Summary: Harry's last year at Hogwarts has finally come but that doesn't mean things will be any easier for him. After last year's horrifying events the school things that nothing worse could happen. They were all wrong. The prophecy resurfaces and is dangling in front of Harry, held up by the pain from the past, quite literally. As the world is slowly being morphed outside of the safety of Hogwarts the people inside it are finding out that they cannot hide for much longer and that time is as much their best friend now as it is their worst enemy. What is a person supposed to do when they know they have to face the most evil wizard in history and if they're killed then the rest of the world, magic and muggle is doomed?
Warning: More violence then last time. The mentions of suicide, murder, abuse, rape, and blood are much more pronounced then in the last fic
I'd like to mention that there will be A LOT more deaths of characters you recognise and some you won't. If you thought I was cruel and brutal in the prequel to this then I don't know what you're going to think of me after reading this story.
There are some chapters were songs in them but not every chapter will have them in it.
Sequel to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
"Crying does not show weakness, it shows that we are brave enough to let our emotions free."
-The Book of Quotes (something my friend's and I are making)
Harry sat in a shocked silence the rest of the way to Grimmauld place. He had never known Sirius had a girlfriend let alone a wife! And he had a daughter as well! It made sense now why he had trusted her though.
As they finally pulled into the space between number 11 and number 13 Harry asked, "Why didn't Sirius tell me?"
"He didn't know where I was and he had no clue that he had a daughter," she explained as she got out of the car and moved around to open his car door so he could get Nicola out.
"Where is she?" Harry asked.
"She'll be here soon. She's coming with Sarah and Josh," Alyssa explained and led the way to the house that had appeared. It was only then that Harry realized she had been in the fight too. The blood that was on her should have made that obvious.
Now that they were back to a safe place Harry felt the pain of everything that had happened crush in on him physically but he would not drop yet. He had to get Nicola inside to her sister.
"Where's all your stuff?" Alyssa asked lightly.
"In my pocket, Nicola's was all destroyed though," Harry said as Alyssa opened the door.
"Oh, poor dear," she replied with a sigh and told him to wait there. She then ran off quickly to get some help. It was less then a minute later Remus, Tonks, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Mrs. Weasley and Madam Pomfrey came storming into the hall.
"Oh Harry!" Mrs. Weasley started but Harry shook his head no and nodded to Nicola.
"She needs help fast," Harry said. Obviously, after comparing the two, Madam Pomfrey agreed and conjured a stretcher for the girl. After Harry set her on it he heard the others trying to talk to him but the sound waves weren't quite reaching his ears.
He shivered violently and passed out from exhaustion.
Harry woke up, hearing faint voices buzzing around him. He didn't open his eyes just yet but he did take in a couple deep breaths.
"How's Nicola?" someone asked.
"She's fine, she woke up yesterday. She can't remember a thing about the attack at all, which is probably a good thing," another voice said.
Harry forced himself to open his eyes and he found Professor Dumbledore sitting in a chair beside his bed talking quietly to Madam Pomfrey. He let out a light groan to let them know he was awake.
Dumbledore and Pomfrey look at him and Dumbledore said, "Poppy, can you let me talk to Mr. Potter alone for a minute?"
She was about to argue but settled on mumbling to herself about checking up on Granger.
There was a silence then Dumbledore said, "You gave us all quite a scare yesterday. First the Aurors that got there after the fight saw half of your house destroyed then no one could find you. We had thought you were one of the mutilated bodies. It was a great relief to all of us when Alyssa brought you home."
"Why didn't you tell Sirius," Harry said. "You knew she was alive all along."
Dumbledore sighed and a look of regret appeared on his face as he said, "Sirius would try to find her. I couldn't risk that; he needed to stay where I could contact him."
"You mean he needed to stay somewhere where you could keep him locked up! God if you would have told Sirius then yeah, he probably would have gone to find her and he'd still be alive today probably happier then he was when he died!" Harry yelled. "Don't you get it Dumbledore, you can only control people for so long until that control shifts to someone else. What goes around comes around you know…"
"This is true," Dumbledore said after a moment with a deep sigh. "I am getting older as you know Harry. I'll be staying at Hogwarts as long as I possibly can though. I may be a Headmaster, Harry, but I am not the best person to lead us to victory anymore."
