Harry Potter and the Chariot of Thunder
Chapter One: Overhearing Conversations
"But Vernon-"yelled Aunt Petunia, her and Uncle were arguing again, they had been fighting all holiday."That boy, he has to stay-"
"Tell me why, what does he have to then?"yelled Uncle Vernon, he was obviously not interested in hearing in what Petunia had to say. "I'll tell you..." she said, she was heading to the closet. Harry6 figured he was about to be critized, She entered the room looking like she was ready to cry. "Come to the Living Room, you need to hear this" She muttered. Harry couldn't believe it, he was wanted in the Dursley's presence. He began to slowly trod down the stairs when Dudley came running up the stairs past Harry. Harry fell into the wall in front of him, he has landed in the Living Room. He got up and walked into the Living Room. "Well, I guess I have some explainign to do..." Aunt Petunia muttered. Something was obviously was bothering her, she was near tears. "Well, get on with it!" yelled Uncle Vernon, he was very impatient. Harry understood this, it was 9:00 and he was very tired. "Alright, I need to tell you something that has to do with Harry" Aunt Petunia said, she was now crying and she pulled out a wand and a few books out of a crate. She stopped for a few seconds and began to pull more things out. She took out some pictures and then she pulled a roll of parchment. She handed all these things to Harry and left the room quietly. Uncle Vernon followed her and apparently they began to argue. They were in the Kitchen talking about Harry so Harry decided to tag along and hear what they were saying by standing by the doorway. "Listen, Dumbledore says that he is alive because of the boy's blood and mine's are alive through Lily's blood, its the only way he'll live!"roared Aunt Petunia, she was finally yelling over Vervon.
"What? what do you mean?"yelled Vernon, he was furious now.
"Fine, I'll tell you how this thing works, That Dumbledore person gave my sister Lily some magical protection that protects the boy. Her blood which flows through mine's is what keeps the boy alive. As long as he's here, he cannot be killed by that person who killed his parents" she said proudly.
"I never hated my sister, I only despised her magical talent."
Harry could not believe his ears, Aunt Petunia had not hated her sister... "She has powers I wish I could have never achieved so I eventually stopped speaking to her, but when she and James died-"Uncle Vernon cut her off"Who is James, the boy she ran off with?"
"She didn't run off with him, she fell in love"bellowed Aunt Petunia
"She got herself killed-"roared Uncle Vernon but Aunt Petunia cut him off-
"SHE DID NOT GET HERSELF KILLED!" roared Aunt Petunia, she had enough of Uncle Vernon''s mouthing of Lily.
"She was killed by some one by the name Voldemort! She attepted to
save Harry's life and lost hers! Her and her husband... They couldn't give him to Sirius, he knew this-"Aunt Petunia was once again cut off
by Uncle Vernon.
"Sirius who? bellowed Uncle Vernon-
"Lily and James... he was their best friend and Harry's godfather"Aunt Petunia said, she sounded like she was attempting to calm down after what Vernon had said about Lily.
"Listen, it would be in best interest if we talk this over with Dumbledore himself"Aunt Petunia muttered, she was obviously was tired.Harry sank into a wall, he had just heard a conversation he had not wated to hear... He slowly got up and crept upstairs, he felt like talking to someone about what he had heard, he almost wished he could tell Dudley, even Dudley woulld not take him serious though.
Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon walked upstairs past Harry and looked at him when Petunia said"Harry, you need to have all your things packed and ready to go by tomorrow morning, we have a trip to go on."What trip, was I not notified?"Harry said quietly.
"Put it like this, you'll need to go"she said in a tone in which Harry had never heard her use. He sank into his bed hoping that the night would end soon. He glanced at the clock and noticed, it was only 9:35, he had only heard all this information in 35 minutes. How had the Dursley's known about Dumbledore the whole time. He grabbed his quill to begin writing a letter when he remembered that his owl Hedwig was out on a flight. He began to hope that his friend Ron's owl Hermes would fly through his window soon. Harry began to fall asleep when Dudley ran downstairs and went out to the porch, Harry looked out the window. Dudley began to howl like a dog at their neighbor Ms. Figg, she was throwing cabbage and carrots at him, by the looks of it, he was eating them. Harry stopped looking at the window and he decided to read his copy of "Unfogging the Future by: Cassandra Vablatsky " for Divination, his least favorite subject with Professor Trelawney. Then he thought about Potions and figured, "any class with Professor Snape is the worst class". So he then claimed that Potions was his least favorite class. He began reading and fell asleep...
Well, that's the First Chapter of my story, I hope you like it. I have plans to introduce 2 or 3 new characters in the next chapter. Maybe you can tell me what you think about my story.

Dynamite October 13th, 2003, 7:18 am Hey guys, I'm writing the second chapter now.
Chapter Two:The Bundle of Letters
Harry woke up the next day at 6:00 feeling a bit unsure about how the day was going to play itself out. He had never been tooken somewhere besides to Hogwarts and Grimmauld Place. Then it hit him, he had blocked out the fact that he was entering his Sixth Year at hogwarts or that his godfather Sirius Black had died. He wanted to tell Sirius all the things he heard before and ask him why he had never told him about Aunt Petunia knowing about his existence. Harry had been through so much since he had rejoined the wizarding world which would be 6 yeard from tomorrow but he did not feel like even caring. All he wanted to do was wake up and actually have a normal life like everyone else. He felt that everyone was out to get him. He was getting out of bed when Hedwig flew it with a bundle of letters. He hadn't gotten any letters all summer. He saw letters from Ron, Hermoine, Tonks and Mad-Eye Moody, Professor McGonnagall and the last one was from Albus Dumbledore. He slowly opened it and began reading:
Dear Harry Potter
As you know, you are entering your 6th year. Seeing how under certain circumstances, you and a select few have been chosen to Start your Hogwarts Term earlier for some training in group classes
in which you need to meet me at King's Cross on the Date of :
July 25th
If not, you will be picked up, we need you to be present at this conference. If you are not, you will miss out on the chance of a lifetime.
Sincerly, Albus Dumbledore
"What is this about?"
Harry said under his breath, he eventually read Ron's letter next.
Dear Harry
I guess that you don't want to be bothered about Sirius, he's gone and I know that's hard to deal with but, you need to come to your senses. The Ministry Of Magic is going to allow Sixth Years at Hogwarts take Apparation Practice on July 20, then we need to be at King's Cross on July 25 for some "special training" but I guess that I'll see you there. How about you come here on July 15? It would be very convienient for us all. Well, that's all.
Your Friend,
Ron Weasly
"Apparation Tests?"
Harry said in excitement, he was probaly gonna love taking that test.
He decided that he'd read Hermoine's next. He opened the letter. It read:
Hey Harry,
I was wondering if you got some letter about Apparation ans training before our Sixth Year starts. I'm pretty excited about it, I can't wait to try. I also heard that Neville, Seamus, Dean, and Ginny got the same letters. I'm busy wondering how Ginny got the letter but then I notice, two First Years by the names of "Michelle Skystreak" and "Laurena Rodriguez" got the same letters. Well, I'm going to be setting out for the Burrow on July 15, I'll hopefully see you there, that's all.
Your Friend
Hermoine Granger
"First Years?"Harry said confused.
He looked up at his calendar, it was only July 9, he had not to worry about anything. He looked at his clock, it was only 6:35, he had been woke for 35 minutes. He layed back down and decided that he'd read the rest of the letters later.
Well, that's shorter but that's the second chapter.
Dynamite October 13th, 2003, 3:43 pm Chapter Three:The Very Special First Years
Harry woke back up around 8:00 and went downstairs to eat. He made himself a bowl of cereal and ate on the front porch. It was July 10th, it was a very sunny day so he finished eating and sat on the porch. Then three girls approached them. He recognized one of them, she was Hermoine Granger, fellow Gryffindor and one of his best friends He nearly began to laugh He didn't know that Hermoine had tracked him dow. She signaled Harry to meet him around the corner. Harry walked down Magnolia Crescent She ran up to him and so did the other girls."Why, hello Harry!"Hermoine said very excitedly, she was hapy to see him. "How did you find me?"Harry said he ws very confused. "Well, I put a tracker on Hedwig, he knew this so he got to you as fast as you could."she said very quietly. "So I should introduce you three"Hermoine said more calmy than before.
"Harry, this is Laurena Skytreak, she's a First Year at Hogwarts."
"But is she a wizard?"
"Well, she's a muggle, she lives around my house, I've been appointed her mentor so she'll probaly be in Gryffindor.
Harry looked at the girl, she was about 5"5, a bit shorter than Harry. She looked of Puerto Rican Descent, she had long gold hair, it was very long and she was wearing a pink dress with red boots. She had a very deep shade od Hazel eyes and her eyes seemed to put a trance on him. She reacked out her hand and said "Porqué hola, usted debe ser potter de Harry, mi nombre es Laurena Rodriguez. " Harry looked at Hermoine and said "She only speaks spanish?" He said confused, "No, its her native language but she speaks english perfect. Then the girl Laurena said "Why hello, you must be Harry Potter, my name is Laurena Rodriguez." "Its very nice to meet you too." Harry muttered. "The other girl is Michelle Skystreak, it's sorta weird, I think I made a typo in that letter I sent you.."Hermoine said, she was trying to stay calm, she was tired obviously.
Harry looked at the other girl, she was taller than Laurena, she was African Americanv with black hair. He looked at her and looked at her face. She has dark blue eyes, whick was very unusual to him. Then she looked at the end of the street, her long black hair suddenly had red streaks in it. The girl turned to speak to Harry, "Why hello, I'm Michelle, how do you do?" she said gleefully. She seemed to enjoy Harry's presence, she was eying him. "Fine" he muttered, he wanted to talk to Hermoine alone about what he had heard the Dursley's say, he decided he better not. Hermoine pulled him aside so they could talk. "How did these First Years get to take Appartion Tests?" he bellowed. It did not seem very fair to him, he was busy wondering what had happened. "Read this article in the Quibbler" she said very calmly. Harry began to read.
The Quibbler News: Apparation Tests and Special First Years
Today, July 5, the Ministry of Magic releases information that Appaation Tests are being took at Hogwarts for the Sixth Years before term starts. This will be very convienient, but the N.E.W.T tests come up later in the Sixth year. There isn't any more information on Apparation Tests at the moment.
There are three very guarded wizards coming to Hogwarts this year. They aren't being named yet but they are being admitted into Hogwarts because of a long line of traces of magic in their family. They have caused a few dozen catastrophes and willl be taught before the New Term starts. All we know at Press Time is that "These two kids are being heavily guarded from any harm, it is our buisness why she is guarded" quoting Cornelius Fudge.
"Hermoine, what does that mean?" Hary muttered under his breath.
"It means that these two kids are under watch of the Ministry of Maic and we have to find out why" she said coolly.
"Why do we have to?"Harry muttered again, he was agitated.
"Because one of them, Mark Evans, he's probaly somehow related to you somehow...
"WHAT"He yelled so everyone could hear him, apparently she had chosen the wrong words to say.
Hermoine and the other girls began to walk down the street and Harry silently began to follow them. He had already gotten himself into something before the Sixth Year at Hogwarts had started...
Dynamite October 13th, 2003, 7:49 pm I promise to do another chapter later if anyone likes my story, please look at my story.
Dynamite October 13th, 2003, 9:48 pm Chapter Four: The Trip
Harry got back into his room unnoticed, he obviously wasn't noticed crawling back into him room. He had to pack all his stuff so the Dursley''s would not be mad at him for not being ready to go. He was still packing when he heard Dudley and his mom talking. "Dudley, we are going on a buisness trip, we need you to watch over the house.Aunt Petunai squeaked. "But then why is Harry going?"Dudley replied, jealously. "Its for his abnormality"she muttered. Dudley got quiet and left the room. Harry suddenly looked at the clock, it was 9:35, he had been awoke since 8:00 wen He had seen Hermoine and the first years.[INDENT]He was done packing so he took a nap. He began to doze off when he was woke up by Aunt Petunia. He had been sleep for about five minutes. He woke up and draged all of his Hogwarts stuff into the Dursley's new RedMinivan. Harry sat in the back of the Minivan when he saw Hermoine and those two girls dragging their stuff down Privet Drive. Hermoine was yelling furiously and she hopped in the van. Michelle's hair was still red and swinging around in every direction, Laurena on the other hand was running with a empty trunk like Michelle and was running rather fast. They landed by the side of the minivan. Hermoine opened her mouth to speak but Uncle Vernon began yelling.
"Who are you kids?" he yelled furiously, he was not very happy.
"They're my friends from school..." Harry said in disbelief.
"Well what are you girls waiting for?"Aunt Petunia said very nervously.
"WHAT? They aren't going with us!"Uncle Vernon bellowed.
"They'll drive with us, were going to see Dumbledore."
Well, I gotta go, I still have to finish this chapter. But if you want to post feedback, go here.

