Couples: HP/HG, KB/RW/LL, NL/GW/DM, GW/DM/EM
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. There are mentions of suicide, murder, rape, and sex (I don't go into details with that). There will also be fighting, cursing (and I don't mean spells) and gory stuff. For now the rating stays AA/PG-13 but later, towards the end, it might go up to R.

Heed this warning if you don't like death: there will be A LOT more deaths of characters you recognise from JKRs books and some original ones. 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

Been along time, hasn't it? I haven't given up on this story I'm just completely stuck on where to go with it. I won't have this done by the time book six comes out, even though the chapters are rapidly decreasing in amount. Yes I'm making this story shorter so I CAN get it done. There are…seven or eight chapters in the end that won't be as long as my normal amount, well actually I doubt if any of my chapters will be that long again because I have very little time to write anymore, but hey, 20 more days of school left so I'll be able to pick up more writing…even though I still have to work…

"Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words, "with great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man."

Hermione's brown eyes seemed distracted as she sat at her desk in Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall looked at her with worry and noticed that Harry Potter was missing yet again. She hadn't questioned it before but she was getting very worried.

"Miss. Granger, can you please stay after class for a moment?" she asked suddenly as the class neared its end.

"Huh?" she said wildly. She had finished her work earlier on and was resting, taking care of Harry wasn't as easy as it'd seem, especially when he continued to get sicker. She saw him between breaks, at lunch and dinner. She would have stayed with him all day, had he not ordered her to return to classes and that he would be fine. She was sceptical but trusted him. Realizing that Professor McGonagall had spoken she said, "Yes Professor."

As soon as the bell rang and all the other students left McGonagall motioned for Hermione to come closer to her then she asked, "Is there a problem dear? You're not yourself lately."

"I'm just not sleeping as well," Hermione said after a moment of thought.

"Does it have something to do with Mr. Potter's absences?" the professor interrogated.

"Yes," she said after hesitating for a period of time, "He hasn't been feeling to well for the last couple of days so I stay up to help him. He told me to come to classes though."

"Of course he did. One thing I can see about Harry is that he doesn't like causing other's pain in anyway and I'm sure, being your friend for seven years now, that he knew you wanted to return to classes," McGonagall explained, "But why didn't you take him to the hospital wing?"

"With Barney? I mean Barnaby. No thanks," she replied stubbornly. A grin flickered across McGonagall's face at the name Barney then she said in her normal serious tone, "Well if he gets any worse Miss. Granger or if you don't think you can keep up with helping him come and tell me. I'll get Poppy to go and see him."

"Thank you Professor," Hermione said with a grateful smile as she headed towards the door. When she was about a foot away she stopped then spun around and faced her Professor again with no trace of the pervious smile on her face as she said, "Professor, can I ask you something? It's not a normal question but it's been bugging me for awhile after something Harry muttered in his sleep."

"Of course," McGonagall replied to her favourite student.

Hermione's brown eyes seemed to look terribly nervous as she asked, "Are we strong enough to win this war?"

"Of course we are," McGonagall said after hesitating, "We have many great fighters and of course we have Professor Dumbledore."

"With all due respect ma'am that's not what I asked," Hermione said, "Are we strong enough to win? I know Professor Dumbledore's strong but he's never been out on the front lines since this started again. Sure he might show up there later on but it's always been Harry; Harry, Ron and I. We might bring others with us but it's always the three of us. Especially Harry. So I ask you again, are we strong enough to win?"

McGonagall's lips thinned and she felt like her throat had constricted. What Hermione said was true; it was always the three of them plus some others that were on the front lines. It was never the teachers, the Aurors or even the Order; it was always them. "That, Miss. Granger, is a question I cannot answer. Now if you asked me if you were brave enough to win, I'd say you were unstoppable and that's a start on strength."

Hermione smiled in spite of herself and said, "Thank you Professor." With that she walked out of the door and headed towards her next class.

McGonagall stared at her retreating form and she said to herself, "Are they strong enough?"

"Harry what are you doing out of bed?" Hermione growled at him when she got back to their common room after classes.

