Summary: As Harry and his friends enter their sixth year at Hogwarts they don't enter the cheerful world they left behind. They enter a world covered in a thick blanket of fear. It only hits Harry now how important he really is when people start seeing him as the light that allows them to see under this blanket. Along with his friends he must battle the horrors of the past, present, and possibly the future to begin the end of the war, hopefully before it hits Hogwarts. What happens when some of his friends, including one of the 'trio' disappear while under the protection of Dumbledore himself? It's up to the last two, plus some more friends, to find a way to fight this war, on their own...
Warning:There are dark themes in this and many mentions of things that if described too much could make this rated R. There's swearing, mentions of suicide, murder and gore/bloody scenes, mentions of rape and other dark things like that. But most of it aside from the battle (murder/gore) scenes will not be graphic...just mentioned.
Author's Note
Well here's chapter six! I'm working pretty hard at this between everything else I do all day long, which actually is quite a lot despite what my friends think!(lol)
Honestly I wouldn't be writing right now but I'm so bored and none of my friends can do anything today...well except for two of them...one which likes to growl about her computer 24/7 and the other that is constantly being stalked by squirrels (LOL!)
OK I have no notes to add in yet...I might by the end of this and I might not. Well see ya later!
ONWARD!
For the next while Harry was still fuming about Dumbledore. Whenever the headmaster stopped by Grimmauld place Harry would simply avoid him, which was really starting to get on the older man's nerves considering he had something important to tell the boy who lived.
Although it wasn't that Harry never lacked excuses to avoid Albus Dumbledore, in fact he had plenty! The training Mad-Eye Moody and Tonks promised had begun. It was pretty much like school except it was all practical.
Everyday from 8:00 to 10:00 they practiced dueling, curses, hexes, jinxes and other things like that with Mad-Eye. From 10:00 to 12:00 they did some things to do with transfiguration, charms and apparition with Tonks and then they had lunch. Finally in the afternoon they did a variety of things with Lupin. It depended on what they felt like doing.
Currently both of them were sitting on the couch well Tonks paced in front of them, her eyebrow knitted together with thought.
"Harry," she said suddenly, startling him. "In Charms and Transfiguration there is one important thing a person should know about themselves. I guess you can say it's what their inner soul would look like. What is it?"
Harry stared at her with confusion, even Hermione looked startled.
"Ummm..." Harry thought for a minute then suddenly something shot through his mind. A cold clammy hand followed by a silver stag. "An animal." He blushed at the words he blurted out, thinking they were wrong. "I mean..."
"No you have it absolutely right Harry," Tonks said. "It's important for everyone to realize their inner animal, which is pretty much the shape their soul would take."
"Now that I did not know," Hermione said with a sheepish voice.
Tonks smiled then said, "How did you know the answer Harry?"
"I don't really know. I just suddenly pictured a Dementor's hand and then I saw my Patronus," he explained.
Tonks' smile widened and she said, "Ahhh yes, the famous Potter Patronus." Harry flushed. "Hermione can you tell me how the Patronus Charm and Animagi can be related?"
"Most of the time they're the same animal for a person," Hermione said without skipping a beat. "But occasionally there are people that don't have the same one."
"Right," Tonks said. "One way you can know if you have the same Patronus and Animagus form is simply to use testing spells, but here's a tid-bit to keep in mind for McGonagall's class this year. If you are an Animagus, but you can't conjure a Patronus, then about 99% of the time your Patronus originally would have taken the same shape."
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Because all of the animal's being is put into becoming an Animagus, it takes a lot more from the power of your inner animal and you won't have enough left over to create your Patronus," Tonks explained. She got a sheepish smirk on her face and said, "If your wondering how I know all this Transfiguration was my best subject in school but Charms was my favorite."
"Oh," They both said.
"Alright, now answer me this Harry, is it easier to create a Patronus then become an Animagus or vice-versa?"
