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

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.

Sequel to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Now I know I seemed to have it planned about who was going to be paired with who, couple wise, but I'm not really positive about it anymore. Tell me who you think Ron, Kaylee, Luna, Dean, Seamus, Lavender and Parvati should be with. Of course they don't have to be paired with each other, if you noticed there's more girls then there are boys. The only couples I'm positive on are:

Harry/Hermione

Neville/Ginny

Draco/Ebony

"No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever."

- Francois Mauriac.

"Harry!"

He looked up as he entered Grimmauld place only to be tackled by a young woman and smothered by her curly brown hair.

Hermione stepped back and stared at him. She was about to say something when Molly Weasley ran into the room and said, "Harry dear, you look a fright. Go take a bath and get changed."

Hermione cleared her throat, catching Harry's attention again then she said, "What's wrong?"

"Where's Kaylee?" he said in a monotone voice. Remus and Sarah were in no position to tell anyone about Josh and Tonks said she had no right to do so, so in the end Harry said he'd do it. He knew the hardest one to tell, since Sarah knew, would be Kaylee. It was going to break her heart.

"In the kitchen, waiting for you and Josh," Hermione said then looked around and said, "Where is Josh?"

He cleared his throat then said, "I've got to talk to Kaylee, I'll come and talk to you later, ok?"

By the tone of his voice, the way he hesitated and the look in his eyes told Hermione all she needed to know. She knew exactly what had happened. Tears built up in her eyes then she nodded and said, "I'll be in the living room, ok?"

He nodded then walked into the kitchen, he saw Hermione take Mrs. Weasley's arm and lead her to the living room as well.

When he entered the kitchen Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna and everyone else that was in there all looked up at him with relief. Although he looked like he had taken a run through hell itself it was sheer relief that appeared on all their faces when they saw he was alive.

"Kaylee?" he said, looking at the girl who he had adopted as his little sister. "I need to talk to you, in private." Given everyone else a look they all understood that he really meant in private so everyone left and went into the living room.

"What's wrong?" she asked curiously.

"It's Josh, Kaylee," he said, not really sure how to put it that her best friend was dead.

"Oh no, he's not sick is he?" she asked, her face going pale.

He chuckled, despite the current situation and said, "I only wish he was. I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, I'm sorry anyone has to tell you this, but he's gone Kaylee. Josh is dead."

She stared at him, waiting for him to yell 'surprise' or something like that, but it never came. Harry closed his eyes, remembering how he had gone through this with Hermione too when he had to tell her that her parents were dead.

"I'm sorry Kaylee, I'm completely serious though. Diagon Alley's been destroyed. You see a sign on one of the buildings fell. I didn't see this; this is just what they told me. It was heading for Sarah but Josh pushed her out of the way and was hit instead. He would have lived, he was physically strong enough to survive the impact, but the thing was something stabbed into him, it was only a tiny wound and he normally would have laughed it off but you see the thing he was stabbed with, was made of pure silver."

Kaylee was shaking badly and she said, "And he's a…he was a werewolf…silver…oh my lord…" Suddenly she burst into tears and fell to her knees on the hard floor. She had been having such a good day before the attack too.

Harry knelt down next to her and hugged her, letting her cry on him. It did scare him to a point to see her crying because the Kaylee he knew was as strong as Sirius had been (well not physically, but that's not the point). Then again, hadn't Sirius been upset enough after his best friend had died to actually attempt to kill one of his former friends?

He heard the kitchen door open and he could hear whimpering. Looking around he saw Sarah there, staring at them with tears streaking down her cheeks. She was shaking very badly and looked like she would faint any minute now.

He nudged Kaylee and she knew what to do. As much as it hurt for her she did know that the blow would have been much worse for Sarah. By nature a mother was usually closer to their child then the father was (if the child grew up with both, or just with the mother) and to see them killed before you were even close to dying, when they were only 18, was worse then being slowly tortured to death.

Kaylee walked up to Sarah and embraced her into a huge hug. Both of them started crying all over again and Sarah leaned her head on the younger girl's shoulder.

Harry noted for a minute that Kaylee was taller then Sarah but that thought snapped out of his head when Sarah asked, "Can you tell everyone else? I-I can't." She burst into tears again.