"I couldn't stay in there anymore," he said with a groan, "It's starting to stink!"

"Stink?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. He nodded in reply and she walked into the room and said, "Oh lord, it does smell in here, what is it?"

"Not a clue," he replied then tumbled onto the couch. His face was paler then normal and he was sweating and lightly shaking at the same time.

She gave him a worried look and said, "Harry, maybe I should get Madam Pomfrey."

"What? Why? I'm fine!" he insisted and tried to stand up but a dizzy spell came over him and he fell back down, "OK so maybe I'm not."

"Harry I've been going through books and there's a million different things that could be wrong with you, I don't know how to pinpoint exactly what it is. Madam Pomfrey would though," she insisted.

"Alright, alright, I don't feel like arguing," Harry said and closed his eyes.

Hermione went into his room and an extra blanket and put it over him. She kissed his scar then said, "I'll be back in a few minutes."

He nodded and his mind slipped into blackness as she ran out the door.

"Madam Pomfrey," Hermione said as she knocked on the Healer's door. Being Headgirl she knew where the teacher's rooms were.

"Miss. Granger, what a surprise, is there anything I can do for you?" Poppy Pomfrey asked as she opened the door.

"You're favourite patient needs you," she said with a sigh.

A light grin appeared on the old woman's face and she said, "Alright, I've got my wand with me now lead the way Miss. Granger, I've missed Mr. Potter in the last month."

"I'll bet," Hermione muttered, thinking about all the medical problems her boyfriend had gone through in his lifetime in general.

Hermione and Madam Pomfrey entered the Headboy's dormitory to see Harry in an uncomfortable sleep. He tossed and turned, and sweat was pouring down his face but at least he wasn't shivering anymore.

The former school nurse went to work and started using her magic to scan what was wrong with him. Hermione studied what she was doing to keep her mind of the fact that it was Harry who was hurt, or sick.

After a few minutes Hermione saw a frown passing over the old woman's face and asked with a panicked voice, "Is it that bad? What is it? Will he live?"

Madam Pomfrey held up her hand to silence Hermione then said, "There's something in his blood but every time I try to get rid of it my magic shoots back so I assume it's some kind of potion."

"How did he get a potion in him!"

"Well, in general I'd say he could have drunk it or was forced to drink it but the way this one is so concentrated in his blood it looks as if it was injected into him."

Hermione bit her lip and said, "Can you find out what it is?"

"Of course I can," the nurse replied with an annoyed voice, "But because I can't get directly at it I will have a harder time to confirm what it is, but I can still do it." There was an odd look in her eyes as something underneath Harry's bed, at the foot of it, caught her eye. She was a sharp woman and had no doubt that Hermione would have missed it, but she still caught it.

Swooping down quickly she picked up the tiny vile that was on the floor and held it up. It wasn't very big, but there must have been a fair amount of liquid in it. The bottom of the vile had a tiny bit of the substance still in it.

Madam Pomfrey's eyes widened a little bit before she quickly grabbed her wand and, without saying anything, shot a silver string of sparks out the door and said, "When did he get sick Ms. Granger?"

"I'm not exactly sure," Hermione said after a moment, "Harry doesn't tell anyone anything until it gets really bad."

She stopped fiddling with the bottle and gave Hermione an odd look before saying, "He doesn't even tell you anything?"

Hermione studied the woman's face for a moment before getting a sad look on her face. It didn't stay long though. She quickly cleared the look and said, "It doesn't matter."

A few moments later Professor Dumbledore entered the room followed by Professors McGonagall, Snape and Nickleson.

"What did Potter do now?" Snape hissed acidly.

"Oh do grow up Severus," McGonagall snapped before turning her attention to Madam Pomfrey again.

"Potter," she said slowly, "has a large quantity of poison in his blood. And if I'm correct then it's this type."

All the teachers looked at it and everyone gasped. Dumbledore's face went very pale and his eyes widened as he said, "When did he start to get sick?"

"Three days ago?" Hermione suggested, "Give or take a few days."

