The next days passed all too quickly for everyone. Soon the school classes started again and Harry, Ron and Hermionie were spending most of their time studying for their exams and grew more and more anxious realising how hard things would be. Harry had manage to keep his studying along with practicing occlumency and having the lessons with Snape. Those alone without his classes held most of his time and he didn't have much time to be with Ginny though they managed to spend most of their evenings before their curfew together. His mood was great though because occlumency was getting better and better every single day. He had stopped dreaming of the corridors and the closed doors and even the pain in his scar didn't happen all that often. The order had more meetings as well as the days passed. Dumbledore had found out something new and every other day they'd gather up and talk for hours. It was such a night that they had left Tonks and Charlie in charge at the tower to keep an eye at the kids that Ses went over to Eric's.

"Hey", he smiled sweetly at her gathering her in his arms.

"Hi... Are you done with homework and everything?", she asked smiling at him pointedly.

Eric looked at her suspiciously, "Yes... Wait! I know that face! What have you done?"

Ses rolled her eyes at that, "Nothing! I just thought we could go out to Hogsmead for a while. I mean we do have two hours before curfew! I'm tired of staying in!", she said that last part in her best whiny voice and puppydog eyes.

Eric smiled defeated at her, "Ok! We'll go out. Just wait a minute to let Dora know 'k?", he asked and Ses nodded smiling widely.

"Sure, Eric. Go!", Sesylia heard Tonks say and then she made her appearance at the door where Ses waited for her boyfriend. "Watcher Ses! You've let Sirius know, right?", she asked smiling.

Ses nodded and said quickly, too quickly, "Of course I have!"

When Tonks left them and while Eric closed the door behind him he asked her, "Why doesn't Sirius know, Sesylia?"

"What do you mean? I just told Tonks he knows!", Ses answered looking at him innocently.

"Oh come on! You've never lied to me before! Don't do it now!", Eric said looking at her a little annoyed. "What's going on?"

Ses looked at him apologetically, "Sirius said we could not go out tonight because he didn't know what time the meeting would end and he wanted to be sure we are home safe. But that's plainly stupid coz you and the Weaselys get to go out if you want! Anyways Tonks said it's ok so let's go!"

"You'll so get in trouble for this! Let''s go out tomorrow instead!", Eric said pleadingly. He hated when Ses was punished and didn't want her to get in trouble for something so stupid.

"I won't get in trouble Eric! When Siri sees i'm all right he won't mind. Anyhow we'll be back before he does so let's go!", she said again.

"Ok, but we'll be back by nine thirty, deal?", Eric compromised.

"Ok, ok!", Ses said and loughing loudly she dragged him down the stairs. Soon enough they were in Hogsmead and made their way for the 'broomsticks'. The night was cold and a hot mug of Rosmerta's famous chocolate would be more than great. Ses was absolutely restless. She had the all too known mischievous smile and was talking all the time enjoying their time away from home. Eric hadn't seen her so relaxed and happy in more than a month now and was really glad they finally did this. One hour and forty five minutes later though, when he told her they should be leaving, Ses didn't want to go. "Come on baby! In a quarter it's curfew! Why do you want to get punished for no reason? We had a good time now let's get back home!", Eric said trying hard to keep his temper down. He knew from the first moment she had no intention of going home early but he still had to try.

"No! Let's stay for another hour! Just till eleven? Please Eric!", Ses pleaded with him.

"No! Ses come on! We aggreed we'd go home by nine thirty. It's already nine forty five. Let's go. They'll get worried sick again and we're going to be dead by tomorrow morning!", Eric said now a little more loudly.

"Oh come on Eric! When did you become the big rule follower! Just one more hour! I promise!", she pleaded again.

"When did I became a big rule follower? Well, let me think... Was it when someone cared enough for me to give me rules to follow and consequences to fear, or when we realised that we all are in bloody mortal danger? Ok, Ses i'm tired of this. You want to stay out past curfew while your godfather didn't even want you out of the house today, fine! Go ahead. But i'm leaving. Last chance for you to follow!", he said exasperated.