Harry nodded and got a glimpse of himself before he turned to leave. He was still covered in soot and ashes. Now that he thought about it he was really lucky to make it out of there alive. By all means he should have suffocated in that burning house. Now was not the time to think about that though.

He strode into the living room and stared at everyone. They seemed to be pale and waiting for something. Not a single face didn't look grim.

"What happened Harry?"

Everyone was surprised that Luna had been the one to question him but it was the one they all wanted to know.

"Josh…" Harry said then swallowed the lump that had been forming in his throat and said, "I'm just going to say this straight out, someone else can explain this later because I really don't want to. Josh is dead."

There seemed to be a very heavy silence. Harry felt like he was going to throw up now that everything had calmed down a little bit. He stumbled out of the room and ran up the flights of stairs to his room. He threw himself onto his bed and breathed heavily for a few minutes. As he heard footsteps approaching his door he got up and ran to the bathroom. He leaned over the toilet and threw up. A cold sweat was going down his forehead and he was shaking badly.

"Oh Harry," Hermione said and ran over to him. She knelt down next to him and rubbed his back as he knelt there, breathing heavily.

Once he got up and rinsed his mouth out he said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"You need to get cleaned up," she said while leaning her head on his shoulder, "Go get a shower." He noticed now that he was closer to her again that there were pink streaks down her face where she had been crying and unshed tears were gathering in her eyes. He hugged her tightly then said, "Alright. You go lay down, ok Mione?"

She nodded and sat down, watching him go around and picking out new clothes then going into the bathroom. Once she heard the shower starting she fell backwards and let her tears fall. Too many people were dying, too many people they knew personally. It was amazing that Harry still ahs his sanity after seeing as much as he had.

The loss of Joshua Romulus Lupin had made a heavy weight on everyone's hearts as they got read to go back to Hogwarts. They were not the only ones feeling this pain though. The death count for the attack on Diagon Alley was nothing compared to the one on the worldwide magical schools but it was still enough to feel it.

They were originally going to take Ministry cars to Kings Cross but apparently it was in such a panic that their request for one was denied. The new Minister, Mr. Teather Dae, didn't seem to give any requests Dumbledore sent to the Ministry any second glances. Harry read his speech in the daily prophet about him saying that he planned on running the Ministry his way, and doing what he thought was right for the wizarding world. Harry actually had burst out laughing at this. He thought Madam Bones would have done a great job at getting the light side to unite as one instead of the Ministry supporters and the Dumbledore supporters but there was something about this man that Harry didn't like.

When Ron saw who the new Minister was he had snorted and asked what kind of name Teather Dae was. Mr. Weasley had said he never heard of the man before.

Anyways, the fact that they couldn't get Ministry cars would cause problems, as they had thought at first but it proved to be an easy problem to fix. Alyssa had her car and she managed to get a couple of her other friend's that were loyal to Dumbledore to lend their cars so there was enough for everyone to go comfortably.

Once everything was packed, the element animals had been sent to Hagrid and everyone was ready to go they piled into the cars and heading towards the train station.

"So," Ron said, "You to have to go to the Prefect's compartment?"

"We have to go right away, you know, to prepare what we're going to say to everyone and put all our stuff away but after the meeting we're free to leave. Besides, you're a Prefect this year, it's not like you're going to be left out of the plans or anything," Hermione said.

The 'golden trio' as well as Kaylee were in the car with Alyssa. Kaylee sat up front with her mother and the other three sat in the back. She had her legs pulled up to her chest with a sad look on her face. She let out a choke but nothing else. She had gone oddly quite, and Harry had come to know her as a straight out, loud, girl who wasn't afraid to say what she was thinking, until Josh died.

"Alright guys," Alyssa said as they pulled up to the train station. "We're here."

"Where's everyone else?" Hermione asked, looking around.

"We managed to get through a tight traffic jam back there that they all got caught in. I'd say it'd be safer to wait for them inside of platform 9¾. Moody's waiting in there and if we're not there on time he'll send a whole search and rescue team after us. The paranoid bastard," Alyssa said fondly. Moody himself had been one of her personal instructors and he had taken a fair liking to her. Then again he hadn't always been keen on her boyfriend and then husband, Sirius, when he was younger, so the amount of like and dislike that Moody held when he seen the two together made him balanced, the way he liked to be.