Dynamite October 14th, 2003, 9:10 pm I am sorry about not posting in a while.
Hermoine sat in the middle and Michelle sat by the other window behind Aunt Petunia. Laurena had sat behind Michelle with the trunks because there was no other seat availiable and she was the only one who was small ebough to fit back there. Uncle Vernon was furious and apalled that the Girls were in the car with them. Harry was sort of happy he was not alone. He began to read his book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them" by Newt Scamander. He read some of the things Ron had wrote in them in the Second Year at Hogwarts and dozed off. They had left for the ride by 9:45 so Uncle Vernon claimed "Were a little behind schedule" and "Well, we could be there by now". Hermoine rolled her eyes every time that he said something. The ride was very quie until Vernon and Petunia began to ask Hermoine questions.
"So where are you from"Aunt Petunia said as polite as she could.
"I'm from a small city in France"She replied, Even Harry knew she was lying so Michelle began to giggle.
"So are you--"Uncle Vernon began, he stopped talking.
"Am I a wizard?"Hermoine replied, she was confident to not get yelled at.
"Er--Yeah, are you a freak like the Potter boy?"He said scared, like Hermoine was about to cast magic on him.
Hermoine began to turn a light shade of red, she was growing in anger and she was beggining to get very angry. After a few seconds, Harry began to speak.
"She's not a freak, she's a normal human being just like you" He said coldly.
"But she's a witch"Aunt Petunia said calmly.
"Listen, I have no wizard blood, I was admitted to Hog- My school because I had capabilities to be in the Wizarding World and to Cast Magic." Hermoine replied.
The rest of the ride was quiet because all the kids but Harry and Laurena fell asleep, Hermoine was still angry and Vernon and Michelle was snoring faintly. Laurena on the other had was looking out thw window with her gazing Hazel eyes and began to speak to Harry quietly.
"Harry?"she said , she sounded very polite.
"Er--yeah?"He replied hazily, he had almost got to sleep.
"'Ave you heard of Quidditch?"she said. Her spanish accent was very quiet and she barely spoke anyway.
"Yeah, I'm on the Gryffindor House Team, why?"
Laurena begins to breathe hard, gasping for air, it seems like she is suffocating. She begins to calm bcak down when all of a sudden, Laurena's Eyes began to blike uncontrollably. Her eyes began to flash Gold and Yellow. Harry began to worry.
Well, that's the end of chapter 4, I'll just say that Chapter Five is " The Return"

Dynamite October 15th, 2003, 9:43 pm "Laurena!"He shrieked
He began to look at Hermoine who was now awoken and looking at Harry, Harry looked at Michelle who began to speak.
"LAURENA! Are you having a vison? What do you see?"Michelle said in a whisper
"A vision? What do you mean?"Harry interrupted.
"Don't you get it, she's a seer and Dumbledore wants her at Hogwarts."Hermoine blurted out.
The moment Laurena stopped moving, Uncle Vernon began yelling.
"What just happened?"
Michelle began yelling back at Vernon, he looked humiliated to be disses by an 11 year old.
"My friend just had a vision, does that Even matter to you?"
"Er--What makes you think I care at all? I Hate even being near your kind of people. You little nasty freaks-"
Uncle Vernon had chosed the wrong words to say indeed, Michelle's eyes began to glow, she was furious. She had an irritating Texan accent, Harry trid to calm her down.
"Hey Michelle, he didn't mean to say that"Harry said cooly, he thought he had calmed her down. Apparently, it had not worked.
"Listen Harry, he's your Uncle and that's cool an all but he dissed me, am I ain got a temper to be reckoned with"She said coldly so only Hermoine, Harry and Laurena who was still uncosious could hear them.
"I know but--"Harry started to say, Michelle quickly began to speak.
"Listen Harry, Laurena is a very gifted seer, she can predict anything at any given moment. I'm the other peice of the puzzle. My anger causes the visions to grow more painful, she gets more information. We are witches indeed but we both have a special power. My anger, its like when it goes off, she gets wind of whatever's about to happen in 10 minutes time. The visions are about 1 minute long, she then taked about 3 or 4 minutes to recover. Think about what could happen in the moments time." Michelle stopped speaking.
"Were here!" Aunt Petunia said gloomily.
No one had noticed that they had been driven to London so, they all got out of the minivan and Harry couldn't believe it. He was staring at Grimmauld Place.
"Why are we here, here of all places?"Harry bellowed, he was shaking all over.
"Were here to see Dumbledore, is that a problem?" Said Aunt Petunia, she was obviously irritated.
"Why'd you never tell me you about Dumbledore and that you had met him?"Harry said shaking once more.
"Don't question your Aunt, she's the closest thing you've got to a mom or a parent!" snapped Uncle Vernon, obviously Harry was furious. Before Harry could began going of a rampage at the Dursleys' Hermoine and Michelle lugged their trunks out of the minivan. Harry got in the van to get his when Laurena was sitting down crying.
"What's the matter?"He said as calm as he could, he was trying to have a straight face.
"I-- I saw this all happening, I can't tell you what's about to happen now. You must promise not to get mad when the House Elf called Dobby comes outside., whatever you do, don't get mad!"she said forcefully, Harry wondered what she was talking about, he got his trunk and said
"That was all you saw in your vision?"
"I saw more, it was a good thing for you, Hermoine and the Red headed boy with freckles."she said coolly, she was much happier than before. Harry instantly knew she was talking about Ron Weasly, his other best friend.
Harry got out of the car when he saw Dobby at the front door of Grimmauld Place, he was wearing shredded peices of a pair of Sirius' old jackets, He also had a picture of Sirius of a small hat with "R.I.P, you will never be forgotten" engraved on it. Harry silently dragged his stuff inside with the others ignoring Dobby's "Hello Harry Potter, how was your holiday". Dobby looked sad but he greeted the Dursleys and they both shrieked. Harry began to wonder, when's the good part of Lauena's vision?
Well, that's the first third of the chapter, there will be two more parts. I'll post them later.

Chapter Five: The Return Part 2,
Harry walked into Grimmauld Place. Apparently it was empty. Harry hadn't seen Dumbledore waiting for him in the doorway. Obviously, Hermoine had.
"Professor Dumbledore!"
"Hermoine Granger, Entering your Sixth Year I hope?"
"I'm supposed to get my results today!"
"I have them here for you, I'm here to deliver them personally." Dumbledore said proudly, Hermoine grasped her letter while Harry looked at his own O.W.L results.

"She didn't write great on mine"Harry mumbled
"Well, I hac more classes that you, that--" Hermoine started but Michelle interrupted.
"Are we totally invisible or are you two too busy to notice us?"she said, she sounded very irritated.
"Well, Michelle Skystreak, the Texan singer I propose?" Dumbledore suddenly said. He had a wide grin upon himself.
"Well, I didn't lose my record deal just to end up not going to Hogwarts, I can always get back to singing."
"All of you, lets enter the kitchen, I suppose we can all talk iin there."Dumbledore said gently. Harry felt the urge to get angry at Dumbledore, Harry guessed that it would be in his best interest to not even try. Harry just followed Hermoine, Laurena, Michelle, and the Dursleys' with Dumbledore into the kitchen to talk.
Already sitting there was Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks and Mad Eye Moody. They all greeted the Dursleys' with utter grim faces. The Dursleys' also gave a nasty face. Everyone sat down and Dumbledore began to speak.
"I suppose you know why were here , do you not Petunia?"
"I know why we are here, this is about the Chariot."she replied.
"The Chariot? What Chariot?"Harry blurted out, he was suprised.
"The Chariot of Thunder, its a like a Sanctuary for lost souls, only two people can reach it if they seek someone's will, I read about it in Hogwarts: A History, have you even tried to read it? " Hermoine said sounding very disctactedly.
"Good research Hermoine, they tell me what this is about?"Lupin said calmly, he began to look very concentrated.
Hermoine took a few seconds to think and she said,
"You want to send Harry and someone through that -barrier protecting the chariot to get the will Harry's
parent's left him?" she said questionably.
"Hello, what's goin on here?"Harry said crossly
"Precisely Hermoine, you got it right!" Dumbledore said enthusiatically. He looked delighted and The Dursleys' looked at eachother. Dumbledore had ignored
"When will be going through the barrier?"Aunt Petunia squeale.
"You will be informed by the end of May next year."Dumbledore said gently.
"What is going on here? I'm in my godfather's old house, no one wants to tell me what's going on, will someone fill me in?"
"We will start to fill you in now.Dumbledore said gently.
Harry began to listen as Dumbledore began to speak.

Chapter Five: Final
"The Chariot was invented right after Voldemort was defeate. We decided that the only way the Chariot could be use was if the person trying to use it was really desperate." Dumbledore said quickly.
"What kind of powers does it have?" Harry blurted out.
"The Chariot, it has mystical powers, it can produce any kind of powers, if you really need help from the Chariot, it will instantly teleport to you and help you anyway you can..." Tonks said and faded off.
"So what do we need it for then?"Laurena said questioning what Tonks had meant.
"It means that Lord Voldemort will find out about it soon or later..." Lupin said.
"WHAT, how can he, isn't only for good uses?" Hermoine said in a scared voice.
"We said that it could be used if someone was REALLY desperate, that means that if someone tells him about it, he'll find a way to summon in to bet back to full power."
"How do you summon the Chariot?" Michelle interrupted, there was something about Michelle's texan accent that bothered Uncle Vernon, everytime she spoke, he twitched.
"Well, that's what were getting to, you need these special spell encrypted thunder zodiac stone necklaces!" Tonks cried out, sounding like a commercial.
Tonks took out a small case with 15 small thunder shaped necklaces. She handed out the necklaces to Harry, Hermoine, Laurena, Michelle and Aunt Petunia. Harry was suprised to see Petunia get one.
"Those are protection from any enimies, if you really need help, use your thoughts to summon the Chariot." Dumbledore said, now sounding more civilized.
"What does it look like?" Aunt Petunia said finally speaking.
"It will look like whatever you want it to, the question is,when you need it, what will you want it to look like?" Lupin said, finally speaking once more. Moody hadn't spoken much the whole time.
Well,that's all, me and the Dursleys will go into the family room and talk, why don't you children go get your self aqquainted in your rooms. I am sure that you will like it here." Dumbledore said. He led the Dursleys' into the family room. He turned around and yelled "The Weasley's will return soon, well, go to your rooms and unpack!"
Well, what do you think?

Now to the Next Chapter...
Chapter Six:Suprises, Laughs and Seriousness
Harry did as he was told, he watched Hermoine whip out her wand and chant "Lucidio" at the door, the very next moment the door moved away from it's place, the hinges were removed now. The Door that was once guarding the room Ginny and Hermoine shared was now in the hallway laying on the floor.
Hermoine and Laurena both began to lug their stuff in the room, Michelle was just standing there. Michelle pulled out a tissue and cleaned off the handle of her trunk, after she was done she dragged the trunk in the room. Michelle's Trunk had accidentally fell open when Hermoine had pulled out her wand and muttered "Alohomora" opening the lock on the trunk. Harry noticed that the Door that Hermoine had moved was flying back into place. Hermoine and Michelle begn to argue and yell at each other.
Harry smelled the air and felt instantly tired, he felt himself getting sleepier. He manages to drag himself in his and Ron's room . He saw a note on the bed from Ron, Harry was so tired, he had to re-read it three more times just to make sure he knew what it meant.
Hey Harry,
I figured you'd get here home before us. We are at Neville's house on a Small Order meeting with McGonnagall and she allowed me and Ginny come along, Fred and George were forced to come, Charlie and Fred and Mum and Dad are at the Ministry. The Ministry have been working weirdly since school let out, even Fudge lost his mind, he lifted the "Underane Wizard"" Rule. Mum wasn't too happy though. Ginny has been putting her Bat Bogey on me every time I say "You know who" so she's making me say Voldemorts name. McGonnall said that she had wished that you and Hermoine could have been here. I'll see you later, and I have some great news.
Ron
P.S. I found out that your in Sirius' old room.
"Well, that just means more stairs..." Harry muttered.
When Harry had finally reached Sirius' old room, something kept him from even touching the door. When he had touched the door, he thought about all the times that he had with before Sirius before his death.
He felt he had the Crucio Curse on him and a voice from the back of his head was telling him not to go into Sirius' room.
"Don't go in there, Sirius will be mad"
"What? He's dead"
"No he isn't, he's in the room sleeping so dont' disturb him"
Harry found himself talking to himself and opened up the door. He slid his trunk into a corner. He looked around his new room and smelled the air again. He was getting more drowsy.
"Sirius had once used this room" he thought while he was changing the sheets. After he was done he flopped on the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~
Harry slept for a whole day without realizing it. He slept dreamless dreams which was a lot better that usual, after what had happened in the Department of Mysteries, he had been having a lot of dreams but he could never seem to recap what they were about. As it turned out, he wasn't the onlt one who slept a lot. All the girls who had arrived at Grimmauld Place when he had were still asleep. They stayed asleep whren the Weasly Children got home, the moment that Ginny and Ron entered their rooms, they were also tired and fell asleep soon.
Harry woke up on the Twelth of July without realizing it . He did not know what time it was ether. He looked into the hallway and heard three people talking, obviously they didn't know that Harry was eavesdropping.
"O'gwarts?"
"Yeah, she was transferred out of Beauxbatons.."
"Perchè, era un buon allievo?"
"What?"
"I said,Why? She was a good student?"
"Madam Maxime feels it would be safe it she transferred..."
"Vat vood that ave to do with us?"
"Some students from your old schools have been transferred to Hogwarts."
"So Gabrielle, she as been transferred?'
"Yeah, Dumbledore figured it'd be safe"
"Oh, I unzerstand, Gabrielle will be soo pleased that she's going to O'gwarts!"
The people who were talking, their voices were so familiar, as they kept talking, Harry found out who was speaking. It was Viktor Krum, Bulgarian Seeker former, Durmstrang Student, Fleur Delacour; An accountant at Gringotts wizarding bank and former Beauxbatonds Student.
He had met these two people at the Tri-Wizard Tournament in his Fourth Year. That was also the same year Cedric Diggory had dies at the hands of Lord Voldemort. What were Krum and Delacour ding at the Order's Headquaters though?
After some more talking, Harry knew who the thrid voice belonged to, Charlie Weasly,one of his best friend Ron's older brothers.