"Whatever! Go ahead and leave! I don't care i'll stick around until whatever time I want! You go home like a little baby!", she said, her temper flaming instantly. All these months were anxious, hectic. She just needed a day to feel like a normal teen. Like she could go out and stay past curfew and not care so much.

"Fine! But I'm warning you, if you're not home by eleven I will tell Sirius and Remus to go find you. And you'd better not step a foot outside the 'broomsticks' alone! I think you have enough common sense to realise how bloody dangerous that would be! I hope you'll enjoy making us all worried sick of being out here alone, with all those enemies of us on the loose!", he said purely angry now and getting up he stormed out of the 'broomsticks' and headed back to Hogwarts. He hated leaving her alone, but he couldn't make Tonks all worried over him and he didn't want to violate their trust again. Fearing that something would happen to her though if she decided to leave the store, he casted an extensive alarm spell to the 'broomstick's' door and the two paths in front of it. If she'd go to the one that lead to Hogwarts it wouldn't do anything. If she'd take the other path he'd know and would immediately tell Remus.

When he went back home Tonks was the only one around. "Hey handsome!", she said pleasantly. "Had a good time?"

Eric just made his way towards his room before turning and answering her, "I have had better than this one. Anyways, Remus isn't back yet, is he?", he asked.

"No... Is something wrong?", she asked worried.

"No everything's fine. Is 'Mionie alone?", he asked back. When the purple-headed (today) witch nodded he made his way to his friend's room and knocked.

Hermionie had just stopped studying and was resting her head on a big book opened on the desk in front of her. Mumbling something unintelligible towards him she lifted her head slightly and let it fall back down with a low 'thud'. Eric chuckled at that and gently lifted her head and led it to rest on the cushioned back of her tall desk chair. "You know you are stressing too much with absolutely no reason, right?", he asked pleasantly. They all knew Hermionie. She'd study till she'd have a break down if Remus and Tonks didn't make her have breaks.

"Yeah! No reason at all! Just OWLs some weeks away!", she said her voice tired and sarcastic.

"Oh, get over yourself! You know better than anyone that you already know every single subject like the back of your hand. You'll probably get an honorary title or something for your grades!", he said evenly. Hermionie just groaned. Shaking his head he continued, "Anywayz, Ses will probably be in trouble."

That cought her attention and she immediately shot her eyes open, "What happened?"

"She didn't come back with me. She wanted to stay out longer. Past curfew and even more. We kinda had a fight over it and then I left because I didn't want to get in trouble, but I feel awful I left her alone. I charmed the area outside the store. If she leaves to come back home everything will be fine but if she leaves to get somewhere else an alarm will go off and we'll know.", he said.

"How did you do that?", Hermionie asked impressed.

"Extensive alarm charm", he answered flushing a little bit.

"I don't know Eric. Maybe we should tell now.", she said.

"No! She might get back home after all earlier and if Sirius isn't back yet he won't punish her, so why to tell on her? I warned her that if she was not back by eleven i'd tell though.", Eric answered.

"What time is it now?", Hermionie asked.

"Only ten past five..."

Twenty minutes later Harry and Allan came down to see if Ses was at Eric's. He and Hermionie filled them in and they all sat to wait for her telling Tonks they'd prefer to hang to their place till Sirius would return. Thirty minutes later Remus wasn't back yet which meant they still were at the meeting. Then a screeching sound echoed making all four of them jump from their sits.

"Damn it Sesylia!", Eric yelled slamming his fist on the desk.

An alarmed Tonks with her wand at the ready came running in the room as the alarm stopped, "What's going on?"

Taking a deep breath Eric looked at her and said, "We need to get Sirius. Sesylia is out at Hogsmead. She just left the 'broomsticks'."

"How do you...", a confused Tonks tried but Eric cut her off.

"I'll explain later, now they need to go find her!", he said trying not to yell.

