When Harry returns to Privet Drive for the summer, he wants nothing more than to be left alone to deal with Sirius's death and his own destiny. However, no one wants to leave him alone, least of all Lord Voldemort. But after another evil plot is discovered, Harry is forced to face Voldemort and his own fears when the people he love are threatened. What he does not know is that every step he takes brings him closer to Voldemort's trap and the dark secret of death...which threatens to consume him at last. R/R!

Harry is back at Grimmauld Place with Ron and Hermione. What happens when he has to face everyone again?

The day of the trio's return to Hogwarts is coming closer and closer. They have to buy new N.E.W.T. books that Ron hates and Hermione loves. Azkaban is being guarded by security trolls and the Death Eaters still haven't broken out. Slow on the uptake, aren't they? And what's wrong with Ginny?

Everyone is back at Hogwarts! What fun! What joy! What merriment! New DADA teacher is here (anyone wanna bet how long this one lasts?), cheeky little first years are bugging Harry, Hermione has a new obsession, and Ron has forgotten all his prefect duties. Could there be a better beginning to a school year?

Snape drags Harry off somewhere to so he can yell at him about what an idiot he's been, punching Malfoy and all. Thankfully, Dumbledore interrupts them before anymore blows can be dealt and he discusses the issue of Mark Evans with Harry. What is revealed to Harry in this one visit to Dumbledore's office?

I believe the title of this chapter is very self-explanatory.

The D.A. has been reinstated and it's up to Harry and Ron to find a boggart to use for practicing Patronuses.
