Chapter 1: A Vision of a rat and a bat
"Wake Up Boy!" A loud an obnoxious voice was heard throughout number 4 privet drive, possibly throughout the street.
Gradually and begrudgingly the boy in question rolled out of bed. The boy in question was rather strange, if it weren't for his weird stick in his back pocket, the books sprawled across the floor saying 'transfiguration and defense against the dark arts, then it would have been the lightning bolt scar on his forehead. This boy was Harry Potter and he was heading into sixth year school for 'Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry'. Harry got up and got dressed quickly and took a long look out his window. He had been cooped up in the house for the first month and wasn't allowed to go outside. 'No thanks to Dumbledore' he thought angrily.
"Boy are you up yet!" the loud voice hollered again from downstairs.
"Yes, I'll be down in a minute Uncle." Harry had to wipe his mouth on his sleeve in disgust, that man was definitely not an uncle to him. In fact Vernon Dursley was anything but, Harry had to just keep reminding himself to wait two more years, then he would be gone.
"Don't get that tone with me! Come down here, we need to talk." Mr. Dursley said in a less than happy tone.
Harry watched as his owl Hedwig cleaned herself silently. She must have felt eyes on her because she soon looked up and turned her head questionably. He sighed and went to rub her neck, 'It's nothing you did girl, I guess I'm just still mad at Dumbledore and the ministry. It doesn't help that my godfather has gone and gotten himself killed. You mind if I sent you to Ron's for a little bit? I need some time alone.' Hedwig gave a reproachful look and ruffled her feathers. She then ascended into the air heading off towards the Burrow.
It was ten minutes later that he headed downstairs to talk to his Uncle.
"Where have you been boy? I called you ten minutes ago."
"I was getting dressed."
"And it took you that long?" he looked at Harry again giving him a angry glance before continuing, "You're Aunt Petunia, Dudley, and I will be going on a vacation, we've just won a sweepstakes, and no it is not one of your kind's stupid tricks." As if to prove his point the brought out the money and waved it around.
"So, what do you need?"
"Petunia and I have created a list of chores we want done everyday, and just to let you know, you are to touch nothing while we're gone."
"Fine by me."
Vernon looked at Harry worriedly. He was wondering why he wasn't getting the usual argument from his nephew. "You are also not allowed to go outside and if we catch word that any neighbors have seen your abnormal behavior then we will sure as hell not allow you to come back here next year."
"Like I would want to anyway." Harry mumbled under his breath unfortunately Vernon heard.
"What was that boy? Don't like our hospitality? Where would you be without us, dead. Not that that is a bad thing, but after you go nothing abnormal for us ever again." he said gleefully.
"Yes, Uncle. I promise to be a good little wiz-"
"Don't say that word in this house! You say anything related to your abnormalities and we'll kick you out faster than you can say normal."
"Yes, Uncle. Shouldn't you be leaving by now?"
"It is not of your concern when we leave." He paused after looking at the time. "Uh, we are running a bit late. Remember don't touch anything, and do anything freakish or you will regret it." With that Vernon Dursley left the house slamming the door behind him and locking it with a key.
Harry heard as the Dursleys drove off, and Harry was alone in the house for the rest of the summer. 'I can't believe they actually left me here alone for the summer. Either they trust me or they're desperate.' Harry decided to work on his homework he had received for over the summer, he started on an assignment for Snape. It was quite dull, but Harry had promised to make Snape see for himself that he wasn't his father, besides to fight Voldemort knowing potions would be a good thing. "If I pass the O.W.L.S' he reminded himself.
He worked for quite awhile on various essays for school and before long he fell asleep. His dreams of late had not been very forthcoming and his visions weren't helpful at all either. He honestly couldn't tell which was a dream and which was Voldemort. His dreams all involved three people Sirius, Pettigrew and Snape. Sirius he knew the dreams of him falling into the veil were haunting, but he hadn't had them lately. The others were when either Pettigrew or Snape talked with Voldemort. Those experiences weren't helpful in the least, as they were very uninformative and dull. It was mainly about Snape making certain potions, none of which Voldemort himself couldn't do, and Peter Pettigrew talking about his failures at things he was told to do. One dream or vision stood out above all others, surprisingly enough it wasn't through Voldemort's eyes, in fact he wasn't even in the same room. His dream was with the two of the top five people he hated most. He was beginning to have another vision with Snape and Pettigrew.
