A/N: There are certain thing that are different in my story than the one in Deathly Hallows.

One includes that Severus, Remus and Fred are alive and Sirius Black returned to life after Bellatrix died.

Second, Harry saw his parents in King Cross instead of Dumbledore, I can do a chapter on that too if everyone want that, however I won't be doing that unless it is what you all want because that is not relevant to my story.

Harry's POV

Harry fumed in anger as he walked past the ruins of the very place he once called his home. He wasn't ready to come back to Hogwarts so soon after the battle. Merlin himself could testify that THE BOY WHO LIVED TWICE had much better things to do such as looking for his best friend. But No, the new Headmistress of Hogwarts had to call him so suddenly with her patronous.

Harry kept his head down as he walked across the familiar corridors of the place he had once called home. Now it pained him to even look around the place. He couldn't forget the day when he had seen the corridors and hall of Hogwarts swarmed with death bodies. He hurriedly made his way to the Gargoyle statue that guarded the Headmistress office and provided the password.

"Golden Snitch."

The Gargoyle jumped aside and the stairs started to take him upwards. He knocked on her door once and heard her command to come in. Again, The office brought to many memories back to him. The memories of the man he had considered his mentor for seven years and who had used him like a pawn on hiss chess board. And the memories of another man whom he had hated for seven years and who had spent all this time protecting him. He was happy that at least Severus Snape hadn't died in the battle. He couldn't forgive himself if he had never had a chance to thank and apologize to the man. He pushed the rushing memories to a side of his head and looked at the woman dressed in dark burgundy colored robes. She still looked the same. Black hair tied tightly on her head, her face stern which announced to everyone that this woman was not to be crossed. Infront of her sat Kingsley Shackebolt, the proxy Minister of Magic for the time being. Though Kingsley was a charming person, he was currently wearing his 'I mean business' face.

"Headmistress, Minister." he greeted curtly, not finding himself to be at angry with his professor once he was infront of her. He respected her too much for that and thankful that she had made past the battle.

"You are no longer a student. Mr. Potter." She said as she took out a large roll of paper from her cupboard. "Call me , Minerva."

"Since I am no longer a student as we have just established, call me Harry, Minerva. I believe you haven't called me to discuss what we should call each other. Don't tell me this was the reason?" Harry could hear the irr itation in his own voice.

"I understand Harry that you would rather be anywhere but in Hogwarts right now. And you must know, that I gave you a month before I called you to look into this matter. It can't wait any longer. It would mean making the same mistake that Albus did." Harry turned his eyes towards the portrait of previous Headmaster expecting to see the half moon spectacles and twinkle in his eyes but heaved a sigh of relief when saw that the portrait was empty. Post war, everyone seem to realise the many mistakes the old man had made. No doubt that he was a great man and thought well for the people. But his flaw was his tedious way to deal with things. He failed to see people as individuals. However now was not the time for such thoughts.

"I am hearing." He told her.

She spread the scroll of parchment that she had taken earlier and spread it in front of them. It now covered the entire desk. Harry could see that it was a map however he couldn't understand why Minerva was showing it to him. Did she decided now would be a good time to teach him Geography? Or did she wish to banish him, now he had served his purpose and apparently failed to die?

"What is this?" He asked.

"This is the map of magical Britain." Kingsley said. Like he was that daft to not know that. He gave him an irritated look and he sighed, "This map isn't a normal map. It shows things."

"What kind of things?"

"Important things. When lots of magic is involved." He said and tapped his wand over the map. The map turned black. Harry heard Minerva say a spell and the room turned dark too. There was a faint light in which he could only make out the structure of his two companions.

"What does this mean?" He asked bemused. "Why did you turn the lights off."

"Harry look carefully at the map. Try to see what it shows." Kingsley said.

Harry looked at the map or rather the place the map was supposed to be. It took a while for his eyes to adjust to the darkness but once he could see, he saw what the others wanted him to see. Spread across the map there were several small white twinkles. They were so small that he was surprised that he could see them.

"It is twinkling." He sounded foolish to his own ears.

"They are the witches and wizards spread across Britain. The light that you see is the magical core of the beings. This is what helps the ministry to keep track of every witch and wizard." Kingsley explained.

"Now look at this." Minerva said. "This was from the day of the Battle of Hogwarts."

This time the lights were more visible since a lot of the twinkle was gathered in one place. He picked that it was because many witches and wizards were gathered in Hogwarts that day. That was perhaps why the light was stronger and bigger in the place where he gathered Hogwarts ought to be. Suddenly like a huge nuclear explosion, the light became so bright that it reached a foot over the map. Harry stumbled back with the sudden change.

"How... What happened?"

"Just look, then we will explain." Minerva said. Harry nodded.

The light stayed like that for a while before it split into two and then one part got absorbed by the map over Hogwarts and the other travelled a while before it too got absorbed by the map. The light was turned on and everyone took their sits.

"That was weird." He announced when he felt eyes on him.

"Weird indeed." Minerva nodded. "That was a magical upsurge, you just witnessed. The deaths of various witches, wizards, centaurs, giants, dragons, elves, werewolves and many other creatures that were killed that day led to that amount of magic being realized into the nature."

"So, it is a natural phenomenon. What am I doing here?" he asked. He didn't understand what they wanted with this.

"Harry, have patience." Kingsley said and motioned Minerva to continue.

"When magic is realized in natured, it binds itself to anything it considered worthy. That is how muggleborns get magic. The magic released when a wizard dies latches itself to a worthy object. This was a reason why pureblood thinks that the muggleborn have stolen the magic of their ancestors when in reality the magic choses the wizard , much like a wand."