Dynamite November 14th, 2003, 10:37 pm Chapter Seven: Preparing for Apparation Tests
"So what is this all about, Sir Charlie?' Fleur moaned.
"It means Diggory won' t let wont' let the Ministry crumble like Fudge did when he was running it."
At that moment, Harry couldnt believe what he had just heard, Fudge was no longer the minister? Harry had to get some proof but he didn't want to be seen, he got his Invisibility Cloak and walked down the stairs past Charlie, Viktor and Fleur.
Remus, Lupin, Tonks and Professor McGonnagall were sitting at the Kitchen Table when Moody looked his way, Harry instantly knew Moody saw him. Harry sild back up the stairs and took off the cloak and stuffed it under a cabinet by the stairs.
He walked into the kitchen and gretted Tonks, Moody, Luic and McGonnagall and poured himself a cup of Orange Juice and walked out the room. He approached the Meeting Room when Laurena, Ginny, Ron and Michelle came tumbling down the stairs. Apparently they had all tried to get down the stairs at the same time.
Hermoine was in the Meeting Room with her eyes cosed and was muttering an incantation. Every five seconds, she'd re-appear in another part of the room, she was studying Apparation. She hept doing this for a while when Fred and George apparated right in her face, scaring her.
"Ahh!!! What are you two doing?" Hermoine yelled.
"Were here to speak to our Buisness Advisors. Harry, Ron, may we have a word?" Geroge said calmly looking at Hermoine tentavily.
Harry followed Ron and George into the Kitchen as Ron followed and began to speak to him.
"Aye Mate, how you been?" Ron said under his breth.
"Not bad, you?" Harry replied.
"Fred and Geroge have been bothering me all vacation, other than that, great." Ron replied as they all sat in the chairs that Lupic, Moody, Tonks and McGonnagallw were once sitting in.
They talked for about a Hour about how Fred and Geoge's Joke Shop was going, the sales, profits and how Harry, Ron and Hermoine were all getting 5%each or profits sent into their Gringotts Account. The Weasly Family were getting 25% of the profits.
The Meeting ended in about 1 hour, as Hermoine apparated in the room from the Hallway. Harry and Ron looked at her in amazement, she was near Mastering Apparation, she apparated out again, Harry and Ron turned back in Fred and George's direction but they were gone, they had went back to Zonko's.
To all who've liked my story, can you PLEASE POST in the feedback???

Dynamite November 15th, 2003, 2:39 am I'm continuing the chapter now, I'm no longer busy.
Days went by and seeing how Harry, Ron, Ginny, Michelle, Laurena and Hermoine were left home alone most of the time because of Order Meetings, Harry and Ron began to Practice Apparation. It was July 16, 4 days from Hermoine spent the whole day Apparating while Ron and Harry looked in the same books that Hermoine had used to learn all of the Apparation techniques.
"Apparation; The Many Journeys, by Allesa Valdeacrikey?" Ron said, Harry and Rons were looking down at a list that Hermoine had composed for them . The list had about Five good books about Apparations, they had to study in the little time they had, It was already July 18th and they hadn't managed to learn much. Harry had mamaged to get from the Meeting Room to theKitchen, Ron had managed to get from the Meeting Room to Outside the Door of the Meeting Room, which was not very far. Hermoine was able to Apparate to any point in the house and she was making it known well.
Everytime Tonks or Lupin were leaving for a meeting. Hermoine would appear in front of them, to say "Goodbye!". Her constant Apparation was making Ron very tense and Harry Nervous.
To make things even worse, Laurena and Michelle were as irritating as can be. Michelle would always begin to sing at random, singing at the top of her lungs and Laurena singing right with her. They could sing but it was getting really irritating.
~~~~
The morning on the day before Apparation Tests, Hermoine and Ron seemed really tense. Ginny was reading a book, twitching everyone few moments. It was almost as she was nervous For Ron. Michelle and Laurena were dancing with the most loud stomping you could imagine and Fred and George kept popping in and out of the house for materials.
It was about 3:30 when Ron and Harry managed to master enough knowledge for Apparating, just in time too, the tests were the next day. Ginny made a suggestion that they all go to Zonko's for a treat to themself, Ginny approached the Living Room fire, Harry Hermoine, Ron, Laurena and Michelle following.
Ginny reached for the bottle of Floo Powder and got in the lit fire when Michelle began to complain.
"We dont ACTUALLY have to enter that fireplace, right? I dont wanna ruin my dress, nonetheless my life!" Michelle Shrieked, her Texan accent was really getting on Harry's nerve.
"Well, your not gonna die or mess up your clothes, do you really think the fire will burn your stupid Leather Dress? I hate fashion!" Ginny yelled as she yelled "Zonko's Joke shop!"
"Well, Michelle and Laurena are going next." Ron said as Laurena got into the fireplace and whispered "Zonko's Joke Shop" and she dissapeared.
Michelle seemed really scared as she approached the fireplace, she had a look of panic on her face, Hermoine pushed her in and Michelle squeaked "Zonko's Joke Shop". Michelle dissapeared.
Harry, Ron and Hermoine took no time argue over who was going next, Ron went first, Hermoine went second and Harry was last. He had the Floo Powder in his hands and muttered "Zonko's Joke Shop". He was instantly transported to the Fireplace of the Jokeshop.
~~~~
"So, where are the Skiving Snackboxes?" Hermoine said loudly over all the customers voices. It was so hard to hear yourself thinking in Zonko's. The store was jammed packed. Harry looked over at the Cash Register and saw Lee Jordan operating it,. Lee waved in they're direction as he put a few Sickles in the Register.
Harry, Ron and Hermoine sat at a table as Michelle and Laurena watched Fred use a fake wand. Ginny was testing a new snack that was still in development. It was called "Sugar Seizures".
Ginny popped a small green tablet in her mouth, she began to shake uncontrollably. The Crowd around her began to applaud when Michelle said
"Give me one of those Sugar Seizures!" She took one from Fred's hands and popped it in her mouth, but she didn't begin to shake, she only twitched. Michelle's hair began to wave in every direction as she closed her eyes and resisted the shanking. As Ginny recovered from her seizure, Michelle's's Leather Dress began totwirl as her eyes began t open back up.
When Michelle had resisted the seizure for about 10 minutes, she collasped and the moment she hit the ground, Laurena and The Twins were standing over her, making sure she was not hurt.
When Michelle stood up again, she got a long, loud applaud fromthe audience. She bowed many times and Ginny brought her a Butterbeer. Ron was laughing very loud.
"She didn't even get hurt!" Ron said, trying not to laugh.
"She could've gotten hurt!" Hermoine said intelligently.
"But she didn't, that's all that matters, lets all get Butterbeers and head back to Grimmauld Place." Harry said tenatively.
When they had all drunken the Butterbeers, they used the Floo Network to get back. when Harry stepped out of the fireplace, as he was the last one to get back, Tonks was lecturing Lupin on some research she had done overnight. Hary ran upstairs into his room and looked at a clock, it was 9:00 and he decided he'd finish up on some homework he never got to finish.
He decided to finish his Herbology homework that night, he had gotten all of His Potions and Transfiguration work out of the way and Herbology wasn't all that bad. He finished his last peice of Homework from Professor Sprout in 10 minutes, it was an essay about "Lamare Sequnis Plant", a plant that has healing power.
Lupin came to Harry's room at 10;00 and said "Lights Out" and left the room, Harry layed down when he began to wonder, where were Mr. and Mrs. Weasly?
After some though, he figured that they were at the Burrow and he layed in bed . He tried to sleep but the nervousness was getting to him, he was nervous about the Apparation tests they had the next night.
Harry layed awake for about 3 hours. it was 1 o' clock and he went to sleep. He fell asleep and began to dream silent, blank dreams.....
Well, what do you think?

Dynamite November 15th, 2003, 5:49 pm Chapter Eight: Apparation and Name Change
Harry, Ron, Hermoine and Tonks were in Diagon Alley the next day. They were at Ollivander's Wand Shop. Hermoine looked over in the Direction of Weasly Wizard Wheezes and began to notice that there was a Zonko's in Hogsmeade and in Diagon Alley. When Hermoine began to point, even Harry began to wonder.
"Well, there about 10 Zonko's all around Britian, there's only one Weasly Wizard Wheezes. What Zilza Zonko, the lady running the Zonko's we were in yesterday suggested, is that Zonko's and Weasly Wizard Wheezes give eachother health conpetition. The stores are right next to eachother. We didn't go Weasly Wizard Wheezes because Zilda was having problems with her Cold Candy. I've tried some of her Flu Fruities, I was in bed for about 2 Weeks, her stuff really competes with Fred and Georges." Ron explained.
"Well, your tests don't begin until 3:00, you guys want to sepnd the morning at Zonko's?" Tonks asked cheerfully.
They all began to walk off the Weasly Wizarding Wheezes.

