Alright, everybody. Back with another chapter.

This chapter, Harry will finally figure out what his heritage really is, and what was Dumbledore's reason for trying to kill him.

Let's get to it.

Chapter 3- Potter Island

Harry is jolted out of his sleep. He looks up to see Captain Felton standing in front of him, with a hand on his shoulder.

"My Lord, we're 20 minutes out," Felton says. Harry nods, and Felton moves to wake the others up.

Harry looks out the open door of the helicopter as it races over the ocean. They're only at about 500 feet, and Harry can see the waves cresting below them.

For a minute, Harry sits there, holding Ginny's hand. Then, from the cockpit, one of the pilots calls out, "Lord Potter! We're coming up on the island! You should be able to see the coast out the door in just a few moments!"

Harry leans out the door. For a moment, all he can see is the ocean. Then, off in the distance, the coastline of an island comes into view.

Within a minute, the helicopters fly over the coastline. As they do, Harry looks down, and sees a missile launcher placed close to the beach, with several guns surrounding it that are all aimed at the sky.

As the helicopters fly over the missile launcher, the Mirage 2000 pulls up alongside Harry's helicopter. Harry looks over as it pulls up into formation with the chopper. The visored face of the pilot looks right at Harry, and the pilot waves at Harry. Harry, somewhat in a daze, waves back. The pilot lowers his hand, before the Mirage banks away from the helicopters and flies out of sight.

"5 minutes to landing! Everyone get ready!" one of the pilots calls out. Harry and the others buckle their seat belts, while the soldiers grab hold of handles attached to the top of the cabin.

Five minutes later, the helicopters start to slow down. Harry looks out of the door, just in time to see the helicopter he's in cross over a fenceline, and the scenery below changes from grassland to an airport tarmac.

The helicopters fly on for about another 20 seconds, before they come to a complete stop. For a moment, the helicopters hover over the tarmac, then they slowly lower to the ground.

Once the helicopters touch down, Captain Felton releases his hold on the handle he's been holding onto for the last 5 minutes and leaps out of the helicopter. He then turns back and says, "Follow me, my Lord. You're expected at Olympus."

Harry feels extremely confused as to what is going on, but follows Captain Felton, still holding Ginny's hand tightly. Ron, Hermione, Luna, and Neville follow close behind, with several of the troops following behind them. Felton leads the group over to where a limousine is parked between a pair of Humvees.

Felton opens the door and gestures inside the limousine. "In here, my Lord," Felton says.

Harry looks at Felton in confusion. Felton just looks at Harry. After a few moments, Harry obeys and climbs into the limousine. The rest of the group follows him, and Felton closes the door behind him. Moments later, one the two Humvees parked alongside the limousine begins driving. The limo follows it, and the second Humvee follows the limo.

As the limo drives away from the airport and heads down a road that cuts through some woods, Neville looks at Harry and asks, "Where are we, and what is going on?"

"I have no idea. But, Captain Felton kept calling me Lord Potter. But, I have no idea why anyone would be calling me that," Harry responds.

The rest of the drive is made in silence. Finally, after driving for about 20 minutes, the limousine comes to a stop.

The door is opened by a solider outside, and Harry climbs out, with the rest of the gang following him. As soon as Harry steps out of the limousine, he stops short at the sight of their destination. A massive building, with multiple antennas on the roof, and with several missile launchers and gun batteries in a ring around the building.

"What is this place?" Harry asks to nobody in particular.

The solider who opened the door of the limo answers Harry's question. "This is our GHQ here on the island. It's codenamed Olympus," the man answers.

Harry looks at the solider and nods. The solider than says, "I'm to escort you inside. You are expected by the Chiefs."

Harry still feels very confused, but he nods and follows the soldier inside. Once inside the building, the soldier leads them to an elevator, which takes them several stories underground.

Once the elevator stops, the doors open into a massive room that looks like a cross between a conference room and military command room. And sitting at the conference room in the center of the room are four men. Three of them are wearing military uniforms. The fourth is wearing a suit.

As Harry and the other five teenagers near the table, the four men notice them. They quickly leap to their feet, and the three military men salute.

The man in the suit looks right at Harry and says, "Welcome to Olympus, Lord Potter. We've been waiting for you."

Harry looks at the man in confusion, then says, "Thank you. But, I don't even know who you are, much less what's going on."

"I thought that may be the case," the man in the suit says. He then motions to the open chairs and says, "Take a seat, and we'll explain what's going on."

Harry hesitates for a moment, then takes a seat. The other five teens also sit down.

One of the military men, who's wearing a dark green uniform, salutes Harry and says, "Army General Andrew Radcliffe, sir."