They all grabbed carts as fast as they could then pushed over to the stone wall between platforms 9 and 10.

"Alright Kaylee, Ron's going to show you how to go through it, alright?" Alyssa said to her daughter.

Ron nodded and smiled at her then ran at the brick wall and disappeared through it. Kaylee looked a little stunned as she stared at where the red head had been.

"Just walk straight at it," Harry explained, "If you're nervous do it at a run, or if your Ron and just impatient or a show off do it at a run as well."

She cracked a smile then ran at the gate. Harry chuckled as he saw her close her eyes before going through.

"Alright you two," Alyssa said.

Hermione went in first, at only a walking pace. She was in no hurry and knew she had nothing to worry about. Harry followed her at the same pace with Alyssa just behind him.

"Bout bloody time," Moody growled the second Harry appeared on the magical platform.

"We know Moody, don't lecture anyone," Alyssa said as she appeared behind Harry.

Moody's face twisted into some odd looking smile at her then he said, "The train has stronger protection spells on it this year so no more accidents will happen."

"How will everyone fit on it?" Kaylee questioned him.

"Charms used to make it bigger inside then it is outside. Mighty helpful," Moody explained.

"Oh, well I suppose that makes sense. Wouldn't it also be another security measure? Like if the train did get attacked again there would be more places for people to hide," Kaylee said.

"You'd make a fine Auror Ms. Black, just like your mother," Moody said with approval.

Ron scowled a little then said in a joking manner, "The Mad-Eye that taught us in fourth year said that to Harry and Hermione, now the real one says it to Kaylee, what about me?" He of course had a tone to his voice that showed them all he was only kidding.

"You, Ronald, are too dense," Hermione said with a smirk.

"Crouch said that to you two eh?" Moody said and rubbed his chin curiously, "I believe he would have been serious then. The only better people to ask if you're a good Auror, aside from experience ones, would be the ones you're fighting against. Sometimes they lie to break your spirits but you'd know."

They nodded then Moody said, "Well what am I doing, keeping you here. Get on the damn train!"

Everyone scrambled to the door closets to them then Kaylee turned around and said, "Bye mum!"

"Have a good year dear. Be careful. That goes for you three too," Alyssa warned them all but grinned despite herself.

Ron, Hermione and Harry all said bye to her before going into the corridor of the train.

"Blood hell, this is huge!" Ron said with amazement as he looked around then faced his friends and said, "Right, you guys go to the Head compartments. I'll go with Kaylee until the others come so she won't be alone."

"Alright, see you guys later," Hermione said and started pushing her items down the hall, followed by Harry.

"Well come on the Black," Ron said and led her in the other direction in search for an empty compartment. He was amazed at all the different people there though. Many already had their school robes on and there was many different colours and shields on them. "This is going to be an interesting year," he said out loud.

Kaylee rolled her eyes at him as they continued walking.

"This is really nice, there's a lot of security so nothing of ours will be stolen," Hermione said happily as they put all their things in the Head compartment. There had been a large, comfy couch, a table, several games, and a refrigerator.

"I think we should get everyone else to come there, lord knows there's enough room," he said with a laugh as they went to the Prefects compartment. Once they got in there they noticed two black folders on the table.

He picked up his and studied it. It would have been entirely black if not for the golden Hogwarts crest that was pressed into the leather material and the name 'Harry Potter' in cursive writing underneath that. Hermione's was the same but her's had her name on it.

"I didn't see Cho and Dave with these last year," he said with confusion.

Hermione picked up a sticky note that had been left behind, stuck to the table and she said, "Professor Dumbledore 'discovered' folders over the holidays and was delighted with how easy they made everything so he got them for us."

Harry shook his head and sat down, then said, "He's a real lunatic, that one." He opened his and started looking through it. There were lists of all the teachers, prefects, there was even lists of all the students attending Hogwarts. There were schedules for the Hogsmead weekends, the exams, when the breaks were and everything like that."