Peter was the first to arrive in what looked like an underground storage room. He was twitching nervously and glancing around as if expecting a troll to come out of nowhere and attack him. He sat on one of the boxes. The box was small, but on the cover it said in bold words Rings, there was a serpentine creatures head on it, it didn't look like a snake however, but a lizard. A noise was heard making an almost apparating sound, Harry's head looked from Peter to the man who had just appeared. Peter jumped up nervously and saluted.
"Serverus, what are you trying to do give me a heart attack?" Peter asked a surprisingly smug looking Snape.
"If only, if only." Snape said shaking his head. "You need to be more aware, if you will be guarding the boy."
"It's the least I can do. I need to make amends, besides have you heard what the Dark Lord is searching for?"
"Yes, and as we said last time it is time to put our plan in action, hopefully one day both Potter and the mutt will be able to forgive you. After all it was all according to plan, you felt it, right? The flow of power being released."
"Yes, I felt it, I can't believe it actually worked. Long have both our families been aware to watch out for the leader, I honestly can't say I'm surprised. If only Lily and James needn't be sacrificed."
"But they had to be, it was the only way we could set Sirius up. You and I both know he would be the only one to not go insane, after you told me about his animagus form I realized he was the one."
"Harry thinks I betrayed his parents though. What am I going to do?"
"You did betray his parents. Potter will eventually see past your faults."
"I hope so, but-"
"Enough of this, don't be wallowing in the past."
"You're right, of course. What's been going on with the order and Dumbledore?"
"We've stopped a few of Voldemort's raids and the like. I'm not positive, but I believe there is a spy in the order."
"You mean besides you?" Peter chuckled softly.
"Yes. Do you know if Voldemort has any other spies within the order besides me?"
"No. I am almost positive if you have a spy it is not Voldemort's doing. Perhaps for the ministry?"
"The ministry? Perhaps. But, I think it is a spy from a different group."
"You can't possibly mean-"
"I do. I have a feeling that it beginning to awaken."
"So soon? This is not good, hopefully the master will be able to train him."
"Indeed." Snape looked thoughtful for a moment then spoke up. "Potter. He is here. Can't you sense him?"
"What? How? Do you mean to say he has heard this whole conversation?"
"Yes, luckily he won't be able to figure out what it means for awhile yet. Potter as I assume you've been listening in this whole time, you are going to have to trust me and Peter here."
"Will we get an answer?"
"No. Potter listen to me neither of us are your enemies, when the time comes you can trust us, more so than Dumbledore. I know you don't believe us, but in time you will. Tell our master when he comes, that two of the royal guard are at his disposal. It is now time for you to leave." Snape muttered an incantation and with a wave of his hand the connection, whatever it may be was terminated.
Harry Potter awoke thinking about what he had just heard, before deciding to think about it later and trying to get back to sleep. He was awoken not an hour later from the sound of someone coming down the chimney and a colorful stream of curses, suggesting that whoever the person was had just gotten themselves stuck. Drawing his wand Harry crept quietly downstairs. He turned the corner heading into the living room, and sure enough there was someone stuck, two someones. One of them called out, "Hello. Is anyone there? We've seem to have gotten stuck. We are not Death Eaters, so please help us."
"Hold on just a minute, I'll unblock the fireplace. If you are Death Eaters however, you would do better to stay where you are."
"Thank you. Once again we are not Death Eaters, what's with people now days blocking their fireplaces, it isn't good for people like us."
Harry unblocked the fireplace and watched as two men came out covered in soot. A man about thirty or so with a regal bearing demanding respect, his eyes showed the truth of how much power he had, he looked similar to Dumbledore in a way, but his white colored robes and age made it sure that it wasn't. The other man however was very familiar looking to Harry.
"Sirius?" Harry asked in shock.
"Hey pronglet, long time no see." At that Harry promptly feinted.

A/N: I got this chapter out faster than I expected, hopefully there will be one chapter a week, but if I don't have time it may be longer. If anyone doesn't have suggestions on what the pairings should be I will probably(eventually mind you) do a Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione. I hope you liked this chapter and thanks to all who read this story thanks even more to those who review. I shall be doing responses to reviews at the end of each chapter.
Jwillams: First reviewer, thanks. Don't worry, Voldemort is definitely not going to be easy to kill, in an upcoming chapter you will see him ally himself with someone. (won't say who or what) I plan on doing a sequel once this is finished doing just that. How was this chapter, any surprises?