"Thank goodness, this poison attacks the person seven days after it's ejected into the body. We still have plenty of time to get it out of him," Madam Pomfrey said with relief.

"The question is not if we could heal Mr. Potter," Dumbledore said suddenly, "there was no doubt in my mind that we could. No the question that is staying with my thoughts is simply how did it get in him? And why?"

"I have the answer to that Headmaster," Snape's slimy voice said. Hermione turned around and a light scream escaped her lips when she saw he was holding up several needles; some still holding the liquid from the vile in them.

Madam Pomfrey pulled up Harry's sleeve up and sure enough there were a couple of punctures on his upper arm.

Hermione gasped as slapped her hand to her mouth, McGonagall's lips went thinner then Hermione had ever seen them, Snape sneered again and but Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey remained straight faced.

"Check for fingerprints," Dumbledore ordered McGonagall right away. She nodded and levitated the needles over to Harry's desk so she could examine them. Dumbledore's eyes turned to Snape and Pomfrey and he said, "Severus get the straining potion ready and Poppy, tie him down because you know very well that this does hurt."

"Yes sir," they both said and went to their work. Hermione stayed back against the wall, her lips were pressed tightly together. She looked both worried and angry.

"Do not fret Ms. Granger, we will have him good as new in about an hour," Professor Dumbledore said with a smile, but that disappeared as he saw the look on her face and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"He never tells me anything," she said with a frown, "Nothing at all."

"Think of it as a punishment for getting him out of bed in the morning," Dumbledore replied with an amused look as her face turned pink with embarrassment.

"Yeah, well I'm going to stop that. I never meant anything by it at all, and Harry knows it. It was never bad, just so you don' think I was abusing him, it was just play fighting in the morning because he would wrestle back with me," Hermione said quickly.

"Don't worry," Dumbledore said, holding up his hand to stop her, "If Harry would have felt like he was being abused he would have left. It's the way he's grown up, and I know he doesn't want to live that way anymore."

Hermione nodded and said, "What's going to happen to him?"

"Well Ms. Granger," Professor McGonagall said in a high pitched voice, "I think we had better put him in some kind of therapy."

"Goodness why?" Dumbledore asked her with shock.

"The only finger prints on these needles belong to Harry Potter," she said seriously.

"He injected the poison into himself!" Madam Pomfrey roared.

"No! He wouldn't!" Hermione yelled, "I know Harry! He isn't like that! He wouldn't try to kill himself, that's a coward's way out. He's too brave for that!"

"Beautiful thoughts Ms. Granger," Professor Snape said oily, "But still he did throw himself off his broom last year in hopes of dying."

Hermione bit her lip and said, "That wasn't entirely his fault. Vulcan was clouding his rational thoughts. Harry Potter isn't a coward! He would not try to harm himself, purposely with intentions of killing himself that is."

"Like it or not Hermione," Dumbledore said quietly, "All the evidence points to him. Therefore after we are done getting the poison out of his blood he will have to be put somewhere where he cannot harm himself."

Hermione was about to argue with him but instead she closed her mouth tightly, wheeled around quickly and ran out of the room. The four teachers watched her disappear through the door with confusion and pity.

"She really doesn't think he did it Albus," Minerva said after a moment.

"Mr. Potter does not tell Ms. Granger enough for us to take her word," Pomfrey muttered and it wasn't spoken of again as they got the poison out of his body.

Professor Nickleson had stayed quiet the whole time that this had been happening. She had simply been observing the outcome of things and storing it in her mind.

All the evidence seemed to be pointing towards Harry attempting to commit suicide, but there was something not right about it. Something she didn't like.

Suddenly it clicked in her head, but no one would agree with her aside from Hermione and a few of their friends, someone had framed Harry so he would be locked up!

'That mean's the attacker is still on the loose in Hogwarts,' Marie Nickleson thought with horror.

Hermione flew into the Gryffindor common room, startling many of the people in there. She looked around quickly and asked, "Where's Ron?"

"He went outside with Kaylee earlier," Lavender informed her.