"Then no one can," the raven haired boy said. "I was just saying there's only so long you can CONTROL people. Leading and controlling are different things."
Something that resembled fear flickered through the pale blue eyes of the old man and he said, "What would you prefer doing out of those two? Controlling or leading?"
"Leading," Harry said right away. "Why? You almost looked scared."
"I had this conversation years ago with another student," Dumbledore explained. "He told me he'd rather lead but I could see it in his eyes, he wanted control of everything."
"Tom Riddle," Harry said. "What do you see in mine?"
Dumbledore smiled and said, "I can see honesty. Unlike Tom you let people close to you can you care about others. That is the difference of what makes you grey and makes him black."
"Grey, sir?"
"Nobody can be entirely good and there are very few who are entirely evil," Dumbledore explained. "There are some black wizards but not that many."
"Was Vulcan a black wizard?" Harry questioned.
"Ahhh the now famous Half Blood Prince. What do you think Harry?" Dumbledore questioned.
"I don't think he was ever evil sir," Harry said, "Because he died for his family."
"Exactly. Vulcan was not an evil person because he sacrificed himself for the ones he loved. That's the difference between you and Voldemort as well. You have loved ones, he doesn't. Hold those you love close to you Harry," the old man said.
Harry closed his eyes then said, "They don't trust me. They're scared of dying and don't want anything to do with me."
"Pardon? Oh the lack of information in letters. It is not what you think Harry. I requested them to keep their notes short and without many details in case it was intercepted. I am not trying to hide anything from you but from those that could use it against us," he explained. "Now I believe a certain young woman wants to see you. We only got her to leave for lunch about a half hour ago."
A smile appeared on Harry's face as Dumbledore walked out of the room. A minute later he heard someone running down the hall and the next thing he knew he was out of breath. Someone had literally thrown herself on top of him and was hugging him tightly.
"Hermione," he gasped out. "Can't breath."
"Oh I'm so sorry," she said in a slightly high pitched voice as she got off of him and moved beside him and helped him into a sitting position. "Are you ok? Does it hurt anywhere?"
He smiled lightly at her then a look of worry passed over his face and he said, "I'm fine, I was just exhausted. Are you ok?"
"Of course I'm ok, I wasn't the one attacked," she said with a note of hysterics catching in her voice.
He got an odd look on his face now and he said, "Didn't they tell you?" His eyes flickered over to the door where Dumbledore stood. He shook his head no and turned and walked down the hall.
"Tell me…oh about Nicola? She's fine, don't worry Harry," Hermione said with a bright smiled.
Harry loved seeing her happy like she was and he knew what he was going to have to tell her next would kill her but he knew it was better she find out about it now rather then later on.
"They're gone Hermione," was all he said.
She stared at him oddly for a minute then said, "The Dursleys? Oh Harry I know you didn't like them that much but that's terrible."
He sighed. She wasn't making this any easier. "Yes the Dursley did die. Well except for Dudley but that's not what I'm talking about."
Hermione studied his face for a minute then asked in a sudden scared tone, "W-w-who Harry?"
He stared at her for a minute before saying, "Your parents, your sister, your brother. All of them, they're all…dead…"
Hermione stared at him as if waiting for him to yell out April Fools or something like that but when he didn't he cracked. Tears starting welding up in her eyes then she suddenly burst out crying. She knew herself to Harry and started sobbing onto his shirt.
Her sobs were heard from outside the room and they heard running come down the hall and Ron came in. He looked at Hermione and then at Harry with confusion.
Harry shook his head and hugged his girlfriend tightly. He breathed in deeply and took in her scent in. She smelt like vanilla and he could sit there for hours just hugging her if it wasn't such a sad moment. He noticed her light brown hair was longer then when he had last seen her and it had been straightened but aside from that she looked the same.
He looked up at Ron and saw his friend hadn't stopped growing yet. He was probably a good two or three inches taller then Harry was. His hair was longer and straighter. He also seemed to be filling out more and wasn't as awkward looking as he had been before.