"Umm..." Harry thought. "Wouldn't it be easier to conjure the Patronus first? Assuming the little speil you just gave us was true."
"Right, just checking to see if you were listening, you're a little spaced out looking well Hermione's kinda scaring me because I swear she's not blinking," Tonks said with a laugh, getting a chuckle from Harry and a glare from Hermione.
She got a serious face again and said, "I can give you a couple of examples...but as you know these guys were illegal Animagus. Your father Harry was the first of the Marauders to become an Animagus because he threw himself, and without knowing it, his inner animal to becoming that fully. Although in the end he did find out his Patronus form was a stag he couldn't conjure it for the life of him. The same with Sirius and...well you know who the other bastard was. Remus on the other hand could conjure a Patronus because didn't have to worry about an Animagus form. I believe his is, coincidentally, a wolf."
"Wouldn't that be because he's a werewolf?" Hermione asked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh," Hermione said, flushing from embarrassment.
"Wait, sorry for interrupting the class and all, but you went to school with my dad?" Harry said.
"Well I wasn't in the same year as them," Tonks said. "When they were in seventh year I was two years off from going into school. I told you I became an Auror 3 years ago...well 4 now. You see I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life through that big gap between school and training. I was upset over what happened too."
"You mentioned my dad and the others," Harry said. "Well what about my mum, could she do anything like that?"
Tonks smirked and said, "The information I'm giving you now, although like I said before, it's hard to come by, is the basic information on this. A certain red-haired woman named Lily Evans gave it to me."
Harry was listened with rapid attention, as was Hermione.
Tonks stared at them and said, "You know people say they can tell what your Patronus or Animagi form will take by looking at a person's eyes. But when I look at yours Potter I see your mother staring back at me. But your Patronus is the same as your fathers."
"Maybe he has two," Hermione suggested.
"That's what I was thinking. It wouldn't surprise me actually. You see there wasn't three illegal Animagi running around Hogwarts in the days of your parents. Oh no, there was four," Tonks said with a smirk. "The fourth one being your mother."
"Really?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Goodness yes," Tonks replied. "You know it's amazing how much you remind me of Lily just by the way you act and the expressions you use Harry...plus your temper." Hermione laughed at that and Harry blushed. "But then again, Hermione, you remind me of her too because your sensible, determined on beating everyone else in your class, extremely smart and you prefer to follow the rules. I bet your Patronus would be an Otter, right?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Hermione asked with surprise.
Both were listening with rapid attention.
"I suppose you want to know her Animagi form, right?" Tonks inquired.
"Yes," both sounded off together.
"Alright," the indigo haired woman said. "But first I want to test you two on this. You both know your Patronus form, lets see your Animagus forms."
"But we can't change," Harry said.
"Right," Tonks said and held out her wand. "It'll feel a little funny but everything will be fine. Who wants to go first?"
Harry smirked and said, "Ladies first." He knew Hermione wanted to go first anyways.
"Thank you," she replied and took a step forwards.
"Alright. Anima Revelto," Tonks said and traced her wand in an S shape.
Suddenly there was a second Hermione, one made from a glittering cloud of dust. It didn't have any facial expressions but that didn't matter. It for-filled it's purpose and changed into an otter. A minute later it disappeared.
"See how it's glittering and a cloudy substance?" Tonks said. "That's how we identify what form the animal takes just incase there's two. Harry, you want to go now?"
"Sure," Harry said and took a step in front of Hermione.
"Yes," Hermione replied right away.
Harry felt a little funny then a cloud of dust and a pure glittering version of him appeared. The glittering one turned into a stag and the dust one turned into a cougar. They too then disappeared.
"Interesting," Tonks said. "But not surprising. It just happens that a cougar was your mother's second form too. Although it was the other way around. She could change into an otter and her Patronus was a cougar."
"Tonks, is there any...you know...special meanings behind the animals we have?" Hermione asked.
"Then how the hell do you know about it?" Harry asked, not even watching his language and ignoring the glare he got from Hermione.
