Alright I have been working really hard on this chapter and all the extra stuff I had to do for it. I have been planning this for a while and really hope it comes out the way it came out in my head.

I do not own

After they had walked back up to the DADA classroom, gathered there books and were just about to leave Percy motioned for Harry to see him up at his desk. Ron shot Percy an alarmed look, to which Percy shook his head. He nodded, and still looking wary backed out of the room, leaving Harry in there alone with Percy. Harry squirmed a little under Percy's intense gaze. Percy placed both hands on his desk and then he spoke.

" Harry I understand that you lost your parents at a very young age, am I correct?" at this Harry just nodded.

" and even more recently your godfather, Sirius Black." Here Harry nodded again.

" Harry I am sure you remember Nico, correct." He gestured with his hands to the shadows behind him, there a small fourteen year old boy stepped out of them. Harry just stared at him. There was a small inkling in his mind were this could be leading but he didn't want to acknowledge it for fear of disappointment. Percy spoke.

" Harry after much discussion Nico has agreed to let you speak to your dead loved ones. He-" here Percy was cut off as Nico spoke.

" you will tell no one that I am doing this, I will do this for no one else. I am only doing this for you because your situation is quite like my own, no other reason. Do I make myself clear." Harry hadn't ever though that a fourteen year old could ever make him this scared, but right now there was fear curling in his stomach. But he couldn't stop the feeling of joy that permeated his brain. He didn't trust himself to speak. So he merely nodded once more. Satisfied Nico stepped back into the shadows.

"meet us on the outskirts of the forbidden forest at one 'o'clock tonight. Bring no one." Then harry could no longer hold in the questions he had. Long ago had he given up the dream of Sirius or his parents ever being ghosts, but here was a chance. Quickly he spoke.

"coul-could this be made permanent?" Percy gave him a sad look but Nico just glared and said.

" no." With those parting words Percy shooed Harry out of his classroom.

Meanwhile….

Ron quickly raced to the fifth corridor In the left wing, where the half bloods were all staying. They had wanted to use the room of requirement but for some reason it had been closed a lot. So Dumbledore had closed off a corridor for sleeping quarters for the half bloods and visiting Weasley's. it was time for their big meeting, this was when all the blessed wizard assembled. There were, of course the ones that he knew, such as his family, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Draco, and sometimes Dean Tomas, whose great-great-great-great grandmother had been blessed by Apollo. And then there were the people he met because of this. A fourth year Ravenclaw girl named Rebecca, a whole load of Slytherins, a handful of Hufflepuffs, and several Gryfindors. All of the half bloods had gathered on a small raised platform. The only one missing was Percy. The door in the back of the room creaked open and Percy walked in.

He stepped up onto the platform and looked grimly down at the rest of us.

" there has been a new revelation. I am not sure if all of you are aware, but I believe Sybil Trelawney has made a prophesy concerning young Mr. potter, am I correct?" here Ron and Hermione nodded.

"well earlier this morning Rachel started having a small fit. She began to speak a prophecy. Now bear in mind that this is not her normal way of speaking a prophecy. What she spoke I believe some of you will recognize.

The one with the power to defeat the dark lord comes near

His choice in the battle all will soon hear

Born to those who wield great power

He will save all in the final hour

And the dark lord shall know him as his downfall

But warning the soul shall enthrall

And he will have power that the dark lord knows not

He will have to use all he has been taught

And either must die at the hands of the other

All will rest on the love of the mother

The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord will be born as the seventh month dies

He will stand for what is right and will face the growing lies"

Silence permeated the room. Everyone stared in stunned silence at Percy. Then Hermione blurted out.

" that isn't the prophecy that was made about Harry. Yes, some themes are the same but the wording is very different and there are several extra lines. Why?" Percy shook his head fondly and muttered something about Athena.

" that is because the wizarding power of prophecy is severely diluted and shattered. Your kind is simply not capable of handling the power, and possible insanity." At that Hermione caught her breath and shot a look at Rachel. Insanity. After a quick debrief on the orders of the gods, everyone departed to their common rooms.

Later that night….

Very slowly Harry made his way out of the common room. He had donned the invisibility cloak and was holding the marauders map very close to his face. He easily made it out of the castle, despite their fortified barriers, by using a small shortcut. He hastened down to the edge of the forest near Hagrid's hut and waited. Several minutes later he jumped when a cool silky voice slid out from the shadows behind him. A small white hand landed on his invisible arm. Harry barely had the time to wonder how Nico could see him before he was pulled roughly into the shadows.

He walked alongside Nico for most of the way until they came upon a large squarish hole dug into the ground. There were several cans of some drink called coke that he was vaguely familiar with. There were also several platters of chicken and pork. Nico motioned for Harry to stay back and walked up to the pit. He grabbed the six-pack of coke and opened them all at once. He leaned over the pit and said.

