RECAP: Fred and George record the Howler Harry sent Molly so they can send it to the Daily Prophet. Harry receives his OWL scores, and faints. Death laughed. Askook sets off to find the wolf (Remus). Dumbledore has never heard of Murphy's Law. Murphy doesn't like this. And Harry still has six letters to go through.

"This" is living people talking and
'This' is Harry's new guest's talking and Harry and other people thinking
"This," is Parseltongue.

Death, Fate, Destiny, and Prophecy - Chapter 9
Harry opened his eyes to see Remus staring at him in concern.
"Wha happened?" he asked.
"You fainted," Remus said. Suddenly the memories came flooding to him.
"Remus! Did you see my OWL scores yet?" he asked.
"No. Why?" Remus said, as he looked the scores over. And do you know what happened. Yep, he fainted. Happens a lot in this story. Will continue to happen a lot in this story, cause the authoress finds it funny. Anyways…back to the story.
"Moony!" Harry whined, "Wake up! Dammit!"
'What have I told you about using words like that?' Lily scolded him.
'Sorry mum.' Harry decided to wait for Remus to wake up by reading the rest of his letters. He opened Neville's first.
Harry,
Hey. I heard what happened at Gringotts…okay, I take that back. I saw what happened at Gringotts. Being able to blend in with people so no one will notice me is an ability I picked up. I think Ron and Hermione are being stupid. Gran told me not to trust Dumbledore to begin with. I'm just writing to let you know that I'm with you.
Neville
Harry chuckled…so that's how Neville always knew so much about what was going on. Moody's letter was next.
Potter,
Nice job getting away from Dumbledore. Remember, CONSTANT VIGILANCE.
Didn't even sign it, ah well. That's Moody for ya. Short and to the point. He had four letters left. Unable to decide which one he wanted to read next, he used Eeny Meeny Miny Mo to decide. Snape's letter.
Potter,
Congratulations on your special ability to constantly piss Dumbledore off. As much as I hate to say it, I envy your ability. Your ability, not you. He has the order out searching for you and Remus. If you send any letters to Hermione, Ron, or Ginny they have been ordered to pass the letters on to Dumbledore. Ms. Weasley's reaction was…interesting to say the least. I've never met anyone with the guts to smack Dumbledore before she came along. Gryffindor might just be getting points this year. Stay in hiding until the school year. Oh, and Dumbledore mentioned something about sending you a letter with a tracking charm on it. Don't open anything from him until Lupin checks it.
Try not to get yourself killed,
Severus Snape
"I'm tempted to tell him, bite me, but I don't think it would go over well," Harry said.
'No it wouldn't,' Orion agreed.
"Wha happened," Remus asked, as he woke up.
"You fainted," Harry said.
'Déjà vu, anyone?' James asked.
"So are you willing to accept me as an apprentice?" Harry asked.
"You want me to do it?" Remus asked, "Why not Moody?"
"Because I don't know him as well as you," Harry replied, "And you already know about the voices in my head. God, that sounded so freakin' insane."
"Yes it did," Remus laughed, "And I would be honored to teach you."
"Alright," Harry said, pulling out a parchment, "What day should we let the representative come?"
"How about next Friday?" Remus said.
"That sounds good," Harry said, writing down the date, then signing the parchment along with Remus and sending it off with Hedwig.
"Oh, yeah," Harry said, showing him Dumbledore's letter, "Can you check this?"
"It's got some big tracking charms on it," Remus said, waving his wand over the letter.
"Can you break them?" Harry asked.
"They're too woven together. If I break one, I'll set the rest off," Remus replied.
"Oh well," Harry said, taking the letter from Remus and throwing it in the fire, "Two letters left."
Somewhere far away, Murphy laughed.