Another of the military men, who's dressed in a navy blue uniform, salutes Harry as well, and says, "Air Force General John Marshall, sir."

The third military officer, dressed in a white uniform, salutes and introduces himself as, "Admiral George White, sir."

Finally, the man in the suit steps forward and nods respectively towards Harry. "And I am Prime Minister David Brown, second in command of the Potter Clan and executive assistant to the Lord Potter," he says.

Harry feels very confused. "Wait. Lord Potter? Potter clan?" he asks in confusion.

"I'm guessing neither Dumbledore or anyone else told you the truth?" Brown asks Harry, who shakes his head.

Brown nods. Then, he begins his explanation. "Very well. Well, I'll start at the beginning. Harry, the Potter family is one of the oldest wizarding families. It may be one of the first wizarding families. Not only that, but by now, the Potter family is the heir to other powerful wizarding families."

"Long ago, in the Potter family's early years, they amassed followers. People who were loyal to the Potter family. Over time, they grew in number. It was a few hundred years before the founding of Hogwarts that the Potter Family officially formed the Potter clan, which was not only the Potter family, but all of their followers. Over almost two millennia since people first began pledging their loyalties to the Potter family, the Potter clan has grown to a society of tens of thousands."

"The Clan's power comes not only from its numbers, but also its resources. In the Potter family's early years, they amassed great wealth. That has only grown over the centuries. The Potter family has also inherited the fortunes of other old and powerful wizarding families. And, shortly after the formation of the Clan, they came into possession of this island. Potter Island."

"Potter Island is rich in resources. There is a small offshore oilfield, and thanks to volcanic activity that formed this island, there are multiple stores of valuable stones on this island, which we have developed a business of selling. In more recent times, we have invested heavily in various companies across the world, which has generated even more resources. Now, the Potter clan has enough wealth and resources to rival that of a small country."

Harry sits there, stunned into silence. After a moment, he asks, "So…I'm now the ruler of basically my own country?"

"Kind of. You are the sole surviving heir to title of Lord Potter, and thereby all its wealth and resources. But, as for it being a country, no. Despite our status, we still owe our ultimate loyalty to the British crown," Brown replies.

Now, General Marshall speaks up. "Now, your position as Lord Potter, and the wealth of the Potter clan, is not a complete secret. There are a few individuals who know the truth, or at least part of the truth. Now, some of those people have their own plans regarding your wealth. One of those people is here to explain the reason why we sent Captain Felton and his men to bring you here," he says.

The elevator doors open, and Sirius walks out. "Hey, Harry," he says with a smile.

"Sirius!" Harry says before he runs over to Sirius and gives him a hug. Sirius laughs as he hugs Harry back.

Once the two let go, Sirius says, "Alright. Sit down, and I'll explain the situation."

Harry and Sirius walk back to the table, and Harry sits down. Hermione pipes up and asks Sirius, "Where have you been for the last two years, Sirius?"

"I ran to go into hiding after the battle of the Department of Mysteries. A few weeks after I ran, I made the decision to try and find the Clan. I got a broom and flew out here. Got intercepted by fighters on the way in, but they let me land. I've stayed here ever since, helping them gather intelligence on Dumbledore," Sirius explains.

"What kind of intelligence? Sirius, what is going on? Why did Dumbledore try and kill me?" Harry demands.

Sirius sighs. "Harry, we have only got a full scope of the problem in the last few years. But, the clan has had suspicions about Dumbledore for a very long time. The problem stems from the fact that Dumbledore knew about the clan and its wealth."

"I don't know if you know, Harry, but Dumbledore used to be good friends with Grindelwald when they were young. They both had an idea to rule the wizarding world and lead Muggles out of hiding, all under the belief that it was for the Greater Good. Grindelwald went ahead with their plans, and in a more radical way. Dumbledore opposed him because he believed Grindelwald had deviated too far from their original plans, but he has still held onto his plan."

General Radcliffe speaks up. "For nearly two and a half decades, Dumbledore has been working to build up his own army to accomplish his plans of taking over the Wizarding world. However, he has been hampered by one major roadblock. He doesn't have enough resources to fund, train, and equip such an army. While his forces have grown substantially in the last couple years, they are still not at the level they need to be for him to have a guarantee of victory."

Sirius cuts back in and says, "From what we can gather, Dumbledore appointed himself as your legal guardian after your parents died. In doing so, he made it so that if you ever died, he would take your place as head of the Potter Clan. While I can guarantee much of our forces would not follow him, he would have full access to the Clan's resources."

"Wait, if the Clan knew about me, and Dumbledore's plans, why did they not help me?" Harry asks.

