Harry woke up confused and disoriented. It took him a second to figure out why he was sweating and had tears running freely down his cheeks. Then it hit him like a cannonball. Remus was dead! When Harry was able to finally process that thought a loud scream escaped him.

The scream woke Ron who was asleep in the bed next to him. Neville, Dean and Seamus also woke up to be meet by the sight of Harry Potter shacking and rocking back and forth in his bed with tear tracks in his cheeks.

"Harry, Harry what's wrong?" Ron asked at once getting up from his bed and going to be next to his best friend.

Harry did not reply, he merely kept on crying.

"Neville, go get McGonagall. Dean, go look for a wet towel, and Seamus go wake Hermione, Aria and Elsmere." Ron instructed taking charge of the situation. The other sixth year Gryffindor boys set out to do as they were told at once. The first one to come back was Dean who had only gone into the bathroom. Ron took the moist towel from Dean and placed it in Harry's forehead. Harry calmed down a little, but was still shacking. Next came Seamus with the two teenage Vampires and the bushy-haired girl.

"What the hell happening here?" Aria asked once she had gotten a good look at Harry.

"I don't know. He woke us up with a scream and we found him like this." Ron replied in a rush.

"Oh, Harry." Hermione, who had tears in her eyes from just looking at her best friend said before walking over to his bed, sitting by his side and hugging him to her.

"Harry, Harry can you hear me?" Elsmere asked softly.

Harry gave a small, almost unnoticeable nod of his head before burrowing his head into Hermione's hair. Hermione, trying to calm her best friend down, was rubbing circles into his back.

"Harry, can you tell us what happened?" Elsmere asked the distressed boy.

Harry just shook his head and moved even closer to Hermione. Elsmere sighed. She went over to the bed and also took a seat. The only ones who were left standing up were Aria and the two Gryffindor boys, Neville had not come back yet.

"Harry, was it a vision?" Aria asked. Harry nodded his head but still wouldn't speak. "Is that why you are shacking Harry, did the protection I gave you fail?" once again Harry nodded and Aria sighed. The protection Aria gave Harry was not supposed to break. If this was any indication, Harry's connection with Voldemort was getting stronger. "Harry, can you please look at me?" Harry shook his head. Aria had had enough, she was not a patient girl to begin with, and when she was nervous her patience was even thinner. She walked purposely over toward the bed and grabbed Harry's chin from somewhere in Hermione's bushy hair. Turning him to face her she was meet by a pair off puffy green eyes and a tear stained face.

"Harry, Mr. Potter, what happened?" McGonagall, who had just entered the dorm asked. "Ms. Granger, Mss. De Acinorev, what are you doing here? This is the boys' dorm." She scowled.

"Professor, with all due respect I do not believe that is important right now, look at Harry." Hermione replied caring more about her friend than at being scolded.

McGonagall looked surprised for only a second before she came back to her senses and took control once again.

"Harry, headmaster's office now." She said. Aria helped Harry up. Together they left for the headmaster's office with Ron, Hermione, Elsmere and McGonagall right behind them.

"Minerva, what a pleasant surprise." Dumbledore said, it was obvious that he still had not seen Harry yet.

"Albus, this is not for pleasant things. Mr. Potter has apparently had another vision which has left him shaken." McGonagall said. The twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes dimmed significantly at hearing this news.

"Harry, my boy, what happened?" the headmaster asked the distressed boy who was being supported by Aria and Ron. Harry did not respond. Aria sighed and took Harry's chin once again in her hand making him look at her.

"Harry Jams Potter, you better snap out of it right now!" she said in her deadly quiet voice. Harry snapped out of it at once, he knew enough to know never to contradict the Vampire when she used that tone of voice. "Harry, what was the vision about?"

"V... V… Voldemort." Harry responded.

"Obviously Harry, we know it was Voldemort, but specifics please." Aria replied.

"V… Voldemort had… had… Remus." At this point Harry's voice shook and he started crying once again. Hermione started rubbing circles into his back once again and whispering in his ear. After three minutes of silence in which Dumbledore looked his hundred and fifty something years of age, McGonagall had gone pasty white and the teenagers had a look of horror on their faces, Harry was able to continue speaking. "He… he tortured him and then… then he killed him. Oh God, Remus is dead." Harry said once again crying.

"Harry, my boy, I am sorry that you had to see that." Dumbledore said. "Harry, did you once again feel the curses?"

"Y… yes." Harry responded. Dumbledore sighed before standing up and going to his cupboard and pulling out two vials filled with potions. "Here Harry, the first one is a pain reliever potion and the second is a claming draught."

Harry took the two offered vials and swallowed them without even grimacing at the taste. At once his shacking subdued a little and a sense of calm came over him.

"Now Harry I have to call an order meeting, do you wish to stay for it?" Dumbledore asked the boy. Harry was a little surprised that he was being asked to attend the meeting but accepted anyway. "Now, I know that you lot will also be finding out about what will be tacking place in the meeting one way or another so you are also welcome to attend."

The rest of the students nodded at once, well Aria, Elsmere and Ron nodded, Hermione was crying silently with Harry in the corner.

"Minerva, will you please call the Order?" Dumbledore asked his deputy headmistress. McGonagall wiped a few tears out of her eyes and left the office to go inform the rest of the Order about the meeting.

By the time the members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived to Dumbledore's office Harry had calmed down enough to be of used. He still had a pained look in his eyes and was shacking slightly but he was coherent and had a determined aura about him.

The first one to enter the office was Snape, wearing his usual sneer and glaring at anyone.