Tonks didn't bother flooing. She took out her emergency two-way mirror that Remus had given her in case something happened to call him and yelled his name.

When his eyes appeared in the mirror she immediately told him what was going on. The last thing they heard was Sirius' terrified voice yelling "What?"

…..

After Eric left, Sesylia had stayed at the store sulking and drinking a butterbeer now. She was so mad at her boyfriend for leaving like that. She knew he was right but she just needed to take a break tonight. Not to care about Voldemort, or the order, or how worried everyone would get. She wanted a night out. And now she'd have it, even alone. Paying her bill half an hour later she left the store. She stood right out of the door for a while. Looking at the two small roads. One leading back home, where she should be, and the other to the rest of the village. Sighing loudly she took the second path and headed to the 'Silver Moon' pub. Walking towards there she felt pretty nervous. The night was calm. Too calm. No sound at all except from the light yet freezing wind that would swing some hanging sign at the closed and dark stores. The roads were totally empty, a weird thing for Hogsmead.

Soon enough she sighed with relief when she finally got to the pub and opening the door she rushed inside. Three stray customers that looked towards her suspiciously were the only ones in the store. The barman was looking pretty lifeless. Not the way she remembered him. He was a pretty funny and energetic guy, constantly talking and making fun. She moved to the bar where he turned and said with a voice cold and emotionless, "No underage wizards today. You have to leave."

Ses stared at him now a little afraid. Something was very wrong here, she thought. Very very wrong. She turned to leave and almost run to the exit. When she went outside she saw two figures a few metres away. Talking and looking around. Then they spotted her and run towards her. Ses let a high pitched squeal and drawing her wand she run away from them as fast as she could till one of the men spoke in a much too familiar voice that stopped her in her tracks, "Sesylia Lily Potter! You stop right there!"

Sesylia turned around slowly not sure if she was glad to have Sirius there or wanting the earth to open and swallow her. In a matter of seconds her godfather had her securely in his arms in a breathtaking hug. "You're ok! You're ok!", he said more to reassure himself than her. Sesylia didn't dare to speak. She knew that if she did it would snap her beloved godfather out of his worrying mood to the spanking one. Something she wasn't looking forward to. Burying her head in his robes she let him carry her in his arms like when she was four and they made their way to the other figure, who was no other than Remus. Sesylia glanced at him and saw him glaring at her sternly. He didn't say anything though. Just squeezed her hand like he needed to make sure that they really had found her.

None spoke until they got to the tower. There Remus turned to Sirius and asked him, "You need anything?"

Sirius shook his head, "Just let the others know i've got her. Thank you Moony..."
Remus nodded and squeezing his shoulder once he entered his apartment while Sirius with Ses still in his arms slowly made his way to their own. When inside he sat on the couch still holding her tightly. Still not talking. A second later Harry and Allan ran into the room and seeing their sister they sighed with relief.

"You're so dead!", Allan said glaring at her.

"I know...", she barely whispered.

"Go to bed boys. It's really late.", Sirius said his voice hoarse. The boys nodded and did as they were told. When the sound of two doors closing was heard Sirius slowly righted Sesylia on her feet. He stared in her eyes and simply said, "Never again. Do you hear me?". Ses nodded anxiously and stared at her feet. Then saying nothing more Sirius took her hand and gently guided her over his lap. Drawing his wand he bared her from the waist down. Still silent he raised his hand and brought it down hard on the girl's butt. Sesylia yelped loudly and grabbed a handful of fabric ftom her godfather's pants. Sirius landed five more smacks and paused. "Why?", he simply asked.

Ses squirmed uncomfortably at his question, but knew better than not to answer, "I just wanted a normal night... Without Voldemort, or the Order or anything..."

Sirius' hand raised again and fell another six times, harder than before making her try very hard not to yell out in pain. Then paused again, "I want a normal night too Sesylia. A night without worrying sick if someone will try to kill off my children. SMACK A night where I will have to worry only about your getting into some kind of trouble like detentions, or backtalking. SMACK A night that my last thought before I fall asleep will not be in how much danger my children are in. SMACK A night that I will fall asleep without worrying if the next one will still find us all alive.", he said. Ses broke into tears. She was so selfish tonight. Sirius' hand raised and fell again ten times hard, making her crying get even harder.

