A/N- Wow, it has certainly been a while since I have updated. This has been a very hard month. My dad was sicker than we thought and we didn't know if he was going to make it. Thankfully he is now on the rode to recovery and my updates will be at a better pace. Harry Potter comes out June 4th! I can't wait! It is hard for me to function let alone get through the last few weeks of school. I will be starting a new fic as soon as school ends. I will tell you all what I think of POA and I excpect you to tell me what you think! Also, you should join my yahoo group because it is where I let people know when I update and if there is a delay then why. Destinations Unknown is on hold until further notice. My friend pointed out a mistake I made in the last chapter. I said there wasn't a wizard judge but then a sentence or two later I said there was. Sorry bout that. Honest mistake. Thank you for understanding about my update pace. I hate waiting for updates to. Questions for you all...do you like cliffhangers? Someone said they did but I didn't think anyone did because I hate them. Let me know! PLEASE REVIEW!!!
JUSTINA- REVIEW!!

The week of the finals came far too soon for Harry. Hermione studied like crazy and Harry had managed to cut down on the studying. The months full moon went as smoothly as was expected. Harry hadn't talked to Stratus anymore than normal but he had talked to Sirius and Remus a lot. Hermione, Ron, and Harry were sitting in the common room the night after the Divination's final.
"Can you believe another year is almost over?"
"Are we going to the same place as last year?" Ron meant the order's headquarters at Grimmauld place.
"I think we are actually staying here for a little while longer," Harry said.
"The wards need to be strengthened," Hermione said.
"Why, what happened?" Ron asked.
"I don't know," Hermione said, "I found out from Professor Lupin that some of the wards there were weakening.. I didn't know we had to stay here though."
"Will your parents mind?" Harry asked.
"Of course not if it is for my safety but I am really starting to miss them."
"Well, you will see them soon enough," Ron pointed out.
Hermione nodded just as Sirius came into the room.
"Hi Sirius," Harry said to his godfather. The common room was fairly empty. Sirius had chose not to tell anyone about Orion but whenever he could he walked around in his school form. The school took a little time to get used to it but they eventually did.
"We were just talking about you," Ron said."
"No we weren't Ron," Hermione insisted.
"Well, not you but whether we would spend summer with you," Ron finished.
"Is it true that we are staying here after school ends? Or are we going...you know where?" Harry asked.
"You are staying here with me Harry but Ron and Hermione can go home. They are going to come back early for an order meeting in July."
"Back to the Burrow," Ron said almost gloomily.
"We'll still get to come back earlier than most people," Hermione said trying to cheer him up.
"Yeah, I just don't want to be the subject of Fred and George's new experiments."
Everybody laughed and Ron just cringed.
"I came to fetch you for Dumbledore Harry. He requested you in his office."
Harry sighed and got up. "Do you know what it's about?" He asked.
"No clue Harry but I am sure everything is fine." Sirius assured him.
"Try not to get in a fight with him this time Harry," Hermione warned and Sirius and Ron nodded in agreement. Harry rolled his eyes and slowly made his way up to the headmaster's office.
"Hello sir," Harry said after being let in by a polite "come in," from Dumbledore.
"Hello Harry, have a seat. Would you care for a lemon drop?"
Harry held back a laugh. "No thank you," he said as he sat down.
"Very well. I wanted to talk to you about the amulet and about Professor Stratus."
"Um...sir?"
"Yes Harry?"
"I know about Sutarts."
"Oh! He told you?" Dumbledore asked looking taken aback.
"Not exactly. I sort of just figured it out. I saw an article in the paper about Prince Sutarts being born and he told me he was from Ireland and he said he was "sort of" a seer. Also the time turner was on his desk. It all just came together."
"Well, I am glad he didn't tell you because he wasn't supposed to yet. I am glad that I don't have to be the one to tell you though. Thank Merlin you already know," Dumbledore said almost like he would be frightened of telling Harry. Harry didn't know what to say. "Harry, I have had this amulet long enough. You haven't had it at all it seems and there is so much that can be done with it. We still have time to prepare. Why don't you take it."
"Thank you sir," Harry said
"School is almost over and I believe you know now that you will be staying here for the time being. Sirius has to stay along with Remus and Snape for Order business."
Harry nodded.
"While you are here you will be with Sirius and Remus. You will also be practicing on making potions with Professor Snape. They cannot take points from you but they can give you detention. You can eat in the great hall or in Sirius' quarters. You can stay in the added room there. I am pretty sure you won't be bored."
"Yes sir, Harry said.
"Now about the amulet-"
"Professor, I remember that it has the power to detect evilness and love. Do you know how to do that?"
