Summary:
After a hectic fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry returns to the Dursleys. The Dursleys are nasty as usual, but Harry has more on his hands than that. Apart from grieving after Sirius' death and reminiscing on how his life had turned out so far, an unexpected visitor arrives at Harry's door with a cryptic message. Things begin to fall into a routine as day after day goes by uneventfully, and Harry has all but forgotten the stranger that paid him a visit earlier on in the summer. But fate intervenes and Harry is accused of a crime which he is innocent of. All evidence points to him and all turn against him, including Hermione, the Weasleys, the Order of the Phoenix, and Albus Dumbledore, the aged headmaster of Hogwarts. He is sentenced to life in Azkaban just like his godfather, and here is where that mysterious visitor pays him a visit once again...
(Chapter Two)
Many people speculated how Harry Potter had managed to survive when those whose experience far greater than his could not. Some say that it was his mother's sacrifice that saved him. Some say that it was his raw magical yet-to-be-discovered-and-harnessed power. We may never know.
However, we do know that Harry Potter had survived and broke the power of Lord Voldemort. On that night, he was rescued by Hagrid, the half-giant who was Keeper of the Keys at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was flown across the country on a magically enchanted flying motorcycle in the dead of night. And he was left in the care of his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon by Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts.
For ten years, Harry lived with his Muggle relatives, who were by far the most Muggle of all. He was lied to and pushed around by his incredibly porky cousin Dudley Dursley. He was told his parents had lost their lives in a car crash. And he made strange things happen when he was mad or scared.
It was these strange things that had troubled Harry the most. Once, he had managed to regrow all his hair back after Aunt Petunia had given him a horrible haircut. Another time, he had managed to jump onto the roof of his school. Harry had also managed to set a boa on his cousin and his friend. And the worst one of all was when he blew up his horrible Aunt Marge unintentionally (but that was after he had heard about magic).
The mystery was answered when on Harry's eleventh birthday, Hagrid had personally delivered a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts to Harry. He had been overjoyed at the thought of leaving the Dursleys.
At school, Harry met and grew to be best friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. He also made another nemesis in Draco Malfoy. Harry was sorted into Gryffindor house (Hogwarts was divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.). Harry had many adventures in all his years at Hogwarts.
In his first year at Hogwarts, near the end of the school year, Harry and his friends discover that Voldemort in spirit form was attempting to get the Sorcerer's Stone, a magic stone that could perform alchemy and provide immortality. After defeating a Devil's Snare, a magically enchanted chess set, and getting through the other challenges, Harry arrives at the last chamber. There he manages to escape Voldemort's clutches and prevent Voldemort from getting the Sorcerer's Stone, and thus delaying his return to the world.
In his second year at Hogwarts, Harry finds that Voldemort's real name was Tom Marvolo Riddle, and that he has used his memory, preserved in a diary, to possess Ron's younger sister Ginny to set a Basilisk loose within the castle trying to purge the world of all muggleborns or "Mudbloods." Harry had found the Chamber of Secrets and rescued Ginny and himself from Voldemort's clutches again while defeating the Basilisk.
In Harry's third year, there are many revelations. The truth about the Potters' deaths are found out. A traitor had betrayed them: Sirius Black. But during the eventful year, Harry discovers that Sirius, his godfather, was innocent, and Peter Pettigrew a.k.a. Wormtal the rat was the true traitor. Sirius is caught and sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss, but Harry and Hermione go back in time and save him.
In his fourth horrifying year, Harry is unwittingly entered into the Triwizard Tournament, which consists of three tasks that must be accomplished. During the third task, Harry watches his friend die and sees Lord Voldmort's rebirth.
His fifth year was the most horrible. A prissy Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher assigned by the Ministry joins and causes mayhem at Hogwarts. At the end, Sirius is killed, and Harry blames himself.
And here he was, Harry Potter, a boy of only fifteen, but already burdened with the weight of the whole world, or maybe even the whole universe, or possibly the fate of all the universes. If one that holds so much power were to fall into Darkness, life as we know it may end...