"I'm sorry!", she bowled.

Sirius paused again, "About what Sesylia?"

"About E...Everything.", she bowled again.

"I am too. But nothing in this situation is our fault, except our very own actions. You are not to apologise about everything, simply because you caused nothing of it. You are, though, to apologise for adding to everyone's worries just for a fun night out. You are to apologise for defying me yet again on something so crucial as your safety. Do you understand?", he asked, adding a hard smack every now and then.

"Yes sir! I'm sorry for tonight! I really am!", Ses cried out between her sobs.

Sirius nodded. Putting his right knee a little higher and lowering his left he brought her butt in the most vulnerable spot and started landing hard and quick smacks turning her butt from pink to the desired well punished shade of red. Then stopped. Sesylia lying limply over his lap couldn't stop crying. Her butt was on fire but that was the least of her worries right now. Sirius restored her clothing and slowly gathered her in his arms once again, stroking her hair and humming reassuring words. "I'm realy sorry Sirius. It was very selfish of me. Please forgive me, please...", she whispered when she finally got her sobs under control.

"You are already forgiven baby-girl. Just never again.", sirius said calmly rubbing her back soothingly. "Shhh, everything is over now. You are forgiven honey. I understand how hard it can be for you and the rest of the children. I wish we could make it better, but we can't. Please try to cooperate a little better, Sesy... Please!"

"I will. I promise Sirius I will try my best! I love you!", she whispered feeling more and more exhausted each passing minute.

"I love you too my Sesy,", Sirius said hugging her a little bit tighter. After a few minutes she was fast asleep. Lifting her in his arms like before he took her to her room and gently lied her down on her stomach. Waving his wand her clothes were replaced by pijamas and he gently pulled the covers around her. He stood there for a few minutes. Just watching her sleeping. And then slowly made his way to his room. For yet another night of nightmares.

…...

The next morning Harry was awaken by an owl tapping loudly on his window. Looking at the watch opposite his bed he groaned realising it was still merely six o' clock. Getting up and wearing his glasses he opened the window and a beautiful gray owl he had never seen before came in. Extending a foot for Harry to take the letter it trilled happily and flew away immediately after the parchment was untied. Harry frowned as he realised it was Dumbledore's handwriting and opened it quickly. Harry, please report to my office first thing after today's classes along with Sirius. I have something very important to discuss with both of you. It is crucial not to say anything to anyone before we talk. Albus Dumbledore.

Harry frowned at the letter as if he expected it to tell him something more and then threw it on his desk exasperated. Now there was no way he could manage to sleep. He started pacing in his room thinking feverishly what could this be about. Why after all these months that the information given to them was so little the headmaster wanted only him and Sirius to share something. Groaning with the unanswered questions he quickly got dressed filled his schoolbag with the books for today's classes and went to the kitchen. He grumpily prepared some tea and started drinking little sips from it just to occupy himself with something. A few minutes later he heard sounds and smiled at the thought that for a few weeks now, him and Sirius were meeting here at the earliest hours. But a few seconds later her way to the kitchen made Sesylia. She looked at him uncomfortably knowing fully well that there was no chance he wouldn't lecture her about the previous night. Harry got up and brought a second mug pouring some tea for her too and put it in front of the chair next to him. Ses gingerly sat wincing at the impact and stared at the dark liquid inside her cup.

"Slept well?", Harry asked concerned his little sister.

"More like passed out...", Ses answered glancing at him. These past few months her brother had really grown. The stress of the situation, the fear, the responsibility and threat hanging upon him had turned him to look at least two years older. Almost older than Allan. She felt really small next to him and couldn't help but lean on his shoulder hoping for an embrace instead of a stern big-brother telling off.