"Of course. Just put it on your neck and think hard about whether you want it to detect love or hatred. You will see that it works great. Make sure you do not lose this Harry. The safety of the world depends on it."
"I won't sir." Harry put it on his next and concentrated on detecting love. Suddenly his heart felt so...full. He couldn't describe the feeling. He guess it was...love. It was the love Dumbledore felt for him. Harry realized his eyes were closed and he opened them and looked at the old wizard.
"I...think it works," Harry said.
Dumbledore smiled.
"I knew it would."
Harry had a new found respect for his headmaster. The old wizard actually loved him and he knew just how much. It almost hurt. Harry left to go try out the amulets power on other people. The first person he came across was...Draco Malfoy.
"Potter, where is your mudblood and weasel?" He sneered.
"Why do you care Malfoy. Surprising to see you without your cronies. Did they realize they were in love with each other and NOT you?"
Harry decided to work his amulet to see if Draco was indeed evil. When he concentrated he was surprised to sense...indecision? Next was love...certainly the slimy Slytherin didn't love him but why not give it a try?
There wasn't love. Harry wasn't expecting that but there was something else. There was respect. Draco Malfoy respected Harry Potter? Harry was shocked to say the least.
"Potter get ready to see the insides of your eyelids-"Draco said and just as he put his wand up and was about to mutter something Dumbledore stepped out of his office.
"Hello gentlemen. What are you two up to?"
"Nothing sir," Harry said.
"We were just...talking." Draco finished.
"Very well. Harry can I speak to you for a moment?"
"Yes sir," Harry said and Malfoy strode away.
"Please try to not kill each other Harry. There is more to him than you know."
"I know. It is just..."
"So tempting?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yeah," Harry said guiltily.
:Just remember that not all Slytherins are evil Harry."
"I know sir."
"Okay then. You can go."
Harry found Hermione, Ron, Remus and Sirius in the great hall sitting at the Gryffindor table. Remus and Ron were in the middle of a chess game.
"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed.
"They won't stop. They have a bet going," Sirius said.
"Who knew Professor Lupin bet!" Hermione said happily.
Harry laughed and sat down on the table next to Sirius. Again Harry concentrated on hatred and evilness.
None.
There was no hateful or evil thoughts.
Time to test love.
Harry was overwhelmed by the amount of love he felt through the amulet. Everyone there loved him so much. He never realized just how much until then.
"Harry, are you okay?" Ron asked as Remus searched for a place to put his trapped Queen.
Harry suddenly snapped out of his reverie and smiled.
"Never better. Whose winning?"
"I am of cour-hey!" Ron yelled as Remus took his Queen. "How did that happen?"
"Always be on the look out Ron," Remus said with a smirk.
After an hour of joking around and watching the two very competitors play Ron won. Lots of gloated went on and Sirius made fun of Remus of course but it was a good time. The week ended and it was the night of the leaving feast.
"It is hard to believe that another year his gone," Dumbledore announced up at the podium. "So many of you have grown, matured and you are all on your ways to becoming great witches and wizards. I am happy to announce Gryffindor the winner with 372 points. Congratulations. Now, I want you all to enjoy your last night at Hogwarts. Tuck in!"
Food appeared and everyone began to stuff there faces. This had indeed been a hectic year. So much had happened and it was hardly over. Harry had become a werewolf, Snape found out and was actually civil towards him, Remus found out, Hermione and Ron became Animaguses for him, Sirius was alive, he talked to his parents, he hated Dumbledore, he got the amulet, he liked Dumbledore, Malfoy respected him, and the school accepted him as a werewolf. Yes, most would agree that this year was one of the more different ones. Usually Harry had to deal with Voldemort each school year. This time he didn't though. There was still...one more day but the summer was when the real confrontation would happen.
Harry walked with Hagrid and Sirius to the train station to bid Hermione and Ron goodbye.
"We'll see you soon Harry. You're with people who love you now. You don't have to go to the Durlsey's," Hermione said and gave him a big hug.
"Be sure to write and I will see you later in the summer," Harry told them while giving Ron a hug too.
"We'll write every day Harry. Do me a favor though will you? Annoy Snape as much as you can."
"I will help with that!" Sirius said and Harry nodded in agreement. The train whistle blew and the stragglers hurried onto the bus.
"Bye Harry!"
"Bye Mate!" Ron said.
"Bye!" Harry said and waved along with Sirius and Hagrid.
"Okay Harry, ready to start planning things we can do to Snape?" Sirius asked.
Harry sighed. It was going to be a long summer but a good one at that.