"So, you mean that amount of magic, from everyone who died in the battle, latched itself to someone." Harry asked mouth gaping at his former professor and the Minister of Magic. If someone really had access to such amount of power, they could be worse than Voldemort.

"Not someone. But two someones. You saw the magic split in two parts." Kingsley said. Harry felt his jaw drop to the floor. Great!

"But…BUT…" He found himself incapable of speech. "BLOODY HELL."

"Bloody hell indeed." Kingsley scoffed while Minerva gave them both reproachful glances.

"We thought the same thing you did right now." She said. Harry wanted to ask how could she know but she raised her and stopped it. "Don't ask me how."

If Harry didn't have confidence in his Occlumency skill, he would have said she was trying Legillimency on him. She seemed to be reading his head.

"During the aftermath of the war, I had a visit from Delphi Trelawney. The daughter of Sybil."

"No way." Harry exclaimed. He couldn't believe it. Was his luck really that rotten. "Don't tell me there is another prophecy."

Minerva pressed her lips in a tight line as she shook her head, "We all have witnessed that regardless of whatever we all think of her, she is capable of real prophecies."

"Well, what is it this time."

Kingsley laid down a small glass orb in front of him and the globe was filled with smoke as Harry touched it.

"THE NEW BECOMES THE OLD. A BATTLE AWAKENS THE RISE OF WHAT WAS FORGOTTEN BY ALL. ONCE MORE, A CHILD IS THE KEY TO THE TALE. BORN TO THOSE FROWNED UPON BY HE WHO PREVAIL. NOT KNOWING THE FATHER, THE CHILD WILL BE BORN WHEN THE MOON HIDES BEHIND THE SUN. HE WHO HAD SEEN DEATH TWICE SHALL GUIDE THE CHOSEN ONE. DARKNESS WILL RISE AND IT WILL START THERE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. BEWARE IF THIS ONCE THEY FAIL, HORRORS NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WILL BEFALL."

Harry slumped back in his seat repeating the words over and over in his head.

"Voldemort will come back?" He asked after a long while.

"Not him. But according to the prophecy it is something worse, Sinister." Minerva said.

"You clearly can see you play a part in this prophecy as well. You must find the child this prophecy speaks of." Kingsley added.

"How will I know who we are looking for. It could be anyone. Like in my case, it isn't saying anything specifically." He said clearly remembering the words."The child born on a Lunar eclipse. Well many people might have born on eclipses. Those frowned upon by those who prevail , if it means the Dark wizard and that is what I believe it means, then he frowns upon everything not pureblood."

"Yes. But if someone can find the child it is you. The prophecy says it will start where it all began. Here in Hogwarts. And we all know that whoever this child is, was here during the battle and it was they who absorbed half of the magic from the upsurge."

"Can't the map help you. If this child is carrying around this huge amount of magic."

"Somehow the magic have disappeared. It seems like it became untraceable." Kingsley said. "We can't find anyone of the two who have taken the magic."

"But there were many children it could be any student. How many students are there in Hogwarts right now?"

"Three hundred ninety four." Minerva said. "It will be easier to find a student born on an eclipse in all of them."

"Oh." Harry looked distantly outside the window as he saw the sun set.

"Can you find her in it?" He asked.

Minerva gave a solemn sigh and shook her head. "This map doesn't reveal the identity of wizards and witches. We will never know which light represent which person."

Harry nodded and got up from his chair. "I will look for the child Headmistress, Minister. But before that I have someone else to find. We have years to find this child and this new dark witch or wizard."

"I hope you find Ms. Granger soon." Harry heard as he shut the door behind him. His mind working in thrice its speed. The Prophecy, the child, the new dark wizard, and most of all Hermione was in his head. He needed to find her. He needed to know she was safe. He still couldn't believe that Hermione Granger, who had known him since he was eleven, her bestfriend who had stood by him no matter how bad the situation became, his sister who had sticked to his side when his life was in danger, had disappeared leaving just a letter behind her. Harry had to find her. And now he needed to find this child too. The child on whose shoulder the future of the wizarding world fell. He promised himself before apparating from outside the gate of Hogwarts that no matter what, he will do everything in his power to protect this child. That he will never let the child go through what he did for the sake of a prophecy. He promised himself that if need arise he will do anything for the child.

A/N : Okay guys. I hope you liked the first chapter. Tell me if you want Harry and Ginny together or rather what pair do you want to see them with. Also Remus and Tonks didn't marry so there is no Teddy in this story. That kind of makes me sad cuz I adore little Teddy Lupin but I don't find Remus and Tonks adorable. They seem more like a rushed couple. So I am planning on giving Remus a new lover. She will also be young since there aren't many adult women in story and I can't pair him with Minerva and Molly. I would love him with Sirius but again that will be disastrous for my story line. So instead I am making another change. And that is, Remus because of his Lycanthropy looks a decade younger than he actually is. I know it is opposite of the book version which says that he has more grey hair because of his condition. But I need him closer to the girls age ( I can tolerate him being older but can't have him to be her father's age.) So Remus in his mid fourties still look like he is in his early thirties. Thats it. Another thing is that I haven't made any couples right now in this story. So If you all have suggestions, bring it on. Last, there will be year gaps in first ten chapters.

Tell me if you liked it. Reviews and suggestions are always welcome.

Hello everyone ,

may this new year brings lots of happiness and prosperity in your lives. Wish you all find your one true love in this decade, your dream job, your family and everything you have always wanted. I pray for your good health and peace of mind.

lots of love.