"Now this is amazing," Harry said, seriously sounding impressed, until he came across what they needed to tell the prefects this year.

His emerald eyes scanned over it then he said, "You know, I think I want to make up my own little speech. This isn't like a normal year you know, it's going to be different from any other year we've been in school yet."

Hermione bit her lip as she read hers. It was only about following the rules and such. She sighed then said, "You start us off and I'll be right behind you."

He nodded and they sat waiting until everyone came in. As people entered Harry asked them their names and studied their faces, so he would remember them. Hermione said that was what the Headboy and girl were supposed to do but Cho and Dave hadn't done that last year for some reason.

Once Ron (who was the last one there) came in the meeting started.

"Hi, you all probably know me but I suppose I should tell you who I am. My name's Harry Potter and no I am not delusional nor did I brainwash Professor Dumbledore to give me this position," he said with a grin, getting a laugh from everyone.

"I'm not sure if you'd know me but I'm Hermione Granger and we're the Head students this year. We've got our own opinions about this year but there are some things the Headmaster insists we tell you. Prefects are allowed to deduct and give house points but only for very good reasons. No prejudice is allowed, understand me? I don't care if you want to take points off a person you hate just to spite them, don't do it. According to the notes we got Professor Dumbledore knows all reasons points are taken."

"Although he doesn't do anything about it when it comes to teachers," Harry muttered bitterly, thinking about Potions class, "Anyways…"

"You know what the basic rules are," Hermione said. "You all should have got a letter about it. You will all get a notice about when our first meeting is. At that time we'll give you your schedules for when it's your turn to patrol the halls. It will always be in twos and we talked about it earlier and we decided, just so you know in advanced, that you won't always be patrolling with someone from your house. In fact we're mixing the houses around, I hope you don't mind, it's necessary for all of us to try to work together in this war."

"Breath Hermione, breath," he said with an amused smirk. This earned a couple laughs as well. His face then turned serious and he said, "Those of you that were here last year would remember that I argued with the previous Headboy, Dave Vance, about following the rules. Well in general we're all Prefects; we have to follow the rules to a point. But if you have to break them for the better of the school or to help someone then do it. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute myself. Go patrol the train now, and do what you do best."

Everyone smiled and got up then walked out of the room.

Ron, Luna and Ginny looked at them and Harry said, "Go get Kaylee and Neville and come to the Head compartment, it's awesome!"

"Alright, we need to get out luggage then," Ginny said and led the way down the isles back to where their original compartment had been.

Harry led Hermione to the front compartment, smiling all the way. He was in a fairly good mood right now and he didn't want that to be spoiled yet like he knew it would be later on.

Once everyone was in the compartment Ron said, "We would have been here sooner but Kaylee found some of her old friends and she was talking too much."

Kaylee rolled her eyes at him then said, "And who, Ronald, was acting all lovey dovey around a certain Lavender Brown."

Ron glared at her and said, "I was not. I went out with Lavender last year, I'm over her."

"Of course you are," Kaylee said sarcastically.

Harry looked over and noticed that Luna, quiet as ever, frowned deeply when she heard the name Lavender. He raised his eyebrow and nudged Hermione. She seemed to know what he was thinking and whispered, "I think Luna fancies her dear Ronald. Of course he's too busy moping over Ms. Brown to notice."

He chuckled and threw his arm around her and grinned widely.

"You know," Neville said, "If someone had told me that I would be friends with Harry Potter when I was around the age of 10 I would have laughed, but now look at this."

Everyone laughed then Ron said, "Remember in first year Harry when we met each other?"

"You couldn't believe that I was Harry Potter, you had to see the scar as proof," he said with laughter.

"And then Hermione came in looking for Trevor with Neville," Ron said with a grin. "She was talking so fast it was hard to keep up with."

Harry laughed and said, "And she knew more about me then I did at the time."

"Excuse me, I'm right here," Hermione said and smacked his arm, "You were so tiny and cute back then. You were the cutest dork I ever met."

He laughed then said, "Thanks Mione. Oh, remember second year?"

"We didn't even take the train," Ron said with a loud laugh as everyone else listening with sheer interest.

"The car," Harry said with a large grin. That was the wildest ride I've ever taken. I will never forget that. When I almost fell out of the car onto the train, that was one of the fullest memories from that period of time."

