PROLOGUE:
It was the first day of September. It was the first day of Harry's last year at Hogwarts. He had already given a lot of thought to what he would be after he graduated from Hogwarts. He was going to take a year off to travel, and then hopefully settle down in England and open a quaint little neighborhood restaurant. Of course these were just fantasies. Harry still wasn't *really* sure what he would be doing. But he knew he would miss Hogwarts a lot. Hogwarts was where he first made friends. Where, for the first time since his parents died he was cared for by people that loved him.
As he watched a new batch of students being sorted into their houses, Harry couldn't help thinking about how much he would miss Hogwarts when he was gone. He looked up at Professor McGonagall who was reading off the students' names in that same sharp, intimidating voice that she used when she called off Harry's own name seven years before. But Harry knew that she wasn't as sharp as she seemed. She was really a wonderful person, though, sadly, the only person who voiced that opinion was Hermione. But Harry privately agreed wholeheartedly, and he was pretty sure there were a lot of others who did too.
Harry's eyes shifted over to Hagrid who was watching the Sorting intently. Hagrid was the one who told Harry he was a wizard. Harry owed a lot to Hagrid the wonderful lovable giant who had befriended Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Because Hagrid wasn't a true Professor, he was able to talk to Harry on a different level than the teachers were able to. Harry made a note to himself that he would have to visit Hagrid.
After the Sorting was over, Professor Dumbledore stood up to have a few words. Harry thought for a bit about how much he would miss Dumbledore. Dumbledore had always been there for him, and he always knew what was going on. In a way, he was sort of the wise old grandfather that Harry never had. Harry almost started to cry at the reality that he would have to leave all of these people whom he loved so much, and he hadn't even begun to think about the students whom he was going to have to leave.
"Welcome," Professor Dumbledore said, "to another year at Hogwarts." Harry noticed a definite quiver in his voice. He turned to Ron to see if he noticed it too, and Ron nodded to show he did. "I'd like to introduce to you four new people who will join the Hogwarts family this year," he continued, "but one or two of them, however, may not be so new to all of you." His eyes lingered for a moment on Harry and his friends. Harry smiled at Dumbledore, but he couldn't help but feel puzzled by the way Dumbledore seemed to be so suddenly nervous. Something wasn't right. "Messrs Sirius Black and Remus Lupin are here to fill the position of Quidditch trainer, left vacant by Madam Hooch. Many of you may recognize –"
At that moment, the doors blew open and all of the lights went out. There was an explosion from the end of Dumbledore's wand, and all of the students scrambled under the tables. In the dim light that came from the doorway, Harry could just barely see Professor McGonagall making her way towards a shadowy figure who stood at the entrance to the Great Hall. An explosion came from the end of her wand, and Harry could see the figure was none other than Lord Voldemort himself!
"Rectus Leadus!" screamed Professor McGonagall. Light from her wand shot right through the figure!
"It's just an illusion, Minerva!" came Dumbledore's voice from the back of the room. Harry could hear foot-shuffling that told him Dumbledore was running to the front as well. He was right, because a few seconds later, Dumbledore came into view with Professor McGonagall.
"Projectus dissipatus!" screamed Dumbledore and McGonagall together. The image of Voldemort started to fade, but before it did, it made eye contact with Harry. It aimed its wand at Harry and uttered a spell. The last thing Harry saw before being enveloped in internal brown fog was Professor McGonagall turn into a cat and jump into Voldemort's line of fire.
A/N: I hope you all liked it! I didn't put any of your characters in the prologue, but the story will unfold shortly, starting with the first chapter. I think it's very interesting how I decided to do this, but you'll have to wait and see; it's a surprise. **Many of your characters will appear in Chapter One, so check back soon**
