Harry didnt know what to say. Resurrection? But hadnt Dumbledore told him that it was damn near impossible, and besides, things could go very very wrong?

"I know what youre thinking Harry...But theres a lot Dumbledore doesnt know. He likes to think he knows 'enough'...But he doesnt. He really doesnt." Lana said.

"So...Youre saying that...We can bring him back?" Harry asked slowly.

"No. Not we. Me."

"I want to help." said Harry, throwing himself into the idea, not really anything new, he never thought about the consequences of his actions.

"And you will." Lana looked around, and then back at Harry. "Later. But I have to go now. And try and dig something up that my mother was studying. As soon as I find anything, Ill tell you."

Harry stood up to leave, numb with excitement and nervousness.

"Not a word to anyone, Harry...I could get into a lot of trouble for this..."

Harry nodded. He couldnt speak. He was going to get his Godfather back...

~*~*~*~*~*~ THE DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES~*~*~*~*~*~

Lana stood in front of the doors to the DoM. Her hands were shaking slightly as a magical scanner ran beams of red and blue lights across her and through her.

"Entrance granted." said a voice, and the heavy metal doors slid open.

Trembling from head to foot, Lana stepped through the doors, and was immediately greeted by her mothers partner in crime, Tyler Lestrange.

"Havent you aged nicely." said Tyler dryly. They had never seen eye to eye.

"You havent." replied Lana. His hair was grey and clipped short, military style. Wrinkles etched his face. He was tall, over 6 foot, and at one time he intimidated Lana. "I'm here to find out why I havent aged. Im starting to think maybe it has something to do with you and my mother."

Tylers grey eyes flickered, and he pulled out his wand and pointed it at Lanas chest. "Lets get one thing clear. Somethings arent meant to be known."

Instead of Lana flinching at him and apologising, she raised her eyebrows. "This isnt the first time Ive had a wand pointed at me. And by wizards much more powerful than you. Frankly, people thinking they can kill me is getting a little irritating."

Fear appeared across his face, and Lana knew that he knew what she was capable of. He lowered his wand and swallowed hard. "You do not know the source of your power, do you?"

"Admittedly, no. But you do."

Tyler walked backwards from Lana. He knew better than to turn his back on her. If she had realised the true extent of her power, it would be an extremely foolish thing to do. From the look on her face, he was almost sure that she hadn't, but she was getting close.

"Are you going to tell me?" she asked, watching him back off.

"Somethings cannot be explained. Only shown." he replied, voice even.

"Well then show me. Because time is running out, and I am getting impatient."

He walked to his left, to a small door. He took out a key and unlocked it, pushing it open. "There you go. The Hall of Records. And you might not like what you see."

"Thankyou." Lana said, and moved so quickly into the room, that he only knew shed moved when he heard the door slam.

~*~*~*~*~*~THE HALL OF RECORDS~*~*~*~*~*~

Smiling to herself, Lana muttered "Lumos" and a small ball of light appeared in her hand, and she threw it up into the air and it grew and lit the whole room. Or so she thought.

The Hall was vast, with corridors leading off and doors leading off, but in the centre of the room was a small table with a chair. Lana walked towards it, and on the table was a file. On it said "Lana Madison" and had her mothers signature on the bottom right hand corner. The file was immensley thick and Lana had no idea how she was going to get through it all.

Carefully taking off the elastic that was wrapped around it, Lana sat down and opened it....