"I honestly can't remember," Tonks said. "I think it was something...you know there are still a few of those books remaining today. They're very, VERY rare though. I did know someone who had one once...but I'm not sure who. That's probably where I heard all this."
"I've got another question," Harry said after a moment's pause. "What does this have to do with anything?"
"Right," Tonks said without skipping a beat. "The reason I'm telling you this is because you both can conjure a Patronus, although Harry's the only one that probably has enough strength to send a Boggart Dementor away, let alone a real one, but that's ok. I want to see if either of you have the ability to become an Animagus."
"Really? Awesome!" Harry said excitedly, getting a laugh out of both woman.
"Yeah but I won't be testing it out today," Tonks said. "But for once today it'll all study."
"Damn," Harry muttered now.
Harry sat in his bedroom, just staring at the un-opened trunk that once belonged to Lily Potter. He hadn't opened it since he received it.
He finally reached over and pushed open the top of the trunk open then seemed to back away from it, as if afraid it would explode. Finally he took a deep breath and gathered his Gryffindor courage.
"HERMIONE! REMUS! TONKS!"
"What is it Harry?" Remus asked well huffing slightly. He had been the first one to reach the yelling boy followed by Tonks, then Hermione and then Nicola and Mark showed up.
He held up a very, very, old looking book and said, "Can anyone else aside from me understand this?"
Hermione, Mark and Nicola shook their heads no but Remus and Tonks looked surprised.
"Where'd you find that Harry?" she asked.
"Bloody hell," Remus muttered, using Ron's infamous catch phrase.
"What? What is it?" Hermione asked.
"It's a book on magic. Not spells, charms or curses, but pure magic," Tonks said. "It explains how to harness it, and how to use it."
"Why can you understand it but we can't?" Mark asked.
"Only someone who had it read it to them, or someone who was destined to know what was in it, can read it. I remember the first time I heard it Lily was reading it to you Harry," Tonks said.
"Speaking of magic," Nicola said. "You know...spells and stuff, when are Mark and I going to get our stuff?"
Everyone stared with surprise and Hermione said, "And when are Harry and I supposed to get our letters confirming what classes we're in?"
Suddenly the door burst open and two red headed young men walked in. They had obviously been listening in and both had sheepish smirks on their faces.
"Fred? George?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"Well you see about your little class lists Hermione..." Fred started.
"We thought it'd be amusing to see..." George continued.
"You panicking when you thought that they forgot about you..."
"So we kept them, even though they got here two days ago..."
Hermione's face was slowly turning red and Harry said, "Run mates."
Both of the Weasley twins, who were slowly starting to feel better, took Harry's words to heart and ran out of the room as fast as possible with an angry Hermione on their heels.
Harry laughed slightly then looked back at the book his astonishment. He touched the pendent his aunt had returned to him. Although no one else could see it, it kept it underneath his shirt. He didn't want anyone asking questions about it. He could guess that Remus and probably even Tonks could tell him about the phoenix pendent, but he decided for once, that he'd rather not know, it was just a feeling he had that told him he wasn't meant to know yet.
He got up and was about to put the book back when he noticed something else at the bottom of the trunk. He reached down an opened the small box, his eyes widened at what he saw and he quickly closed it with a snap.
"Harry," Mark yelled. "We're going to Diagon Alley, come on!"
"Coming!" Harry yelled back and grabbed his cloak, smiling proudly at the Gryffindor crest on the breast of the cloak. With that he ran down the stairs.
Hermione was holding both her letter and Harry's with triumph. Fred and George had mismatched hair colors. Tonks looked impatient. Remus just stood patiently. Mark and Nicola were both bouncing on balls on their feet.
"Yeah," Harry replied with a smile. "Can't wait to see it."
"Here's your list Harry," Hermione said excitedly. Harry rolled his eyes at her and opened his envelope. He gasped, but not because of the list, but because of what fell into his hand. A shiny badge with a P on it.
