First I must say that I do not own any of this and I'm just doing this for fun and leisure. I hope you enjoy this and I hope it helps for those who have just finished that fifth book and want answers!

Year 6:

Harry Potter

and

the

Moon-Pearl Tear

Chapter One:

The Results

The sun glared at Privet Drive. This made it the hottest day the people of Privet Drive had ever seen (Even scorching the blistering day in July last year). A sixteen year-old boy slept soundly on his bed unaware of the heat outside.

In fact the heat could only be witnessed through a window if one was inside, thanks to the boy's plea for an air-conditioner in his room. Not that he had needed to plea. The boy's, who's name was Harry Potter, friends had spoken with the Dursleys, Harry's horrible aunt, uncle and cousin. They had asked Harry to write every three days to them to tell them if was being mistreated and they would come running (Harry would send this by owl as was common with witches and wizards).

Yes, Harry Potter was a wizard as he had discovered on his eleventh birthday. Another friend of Harry's named Rubeus Hagrid, who was currently Harry's Care of Magical Creatures teacher, came and told Harry this and that he had been accepted at a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry's Aunt and Uncle had been furious for they had lied to Harry and never told him about his magical potential.

The friends that had spoken with the Dursleys were Mad-Eye Moody, Remus Lupin, Arthur Weasley and Nymphadora Tonks (she liked to go by her last name and Harry couldn't blame her, tough it wasn't much better). None of these people were normal in the slightest tough it was hard to be normal when you were a witch or wizard, but these people were highly unusual even by wizarding terms.

Moody and Tonks were Aurors. Aurors are wizards trained to catch dark wizards. One of Moody's eyes was lost to the cause and was replaced by a magical eye that was nowhere near the size of his other eye and was electric blue. It was a welcome improvement of Moody's for it enabled him to see through and other similar things, even through the back of head.

Tonks, the other Auror, was a Metamorphmagus. A Metamorphmagus has the ability to change whatever piece or their appearance at will, they could change there body completely if they desired so. Tonks was usually never seen with the same hair color.

Remus Lupin was the most unusual but his was also the most hidden. He was so unusual that most other wizards and witches shunned him when they found out what he was making it very difficult for to find a job. He had been Harry's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in his third year at Hogwarts, the magical school Harry attended, and was responsible for many of the spells he was proficient at which was odd for someone his age. Remus Lupin was a were-wolf and there was no cure. A recent discovery entitled the Wolf-Bane Potion allowed Lupin to control himself during his monthly transformations.

Arthur Weasley was very odd indeed. He was obsessed with muggles, non-magic people. He was often seen with some muggle object that he was tinkering with. In Harry's second year Mr. Weasley had bewitched a muggle car to fly and become invisible. However, Mr. Weasley's great love of muggles did extend to their currency. Whenever Harry was with Mr. Weasley he often had to help when came to using muggle money.

Another unusual thing about all four was they were all members of the Order of the Phoenix, a secret society intent on fighting Lord Voldemort, the darkest wizard of all time, and his followers, the Death Eaters. It was because of Lord Voldemort, most witches and wizards refrained from saying his name and substituted with You-Know-Who and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, that Harry had to live with his Aunt and Uncle. Voldemort had killed his parents and tried to kill Harry because of a prophecy made by Harry's current Divination teacher at Hogwarts. The prophecy had stated that a boy born at end of the seventh month, Harry's birthday was July 31rst, would destroy him. Harry's mother, Lily Potter, had died to save him and the curse Voldemort used to try kill Harry rebounded upon himself because of this. Voldemort was left barely with no powers.

Harry's Divination teacher's name was Sibyl Trelawney and she was a fraud. Actually she had made some real predictions but only two. This one and another one in Harry's third year that said that one of the Dark Lord's servants would return to him and he had.

His name was Wormtail he was an animagus, a wizard that can transform into an animal, and was pretending to be Ron's, a close friend of Harry's that went to school with him and one of Mr. Weasley's numerous sons, rat, Scabbers. Wormtail made a narrow escape and returned to his master. In fact Wormtail used a potion containing his hand, a bone of Voldemort's father and Harry's blood to give Voldemort a new body. Voldemort now had Harry's blood and the magic protection left by his mother was gone.

Harry stirred and opened his eyes and the first thing that greeted him was his reflection. A thin face topped with untidy black hair and with green eyes stared back at him. It was day after his sixteenth birthday and Harry couldn't more pleased with the unusual amount of gifts he had gotten this year but then remembering his suspicion of why his happiness drained away. Harry suspected that everyone was being so nice with him because a little over a month ago Harry's godfather and the closest thing had to a parent had died. Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, had been killed while dueling with his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange, who was one Voldemort's biggest supporter's.

Before suspecting these ulterior motives Harry had really enjoyed all his gifts. Ron had given Harry a Deflagration Deluxe box of jokes from the Weasley Wizard Wheezes, a store owned by Ron's twin brother's Fred and George. It included many things invented by the twins themselves. Some of the things in it were Skiving Snackboxes, clever things that made you sick when you ate one side of a candy bar so you could get out of class then you simply ate the other side and you had a whole class time to yourself, Ton-Tongue Toffees, if you tricked someone into eating one of these their tongue would swell to gargantuan proportions before shrinking back to normal size again, Canary Creams, which made you burst into feather momentarily, a Portable Swamp, which you threw onto the ground and instantly a swamp would appear, and finally (Harry's personal favorite) Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs magical fireworks that were very difficult to get rid of and never wore out.