Chapter Eight: Apparation
As Tonks pushed Harry, Ron and Hermoine inside of Weasl Wizard Wheezes, Fred, George and a woman approached them. The woman was no taller than Ginny, she looked just like Ginny too. The lady with Fred and George had long white and blue hair. By her looks, the girl could not have been any older than 20 or 21 years old. As Harry, Ron, Hermoine and Tonks stood by a counter with a banner that read "Weasly Wizard Wheezes", the woman approached them.
"Good Morning Zilda, how's buisness?" Ron said sharply, almost sounding like Percy.
"Why, Good Morning to you too mate, I'm fine and you?" the woman replied.
"So this is Zilda?" Harry thought.
"You must beHarry and Hermoine, I'm Zilda, I run the local Zonko's shop in Diagon Alley." Zilda said, she was leering at Harry's forehead, which came as to no suprise. Harry began to speak but the shop door busted open. It was Michelle. Michelle was panting and sat next to Hermoine. Just as the door closed, it opened again by Laurena, she collasped on a table near the door. A few moments later, Lupin strode through the shop doors smiling.
"Lupin, what just happened to those two?" Tonks demanded.
"They raced in here, we were going on a morning stroll." Lupin replied calmly.
"Morning stroll? They are out of breath, why aren't they with Percy or Charlie?"
"They both had ministry work to do, I couldn't have left them all alone, Ginny is spending the night with her friens Luna." Lupic replied.
"Well, it's good your here, do you want to go get some coffe?" Tonks said, totally changing the subject.
"Sure, what about the kids?" Lupin said sarcastically.
"Hermoine will look after them, right?" Tonks reassured. Hermoine gave a slight nod, stating she'd basically babysit Laurena and Michelle.
As Lupin and Tonks left, Tonks turned around and told Harry, Ron and Hermoine to be at Ollivander's Wand Shop by 2:00 so they could go to the Apparation Tests Registration. Lupin and Tonks left.
~~~~~~~~~~
Fred, George and Zilda all began talking about finances as Harry began to wake up Laurena and Michelle. As Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Michelle, and Laurena got ready to leave, the Weasly Wizard Wheezes door opened again, this time it was Seamus Finnigan, a fello Gryffindor. He was accompianied by a boy who looked like a younger brother of his. As the door shut, Seamus greeted himself to Harry, Ron and Hermoine. Harry was suprised, Seamus looked alot different from the last time they had seen him.
Seamus was now as tall as Ron, he had been shorter than him before the end of Hogwarts Schol Year. His hair was braided in cornrown, Seamus' hair was usually kept cut.
Hermoine began to laugh at him, she rushed to a chair so she wouldn't fall, she had an uncontrollable fit of giggles. Seamus ignored this however and began talking.
"Hey Mates, this is my cousin Damien, how you been?" Seamus said.
"Well, I'm fine and you?" Ron replied.
"Just great, we get to babysit." Harry said, pointing at Laurena and Michellesitting on the floor. They were still unconcius.
"Well, did you hear about Fudge?" Seamus said quickly, he had a small grin.
"What happened?" Harry said quickly. Seamus quickly handed Harry an article cut out of a newspaper. Harry and Ron began to read it, Hermoine got up so she could also read the article.
July 20, Fudge Out, Diggory In!
Lately Cornelius Fudge has not been doing his job. He was fired from the Ministry of Magic on July First when he was rumored to have connections with Bellatrix Lestrange, an escaped Death Eater.
After the death of Sirius Black, who was recently proven innocent on the case of Killing 13 Muggles, it turned out, Peter Pettigrew who got First Order of Merlin, killed the muggles.
Fudge refused clear Sirius' name, or even given honor. Soon, Fudge was rumored to have connections with the Death Eaters. He quotes himself in a pasterview with The Quibbler, "I am not a Death Eater, why would I be? I don't oppose their beliefs, but I don't support them."
He said that on July 1, when his Understudy to minister was brought in. Fudge lost his job on July 2 when he began to compaign for the Closing of Hogwarts and No longer having Apparation Tests before the begin of Hogwarts' term. Diggory was brought back into the Ministry after losing her job 15 years ago.
Dumbledore automatically refused all of Fudge's thought's and the Wizengamot had a Ministry Meeting ordering him out of the Ministry at once. Relena Diggory, the sister of Amos Diggory, was brought is as Fudge's understudy. Diggory was titled the new minister the next day.
The Ministry has kept this information secret for almost three weeks because they felt, there was enought trouble already.
Diggory has already began working on Security, and safety for the Wizarding World and the same for the Muggle World. She has also been working on fixing up all the mess-ups in the ministry. At press time, Relena Digory and Cornelius Fudge were not availiable at press time.
Picture of Diggory:
http://rm2kessence.bravehost.com/DiggoryRelena.png
Many people have seen Diggory's dorky look but she is a wizard who should not be messed with, she got out of Hogwarts with the best scores in the history of the school.
See what mess ups Fudge made, page 7
Diggory's response to Voldemort, page 11
The Second War:The Precaution, page 14
As they all finished reading the article, Harry began to feel a lot better, Michelle and Laurena were now awoke and were talking. Harry askes Seamus if he wanted to hang around Diagon Alley for the day, with nothing better to do, Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Seamus, Michelle and Laurena and Damien all left Weasly Wizard Wheezes while Fred, George, and Zilda did not notice their departure.
Well, I'll be sure to post the rest later, what do you think?

Seamus and Hermoine spent an hour apparating back and forth to see who could apparate farther. Naturally, Hemroine won. She spent 10 minutes gloating and pretty soon, Seamus put the Bat Bogey Hex on her. In return, she put the Jelly Legs Jinx on him. He was stunned and Hermoine laughed.
Michelle pulled out a list and ran off. Harry and the others hesitated but pretty soon they ran after her. She ran into Ollivanders. By the time they got in there, she had just began to speak with Ollivander.
"Well, you are very unique, you seem to be the type who needs one of my special wands." Ollivander said, in a very gentle voice. He sounded full of joy as he bagen to run off to the back of his store. He had a gold linen cased box with 10 wands encases. When he opened it, gold vapor filled the room. Harry recognized that box but he said nothing.
"Take this wand!" Mr. Ollivander said as he handed it to Michelle. She waved it in the air and instantly, red and pink streams of sparkles flew out the wand. Michelle began jumping up and down because she had just gootten a wand. Seamus, Damien, Harry, and Ron went out the store as Laurena and Hermoine tryied to calm down Michelle about her wand.
Harry looked at Seamus' watch as they all headed to the Leaky Cauldron. It was already 12:00 and the only had two more hours of freedom. Seamus began talking about the Apparation Registration Tests as he pulled a big book out of a shelf on the Leaky Cauldron's book case. It was titled, Quirky Quizza's guide to Arraration. He began to quiz Harry and Ron on apparation history.

Rest of Chapter Eight: Apparation Tests
They spent the rest of their time hanging out at the Leaky Cauldron having fun, Harry didn’t care how mich time went by, he was happier than he had been most of his life. He was with fellow friends and he was sure he couldn’t be mad right now. Even Dudley’s threats could not bring him misery. Pretty soon, Tonks appeared by the door and told Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Michelle and Laurena to come on so they could get to the tests for the apparitions. The tests were held at the Courtyard of Gringotts Wizarding bank. Seamus’ mother walked down the stairs and told Seamus to get his jacket.
They got into Gingotts and they walked to a door on the side of the room. When the door was opened, a beam of sunlight hit all of their faces. They saw all of their fellow 6th year Gryffindors listening to Amos Diggory give a speech. He was telling the instructions and calling the by names and who would be their tester.
Listen up, will all of the following students come up and follow me?” Diggory said. He called out for Harry, Hermoine, Seamus and Lavender Brown, also a fellow Gryffindor. Amos led them into a hallway from the courtyard. While they were walking down the hallway, Harry asked Lavender why only Gryffindors had show up at the testing. He had found that the tests were taken in different places for each of the Hogwarts houses. The Hufflepuffs were at a place called “Mimaraus Temple”, Ravenclaws were at Hogsmeade, and the Slytherins were at the Malfoy Manor, they were probably using Draco’s backyard.
They walked out into sunlight. They were standing in a small secluded section of the courtyard. Amos led them all to a wall.,, he told them to put their backs on the wall and close their eyes. Hermoine began to speak out of the corner of her mouth. “I think we are going to have to apparate to the other end of the room.” She managed to say before Amos began to speak.
“I am sure enough that all of you have spent some of your vacation studying apparition. The only test you have you really have to do is see how close you can get to that wall. Then you will take a written test about history of apparition.” He finished quietly.
Amos called Lavender up first. He told her to apparate as close to the wall across the room as she could. Lavender closed her eyes to concentrate. She then disappeared and reappeared near the middle of the room looking disappointed. Amos pointed her to the hallway telling her to go see Professor Sprout, the Herbology Teacher at Hogwarts. She was conducting the written test. After Lavender, Seamus was next. He closed his eyes and disappeared instantly. He reappeared very close to the wall. He looked in Hermoine’s direction, saying “Match that!” He stood there instead of leaving to watch Hermoine’s apparation. She went next, she closed her eyes and looked at the wall. She then closed her eyes again, she disappeared instantly, a second later she was directly in front of the wall. Seamus looked disappointed as he and Hermoine walked down the hall. Harry heard them chatting about their appartions.
“Mr. Potter, you are the last one. Will you proceed with the appration?” Harry closed his eyes and imagined he was near the wall, they he instantly appeared right close to the wall. When he opened his eyes, Amos was looking very happy but still very serious.
"You've passed your test, if you pass the written test, you will be able to take apparation tests this year at Hogwarts."
Inside, Harry felt happy, but he wondered, how could they apparate at Hogwarts?

Dynamite November 29th, 2003, 4:31 pm Chapter Nine: Silenced Visions
After the apparation tests, Harry felt a lot much better. He slept the whole night. When he woke up, he began to get out of Sirius' old bed when his scar began to hurt very badly. He began to see flashes, flashes of magic. He thought he heard Voldemort scream "Crucio!" He was sure that he heard people screaming. Whjy had his scar began to hurt now? He hadn't given Voldemort much thought ever since he had got to Grimmauld Place. Now Voldemort began flashing through his thoughts. Why did his dreams start now?
The next thign Harry had to look foward to was the Training on July 245. When the day finally came, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine had all of their school supplies that Mrs. Weasly had bought for them in their trunks.Lupin, Michelle, Laurena and Tonks had brought them all down to Kings Cross to get on the platform. They saw a lot of people, no more that 200. What even amazed Harry was the fact that there were only Sixth Years. This meant Draco Malfoy ws not too far.
Harry, Ron and Hermoine dragged all of their stuff ino an empty compartment. Some of their friends joined them, Nevvil Longbottom, one of the most cllumsiest students at Hogwarts was there. Dean Thomas also joined them, Seamus was outside their compartment talking to a Sixth Year Hufflepuff. She was blushing. Harry trie to stay awoke but he didnt even feel like talking. He dozed off while Hermoine, Ron and Neville talked. Dan and Seamus began to play a game of Wizarding Chess. Once Harry began to sleep, he felt as if he could not wake back up... He began to dream Lord Voldemort and Wormtil were talking in a small living room.
"Why have you failed me once again?"
"But I did not fail you my master, I have learned my lesson!"
"You let the boy notice I was there! He should not be aware of the Chariot"
"But master-"
"I also know that you allowed Dumbledore to talk to the muggles?"
"I could-"
"You also let th Granger girl get to the to Protectors of the Charopt?"
"I had nothing-"
"You let Michelle escape, you should have brought her to me!"
"ut master, she used wandless magic. That girl-"
'I think the Cruciatus Curse will set you straight"
"Master, please, I will get the boy for you!"
"You are still in his debt, are you not?"
"Master, what makes you think-"
"Legimens!"
"No Master!!"
"You are in his debt, he let you live in his Third Year of Hogwarts, am I wrong? I think you should be punish, Bellatrix?"
Was this ome twisted dream, Bellatrix Lestrange walked into the room, holding her wand out, ready to use it when Voldemort called them to silence.
The boy, he's here...
"Harry! Harry, are you alright? You were shaking and rolling on the floor!" It was seamus, he was the only one in the compartment.
"Where's everyone else? What happened? Voldemorts' going to kill Wormtail! He's after the Guardians, He wants Michelle-" Harry started when he saw Professor Sinistra come into the room. He gave Harry was weird look and said "What happened Mr. Potter, I suspect that you are seeing Voldemort again?" She asked calmly. "How'd you know about that stuff?" Harry asked him suspiciously.
"I am a staff member at Hogwarts. Potter, it is best advised that you stay awoken for the rest of the ride. We will be arriving in Hogsmeade in a hour. You are very lucky that you have friends like Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasly,and Mr. Longbottom who went searching for a teacher, I am the only one on the train and I need to get back to the front. They seem to be causing a ruckus."
Professor Sinestra stode off, Ron and Hermoine entered once she left and Neville followed soon. They all sat down. Ron looked down at his feet, Neville looked at the ceiling, and /seamus played with his fingers. Dean ran into the compartment with some candy but he had a mortified look on his face. Harry looke out the window, the sky was now purple.
"What special training do we really need?" Dean finally said.
"Well, I doubt it'sanything easy, that's for sure." Hermoine said.
"Well-" Ron began when Draco Malfoy fell thrpugh the door. Ernie MacMillan was standing above him, Ernie had just used the Jelly Legs Jinx and now Professor Sinestra came to Malfoy and Ernie. "Honestly two PreFects fighting, I'll be sure to tell Professor Dumbledore."
As much as Harry really wanted to stay awoke, he found it very hard. No one was talking, not even Dean. Dean was sitting in his seat playing with some little necklace with a Small Thunder emblem on it. Harry stared at it for a moment and he thought he was seing a vision. He saw Hagrid and Michelle and Dean falling into the lake at Hogwarts. He then saw Laurena jimp in after the. "None of that vision can be true, Michelle and Laurena are t Grimmauld Place, right?" Harry thought.
As the train pulled into Hogsmeade, Harry got off the train with Ron, Hermoine, Dean, Seamus and Neville. Dean ran off to Hagrid, he wanted to talk about hi owl grade. It was very foggy and it was raining a bit. Harry didnt mind. Harry looked into the sky when he saw two brooms and two trunks. He wiped the rain off his glasses so he could get a better look of who was on the brooms. It was Michelle and Laurena, they were on the brooms. They both dived and had their wands out making their belongings float.
Michelle fell of into the lake off or her broom. She was screaming so loud that Hagrid ran after her. Dean didnt know Hagrid was trying to get her out of the lake, Malfoy aproached Dean and pushed him into the lake. Laurena made sure that her and Michelle's stuff landed by Hermoine. Hermoine began to call out for Laurena to ask what what was going on when Laurena dived into the water.
Harry's mind was racing, what was going on? He couls not get the reason why he saw this vision and didnt figure that Michelle would show up at Hogwarts. But why was Michelle at Hogwarts?
Professor Sinestra ushered all of the students into Carriages while Hagrid came up from the lake with Dean, Michelle and Laurena. They were all blue in the face. Hagrid got into a Carriage and in went up to Hogwarts. Hary, Ron, Seamus, Neville and Hermoine all got into a carriage together. They left their stuff on the trains seeing how it would appear up in their dormitories. Harry knew that his Hogwarts term had not started yet but he felt the year had already started off badly.
"He's going to kill Wormtail. He's going to kill him, He was supposed to get Michelle but he didnt. Wormtail was also supposed to get some sort ofGuardians but he failed." Harry blurted out.
"What are you talking about?" Seamus asked suspiciously.
"Voldemort is going to kill his servant. When did you find this out Harry?" Hermoine asked in a very serious tone.
"I saw it when I fell asleep on the train. When I was on the train and I looked at Dean's necklace, I also saw Hagrid, Dean, Michelle and Laurena falling into the lake." Harrty muttered, he didnt even look up to see any of their expressions.
"You need to tell Dumbledore! Voldemort is-"
"Can you stop it?" Seamus broke off Hermoine in mid-sentence.
Their carriage stopped at the gates of Hogwarts, they all got out of it and walked up the walkway to get throught the door. They entered the front doors and walked straight into the main hall. Dumbledore looked at all of the students. The Staff table was very empty.
"Hello students, I am sure that you all recieved a letter of invitation to special training, this training is to ensure you are ready to prootect youselve sin certain circumstances. There will be no feast in the main hall tonight but up in your common rooms, you are able to do as you please. As you see, only 5 teachers are here, Professor Trelawney, Professor Sinestra, Professor Sprout and , our Hogwarts game keeper, Rubeus Hagrid and Professor Snape. I now dismiss you to your dormitories. you are to dine in there as well, the School will undergo some changes, so it is well advised that you stay in the common rooms or your dormitories for 3 days time. I now dismiss you, have a good day!" Dumbledore said sounding very happy. Hagrid walked into the door as everyone was walking out of the Main Hall.
All of the Gryffindors left the hall and went up into the Gryffindor Common room. It was decorated beatifully, there were about 50 chairs at one long table near the dining table where food was on the table.

Dynamite December 1st, 2003, 10:56 pm Hey guys, my story is finally beggining to heta up! Be sure to look closely for updates because I will be posting more regularly.
Chapter Ten: The Attack On Harry
Harry looked at the table and saw all of the best food he had seen in his life. Harry, Ron and Hermoine all ran for seats by the edge of the table near the fireplace. Harry sat at the end of the table and stared at all of the food. Lavender sat right next to Ron and Harry was next to Neville. All of the Sizth Years in Gryffindor were in the commom room, they were and talking. Seamus came down and sat next to Lavender. Lavender and Ron were talking and Lavender was glaring at him in a mystic way, it reminded him of Professor Trelawney. “Harry, Ron and Hermoine, I need to talk to you two.” He said as he walked off by the stairs leading to the boys corridor.
“Can this really be this important that it’s distracting me from eating?” Ron said in a rush, he was really hungry.
“Do you realize what’s going on? It’s all in Diggory’s plan! She wants all of the students in Hogwarts prepared just in case that Voldemort attacks the school. You guys do remember in the newspaper that they said it’s rumored that Voldemort was last seen in Hogsmeade? Well, Dumbledore told me mum and she…” Seamus started but he faded off.
Harry instantly thought he knew what was happening. When Seamus referred to Diggory, he meant the new Ministress of Magic. But what was her plan? He was so used to being informed about what was going on in the wizarding world while he was on Privet Drive but he had not opened much letters because of Sirius’ death. Lately, it seemed that Harry had been trying to avoid even talking about him. While they were at Grimmauld Place, Ginny had mentioned him but she saw Harry and instantly shut up. Seamus was talking about something more serious though… Was Voldemort really in Hogsmeade?
“Seamus, why on earth would Voldemort some to Hogsmeade, one of the most populated places in the area besides Hogwarts?” Hermoine asked flatly. “Because of the Guardians of The Keys, have you heard of the prophecy? Seamus said, it seemed like he had been wanting to tell someone but no one would listen. “Fine, I’ll tell you, meet me near Filch’s corridor asfter this small feast, he’ll tell us the whole thing, he knows it better than anyone I know. Lets all leave at a different time so no one gets suspicious.”
They all ate, they all waited a while. Seamus then left the table and left out of the portrait door. About a half hour later, Ron left the common room. Hermoine left about ten minutes later. After twenty minutes, Harry left the for the portrait hole. As he approached the door, Lavender ran up to him. She began to talk at her top speed.
“Have you seen Ron, I mean he’s your best friend. Can you give him this letter, I should have given it to him earlier but you guys were talking to Seamus, do you know if he’s got a girlfriend? If he’s available? I know I should not be asking you, his best friend but I just want to ask, you know, just to see if he’s got one, maybe I should wait for him, it’s getting late, near 10:00, well, if you see him-“ Hary tried to decipher what she was saying but he was sure he could tell her.
“I’ll give him the letter, I wont read it, happy?” Harry said with a nerve, he was really agitated. He took the letter from Lavender and left the portrait hole. He started off walking for Filch’s corridor when he heard Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and Professor McGonnagall talking.
“But they can not surely stay in Hogwarts and not be in a common room or corridor? That would be unsafe! We should just do an immediate Sorting for the two, Dean Thomas is on his way back up to Gryffindor Tower as we speak.” Professor McGonnagall said, in a low whisper. “We are not going to send them home, lets just sort them now…” Professor Snape said in a tone of disgust.
“Well, I think we need the hat then, Harry? Will you go fetch the sorting hat and the girls from my office?” Professor Dumbledore said, in a nice tone. Harry turned the corner of the hallway as he saw Professor McGonnagall look astonished and Snape look displeased. Harry walked all the way up to Dumbledore’s office as Michelle was pointing her wand at the walls and Laurena sitting on the floor with her and Michelle’s things. Laurena was sitting there, polishing her wand. They were both soaked all over, Laurena’s once tan skin was now a light shade of blue. Harry noticed she was sitting next to the Sorting hat. He told them to come on so they could get sorted when they both said “Gryffindor”.
“What are you talking about?” Harry asked them immediately. “The hat sorted us both into Gryffindor. We both tried it on for looks when it yelled Gryffindor for the both of us, wan we go now?” Laurena said. Dumbledore was walking down the corridor, towards them. He dismissed Harry and sent him back to Gryffindor Tower. “Your friends Mr. Weasly and Mr. Finnigan will meet you there Mr. Potter.”
Harry went up to Gryffindor Tower, the common room was now empty, the tables were now gone. Harry saw shadows on the wall, he figured no one was there but someone was. It was no one but Lord Voldemort, in Gryffindor Tower. Harry began to walk up the stairs when Harry was hit with a stunning spell.

Dynamite December 2nd, 2003, 9:17 pm Chapter Eleven- A Vision of Hope
Harry saw almost every Sixth Year Gryffindor in the Common Room. They were all trying to get out of the Common Room. There were Death Eaters ererywhere. They were all sending curses everywhere. Harry looked around and saw
Harry looked at his face, could it really be Lord Voldemort? He looked deep into the catlike pupils, he looked at the glaring red eyes staring down at him. It was indeed Lord Voldemort. Harry rubbed his eyes and heard people yelling out his name as Voldemort got closer. Harry dug deep into his pockets looking for his wand but it was not there.
"It's over, he can kill me any time and I don't have my wand. He can fufill the other part of the prophecy, he'll kill me so he'll live..." Harry thought.
"Avada Kedavra!"Voldemort yelled at the top of his lungs. Harry took in the beam and silently felt the life drain from him. Harry felf happr for a minutes, "Now I'll see my parents" He thought before the spell hit him. The moment he felt his soul leaving his body, He felt people shaking him all over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Harry! Harry, are you allright?" Michelle was yelling. Harry was laying on the ground in Gryffindor Tower, by the portrait hole. Michelle, and Laurena were standing over him and Professor McGonnagall was running over towards him, Professor Sinestra was not far behind her.
"Potter, what is going on here? Ms. Rodriguez tells me you faintes when you entered the portrait hole?"
"I was a bit dazed-"Harry started.
"You were muttering about He-Who-Must-not-be-named? I think you did not merely faint." Professor Sinestra said with her eyes. She was eying Harry like he was guilty of something.
"Well, I had another vision..." Harry muttered."
I'll post the rest later.
Dynamite December 3rd, 2003, 2:57 am This is the rest of Chapter Eleven
"What do you mean, anther vision?" Professor Sinistra blurtes out.
"Well, earlier before Hagrid, Laurena, Michelle and Dean all fell into the lake, I saw it before we got out of Hogsmeade...That was my second vision. My first one was when I was on the Hogwarts Express. I saw Voldemort killing Wormtail, his servant..." Harry muttered in a very low tone.
"Did you tell Dumbledore at all?" McGonnagall asked him quietly.
"I have not told anyone, I was sure it was just a -"Harry started but Laurena cut him off.
"It was no joke, that was a vision. Did you get drowsy? Did you start mumbling? I'm sure you remember when I had my vision?" Laurena blurted out.
"No, No, and yes. I do remember your vision. But I do not know when this vision will happen. When I had my first vision, it seemed as though Voldemort was killing Wormtail while I was on the train because he sensed my presence..." Harry trailed off.
For a while, they all just sat there. Professor Sinistra took the two girls and took them up to some empty dormitories. Professor McGonnagall walked out of the Portrait Hole and came back ten minutes later. She gave Harry a Visioless Potion. It's use was to ensure the drinker was to have no dreams and no one could interferre with his mind. Harry walked up to his bed and layed down. Today had been a weird, eventful day. He drunk the potion and layed down. He dreamed dreamless dreams...
Harry woke up the next day, it was 12:15. He had really overslept. He got mup, he was still in the same clothes. He looked around the dormitory, Seamus and Neville were still sleep. Ron was laying on the floor, also sleep. Harry crept down to the common room where he overheard Hermoine, and Parvarti talking.
"Does he have a girlfriend?" Parvarti asked.
"Not that I know of, why?" Hermoine asked him.
"Because I think I like him..." Parvarti confided.
In an instant, Harry pulled out the letter he had been supposed to give to Ron. He threw it on Ron's face and Ron woke up?"
"Good Mornin, 'arry, what d'ya want?"
"Parvati likes you, Read that letter!" Harry managed to get out.

Dynamite December 5th, 2003, 12:37 am I have been looking at my story lately. I am planning on setting a date for fixing all of my grammar mistakes so my story looks better. I think that even though I dont get much feedback that does not get me down. It the past two days, my story has gotten about 200 views. I think that is great for my standards. I am wondering, can someone please rank my story? It will be great to know what people think of my story. I've already said enough so I'll start with the next chapter.
{P.S} I know that I took forever to get my story up to Hogwarts but I have a bad habit of giving way too much detail, I'll be sure to fix that.
Chapter Twelve: The Sorting Hat's New Song
"Parvati likes me- seriously?" Ron asked in question. As Harry handed him the letter, Harry, Neville Dean and Seamus all crowded around Ron so they could read the letter.
Dear Ron,
Ever since our first year, I've always sort of had a crush on you. In our fourth year at the Yule Ball, I wanted to go with you but I ended up going with Harry. As for the Beauxbaton boys, I never meant to try to make you or Harry jealous but you were ignoring me and my sisters.
"She did a bad job at making us mad, weren't we mad at Hermoine?" Ron asked Harry.
"No, you were mad her. I was just amazed that she went with Krum." Harry said tenatively. They all finished to read the letter.
You seemed very jealous of Hermoine and Krum, pretty soon I thought that Hermoine had always had your heart from the beggining. But I don't know if it's true or not. Well, to the point. Do you want to hang out sometime? I hear the Dumbledore is going to let us go to Hogsmeade for the week.
Parvati Patil
"She really does like me! What do I say?" Ron asked very quickly.
"I say you show me who Parvati is, she better not be a square either." Laurena snorted. Laurena, Hermoine and Michelle were standing in the dormitory doorway.
"Well, it's about time you noticed, she's tried to drop hnts in the past." Hermoine said, giggling under her breath. Michelle was reaching in her pocket, she pulled out a cell phone. Harry and Hermoine stared at eachother, seeing who would tell Michelle, Hermoine did it.
"It wont-"
Too late, Michelle had pressed a button on her cell phone and now her cell phone was going haywire. There were sparks of electricity shooting everywhere. Michelle literally began to scream at the top og her lungs.
"My cell phone , it wont work? What's going on here?" Michelle asked.
"Too much magic, if you read Hogwarts: A History-" Hermoine started but Ron cut her off.
"It will not work, am I the only one who had read that book?" Ron said mockingly towards Hermoine.
"Well anaway, my birthday is coming up soon, maybe Sirius-" Harry quickly shut himself up. He had let himself think about Sirius again, something he had stopped ever since he had left Hogwarts last term. Neville signaled for Dean and Seamus to leave with Ron, Hermoine Laurena and Michelle. They all left the room. Harry decided sleep would take his mind off Sirius Black, his deceased grandather...
~~~~~~~
A few days later, Harry's birthday came up. All of the sixth year Gryffindors decided to throw him a party. Even though he only got 7 presents, they all turned out to be very useful seeing hoe him Holiday at Hogwarts was going. Seamus was the first to give Harry a present, he gave Harry a Pulosceon, a small device that boosted the user's speed. "Maybe I'll be able to avoid Filch now. Neville gave Harry a Sanoscope, a device that would tell him when he was in Mortal Danger. Harry kept wondering why Neville had given it to him, wasn't Neville a person who really needed it? Parvati got him a Irish Quidditch hat, a present he'd expect from someone like Seamus. Ginny, Ron and Hermoine all got him some of his most favorite candies and foods. Laurena and Michelle got him a bag of candy from Weasly Wizarding Wheezes. Dean got hi a new watch. His last present came from Lupin, and Ms. Weasly, it was another book on the Dark Arts defense techniques. Harry felt satisfied with how hib birthdy had went.