Fred and George both went silent and Hermione gasped. She was glad Harry got it but she knew what he was thinking at that moment.
It slipped from his hand, onto the floor with a thud, soon followed by the envelop.
Harry felt terribly sick, like he was about to puke. His eyes were wide and he was shaking.
"Harry, don't blame yourself. You're the person Ron would want to have the badge aside from him," George said with a forced smile.
"Come on Harry, a little outing will help you," Tonks said and pretty much shoved him out the door. "Besides, I want to see your driving abilities."
"Yeah," Fred said and helped Tonks. George picked up Harry's letters but just dropped the envelop back on the floor.
Harry smiled at them lightly then said, "Alright." All six of them piled into the car and Fred yelled, "ONWARD!"
Harry chuckled weakly and turned the car on then zoomed away. He didn't realize he had felt his prefect badge on the floor in Grimmauld place where it would get some curious stares from Mad-Eye, Kingsley and others from the order no doubt...including some scowls from Snape.
Soon they got to the Leaky Cauldron. Remus shrunk the car after they all got out ("You can never be too careful," he said wisely.
After waving to a few people in the tavern they went to the wall. Nicola and Mark were both shocked to see it opened.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley," Harry said, remembering Hagrid's words to him.
Neither of the younger kids could keep their eyes off all the different stores around them.
"You're an ok driver," George finished and the two walked away.
"Yeah right," Nicola muttered, only to laugh as Harry ruffled her hair.
"Ok, we've gotta get some money," Harry said. "I'll pay for Mark and Nikky's things."
"Oh you don't have to Harry," Hermione said. "I can buy my sister's things. My parents sent me enough money."
"You still owe me potion ingredients remember," Harry said with a smirk. She just smirked back.
"Where are we going then?" Mark asked.
"Into Gringotts," Harry said and pointed to a large white marble building. "It's run by Goblins."
"Really? Wicked!" Mark replied.
"Come on," Remus said and led the way.
After waiting in line to get Hermione's Muggle money changed into Galleons, Sickles and Knuts. Nicola and Mark were fascinated with the pieces of gold, silver and bronze.
"Excuse me," Remus said to one of the goblins.
"Harry Potter would like to make a withdrawal from his vault," the werewolf explained.
"Who's will?" Harry asked with surprise, wincing as he heard Ron's name.
"There are three to be exact. Mr. S Black, Mr. J Potter and Mrs. L Potter," the goblin read. "Apparently the wills of Mr and Mrs Potter were left here at the time of their death but were advised not to give it to their son until he was 16. Is there any problems?"
"No," they all said.
"Can we listen to the wills now?" Tonks inquired.
"Yes," the goblin said. "If there is no problems."
"No sir," Harry blurted out.
"No," Hermione replied sadly then noticed the goblin eyeing Mark and Nicola with suspicion. "They're with us too."
"Please enter," it said and they walked into a round room and sat down on the chairs. Hermione made sure to sit next to Harry, who had become extremely tense.
A minute later the goblin walked in the room with three boxes. He placed them on a circular table in the middle of the room and said, "Enjoy." With that he walked out of the room and the lights turned off.
Harry felt Hermione grab his arm when the lights snapped off but he didn't really care, he was used to Hermoine grabbing ahold of him when she was nervous.
Suddenly there was a creaking sound then the room lit up with pale blue light. This blue light came from a glowing image...a glowing image of...
"Hello my faithful friends!" the image said happily. He looked around the room and said with a frown, "Where'd dear old Ronniekins?"
"You can see us?" Nicola asked with shock.
Sirius turned to her and said, "Damn straight! By the way, who are you two?"
"Nicola Granger." "Mark Evans."
"Evans eh? I knew your aunt...anyways," Sirius turned back. "Hiya Tonks, Moony." They both smiled. There were tears in Tonks's eyes.
"And here we have Harry and Hermione," Sirius said with a sad smile. "Now where's Ron?"
