A/N: Here are my replies to all the reviews from chapters 2-4.

Chapter 2 Reviews:

Wolfmoon: Now I have written more. Pretty much everyone agrees with you about longer chapters and longer waits. Thanks.  

RockKing69: I know chapter two was boring I'm sorry but it needed to be done. I hope this one was better. Patrick is doing some of Harry's training but even though his magical ability will go past Hermione, his general knowledge won't. He will probably know more painful curses and stuff like that that has to do with dueling but Hermione will always be the bookworm know-it-all in the group. Thanks.

Stewart: thank you I think the action is going to heat up in chapters to come. Yes I did try to stay away from writing so much to his friends. I think this is more believable too. Thanks.

Wolfmoon: Two reviews for one chapter! HAHA you're the best. I think you should be able to review signed in as many times as you want to. Thanks for all the support.

Ace: Thanks for the input. I think so too but it looks like most people disagree with us. Thanks for the review.

Chapter 3 Reviews:

Fairymagic689: thanks for the encouragement. Soon you will find out much, much more about Gordics Hollow and the Order of the Phoenix. Keep reading and I promise you will find out everything you want to know. If not then leave it in the review and I will answer it in the next chapter.

Wolfmoon: Thank you. I'm looking forward to more reviews just as much as you are looking for new chapters. Thanks.

Fairymagic689: wow 2 reviews for one chapter thanks!! Hope you like this one.

Chapter 4 Reviews:

Katy: thank you. I tried to hurry but I'm sorry this took so long. Thanks.

Moonlight: Again I apologize for the wait. Please keep reviewing.

Wolfmoon: you review every chapter and send me e-mails. YOU"RE AWESOME! Thank you.

 And the person who didn't leave a name: thank you for the review I hope you liked it. I hope you like this one too.

Harry Potter and the Return of the Dark Lord

"…you have all gathered to late. My ranks have swelled to ten times anything you can hope to get. My next message is to all of the wizardry world. I am offering my hand to you. This is not something I do more than once. I will take over all of the wizardry world, it is only a matter of time. I am now asking you to ranks. If you refuse to join me, you will die. Your only hope of survival is to come with me now. Now I have some more personal messages, first of which going out to Harry Potter. Potter, you are young so I will take pity on you. I will give you a choice. If you join me now, I will give you powers beyond your belief. You will be second only to me and together we will be unstoppable. Decline my offer and I will kill you. My next message is for Dumbledore. By the time the boy has enough power to even look for the staff, I will have already found it and learned to harness its powers. There is no hope. Turn yourself in to me and I will consider letting you die an almost painless death. Reject this request and I will torture you beyond anything you can imagine. For tens of years after I capture you I will torture you every day just barley keeping you alive. You will scream for me to put you out of your misery every waking moment. You will beg for forgiveness for all of the years you have defied me. And through all that my torture will continue. It will keep going until the day I get tired of it, and I promise you that day is a long way away. Finally I leave you Dumbledore, with one final statement; You can't keep your eye on him all the time. Eventually your guard will slip and I will reach out and steal him from where you and he think he is most safe. Then I will put him through even more pain then I will you. My last message is to Patrick English. You too, like Dumbledore, have had to many times to join me. Your refusals have irritated me. I no longer offer you a place in my army. You I do not even offer the chance to surrender and face a painless death. You will be captured and you will be tortured. And finally here's something for you to think about. You may believe your presence is more required here in Britain rather than in America, but you are sorely mistaken. You left your students with no protection. In your absence there is nothing and no one to stop me from taking over the school and enslaving the students. With these announcements I will now leave you all to make your decisions. I wish you all a very goodnight."

As the radio sound died out Harry found himself for the second time that night running to the apparition wards. Again Harry found himself popping up in front of the headmaster but this time Dumbledore didn't look nearly as surprised.

"Go to the Order room I assume everyone else will be here shortly. I must go and get Sirius from the hospital wing."

"No need, sir." Sirius's voice came as the door to Dumbledore's office opened and Sirius limped in. "The flames in the fire went all funny colors and then Voldermorts voice came from them. He must have rigged every fire in the wizardry world."

"And radio. Mine was sitting next to me and just turned on by itself." Remus's voice came as he too stepped into the office. They all went into the Order room for the second time that night and the room began to fill up. Soon everyone was there and again they all turned their attention to Dumbledore.

"Voldermort has asked all wizards to join him and if I am correct, many of them will. The emotion of fear far outweighs good judgment in times like these to many people. Arabella, Moody, and Mundungus, I want you all to pull back." Dumbledore ordered.

"WHAT!? WE'RE SO CLOSE! I'm almost in there!" Mrs. Figg protested.

"Voldermort wants us to put spies in there." Dumbledore started.

"Why would he want that?" Moody demanded.