Dynamite December 13th, 2003, 3:07 pm Sorry about the extremely long lack of pdates, I'[ve been so busy and I dont have enough time to update my sotry, so I'll do it now. Lately, I've been getting a lot more feedback, for which I am grateful for. If some of you noticed, For the Christmas Celebration on CoS, I have a small story that has to do with my Chariots of Thunder storyline. No, in my story I will not use those same ideas, I have actually written it very different, wait and see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day before the Sorting Ceremony, a gray owl clutching a letter flew through Harry's window. It was from Lupin, attached to the letter were six of the same thunder neclaces Tonks had showed them and six small cards.
Dear Harry,
I'm sure youare aware of the dangers that lie further in the futue, this is why you all need to keepthese necklaces. I hope you remember what these necklaces are for; protection. You will need it, seeing how Voldermort will try to kill anyone in his way so he can kill you. The Order has beeen given permission from Dumbledore and our new ministress, Relena Diggory to do research on the Chariot and how to summon it. Enclosed are the six necklaces and six library passes from Madam Pince so you all can go to the Restricted Section of the Library at Hogwarts, you'll need to do as much research as possible. Hopefully if we do not find out how to summon the Chariot, you all will. You also need to look out for Michelle and Laurena, I recently found out from Dumbledore that Voldemort will be after them, you will also be seeing more of Kingsley this year too.
Lupin
"So, we've got to keep these on at all times?" Ron said as Harry threw them at Ron, Hermoine, Laurena and Michelle.
~~~~~~~
That night, Harry could not get to bed, he keptputting the necklace up to his head but for some reason, whenever it touched his scar, he heard screaming, Harry did not realize it but he dozed off.
Harry was no longer in his dormitory but he was now i Voldemorts Living Room. Well, at least he thought he was. Harry was in disbelief as he saw Wormtail in a corner, hiding from someone.
"Crucio!"
"Master, no I am-"
"Sorry? You'll see Wormtail-"
"But Master, not the Crucio-"
"Crucio!"
"Noooo! Master, I am your loyal servant-"
"Legimens!"
"Master, you cannot see-"
Harry found himself awoken by the Boys' Dormitory Stairs.
"Harry! Are you allright? Ron said as he helped Harry walk down the stairs. They were now in the common room, it was four o' clock in the morning. Harry began to tell Ron what happened but Ron fell asleep on an armchair.
Harry began to walk back up the dormitory when Laurena flew down the Girl's Dormitory stairs, she looked panicked. "What's the matter with you? Did you have another vision?" Harry asked at once. "Harry, he's going to kill his-" Laurena started but she just ran up the strias sobbing. Harry began to wonder, were him and Laurena seeing the exact same visions at the same time?
Laurena came back downstairs almost immediately.
"Did you see Voldemort?" Harry asked again.
"I think it was a vision of the future to come, far in the future." She snimpered.
"How long?" Harry demanded.
"A monthor so, I think. I'll be sure to remember tyo tell Dumbledore that." she said as she ran back up the girl dormitory stairs.
~~~~
The day of the Sorting Ceromony, all of the Sixth Years were allowed out of their common rooms and into the Great Hall. "Finally, I was beggining to actually like Trevor..." said a happy Lavender.
A few hours later at the Sorting Ceromony, Harry, Hermoine, Ron, Parvati and Neville all sat at the end of Gryffindor Table, as close to the Staff table as possible. Above Bumbledore's chair was a banner.
Hogwarts:Witchcraft and Wizadry Staff Members

"Since when am I the janitor? I'm the caretaker!" Filch yelled over everyone. They all continued to read.

