Chapter 1: A Letter and a Dream
Harry Potter was laying on his bed thinking about the things that have happened to him over the past year. It was July 30th, the day before his 16th birthday, The Dursleys had left him alone this summer an it was possibility because of the Order of the Phoenix gave them before the summer started. He had gone into a state of training and morning his godfather, Sirius Black.
Remus Lupin, the last of his dad's friends, would come to the Dursleys' home to help train Harry. But he knew Professor Dumbledore asked Moony to do this.
1st FLASHBACK
"Professor, how can you stand to come near me after what I did?" Harry asked.
"What did you do?" Remus asked, confused.
"Made you lose the last of your friends." Harry said.
"Harry, I'm not mad at you. Sirius did the thing that he though was right" Remus said.
"Yea, but it coasted him his life." Harry said softly.
"No Harry, that's not true." Remus said. "He went to save you because he didn't want to think about the reaction from your parents if you joined them a little to early."
"Alright" But he still felt like it was his fault.
END OF 1st FLASHBACK
2nd FLASHBACK
"Ok, Harry are you ready to take the potion?" Remus asked.
"Yes I am." Harry replied. "I finished reading the animagi books you gave me."
"Alright lets see what form you have." Remus said as he gave the potion to Harry. Harry drank the potion in one gulp and a smokey form appeared above his head. Harry heard a gasp come from Remus.
"What's wrong, Moony?" Harry asked.
"Well lets just say, the nickname that your dad called you when you were a baby will come in handy or we can start calling Prongs." Remus answered with a smile.
"I-i'm a animags stage?" Harry asked, shocked.
END OF 2nd FLASHBACK
He was still in some shock about the prophecy. The one that's been running though his mind since the end of the last year.
It says: 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 A/N this is from HP and the OOTP, pg. 841 (American version)
He now knows he will have to become a killer or be killed and has a power Voldemort doesn't know about. The Order thinks that the power is love because Voldemort cannot understand the power of love. But something inside of him was telling him that it's that and other things, but what were they, he didn't know.
He was positive that he would be able to see his friends for the last month of the summer vacation. He also realized that he was in love with his best friend's little sister, Ginny. But he knew she couldn't love him back because she would be put in danger. But she was already in danger because her family will not join Voldemort.
There was a tapping on the window that knocked him out of his thoughts. It was Hedwig and she had a letter for him on her leg. He got up off the bed, went over to the window to let her in. "Welcome home, girl." He said as he got an owl treat and then he look the letter from her leg and opened it to read it.
Harry,
I miss you. I beat Ron in writing to you today. Dad told us that you're getting picked up sometime after lunch tomorrow and you're going to stay with us in till school starts. So you won't be getting any gifts tonight.
There is a new Order member. His name is James Halliwell. He is going to help Moony and Snape teach D.A.D.A and potions. His 6 year old daughter and nephews( 6 and 4 ½) are going to be here with him. He was suggested to Professor Dumbledore by your grandfather (no one knew he was alive) and when your grandfather found out you live with muggles that hate you, your friends, and your family; he was furious. Hermione says that Mr. Halliwell is the older brother to the Charmed Ones. While he's at the meetings I take care of the kids for him (Ron and Hermione are off doing their on thing, and maybe kissing.) The kids names are Kate (his daughter), Wyatt, and Chris (his nephews). Wyatt and Chris are the sons of Piper Halliwell (James' little sister).
See you tomorrow.
Love,
Ginny
He was surprised that Moony was going to teach D.A.D.A. But then again, Moony did ask him to put the D.A. back together when they got back to school. The other thing that surprised him was James Halliwell. He knew why he was helping Moony in D.A.D.A; because of hi monthly problem. But why was he helping Snape.
He was very happy to find out that he had another family member alive as well. So he couldn't wait to meet his grandfather.
He decided to write back to Ginny.
Ginny,
Thanks for explaining why there will be no gifts coming through the window tonight. I miss you, too. Did Ron and Hermione admit their feelings to each other yet? Because I don't want to listen ti them fight this year.
I know the reason why Mr. Halliwell is helping Moony. But why is he helping Snape?
Can you keep Hedwig with you?
Your friend,
Harry
P.S. When I get there can I talk to you.
"Hedwig, can you take this to Ginny?" Harry asked his owl. She nodded as if she meant to say 'yes'. He tied the letter to he leg and sent her on her way.
He was starting to dread falling asleep tonight because of his nightmares. But he didn't realize tonight was going to be different.
DREAM
A woman lifted a book from a trunk and it looked very heavy. She tuched the book under her arm and closed the trunk. Then sat on top of it so she could put the book in her lap.
The book, covered in brown leather, looked ancient. She blew the dust from the cover and brushed it with her hand. An exotic insignia was imprinted on the leather: three arcs interlocked inside a circle.
She opened the book to the first page and softly read " 'The Book of Shadows.' "
She turned the page and saw a scroll twisting around a pole. Next to it were words beautifully penned in colored ink and decorated with gold. It was an incantation.
She started to read it out loud:
" 'Hear now the words of the witches.
The secrets we hid in the night.
The oldest of gods are invoked here.
The great work of magic is sought.
In this night and in this hour,
I call upon the Ancient Power!
Bring you powers to we sisters three,
We want the power. Give us the power!' "
A strong wind started to blow and the pages started to move. What has this woman done?
DREAM ENDS
'What was that?' Harry thought after he woke up. 'I wasn't expecting that.'
After that Harry went back into a now dreamless sleep.
The Magic School
"Dad got me the job, Piper." A man said.
"But why are you taking my sons with you?" Piper asked.
"Piper, many demons and warlocks have joined Tom Riddle and have given The Source's power to him." A woman said.
"And what does this have to do with my sons, Lily?" Piper asked.
The man answered, "Piper, you and our sisters are needed here to protect the Manor and San Francisco. But Hogwarts needs a set of Charmed Ones to protect innocent people from the demons and warlocks that have joined Tom."
"And protect our son, Harry." Lily said. "Because he doesn't have his power back yet."
"So that's why dad made two copies of the 'Book of Shadows'." Piper said, thoughfully.
"He did!?!" The man exclamed.
"Yes, James." Lily answered. "He's going to give it to Harry as a birthday gift."
"Ok. But look at the time. Some of the memebers are going to pick Harry up." James said. Then yelled, "Kate, Wyatt, Chris, time to go."
"Coming, dad." Kate answered back.
"Coming, Uncle James" Wyatt and Chris answered together.
Ywo boys and one girl came runnig into the room with a man coming in right behind them. "James, do you have s substitute to teach for you while you're gone?"
"Yes, Leo." James answered. "Paige is going to teach my class while I'm gone."
"Ok, James." Leo said. "Wyatt, Chris, be good."
"We will, dad," Wyatt and Chris answered together.
"Mom, Aunt Lily, Dad, please keep Aunt Phoebe and her baby safe?" Chris asked.
"Chris, we promise to keep her safe." Piper said.
The kids hugged, kissed, and said good bye to Piper, Leo and Lily. Then, they grabbed James hand and orb to # 12 Grimmauld Place.