"Play tell Albus, why you choose to have a meeting in the middle of the night when there is work to be done tomorrow?" Snape asked, apparently he was not happy at being woken up during his 'beauty' sleep.

"Severus, I assure you, I would not have called this meeting if it was not of the outmost importance." Dumbledore replied. Just when Snape was about to question the headmaster more about the matter the office's door opened once again and in walked Antonio with two of his Vampire guards/soldiers. When he spotted his daughter and niece amongst the present he grew suspicious.

"What have you done now?" he asked the two Vampire girls.

"Antonio, do not worry, they are in no trouble, and they are here because I have invited them." Dumbledore replied before Aria could say anything.

"Very well." Antonio said before taking a seat with his two guards standing next to him.

Next entered Tonks with Moody and Kringsley along with a few other members Harry did not know. Slowly the office started to become crowded, they were about thirty people gathered in the small space after all. Finally The Weasleys, minus Percy and Ginny, entered with McGonagall.

When Mrs. Weasley saw her youngest child she exclaimed at once. "Ronald, out!"

"Molly, calm down, the children are here because I have giving them permission to assist this meeting." Dumbledore tried to calm the protective mother.

"Dumbledore, you can not be serious. They are too young." Molly responded.

"Mrs. Weasley," Harry said before Dumbledore had even opened his mouth to respond, "How can you tell me, any of us here are too young?" Harry said motioning at the assembled kids, he continued before Mrs. Weasley could answer. "My friends and I have faced and had to overcome more burdens than even more than half of you have not. I have faced Voldemort five times in my sixteen years of life. Every single time I have had Ron and/or Hermione by my side. Together we have faced deathly obstacle curses, a basilisk; thanks to both of them I was able to make it all the way through the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Lat year we all went to The Department of Mysteries in the Ministry. We fought a dozen Death Eaters. Aria and Elsmere have been shunned by the whole world. Today they are still feared and they are here only because I convinced the headmaster to allow them the chance to have a proper education. Throughout all this experiences we have all matured. We have all seen death, we have all seen suffering, and we have all seen war. Do not tell me we are too young when I have to suffer throughout the nights getting hit with Cruciatus because of a damned scar that the bloody Dark Lord gave me at the age of one. My friends are my anchor; thanks to them I am sane. Do not tell me we are too young." At the end of his speech Harry was crying, so was Hermione who was being comforted by a close to tears Ron Weasley. Aria and Elsmere were both looking at him with something akin to pride in their eyes. The headmaster was looking at him with pride and Mrs. Weasley and Tonks had silent tears running down their cheeks.

"You are right Harry, sorry, you are not too young to be here." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Very well, now that that is settled, the reason for our meeting." Dumbledore continued. The order visible tensed at those words. It was obvious to them that what ever the headmaster had to tell them was not good news. "I regret to inform you that one of our members has been captured and killed." The order gasped in shook before frantically looking around to see who was missing.

"But surely Albus the only one missing is Re-" suddenly comprehension came to the assembled group of wizards.

"No, no Albus, Remus is with the werewolves. He was recruiting them. You sent him to recruit the werewolves. He is not dead. It is a mistake." Tonks said in a near hysterical voice.

"Nymphadora," Tonks was so distressed that she did not even notice the use of her first name. "I am sorry, but he was found and sent directly to Voldemort."

"No, no, how do you know?" she said looking directly at Snape.

"Ii was most certainly not me." Snape responded in his cold voice.

"No, it was not Snape. It was me." Harry spoke quietly but everyone in the office heard anyway.

"What?" "How?" echoed throughout the whole office.

"A vision." Harry said simply. "Voldemort waited until he knew I was there before bringing him in. Voldemort gave Remus the chance to join him and save his own life, but Remus refused and did not give in. after he killed him Voldemort spoke to me. He knew I was there so he just spoke knowing I had no choice but to listen. He said happy Halloween." Harry said with tears once again in his eyes. The whole order was speechless. They had all heard about Harry's visions of course, but it was surreal to listen to the young man recounting one. They knew what looking at a love one being tortured and killed would drive almost anyone insane, but in front of their eyes there stood Harry Potter, who did not look insane, instead he had a determined look in his eyes.

Harry Potter stood with his best friends by his side. Remus' burial had just passed. The majority of the Order had already left. Only the Weasleys, Tonks and Harry and his friends remained. Tonks was crying silently. Not long after the Order had left Dumbledore's office after the meeting Tonks had confessed to the teenagers the growing relationship between her and Remus.

Harry walked alone toward Remus' tombstone. He knelt before the stone and whispered.

"I promise you Remus that I will train with all my might. I will be ready, for when I meet Voldemort he will regret the day he messed with my family, with the ones I love. I promise you that your sacrifice was not in vain."

With those parting words Harry rose up and turned his back to the stone marked.

"Remus John Lupin

1960-1996

Beloved friend

Marauder for ever

May you find peace and harmony"

Authors' Note- okay, were to start. My reason for killing Remus, yes I do have a reason. Remus was the last link that Harry had toward his father and mother. He was his only 'father figure' left for him. I needed for something that would push Harry to the very edge, something that would give him that final motivation needed to actually kill Voldemort. Somebody really close to Harry had to die in able to accomplish that, and seeing as Hermione and Ron were in Hogwarts at the time that left Remus.

Sorry if you were expecting something better for my reasons, but that is why I did it.

I have discovered that I actually like being evil once in a while. I have to admit that I had a lot of trouble writing this chapter. I am really not good at this tragic things. Seeing as this is my first multi-chaptered story, I am still learning, so please excuse for my poor attempt at tragedy.

Love all your reviews!!! Please review!!!!