"Thanks Lav," Hermione said and headed outside.

She twisted and turned through all the secret passages they would get her outside without running into anyone else. By the end of her little journey though she was exhausted! Everything that had happened was caving into her.

"Oh screw it," she muttered and pulled out her wand, "Accio Marauders Map!"

The said piece of parchment quickly flew out of a window and into her hand. Quickly opening it and muttering, "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good."

The lines appeared on the map. She followed them as they created a bird's eye view of Hogwarts. Her eyes quickly spotted two dots titled Ronald Weasley and Kaylee Black. They were stationary by the lake.

"Mischief managed," she whispered and tapped the map with her wand. It cleared off and she quickly started running to where Ron and Kaylee were located.

When she finally found the two a light grin graced her face. They were flirting so much that it was slightly sickening, but she said nothing because she knew that she and Harry used to do that a lot.

"Ron! Kaylee!" she yelled out and the two jump from surprise. Kaylee smiled and waved wildly and Ron grinned like a maniac.

"You'll never guess what Mione," he said to her happily until he saw the look on her face. His face lost the excited look to it and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's Harry," Hermione said angrily, "I went to Madam Pomfrey because he was getting too sick. Apparently there was some kind of poison in his blood that was making him sick, but it wasn't in him long enough to do much harm, they're straining it out of his blood now. But then Snape found needles on the floor, the ones used to put the poison inside of him. His fingerprints were the only ones on it! SO they're going to lock him up in a room when he gets better like a crazy person and I don't think he did it!"

"The bastards," Kaylee yelled angrily, "Harry wouldn't do something stupid like attempting suicide! That's a coward's way out and he's not one."

"Those were pretty much my words but Dumbledore didn't listen, no one did," Hermione said sadly.

The three friends stared at each other, not knowing what to say, and for once, not knowing what to do.

"Harry?" Professor Nickleson's voice rang in his ears.

He looked up at her from the white bed he sat on and said, "Professor."

It had been about a week since the teacher's had discovered the poison in Harry's blood. Once he started getting better the teachers kept Harry in a room with only a bed and in it and would come in three times a day to give him something to eat. Of course they usually stayed in the room until he was done, just to make sure he didn't do something stupid. They also brought him to a bathroom beside the room but there was nothing sharp or dangerous in there at all.

"It's not dinner yet," he said with a bored tone.

"I know, I wanted to talk to you," she replied and conjured a chair so she could sit across from him.

"Trying to figure out why I'm going insane like everyone else has?" he snapped at her.

"No, because I don't think you put that poison in your blood. I think you were forced to do it somehow. But you can easily fight off Imperious, so please Harry, point me in the right direction about what might have happened," Marie said slowly.

"I don't really know. All I remember was waking up one night, feeling a sudden pain in my arm, which was obviously the needle. I looked up and saw a shadow standing over me," he trailed off after he got to there.

"A shadow or a silhouette?" she pressed on.

"Silhouette, it was solid, it was read…and I'm pretty sure it was male," Harry explained, "It wasn't shaped like girl at all."

"Harry did you put the poison in you?" Nickleson asked.

"No," he said seriously, "Suicide is a cowardly thing to do."

She studied him for a moment before saying, "I have to go Harry, but take comfort in knowing that you have more than just Hermione, Ron and Kaylee on your side in this. I believe you too."

"Thank you Professor. Do you know when I can get out of here?" Harry asked.

"No, but I'm hoping it'll be soon?" she replied and walked out of the room.

"Sir," Professor Nickleson said as she sat down in the chair in front of Dumbledore's desk, "I have reason to believe that Potter didn't try to kill himself."

"Oh?" Dumbledore asked her.

"I spoke to him," she said slowly, "he honestly has no clue how it happened."

"He could just be saying that, you realize that Marie?" he quizzed her.

"Yes I know this," she said, "but what if I'm right and whoever did this to Potter is still in the school? You haven't been going out of your way to protect the students much this year as it is. If this leaked out then there would be hell to pay on our part."

