The Greatest Wizard of All

*

Prologue

Looking up at the stars through his emerald green eyes, he gazes at the glittering specks of light in the sky which deeply reminded him of Hermione's eyes, but yet none could be as beautiful as the stars in her eyes. Lately every moment that he has to spare ((which was little)) he thought of her, the moments that he got to rest he would close his eyes and think of her.

They weren't officially going out yet, they where how do you say on a waiting base, she says she can't handle a relationship with anyone while everyone is dying out there, she said she loved him but this love has to wait for with love there comes a blindness and with that blindness well it could easily get them killed.

Young love Dumbledore had told them, he had told him how nice it was to be in love, the pleasure in knowing someone thought of you in their spare time and also at any waning moment. But Dumbledore was no longer here to tell him that anymore....no, for the latest encounter with The Dark Lord came Dumbledores great and noble demise, he used a form of magic that was so powerful it saved the lives of the wizard and witches in the Order of the Phoenix.

Voldemort had formed a new and powerful magic that made the Avada Kadavera look like a simple Stupefying spell. Many wept for the great and old wizard and they praised his accomplishments, his bravery, and what he gave up for them...his life.

"Ah Harry, oh and Mrs. Granger I see, I suppose I am disturbing you to in your...eh *ahem* exploring."

Harry and Hermione bolted up and disentangled themselves apart, looking shocked and worried at what they should say to Dumbledore, well at least that was Hermion's reaction. Harry on the other hand beamed at Professor Dumbledore.

"No its okay professor, did you want to see me, or was it Hermione you where looking for?"

"Yes, yes Harry i need a word with you, and oh yes Ms. Granger I would like you to get Mr. R. Weasley in here please and await Harry and my return"

"Professor, I'm not in trouble or anything am I? Hermione and I that is, we promise never-"

"Harry, Harry calm down, Dumbledore came with a hearty laugh, of course you are in no immediate trouble that is i just wanted a word with you on how you are doing I've heard from Poppy that you haven't been experiencing any hurting scars and through some training the Dementors no longer have an effect on you as they did before am I correct?"

"Yah they don't anymore Professor, I no longer experience the things I did before"

"Very good Harry, very good. You see i was hoping to get around that little barrier, you are the few in this particular camp that can produce a full fledge Patronus and that is very needed at this-"

"Sir you aren't saying that Voldemort is planning to attack with his Dementor army here soon is he?"

Dumbledore gave a heavy sigh and looked over the hill that he and Harry stood, he looked at all those young lives that could be ended soon , from one attack, those little ones would be defenceless. He heaved another great sigh and looked into the Harry's eyes noting so much like Lily's

"Harry that is exactly what I am saying, you see the Dementors have been given a new assignment, and that is to attack Hogsmeade. And seeing that our little camp is standing right in the way of the attack we will have to evacuate all children in the next hour."

Harry felt the color drain from his face, the Dementors would be attacking soon very soon, too soon that even Dumbledore was worried about the saftey of the children, couldn't Dumbledore make a Patronus big enough to drive them all back?

"But yes Harry that wasn't the reason i brought you out to talk, the reason is how have you been? You and a paticular curly haired ms.?"

This time Harry really thought that Dumbledore had gone off his rocker, here it was a Dementor attack soon and he was worried how he Harry felt about his life at the moment? Maybe there was more to it that Harry wasn't seeing

"Its been well, eh confusing...haha Mione says she doesn't want a relationship at the moment even though she loves me, she thinks that love will blind us from our duty to the Order."

Dumbledore laughed heartily at the response that Harry gave

"Yes Ms. Granger is always one step ahead of the qudditch game is she not, you have to watch out for her or next thing you may know she could be passing you up on your studies at being an auror Mr. Potter, even in the Defence Against the Dark Arts area."

Harry blushed a deep red color, knowing fully that he had been slipping on his studies to become a licensed and qualified auror, during his studies his mind has been wandering off to other things, and almost as if Dumbledore can read minds the great wizards face came inches from Harry's with a great big smile.

"Yes, I know Harry, that girl has been on your mind for far too long."

"Professor...I...I promise I won't drift off on my studies-"

"Dear me Mr. Potter I was not interrogating you on the subject. I was just merely answering a simple question to your simple answer"

Harry thought to himself, Oh man Dumbeldore can really read minds I knew it, I knew it!

"Harry don' be quite so foolish is there was a magic that could read you every thoughts without you feeling a sense of probing in your...well privacy then my I shall put my Chocolate Frog Card on stake to it" Dumbledore laughing whole heartedly."

Harry smiled a sheepish grin, "Sorry Professor, its just that...just that-"

Harry was at a lost for words it was just that everyone that was ever close to Dumbledore could read minds on more then one occasion. He didn't know what to tell him next, should he say...what should he say?

"Mr. Potter there is no need for an explanation, Dumbledore replied with a slight chuckle, I understand, I understand."

"Yes Professor," Harry replied with a smile.

"Now back to you and Mrs. Granger, how far along the road have you two gotten along?"

"Alo..Alon...Along the road sir?"

"Come now Harry, remember I can read minds," Dumbledores eyes had a twinkle in them.

"Sir...I...I...," Harry blushed a deep not knowing what to say...this wasn't like a matter to discuss with someone he had seen as a Grandfather figure.

"Just remember Harry, just remember this, and it will be the greatest weapon that you shall ever posses, the greatest spells of all spells...the key to the most powerful magic that Voldemort can never possible ever understand...love."

"Love? Professor.... I don`t want to seem rude but umm....what am I suppose to do? Make out with Hermione in front of him?"

Dumbledore let out a tremendous roar of laughter, "My, my Harry you have that tad bit of innocence still in you I see. No Harry I do not think that would help you on defeating Voldemort, you shall find out your answer soon enough... soon enough.. But Harry you ought to remember this paticular quote -Life is like a book, some choose the path to have it already written...yet others defy destiny and fill in their own marks-"

Memory Closed

That was the last conversation he had with the greatest and noblest of all Wizards...Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard that have ever honoured the earth by merely having him step upon its thresholds. Not he Harry Potter The-Boy-Who-Lived, not he the boy that was saved countless times by Dumbledore, no not he, not he.
