Though I have never been fond of self-pity lately I seem to be drowning in it and it's only the third week of school! Hermione and Ron refuse to speak with me, any time I try either someone from Gryffindor keeps me from them both or Ron begins yelling at me and pointing his wand into my face. Sometimes I even wonder if he would know enough spells to even give me a good duel. Hermione just sits there, looking far away, she speaks to hardly anyone and never raises her hand in class.

I can't eat, or sleep. I'm becoming so thin and tired that I feel like the invisible man everyone pretends that I am. My life is so lonely, I spend hours talking to Hedwig my only friend. The meals I do attend I am stared at by the Slytherins or totally ignored. I've actually started to like their whispered comments, it makes me feel as though I am still alive.

The same is true in potions, no one speaks to me, and when Snape takes off points or gives me detention I feel elated. Perhaps it's the only thing that I have that still feels normal. And Draco isn't that bad of a partner, he knows his potions, that's for sure. But what gets me is the fact that ever since we've been partnered together not one snide comment has come from him, to be honest he doesn't talk much at all except to tell me to hand him things and then he doesn't say it rudely but also doesn't add a 'please' or 'thank you' which I don't mind.

I've dropped a lot of lessons; Transfiguration, Charms, History of Magic, and Herbology though professor Dumbledore thinks I should still take it a few times. Now all of my hours are spent in private lessons with either the headmaster or someone from the Order who thinks they have something new they can teach me. Though Dumbledore has already said he is running out of things since I am learning so quickly having already taught me Occlumency to the best of his ability.

Though honestly what else can I do with my time besides study and master the things he shows me? I have to get stronger, learn everything I can possibly learn so that when the time comes I can defeat Voldemort. I have to defeat him, or else..who will?

Diary of Harry Potter

I'm as good as dead! How they found it I will probably never know, but they did. And now everyone including the death eaters know the truth. Though according to dumbledore they probably already had a good idea.

This morning, while I sat alone not eating the porridge before me Professor Snape ran into the great hall, black robes billowing out behind him in the normal fashion. I wasn't really paying much attention but he ran directly at me, lifted me from my seat by the arm and basically pulled me from the room. Not wanting to make a scene I said nothing, I had learned over the years that to try and fight with Snape in public only ended up badly.

"What is it?" I asked him as he released my arm but began walking as quickly as possible to the Headmasters office. By the unreadable expression on his face I got nothing but with a quick flick of occlumency I could tell that something was wrong and it had to do with Voldemort , which was all I learned before he forced me out of his mind.

"Knock it off Potter!" he said between gritted teeth as he led me to the gargoyle that guarded the stairs and then spoke the password. I followed him up the stairs , just from out side the door of the office I could feel the anger and fear that pulsed in the room beyond.

As I entered I was overwhelmed by the powerful auras of everyone in the room, which included Tonks, Moony, Lupin, Dumbledore of course and then Snape and myself. Everyone turned to look at me with pitiful glances, Tonks actually turned away as if unable to look at me. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the worst.

"Who is hurt now?" I asked, before anyone else could start talking and sat in the chair everyone seemed to be avoiding.

"Harry.." Lupin said taking a step to me, he looked very tired and old right then and I wondered if a full moon was approaching. He didn't continue talking but instead handed me a copy of the Daily Prophet. On the front page in large bold letters were the words,

"PROPHECY of HARRY POTTER and HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED REVEALED, CAN HE SAVE US ALL?"

I had to read it twice to make sure I read it correctly, and looked up at all of them for a moment before continuing to read the article.

""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 Have 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..."

These are the words of the Prophecy told by and unknown seer just before the birth of the-boy-who-lived which reveals the true meaning behind his survival and his destiny with he-who-must-not-be-named.

According to or source, who would prefer to remain anonymous, this prophecy's meaning is that Harry Potter and you-know-who are equal in power , besides some power that he-who-must-not-be-named is unaware of. The line, 'Neither can live while the other survives' is pretty easy to understand, either young Harry kills him or he kills Harry. And no one else can kill him.

Obviously this prophecy has been held from the public view by either the Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry or by the ministry of magic but we here at the Daily Prophet know that everyone deserves to know who's hands their fate rests in.

Has Harry Potter received ample enough training to secure his and all of our futures? Why was the wizarding world kept in the dark? And who knows the answers. This reporter plans on further inveastigation.

"Who wrote this?" I exclaimed standing and tossing the paper onto the desk infront of me. I could feel hot anger surging through me with reckless abandon and I didn't care. "Are they such fools? Now they will know! How did they find out? Who told them? Who knew about!" shouted not caring that everyone in the room seemed suddenly afraid of me.

"Harry.." Dumbledore said in his sad tone of voice, who I hadn't noticed had been standing beside Fawlks petting his red feathers but now moved to stand beside me. "We do not know who told them." I could feel his anger, fear and outrage though his face revealed nothing and I admit this calmed me a bit to know that this was not a part of his plan. "But we do know that it was not someone at the Prophet…or in the Order.."

"How can you know it wasn't someone in the Order, they were the only ones who knew about it!" I said, not looking at anyone in the room with the knowledge that one of them might have betrayed me.

"Because Harry we used a spell to hold everyone's tongue, even if they wanted to tell someone about anything that happened in the Order, they would be unable to do so."

I took a very deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart and overwhelming anger.

"What am I going to do?" I said in a soft voice lowering my self back into the chair and resting my head on my hand.

All at once everyone began talking, as though assured that I was done yelling and wasn't going to lose control over my abilities. They spoke of new securities for me, people following me around to my classes, dorms, having a body guard everywhere.

"No…" I said suddenly, startling everyone with my voice, I had apparently been sitting there thinking for a while. "I don't need it…"

"But Harry-" Lupin began.

"No…I have more power and abilities than any of you. And I am not just saying that because I am vain, it's the truth. None of you can keep me any safer than I can keep myself. In any case, what would it look like if I needed someone to guard me. The Slytherins are most likely going to report anything going on with me to their families."

At this I heard Professor Snap snort a bit but I ignored him.

"Harry," Dumbledore started, everyone turned and looked at him including me, "I am sorry, but we will be working on figuring out who told the Prophet, but as long as you are here you should be safe. Please, keep your eyes open, Hogwarts is very safe but it is not foolproof."

"Yes sir." I said standing and turning to leave before anyone could stop me, I think a few people tried to call me back into the room but I ignored them. There is nothing they can do for me now. Now I am in the Owlry writing this.

I know that by this afternoon the entire school will know about the prophecy , I am honestly surprised I haven't been attacked by one of the Slytherins yet, but I know it is only a matter of time. My only plan is to not let them see how much I have truly learned, and even perhaps fail in duel with one or two so then Voldemort will think I am still weak and that perhaps the entire prophecy was a lie.

But I can only hope that in time everyone will understand that this was not what I -someone is coming!