Dumbledore thought about this and said slowly, "Is your conversation with Mr. Potter the only thing that made you come to this conclusion?"

"No," she said, "one of my students came to me today, feeling sick. His symptoms are remarkably similar to Harry's. I sent him up to the hospital wing."

Albus Dumbledore's pale blue eyes widened in shock and he sat up a litter straighter and asked in a horrified voice, "Which student?"

Her brown eyes seemed to harden a little as she said, "The student is the complete opposite to Potter, I'm not sure why he was targeted, but his name is Draco Malfoy."

Dumbledore stared at Draco's pale face with a thoughtful expression. On his upper arm was needle marks just like with Harry. The poison was injected in the muscle but went through to the blood.

He turned and looked quickly as Professor McGonagall walked in with Harry following her. He looked a tad bit paler than normal, but that was the consequences of being trapped in a room for a week.

"I owe you an apology Harry," he said to his student, "it appears that you weren't guilty of attempted suicide."

"I told you I didn't do it!" Harry replied viciously, "but does anyone believe me? Nope! No one even thought of using a truth potion on me!"

Snape, who was standing off to a corner, glared at him coldly at his words.

"Sir," a meek Professor Nickleson said as she walked out of a separate room, "I've got the results for whose fingerprints are on the needles used to inject Draco Malfoy."

"Who?" Everyone asked quickly.

"Well the name that showed up is shocking but not as much as it should be," she said slowly.

"Stop stalling Marie and tell us who it was," McGonagall said with annoyance heavy in her voice.

"Teather Dae," she said. After her words all that came into the room was an uncomfortable silence.

Hermione sat in the great hall poking at her dinner. Ever since Harry had been taken to get 'mental help' she had acted sulky and bored. On normal circumstances it would have annoyed a person but not this time. Everyone understood why she was in a rotten mood.

She glanced up at Kaylee and Ron and grinned a little bit. They were talking about something along the lines of ways to get Snape fired, but that's not why she was grinning. It was the fact that she knew they were holding hands underneath the table.

Her vision moved over to Luna at the Ravenclaw table. She was shooting death glares at Kaylee's back but made no move to come over. Hermione had never seen Luna look so…not spaced out before.

"Then again people do change as they grow," she thought and stared reflecting back on how much she, Harry and Ron had changed over the years.

Suddenly she became away that Ron and Kaylee were looking at something behind her with amazement.

"What?" she asked before turning around. Her mouth dropped and she let out an odd sound when she saw Harry grinning at her. She jumped up and flung her arms around his neck happily and squeezed the life out of him.

He laughed happily and requested, "Can we sit down Mione? We're attracting a lot of attention."

"Sure," she said in a chipper tone and they sat back down at the Gryffindor table.

Harry looked around for a moment and before anyone could ask him what he was doing there he said, "They finally realized I didn't put that poison in my system. Someone else did."

"How'd your fingerprints get on the needles then?" Ron asked with confusion.

Before Harry could answer Hermione said, "Muggles can do that Ron…it's not that hard. I imagine the person just used a copying spell, put a copy of his fingerprints on the needles he or she used."

"Yeah," her boyfriend agreed. He looked around the hall quickly and said, "Which school left now? There's even less people here."

"Three schools left," Kaylee piped up, "Subida Esperanza, Pharaohs Valley, and Goudster."

"So who's left?" he questioned curiously.

"Maple Merlin's, Salem, Athena's, Durmstrang and Beauxbaton," Ron replied.

"So what's with the whole sitting close and holding hands?" Harry continued his questionnaire.

"What?" Kaylee asked with surprise.

"I…er…please don't kill me," Ron said quickly.

Harry laughed and said, "I'm not going to kill you Ron. So you finally asked Kaylee out?"

"Yup," Ron said with a grin.

"Good on you mate," Harry said and whispered to Hermione, "I bet Luna's not to happy."

"You have no idea," she replied.

Everyone looked up as Dumbledore stormed in the room with a livid looking Umbridge behind him. All the other teachers (who had gotten there moments after Harry showed up) looked up with something similar to anger mixed with glee on their faces.

