. He turned to face Lily and James, rage burning in his eyes. "You both chose this life, so stop!" he yelled.

With that, Harry turned and walked away, leaving his birth parents behind. The secrets of Hogwarts were beginning to unravel, and Harry found himself at the heart of it all.
