Prologue

Failure Of The Light…

Harry stood silently before the headmasters desk watching the tears slowly run down the cheeks of the one man he had always trusted above all others, Harry spoke quietly with a cold hollowness in his voice 'I need sometime headmaster,' turning quickly on his heal and rushing out of the office.

Meanwhile in the hospital wing

Everyone was sat around Ron and Hermione's beds just looking, quietly reflecting on the last few hours. Ginny closed her eyes as she thought of Sirius she had gotten quite close to him the previous summer when they were locked in Grimmauld place, feeling the tears slip down her cheeks she hoped Harry was ok as they hadn't seen him since there return to Hogwarts 1 hour earlier with the rest of the Order.

Ginny, Neville and Luna had all been healed quickly by Madam Pomfrey but they still weren't able to find out what happened to Ron, they were all waiting for a response from one of the unspeakable's, Hermione was healed and should wake up shortly. Ginny looked up quickly as the door to the hospital wing creaked open and Harry slipped in looking more broken than ever.

Everyone looked over at him as he slipped in to a chair beside Ginny without saying a word, Ginny looked in his eyes and without a word reached over and took his hand in hers squeezing it gently, she watched a soft smile spread over his lips.

Harry looked up at Ron and Hermione, speaking softly to Ginny in a croaking voice that sounded like he had been yelling a lot recently 'Gin…Are they ok?' tears slowly streaming down his cheeks as he looked at his two unconscious friends.

Ginny raised a brow slightly at Harry calling her Gin as she never let anyone call her that except Bill, but quickly squeezed his hand again replying just as softly 'Yes, there both going to be fine, Hermione should wake up shortly but she will have some scars for a while…Madam Pomfrey said Ron should wake up soon as well but she has asked one of the unspeakable's for the advice regarding him anyway….'

Smiling a little Harry looked up and looked Ginny in the eye seeing a fire there he hadn't noticed before, then looking up and looking each at all of his friends gathered around the beds before he spoke again in his croaky voice to them not realising that Neville had dozed off 'I'm sorry I got you all involved in this…' pausing as he glanced at Luna staring straight off into space before she suddenly spoke up in a raspy voice he had only just heard a little while ago.

Everyone's eyes snapped to Luna as she started talking in a raspy voice…

'A lost warrior will arise, Betrayed by the line of the Phoenix,

Betrayed by those who were always faithful,

She will have strength the light has been lacking,

A new guardian of the temple has been chosen,

Born to the family that was always pure

And she shall shield the light with her love,

The lost warrior has arisen.'

Harry blinked as he heard Luna give the prophecy feeling his eyes slowly fill with tears at the realisation, muttering quietly to himself he hissed 'Dumbledore…he is the line of the phoenix…' he finished trailing off in thought.

Ginny looked at him her eyes wide with fear as she heard what he had said, she whispered quietly to him 'Harry….do you know what that means? Why did Luna talk like that?' she asked wondering what was going on.

Nodding mutely Harry looked over at Luna noticing that she looked just as dreamy as before and had no idea anything had happened, leaning forward he whispered quietly in Ginny's ear 'Gin I need to talk to you, please come with me to the room of requirement.'

Harry looked at Luna smiling warmly at her he spoke quietly not wanting to over heard by the nurse or anyone else 'Luna we will be back soon, please keep watch over my friends, and Thank you for being such a great friend to me this last year.'

Luna looked back at him finally focusing on him her dreamy smile back and replied softly 'Don't worry, you will always be Harry to me,' she said airily.

Harry smiled slightly shocked that Luna knew something, he looked down at Hermione lying between them before he sighed softly and walked towards the door disappearing from the Hospital Wing into the darkened corridor Ginny walking quietly beside him wondering what was going on.

Dumbledore's Office

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore sat quietly at his desk wondering how he was going to get Harry back under control and ready to fulfil the prophecy when a thought suddenly come to him, he quickly rushed to the fire place throwing a handful of floo powder into the flames before sticking his head in the fire and yelling loudly into the dark kitchen of the Burrow.

'Molly!' yelled Dumbledore wondering where the woman was when she suddenly appeared out of the shadows near the fireplace.

Speaking softly she said 'Yes headmaster, Is something wrong?'

Looked quietly at the woman before replying 'Yes, can you and Arthur please come through quickly I fear there is something wrong with Harry,' closing his eyes for moment to let that sink in before continuing 'Please come through quickly,' pulling his head quickly from the fire and returning to his desk.