"M-my mom and dad, they're gone?" she asked after a moment and looked up at Harry with tearstained cheeks, still hoping it was some sick kind of joke.
"I'm sorry Hermione," was all he said, sending her into yet another wave of tears.
Ron's dark blue eyes filled with compassion and he said, "I'll tell mum that you won't be down for breakfast, alright?"
Harry nodded as he continued rubbing her back. Ron stared at the two for a minute then went downstairs to talk to his mother. They hadn't all even been together for half an hour but it felt like they had never left each other's sides.
He could hear Mrs. Weasley yell from downstairs, probably about him needing food on his bones or something but she silenced soon enough. He expected that neither Dumbledore nor Alyssa had told them the bad news yet.
"I'll have to tell Nicola," Hermione sobbed out, "When she wakes up again. She can't remember anything that happened."
Harry kissed her forehead and said, "Calm down Mione. I know it hurts, a lot, but just calm down. You're not helping yourself any."
"I just can't believe they're gone," she said.
Harry continued to rub her back, hug her and kiss her until she fell asleep. He laid her down beside him and laid back on his pillow himself. He stared at her and kept an arm around her before falling asleep himself.
The next time Harry awoke it was the next morning. Looking beside him he saw Hermione was still there. They had both slept all day and all night long.
After rolling out of bed he saw that someone had enlarged his things for him again. Grabbing some clothes he walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower. He was well aware of the fact that he hadn't showered in nearly three days and he hadn't eaten in just about the same amount of time. His stomach was grumbling loudly and he felt really sick as he finished his shower, got dressed and walked back into his room.
When he got back in there Hermione was all ready up. She was wiping her eyes hastily as if not wanting Harry to see the red marks that were left behind from her tears.
He smiled at her and said, "Why don't you go get a shower? It'll make you feel a lot better."
She sighed and said, "I think I'll do that." She got up and was about to walk to her room but Harry stopped her. They stared at each other for a minute before she broke down in tears once again. They streaked down her face and she buried her head in his chest.
He hugged her again and leaned his chin on the top of her head then said with a sigh, "I want to show you something Sirius showed me before fifth year. Come on, we should get something to eat first."
Hermione nodded and took his hand in hers and the two walked down the stairs together. The second they walked into the kitchen Molly Weasley pretty much appeared out of no where.
"Oh poor dears, Hermione you need some food and Harry, you're horribly skinny," she said in a motherly tone, yet it annoyed Harry slightly but he knew it was all in the name of his well being.
He chuckled a little and said, "I'm not that light Mrs. Weasley, I actually did eat this summer."
"Well I should hope so," she said with a huff. "Other wise those Dursleys…well…" she paused, not really knowing what to say, "best to leave the dead where they belong and not disrupt their spirits."
Hermione sniffled a little but sat down at the table with Harry. In less then a minute (literally) each had a large plate of food in front of them. Harry was so starved he pretty much inhaled his food but he noticed that Hermione only pushed hers around her plate.
He sighed and moved one of his hands on top of hers, causing her to look at him curiously. "Eat something," he said, "Or you'll make yourself sick."
She said nothing but wiped her eyes with her other hand then used it to pick up a little bit of food and eat it.
Once Mrs. Weasley was satisfied that they had eaten enough she allowed them to leave. It was obvious that she was the ruler of the kitchen and nobody argued with her when it came to that.
"Come on," he said with a smile and was about to lead her away when there was a crack and two red headed figures appeared in front of them.
"Jesu---FRED! GEORGE!" Harry yelled at them from shock.
"Harry mate, nice to see you," one of them said and shook his hand.
"Glad you're here, now mum will bug you instead of us," the other agreed and shook his hand as well.
"Thanks guys," Harry said and rolled his eyes. "How's your shop doing?"
"It's going…"
"Absolutely great!
"We do need our great investor to come in and…get a few things."
"After all, Hogwarts needs a little bit of cheering up this year," the other finished.
Harry smirked then said, "I doubt I'll be able to go there myself but we can talk about it later and you guys can bring me back stuff. Don't worry, I'll pay for it. Now I've got to go, promised to show Hermione something Sirius made last summer."
