three days later

4 Privet drive

harry sits at his window wondering when the others will be coming for him he had received and owl stating the Mr. Weasely will be arrive soon to escort him to important meeting with his godfather solicitors but no mention of is exactly when. Its stilled pain him to know that he would never see his godfather again but he also knew he now had a destiny and he would make Voldemort pay for what he did to his family and friends. The Order of the Phoenix had made it clear to the Dursleys that Harry was not to be mistreated so that meant he had a lot of time to think of part of Harry wished that would the Dursleys to bother him so he did not have to deal with all the thought running around in his head. Harry decides to not dwell too much and starts to attend to Hedwig's cage which has been slacking off much to the bird's dismay. Half way through his task another owls lands on his window sill harry wonder who it can be from hoping maybe Hermione or Ron have sent him a letter he quickly takes the envelope from the owl and his some what disappoint when he see the Hogwarts emblem on the parchment what he reads has Harry confused and concerned. The note reads as follows:

Dear Harry

I regret to inform you that summer will have to be cut short this year for there are matters that need your attention in both London and Hogwarts after you have fulled your obligations in London I looked forward to arrival .Mr.Lupin ,Mr.Moody and Ms.Tonks will arriving tonight please be prepared for your departure.

Sincerely ,

Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Harry reread the letter twice he to make sure he understood properly he looked at the time and decided to start to get ready he did not want to spend any more time with the Durselys the what was absolutely necessary wait did he not have to be here till his birthday so that the protection his mother gave him would still work he have to ask Lupin when he arrived . Harry gather his letters from Hermione and Ron he had received this summer and his various school supplies he cleaned and placed a new lining and Hedwig cage he straighten his bedroom twice in anticipation of his departure from the Dursleys . When harry has packed his trunk for the fourth time he heard a doorbell ring it was now late evening and knowing the Dursleys were not expecting anyone he wonder if could be Lupin and the others. The door bell rings without pause which causes his uncle to curse and rises from his position in front of the telly answer the door . "When i found out who is ringing that bell there will be hell to pay" Harry hears his uncle bellow from his perch at the top of the stairs. His uncle continues to rant as he approaches the door all of sudden his ranting cease " What are you freaks doing here" Harry hears his uncle say Harry spirits lift knowing that Lupin and the others had finally arrived. Harry runs down to greet with the sight of his uncle turning bright shade of red while Tonk and Moody harass him. "Hello Harry"greets