Sirius sighs. "They tried, Harry. Multiple times. When Voldemort came to Godric's Hollow, the Clan was on high alert, as they knew Voldemort was after them. They had a submarine stationed off the coast of Godric's Hollow to keep watch. When a drone that the submarine launched spotted Voldemort arrive in Godric's Hollow, the sub immediately deployed a team of Echo Force troops to stop him. But, they already knew it would be too late. According to the report from the sub's captain, he radioed James and alerted him to Voldemort's presence, and told him to set up a shield around the house, because the sub was about to launch its cruise missiles in an attempt to stop Voldemort. James shot that plan down, saying he would not allow innocents to die just to stop Voldemort."

"The troops didn't arrive until well after the fight was over. When they got there, the team found Hagrid had already arrived. The leader of the team, who is a wizard, said who he was, and asked for you to be given into their custody so they could bring you here to Potter Island. Hagrid refused, saying he had orders from Dumbledore himself to bring you to some of your mom's relatives. The team leader decided to give Hagrid the benefit of the doubt, and let Hagrid take you, but removing Hagrid's memories of them before they left."

General Radcliffe speaks up again. "Soon after this, we learned that Dumbledore had appointed himself your guardian. We found that very suspicious, and so began our investigation into Dumbledore. However, it was not until a few years that we realized the full scope of his plans."

"We also tried finding you. We were delayed, as we were called into action for the Falklands conflict. But, it may not have mattered much, as Dumbledore had cast powerful charms over the Dursley's house that prevented us from finding it. We went from your parent's death until your arrival in Diagon Alley not knowing where you were."

"Wait, you got called into action? What does that mean? And why didn't you come after me after you knew I was going to Hogwarts?" Harry asks.

Prime Minister Brown speaks up. "Like I said, my Lord, we owe our ultimagte loyalty to the British crown. We swore an oath of loyalty to them long, long ago. And, in modern times, we also, through Britain, are allies of the Muggle military alliance called NATO. We are subject to being called into action to help NATO and/or British forces into combat operations. In the time since your parents' death, our forces have been called up to serve in the Falklands conflict, the peacekeeping operation in Lebanon in the early 80s, the Persian Gulf War, no-fly zone operations over Iraq, and the Bosnian war. We actually have a naval task force on its way back to Potter Island after supporting a no-fly zone over the Balkan states. These conflicts have occupied a lot of our attention."

Brown pauses for a moment, then continues, "When we got that report of you showing up in Diagon Alley, we knew you would be at Hogwarts shortly. We were nervous about that, since we still did not know the extent of Dumbledore's plan. But, we knew you needed to learn, and we felt it would be better for you to go to Hogwarts."

Sirius cuts back in. "It wasn't until your fifth year that the Clan started to get really worried about you. Unfortunately, the Bosnian war was going on at that point, so it was hard for them to do much. Then, in your sixth year, they were working hard to build up their military power in preparation for the war against Voldemort."

General Radcliffe speaks up again. "When the Ministry fell, we began mobilizing to fight against Voldemort. We launched a few missile attacks against small hideouts of his, and deploying troops undercover to fight him. But, first of all, we were trying to track you down, and track Dumbledore down. You did good in staying hidden. We had no idea where you were until the robbery at Gringotts. Dumbledore hid himself well, too. Then, when we heard about you and the defenders of Hogwarts were under siege by Voldemort, we began mobilizing a large force to send to reinforce you. The battle was over before we could get our forces there, but, we knew Dumbledore was still out there, so we prepared Captain Felton's team to prepare for an extraction. As soon as you were kidnapped, and we were able to track your location, and dispatch Captain Felton's team and the supporting aircraft to rescue you and bring you to Potter Island."

Harry just sits there, stunned into silence. Finally, after almost a minute, Harry asks, "So…what are we going to do? Dumbledore may not have killed me, but he's still a threat, isn't he?"

"Yes, he is. As are Voldemort's remaining forces. We recognize this is going to be hard for you to adjust to. We want to give you some time to get adjusted to being here. Then, we need you. We need you to be our leader when we take on Dumbledore," General Radcliffe answers.

Prime Minister Brown smiles. "We have been waiting for your arrival for so long, my Lord. Now that you are here, I am sure that you will begin to see the truth about who you really are," he says. He then bows his head respectfuly and says, "Welcome home, Lord Potter."

I'll end there. I hope this chapter was okay.

So, I know the plot of Dumbledore trying to steal Harry's wealth to conquer the wizarding world has been used several times. But, I like it, so I hope you don't mind.

As you have probably guessed, this is going to be a fairly militaristic story, and the Potter Clan is going to be far more militaristic in this story than any other I've ever seen.

Well, until next time, review and let me know which characters you'd like to see on Dumbledore's side, and stay tuned!