"Have fun," one, let's call him Gred, said.
"Not too much fun now," Forge called out and both got wide grins and went in the opposite direction of where Harry and Hermione were going.
Hermione's face turned beat red at their joke but Harry chuckled at it then continued pulling her along. Finally he got to a part of the house Hermione had never been in before.
"Where are we?" she asked curiously.
"This part of the house used to be a place where the Blacks…stored their items. Last year about two weeks after I got here Sirius finished this and showed me it, it's really cool," he said and opened a door.
"Are we outside?" Hermione asked with shock as she look around.
"No, the ceiling is like the one in the Great Hall and the scenery is enchanted but it's enchanted to look like that all the time instead of changing. Remus showed me how to do that last year. It took Sirius nearly a month and a half, even with Tonks' and Remus' help."
"So what exactly is this room?" she asked.
Harry grinned and said, "Here's the best part, it's an indoor pool."
"THIS?!" Hermione yelled, his voice echoing as she looked around. The ceilings were high up and had a bright blue sky with white puffy clouds and a fake sun was the light in the room. There was bright green grass and many tall, amazing looking trees of many varieties. There was a tall, smooth rocky cliff and a water fall poured down it into a large lake. "This is an indoor pool?"
"Amazing isn't it?" he said with a smirk. "I thought maybe you would like to come here instead of taking a shower. There's also a normal bathroom next door that look's like the Prefect's one at school."
Hermione didn't say anything but he felt her grip on his hand tighten. A wide smile appeared on her face and she said, "It is amazing. I'm going to go get my bathing suit!"
"If I'm right there should be some in the changing room," he said.
"Where's the changing room?" she questioned.
"See that carving over there on that big rock, how it's the sign for female and the one over there is the sign for male, they both have door knobs on them and the changing rooms are inside. Sirius didn't want to ruin the look by sticking a wooden door anywhere," he explained.
Her smile widened and she pretty much ran to the girl's changing room. Harry had to smile at her antics and was glad that she was happy again. He decided that even though he already had a shower a swim in a pool…or indoor lake, would be great.
He went into the male's changing room and found a pair of forest green swimming trunks and put them on. Once he went outside he waited by the lake for Hermione. Finally she came out with a dark purple bathing suit on with her hair in a ponytail. She also carried two towels over her shoulder.
"Why two towels?" he questioned curiously.
"Because I knew you'd forget yours," she explained and tossed one at him, getting it on his head.
Harry took it off and smirked at her. Her brown eyes widened and she said while backing up, "Don't you d-ARE!!"
There was a loud splash as Harry tackled her into the lake-pool. They both resurfaced and if looks could kill Harry knew he'd have been dead along time ago. The glare didn't last long on her face before splitting into a large grin when she really how silly he actually looked. His hair was flat down on his head and the smug look on his face was enough to make her burst out in laughter.
Harry smirked again and quickly dunked her under the water once again. They continued goofing off like that for the rest of the morning.
"What were you two up to?" Ron asked his two friends as they walked into the room at lunch time. Both of them had soaked hair and they were both laughing and talking animatedly.
"Swimming," was the only answer they offered to their friend, who rolled his eyes and decided he'd rather not know.
"So how are you Ron?" Harry said as he and Hermione sat down on a couch across from the chair Ron was sitting in. "We never got to talk earlier."
"I've been fine, much better then last summer," he said dully. A year ago, as of last week, Ron and his family had been taken captive by Voldemort. They had stayed in his prison until Halloween when Harry fell into a coma. Ron had been trying to communicate with him in his dreams but it wasn't until then that Harry actually got the chance to hear what Ron was trying to tell him: their location. He had been muttering it in his sleep apparently and Dumbledore had sent people to get the Weasleys.
Not everything turned out to be a 'Cinderella' ending though. In the battle at St. Mungo's were the Weasleys had been captured, Bill Weasley had been severely hurt, Charlie Weasley had been killed and Percy Weasley had committed suicide when being held captive.
Needless to say this summer was turning out to be a much more enjoyable one for Ron and his remaining family.
