Prologue

Disclaimers: Harry Potter, its characters, spells, etc, is not mine. But the plot of this fic is.

Hehe^^

Author's note: this is my first Harry Potter fic so please inform me if there are any minor or major mistakes within it. R&r's are greatly appreciated. Oh and this will be a slash fic eventually. So anyone who can't handle Draco and Harry together, don't flame me, just leave

Harry adjusted his glasses and closed the book he was reading. He looked at his wristwatch and sighed with a thought in his head, 'He's late again.'

"Getting impatient Harry?"

The Boy-Who-Lived looked up as he heard the very familiar voice, a genuine smile gracing his lips. "Sirius!" he exclaimed, rising to his feet and embracing his godfather.

"Nice to see you too Harry," said Sirius, also with a smile on his face and ruffled Harry's hair.

Sirius took the liberty of sitting on one of the chairs present in his godson's room as his eyes scanned Harry's room. "I trust that these Muggles are treating you well?"

"Better than before I guess," replied Harry, sitting on his bed. Then, changing the subject, he asked, "You really Apparated here?"

"You wouldn't want the Muggles around here pointing and screaming at a robed figure riding either a broomstick or a creature in the evening sky, would you?" Sirius asked.

Harry nodded his head vigorously. "I'm sorry, but I was kinda doubting that you would really show up here, assuming that those people going after you might be able to track you down if you Apparated."

"They might be able to Harry," replied Sirius. "That's why I won't be able to stay here long."

"I understand that Sirius. Beside you said in your letter that you'll come here to give a very important warning."

"Yes Harry. It comes as no surprise to you that Voldemort has been steadily rising to power ever since your fourth year at Hogwarts ended. And, since this is already your sixth year at Hogwarts, I fear that he might decide to hunt you down this year and end this once and for all. Two years might just be more than enough time for him to regain his strength."

"I think I've meddled in his plans ever since I was a baby," Harry replied wearily. "But I think I am more than ready to face him this year. This has gone on for too long and a lot of people have suffered because he was allowed to live."

Sirius was amazed to hear his godson speak this way. Although Harry was able to survive Voldemort on more occasions than one, he thought that Harry might be a little bit fearful of the dark lord's power. But it seemed as though his godson had more luck than any wizard alive.

And these experiences, LUCKY experiences at that, had somehow made Harry stronger, definitely stronger and braver than Sirius could have imagined him to ever become before leaving the grounds of Hogwarts.

But, being brave also had its consequences. Harry is a Gryffindor, possessing traits that his late parents also possessed. And, like the Marauders, Hermione and Ron would never leave him to face danger all by himself. They would go in and face danger without permission or supervision from older and more powerful wizards. And it was this that worried Sirius a whole lot.

Harry noticed the faraway look on Sirius' face. He always had that look when he was worried or thinking about something. And since the topic was about Voldemort hunting him down in school, he could very well guess what was going on inside his godfather's head right now.

So he smiled up at him and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't go into any danger without informing Prof. Dumbledore first."

That seemed to calm his godfather down. "I think I've stayed here long enough Harry," he finally said, standing up and pulling out his wand from his robe.

"Leaving so soon?" Harry asked, his disappointed face poorly masked. "When will I see you again?"

"I'm really sorry Harry, but I must leave for security reasons, both yours and mine." He then ruffled Harry's already ruffled hair, "Don't worry. We might meet again, sooner than you think."

And with that, he Disapparated, leaving Harry alone once again.