"Why is Krum here?" Ron whispered to Harry.
Hufflepuff Guard Shane Thompson
Ravenclaw Guard Malory Migery
Slytherin Guard Valkryie Benson
Quidditch Madam Hooch
*Welcome all new staff members and new students. Welcome all returning students back to Hogwarts.
Professor McGonnagall walked down the Great Hall with all of the new years, Laurena and Michele were both standing next to eachother, smiling at Harry, showing off their thunder necklaces.
"Amrita, Ackerby!" Professor McGonnagall yelled, she was sorted into Ravenclaw.
A few more people were sorted, Evan Billows was sorted into Hufflepuff, Andrew Cardiare was sorted into Slytherin, Mina Davida was sorted into Gryffindor. A few minutes later, Laurena's name was called.
Laurena had a terrified look on her face, hadn't she been sorted by the Sorting Hat? Maybe that one didn't count, Harry thought to himself.
Laurena put the hat on and and it began to talk.
"Well, very difficult, very difficult, I see your brave, you risk your own for your best friend, I see that stands out in you Laurena, Gryffindor could be your home. You are also very smart, Ravnclaw could use you, on the other had, Hufflepuff also sees themselves in you, loyal and just as you are. But Slytherin would give you glory, obviously you cannot work there, you feel at home already so I'll sort you into GRYFFINDOR! The hat yelled, Laurena walked over to the table and sat next to Ginny, near tears. The moment the hat touched Mihelle's hat, it also yelled Gryffindor! She also joined the table.
After the Sorting, Dumbledore gave his usual speech and he told the students about the guards, all of the guards were to protect their houses from danger, Viktor Krum kept staring at Hermoine instead of listening to Dumbledore. Finally, they all began to eat. Ron and Hermoine pulled out their Prefect badges and ushered the new years around into the common rooms as Harry, Laurena, and Michelle went back to the Common Room. harry was dreading the next day, Harry was thinking about getting his schedule.

Dynamite December 30th, 2003, 11:05 pm Chapter Thirteen
Class With Kingsley
Harry, and Ron both got up the next day, they both went down to breakfast without Hermoine, who was busy lecturing Michelle and Laurena both how to behave. “Please do not embarrass Gryffindor, we have a cup to lose and if you two lose any points, I’ll see to it personally-“ She started as Harry and Ron passed but Laurena and Michelle both ran off in different directions.
“When I get my hands on those two, I’ll make them both have detentions!” She muttered as they all sat down for breakfast. Schedules were being passed out and Harry and Ron got theirs from the new Head Girl, fellow Gryffindor Alicia Spinnet. “Professor Dumbledore made me Head Girl and Andrew Dominic from Ravenclaw Head Girl and Head Boy. I’m so Hppy, I bet you’ll be Gryffindor Quidditch captain.” She said very quickly and kept passing out schedules. Before Harry even looked at his own, he got a glimpse of Laurena and Michelle’s schedules, they were both identical to Harry, Ron’s and Hermoine’s, to their surprise.
Schedules
Defense against the Dark Arts nine o’clock Monday
Care of Magical Creatures one o’clock Monday
Potions nine o’clock Tuesday
Transfiguration nine o’clock Wednesday
Charms nine o’clock Thursday
Herbology one o’clock Friday
Harry and Ron both looked pleased at the way their schedule was. They did not have to see Snape until Tuesday and they had only one class a day for four days of the week. “Darn, we still got Herbology.” Ron muttered. Hermoine looked very sad that she sould only take six classes now, Ron also found this displeasing. “Now she’ll have more time to boss us around…”
When they were on the way to Defense Against The Dark Arts, they encountered Seamus along the way. His braids were now out of his hair and his hair was no longer jet black but he had returned to his Sandy tan hair. “Well, I got sick of the black!” he asid as the four sat down by the door. “Did you hear about Professor Kingsley? He’s so cool!” Michelle said as she, Laurena and Dean Thomas walked up to them. “Arent you guys first years, I thought first year Gryffindors had Transfigutation now?” Ron asked them.
“Well, Professor McGonnagall thought it would be best if we enter as Sixth years or we’d totally embarrass the rest of the First Years.” Laurena said coolly while Michelle walked around introducing herself. Just then, Professor Kingsley walked down the corridor and up to the door. “Did anyone else notice that Dumbledore did not give his usual speech last night?” Hermoine said in a scared voice. “Maybe he was tired?” Ron said as he shook his head and entered the room, joining Parvati at a near by table. “Sorry, she made me!” Ron mouthed to Harry as he, and Hermoine sat next to each other. Harry, Hermoine and Seamus sat right in front of Professor Kingsley’s desk. Ron, Parvati and Lavender were all talking quietly behind them.
“Class to order, lets begin.” Kingsley said as he aved his wand across the air, emitting dark blue sparks. “I’ve been informed what’s went on in this class for the past five years. Professor Quirrel dead, Professor Lockheart’s memory erased, Professor Lupin resigned, Professor Moody captured for most of the year and Professor Jane Umbridge was your teacher last year.” Kingsley said in a bitter tone. He paced around the room, looking at the students.
“This year you will be learning very advanced spells when it comes to Defense against the Dark Arts. I will teach you what I know and what I’m allowed. I think we should start with the Ray Ring Spell, shall we?” Kingsley said as he wrote the name of the spell on the bord with his wand. Once again, blue sparks were glowing on the board.
Hermoine instantly raised her hand before Kingsley even asked the class about it. “The Ray Ring Spell is a spell that casts a temporary ray of rings around the caster, automatically protecting from any spells cast upon them.” she said as she smiled at Harry. “I did a few studying while Apparation Test Training.” She mouthd to him.
“Miss Granger, I assume? I guessed you were bright. So, what’s the incantation?” Kingsley asked, with a very small smile on his face.
“Auceda!” A voice from the back of the room yelled at the exact same time as Hwrmoine. White rays were now hovering around Hermoine and Michelle. A few of the other Gryffindors looked at Hermoine with no surprise but looked at Michelle defiantly.
“You must be Michelle Skystreak I presume? I’ve worked with your parents… before, I mut say they are good aurors. Well students, lets all practice the Ray Ring Spell for twenty minutes.” Kingsley said as his voice trailed off.
“That Michelle makes us all look stupid! For Hermoine to embarrass us, normal, but for a twelve year old?” Seamus said to Harry as it was if Hermoine was not even there.
“Seamus, how many O.W.L.S’ did you get?” Harry asked him. “I got Seven, did horrible in History of Magic and Potions. Failed Astronomy too…”
For the next few minutes, Harry stood there being showered in rings of light, Hermoine was shooting every jinx she could at him, they were all reflecting off the shield. Viktor Krum walked into the room and began to speak with Kingley in a low tone, Harry looked at Ron, who was now trying to jinx Parvati’s Light Sheild, Ron had just cast the jelly legs jynx on himself.
"Class, our time is up for today, I wont usually end class early but I think you can all dismiss yourselves from the room, right?" Kinsgley said as he and Viktor Krum both strode out the room.
"But he never taught us how to make it dissapear!" Lavender screamed.
"Auqan" Hermoine yelled to the class as they all filed out of the doors.

Dynamite January 2nd, 2004, 3:32 am Well, it seems that playmaker9 beat me to the punch. In his story, The Gryffindor Sword, {I advise you to read it!} there's a DA Tournament , something that's planned in my one my future new chapters, this update. But no hard feelings, hat's not going to keep me from updating my sotry.
Chapter Fourteen: Premonition #2
Having one class a day was wonderful for all of the students. They all seemed to take advantage of it to the fullest. "I'm glad I dropped some subjects!" Hermoine yelled as she, Harry and Ron ran to lunch. "too bad We have Care of Magical Creatures, the only day we have two classes it on Monday." she was heard muttering while eating Mashed Potatoes.
After lunch, the Sixth Year gryffindors and Ravenclaws walked down to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, they were greeted by Hargid who was sporting a large neckbrace and and a Tall lady with long black hair. she was as no taller than Luna Lovegood, a weird fifth year who helped out in the Departments of Mysteries last term.
"Hello class, my name is Malory Midgery, Ravenclaw Guard and I'm going to be helping out Professor Hagrid teach his class until he regrows his voice box. He will probaly not show up for all of your classes but I have a guideline of what you will be learning. Do you all compherend?"
"Yes" They all muttered.
For the next hour, they all endured Malory's speeches on code of conduct, how they are to behave theirselves, safety measures and they did absolutely no talk about creatures. At two' o clock, they were all drained of energy from standing up for an hour.
"She's The Umbridge of Care of Maical Creatures" Parvati said as she, Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Michelle, Laurena , Seamus and Dean all walked up the stairs together. They entered the common room {the password was pansire} and everyone found somewhere to sit. Hermoine ashed out of the common room, Michelle and Laurena in tow.
"Do you wanna go see the rest of the DA Members? I mean, we hav not really made any arrangment about how the DA was to be run this year.." Ron said, getting up and grabbing his bag and swung it over his bag.
"Sure" Harry said as he folowed Ron out of the common room. The moment they stepped out of the common room, they were standing right in front of Professor Kingsley and Michelle and Laurena.
"Listen, we need to clear the Gryffindor Common Room, now!" Laurena shrieked with a look of panic on her face. She ran into the common room and began to scream. "Look out the window!" Michelle yelled, she was now in the common room, near a window. Harry and Ron looked out the window and saw a flock of people in black robes flying on brooksticks. Death Eaters. An instant panic was instantly instated in the Gryffindor Common Room.
Harry felt an instant pain in his scar and dashed up to the dormitory to send an owl but he could not move, he was in too much pain. He closed his eyes, hoping for everything to be a dream. "Please, this can't be happening... no!"
Harry then opened his eyes. Harry saw almost every Sixth Year Gryffindor in the Common Room. They were all trying to get out of the Common Room. There were Death Eaters ererywhere. They were all sending curses everywhere. Harry looked around and saw
Harry looked at his face, could it really be Lord Voldemort? He looked deep into the catlike pupils, he looked at the glaring red eyes staring down at him. It was indeed Lord Voldemort. Harry rubbed his eyes and heard people yelling out his name as Voldemort got closer. Harry dug deep into his pockets looking for his wand but it was not there.
"It's over, he can kill me any time and I don't have my wand. He can fufill the other part of the prophecy, he'll kill me so he'll live..." Harry thought.
"Avada Kedavra!"Voldemort yelled at the top of his lungs.
But Harry took our his wand and pointed it at himself and yelled "Auceda!" Harry felt his Ring Sheild shatter in peices. Harry opened his eyes again and saw some of his fellow gryffindors on the ground, some running for their lives. Now the whole school was in an uproar, their were screams everywhere. Harry looked towards the Gryffindor Common Room Fire and saw Professor Kingsley and Professor McGonnagall trying to hold off A dozen Death Eaters. He looked in the hallway and saw Filch attempting to hold a wand and aim it. When Harry closed and re-opened his eyes, he could not believed what he saw.
Ron, Parvati and Krum were all sprawled on the floor in a heap at the foot of the stairs. It seemed like Krum had tried to defend them but had failed. Parvati was still alive, she was breathing but was now in a deep sleep. Hermoine was being tossed around in the sky by two Death Eaters with a simple levitating spell. She was also unconscious. "Maybe Voldemort forgot me..." Harry thought to himself.
"No, I did not forget you, Potter." Voldemorts cold drawling voice said. "Our work here is done, we have what we need, come come!" Voldemort said and all of the Death Eaters Dissapeared.
Harry got himself up and tried to walk around the common room but he was now badly bleeding. Ron was definently alive but he was in a deep sleep. Everyone was unconsius but Hermoine, she was now trying to get her hands in her pockets and get her wand out. She performed the charm to stop her from leviatating and fell to the ground.
"Harry, they got them! Voldemort got Laurena and Michelle! Dean, Katie and Seamus are dead! Some Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were attacked too! Cho's dead, Zachariaus is too! No Slytherins were hurt at all, I hope the girls are going to be okay-"
"Hermoine, where's Dumbledore? Where's the staff?"
"They're... somewhere in the castle, the library, the Forbidden Section of the library."
"Get your card so we can have access to the forbidden zone then, we need to talk to Kingsley because the Death Eaters probally attacked the owls too... No need to walk to the Owlery while were in danger..." Harry said as he and Hermoine walked up to their seperate dormitories.
Well, now i tjhink I should say this, Post Feedback! I want your thoughts, your opinions, your reflections, come on people!
Dynamite January 2nd, 2004, 4:38 am I know this isn't unusual for me but I think it's time for another update. I already wrote a few chapters ahead but I might as well.
Chapter Fifteen: Sacred Artifact
Hermoine and Harry both ray down the dormitory stairs and passed people sleeping on the stairs. Theyw bere talking about heaing all the people who were hurt by summoning the chariot.
"Harry, is this really nessecary? I mean, come on, I think Kingsley will agree, the Chariots cannot help us! We all know that The Death Eaters were not going to attack the Slytherins and -"
"Hermoine, unless you know how to summon the Chariot, which you know know more information than I do-"
"Actually Harry, I do know more about summoning the chariot than you do. We cannot use the chariot to heal all the people who were hurt. It's just not possible. You can't just blame yourself Harry!" When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they were greeted by Draco and Pansy Parkinson.
"Ooh, the Mudblood and the Freak, what are you up to? Potter, I think you'll like the decorations around this place. It was a bit too dull, so my Dad and his friends decided to give it a maveover. I'm sure your common room is the most decorated, right?" Draco said with a drawling voice that creeped inside Harry's mind.
Before Harry could say anything, Hermoine stunned Draco and Pansy and walked right over them. "Potter! Granger! You'll pay!" Draco was heard saying as they both walked across the Main Hall and walked toward the stairs that lead towards the library. They both walked up the stairs in silence and walked down the corridor. Now there was bodies of unconsius Ravenclaws everywhere, Cho's was right next to the Library door. Hermoine let Harry go in the library alone while she un-stunned those in the hallway.
Just about every staff member was in the library, with the execption of Hagrid. They were all talking in a hushed voice. Professor Kingsley was no wherte to be seen though. Harry then felt another pain rush to his scar. He collasped on the floor and fell asleep. He began to have another vision.
He saw Laurena and Michelle tied up to a wall, Michelle was crying and Laurena was stunned unconsious. Voldemort was laughing maniacally and Wormtail was at his side, smiling. On the side of Wormtail was Draco, who was pointing at a corner and laughing hysterically. In the corner was Ron and Hermoine, who both looked near death. The Death Eaters were all hovering above Voldemort upside down and they were all smiling grimly. Voldemort was pleased...
Then it happened. The vision was over. A bolt of Lightning struck down on Harry. He instantly woke up but he was no longer at Hpogwarts. He was in a small destroyed village. Harry got up and began to walk around and looked for a sign. He looked at a sign that read "Godric's Hollow". This was his birth place, his first home.
Harry ran around, looking for a certain sign. He then found it a few minutes later, "The Potter's Place" in front of a totalled house. The roof was sunken in and one wall was collasped. Harry ran to the side of the building and saw a wand on the floor. From the look of it, it was his fathers. Harry picked it up and instantly felt as his he was being teleported by floo powder to some place. He was now back in the Hogwarts Hallway. But Hermoine was standing right in front of him.
"Where were you at Harry? It's midnight, I was worried you'd-"
"I was home. I was at Godric's Hollow, my parent's house. I found my dad's wand. I think my Aunt Petunia gave me my mom's wand before I came back to Grimmauld's place. She also gave me some books and a roll of parchment! Lets go!"
"Can't this wait Harry? I'm so tired..."
"Yeah, I guess..."
They both began to walk towards Gryffindor Common Room.

