The Truth behind Harry Potter's Scar

One of the brightest members of our tea gang (His name is Sudhakar Panchavarnam) had written a spoof on Harry Potter's Scar. It was very funny but interestingly realistic. So I thought I would put it up on my blog.

Here it goes..............

Hogwarts Top Secrets revealed.

Yes !! The chamber of secrets has been opened again. But this time not by Voldemort but by me.
I happened to visit Hogwarts yesterday in dream and tried to open the chamber of secrets only to find some interesting facts. Some of them funny and some are very shocking too..
Sharing you just a few....

  • Sirius Black was seriously black when born. He was turned white using color Transfiguration Potion.He applied for change of name as Sirius White, but Ministry of Magic rejected thrice.
  • When Voldemort was born, his parents did not name him for 6 months. From then he was called 'He who has not been Named". Later when Voldemort gained power, he forced people to call himself as "He who must not be Named".

And here comes a very interesting secret behind Harry's Scar..

I found this in Dumbledore's office in a pensieve which was locked in a cupboard.
The pensieve looked untouched for ages. Curious to know Dumbldore's memories, i bent closer to the pensieve. The blue surface began to swirl. I felt my feet leaving the office floor, falling falling through whirling darkness and finally landed on a dark lane.
It took few seconds to realize i was standing in front of number Four Privet Drive.

Beside me stood three people wearing Cloak.
A tall thin very old man with half moon spectacles. A woman with emerald cloak and a hat.
Another man too big, wild and long bushy black hair and beard, holding a bundle of blankets.
Yes .. they were Dumbledore, Mc. Gonagall and Hagrid. It was the day when Voldemort tried to kill Harry Potter. Very curious to look at Harry, I bent over the bundle of blankets. The little boy was fast asleep. But to my surprise his forehead was clear and couldn’t find the Scar.. Where is the Scar i asked myself when the silence was broken by McGonagall.

"Professor. Are you sure you want to leave Harry to his Aunt and Uncle?" asked McGonagall.

Yes Minerva. We cant get into the burden of taking care of this boy. This is the best place for him. I am keeping a letter and his uncle will explain him when is older."

But Professor, His Aunt too has a baby of the same age. What if Dudleys swap the Child or in worst case disown Harry. How are you going to identify Harry when he is 11 yrs old.?

"I have a way out Minerva". said Dumbledore smiling and slowly getting his hand inside the cloak.

He took out a long sword, looked more like the Gryffindor Sword. Dumbledore brought it closer to Harry.

"No Sir.. No..." Cried Hagrid.

"Professor...." said McGonagall.

With out hearing anyone, Dumbledore placed the sword on Harry's small forehead and created a mark. The skin split wide with blood rushing out. The young boy cried loudly breaking the silence.

No..Sir..No" again cried Hagrid taking out a large handkerchief and burying his face in it.

The boy's cry still on air. Dumbledore took his wand pointed at Harry "Silenceo".

The sound vanished but the boy still cried with blood flowing down.

"Give me that potion Hagrid" Dumbledore pointed at Hagrid.

“But Sir, this is for Dragons, not supposed to be used for wizard treatment.’

Thats ok Hagrid. Give me that for time being.

As Hagrid handed over the Potion,Dumbledore took the potion and applied it on the wound. The blood stopped.

"Sir, this potion doesnt cure completely. The wound might pain again"

Lets not bother about that anymore, Hagrid. We only need something to identify Harry. Its done. His aunt and uncle will take care of the wound. Minerva, Lets tell the Wizard world the scar was formed when Voldemort tried to kill him."


But Professor...How can we lie.." said McGonagall

Dumbledore took his wand pointed at McGonagall and Hagrid, Performed a Memory charm erased all the memory related to the scar. After few seconds both stood as if nothing happened.
Dumbledore then placed the little boy in front of the house and all three stood there for a minute and departed.

On my way back from Hogwarts I realized the person behind the scar was only Dumbledore, the secret known only to him. Harry's Scar pained after 4 years in hogwarts - not because of Voldemort's link but due to improper treatment done on the wound by applying Dragon's potion.
And Dumbledore didn't look at Harry (in the Order of Phoenix) because he was guilty of what he has done, that too for a silly reason. Guilty for having given improper treatment and being the man behind Harry's Paining Scar.