"I don't know. But he has used many other methods of collecting supporters but he has done it quietly and secretly so we don't know about it. When he asked the wizardry world to join him he was counting on us sending spies in. I don't know why, but I know that's it. Pull back." Dumbledore commanded. "As for the rest of you, I need you to work twice as hard. Sirius, when will those rings be ready?"

"Well, I would have had them today but I have taken your advice. They will be invisible now to everyone except the ones wearing them. This will make it so that you are not identifiable on the street. So they will be ready tomorrow night if I work real hard." Sirius answered.

"Very well do that. Everyone you may leave. Sirius, Remus, Patrick, Harry, please stay here." Dumbledore said the last bit a little more quietly. After everyone filed out of the room the five left and went into Dumbledore's office. "Patrick am I right in assuming that you know of the staff Voldermort spoke of?" Patrick nodded in agreement. "Good. Sirius, Remus, and Harry, am I right in assuming that you would like to know what Voldermort was talking about?" This time Harry, Sirius, and Remus nodded in agreement. "Very well then perhaps a bit of a history lesson to start off. Wizards are very powerful human beings. Their magical potential is far beyond any other being known to the average man. But there is one particular species of human that is not known to man. Magicians are the most powerful human beings known to anyone. Back in the early centuries of magic, Magicians and Wizards lived in harmony. Everyone knew that Magicians magic went far beyond anything a wizard could do. If you ever needed protection, you went to see a Magician. They could set up protection charms that one-hundred wizards could not break. There was one other major difference between wizards and magicians. No magician, in all of history, has ever gone bad. Their souls are pure and they never practice dark magic to do harm to anyone that is good. But with all the good things about Magicians, they have one fault; their magic is complicated and takes sometimes minuets to complete a difficult spell. This means that the poorest dueler of a wizard could beat pretty much any Magician in a duel. Salazar Slytherin realized this and decided to use it to his advantage. Being as cunning as he was he was able to convince a magician to make a staff for him. A staff is what magicians use instead of wands. They have unlimited power. You do not even need words to use them you just have to think about what you want to happen, point it, and then it will happen. Normally it takes minutes for things to happen as I said but Salazar found a way around that. He did this so he could still duel. He put his wand inside the staff, so it would have the quick outcome of a wand, and the power of a staff. Gordic Gryffindor learned about what was going on so he tipped off the magician. But it was to late. The staff had been made. With Salazar's wand in the staff, anyone of his heir's could use it. A staff can never be destroyed so that was out of the question. The king magician went to consult Merlin. Between the two of them they made a wand identical to Merlin's and put it in the staff. Merlin had no kin so it could not be his heir that took the power. A couple years later Merlin made this prediction." At this point Dumbledore went into his desk and retrieved a very battered looking piece of parchment. He handed it to Harry and Sirius and they read it together. It read:

It will be many centuries before the light side will have any use of the staff. The scared bird  will put his life in the hands of a dog, a wolf, Gordic's heir, and a mysterious stranger. If this companionship of five does not find the staff before the snake, the world will plunge into darkness. Gods speed to them.

"For years I have been trying to find out who the companionship of five is. I will admit to you all now that I am indeed Gordic's heir. I was looking for three animals for some 50 years until the other day Harry. When I saw you turn into an eagle for your animigi all the pieces fell into place. The bird was you Harry. The dog was Sirius, and the wolf was Remus. And an old friend of mine but a mysterious stranger to most in these parts, was you Patrick. The five of us need to find the staff. The scared bird is the one destined to take it. Now Harry, I must warn you, the temptation  to wield the staff's power will be great. You must fight it. Only as a fully grown wizard will you be able to conquer  its power. Even then I recommend that you do not use it unless absolutely necessary. With that type of power will come a desire to do bad things to a wizard, because wizards are not supposed to use them. It would take every waking moment of your life to fight off the urge to do bad things. However we must find it. You, Harry, will be the only one who is able to touch it, but we will all give everything we can to keep it safe for you. Within the week we must set off to find it. Voldermort will send someone to do it for him no doubt, but whoever he sends will not be able to touch it. Only the chosen one and the heir of Salazar can touch it. Now we all need our rest and Sirius you need to get to work on those rings, so lets all be off." With that they all left and went to their houses. None of them got much sleep that night. It was spent rolling around thinking of the journey they would soon embark on by all.

A/N: So how was that? Sorry it took so long I went on two vacations and have not had much time. Don't worry Dumbledore won't find all kinds of new powers. I don't even really know why I put he was Gryffindor's heir. And if they get the staff (I haven't decided yet) Harry will not learn to use its powers until at least he is out of Hogworts (which is a long way away). I will be finishing this story when he is done with his fifth year (which as you can tell is a far way away because he hasn't even started it yet) then going on to his sixth year and seventh. I may do his first year out of Hogworts too but that is at least two years down the road if I decide to. Sorry about the wait but its up now so REVIEW!! Next chapter will be a trip to Diagon Ally and more but I'm not sure what else besides that.