Chapter Sixteen: Back to Privet Drive.
Harry and Hermoine left the library and alked down the corridor, down the stairs and down the main hall. Earlier, there were bodies everywhere but now the halls were empty. Hermoine was the one to break the silence as they both entered the Gryffindor Common Room, which was now looking as no attacks were not afflicted upon the school.
"Me, Krum and Ron unstunned almost everyone in the school. Some Hufflepuffs even helped. Not a lot of the people were dead, just a few Ravenclaws and Gryffindors."
"So, is Cho really dead?"
"Well, yes. Luna told me that a Death Eater used the killing curse on her..."
"Oh, is anyone else dead?"
"Well, a few Gryfindors are, Katie Bell, that new year Davida Mina. Some second years were attacked on the fourth floor, some hufflepuffs were injured by Filch's corridor, Only three people were kidnapped, well two..."
"Who besides Michelle and Laurena?"
"Draco Malfoy. Crabbe told me that Bellatrix Black came back for him..."
"How'd you get Crabbe to confess?"
"I asked Ginny to use her Bat Bogey hex."
"Well, I think I'll be taking a view at the Daily Phrophet tomorrow, goodnight Hermoine." Harry said as he walked up the stairs to the Boys' dormitory.

Mass Injury At Hogwarts- The Second War Upon Us- Rita Skeeter
The Ministry of Magic confides yesterday that there were attacks on Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizadry. Almost two hundred Students were hurt, 71 Injued. Amazingly, none of the students attacked were of Slytherins. Slytherins, known for having dark wizards in it's group [He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-] and the son of Wanted Death Eater, Lusius Malfoy. Th Death Eaters, followers of Voldemort inflicted the attack yesterday, at 2:07 PM. Voldemort himself, entered the school to seek out The Boy who lived himself, Harry Potter. He did not attack Harry though, he took the daughters of two famous Aurors in other wizarding Contries, Ricardo Roderiquez of South America and Raiden Skystreak of the United states. Both of these aurors have worked with and been trained with two of the best aurors of our time, Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt, who is now resident Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher. No one knows what led He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Names to attack the school or kidnap the daughters of famous aurors but it is in cose investigation by the whole ministry. Relena Diggory, who is in charge of the investigation, is currnelt sending out warrants for the death Eaters and sending out Aurors for the location of Voldemort wherabouts. The Attack on the school is also under investigation. Parents of students who attend Hogwarts, you are advised that your children will be returning home today,at Kings Cross."
"So were all going home until After December. That's o great, I just love the smell of toothpaste." said Hermoine, dragging her trunk down the dormitory stairs.
"What are you tlking about?" Parvati said behind her, who was now sporting a black eye.
"Her parents are dentists, I'm so sure they'll want to test they're braces on her!" Harry said sitting by the common room fire.
"Come on students, we'll be late!" Professor McGonnagall yelled at all of the all of the students =in the common room.
They all walked down the lawn of the school, all lookin g miserable. All o the students, who were attacked were sprouting some kind of injury. Neville was the only one who was proud of his black eye and his badly scarred arm, he ha dsingle handedly held off three death Eaters for thirty minutes alone. Justin Finch-Fletchley had held off Bellatrix Black from killing Madam Pince, who was in the library during the attacks. Luna lovegood was in the main hall, where Rookwood was spreading havoc, she and Ginny both gave him a Bat Boey Hex and ran off.
Everyone was now on the trains at Hogsmeade /station, everyone was very moody and distressed. Harry, Ron or Hermoine didn't talk at all for much of the ride. Harry's mind was racing about how the Dursleys would feel about him being home on the second day of term. Sooner or later, everyone but Harry fell asleep.
When they reached Kings Cross, everyone woke up and said their goodbyes. Ron waited for his parents to get there, Hermoine waited with him. Harry saw the Dursleys and started walking towards them...
Well, I higly reccomend you go to my feedback post. It's higly informing at it lets you post your thoughts and post you feelings and reflections.

Dynamite January 4th, 2004, 8:25 pm I guess when I said there'll be many updates in the new year, I was not kidding!
Chapter Seventeen:
Harry and The Dursleys had just returned from Kings Cross a bit before midnight, Dudley had made them get home late by stopping to get himself some food. Harry had made it pretty clear that we was avoiding them at all costs. "Harry, you can't avoid us forever!" Aunt Petunia yelled as Harry dragged all of his things up the stairs.
"What makes you think that? What are you going to do? Cage me up like you used to? Or maybe you'll get Aunt Marge to visit! That's what you all do for fun when you want to pick on Harry! Well, you wanna know what? I DO have places where I'm wanted, I'm out of here!" Harry yelled at the top of the stairs as he thought of Grimmauld Place and apparated from the Dursleys' house.
Instantly he was standing in front Ginny, who was sporting a badly bandaged arm and Neville, who was playing wizard chess with Ron.
"Harry!" Neville, Ginny, and Ron said at the exact time as they both got up out of the chairs, Neville accidentally knocked over the chess board.
"Why'd you leave Privet Drive, we only just saw eachother about an hour ago?" Ron asked.
"Listen, Voldemort had the two most important clues to finding the Chariot Ron."
"Are you guys talking about the Chariot of Thunder?" Neville asked but no one answered him.
"What does he have?" Ron asked.
"He has Michelle and Laurena." Harry replied as quiick as he could.
"So? What do they have o do with it?"
"They're the Guardians to The Chariot. Me and Hermoine knew but we forgot to tell you. So we have to save them or Voldemort will find out how to summon it and he’ll use it and cause mass devastation!"
“Harry, it can wait until tomorrow? I mean, I’m sure your tired, I’m tired and in case you forgot, some of us still have battle scars, which I might add, you don’t have any…”
“Ron, what’s that supposed to mean?” Harry demanded.
“Nothing mate, it’s just that…-“
“What? I escaped without a scar?”
“Well yes, but don’t take it the wrong way-“
“Well, you know what Ron? You only got the stupefy and maybe a few other jinxes. I was three inches away from the Killing Curse! Maybe you forget, I’m the one who’s supposed to kill Voldemort in the end, if I don’t live, He wins! If he makes Laurena look into the future and find out how to summon the Chariot to his side, I’ll get the blme-“
“HARRY! Listen to yourself! You’re scared, your really scared! No big deal! You can’t just go looking for Voldemort! You don’t even have a clue of where he is, do you? I know you don’t so why are you trying to go looking for him? Another rescue mission like the Department-“
“Ron, don’t go there!-“
“I wasn’t, Harry. Please listen to me. We can’t just go looking for him. Us four alone can’t take him on. You know that.”
“Whatever, I’ll be in my room, upstairs.”
“Harry, it’s midnight, you have to be at least drowsy, you-“
“I don’t have to do anything. I’ll be upstairs.”
"Goodnight Harry!" ginny yelled as she, Ron, Neville left the room.
Harry ascended the stairs and ran into Sirius' old room and threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
Sorry, that is only the first half. I do plan on finishing this but I have school work to do now so GO post in the Feedback please!!!
Dynamite January 7th, 2004, 10:57 pm Well, as a few people noticed, I never actually named Chapter Seventeen. But I have a name for it now, "Seeking Revenge." Here's the rest of the chapter for it.
Chapter Seventeen Continuation: Seeking Revenge
Chapter Seventeen Part Two: A Hew Day.
Harry woke up the next day in the middle of the night, feeling a lot less tense but he was still angry at Ron. "He thinks I was not attacked? whatever, I'll go save them myself." Harry thought to himself.
“Lumos!” Harry chanted as Harry looked in his trunk and got out some items that could help him stay safe. Going through his trunk, he found the Sanoscope that Neville had given him for his birthday, the Pulosceon that Seamus had given him, dodging would be way easier. He rummaged through the trunk and looked for the Watch Dean had given him, Harry had never exactly never even tried it on after his birthday, now would be a good time to use it.
Harry looked at the watch, it read 4:43, he crept ot of the doorway and crept down the stairs. “Going ze vite in zour unzerpants?” Said a particularly chanting voice. Harry turned around and Saw Fleur Delacour and her sister standing at the bottom of the stairs.
“Nice seeing you here, Fleur. What do you want now?” Harry said as he began to descend down the stairs. “I zink we both know ze answer to zat.” Fleur said slowly, trying to get the words right. “Well, I have some people to rescue now, so if you’ll excuse me.” Harry said as he tried to walk past her but she didn’t move out of the way. “If you are going ze fight, lets me help you, Arry!” she whispered as Gabrielle turned around and began to walk down the stairs.
“I’ll see you later Fleur.” Harry said as he grabbed all of the stuff that he had took out of his trunk and used his wand and attempted to apparate right behind Fleur. But unfortunately, his mind was not focused on the stairs, instead he was focused on Voldemort. “Right there, the bottom of the stairs, I’ll get Voldemort way before he can do anything, If he even-“
Harry suddenly found himself standing in front of the Riddle Mansion without realizing it. Harry tried to get up, stumbling. The lights were all on, Voldemort had to be inside.
Hopefully you'll all go post feedback for this story, I'd really appreciate it.
Dynamite January 12th, 2004, 10:42 pm Sorry about no updates over the weekend. But Here's one now. Last time I was logged in, the storyhad about 810 views, now it has 920 , I feel so special.
Chapter Eighteen: Demolition{part one}
Harry crept up on the dimly lit Riddle Mansion and began to creep up on the building when he was attacked. “Stupefy Arcene” he hards a shrewd desperate voice whisper. Everything blacked out for Harry as he fell to the ground near some bushes. The person who got him began to drag him away from the manor. “This is the end, I guess.” Harry thought to himself.
Harry woke up under a big bushy tree the next morning, dazed and tired. He was probably still feeling the effect of the spell used on him last night. Harry couldn’t help but wonder what kind of effect the spell had had on him. “I know Stupefy is the normal stunning spell but Stupefy Forte ?”When he gained his conscious , Harry felt normal, like he had earlier that morning but he was sitting next to two strangers. One was tall and black, very muscular and jet black hair. He had a big, long scar on his face too. The other one was a pale orange short stubby man, like Professor Sprout.
“So your Harry? Laurena has told me a lot about you, I suppose she told you I was an auror?” the short stubby man said.
“And who might you just be? Are you Death Eaters Because I’m warning you…” Harry said, pulling his wand out of his pocket and pointing it at the two men.
"cabrito de Whoa, no era ningún comedor de la muerte, era justo aquí conseguir a nuestros cabritos!" said the short stubby man.
“Ricardo, please don’t speak Spanish to the boy, I bet he’s not fluent. I’m Adrian Skystreak, An Auror, Michelle’s dad. The other one’s Ricardo Rodríguez, Laurena’s dad, he knows very little English but he should’ve been able to tell you were not Death Eaters
“ But the Daily Phropet said your name was Raiden-"
"It's a fake name."
"Here to get your daughters, well, then why’d you attack me? And when you used the Stupefy Arcene, why’d you use Forte on the end? What’s an Arcene?
“I didn’t attack you, Ricardo did. He thought you were a Death Eater. He attacked you on accident really. He said Stupefy Forte instead of a normal Stupefy because the normal Stupefy’s weak.”
“Come again? I mean, what do you mean?” Harry asked, very confusedly.
“Stupefy is one of the two spells that have a stronger version, the other one is Lumos. The stronger Stupefy Ricardo used on you can cause enough damage to paralyze a person for three to four hours at a time. It’s nine thirty now.”
“So, then, what’s Lumos’ stronger version?”
“Lumos Vitesse, it makes the area fully illuminated more efficient and faster. Like in an instant.
"Listen, we planning on having some Aurors meet up up here, I know your staying at Grimmauld Place. Tell Remus Adrian said to meet him East Sussex so we can plan an attack on Voldemort. Tell him to be on the Old Viaran Road, the one lined with petals.” Adrian said, almost in an instant later, the two aurors apparated away. Harry, being alone in the bushes decided to just go back to Grimmauld Place.
After going back to Grimmauld Place and informing the Order of what the aurors had said, Harry, Ron, and Neville founf themselves in the heart of downtown East Sussex on Calambria Road. Remus, Miss Figg, Tonks. And just about every member of the Order of Pheonix was walking with them.
“This is so exciting! An actual attack!” Ginny said as she, Fred and George ran up to catch up with everyone. Soon, Zilda from the Zonko’s shop caught up with them. “Well, I’ve been in the Order since the end of last year, forgot to tell you Harry.” She said as her silver hair bunced all over the place. Lupin called everyone to a halt as he approached a door. He ringed the doorbell and Hermoine came to the door.
“Hi Lupin, I got your owl. But what is this about?”
“You remember when you all asked to be in the Order? Well, your in but were going to need you kid’s help. Are you coming? We’ll be on the edge of the village.”
“I suppose, let me get my coat.” She said as she went in her house and got a cloak instead of a muggle coat. She walked towards the end of the line. “Hi everyone, nice one day break I suppose?” she said sarcastically.
“You lived in East Sunnex the whole time? I could’ve visited anytime! “ Ginny joked. “We st moved this summer, my parents found it useless driving from Staffordshire to Kinga Cross every year. Besides, I’m closer to you guys.” She said as they approached Old Viaran Road, where the two aurors stood. “Are we ready, Moody said as he walked towards Skystreak and Rodriguez. “Long time, no see, Adrian, Ricardo? Learned English yet?”