"How's everyone been?" Harry questioned casually, shaking the terrible memories out of his head and bringing up another topic.
"Remus and Tonks have been by lately and they seem to be keeping up good," Ron replied, "They'll be here at dinner I think. Dad's been at work a lot, he's helping to try and figure out who murdered Madam Bones. Mum, as always, is the Queen of the kitchen. Fred and George have joined the Order. Bill's been busy doing secret stuff and a lot of people have been going back and forth. It can be really annoying sometimes actually."
Harry chuckled lightly and said, "I don't doubt it."
"So," Ron said with a sheepish smirk. "Did you finish the homework for the classes we share? I already asked Hermione and she won't help me."
Harry laughed and Hermione scowled at Ron. "What classes do you have again?"
"Defence, Transfiguration, Astronomy, Charms, Muggle Studies, Care for Magical Creatures, Divination and Herbology," Ron said.
Hermione's eyes widened and she said, "That's only eight classes!"
"Hermione, they said five was the least we can have," he replied rather dully. "I'm taking three more so you should be amazed as it is. So Harry, will you lend me yours…not to copy but just to compare…well to get inspiration…ok yes to copy but in my own words."
The raven haired boy laughed and said, "Sure Ron, I'll get my stuff later."
"Harry!" Hermione scowled.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"Honestly…some things never change," she said and crossed her hands in front of her chest.
"Would you want everything to change?" Harry piped up.
Both his friends stared at him before Hermione said, "No."
"It's a comfort to have something things stay the same," Ron agreed whole-heartedly.
The three sat comfortably together until the door flew open and a young woman with straight, bright red hair and dark brown eyes stormed in the room. Her eyes flashed angrily and she said, "Dean sent me another letter! Merlin he's annoying me!"
"What did he say now?" Ron said.
"He's saying how much he missed me and how we're supposed to be together and so on," Ginny growled. Her eyes softened a little and said, "Don't give him a hard time though Ron, he's just a little…heart broken. He'll get over it in a little bit of time."
Her eyes then flickered over to the couch with Harry and Hermione sitting on it. A smile appeared on her face and she said, "Harry! You're alright!"
"Yeah, I was just exhausted before," he explained, referring to when he collapsed. "So I take it Dean's been annoying you a little bit."
"Yeah," she sighed. "But he's getting much better. Doesn't bug me nearly as much as he used to. I think he'll stop soon, I wouldn't mind still being friends with him."
"Sure," Harry insisted. "Dean's a nice guy."
The four of them sat and talked about nothing in particular until Mrs. Weasley called them for dinner. Harry and Hermione were just as starved as Ron was because they had missed lunch that day, being in the pool at the time.
Dinner was a quite occasion. Alyssa was there and Harry just kept staring at her. She noticed this and would look up at him and see is inquisitive looks but turn back to talk to Remus.
Nicola wasn't there but she was awake. Instead Madam Pomfrey insisted she stay in her bed for a little while longer because suffering the Cruciatus curse and then being hit on the head really hard can have terrible consequences.
Harry sighed and dropped his fork to his plate with a clank. Everyone looked at him as he said, "Excuse me." Then he got up and walked out of the room.
Everyone stared at him with confusion and Hermione was about to get up to go after him when Alyssa stood up. She shook her head no and walked after him.
She listened to him climbing up the stairs and followed him until she caught up with him, in the attic. When she got there he was looking through the objects in it. There was a statue of one of the Blacks from the past and it disturbed him a little bit but what he had found, even after only being there for five minutes was a chest with pictures of Sirius as a child with his brother and someone else.
Alyssa walked over and knelt down beside him and stared at the picture and said sadly, "I couldn't get over here. I was working for the USA Ministry of Magic at the time and I couldn't lose my job. I wanted so badly to get back to Sirius once I had heard he escaped. I never thought he did it but nobody believed me. I was his wife after all." A single tear streaked down her cheek and onto the floor.
Harry stared at her sadly then looked at the pictures and said, "Who's that?"
She looked at it and said, "You don't know much about any of your parents or their friends families do you?"
