"Yep. He's the one who sent me here," answered Lupin.
"Why did he do that for?" asked Harry again.
"The first question you need to ask is what is happening ," replied Lupin.
"What?---Oh--ok--what's happening?"
"Remember last year when you and the other kids saw Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries? Well, after that, he of course escaped again. Voldemort has already sent his death eaters all over London looking for you. They actually don't know where you live. He told them to ask everywhere they go. He doesn't care what happens to the poor innocent muggles, he doesn't care if they die. He's got to catch you, Harry. So, his death eaters obeyed him of course and are now swarming all around England. Quite a few of them have the idea that you might be living in Ireland, but they are wrong. As long as Mad Eye and I come to visit you every now and then, you'll be perfectly safe. But still, Harry, we can't be so sure. So, I've brought this to give to you." He gave Harry a dull black sword that was at least two and a half feet tall.
"What's this for?" queried Harry.
" Always keep this sword with you Harry, along with your wand. Never go anywhere without it."
" But, what does it do?"
"This sword is supposed to shine yellow whenever danger is around you Harry. You can also use it to kill your enemies. Just one good stroke across the centre of the neck, and your enemy will be dead in no time. Only..." stopped Lupin.
"Only what?"
"That one good stroke is not enough Harry. You have to add in your strongest feelings with the hit and believe in yourself. Trust yourself, and you'll succeed. Just as you did with the Patronus charm in your third year."
"So, what about Voldemort? Why is he still after me? I thought he won't dare come near me after he met Dumbledore? I thought Dumbledore was the only man he was ever scared of," said Harry.
"Harry, when are you ever going to understand? Voldemort will never stop chasing after you until you're surely dead. Haven't you seen enough? You saved the Philosopher's Stone, and yet, he returned in your second year as the memory preserved in the Diary and lured you down into the Chamber of Secrets. Still, he came back again in your fourth year. You saw him gain a body of his own. He could've succeeded you know. He almost killed you with the Avada Kedavra curse, had not Priori Incantatem took place. Again, you saw him in the department of mysteries last year. He nearly killed you again, had not Dumbledore show up at last. Voldemort was very disappointed that day, when the prophecy was smashed. He could've destroyed it, you know. But, like always Harry, you left him no chance, and you were always good at escaping from trouble. But, even now, Voldemort is still after you, Harry. I'm telling you, he'll never rest until he kills you personally. I guess we have nothing to do, but wait and see what fait hides for us."
"Well, let his fellow Death Eaters come. I'll get rid of them if it's the last thing I do in my life. I'll never rest too, until he's gone for sure. Last year, when Dumbledore sat with me in his office, he explained that one of us is going to die in the end. I'll wait and see, if it's me who's going to die, then I'll make sure I get rid of that nightmare before I'm gone."
"Harry, don't think like that. You'll be safe. You've got all the members of the Order on your side,"
"The Order? You mean the Order of the Phoenix? It still exists?" asked Harry.
"Well of course it still exists my dear boy. Isn't it our responsibility to decrease the number of death-eaters in the magical world as much as we can? Isn't it our job to make sure you're safe?"
"Sorry, didn't---didn't quite think that the order---still--existed after what happened---I thought they've been terrified that---that---they couldn't risk their own lives---for my safety"
"Oh it's ok Harry. The members of the Order are ready to die instead of leaving you without protection. Oh, is that the time? Blimey, I need to get back to Grimmauld Place, you know, our headquarters. It's been a pleasure meeting you Harry again, I'll come by anytime next week, or perhaps, Mad Eye will. Well then, goodbye" and with a small pop, Lupin disappeared in the thin air.
Harry has never had a night like this before. He had someone Apparate in Privet Drive before, like Dobby, and Mundungus Fletcher, but never a teacher before. Still, Harry has been pleased to talk to Professor Lupin again. He felt lonely for two months now, even though the Dursleys were acting better than ever. Harry turned off the lamps, and headed straight to bed. He was now extremely tired, even though he had several minutes of joy talking to Lupin. He took off his glasses, and put them on the table next to his head. Harry closed his eyes, and immediately fell asleep.