Harry easily put an arm around her and held her tightly, realising for the first time how tiny she was. Looking at her in the eyes he said while sighing, "You got us pretty worried last night baby-sis. You left without telling us while Sirius had already told us not to and then you weren't back till after eleven... We were crazy with worry. Why would you do that?"

Ses just shook her head, "I'm sorry. I was selfish and stupid. I really didn't mean to add to everyone's worries."

Harry sighed and hugged her tightly, "We just want you to be safe Ses. Was Sirius mad?"

"No. He was creepily calm. Never rose his voice.", she said wincing at the memory. "He's not really ok you know. What he told me yesterday while lecturing me made me realise that he has left his anxiety take him over. I doubt he's been sleeping lately."

"I know. But I guess that it is kinda expected, right? All the adults are worried sick. He'll finally control it. He is Sirius!", her brother answered. Ses just smiled at him wishing he was right.

…...

At Remu's apartment, he and Tonks were up before Eric or Hermionie and serving breakfast. "I just don't understand yesterday night. I mean, they left together and then Eric comes back at ten o' clock and disappears at Hermionie's room. And then the boys came and then they just told me about Ses. She snuck out after curfew or something?", she asked Remus while getting the omelet out of the pan and into a big plate and putting it in the middle of the table.

Remus shrugged, "I don't know Dora. They will explain us in a little while, though, so ease that curiosity of yours!", he said kissing her lightly. She was asking the same questions for hours knowing that her husband knew nothing more than her. Right at that point Eric made his way in the kitchen. He wasn't sure if he was in trouble but he knew full well that he'd have some explaining to do. "Good morning Guys!", he said cheerfully and smiled at them.

Remus smiled back, "Good morning there Eric. Have a sit. Is 'Mionie up?"

Not using 'Mionies full name was a good sign, Eric thought, "Yes, she's coming in a little while."

"Now, Eric, How about telling us about yesterday night?", Tonks said barely managing to hide her curiosity. Remus tried his best not to chuckle.

Eric took a sip from his tea and nodded, "Ok, i'll tell you the short version. We went out. I knew Sirius had said no, but Ses insisted and kinda needed it and so we went compromising to get back by nine thirty. When we were out she wouldn't leave with me on time for our curfew. So I left casting an alarm spell at the passages in front of the broomsticks to know if she'd come home or would go somewhere else. If she wasn't back by eleven I would tell you and Sirius. Then she decided to go and continue her night out. The alarm spell went off and I told Tonks.", he said wanting this to end as soon as possible.

Remus looked at him seriously and said, "I should punish you for going out while you knew that an adult had said otherwise and for trying to cover for her and not say something immediately.", Eric's shoulders sank at that. But then he continued, "But I won't. You felt she needed some time out and then you reacted very responsibly by coming home on time and making sure she'd be safe at the same time. I'm proud of the way you handled this Eric. Just make sure that next time you'll say no and inform some of us. It won't be telling on your friends. It will be making sure they're safe.", he said seriously. Then handing him the 'daily prophet' added, "Take a look at the front page."

Eric read the huge, bold title MASSIVE ESCAPE FROM AZKABAN, right under that there were photos of several persons with a big red 'wanted' on them. "They're all deatheaters. They apparated at Hogsmead half an hour after we took Ses home. The barman of the 'Silver Moon' pub was under the imperious curse and had the place vacated for their arrival. We believe that it was Voldermort's job. Only him could take the dementors to allow this. He must believe he's getting closer to getting his weapon and so he made sure to have his most faithful servants free to help him. That means we need to be double careful now." His ward nodded and looked at the newspaper again. Half an hour after they had gotten Ses... She could be there... She could be... He shook his head at that thought.

"We'll be even more than that, Remus. I give you my word.", he said still staring at the deatheaters in front of him.

…...