Dumbledore walked to the place behind his chair and said, "Students of Hogwarts, I have many announcements to be made to you on this day. The first thing is on a lighter note. The school of Athena's from Greece has finally been repaired so you will be home soon. Unfortunately I've gotten word that the schools of Durmstrang, Beauxbaton, Maple Merlin's and Salem still have much to repair, and the governments of Bulgaria, France, Canada and the United States of America have informed me that the schools probably won't be finished until close to the end of this year. Onto a darker topic now." His face clouded over and he looked dark and serious suddenly. "No teachers shall enter a student's room unless I am aware of it and have given them permission. There are security charms all over the school so I will be watching at all times. Students are not allowed outside after 6 o'clock, and teachers have to have permission to be out that late as well."

The whole hall burst into whispers. It shocked everyone to hear of the new security measures.

"There is no need to worry; no unknown person will enter the school at any period of time anymore. These new security measures are now in place because two of our students were poisoned and nearly killed. Please remember, that we are at a time of war and that it's a time of great danger. People jump to conclusions, as am I right now but I am not afraid of the consequences. It is my request that anyone whose parents work at the Minister send them a message. They must not trust Teather Dae anymore."

"NOW REALLY!" Umbridge exploded, "TEATHER DAE IS MY BOSS AND A GOOD MAN."

"Madam Umbridge, get out of my school this instance," Dumbledore said furiously.

"What did you just say?" she snarled violently.

"I ordered you to leave my school at once and if you fail to comply then you will be forced out," he said simply and turned to the school at a whole and said, "Students, it's time to rebel against Teather Dae."

"There will be no rebellion," Umbridge snapped.

"Peeves, if you could," Dumbledore said and the poltergeist flew into the hall. He had McGonagall's old walking cane with him. He started batting her with it and she ran out of the hall screaming. Everyone had a good chuckle at that.

(Note: Yes it'd quick and sudden but live with it; this is done for a reason)

"Look at the news," Ginny Weasley said quickly as Harry, Hermione and Ron joined them for breakfast the next morning. Kaylee was sitting at her table with her friends of Salem for once.

"What happened now?" Ron asked through a mouth full of scrambled eggs.

Ginny looked at him with disgust before saying, "Umbridge is dead."

"What?" they all asked together, Ron spraying the contents of his mouth all over the table, receiving many disapproving stares from the people around them.

Harry grabbed the paper and looked at the picture of Healers bending over a body covered by a white blanket in Hogsmead. They had already identified the person as Deloris Jane Umbridge. What stuck out on the picture though was a huge note on the wall behind her.

"This is what happens to traitors of Teather Dae," Hermione read. Her eyes studied the picture then she gasped.

"What?" Harry, Ron and Ginny asked.

She grabbed a muggle pen from her bag and wrote something underneath the words Teather Dae. When she was done everyone gasped at what she had done.

"Teather Dae," she said slowly, "is an anagram for Death Eater."

They all stared at each other with shock. It was right there in front of all of them the entire time. Teather Dae was a death eater.

Author's note

Been awhile hasn't it? Yes I'm still alive, I just had to take a break off from writing because of stress at school.

No, Harry's attacker wasn't Nickleson. Yes, Umbridge is dead, and there is more than beats the eye to her death. Also this story has decreased greatly in size. Originally there was about 50 chapters but I cut that down…a lot.

Now onto the long lost reviews! HAHA! I miss this.

X0ixheartxyouxi0x – That's the first time I heard that idea about Nickleson and I like it. I honestly do. Not saying it's right but I'm saying that I like the idea.

Colorguardbaby23 – Hey at least I didn't kill anybody (I just mentioned how people died). And the thing that's following them IS a human, so there's no worries about that.

Scarey-kid – LMAO you read this in class? LOL that's great. Woah Harry and Hermione getting married? When did I say that? As of now I'd say that Ron seems to be choosing Kaylee but…nah I won't tell ya. A lot of people complain about death tolls, glad someone didn't.