"No," he said after a moment of thought. "I found out my mom had a brother and he had a son, both which are dead now. My dad had a twin sister who is also dead and Sirius had a wife and a daughter. What more is there?"
"Well you've got your parents covered, I'm not going to pop up anything else on you," she said with a smile. "But the rest are a little…well…bigger then you'd thought. The Blacks for instance…Sirius and Regulus weren't the only Black children. They had an older sister named Cassiopeia Black, but we just called her Cassi. She and Sirius were so much a like. Regulus killed her and her son, Orion. Sirius was planning on going out to kill him when we found out from Snape that he had been killed by another death eater. Remus' family…well yes he was an only child and has no brothers or sisters but he too has a wife. I mentioned her you know, Sarah Lupin. I also mentioned someone named Josh, he's Remus and Sarah's son."
"I would have had such a big family," Harry said sadly, "If Voldemort hadn't have lived…"
Suddenly a memory hit him. It was from when he was in his coma last year.
She nodded her head and said, "I just can't...oh Harry...I know you don't know what I'm going through but I can't believe my dad's gone."
"It's ok Kaylee," he said and hugged her tightly. 'How did you know her name was Kaylee?'
"Kaylee Jenna Black," he thought to himself. "I miss Sirius too."
"Is her name Kaylee?" he questioned.
"Yes, Kaylee Maureen Black. How did you know?" she asked curiously.
"Last year, on Halloween, I went into a coma, long story, don't ask. Anyways I went to an odd place in my mind where Voldemort didn't exist and Sirius was married to a woman named Maureen, who looked exactly like you now that I think about it, and they had a daughter named Kaylee Jenna Black but Sirius had died there too."
"Ahhh," she said. "Maureen Jenna, that's what my mom was going to name me when I was born but one of her best friends Alyssa Maureen, had died just before I was born so she named me totally after her instead of giving me half of each her and her friend's name. Confusing isn't it?"
He smiled weakly at her then said, "How come no one told me? Not Remus or Sirius or anybody."
"A lot of it was based on safety Harry," she explained. "We all knew Voldemort wasn't gone forever. Dumbledore put up safety precautions that we all had to fallow until he thought it was time for us to all come back. Sarah and I, along with Josh were sent to the USA before Lily and James had been killed for safety. We were planning on coming back in about a year but as you can tell we didn't get a chance to. I had Kaylee in the US but I never got a chance to tell Sirius. After your…parents died…Remus came to find Sarah and Josh and he found them all right, and was shocked about Kaylee. It was the hardest thing ever for him to tell me that Sirius was in Azkaban and Lily and James were gone. I could see it in his eyes."
Harry sighed and stared at the picture of the three Black children when they were only little kids. He knew it was his fault that Sirius was dead and he knew that there was no point denying that many more people were going to continue dying because of him.
In Harry's mind he saw that it was his fault his family was dead. But these were family secrets he'd take with him to the grave.
Author's Note
Done. Yes I know the wait was longer and the chapter was boring but it was necessary. All the chapters are.
Few things out of this chapter I'd just like to note. In a lot of fics they have Hermione wearing skimpy bikini's and stuff but I just don't think that fits with her personality, at least not in this fic. Also no, they did not have sex, they swam, just to clear it up for what some people might have thought.
You guys are THE greatest, and I'm serious about it.
Well I must be off. Hope you liked this chapter!
Shinji-Higurashi – It was in this chapter but I'll just write again why. Sirius never told Harry because he had no clue where Alyssa was (he thought she was dead in the end) and he didn't know he had a daughter.
Loup3402 – I won't get your hopes up. Peter is bad and he's staying bad. The killing curse…well that explanation comes later on…
Hpfanchrissy1502 – Exactly, that's why I put it in. To prove that the prophecy is indeed talking about Harry and that Voldemort is the only one who can kill him.
Quizgirl – yeah I thought about the whole Dursley thing, it's explained some in this chapter and the next one. No, I'm an H/Hr fan, they'll stay together. Sirius's daughter is important though
Lady Nicole Potter – Damn right I am. Poor you, missing school and all (yeah right). You've got like two characters in the story for you then. Alyssa and Nicola! LOL!
