Disclaimer: I do not own any part of harry potter besides all of the merchandise that resides in my room.
A/N: hey im back after completing my first fic and now im going to attempt at doing Harry's sixth year all suggestions are welcome and I might use them. I'm so excited I'm doing my second fic!! I hope I get some reviews or feedback on this, heck ill even welcome flames lol. I would like to thank my special friend elise who helped me decide harry's O.W.L results on my school bus lol, elise writes on ffnet so you should all go read her stories, her name is NovaWings and she writes lots of stuff but sadly no hp stuff…yet….maybe ill get her to, shes a great writer. Okay now on with the story…I don't know how good this will turn out.
Ch1—Owls and O.W.L.'s
He ducked a jet of bright red light laughing. "Come on you can do better than that!" he bellowed, his voice echoing around the cavernous room. Suddenly a second jet of bright red light hit him squarely on the chest, the laughter had not quite died from his face but his eyes widened in shock. It seemed to take him ages to fall, his body curved into a graceful arc as he sank backwards through the ragged veil hanging from the arch……
Harry sat bolt upright in his bed, he soaking wet from a cold sweat and panting. He had been having dreams like that all summer, all a little different yet all of them horrible. He put on his glasses looked at the clock and realized that he had been a year older for 2 hours now. He opened his window to let a breeze in when he saw a silhouette of 3 owls coming for his window. He let the owls come in and sit on his bed as he sorted through his mail.
The first owl was from Remus Lupin. Harry opened the letter and read
Dear Harry,
I hope you are doing well and having a nice birthday. I thought that you would like to have this for your birthday; he would have probably thought it to be right. Also, I thank you for sending a reply every three days like asked, Moody would have been even more unbearable if you didn't. I can't wait until you hear about Dumbledore's good news. I can't say it here obviously because you can never be too careful. Also, I want to let you know if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here.
Take care and I'll be seeing you soon,
Remus
P.S.- when I see you I can uncharm your gift.
Harry looked at what was attached with it and saw it was a shrunken trunk that looked a lot like Sirius'. Sirius……..
Harry missed him so much just the thought of him gave him a lump in his throat. Harry had sent replies every three days as asked but they were very blunt just saying "I'm fine" and things along that line. The Dursley's hadn't treated him bad either, they either feared him or thought pity on him Harry really couldn't tell which.
The second owl was Pig and it had two letters and two packages, Hermione and Ron probably. The first letter read
Dear Harry
Hey mate! 'Mione and I are at headquarters and it's boring as hell. She keeps making me write my essays again and again saying I could to better. Can't wait till you come here too to save me from all the schoolwork. Happy Birthday and see you soon.
-Ron
P.S.- you can thank Fred and George for the gift
Inside was a box of all of Fred and Georges prank sweets from their new shop. There must have been fifty candies inside. Harry then grabbed the next letter.
Dear Harry,
Oh I hope you are doing well and I can't wait until you get here! Since you love Defense Against the Dark Arts so much I thought you would enjoy this gift. When I see you we'll have to compare O.W.L. results.
Take care,
Hermione
Hermione had given him a book which was titled "Advanced Dark Arts". Harry skimmed through the pages and saw a lot of spells that looked pretty interesting.
Harry then took the last owls things and saw it was all from Hogwarts. He opened the first letter and read,
Dear Mr. Potter,
Here are your results of last year's O.W.L. exams:
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Outstanding
Potions: Exceeds Expectations
Transfiguration: Outstanding
Herbology: Exceeds Expectations
Care Of Magical Creatures: Outstanding
History Of Magic: Acceptable
Divination: Poor
Astronomy: Poor
Congratulations you have received 6 O.W.L.'s. Here are your suggested classes for next year:
N.E.W.T. Prep Defense Against The Dark Arts
N.E.W.T. Prep Transfigurations
N.E.W.T. Prep Herbology
N.E.W.T. Care Of Magical Creatures
Harry looked at his results and realized that he didn't get high enough results in Potions to become and auror. But now that he thought about it, he didn't know if he would even be alive to become one, since the prophesy claimed only he could defeat Lord Voldemort. That was one burden that was heavy on Harry's shoulders all summer. Harry then noticed he still had one more letter from Hogwarts. He opened it and read
Dear Harry,
Professor McGonagall told me on your wishes to become an auror and I noticed you did not score high enough to be in Professor Snape's class. After much thinking and talking with Professor Snape, we have decided he will tutor you privately in Potions and also continue Occlumency. I know that you and Professor Snape do not get along the greatest but I trust you will put aside your differences and work together, all of this is crucial for the fight against Voldemort. Also Remus Lupin will be coming to Hogwarts along with Mad Eye Moody once a week and will give you some training that will help with your magical abilities. I hope you are well and tomorrow at noon some people will be there to pick you up and take you to headquarters.
Take care,
Professor Albus Dumbledore
Harry read the letter and accepted all of Dumbledore's request, what was the point of arguing anymore. He knew the rest of his life he would just be bossed around. This whole summer Harry just felt hopeless, he was never happy anymore, he had fallen into a depression and didn't even care.
He yawned and then went to sleep praying for no more nightmares.