Lupin rather solemnly " have u gotten your trunk pack it it time to go " harry nodded went back upstairs to retrieve his trunk when he came back uncle was raging about harry and his friends and the better leave is house before got angry. Mad-Eye Moody did not take kindly to the threat and walk quietly over to Uncle Vernon. When the old aurora finally reaches his prey he leans over and whispers quietly in Vernon ear. The portly man expression is one of utter fear . Moody savors the look on the muggle face nods at the man and walks over to harry. Ready lad'' says smile at Harry replies yes and the quartet leave. Moody instructs Harry to put on invisibility cloak and mount his broom. Tonks takes off first her pink hair with harry behind her. The quartet travel through the sky a few hours later reach they reach their destination he was surprised but not to relieved to see the had arrive at diagon alley instead the Black residence where his godfather made his home not more than a fews months ago . Harry mentally reprimands himself for think of his grandfather he needs to concentrate on beating Voldemort not mourning for his godfather Moody tells Harry to not to take off his cloak until he has reached their room. Harry follows Moody and the others to the Leaky Cauldron. The groups makes it way to the upper floor without saying a word to the barkeeper once in the room. Harry takes offs his cloak and is about to ask what going but Lupin starts speaking before Harry can get a word out. " harry u are probably wonder why did not take you to the Burrows but u have to be present at Sirius reading tomorrow and Dumbledore will be taking you personally to Hogwarts by Floo Network. How was your summer so far Harry. "The Durselys seem to have gotten the Orders message and left me alone for the week that I was there. " Harry pauses and looks at Moody and Lupin . "Why was I there only a week I thought it had to be longer to reinforce the spell by mother made when she scarified her self for me. Moody looks away from young Potter not wanting the boy to see the tears that were threating to fall from his good eye and waits for Lupin's reply. Remus Lupin would like nothing more than to tell Harry that the week he stood at the Dursley's was enough but he know it is not the case the Order had a emergency meeting the night before to discuss the disturbance that had occurred at Hogwarts three nights ago. The Headmaster said it was no longer safe for Harry to be with his muggle relatives no matter what protection spell was in place for there was a new threat that had nothing to do with Voldemort. Lupin sighs at his inner musings and begins to tell the boy what Headmaster told him to say. " Harry with you being in Sirius will there might have a new home because Sirius was your Godfather and was the legal guardian your parents picked for you, depending on what the will says you may have a new guardian and home and with that the spell may be nullified." Harry gives a Lupin a questioning glance as to let him know that he did not believe him and continues to question him " Why not no.12 grimmauld place would I not be safer there instead of the leaky cauldron ?' Lupin shakes his head know this explanation is going to take longer than the he thought. Sirius was the secret keeper for the order and was the place belong to the black family if he did not will it to us or you it may go to his cousins Narcissa or Beatrix and would not want the Order's information to fall into the wrong hands. " Harry contemplates Lupin words and is happy not to go his godfather's residence it was hard enough knowing his godfather was not coming back without being reminded by the times he spent in his godfather's residence last summer. Lupin sees the look of despair on Harry face as the boy excuses himself and lays down one on the bed in the room seeming to fall asleep almost instantly. When Lupin finally is sure that Harry is asleep he casts a silencing charm and begins to talk to Moody about the last few days events. The two talk well into the night but sleeps find neither man the watch over Harry as he sleep knowing tomorrow will be a hard day and the knowledge that the days will only get worse for the boy did not make either man feel any better.

Lestrange Manor

Wales

same night

Twenty black robed figures sat at large dinning room table their masks in front of them. These were the Death Eaters Voldemort inner circle, some were escapees from azkraban other had always been free awaited on their master return while a few were new to the fight and had quickly gain the Dark Lords favor due to their love of cruelty and violence. The groups whispered amongst themselves as they await their master arrival . The Dark Lord did not keep the waiting no more than few minutes went by before Voldemort walk into the room his familiar Nagani slithering beside him. Voldemort sits at the head of the table. " I welcome you my faithful followers it has been awhile since I have called for a meeting of inner circle. I do not call you here just so you can bask in my glory I have heard some rather disturbing news from our spy at Hogwarts. The seer Sybill Trelawney has made another prophecy she has said that a new power is coming and that it is after the child of Merlin ." The Dark Lord fell silent waiting for his followers reactions. Bellatrix Lestrange was the first to respond.

"My Lord this good news is when can persade this power to our side and it would strengthen us." Voldemort smiles at Bellatrix looking as if he is pleased with her then with no warning he shouts "Crucio" Why do think I would want to share my power I called you here so you can search out this new threat and eliminate them. " There is utter silence when Voldemort finishes his outburst. "Leave now " Voldemort orders"Wait Bella ,my dear you will stay here I things I wish discuss with you " his voice taking on low seductive tone that Bella has come to love.. Bellatrix slowly gets up eager to follow her Lords orders even though he is the reason for her pain. No matter what Bella's master did to her she was always willing to please him she only wished he wanted more from her than her devotion to the cause; she always fancied the Dark Lord no matter what form he happen to be in, no man had the taste for destruction and pain like her lord even her own sadistic husband pales in comparison to her mighty lord's dark ways for that alone she would always be his no else seem to match her darkness. Bellatrix kneels in front her master awaiting his orders. Bella my dear you have been very naughty but do not have time to punish you. I have a mission for you I need you to torture a Weasley it has been a while since I have tried to get rid of Potter and I think he might think I am going soft I want that boy to know his end is near and a tortured Weasley is just the reminder he will understand. Now go my little darkling and make your meeting an interesting one ."
