Sirius and Harry were still hugging when Remus came back. 'Ah, I'd hoped that this would be how I found them when I came back,' Remus set down the books and school robes that he had gotten Harry for school down. Remus loudly cleared his throat to let his friends know that he was there.

"Oh, hello, Moony. Harry and I were just talking," said Sirus, hoping that he no longer had tears in his eyes. Remus nodded in understanding.

"Harry, I'll go and set your books and robes in the extra room upstairs. You can sleep in there until you have to leave for Hogwarts."

"No, Remus," Harry's voice startled Remus. "Stay here." Remus and Sirius both looked at Harry questioningly. Harry noticed their confused looks so he continued. "There is something that I want to tell you both before I loose my nerve."

Remus walked over and sat in a chair that was next to Sirius.

After a moment of silence, Harry continued.

"I…I don't know what my visions and dreams mean EXACTLY."

"So, you've been having dreams and visions?" Concluded Remus.

"Yes." Harry said as he nodded.

"What happened in them?" asked Sirius. That was the question that Harry had asked himself numerous times before. He only knew what he had seen, but he had no idea EXACTLY what the vision and dream meant.

"Well, my first vision happened just before I somehow apparated here." Harry paused, replaying the vision in his head. 'Did he say that he apparated here? From the Dursley's? That's impossible…Dumbledor placed anti- apparation charms all over the house. Harry COULDN'T have apparated…could he?' Remus asked himself.

"Well, before I apparated here, I was knocked over by something that seemed to have hit me from inside. Then, I heard a voice. Then another. The voices were those of Voldemort and another man who I now know as Lord Damian-"

Sirius and Remus both let out enormous gasps in unison. Harry looked at Remus, then at Sirius. Both had eyes that were as wide as their eyelids would allow, their mouths were hanging open, and their faces had lost most of their color. Both were clutching their chair arms so tightly that their knuckles were turning white.

"G-go on, H-Harry," Remus managed to sputter out. Sirius was still as expressionless as before.

"Well," continued Harry, "it seems that Vold- no, Voldemort WAS pleading to Damian." Remus and Sirius seemed to flinch every time Harry said the name 'Damian.' Harry continued. "Then, I began to see bodies…everywhere. I didn't realize it until later that the bodies had on robes…Hogwarts robes…the bodies were the bodies of Hogwarts students…" Harry trailed off. 'That was all of the vision, I think,' thought Harry. Sirius nodded, he was finally recovering from his state of shock. "Go on," he said.

"Well," said Harry, deep in thought wondering how to tell Sirius and Remus about his dream. If they acted like somebody had died after hearing about his vision, how would they react after he told them about his dream? Harry thought of what he had told himself earlier: no more secrets. He opened his mouth and began to tell them about his dream. "Then I woke up here. You know eve4rything that happened from the time I got here to the time I fell asleep." Remus and Sirius nodded. "Well, after I fell asleep, I had a dream. Only there were no bodies and… and Lord Damien knew I was there," once again Remus and Sirius flinched, although it was not as noticeable this time. "Lord Damian introduced himself as my destructor. He said that my dream was a foreshadowing of what was to come. When I told him that he couldn't hurt me, he said that he… and he could also hurt anyone I cared about. Then, he reached for me. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I began to hear someone calling my name. I called out to the voice, and I woke up. You know all of the rest." Remus and Sirius sat in silence for a moment, trying to take in everything that Harry had just told them.

"D-Damian? Are you sure that he said that his name was D-Damian?" Remus finally asked.

"Yes…why?" Harry was beginning to sense that Sirius and Remus knew something he didn't. Neither of the men answered him.

"Why?" Repeated Harry, a little more stern this time.

"O-oh, no reason," Remus finally answered. His words were very unconvincing to Harry. "I was just making sure that I had my facts straight." The way that Remus was talking only made Harry less convinced.

"Come on! I'm not keeping any secrets from you two! Who is Lord Damian?!" Harry was beginning to get upset. He had told them everything; it was their turn to tell him what they knew.

Remus whispered something to Sirius. Sirius nodded and then sighed.

"Where to start…" Sirius looked deep in thought as he spoke. "Ok… you know how the Death Eaters work for Voldermort?" Harry nodded. "So imagine that the Voldemort is the employee and the Death Eaters are the employee assistants…" Harry nodded. 'Where is he going with this?' he asked himself. "So…every employee has an employer, right?" Harry's look of shock let Sirius and Remus know that he was beginning to understand. Harry finished what Sirius was about to say.

"And Damian is the employer…" Harry spoke in a tone that was so soft that Sirius and Remus had to strain their ears to hear it.

"Yes, he is," both men were glad that Harry understood. It saved them a lot of explaining. But at the same time they wished that he didn't HAVE to understand. Now Harry had just one more problem to add to his list.

"And the employers always have more power than the employees…" Harry let out a sigh.

"Yes. Harry, I'm sorry," that was all Sirius could say. There were no other words that would comfort Harry.

"But why did I get the vision? And the dream? What is so special about ME?" Harry began to feel hopeless. "Why is everyone always after ME? Why cant I just be a normal wizard?" Harry didn't sound scared at all…just sad.

"I don't know yet…Harry. But we will find out someday, Harry. I promise." And with that, Sirius enveloped Harry in another loving hug, but this time, Remus joined in, too.

"We both love you, Harry. Remember that." Harry would have regularly loved Sirius' words, but this time they only made him worry more. Why would Sirius tell him to remember that they love? He was talking as if something was going to happen that would enable them to ever tell Harry that they loved him again. Harry shook the thought out of his head, 'He didn't mean it like that, Harry. You are just making a big deal over nothing.' But somehow, even Harry's own words could not comfort him.

"Oh! I almost forgot! Harry, have you read the letter from Hogwarts yet?" Asked Remus.

"Oh, no. It kinda slipped my mind," Harry looked up from the hug. Remus walked over to the kitchen table and grabbed a letter. Remus handed it to Harry.

"Dear Harry," Harry read aloud. "We are pleased to be having you attending Hogwarts for another fun-filled year. Remus has explained to me you situation and I am allowing you to stay with him for the rest of the summer. I would like to congratulate you on becoming Quidditch captain. With this letter you should find your badge and handbook. I look forward to seeing you on September 1st. Sincerely, Albus Dumbledor" Harry's face lit up for the first time in months. "I MADE QUIDDITCH CAPTAIN?!! AWSOME! I CANT WAIT TO TELL RON!!!" Harry jumped up and reached for a quill and a piece of parchment.

"Congrats! But after you send Ron your letter, I suggest that you go to bed. We are taking you shopping in Diagon Alley tomorrow to celebrate a very special day…" Harry blushed, he had almost forgotten that tomorrow was his birthday.

"Ok, after this letter I'll get strait to bed." And with that, Remus and Sirius headed on to their rooms. Harry did just as he had promised. After he had finished his letter, he went to bed. 'Maybe this year wont turn out so bad after all!' Thought Harry. If Harry had known what was to come, he wouldn't have said that.
