It was a very hot summer day at the end of August about two days before Harry, Ron, and Hermione returned to begin their final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry and his friends have been spending the summer had headquarters for the secret society, The Order of the Phoenix, located at number 12 Grimmwauld Place that had made Harry very happy due to the fact that he didn't have to put up with the Dursleys' this summer kept his short temper fuse relatively cool for most of the summer. Until Professor Remus Lupin, a friend of Harry's father James and Harry's friend now, told him that he was going on a special mission of the secret sort.
"Harry, I have something to tell you." Remus said softly as Harry's eyes narrowed on him and he walked forward.
"Yes Professor?" Harry asked cautiously sensing that he was getting some bad news.
"Well, the thing is Harry, err I'm going on a secret mission over seas to try and find something although I don't have the foggiest idea what it is or where to find it." Remus said very fast as Harry's eyes looked him over from side to side up to down.
"You're doing what?!" Harry Demanded
"Now!? Professor you're supposed to come back and teach us this year."
"Well, there's been a slight change in plans Harry. There's something out side of Europe that I need to find. There is something that is the key to brining down Voldemort. I'll know it when I find it." Lupin said meeting Harry's gaze and holding it steady. Harry finally broke the gaze and nodded silently asking,
"When are you leaving professor?"
"As soon as I can, tomorrow morning probably after I decide where I'm going to start looking first, I have a strong vibe I'll find what I'm looking for in North America...Well Harry I'm going to head off to bed now. Don't stay up too late school starts in two days you'll want to be fresh for your first day. And hell Harry, call me Remus when we're not in school." Remus said with a grin.
"Yes, sir ah, Remus." Harry said sheepishly
"Well good night Harry." Remus said placing a hand on his shoulder and giving it a fatherly squeeze and walked up the stairs to the bedroom entered and walked over to his window leaned up against the framing.
