Harry was waiting in the hallway. Cho was still in the Room of Requirement, and Harry couldn't get in, so he decided to wait for her to come out. He looked at the map and watched her little dot moving back and forth across the room. Suddenly, the dot went running for the door, and Harry hid the map in his robes. Cho came out into the hallway and looked at Harry. "Harry! What are you doing here?" she asked
"I thought you were in there."
"What do you want?"
Harry noticed that she was very jumpy. "What's wrong?" he asked
"Nothing. I'm a little -" She turned and started walking down the hall.
"A little what?" Harry asked, following her.
She spun around quickly. "Nothing! Just go away!" She went running down the hall.
"Cho!" Harry chased after her and caught her before she went down the stairs. "What is it?" he asked, turning her around.
"Nothing... I need to be alone for a little." She went running down the stairs. Harry was extremely confused. What was wrong with her?
"What was that about?" Harry heard from behind him. He looked back and saw Neville.
"I dunno. She just... flipped out at me. What are you doing up here?"
"Going back to the common room. I had a meeting with Professor Trelawny." The two of them started walking down the stairs. "Why aren't you in that class this year?"
"I got out on the first day."
"Oh... well I have to get going. See you later Harry." Neville went running down the stairs, and a piece of paper fell out of his hands and onto the steps in front of Harry. Harry picked it up and looked at it. It was a note from Dumbledore, saying something about a meeting with him Sunday afternoon... Neville pulled the piece of paper from Harry's hands. "Thanks." Neville said as he was going downstairs. Harry knew why Dumbledore wanted to meet with both of them. He wanted to tell Neville about the Prophecy.

The next day around noon, Harry was going down to the Great Hall for lunch. He wanted to eat before he went to the try-outs. He looked up and saw Dumbledore and Neville coming toward him. "Mr. Potter come with me please." Dumbledore said, and Harry followed. The three of them went to his office. "I brought you both up here because I need to tell you something very important. Harry already knows, but it is time for you to know too, Neville." Dumbledore brought out his pensive. Harry didn't think he could stand to see it again... that stupid prophecy that had damned him before he was even born...
"Sir do you mind if I stand outside?" Harry asked
"Not at all. I understand completely. I will call you when I am done explaining everything to Neville." Harry walked out of the office, closing the door behind him. He made sure that he was far away enough so that he couldn't hear what was being said. After about ten minutes, Harry heard Dumbledore calling him, and he went back into the office. Neville looked like he'd just seen a ghost. "Now that you both know the situation, I know that you'll understand when I ask you both to come to my office tomorrow for Occulmency?" They nodded. "Good. Neville if you need anything else explained, I'm sure Harry would be alright telling you. You two can leave whenever you're ready." Dumbledore got up and left his office.
"Harry what am I going to do!" Neville said
"Well now you know why I'm not always so cheerful."
"But... you've fought him before! You know what it's like! All I know is that he's really bad and killed almost everyone! If I ever had to fight him I'd probably faint or die of a heart attack or -"
"Neville!" Harry interrupted. "Calm down. As long as we're with Dumbledore, we're okay. Voldemort's scared to death of Dumbldore."
"How can you say his name that freely? I can't even think about his name without being scared."
"I guess I was never taught to be afraid of it. It's just a name."
"Yeah the name of a really evil bad guy out to kill everyone and everything! And he's after us! Well... I mean he's after you, but I guess if he saw me he'd want to kill me just as much!"
"The only reason he wants to kill me is because I defeated him. He wants to prove to everyone that he wasn't beaten by a 'child'." Harry explained.
"So then what does this got to do with me?" Neville asked
"You're the second child born at the end of July. It's just that he decided to kill me first instead of you."
"So... the only reason he wants to kill us... is because we're supposed to be more powerful than him?"
"That was the original plan, until I de-powered him."
Neville shook his head. "I can't be more powerful than him. I still can't levitate a stupid feather..." He looked at Harry. "But you... you can teach me. Like last year, with the DA. That actually helped more than any DADA class I've ever taken."
Harry smiled. "Well I was thinking about not doing that this year, since we have a better professor, but I think I can make an exception."
Neville smiled. "Thank you thank you thank you!" He got up and walked toward the door. "Thanks so much Harry. That makes me feel so much better." Neville opened the door and left. Harry looked down at his watch. It was 2:00! Ron's going to kill me, Harry thought. He went running out of the room, but he stopped in front of the Mirror of Erised. He wanted to look in it again, to see his parents again. Maybe it will be different this time, he thought. But as Harry started walking toward the mirror, he realized that he didn't want to know what his heart's desire was.

