Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Disclaimer for the Whole Story: If I own Harry Potter I'd be more worried about stalkers than fan fiction.

A.N I am hoping to get this story finished before the 16th of July but it's not likely.

I will beg you to go easy on me, for it's only my 1st fic.

On with the show………………………………..

Privet Drive was the most normal place that one could live, or so it was thought. Almost fifteen years ago that changed when a boy exactly one year and three months old. Now I know what you're thinking, how can a child change a neighbourhood? Well his child was Harry Potter; The Boy Who Lived famous to the wizarding world for his defeat of Lord Voldemort on Halloween night fifteen years previous.

Lord Voldemort is like Sadam Hussein in the wizarding word, lethal and nuclear. Now you might notice that I said 'is' not 'was' and that's because he rose again and Harry Potter was the soul witness. Just one month ago Harry lost, what he thinks was, 'the only father figure in his life'.

His godfather Sirius Black, innocent thought guilty escaped a wizard prison and came to Harry's school to protect him and this June risked his life to save Harry in the process getting him killed. Harry had blamed himself, but a little easier after his talk with Luna Lovegood. Luna was a fifth year Ravenclaw and they had met on the train to Hogwarts last September, she was also one of Ginny's friends. Ginny was Ron Weasley's little sister and Ron was one of Harry's best friends. The other was Hermione Granger. They were both in Harry's year and house at school.

After the train ride home, to Kings Cross Station, 'Mad Eye' Moody, an Auror and Arthur Weasley, father of; Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Charlie and Bill, had a chat about Harry's well being at Privet Drive. Since that little chat or rather threat the Dursleys had been a lot nicer, even if it was reluctantly.

Harry had gotten clothes that actually fitted him, rather than Dudley's old hand-me-downs and he had gotten new trainers. They had even started letting him off with chores and piling them on Dudley. Harry had gotten all of his homework done in the space of a week and now all he had to keep his mind off Sirius, was reading. He was learning more and more as he read on and on.

Sometimes he thought about things that had happened, like; his date with Cho Chang, a pretty Ravenclaw a year ahead of Harry, but after their date last year he found hat there is more to a person than personal appearance, this made Harry think of Luna, she wasn't overly pretty or sporty but she was a loyal friend and very smart. She also had similar experiences to Harry. Then he started to question why he had gone out with Cho.

Harry stared out his window at the raindrops on the pane coming together and making their way down the foggy glass. They all seemed to be pairing off, everything and everyone but him.

Ron and Hermione, though too stubborn to realise it had a thing for each other. Ginny and Neville had been going out for two weeks and had owled Harry to tell him. Harry had not noticed but Hedwig was tapping on the window for quite some now. Opening the window he let out a sigh, more letters from the order wanting to know how he was doing. Every reply was the same; All is fine here. Sweet, short and to the point. He undid the letters from Hedwig's leg and she hooted, perched herself on her cage and had a drink.

Harry opened the envelope and three pieces of parchment fell out other than the usual one. One was the standard letter; hello, how are you? Are you eating? How are you coping? The second letter was his Ordinary Wizarding Level results:

Dear Mr. Potter,

Congratulations on your results,

Harry couldn't believe his eyes! He could be an Auror! After celebrating he took a look at his last letter, it was from Luna.

Dear Harry,

Hello, this is Luna. I just thought I'd write to you and say hello and to tell you something I found out. A you've probably guessed I'm staying at the 'Bird Watcher's Club' and why you may ask? Because Daddy has been taken by Tom (better call him a name he hates) and I have no where else to go.

Now for what I found out: apparently you are coming over next week and when you do I can tell you what else I found out while no one noticed me in the kitchen. You might not notice me when you arrive as Ginny and Hermione have given me what they a 'makeover' and the results were surprising. Also if you want we can talk about things but its okay if you don't want to.

I can't wait to see you!

See you soon,

Hugs,

Luna.

So, she couldn't wait to see him? Well he couldn't wait to see what Ginny and Hermione had done to her. He hoped it was for the better. Harry got into his nightclothes and crept under his covers and within minutes he was emerged in the first good nights sleep since what seemed forever.

A.N well what do you think?
