The Prologue-
Dumbledore and Sirius dead. Who was to blame? Lord Voldemort. just thinking his name made Harry Potter burn with anger. He couldn't stand it. All he could do was stand there while Dumbledore died, and Snape ran out. Another name which anger was followed by. This was horrible. He just wanted to Apparate over to #12 Grimmauld Place, however, Moody's instructions had been clear,
Do not leave the house of your Aunt and Uncle!
How was he supposed to do that? He wanted to fight. It was like a repeat of his fifth year. Ron and Hermione sitting at Grimmauld Place while he sat on his butt in his room! Nothing was right. Harry had been sitting in his room forever, practicing spells. He figured by now that he was even better at all of the spells, curses, hexs, and jinxes that he had learned than Hermione. Her and Ron had only sent him two cards a piece this whole summer,
Dear Harry,
Cleaning is going great at Headquarters! I can't wait to see you! Ginny is okay on the outside, but we can all tell that she is wrecked on the inside (even Ron can tell!) Please get back together with her! Ron and I are (heh heh) dating now! Gotta go,
Love,
Hermione
Dear Harry,

Ron

Dear Harry
Happy Birthday mate!! I had a hard time trying to buy your gift because, you came of age, so I finally decided on this. I hope you like it! Lupin should be over to pick you up this week.
Happy Birhtday,
Ron
Enclosed was a book on wandless and nonverbal magic and a HUGE box of Honeydukes sweets.
The week that Ron had mentioned in his last letter was nearing its end and Harry had seen no sign of Remus.
He sat on his bed, half-asleep, with the wandless magic book on his chest. He had been up for four full hours working on performing a stunner without his wand and nonverbaly. He had been able to manage each in turn, but not together. Then without warning, with a loud crack, Lupin, Moody, and Tonks Apparated, in his room.
