Chapter One

Things had been different that summer. Sirius had been away most of the time because of his post as Head Auror. Remus had taken a leave of absence in September to return to his position as defence professor but still on call by the ministry.

Before school had started, Sirius and Remus had sat Harry down and explained the prophecy. He'd been thoroughly shocked but had taken it well. He understood the task awaiting him.

The Order of the Phoenix had been reformed after the fourth task. Sirius and Remus had explained the order to Harry. He wasn't allowed to attend the meeting but his guardians kept him informed of what happened in the meetings.

Dumbledore had decided that Harry should learn Occulmency to be able to block his mind with Voldemort back. Professor Snape had been chosen to teach Harry Occulmency. Harry knew the lessons would not be enjoyable but he resolved to attempt to learn.

Hermoine and Ron had been chosen as Gryffindor prefects. Dumbledore had explained he felt Harry would be too busy. After hearing that Harry's mood improved dramatically.
