Summary: Dumbledore knew before Harry Potter came to Hogwarts what he needed the boy to do, and he knew exactly how to make him do it. A twist on the normal manipulative!Dumbledore story.

Disclaim Her: I had a lot of trouble deciding what sort of memories I would put in the Pensieve. It sort of put this story on hold.

A/N: Sorry for the wait. As stated above, there was some trouble in figuring out which memories to go over. There was also a bit of my playing in other fandoms, and a long period of just not really wanting to write. I've also had trouble finding time to write, as my job and my sleep schedule don't agree. *sigh*
But, somewhere between your awesome reviews, the not so awesome 'are you ever going to update?!' reviews and the AWESOME film Beastly, I found the time and the urge to write again.
At any rate, I'm quitting my job end of April and we'll be moving around then some time. I'll be looking for a new job and all, but with the way the economy is, I'm not expecting a hell of a lot. So I should have more time to write. *sweat*

HEADS UP! I changed the prophecy a bit, since I didn't like some of the wording. This has been edited in the prologue, just so no one decides to 'helpfully' point the inconsistency out to me. Or whatever.

Disclaim Her: This chapter would have been out for Yule, but our kitten had a high fever and then my family showed up for the holiday, so finishing the chapter got put on hold until everything settled. The kitten is on the mend and, last I heard, my family was stuck in Dallas, waiting for their plane to leave. XD

Summary: Dumbledore knew before Harry Potter came to Hogwarts what he needed the boy to do, and he knew exactly how to make him do it. A twist on the normal manipulative!Dumbledore story.

Disclaim Her: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.

A/N: I got this idea when reading another fanfic which was the usual Harry's-ticked-at-Dumbles-for-controlling-his-life-and-goes-Dark story. And I thought, 'What if Dumbles manipulated Harry to do EXACTLY that?!' So I decided to try and write it. We'll see how this goes.
This, by the way, takes place in Harry's sixth year, except for the prologue, which takes place after Dumbledore tells Harry the prophecy in his office. And there may be little HBP bits in there, but for the most part, it'll ignore that book. And DH. (I'm in denial about DH, FYI.)
That is all.

EDIT: Changed the wording of the prophecy a bit. (16 March 2011)