"The Death Eaters have him," Hermione murmmered.
"Oh," Sirius said, his face fell. "Well I guess it's onto business then. As you know, I'm dead. Quite the shock it was too, to fall through that veil. And no don't blame yourself Harry." He added that went seeing the look of guilt on the young man's face. "Anyways as I mentioned before, Grimmauld place belonged to me and I had my own house too...which stayed under my name when I was in Azkaban because I put the heir to it as Harry Potter. Which is true. Harry, I want you to have my old house. It's a tad bitter cheerier then Grimmauld place, you know. Your mother always growled at me and James about being slobs. Tonks, being my dearest cousin and Remus, being the only living, worthy Marauder left you two get to split into Grimmauld place...really split in half if you want, I'll find it amusing."
Everyone chuckled at him, although there still were plenty of tears.
"Also as you know I have a REALLY big vault FILLED with money," Sirius said. "So I split it in five equal...ok actually just five groups of gold. Sorry I was a little picky about who I wanted to have more. Harry, you have the most, then Remus, then Tonks, then Hermione and Ron I believe got the same amount. It was all moved into your own faults...yes Hermione I even got you a vault in the process...you can thank me later. Harry, yours is a little more then everyone else's and so I kind had to give you my vault too, yours filled to the bursting, you needed another one."
Harry got a shocked look on his face and said, "Holy shit."
Sirius chuckled at him then said, "Also I'm giving you my flying motorbike brat. Take care of it! Tonks, you get all the silver and junk in Grimmauld place. God only knows what you'll end up doing to it...I'll be watching with amusement though. Remus I give you the ownership of all those inventions we used to make and the second cope of the books we wrote. Harry you get the original copy, I'm sure Hermione will want to read them too. Well I'm sorry to say but I've gotta go. Have fun listening to Lily and James. Miss you all and I'll never, ever forget you! Don't worry Harry, I don't blame you at all so don't blame yourself." With that the image of Sirius vanished.
Harry couldn't hold it back anymore, he left out a sob and for the first time in many years he felt tears leak from his eyes. "Mum? Dad?"
James Potter's image frowned and turned to Lily Potter's image and said, "Oh yeah, he still says your name first."
Lily smirked and said, "Harry always liked me better." Her tone of voice had a playful look to it. She then turned to face the small audience and said, "Hi sweetie."
Harry was starting to shake now. Hermione let go of his arm finally and put her hand on his back for comfort. All Harry said was, "Mum."
Lily smiled sadly, silver tears were running down her glowing image. "I'm sorry you had to live with the Dursleys. If he had even thought about it we should have told Dumbledore we switched Secret Keepers so Sirius wouldn't have been put in Azkaban. I'm so sorry. I suppose you know about your sister by now too right? Well she's happy with the rest of us here."
"Well that's one thing she's got that I don't," Harry muttered.
"Also," Lily said. "We have a cottage on an uncharted island. Actually we own the whole island. It's not THAT big, but it's good for a vacation. Don't worry, Muggles can't see it."
"As you already know we left you our money...well most of it. There's a little more. Not near as much as Sirius gave you but that's not the point...he just wanted to be a show off," James said.
Lily sighed then said, "I know you got my trunk filled with those old books and everything. Read them, maybe you can try learning some of it."
"Remus," James said to his old friend now. "We left you some money too. Its in your vault with the stuff Sirius gave you."
"And Tonks of course, I felt you some of my Charms and Transfiguration books, no not my text books, but I'm sure you'll love them," Lily said.
Lily looked around the room and spotted Hermione and noticed the girl was trying to calm Harry down, and it seemed to be working fairly well. "What's your name dear?"
"Oh call me Lily," the red-headed beauty said warmly. "I know you don't know me but I can tell your good friends with Harry, and I think you deserve something too. I want you to have my journal. Sorry Harry sweetie, there's some things in that a boy should never hear. Hermione can tell you most of the story too."