Moments later Arthur and Molly Weasley quickly stepped out of the fire looking quickly at the tired looking headmaster Mrs Weasley quickly spoke up 'What is it Albus? What has happened?'

Professor Dumbledore quickly looked up at Mrs Weasley before replying quietly 'There was an accident tonight, I'm afraid Sirius Black has been killed by death eaters,' pausing for a moment he pointed to the chairs in front of his desk sighing 'Please take a seat and I'll tell you everything that has happened tonight.'

Room of Requirement

Harry walked quickly up and down the hall in front of where the room of requirement should be before the door finally appeared and he opened the door letting Ginny slip in ahead of him before he closed it firmly and mentally asked the room to give him a warning if someone approached the door having learnt his mistake from Umbridge finding them.

He noticed quickly that the room had produced a comfortable looking sofa in front of a warm fire, he sat down quickly beside Ginny noticing that she was still looking at him with a confused expression on her face, looked in her eyes before smiling quickly he said 'Gin, there some stuff I need to tell you, and I need to know if I can trust you,' he smiled a little seeing the fire light her eyes.

'Of course you can trust me Harry, you don't even need to ask,' she said angrily wondering how he could doubt them after everything that had happened tonight, 'Now please tell me, what is wrong? What has happened?'

Harry smiled before quickly raising his wand and saying 'I Harry James Potter, hereby swear on my life and magic that everything I'm going to tell you Ginerva Weasley is true to the best of my knowledge,' smiling as he saw the flash of light sealing the oath and the shocked expression on Ginny's face.

'You…You….You didn't need to do that…I told you I trust you..' she said with a sad look in her eyes as she realised he really must not think she trusted him at all.

Harry smiled when he saw the sad look in her eyes, reaching out and taking her hand gently in his he said 'I know you trust me Gin and I trust you more than anyone else at the moment, but I'm going to be telling you a lot of unbelievable stuff.'

Ginny nodded slightly wondering where he was going with this.

'Well the first thing I think you should know, is that I have feelings for you. I have for months now but I didn't want to cause any problems with Ron, so I followed his advice and asked Cho out…'

'Please I don't want you to say anything now, I just wanted you to know,' smiling slightly at the bewildered expression on her face.

'…Now I think you should know that just before I come down to the hospital wing Dumbledore told me about another prophecy that was made about me before I was born…. I'm going to tell you what it said now but please don't tell anyone…' closing his eyes before continuing in a hollow voice he recited the prophecy to her he had heard in Dumbledore's office.

'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord Approaches,

Born to those who have thrice defied him, Born as the Seventh Month Dies,

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal,

But he will have power the Dark Lord knows not,

And either must die at the hands of the other,

For neither can live while the other survives,

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.'

The moment he finished talking Ginny launched herself straight at him, hugging him tightly as she sobbed into his chest, she choked out in between sobs 'Why….can't…they leave you alone?'

Harry run his fingers lightly over her cheeks wiping the tears away before he replied 'I don't know, but that prophecy is the reason my parents were in hiding and killed…' pausing for a moment to look up into Ginny's eyes 'I don't know what to do…Dumbledore has lied to me about everything and now he has cost me Sirius with his lies' he broke down at this leaning into her shoulder.

Ginny slipping her arms around him holding him, whispering quietly in his ear 'There is only one day left of school for this year, pretend nothing is wrong for now…we have the whole summer to prepare' smiling slightly she stood pulling him up with her to head back to the hospital wing.

Harry grinned at her realising she was right, he could wait until he was at the Dursleys to plan what he was going to do.

A short time later in Dumbledore's Office…

Dumbledore smiled watching the couple as Arthur finished talking with his wife.

'Your right Albus, I think he should have some company there with him for the summer…but do you really think it should be Ginny?'

Dumbledore sighed internally as he listened to this 'Yes, I've been watching them both through the year and she seems to be the only one he opens up to on any level'

Smiling at this Arthur turned to his wife for a moment as if in silent communication before looking back over at the headmaster nodding a little 'Yes ok then, we agree…should we go and tell them then?'

Rising slowly from his chair pulling his wife along with him as he headed for the door to the office with Dumbledore trailing behind.

Dumbledore smiled to himself as he followed the Weasley elders from his office, yes this was perfect he thought, the Weasley girl will stop the little brat from doing anything stupid, perhaps all isn't lost after all. Nodding to himself he lead everyone up the hallway to find the Potter brat.
