When he did compete he made every single task look like a joke, then he battled Voldemort at the end of the year. But he refused to tell anyone about that or the fact that he had secretly married Ginny. In his fifth year Umbridge appeared to be attacking everyone but him, meanwhile Dumbledore was concerned with Curse.
The vigilante was described as ruthless and merciless, only ever leaving a single person alive and that person was always on the brink of death, they managed to stay alive long enough to say who had done it. One even managed to give the aurors a pensive memory of the attack, Dumbledore managed to get his hands on it and was impressed by what he saw. He knew that Curse would be a valuable asset to whichever side he chose, he had planned to recruit him when Curse brought himself to the great hall with a dead death eater.
Dumbledore's biggest embarrassment was the fact that Curse had beat him with a plate, throughout the year Dumbledore was also wondering why Harry hadn't been having dreams about Voldemort. Even if he was a master at occlumency he should still be experiencing the visions thanks to the horcrux, when he found out that Arthur was attacked and saved he was happy as that meant that Harry had to have had a vision and told people about it.
He was however surprised when he found out that Curse was the one who saved him and that opened a boatload of new theories for Dumbledore, soon the end of the year approached and Dumbledore was wondering when Voldemort would make his move. He was pondering over what to make about Harrys refusal to start the defence group he told Miss Granger to convince him to start when one day Granger and Weasley burst into his office, it took him a while to remove the silencing charms that had been placed on them but he got it done.
That was when he found out that Harry was heading to the ministry and knew about the prophecy, he quickly rushed there and found Voldemort was about to be blasted by Curse. His horror and shock shot up like a rocket when he found out that Harry was Curse, Harry refused his help at the trial and somehow managed to be given permission to do whatever he wanted and Dumbledore wanted desperately to know how he did it with the hopes of finding a counter to it.
His hint at it not being evil didn't prove to be very helpful, Dumbledore had himself, Granger and the order look through all the light books they could find and nobody was coming up with anything. The ministry wasn't of any help either, Dumbledore knew Harry was powerful and to have beaten both himself and Voldemort made him a danger, a very big danger. He needed to get Harry under control or risk another dark lord, he couldn't ask Ginny Potter as she would refuse and he couldn't take a direct approach, or use Weasley and Granger, the rest of the school was also loyal to him. He just couldn't figure out what to do.
On the day of the students return to Hogwarts the students searched the train with the hopes of finding Harry and Ginny but they couldn't. At the sorting feast, nobody could see them there, once the sorting had finished Dumbledore stood up to say something. Preparing to make a speech when the doors opened and revealed Harry and Ginny.
The two slowly walked forwards, both of them were radiating power and respect, leaving everyone else in awe. Ginny took a seat at the table while Harry made his way up to the head table, he jumped on the head table and knocked Dumbledore's goblet down, which caused juice to land on Dumbledore's white robes. Harry smirked, he and Dumbledore knew that Harry was now above all laws and rules and couldn't be punished. Harry turned to the crowd of students whilst still standing on the table. He spread his arms out, as if he was taking in the air and emotions of the people in front of him.
"I'm back bitches!" Harry shouted, the whole hall burst into applause and cheering, even most of the Slytherin table. Clapping, whooping and cheering were all heard, the teachers had to resist the urge to join in. a few minutes later the noise died down, Harry flipped off the table and landed just in front of it. He took a step forward and addressed the hall.
"Hi everybody, for those of you don't know me, I am Harry Potter. Student, rule breaker, vigilante and guy who does impossible things daily just for fun. I thought I'd clear something up today, I've already made a statement to the daily prophet but I figured you all should know personally.
The reason that I never told people that Voldemort had returned was because I knew the ministry would try to cover it up and discredit me, something which would have made the whole thing pointless. For those of you who haven't worked it out, Fudge was an idiot and the fact that he was minister is an insult to the whole of Britain. I can safely reveal it now as nobody can deny it and the new minister is not Fudge, I don't know if he is another idiot as our few meeting shave been brief, he seems alright but I will reserve judgement. At the very least, he can't be worse than Fudge and his pet toad, who I happened to have got sent to Azkaban!" Once again the room cheered, expressing its love of Harry and hatred of Umbridge.