"Same here because you almost gave me a heart attack from shock," Weasley said.

"In third year Ginny and I were there though, remember?" Neville asked. "Well after at least. The Dementors were the scariest thing I've ever seen, let alone felt. I remember bumping into stumbling into your compartment."

"Yes and you sat on Crookshanks," Hermione said as her large orange cat jumped onto her lap and curled up into a ball, purring heavily.

"Dementors," Kaylee said with a shudder, "They guard all wizard prisons you know. There are a total of seven of them world wide. One for North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and for some odd reason Antarctica."

"How do you know that?" Hermione asked with amazement.

"I needed it for an essay once," she explained, "For Defence. It was on Dementors in general."

"Oh," the other girl said with understanding. She seemed mildly impressed that the girl could study so hard, or that's what it seemed.

"Anyways," Ginny said. "What about fourth year?"

"Nothing really interesting happened that year, enough things happened during the year," Harry said with a gloomy look.

"Oh, the Triwizard tournament," Black said, "We even heard about that in America. Of course if we do anything the schools Salem is always associated with Maple Merlin's School of Magical Education in Canada, and Subida Esperanza's Institute of Magic. Don't ask me what it's name means, I'm not sure."

Ginny chuckled and said, "You sure know a lot for someone who despises doing work."

"I'm naturally smart," Kaylee said with a grin, "Just like my dad was, or at least that's what my mum tells me. Anyways what happened in your fifth year?"

"That was the year we all really came together, Ron and Hermione had a Prefect's meeting so Ginny and I went looking for a place to sit. We bumped into Neville along the way and the only place we could find to sit was with Luna," Harry explained.

Luna finally spoke up as she said, "Yes and Neville had that odd plant that exploded then Cho Chang came in. Harry liked her at the time so he was very embarrassed." She had an amused smirk on her eyes seemed to be slightly insane.

"And then last year?" Ginny asked.

"Harry got in an argument with the former Headboy and then the train was derailed and attacked by Death Eaters," Hermione stated.

"Wow, you never have a boring year do you?" Kaylee asked.

"Not one yet," Harry said.

"And this is our last year too so I doubt we will," Ron said.

They continued talking about random things and ate out of the mini fridge. Ron seemed thrilled with the idea of it instead of cooling charms.

Finally, as it started getting darker out, everyone was getting bored. Ginny and Neville we're playing wizard's chess, Luna was reading a copy of the Quibbler (upside down of course), Harry and Hermione were talking to each other quietly, laughing from time to time and Kaylee and Ron were seeing who could annoy the other the most.

"Are we there yet?" Kaylee asked him.

"No," he said.

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

He waited for her to continue but she didn't say anything. Until five minutes later, then she said, "Are we there yet?"

This continued on for about an hour until Ron finally yelled and said, "Yes."

"We are?" she questioned.

"No," he said.

By the time they were close to Hogwarts everyone else had gotten high annoying with the two. Finally Hermione yelled, "YES WE'RE ALMOST THERE! EVERYONE GET CHANGED!"

Everyone kind of backed away from her when she yelled.

"Right then," Ron said as they all dug in their trunks and grabbed their school uniforms.

"Girls stay in here, boys will go to the next compartment," Harry said and he, Ron and Neville left.

The four girls got dressed and while they were in there alone Ginny asked, "Kaylee, how did they chose the colour blue for your robes at Salem? From what I know the school's fairly new."

"It is but you see we wanted it based on our flag, but Maple Merlin's already had red and white, the Canadian colours so we stuck with blue and white instead. Of course the Headmaster of their school said our school could have the same colours but our Headmaster insisted that it was ok and we would just get blue," Kaylee explained.

"Well we know there's black (Hogwarts), blue with white (Salem), red with white (Maple Merlin's), baby blue (Beaxbaton) and blood red (Dumstrang (sp?))," Luna said but she wasn't off in her own little world like normal. Instead her bright blue eyes narrowed in Kaylee's direction before she went back to looking out the window.

The young girl gave her an odd look and then looked at Hermione and Ginny, who simply shrugged but had also noticed the glare.