Harry ran out onto the quidditch pitch. "Thanks for being on time Harry." Ron said.
"I had a meeting with Dumbledore. He stopped me in the hall."
Ron sighed and looked up. Four people (it was hard to tell if they were boys or girls) were flying above them. "We've got it down to those four. So I figured, that if we sent Ginny up there, then maybe we could find the two best players." Ginny was sitting in front of them with her broom at her side. Harry nodded.
"Sound like a plan to me. Who are they?"
Ron picked up a paper. "There's three girls and a boy. Amanda, Jessica, Holly, and Tom. Amanda and Jessica are third years, and Holly and Tom are second years."
Harry looked up at them. "They're pretty good for beginners."
Ron nodded. "Hermione wanted to try out, but I wouldn't let her. She can't even fly. How does she expect to play quidditch if she can't fly?" Ron looked up at the four soon to be chasers and motioned them down. After they had landed, Ron said "Ok now we're going to put you up there with Ginny. We'll see how you do. Then we'll get the rest of the team up there." Ginny mounted her broom and flew up. The four new chasers followed.
"I'm going to go get my Firebolt." Harry said to Ron. Ron nodded and Harry headed for the broom locker. By the time he came back the new chasers and Ginny were done. Ron and Ginny were talking privately. Ron motioned for Harry to join them.
"They're all pretty good." Ginny said. "But the best is Amanda. She's defiantly played before. And Tom's really good too."
"Well let's get them up there, so we can see how they do when the whole team's with them." Ron said. He went over to the rest of the team, and Harry and Ginny followed. "We're going to act like this is a real game, only without the other team." He took out the quaffle and bludgers, and handed the snitch to Harry. "Go on get up there." The team flew up into the air. The beaters hit a bludger back and forth, the five chasers passed around the quaffle and tried to score, and Harry threw the snitch up. He caught it and threw it again. After a while, he started to get bored, so he flew up higher and watched the chasers. He could tell who was the best out of the four. One of the girls and the boy were always in front of the others. They worked as a team well. Ron was telling them all to land.
"It's getting dark so I guess we should stop for tonight. We'll let you know if you made the team." Everyone except Ron, Harry, and Ginny left the field. "Geeze you'd think they'd at least help us put the balls away." Ginny went to get the quaffle while Harry and Ron caught the bludgers.

"Harry..."
Harry opened his eyes and looked at the curtains on his bed. Someone was calling him.
"... Harry..."
It sounded a lot like... "Sirius?" Harry said.
"... Harry..."
"Sirius? Where are you?"
"... Harry... stay away from the blue light..."
"What blue light? Sirius?"
"... stay away from the blue light..."
"Sirius?" Sirius's voice had faded, and now there was another one.
"Harry Potter..." Harry crawled back against the wall. It was Voldemort. But how was he in Hogwarts? But then Harry realized that he wasn't in Hogwarts... he was in a...
"Harry?" Ron said. Harry woke up and looked up at Ron. "Are you alright?" Harry nodded and sat up. It was only a dream. Just a dream. "Were you having those dreams again?"
Harry nodded. "Do you know anything about a blue light?"
"Blue light? No, why?"
"In my dream... Sirius said something about a blue light..."
"You heard Sirius?" Harry nodded. "That might mean something... I don't know what, but Hermione probably does. You could ask her." Ron paused. "But then again she'll probably flip out like she normally does..."
"I have to see Dumbledore today anyway." Harry said.
"For what?"
"Occulmency."
"Oh. Is that why you were late yesterday?" Ron asked
"No he wanted to tell..." Harry stopped.
"Tell?"
"He wanted to tell Neville about... the prophecy."
"What prophecy?"
"The one you found in the ministry."
"Oh that... what's that got to do with Neville?" Harry got up and grabbed Ron's arm.
"Come on." He dragged Ron into the common room. They found Hermione and Ginny. "Come on I have something to show you." The four of them walked into the hall and to Dumbledore's office. Harry knocked on the door and went in.
"Mr. Potter." Dumbledore said. "You're early."
"Actually I was wondering if... if you could show them... the prophecy."
"I suppose so." Dumbledore said.
"It would be easier if they watched it." Dumbledore went to get his pensive and Harry went for the door.
"Where are you going?" Ginny asked.
"I'd rather not watch it again." Harry said. He left the room and stood in the hall until Dumbledore called him back. When he went back into the office, the other three looked shocked and scared.
"Ron." Harry said. "That's why I couldn't tell you." Ron nodded.
"I can't picture Neville doing anything like that." Ginny said.
"I know. That's why I'm going to teach him." Harry said. Dumbledore looked up from his desk.
"Well that will give him a better chance of not fainting." Hermione said. Ron stood up.
"Sorry but... I have to go..." he said. He and Hermione left.
"I'll go too." Ginny said.
"Well Harry if that's all for the moment... you are rather early for the lesson." Dumbledore said.
"Yeah I know but... there is one more thing."
"Yes?"
"Do you know anything about a blue light?"
"What kind of blue light?"
"I don't know... but in my dream last night, Sirius said something about a blue light."
"I have never heard of a blue light in a dangerous sense, but maybe we will find out at a later time."
Harry nodded. "Thanks sir."
"See you at two." Dumbledore said. Harry turned and left.

A few hours later, Harry was back in Dumbledore's office. "Well I think we'll let Neville try it first." Dumbledore said. "He's never actually done Occulmency before."
Harry nodded and looked around the office as Neville practiced. The mirror caught his eye again. He wanted to look in it. Just real quick, to see if it's changed, Harry thought. "Harry?" Dumbledore said. "It's your turn now." Harry pulled out his wand and stood up.
Dumbledore pointed his wand at Harry and said the spell. Harry was able to hold him off for about two minutes, before he gave up and fell to the ground. "Not bad." Dumbledore said. "But I was going easy on you. We both know that Voldemort will not go easy. Shall we try again? Neville needs some time to recuperate." Dumbledore hit Harry with a harder spell. Harry could barely hold him off. He saw himself kissing Cho in the Weasley's living room, lying in a bed with Ginny... Sirius falling backward... Dumbledore stopped. "I see that you need more practice. I'll go back to Neville." Harry fell into a chair and watched Neville's pitiful attempt to stop the spell. He lasted maybe half a second... tops... "Alright boys that is enough for tonight. I want you both to try to clear your minds before you go to sleep tonight. I'll see you back here next week." Dumbledore said. Harry and Neville left. Harry stared at the mirror as he walked to the door.