Harry's day went by really slowly. He was restless trying to guess what it was that Dumbledore wanted to tell them. It sure was not about the escape. That was already in the front page of the newspaper. Was Voldemort finally making his entrance? Harry wondered. His scar was tinkling all morning and he was seriously tempted not to try to close his mind. Maybe he'd see something from Voldemort's side. But he decided not to do anything like that and trust the headmaster's guidelines. After his last class he ran like crazy to the entrance of Dumbledore's office where Sirius already waited. He smiled at his godson and said the password for the gate to open. Soon enough Dumbledore greeted them and invited them inside. Harry and Sirius sat in front of the big wooden desk waiting impatiently for him to start talking.

"Lemon drop?", the headmaster asked smiling, but not as widely as usual.

"No, not really Albus. We are more than curious on what you have to tell us. Could we start discussing why you called us?", Sirius said kindly yet firmly.

The headmaster nodded and took a sit, his face darkening, "As you both know, I've been investigating thoroughly on Voldemort. His tactics, his vantage points, his weaknesses. That is how I plan the strategies of the order and manage to face him successfully when needed. I was always afraid though, of what I just found out. When Voldemort tried to kill you Harry, and his curse shot back to him due to your parents sacrifice, he became something less than human. A fractured soul with no body. His only way to get to you and try to kill you would be through a professor when he knew you'd be attending Hogwarts. When you fought him that night I knew he had escaped. I expected his comeback at some point, but not like it did. He could not regain his body. He would have to be in someone else's for one more time. But he did. He regained his body and came back full force. And there is only one way for him to do that..."

"Hocrux...", Sirius whispered his voice full of disbelief and fear.

"Exactly, Sirius.", the headmaster nodded.

"What's that?", Harry asked, glancing at the two men.

"A hocrux, Harry, is the darkest and most evil magic a person can create. It's a container for a fracture of someone's soul. It's a way for the darkest wizards to make sure they won't die, that their soul will transfer somewhere and live until they manage to regain their body.", Dumbledore said.

"So, Voldemort is immortal", Harry said, his voice hoarse and his palms starting sweating.

"No, not exactly. A hocrux can be destroyed, with a few powerful magical objects and substances. And after that Voldemort can be mortal again.", the headmaster answered.

"You found out what the hocrux is then?", Sirius inquired.

"I found two of them, Sirius.", the silver haired wizard answered darkly.

"What? Two? That can't be!", Sirius answered, his face a mask of disgust, fear and disbelief.

"He has done it. He has fractured his soul more than once. And not just two, but seven times.", the headmaster answered. Sirius stared at him his expression changing to a desperate one.

"Two of them are already destroyed. The one actually, by Harry.", said Dumbledore. Harry looked at him questioningly. Not really finding a voice to ask anything.

"Tom Riddle's diary, Harry. You killed it with the basilisk fang, one of the few magical things that can destroy a hocrux. Of course back then, I had no idea of what it was. I wish I had, that would have given us plenty of valuable time to search for the rest of them. The second was this ring.", he said as he drew a drawer open and brought out a golden ring, with a black stone on it. Something was formed on the stone but Harry merely noticed it. Albus kept talking, "I managed to destroy this only a few hours ago."

Harry was feeling dizzy now, "And, what about the rest of them? You have found any other? Or at least know what or where they are, sir?", he asked his voice weak. Sirius got up from his chair realising the distress Harry was in and went behind his godson, holding his shoulders reassuringly. Protectively.

"I have some ideas. Voldemort's choice of hocruxes was as always not random. The objects were all something of great significance. To him and I believe to the rest of the wizardring world too. And they are all united with a person. A person killed for the hocrux to be created. Seven murdes among the thousands he commited were done for the hocruxes. I have started searching every one of the places he has ever been in. I am more than sure that one of the five remaining is here at Hogwarts, his favorite place in the whole world and a second to a certain cave that he showed me the day I went to find him at his orphanage and tell him he was a wizard. I plan to go there in the near future as a matter of fact.", Albus said.

"But still that leaves us with three that we have no idea where they might be, right?", Sirius asked worried.

"I'm afraid it does, yes. But I intend to make anything possible to find them.", the older wizard answered.