"Are you all decent?" Harry's voice called in to them.

"Yes," Hermione called back.

"Damn," they heard him say then Ron and Neville started laughing as they walked in.

"You know the only one that won't sound bad for is Neville because Ginny's my sister and Kaylee's yours, even though your blood related," Ron said as he sat down between Luna and Kaylee.

Luna let out a loud laugh then said, "Oh Ronald you're so silly." She then shot a glare at Kaylee who looked utterly confused, as did Ron.

He moved a little bit away from the blond girl then said, "You know I've noticed differences in the robes everyone has."

"Really?" Hermione asked with surprise that Ron had actually noticed something.

"Har, har. Anyways yeah I did. The Canadian's robes are a little thicker…"

"That's because from sometimes as early as the end of October until March or April, sometimes even May it's snowing there," Ginny said wisely.

"The people from South America all have lighter robes…"

"For the heat, that school is right on the equator," Hermione said.

"And the Americans are more form fitting!" Ron said as he glanced at the girl beside him innocently.

"Nice for you to notice Ronniekins," she said and pinched his cheek, much like Fred and George would do.

He groaned and said, "Bugger off ya prat. Just like your dad you are."

"Why thank you."

"WHEN you two are done flirting," Harry said loudly, causing the two to glare at him, "The train's stopping."

Everyone got up and left the compartment and hopped off the train as fast as they could now that it stopped.

"Well Ms. Black, welcome to Hogwarts," Harry said and clapped Kaylee lightly on the back and pointed at Hogwarts.

Information I thought you guys might be interested in:

Kaylee Maureen Black – Daughter of Sirius and Alyssa Black. She's very active and has no problem expressing herself or her opinions. She has jet black hair and bright grey eyes. She has her mother's good sense but she is defiantly Sirius's daughter. She's a sixth year student from Salem.

Joshua Romulus Lupin – Son of Remus and Sarah Lupin. He was the older of the Marauder's children. He, like his father, had the curse of being a werewolf. He was naturally good natured but could be a fierce fighter when needed to be. He had caramel brown hair and yellowish brown eyes. He had graduated from Salem but died in the battle of Diagon Alley, saving his mother.

Alyssa Maureen Black – She is the wife of Sirius Black and the mother of Kaylee Black. She's a top ranking Auror that lived in the USA for the past 16 years. She's good natured but she can be really mean at times. Her best friends were Lily Potter and Sarah Lupin. She has curly bright blond hair and bright blue eyes.

Sarah Ilene Lupin – She is the wife of Remus Lupin and the mother of Josh Black. She's a hard working woman, balancing a worth while job as a healer and a mother because Remus is unable to get a job, being a werewolf. She isn't fierce like Alyssa is and is more of the type to prefer to sit back and do desk work then be out fighting death eaters. She has caramel brown hair and yellowish brown eyes.

Nicola Jane Granger – The younger sister of Hermione Granger. She was a Ravenclaw in her first year at Hogwarts but fate seemed to be against her. She got dragged into a fight in the Blood Castle and in the process lost her best friend and before that she got in a fight with her parents, getting kicked out of her home along with Hermione. In the summer though she was in another Death Attack and lost her ability to do magic. She had dark red hair but died it brown and brown eyes.

Mark Bradley Evans – A muggle born boy, the cousin of Harry Potter. He was a Gryffindor in his first year at Hogwarts and his best friend was Nicola Potter. He, like her, seemed to be full of life but destiny had other plans for him as well. At the end of his first year at Hogwarts, like Nicola, he went to the Blood Castle as well and, having true Gryffindor bravery, threw himself between the killing curse and Harry. He had dark brown hair and I can't remember what colour eyes.

Author's Note

Merry Christmas everyone! Consider this chapter (as crappy as it is) a Christmas present from me to all of you, I've been working really hard to get it finished for Christmas. I was going to do a Christmas one shot but I thought people would prefer this and the other one was too 'distracting' to write.

Well here's the reviewers:

Shawn Pickett - Yes Molly is being a little twit but you will see more of her in this chapter, more of the nice (yet annoying) her.