Ultra-violet-catastrophy – I did? Sorry about forgetting you! Anyways there's something a little bit off about you're review. I didn't go on a killing spree with Half Bloods. I killed a total of three of them (including the Prince). Well, since you insist I'll kill the Irish (LMAO JK!). Well you saw what was wrong with Harry in this chapter.

Alianne – You really think I'm going to tell you who Nickleson is? Nice try! LMAO!

PruePotter – Peter found the Orb of Efil at the beginning if that's what you were referring to. Harry feels like he met Nickleson before and yes you will find out all her little secrets in the end.

Shawn Pickett – Actually the person was stalking all the ULD members except for Harry. Twins wrote something like 'remember give her hell for us Peeves'.

Hpfanchrissy1502 – That's ok, my internet is being an ass lately too. And thanks! I hope I'm making this a little better because I know HBP was a little boring for the most part

Holimontski – LOL! Hermione, panicky and all that nice stuff when Harry's sick. Lord knows my school work won't suffer this semester because I dropped this really really hard course (it was a university course I was taking in grade 10, yeah) that I despised and I ended up having to take art then music in it's place (all grade 10s have to take them, gym and tech but I don't have to take those ones). Aww older brother telling younger sister syndrome (sindrom lol)

SapphireSecant – Key word there is killing SPREES. LAMO no I don't think I'll be showing you guys both endings, I'm too mean for that! But thanks for the compliments on my story!

Someone – Thank you

Lady Nicole Potter – You met the person before, that's all I'll say. Are you insane! That wasn't short! That was nearly 10 pages long on my computer. If you want me to make it longer then I quit! LMAO no you didn't do that one before but I like it! And don't worry, I'm back again! You better get the signs working again (LOL)

Carn – Looks like you were right eh?

Nandhp – Yes that chapter was creepy, and you never know, maybe the boogeyman is watching you! LOL! I'm so mean.

Danboy – Thank you.

Tennisprincess15 – That is a really good question and you're the first one to ask it. Don't worry that will be explained and that is important.

Beth5572 – Thank you

UltimateHPFreak – I never said the person was invisible! This chapter seemed to creep a few people out though.

Atrus Waverclan – Interesting name. Yup a pretty boring review, and I thought I had a suspenseful chapter for once!

Randomreaderguy – Yes that's true, I kill more, I introduce more, but the major thing is I'm not JKR so it's ok! Yes Harry fell sick fast but…well as you saw in this chapter it wasn't his fault

Ryan – Your first question was answered in this chapter. The next chapter is going to explain who was watching them.

Treck – Don't worry I've got plans for Umbridge alright! It'll be interesting, well at least to my sadistic mind it is.

Jada1010 – I do that with fics a lot too, at least you know I'll update it and not leave it. No I'm not going to kill any of them right yet. The next chapter? Well if your reading this then it's up but as I write this I have no clue when it'll be done. I don't like Valentines day, it's more commercialized then Christmas is, well I never liked Valentines, not even when I was little (shrugs). But thanks anyways and I guess happy late or early or whenever Valentines day!

Zirconium – I never said I was going to STOP killing, I said I was going to cool down, as in no more 100 people being killed at once. You win! Umbridge is leaving soon, but there's a reason why I made her show up.

Penghu-dust – LOL ok I'll never underestimate you again than. I love HP/HG too.

Imran1 – OK then, sorry I over reacted. No not many people will be dying, key word is MANY.

Harry James Gryffindor Potter – LOL it better be interesting? That sounded like a threat! Thanks anyways though.

Loup3402 – LMAO! Yup it's official, I'm not homicidal even though there are times I'd like to strangle my sister…but I suppose all older brothers and sisters think like that once and awhile.

CoolWeirdo – Yeah it was fun. No I'm not writing as fast because I've got a lot of other things that are more important to me then writing fanfics right now. Things will start being explained soon.

BaPa4L – Don't worry! No R/Hr, I would never write that! Don't worry!

Merlin-dcsa – Thank you!