"May I come sir? To the cave? Please, sir I could help!", Harry asked, now realising that getting desperate would not help at all. He should help. He could.

"You most certainly are not going Harry!", Sirius interrupted before Dumbledore even opened his mouth,

"But...", Harry tried only to be stopped by Sirius' glare.

"End of discussion Harry. You are not going.", he said his voice threatening.

"I believe your godfather is right, Harry. You cannot come. I will have the assistance of certain order members.", Dumbledore said with his deep calming voice.

Harry nodded. Then he stayed silent for a while, thinking everything he had just heard, when he almost jumped from his chair, "Wait! What if he tries to save one of the hocruxes, from the ministry? That must be what he looks for there! What if that's what he's planning? He might has felt that two hocruxes are dead and tries to save the rest!", he all but yelled.

But Dumbledore merely shook his head. "No, Harry what he's looking for at the ministry is not a hocrux. I am sure he has not realised of the death of any Hocrux except maybe the diary, but he believes that his superior thought won't be discovered. What he's searching at the ministry will give him some valuable insight on how to proceed from there, to conquer the wizardring world. But rest assured that he has no way in taking it."

Harry nodded trusting Albus Dumbledore. "Sir? I want to ask you to at least keep me informed on the hocruxes. I need to know which are destroyed found or not found. Please sir?", he asked.

"I most certainly will, Harry. I also would like you to think about this, after your exams -and I underline the after your exams part. I want you to think on where or what you might think the other hocruxes would be.", Albus said.

"Of course I will sir.", Harry said.

"I also want you to promise me not to do anything foolish and try to go find or destroy anything on your own. I want your help in researching, but I need you to be safe. Promise me Harry.", the headmaster said.

Harry gulped at that. He knew more than well that it was a promise he was not sure if he could keep. He was more than sure that he would be at least tempted to try and solve this alone to save the others from all the potential risks. But he could not say any of these to the men in front of him. He shouldn't really even thinking about doing anything of the short. "I promise you sir", he finally said, trying to keep his voice stable.

"It will also be crucial to start learning some higher lever magic Harry. Defensive spells, Protecting incantation, everything that will help you, if in the future things come to a point that you might need to face him. This will be discussed tonight at the meeting Sirius. All of the kids will start taking lessons by the order members right after the end of the school year. It is crucial to have them as ready as possible. We are in a war. We cannot leave anything on luck.", the headmaster said. Sirius nodded but said nothing. He could not even imagine Harry having to face Voldemort. No. He would do anything possible, so that this would never happen.

"I would ask the two of you not to tell any of these to anyone. But I know that you'll have to share with your siblings at least Harry and probably Ron and Hermionie as well. But please keep it to them and only. It's an information incredibly valuable that will leave us defenseless if it gets to Voldemort's ears. If he knows that we know too early, then I'm afraid, we won't stand a chance. It is something that won't ever be brought uo at the meeting, Sirius. No one except for us will know.", the headmaster said.

Harry and Sirius nodded and asked to be excused if that was all. When outside Harry leaned on Sirius and barely made three steps before passing out. Sirius gathered him in his arms and casted an invisibility charm over them. Then headed out of the castle and into the tower. Once in his apartment he put Harry in his bed and said the counter spell. Then accioed a potion that brought Harry back to his senses. When Harry turned to look into his godfather's eyes, silent tears started sliding down his face. His eyes full of fear and vulnerability. Sirius hugged him again and held him tightly. He could not accept it. He could not accept that a fifteen year old boy was so unfairly made to face all these. He would protect him. He'd do anything to protect him and his other children.

"It will be alright Harry. Everything will be alright...", he whispered, as angry tears made their way down his cheeks.

I hope you enjoyed this guys. A long chapter and a difficult for me to write. I hope it turned out to be coherent. Keep in mind that in my story Dumbledore doesen't know of the Hocrux in Harry's body. Please review and tell me what you think. Or if i left any blanck spots in the story. :)
