Disclaimer- I do not own anything but the plot, blah blah blah.

Before you read, just know that this story takes place at the beginning of the school year of his sixth year and contains OOTP spoilers!

A/N- I wrote this chapter for a reply to a review I got, and so it continues.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Happy Holidays

Before Harry knew it he awoke it was Christmas morning. He saw run with a huge pile of Presents and a pile for himself. He carried the gifts to the common room where he met up with Hermione and they opened their gifts together.

Harry got the usual sweater from Mrs. Weasley and a batch of goodies. Ron gave him a case of butterbear and Hermione gave him a book entitled When there is No One Else Around. He got other stuff from Hagrid and Lupin and the whole order as well. When he was all done unwrapping the gifts into a messy pile Hedwig flew up to him and dropped a note on Harry's lap.

It said,

Harry, Happy Christmas. I would like to speak to you as soon as possible. I will be unavailable later but I found something out that I think you should know.

Professor Dumbledore

Harry made his way to the headmaster office and said the password.

"Harry," the Headmaster said. I have been wondering why Voldemort hasn't already killed you when he gave you the dark mark."

"He can't."

"Why?"

"When Voldemort tried to kill me in June he used a lot of his power and became weak. He used a curse that backfired on him. He said it was hard to believe. He also said that he would rather have me on his side than be dead."

"That is what I wanted to tell you Harry but I am glad you already know."

"Is that all Professor?"

"One last thing," the old wizard said. I have a present for you. After all, it is Christmas.

Harry stifled a small laugh and took the wrapped parcel. He unwrapped it and saw that it was a golden case where you can put your wand.

"Wow, thank you so much!"

"I thought you might need it," he smiled.

Happy Christmas Professor, he said on his way out.

Harry ran to the Great hall and found Hermione and Ron eating breakfast.

"Harry, this came from Hedwig for you, Ron said.

Ron gave him a wrapped little box. On it there was a note.

Harry, Sorry it took so long but we had to supply our stash a bit. Here are some cloning beanies and instructions on how to use them. Happy Christmas!

Fred and George

Harry unwrapped the beanies and found 8 little pills. They were red and the instructions said,

To clone something feed 4 pills to the thing you are cloning. Then in 10 minutes time there will appear a real clone. It will live for one weak and can be killed just like humans.

Harry put them away.

"Ron," he said. "I need to ask you for some help."
