Dear reader,
Sorry that we took such a long time to post our next chapter. Annett's
internet isn't working and my computer broke. I finally got a new one (very
happy). We are almost done with the 4th chapter (the one were they all meet) I think that you will like it. So now read the new chapter. Hope you like it.

"Harry!"
Hearing his name, Harry turned around to see a girl with bushy hair and a
tall redheaded boy. "Ron, Hermione, hello."
"Oh, we missed you, didn't we Ron?"
"Yeah, how did the muggles treat you?"
"After the threat from the Order they pretty much ignored me. Dudley was so
terrified, he ran out of the room whenever I came in."
Flashback
It seemed to take Sirius an age to fall. His body curved in a graceful
arc as he sank backward through the ragged veil hanging from the arch... He heard
Bellatrix Lestrange's triumphant scream, but knew it meant nothing.
"THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD APPROACHES . . . BORN
TO THOSE WHO HAVE THRICE DEFIED HIM, BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES . . . AND
THE DARK LORD WILL MARK HIM AS HIS EQUAL, BUT HE WILL HAVF POWER THE DARK LORD
KNOWS NOT . . . AND EITHER MUST DIE AT THE HAND OF THE OTHER FOR NEITHER CAN
LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES . . . THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE
DARK LORD WILL BE BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES."
Voldemort tried to kill you when you were a child because of a prophecy
made shortly before your birth. He knew the prophesy had been made, though he
did not know its full content. He set out to kill you when you were still a
baby, believing he was fulfilling the terms of the prophesy. He discovered, to
his cost that he was mistaken, when the curse intended to kill you backfired.
And so, since his return to his body, and particularly since your extraordinary
escape from him last year, he has been determined to hear that prophecy in its
entirety, this is the weapon he has been seeking so assiduously since his
return: the knowledge of how to destroy you.
The usual letter from Hogwarts arrived along with his OWL results. He did
alright but to his surprise he actually got an Exceeds Expectation in Potions.
But Snape only takes people who got Outstanding into his NEWT's class, there
went his dream of being an Auror. Oh well.
He was so into the books that Dumbledore send to him that he lost track
of time. Before he knew it he had to go to Diagon Alley to get his school
supplies. He also found it funny in a way since it was Hermione who would always
be studying and stuck in a book. And now it was him.
Moody, Tonks, Remis and other people appeared in his house and then they
went to Diagon Alley. When he got there and got his money from the bank he went
to get his school supplies. And then he went to the book shop and got more
information about the Department of Mysteries.
He asked to stay at the Dursley house for the entire summer instead of
going to the Order's headquarters. He just couldn't face the memories, he knew
he couldn't stay in denial forever but he could still prolong it for as long as
possible. So Dumbledore kept sending books, now from the Restricted section of
the library. Before long it was September 1st . Which brings us to know.
End of Flashback
They boarded the train and found a compartment, talking and catching up on
what the others did over the holiday. If Ron and Hermione noticed that Harry was
a bit more subdued than usual, neither did he say anything. About half an hour
after the train had left King's Cross Harry interrupted the chatter.
"I think I'm going to go and greet everyone, I'll be back soon."
"Alright Harry," Ron replied. "Hermione, you wont to play chess?"
Harry didn't hear the reply, he had walked about 5 minutes when he bumped
into Luna Lovegood.
"Oh, hello Harry. How was your summer?"
Harry was about to reply when Draco Malfoy walked up. "Well, well, well
if it isn't Loony Lovegood and Potter," he sneered.
"Malfoy don't you have anything better to do?" Harry spat
"Oh what's this?" Luna was looking down at the floor and she picked up a
very odd looking book.
And with a whirl of light, they were gone.