Aznhermy – The title of the chapter or the title of the fic? Well the title of the chapter was the feeling of having someone stalking them, it just wasn't right and if you were referring for Scars of Time…well that comes later.

Rickyaj – Yes I know I didn't explain that, I just didn't have time to do it and I still don't have time. Long story short we all know Harry passed with flying colours and he appeared and disappeared around Grimmauld place all summer. The end. I'm not going to make this a R/Hr story, as of now it's not even a continued story!

Tonksss – I'm updating nearly 5 months later 

OCDboutHarry – Thanks

Harry Fan1221 – LOL thanks, but I don't think I do.

Lord of the Darkness and Light – That's ok, I kinda forgot about my story too.

Imran1 – I haven't quit, I took a break

Mc-spoot – Yeah I know…I took out the rest of the songs I had planned for this.

Idiot with reason – actually right now grades are everything to me…that's why I had a break but Imma back!

Star of 08 – LMAO that's an awesome thought! Sirius as Professor Nickleson! And the Peter theory is interesting too but no, Nickleson is NOT Sirius or Peter. Sirius is dead and he will stay dead, I can promise you that.

Kattwild – Sorry for making you wait…months? Haha so much for the riot…

Noimosyni – Yes I agree with that but I didn't mean that she was ABUSIVE like beating him. I meant it as joking and play wrestling. My friend and her boyfriend for over a year do it in public, and always laugh about it. This wasn't supposed to imply domestic violence…sorry if it did.

Atrus Valentein – Yeah sorry for the long break…if people would actually READ MY PROFILE they'd realize why I wasn't here anymore!

SilverBullet23 – Nope it's not Lily.

Drtfluvr – Haha no one but me knows what's going on with Nickleson.

Aubs – Yeah sorry I had to kill Josh…

Lgfrommk2931 – No actually I don't remember you…sorry! Then again I haven't been here in awhile either…

Ali – Yeah I know Half Blood Prince didn't explain much, it's because it was supposed to be explained in this story…but that's a good point, no one else noticed that I never REALLY explained WHY Voldemort wanted Vulcan alive…

Mione5 – Mrs. Granger DIDN'T know Lily was magic. All she knew was that she left for boarding school every year. She was also a few years older so she couldn't keep track of her that much.

Dracosgirl – haha. Well I hope your trip to France WAS fun…hey no worries…there was no updates in along time so you didn't miss anything

Nikky – Thanks, but sorry I haven't updated in awhile. No I've decided on the ending and you're all only seeing one of them!

Benwa – Thanks

Smith Jonathan – Wouldn't both of us like to know where this is going…

Rich – Thanks

Ave – That is an interesting idea…but nope.

NixiNox – Sure…Yes I'm 16 now…I just never got around to updating my profile aside form the note saying I was leaving for a bit.

Jennchow – Thanks?

NikkyB – I think I might have replied to you already but whatever. Maybe people should take up reading profiles to see why I don't update…just a thought…don't bother looking now though because I changed it from the note saying I was leaving.

Robert – Sometime?

K – I think it's been closer to like 5 months now

Sinead aine lisa Purcell – Thanks

Randomreaderguy – I know how this is gonna end but here's the thing, who said I was getting rid of Voldemort?

Hp-lover-1-lol – Yes I'm going to finish this one…don't spazz at me! I have a life aside from ff.n! Sorry if that sounded bitchy…didn't mean for it to come out like that.

ULD-rules – haha love the name. Thanks for the review!

For the Love of Harry – Yeah well a lot of things are going to be happening now that I'm back. For instance can anyone else aside from me sense some strain between Harry and Hermione.

Inugirl – lol well I'm glad you like the story so far. What spell? Wow I'm confused…I should go back and reread what I wrote. Sure I can leave it. That's a lot of questions…and don't worry I'm going to get to all of them.

Harry'sGurl – That's a good question. Maybe she's just making all the stuff about her father up. No one thought of that yet. I hope it turns out to be H/Hr but I'm starting to think it'll be R/Hr…

Deena – Well I've stared updating again! But thanks anyways.

Well please review! And once again sorry for the long long long long wait!