" let the dead drink again." Then he grabbed the platters of food and threw them into the pit and said.

" let them eat again. Let them rise and serve there master." Harry stumbled back several steps as the hole began to froth and smoke. Nico then began chanting words that he didn't understand and the smoke formed and twisted. Harry only realized that they were ghosts after the faces took shape. There were thousands. Nico then stepped forward and stopped chanting. He pulled out a dark sword and held it up. Harry could feel the cold coming off of it.

Or maybe that was just him. He was shivering, but in cold or anxiety he didn't know. There was a sick feeling in his stomach and the hands holding the marauders map by his side were shaking. Then Nico said in a carrying voice.

" I command the ghosts of Lily Potter, James Potter, and Sirius Black to come forth." It was those words that cemented this for Harry. Three spirits stepped forward. All the others stepped back. He recognized all of them. There was Sirius, the haunted look was gone from his eyes and he looked like the picture of him as his Dad's best man. Then there was James and Lily. Their eyes roamed his face, greedily hungrily. Harry knew that he was doing the same. Then Lily- mum sobbed. That was it. That was his breaking point. He lurched forward to embrace his parent for the first time, only to find that there essence evaporated upon contact.

Harry wanted to cry. He wanted to break down and sob. But he had to capitalize this moment. He might never speak to his mum and dad again. But before he could say anything Lily spoke.

" Harry, my little baby we are so proud, and we love you so much. Never forget that. We love you." Harry swallowed thickly. He could feel his eyes stinging with tears.

" I love you to….. mum" smoky tears rolled down her misty form. Then James stepped forward.

"Harry I want you to know something. Your life is going to be hard. I wish with all my heart it didn't have to be, but I am dead. You're going to have to make some hard choices in your life, and I wish I could just make them for you. In fact I wish that you never had to have any part in this. But you do and that's not going to change anytime soon. Just know that I will always be there, watching you, ready to help on any way possible. Harry I love you." Harry could feel the tears welling up in his eyes. But he refused to cry. Then came the final blow. Sirius.

" Harry I am sorry. I'm sorry that I left you like I did. But you have to know that my death was not your fault. No matter what you tell yourself. And I want you to know that if I had seen what you saw I would have done the exact same thing. Please Harry, you were like a son to me, I need you to forget my death and move on. Harry, I love you more than anything in the world. Just move on. You need to move on." Harry could do it no longer. He felt the tears roll down his face as he collapsed onto the forest floor. He could hear the soothing words of his family. He could almost feel the pats on the back. He knew that he had to be strong.

Harry stood up, wiped away his tears and then spoke to the ethereal figures.

" mum, I love you, so much. Dad, I can do this, I love you. Sirius, thank you, for being there, I love you." Then he turned and nodded at Nico, who frankly looked exhausted, and he sighed in relief and waved his hand and the spirits departed. All Harry wanted to do was curl up on the forest floor and cry, but he couldn't. he had responsibilities now. He always had. He couldn't afford to break now. He walked over to nico and pulled one arm over his shoulder. They hobbled out of the forest like that.

At the edge of the forest stood Percy. He was twitching and just moving around. The minute he saw Harry and Nico he ran over. When he saw Nico's condition. He grasped his forearm and pulled Nico up into a bridal-style carry. It was strange to see Nico nuzzle his head into Percy's neck and clench Percy's shirt in closed fists. But more so was how easy it was for Percy to pick up Nico. He knew that Percy was strong, muscles like that don't lie. But Nico must have been very light. It was weird, seeing him like this, he was so used to the threatening teen in the shadows. Somehow this made him seem more human, and not just a magical being who could raise the dead. Percy raised his head and met Harry's eyes. He said.

" Harry tomorrow would you do use all a favor and come to the private lessons that I have with Ron, we have some things to discuss." And Harry just nodded.

He didn't remember how he got up to his dorm. All he knew was that his dreams were filled with his parents. And, for the first time in a long time, he woke up happy.

Phew! This took me forever to write. Mostly on account of the parents scene. I just couldn't figure it out. So I'm trying to keep you interested here, is it working? Do you want to know what Percy will Tell harry? Will it be the whole truth, orrrrr not. And what is up with that new prophecy? I want you all to go up there and find it again and analyze it. Those of you who can catch it will see why I made specific changes. By the way. I sat there for a half an hour with a rhyming dictionary( yes they do exist) and my book five, trying to figure out the rhyme scheme. It was so hard. I hope you all appreciate the effort I put into this story. I expect a lot of reviews for this so you better not disappoint. REVIEW! Totallyawesome out.