Hermione, another close friend of Harry's that attended Hogwarts, gave Harry a magical watch from Wonkay's Wrist-Watches with instructions on all the magical functions it had and the incantations needed to set it. Harry had fiddled with only long enough for him to get the time in Luxembourg.

Tonks and Mad-Eye both gave Harry books entitled: The Path of the Auror and Are You Ready For a Hard Life? Harry was considering becoming an Auror just like Tonks and Mad-Eye when he left Hogwarts. He had told them this during one of his letters that told them how he was doing.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley gave Harry the biggest assortment of candy he had ever seen containing all of Harry's favorites: Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, and Fizzing Whizbees, along with an enormous black fudge cake with green icing saying: Happy Sixteenth, Harry!

Lupin gave Harry what he first thought was an old, oddly large hand mirror. Right before Harry tossed it aside however he saw that a note had come with it:

Dear Harry,

Do not throw the mirror away! It is far more important that you realize. It's called a Note-Keeper. It's the one I used to use when I went to school. I'm sorry I couldn't get a new one but I still have had no luck with finding a job. Anyway, just tap your wand against the mirror and say, "New!" Then make sure you give it a title and take your notes by writing them on the mirror with your wand. When you're finished tap the mirror and it will go away. If you want to see it or add to it just tap the mirror and say the title of the page out-loud. I hope you use it.

Happy Birthday,

Remus Lupin

Harry had stared at the mirror with new-found amazement. He had then finally tossed it aside to look at his final present which he guessed must be from Hagrid. Harry had opened the final parcel to find a folded hooded cloak made of a shiny, scaly blue material. Another note accompanied this gift in Hagrid's scrawl:

Dear Harry,

Dumbledore just sent me Norbert's first skin molt and I used the skin to make this cloak for you. Since it's dragon skin it's water-proof and most spells just bounce off it. I hope you like it.

You're friend,

Hagrid

Harry had dropped the cloak and looked at it in a mix of disgust and horror. He knew that Hagrid had just been trying to be nice and thoughtful but the thought that the cloak was once on a dragon made Harry shiver slightly. Harry had remembered only too well the dragon Hagrid had one in a game of cards and tried to raise in his hut on the Hogwarts school grounds. The dragon, which Hagrid had christened "Norbert", had grown too large for the hut and with the help of Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, they managed to give Norbert to Charlie, another of Ron's brothers who worked with dragons in Romania.

Harry snapped back to the present at the sound of a loud rapping noise from his window. Harry ran to the window and opened it, allowing a handsome eagle owl to fly in with an envelope in its beak sealed with the Hogwarts crest, A badger, eagle, lion and a serpent around a giant letter H.

The owl dropped the envelope and flew out just as quickly as it had arrived. Harry gazed transfixed at the envelope. There was only one thing it could be. Harry's O.W.L results. O.W.L. stood for Ordinary Wizarding Levels and they were a teast every student took in their fifth year at Hogwarts. The results determined which N.E.W.T. (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests) you had been excepted in. For most classes you had to get an A or higher. the grading scale goes: O for Outstanding, E for Exceeds Expectations and A for Acceptable. A was the last passing grade. The failing grades were: P for Poor, D for Dreadful and if anyone performed extremely abysmally they were given a T for Troll.

Harry opened the envelope carefully and read the letter:

Dear Mr. Potter,

You have received an O.W.L. in the following subjects:

Transfiguration: E

Charms: E

DADA: O

Herbology: A

Care of Magical Creatures: O

Divination: P

Potions: O

The classes you have passed will enable you to begin N.E.W.T. level classes. We hope you enjoy your lessons and these results.

Happy Holidays,

Amanda Holphink

(Test Grade Announcer)

Harry had expected all of these grades except for the last one. Harry had thought he had done quite horribly during the Potions O.W.L. Harry's least favorite teacher Snape taught that class and Harry always did horribly in his presence. Harry had thought he had had done better during the O.W.L because Snape was absent, but an O?

Harry tossed the letter aside and sat down at his desk looking in a reverie at Hedwig's (Harry's owl) cage. Harry then just remembered that during his Career Advice session which all fifth years took prior to their O.W.L. so they would know what classes they would need to pass to get the job you wanted. Dolores Umbridge, in Harry's opinion the most horrible person on the face of the earth, was there to witness his session while Professor McGonagall, Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, had been angered by Umbridge and said that she would help Harry become an Auror if it was last thing she did. Perhaps she had tinkered with Harry's Potions grade for you needed an O in the Potions class to get to N.E.W.T. level which you needed to be an Auror.

No, thought Harry, It's McGonagall. She was mad then. She wouldn't really do it would she?

Harry grabbed large amounts of his hair thinking hard. Of she wouldn't McGonagall wouldn't go that far. Perhaps Harry really had done better on his O.W.L. than he had thought. Still brooding over this Harry stood up and walked out of the room and began to climb down the stairs to his what was sure to be a solitary breakfast.