CastusAlbusCor – Hey mostly everyone isn't dead! LOL! But yeah there was a reason it was never mentioned before. It's Remus' story to tell though. If you want I could kill of a few other people though….
Shawn Pickett – Neither can I. There was an explantion? I wasn't REALLY trying to make one. I was saving it for this chapter.
Destined Enchantress – Alyssa? No she won't be. She'll be mentioned mostly for the summer part of the fic. Remus is much more important. Her daughter IS important though
Holimontski – Yup, I'm back! LOL that's ok, its hard to keep up with which author is what nationality. Shakespeare makes me laugh (pantaloons…LMAO! Only people in my class would get that). Yes I am back in my mood for putting cliffies in. Not good for you guys…
HPChic – No Harry couldn't have lived with Alyssa because of the whole blood spell thing…but yes she is Harry's godmother (even though JKR says Harry doesn't have one)
Atrus Valentein – LOL! You like to throw random pies around the room? Ooooh boy. Why thank you. Queen of cliffies…you and Holimontski both have mentioned my cliffs, do I really make that many of them???
Ryan- LMAO! Do you honestly think I'm going to kill all of them? Not everyone's going to die, there are going to be survivors, I can't tell you who though, that'd be too easy. Well actually…
Abigfan – I just wanted her to change her hair colour, it's no big deal. No, Nicola is alive but…yeah…you saw what happened…
QueenWeasel – Yes, you will get to see Sirius's daughter and…I'll shut up right now…I almost let something else slip
Maiden-of-Hope – Thank you
Drake Smythe – Sirius's daughter will be in the next chapter and it depends if I want to screw Harry's life over more or not if they get along.
griffyismyfavourite – Dumbledore explained that in this chapter. Harry will fight more but I am not making him all powerful, that just sucks out all the fun right there! Don't worry, Griffy will be back!
Siriusgalforever – lol…no I'm not JK Rowling but thanks anyway, that's probably the biggest compliment anyone can give me. There are some things that JKR wants to add into her stories that I'm just ignoring, you'll see a lot of them later on in this one
x0ixheartxyouxi0x – Meh, you don't HAVE to be 14 to read this…it's just a warning for the violence later on. Woah, no, Helen Granger was not at Hogwarts. She knew Lily from when they were both kids and she talked to her in the summer. They stopped talking after Lily got married and moved away. And I bet it was…lol
Padfoot's Fire – Thank you
Fluffyfuyck – LMAO. I agree, my grammar and spelling is crap (to put it in simple terms). You'd think my word processor would catch all the mistakes but it doesn't! I explained why I didn't want a proof reader in HBP because I want to see how I do improve and these fanfics are a great way of doing that.
Warlock – I like putting in unexpected twists from time to time (most of the time actually)
Japanese-jew – ok then…thanks I think
CentralsPrincess15 – Yeah, noticed I like my little twists and turns?? I like them a lot so expect more!!!
Amity-Star – Umm…yeah (bout the Dursleys) anyways, yes poor Hermione's going to be breaking, and poor Nicola too…
Kuty kt – I get my ideas from inside my mind…lol. I can't tell you who Wormtail brought back but who do YOU think it was??
Carn – You fell sorry for Nikky eh? Well you're going to hate me soon…I'll just say she's not dying and you'll see why…
HHr – LOL! Is that a good or bad thing? Oh yeah I know on ff.n that your name just shows up as HHr…I don't keep getting your name wrong, the plus sign won't show up!
Rkhiara – Thank you
Tamar Blackflame – I know my spelling is off. Now it's not that I'm stupid or anything, I know the difference between the words you pointed out but I just don't notice them, even after reading it over I still miss some of the makes (a lot actually). Yes I am Christian.
Mark Turnlach – lol, thanks.
Imranl – That's a really good idea but I won't QUITE be doing that. It's kinda funny though because your thinking of something I've got planning that I didn't even drop hints about. O…k…umm yeah I can promise that the 'golden trio' will not break up in this fic (if they get in a fighter later on though (not saying they will, just an example) that doesn't mean they're staying apart) and I can tell you that Harry, Ron nor Hermione will be dying…at least not until the VERY end.