Hpfanchrissy1502 – Don't you worry, more character are going to die! Promise! (like you're excited about that). I nearly freaked when I saw the world 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is complete'. My mom said she hasn't seen me that happy since I knew when the third movie was coming to theatres.

Carn – Yes, yes, I killed Josh, I'm a terrible person. We're going to get depressing chapters mixed with sad, a little bit of humour and romance and anything else I can squeeze into them.

Lunatic Pandoral – Point taken. Yes Harry is going to become MUCH stronger then he is now and he does have some tricks up his sleeve as he is. Trust me on that, there's more to Mr. Potter in this fic than meets the eye.

i-heart-you – you might have missed it, it was only briefly mentioned when I had Dumbledore's little 'thinking period' but because of being hit with the Cruciatus curse and getting hit in the head too hard her mind sort of 'shut down' her door to her magical abilities.

Colourguardbaby1502 – DAMNIT! I forgot to put in what Hermione gave Harry again! To be honest it'd partially because I don't know what she should get him…

Drake Smythe – It's the Christmas Holidays and I'm trying to make Harry's life miserable, does that seem right? LOL! But yeah I guess I am…

Nnythm – Well yes because he's the center of the war, it's only natural that all the bad things would go on around him because he has no way to…escape it. Really if I was in Harry's position I would have lost it back in fourth year…

Chantal-j.t – I found it on but then I went and checked out her website just to be sure and it was there. It's one of her little…hidden goodies. Christmas tree in the mirror…

Aqua Mage – Yeah it is a little odd that Harry didn't collapse then isn't it? Almost like he's, oh I don't know, developing abilities to withstand things that could kill him.

Holimontski – Silver did kill Josh really but you see he's still human, if you push him off a roof and make him land on his head or something yeah he's going to die, werewolf or not. Yeah, no offence but I can tell you don't think straight all the time…

Idiot with reason – LOL! I love reading your reviews, they always make me laugh. Yes I really am the one that controls updating, sorry to say it. Why do I have to torture and kill everyone? Because I want to make Harry's life miserable!

Ryan – Death count isn't high now compared to what it's going to be, but I'll point out a few. Cedric, Sirius, Mark, Figgs, Dursleys, Grangers, Dung, Josh, many more Hogwarts students, Order members and innocent people…and still I say that's not high compared to what I'm cooking up yet.

Benwa – How could I do it? I thought it then wrote it. LOL, kidden…well sort of. Yeah it was nice of Harry to give her some of the things Sirius gave him, but I think I kinda ruined her day…

CastusAlbusCor – Thank you!

QueenWeasel – I killed him because it would be another blow to not only Harry but Kaylee, Sarah and Remus too, plus the others because they liked him too. I knew I was going to get growled at for killing Josh…yeah that little pattern you mentioned there, I seem to…like doing that, don't I?

Jada1010 – Yeah I am going to be 16 soon. Yes I'm a terrible person for killing Josh, but he did have an honourable death. Depends on what you think (about Sarah and Molly). One attribute of mine that I gave Kaylee (who was also named after me) was her short temper, especially when it comes to her friends…

Maiden-of-hope – Yes Hermione does know Nikky won't be coming to school with her this year.

OCdboutHarry1234 – Thank you!

Cory – You're really going to pre-order it this soon? Well I suppose my mom will pre-order it for me soon and get it for me at Midnight on July 16th, just like I made her do when OotP came out. Yes I'm excited, you can expect a fanfic about seventh year from me really soon after I finish reading it (I read book 5 in one day and then wrote two chapters in the same day but ya know…I didn't finish that story)

Aeowin – I forgot about Hermione's gift honestly…twice. Lol thank you, I never planned to take a break from writing! Except for maybe Christmas day…

Atrus Valentein – LMAO! I win! You're so strange you know that? Unlike me (looks innocent). Yeah anyways, there's going to be more and more action in this so I hope the chapters will get better as I go…

Dumblupin – There is a reason I haven't gone back to what happened to Wormy…

Ugly yodeler – LMAO, you thought Josh was sexy? Yeah I did war you about Deaths, and I'm going to warn you again, more people are going to die…everyone's going to hate me by the end of this…

Beth5572 – lol ok than. Thanks for reviewwwwing

ONCE AGAIN MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