The Potters continued naming off a few things and finally Lily got the last thing to say. "Harry, I also gave you something the night I died...I put it around your neck. Do you still...have it?"
"Yes," Harry said, knowing she meant the pendent. "Aunt Petunia gave it back to me."
"Good," Lily replied.
"Kick all their asses for us!" James yelled.
"I will dad, mum. I'll do it for you guys and Sirius," Harry said determinly.
After getting the money they needed (Harry almost dropped when he saw his vault). Harry and Hermione headed to Madam Malkin's Robe shop to get their new school robes (Harry found out his were MUCH too short, which surprised him greatly) and some new dress robes (Hermione had been positively delight when she read that, this only meant there was to be another ball this year. Harry wasn't as thrilled thought.) Also they picked up some new Muggle cloths and Muggle formal wear. Hermione refused to show Harry her new dress robes or her new dress. Tonks and Remus had gone with Mark and Nicola to get their wands, assuming Harry and Hermione would be alright on their own. It was only then that Harry realized they were probably being stalked by other Order Members.
He suggested his theory to Hermione who thought about it and agreed. They quickly got their books, potion ingredients, quills, parchment and all that stuff. They then went quickly to Fred and George's shop.
A minute later Kingsley Shacklebolt ran into the shop. His eyes landed on Harry and Hermione and he said, "You two! Through the fireplace! NOW!"
Angelina quickly grabbed both of their arms and shoved them into the fireplace. "Sorry," she said. "I know you won't leave without a fight." She threw the floo powder in and they had no choice but to say where they were going or they'd choke to death on the powder or burn in the flames, so they yelled out, "Number 12 Grimmauld Place!" then vanished into the emerald flames just as the windows of the shop exploded.
It was already late at night, probably about 2:00am, and neither Harry nor Hermione were even a bit tired. They were both worried. Remus, Tonks, Mark and Nicola hadn't returned yet. To keep their minds occupied they both were looking through Lily's trunk. Harry stumbled across his mother's journal that she spoke about and gave it to Hermione. He also found some sheet music that Lily Potter had apparently written. Harry also found something Hermione claimed was a voice holder.
"Just tap your wand on it three times and whatever's recorded in it will play," she advised. Her eyes too showed curiosity for the object.
Harry tapped it then listened as music started filling the room.
how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb
without a soul
my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
frozen inside without your touch without your love darling
only you are the life among the dead
all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
The two sat in shocked silence and Hermione said, "Wow, that was your mother and who?"
"Dunno..." Harry said. "It kinda reminded me of Sirius though. But that's not the biggest thing I noticed."
"What is then?" Hermione inquired.
Hermione stared at him and said, "I think we all feel like that, in one way or another." And was she ever right.

Ummm...yeah...I just like the song; I know I didn't have to put that part in it. Wow, I think my mom mixed something with the Pepsi because I'm feeling REALLY hyper right now! LOL!
Anyways thank you to everyone for reviewing! I really appreciate it! Like I stated before I'm really trying hard in this fic. You know I was reading Order of the Phoenix last night (again) and I noticed that when they were in Grimmauld place they kept saying Sirius was the last of the Blacks...but what about Narcissa, Bellatrix and Andromeda? Well if they meant last names then yeah but I think somebody will get what I mean!
I also have a question about the book about something I noticed aside from that. Many people assume that Voldemort realized the connection to Harry when Harry was the Snake, which makes sense cause only after that did Harry need Occumancy lessons, so why, at the first of the book, did Dumbledore avoid Harry? Shrugs probably an obvious answer to that but oh well!
Also I'm sorry the last part seems a little rushed, I just wanted to get this chapter done quick! The whole point was to show the wills! Here's a hint for everyone, there's something REALLY important mentioned up there! Not telling what it is though!

Me222 – Wow! I'll take that as a big compliment! Sure I agree, JK probably does put a few fake hints out here and there to keep us on the edge of our seats but probably not that often.