Dynamite January 13th, 2004, 2:55 am Another Update Today, but it's small... compared to my usual chapters.
Chapter Eighteen Part Two
“Alastor, we all need to be serious. So, when do you plan on getting that eye fixed?” Skystreak joked. They all began to walk, they’re about fifteen people. Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Fred, George, Ginny, Neville, Lupin, Tonks, Moody, Miss Figg, Professor Kingsley, Mr. Weasly,and Ricardo and Adrian.
When they reached the end of the corner, Moody stopped them all. “Listen up everyone, we all need to split up, The Weasley children will all go together. Potter, Granger and Longbottom will all go together. Me, Tonks, and Figg will go together. The rest of you will all go together. That building is the Riddle Mansion. We all are going to split up and sneak up on it. When the children get up there, wait for an auror to get up there.
“Why can’t we just apparate up there?” Ginny asked. “We can’t just apparate up there because we don’t even know if Voldemort has people stationed around the manor.” Moody replied.
“He does. We and Ricardo saw Black enter the manor earlier.She was accompanied with Antonin and Arviana Dolohov. We saw Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle in the village at the festival-“Adrian started but Hermoine interrupted.
“Draco was there! I knew he’d be there! He’s staying here for the semester! I saw him at that festival, I mean, he was just grinning at he and he apparated in my face, called me a mudblood, I thought it was just a mirage-“
“Anyways, Goyle and Crabbe decided they’d reveal themselves and he set one food hut on fire. The Magic Reversal Squad came and brought some Ministry Officials. Diggory’s going to be in the village for a while, until the rumors cool down. So is it true that they stopped the sales of the Daily Phropet, heard a lot of nasty stuff about Potter two years ago.”
“Yeah, they stopped the production of the phropet. But we need to split up now. Everyone!” Lupin yelled.
Ron waved bye to Ron, Ginny and the twins as they turned down Magniora Road. Harry, Hermoine and Neville walked straight. It began to get dark as they all walked in silence. No one decided to talk, they all preferred trhe silence. Right before they got to the manor gates, they heard a ear-piercing scream. Everyone jumped as they all turned around. It was Antonin Dolohov,.
Dynamite January 21st, 2004, 10:43 pm It's been a long time, shouldn't a left you, without a chapter to read to you! Here's another chapter, sorry for the delays.
Chapter Eighteen Part Three
“So, what do we have here, Potter, some girl, and the Longbottom child? A very deadly trio indeed. But how’d you inf my master’s quarters? No matter, we won’t be needing any of you.” He said in what was almost one breath. Hermoine looked the most scared. She showed signs of fear in her face, Neville did too but Harry tried to stay calm but he was too tense. Dolohov pulled out his wand slowly but Hermoine beat him to the punch.
“Stupefy Forte!” she yelled at him, shaking slightly. Dolohov fell silent and fell to the ground. He layed there otionless. Neville looked at Harry who looked at Hermoine. “I actually READ my school books before I come to Hogwarts, is that a problem? She said as she whispered “Vupefi”. “It’s a spell that braked solid metal.” She said as the metal gates sank into the small dirt road.
As they walked up the long path, They all noticed that as they all walked closer to the house, things got very blurry for everyone. As soon as they got to the door, a bit shield was around the house, like a misty vapor. All of a sudden, they all began to fall. Like they were using Floo Powder.
All three of them landed of a dungeon, all in a heap. Harry felt a lot of pain in his leg. They looked up at the dimly lit dungeon, where two people were sitting unconscious on two chairs. Harry got up, his leg was very badly injured. His leg wasn’t bleeding but he felt like his leg was broken. He stumbled and fell. Hermoine and Neville both helped him up, Neville’s scar from the Hogwarts attack was bleeding again, he had hit a piece of glass on it when he fell. Hermoine seemed very unhurt. When they got across the room, they found out who the people in the chairs were.
It was Michelle and Laurena. But wouldn’t he have a better place to have them besides the basement?
They were in a very deep sleep. Hermoine untied them and Harry had to hold himself up so Hermoine and Neville could hold the girls. Hermoine saw Harry was in a lot of pain just moving so she pointed her wand at him and said “Castias” and acast that was up to his knew was placed on his leg. Harry was able to walk without trouble.
For a few minutes, they stood there trying to get the girls to regain conscience ut they gave up and held on the girls and apparated to Old Vairan Road in East Sunnex. They saw no signs of Any Order members or the Weasleys so Hermoine led Harry and Neville to her house Mid-way to Hermoine’s house, Laurena re-gained consciousness, she was silently mumbling to herself. Then the funniest thing happened, Harry looked in Laurena’s eyes and they were flashing gold like the first time she had a vision. Harry’s scar began to hurt horribly and He fell to the ground…
“So, how’d you let them get away Wormtail?”
“Master-“
“There’s no excuse!”
“But-“
“Crucio!”
“No Master- please!”
Harry began to hear muffled screams and they didn’t stop for a long time, he saw Wormtail being tortured, with all of his fellow Death Eaters laughng. All of a sudden, the doors burst open, nd there stood an auror- Adrian and Lupin had just bust through the door. Then the vision ended.
When Harry regained his consciousness, he saw Laurena in the corner or a St. Mungo’s room, crying. Michelle and Adrian were both trying to console her for something but she didn’t stp sobbing. Fred and Georse were laying, asleep next to him. Hermoine and The Rest of the Weasley’s were all talking in the hall silently. Remus and Moody were standing by Tonks, who was very badly injured.
Harry being bored, began to pay more attention to the Weasly’s conversation.
“But he’s dead mum, what do we tell Laurena? Her Dad’s on a really extended vacation? Her parents are dead, she’s the heir of-“
“Ginny! Be quiter! No one need to know!”
“Mum, she needs to know. If we don’t tell her, she’ll try to kill Voldemort in an instance. You know that is just so…”
“What Ginny?”
“He might kill her off to. Then the last member of a family of very famous Seer’s and Auror’s will have ended. But Mrs. Weasley, you too care about her protection if I’m right?” asked Dumbledore, who had just walked near the doorway.
“Dumbleore, you know that I know she hates being a seer. She just wants to be normal… If-“
“She has no choice but to be informed of the events that occurred tonight. Also, the ministry will be informed. Diggory has no choice to listen. And bring Harry, Ron and Hermoine to the old inn back in East Sunnex for briefing. The other members of DA will be notified to meet us there.” Dumbledore said as he quickly apparated away.
Uh huh! Go post in the feedback!
Dynamite January 23rd, 2004, 12:37 am Just when it's getting good!
Chapter Nineteen: The Depression Era[Part One]
Harry dreamed about all the events that had happened over the last two months. He had seen the images of a forgotten past, how could he have let these two months turn out so bad? It had started out so well, no one was killed, the world was at peace, and yet, no he had gotten so many people injured, one even killed. Laurena was never going to speak to him, not that she really ever did. She was going to lose all respect for him, perhaps he little bit she had left. Ron and Hermoine were speechless when they spoke to him the next morning. Laurena was sobbing very loudly while Michelle and her father attempted to console her. She had apparently found out about her father’s death. She had been sobbing all night. Harry, who was also injured, looked at her, trying to look sympathetic for her, she looked at him and instantly turned in the other direction. Then the Twins walked in the room, both looking extremely tired.
“Well mate, it’s not as bad as it seems, she only threatened to get her revenge on you seventeen times and wants the ultimate revenge on Voldemort and the Death Eaters. But on the bright side-“
“GEORGE! SHUT UP OK? I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT!” Harry yelled as he tried to get out of the bed. He hadn’t realized it but he was now sporting a cast on his left arm, and a brace on his right leg.
“Harry, you’re badly injured, don’t even try it.” Mr. Weasley said, entering the room, unscarred. Harry turned to the window and atared out of it.
For the next month, Harry spent most of his time in the Healing Room. Laurena and Tonks were hi only companions. Mot of the time, Laurena and Harry were both awake, she giving Harry the evilest look she could manage in her condition. There was no excaping the Avada Kevadra spell, like Moody had said in his fourth year at Hogwarts. October rolled in and all three of them were still in St. Mungo’s. Hogwarts was to be re-instated some Hallowene and in Harry’s condition, he wasn’t going to be out by then. Ron and Hermoine visited when they could, but it never helped Harry feel any better, it made him feel a lot much worse. Ron and Hermoine had been doing a lot of research on the Chariot, thye had found out it’s primary location.
“It’s hovers around Britain every night during the week, the last seven days of each onth, isn’t that a good a start?” Hermoine said enthusiastically.
Harry didn’t pay attention, he just wanted to be away from St. Mungo’s so he’d stop feeling so guilty about Ricardo’s death. But Laurena was quickly filling that department, she was crying most of the time, and when she wasn’t, she was talking to her Healer about the times she has spent with her father when he was still alive.
Harry’s world was coming to an end. Harry tried to think about the conversation he had heard with the Weasleys and Dumbledore the night of the raid on the Riddle Mansion. He had told The Weasleys to assemble the members of the DA, but why? Hermoine and Ron didn’t even try to hint anything at all and they certainly didn’t have plans to tell him.
It was October 23, Harry was feeling much more relieved and Laurena was to leave the hospital that day and to return to Ecuador, he had heard Hermoine saying goodbye to her.
“I’ll miss you, send me a owl once in a while..” Hermoine said as Laurena limped out the door, with her casts removed. And she walked out without loking back. Michelle ran into the room. She also had bags packed up. But she was dragging a trunk as well. She was returning to Hogwarts. “ I’ll miss you two so much! She’s going home but I’m going to Texas for a week so I can be with my mom, well goodbye. “ she said as she walked out of the room.

Chapter Nineteen: The Depression Era [part two]
Harry sat there, bored. He was stuck there, in St. Mungo’s until the day before the return to Hogwarts, and Harry felt much better but his healer, Betty was like Madam Promfrey, she was running so many check ups and tests. She took off all of Harry’s casts off and he thanked her. Tonks had gone home the day earlier, when Betty was going to call someone to escort him to Grimmauld Place, he had already apparated.
Ron, Hermoine, Ginny, and michelle were all sitting in the Kitchen when Harry landed, they were all surprised. Before anyone could say anything, Laurena, who showed signs of she had been crying walked into the room. She instantly turned around and left the room. She returned with her wand in her hand and challenged Harry to a duel to the end.
“Laurena, I’m really sorry-“ Harry said, picking himself off the floor. He put his hands in his pockets but Laurena pointed the wand at him. “Listen, dueling won’t get your hatred out-“ Harry started off but faded off. All Laurena did was look at Harry and she began to tear, her eyes began to fill with water. She then dropped her wand to the ground and fell to the ground and began sobbing. .
“You don’t know how it feels Harry! Not only is he dead, I can’t get him back! You’re used to your parents not being alive, I’m not trying to offend you but I’m not used to it! My Mother just died before the Hogwarts Term began! I never told anyone but- but- but I can’t stand it anymore, they got my sister, my brother, and mom, and my dad too! Can’t you do something? I mean, you know where he is-“
“Laurena, I DO know how you feel, but I can’t just let you go chasing after Voldemort! That would endanger your life, mine and a whole lot more! Didn’t you see the damage done? The Order is practically burned out of energy trying to stop Voldemort and I am too!”
Laurena just stood there, silent for a few moments. The she broke the silence. “I, I’m sorry.” She said as she left the room. Harry wnet up to his room without even saying Hi to anyone and began to pack up his trunk. When he got up there, nothing had been moved since the night he left to save the girls.
Harry kept to himself for the whole night, packing up all of his stuff clothes, Hogwarts stuff and other belongings in his Hogwarts Trunk. He then went to sleep. The next day, they were all back at King’s Cross to leave off for Hogwarts. Even though they were in disguise, Harry, Ron and Hermoine could easily tell that there were Ministry of Magic officials and guards stationed all around the area. As soon as Ron spotted Parvati, he left them all to greet with her.
Hagrid who was not sporting a neck brace came up to Harry, Hermoine, Michelle and Laurena with a notepad and a pen. He began writing on the pad and handed it to Harry.
